MAX. 59.

If thou desire to raise thy For∣tunes, Encourage thy delights to the casts of Fortune; be wise be times, lest thou repent too late; what thou gettest, thou gainest by abused Provi∣dence; what thou losest, thou losest by abused Patience; what thou winnest is prodigally spent; what thou losest is prodigally lost: It is an Evil trade that prodigally drives; and a bad Voyage where the Pilot is blind.
