[ 1236] Crowns have their periods, length of dayes their date, Triumphs their tombs, Felicity it's Fate.
SUch then is the Vanity of all temporal things,* 1.1 compared with those Eternal;
The beauty of all Wordly things being but as a fair picture drawn upon the
〈◊〉〈◊〉 that melts away with it; The fashion of this World passeth away; And
d••d but Worldly Men consider, what is become of all those, that have had as
great dealings, and as many merry-meetings as they, and have indulged the Flesh
as much as they, that they are gone, rotten in their graves, and their Souls (it
may be) crying under the wrath of an infinite God, and all their bravery and
delights at an end, they would then leave doating on the World, and fix their
hearts upon things that shall make for their Eternal and everlasting good.
