p. 54Man what he is.

Nosce teipsum: Know thy selfe:

IT is no small point of wisdome (saith a learned Father) for a Man to know himself: If he know his Bodie, he will say with the Prophet, I am fearfully Psal. 139. 14. Gen. 2. 7. Psal. 8. 4.Ps 139:14Gen 2:7Ps 8:4made: If he know his Soul, he will say with Moses, It is a breath of Life: If he know his Condition, he will say with David, What is Man? But for a man to know what belongs to a Man, to dwell as they say within himselfe, to descend into his own bosome, and to keep himself within his own Scantling, is the part of a most wise man, and is indeed Nosce teipsum.

He that knoweth not what he should know, is a Beast among Men.

He that knoweth no more then must needs, is a Man among Beasts.

He that knoweth All that he may know, is a God among Men.

p. 55MAn is composed of the foure Elements, of Fire, Water, Earth, and Ayre, and of all their qualities; in that his vitall spirits agreeth with the fire, his humours with the water, his body with the earth, and his hearing with the ayre, being a Creature fearfully, and wonderfully made by God of the clay of the ground, fashioned wholly round about, clothed with skinne and flesh, and joyned together with bones and sinewes, having his breath from the Almighty, and his Creation after his own image and likenesse (that is) in righteousnesse and holinesse, as the Apostle witnesseth: Which Image being lost by Adams transgression, his Conception is now in sinne, and his birth in Iniquitie, his Father is Corruption, his Mother and Sister Wormes, his habitation is a house of Clay to dwell in, as his foundation is in the Dust, during his time of abiding.

Man is borne in Corruption and Sinne, weeping and wailing: To shew his Miserie.

Man liveth in Miserie and Labour, Laughing and Toiling: To shew his Follie.Wisd▪ 7.Wis 7

Man dieth in Griefe and Anguish, Sighing and Sobbing: To shew his Simpliciti….

So that his Birth is in tea…es, life in sweat, and death in sorrow.

His

Mans Infancie is a Dreame, rashnesse, and foolish simplicitie.

Mans Youth is a Frenzie, rage, and vain heat.

Mans Manhood is a Combate, covetousnsse and p…infull carefulnesse.

Mans Old age is a Sicknesse, weaknesse, and noisome languishing.

Mans Life is a Miserie, vexation, and full of Troubles.

Mans Death is a Horrour, dread, and fearfulnesse.

So that Teares and Complaints are his beginnings.

Travels and pains-taking are his progresse and proceeding.

Dread his death, and corruption in the grave his ending.

Thus, as Iob saith, Man that is borne of a woman is full of trouble, and hath but a short time to live: He commeth up, and is cut downe like a flower, having his beginningIob 14. 2.Job 14:2 and ending in nakednesse, being condemned as soon as conceived, and before he is borne, to eternall death judged.

His

Mans Breath is in his nostrils. Strength, labour and toiling.Isai. 2. 22.Isa 2:22

Mans Beauty is as a Moath. Abiding, is as the Grashopper.Psal. 39. 11.Ps 39:11

Mans Memory is forgetfulnesse. Glory, as a Flower.Psal. 109. 23.Ps 109:23

Mans Eares are floud-gates to let in sin. Eyes windows to behold vanities.1 Pet. 1. 24.1 Pet 1:24

Mans Heart an Anvill for Satan to work on Sences, matches to kindle lust.2 Sam. 11.2 Sam 11

And

Hath within him, sinne rebelling against him: without, the world to allure him: on the right▪ hand, Prosperitie to inveigle him: on the left hand, adversitie to vex him: Before him, Satans snares to entangle him: behind, Conscience to dog him: under his feet, the grave to swallow him: over his head, Gods judgements to fall on him.

Thus the Orient and Occident, Prologue, and Epilogue of Mans life is nothing but Misery and Vanitie, having nothing assured him, but the assured Certaintie and Uncertaintie of Death. Certain, because no man can stop it. Uncertain three manner of wayes:

1. In regard of Time: No man knowes When he shall dye.

2. In regard of Place: No man knowes Where he shall dye.

3. In regard of the End: No man knowes How he shall dye.

And therein is the Promise fulfilled made unto us of God by the Prophets, namely that he willIer. 31. 33. Ezek 36. 26. Psal. 119. 17, 47.Jer 31:33Ezek 36:26Ps 119:17Ps 119:47 take from us the …ony heart, in stead whereof he will give us a heart of flesh, wherein he will ingrave his Law, that we may walke in his Commandements. Hence it commeth that the Law of God which in former time was grievous, and hated of us, is not only not grievous, but most acceptable and delightfull.

As also in Paul crying out, Oh miserable man that I am, who shall deliver me Rom. 7. 24.Rom 7:24from this body of sinne? So that the Spirit of heavinesse goeth before the Garment of gladnesse, for that there is no reaping in joy without sowing in teares.Psal. 126. 5.Ps 126:5
