Tyme.
EVery thing hath a time: yea all that is vnder the heauen hath his conueni∣ent season. There is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to plant, & a time to plucke vp the thing that is plan∣ted. A time to slay, a time to make hole. A time to break down, and a time to build vp. A time to weepe, & a time to laugh. A time to mourne, and a time to daunce. A time to cast away stones, & a time to gather stones togither. A time to embrace, and a time to refraine from embracing. A time to winne, and a time to lose. A time to spare, & a time to spend. A time to cut in peeces, & a time to sow togither. A time to keepe silence, and a time to speake. A time to loue, and a time to hate. A time of warre, and a time of peace.
