XXIX. Send Humilitie.

I Do not remember, that the word INFINITE is in Scripture at∣tributed to any Creature, save to the City of Ninive, Naham 3.9. Ethyopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was INFINITE.

But what is now become of Ninive? it is even buried in its own ruines, and may have this Epitaph upon it;

Hic jacet FINIS INFINITI,

Page 44

Here lyeth the END of what was END∣LESSE.

He, who beheld the multitude of A∣ctors & Beholders, at the Mustering in HIDE PARK, on the 24. of Aprill last, will say, that there was an INFINITE number of people therin. Some would hardly beleeve, that the whole Nation could afford so many, as the City of London alone did then produce.

My prayer shall ever be, that this great City may be kept either in the WHOLESOME IGNORANCE, or HUMBLE KNOWLEDGE of its own STRENGTH, least the peo∣ple Numberlesse prove Masterlesse ther∣in. And let them remember (God for∣fend the Parallet) what is become of great Ninive at this day, annihilated for the Pride thereof.
