MAN and the World do resemble much; The Heart is like the Torrid Zone, and the slame blazes there as the Sun
which sends forth Raies through the Eyes, that draw in Affecti∣ons, where some Objects are like the gross Vapours, which gather into Clouds of Melancholy, which darkens the resplen∣dent lights of Joy, quashes the natural Heat, and nourisheth Hu∣mours wherewith the Health is impaired, and the body becomes lean barren and cold; but when the Heat of the Heart dissipates those Vapours, it either turns into windy Throbs, or Showers of Tears, or thundring Grones; or else it rarifies into a Christal∣line Tranquillity.
