VVhat can be more beautifull, honest, or delectable, then that we daily behold in this present life? O how admirable i•• the glorious vaute of heauen in the tralucent ayre, in the light of the Sunne, in the increase and decrease of the Moone, in the variety and course of the starres: how delightfull is the earth, in the flowers and flourish of vvoods, in the sweetnes of fruites, in the pleasantnes of meddowes and riuers, in the ripenes & plenty of corne, in the fruitfulnes of Vineyards loaden with clusters of Grapes, in the shades and chaces of woods, in the running and coursing of Horses and Doggs, in the skippings and iumpings of Harts and Goates, in the flying of Hawkes, in the necks and feathers of Peacocks, Doues, and Turtles, in the paynted walls and carued roofes of houses, in the sweet and pleasing sounds and tunes of Organes, and all musicke, in the beautifull aspects of vvomen, in their fore-heads, in their hayre, in their eyes and cheekes, in their lips and necks, in their nose and hands, and e∣specially if they be beautified and adorned with gold and preci∣ous stones, with Bracelets, Ouches, Carcan••ts, and Tablets, and such other Ornaments, which I cannot in any wise reckon?
