Allegory 15.

THE Head of Man is like a Wilderness, where Thoughts, as several Creatures, live therein, 25 Coveting Thoughs which hunt after our Appetites, which never leave feeding untill their desires are satisfied, or indeed they are glutted; others so fear∣full that every Object is apt to startle them; and others so dull and slow, like crawling Worms; others so elevated, like Birds, they fly in Aery Imaginations, and many above all possibility.
