[ 1826] The Saints Infirmities.
AS all Men, dwelling in houses of clay, and carrying about them the earthly
Tabernacles of their bodies, between whiles (will they, nill they) sleep, by
reason of bodily infirmity,* 1.1 and by a kind of unwelcome heavinesse nod towards
the Earth, as it were pointing at their natural Element, whereunto they must
in a short processe of time be reduced: So even the best of Gods children, com∣passed
with Flesh and bloud cannot but at times bewray their folly and unstead∣fastnesse;
The best Artist hath not alwayes his wits about him, quando{que} bonus
dormitat Homerus;* 1.2 and the most watchful circumspect Christian doth not al∣wayes
stand so fast upon his guard of Faith and a good Conscience, but he may at
one time or other be taken napping.
