Ab initio, ad finem.
Begin at home.
To goe to th'ground of th'matter.
From top to toe; cap a pee.
He's all in all.
Looke well about you.
From head to heele.
He that stayes in the valley shall never get o're the hill.
Hold on and be happie.
You are in the way of pre∣ferment.
From the Start or Staffe—
Tis a great journey to the worlds end.
Drive the nayle to the head.
From th'egges to th'ap∣ples.
Almost was never hang'd.
Soft and faire goes far in a day.
From the wombe to the tombe.
Well begun is halfe done.

That's the busynesse now in hand.
They have not set one foot for ward as yet, so much as begun to—
'Tis a great way to the bottome of the Sea.
To give the hint.
Every mothers child of us.

Ab ipso lare.
A capite arcessere.
A fonte ducere.
A capite usque ad cal∣cem.
Pro•• & puppis.
A fronte atque a tergo.
A planta pedis usque ad verticem.
In medio virtus, in sum∣mo foelicitas.
Ad calcem pervenire.
A carceribus.
Venimus ad summam li∣neam.
A linea incipere.
Ab ovo usque ad mala.
Exordiri telam.
A teneris unguiculis. Ab incunabulis.
A cunis ad canos.
Principium dimidium to∣tius.
Satius est initiis mederi

quàm fini.
Ea tela texitur.
Quodcunque in solum venit.
Scindere glaciem.
Toto organo.
Ne inter apia quidem sunt.
A coelo ad terram.
Fores aperire.
Ex eodem lare.
A calvo ad calvum.
Primas lineas ducere.
Extrema linea.
