I met a Coffin made of such sweet wood, & adorned with such curious hinges, & deckt with such stately appurtenances, as seemed to give ornament to death it self, and make a grave desireable, which yet in a few hours was to be covered with dust. How is the life of man imployed about, and intent upon matter of ostentation? and how much of a vain shew is used in death it self, that so fully discovers that all is but a vain shew.
