1. AND yet, Lord, are wee sensible of the distances of times; yea, wee can com∣pare them one with another, and say, that some are shorter, and others longer▪ Wee mea∣sure also, how much this time is longer or shorter then that, and wee finde this to bee dou∣ble,
or thrice as long; and that but once; or this iust so much as that. Yea as the times are vpon passing, doe we measure them; when by casting them ouer in our minds, we obserue them. As for the past times, which now are not; or the future, which yet are not, who is able to measure them: vn∣lesse perchance some one man be so bold to affirme, that That may be measured, which is not? All the whole time is a pas∣sing, it may bee obserued and measured well enough: but when it is once passed, it possibly cannot, because it is not.
