Therefore should every soldier in the wars do as every sick man in his bed, wash every mote out of his conscience ; and dying so, death is to him advantage ; or not dying, the time was blessedly lost wherein such preparation was gained : and in him that escapes, it were not sin to think that, making God so free an offer, he let him outlive that day to see his greatness, and to teach others how they should prepare.

Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height.
307. oldal - Now entertain conjecture of a time, When creeping murmur, and the poring dark, Fills the wide vessel of the universe.
