In sequentem doctissimi Domini Jo∣hannis Wilsoni de statu Vanitatis vanissimo Tractatum.

ALitis aucupio argenti lassatus inani, Crasse, sitibundus fulvum, liquidum{que} metallum Deglutis. Quis non crassus? Sudre solutae Liquuntur vires, cura laniantur atroci, Fallitur, eripitur, lato captatur biatu, Ulterius sitiens tamen urget hirudo petendi. Quis petit ah quis! Aquas ex fonte salutis aperto? Quisve Deum, Christum, coelum sectatur anhelus? Aut tempestiva quis sllicitudine status Pungitur aeterni? Nullus? Forte unus, & alter. Pro Coelo certare jubet sapientia, clamans Excute segnitiem, cessator, ad arma vocaris; Persentisce, piger, stimulos torpedine dempta; Dum radio claro fallacia gaudia monstrat Brachia Centimano desunt, obtorpet Arachne, Lynceus & talpa est, O Monstrum! Batte, silebis, Midas auritus petulante reculcitrat aestu, Parve; tibi suadee, liber, provincia dura est. Sed quid dico? Tuum non est opus, illa potestas Sufficit hic tantum cui mundi machina debet, Illius auxilio pravorum dedoceantur Artifices, discant potius pollere supernis, Turpe, rogent nostrum quo tandem vivere ducat, Crustati vitiis mollescant; sint{que} lacertis Herculis indomiti vera pietate subacti; Aures at{que} graves pateant dum tympana pulsas, Det Deus & monitis corda incrassata terebres. * 1.1 Segniter in quot, inepte, dies dormis vocat, instet

Spiritus. Ah nondum? Rursum vocitabere? Surge Eia ais? Inquit Surge. Negas? Sed surgito. Surgam Quando? Cras, Cras? Ludis. Sum serius Hei ho, O abiit jam tota dies dum clamito surge. Quorsum? en prae foribus vigiles minitantur acerba Mors armata, Sathan{que} furens, Barathrum{que} dehiscens. Pectora justitiae verae thorace tuere, Spe{que} salutifera galeatus protinus esto; Arreptus subito scripturae stringitor ensis; Quo minus igniferis telis penetrere Sathanis, Mors armis exuta suis captiva trahatur, Infernus{que} vorax frustra dilatet hiatum, Stertis adhuc? abeo, nec habebis porro vocantem.

J. GOLBORNE.
