Sect. 3.
* 1.1What he saith, that (necessity of nature makes us de∣sire our own good, and avoyd that which is hurtful) is true in that generality, but applyed to any particular, is false; for there is no particular but may appeare to some men good, and to others hurtfull: even these things, life or death, are such; some men have thought this temporall life a misery clothed with these circumstances they pos∣sesse it with, like a rotten house, which, when the winds and raine drives in, is worse then the open fields; like a Prison, it were better have no house then that; such is the body to the soul; and therefore men may, and have often wished to be delivered out of it, and death to some men is as desired as a freedome from a Gaole. This Gentleman talkes up and downe in these books, not only like a natural man, but like the worst of them, and the wickedest; for wise men among them have written much in contempt of these sensual temporal things, in which he placeth the only aime and happiness of man.
