POLICIE CXCV. In time of peace build Cities.
IN any calme of opportunity of estate or fortunes, apply your self only to the confirmati∣on and assuring of what you en∣joy, and you shall make as hap∣py prosiciency in the circle of such a purpose, as in proceeding to new degrees of getting, for∣tune like the Sea when she flowes in will sall backe, if you have no engine to stay her.
Thus,
Asah King of Iudah, when the Lord had given him rest, said unto Iudah, Let us build Cities, and make about them wals and towers, while the Land is yet before us, 2 Chron. 14. 7.
