Whose Gold Is Double With A Careful

See How The World (whose Chaste And Pregnant Womb Of Late Conceiv'd, And Brought Forth Nothing Ill) Is Now Degenerated, And Become A Base Adult'ress, Whose False Births Do Fill The Earth With Monsters, Monsters That Do Roam And Rage About, And Make A Trade To Kill: Now Glutt'ny Paunches, And Avarice A Pawn; Pale Envy Pines, Pride Swells, And Sloth Begins To Yawn.

In The Height Of Thy Prosperity Expect Adversity, But Fear It Not. If It Come Not, Thou Art The More Sweetly Possessed Of The Happiness Thou Hast, And The More Strongly Confirmed. If It Come, Thou Art The More Gently Dispossessed Of The Happiness Thou Hadst, And The More Firmly Prepared.

If God Send Thee A Cross, Take It Up Willingly And Follow Him. Use It Wisely, Lest It Be Unprofitable. Bear It Patiently, Lest It Be Intolerable. If It Be Light, Slight It Not. If It Be Heavy, Murmur Not. After The Cross Is The Crown.

Knowledge Descries; Wisdom Applies.

I See No Virtue Where I Smell No Sweat.
