THE SOVLES COMPLAINT against the BODIES ENCROACH∣MENTS ON HER: And the Generall Neglect she findes with Most.

BY WILLIAM PRYNNE, above foure yeares Prisoner in the Tower of London; and since that, above three yeares Close Prisoner in Carnarvan in North-Wales, and in Mount-Orgueil Castle, in the Isle of Iersy.

Matthew 16. 26.
For what is a man profitted, if he shall gaine the whole World, and lose his owne Soule? or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soule?

Isaiah 55. 2. 3.
Wherefore doe ye spend money for that which is not Bread? and your la∣bour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eate ye that which is good, and let your SOVLE delight it selfe in fatnesse. Encline your eare and come unto me, heare and your SOVLE shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure Mercies of David.

1 Peter 2. 11.
Dearely beloved, I beseech you as Pilgrims and Strangers abstaine from fleshly lusts, which war against the Soule.

1 Peter 3. 3. 4.
Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the haire, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparell: But let it be the hidden man of the Heart, in that which is not corruptible; even the ornament of a meeke and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

London Printed by T. Cotes, for Michael Sparke dwelling at the blue Bible in Greene Arbor. 1641.
