BONAVENT. de contemptu seculi.

O that men would be wise, understand, and foresee: Be wise, to know three things: The multitude of those that are to be dam∣n••••: the few number of those that are to be saved; and the vani∣ty of transitory things: Vnderstand three things; the multitude of sinnes, the omission of good things, and the losse of time: Fore∣see three things, the danger of death, the last judgement, and eternall punishment.
