POLICIE XCVI. Look? asquint in dangers.

BE not too fixt nor intent up∣on what is before you or in your eye, but looke asquint into your considerations and about you: dangers and assaults may come from other parts, and flow in like a Tide, where there is the greatest cracke in the wall.

Thus,

The men of Ai perisht, for they looked not backe till they saw, And behold the smoake of the city ascen∣ded, Josh. 8. 20.
