The wealth we by our worldly traffique gaine,

Weighes light if ballanc'd with the feare or paine.

Paucitatem dierum meorum nuncia mihi. David.

Tell me O great All knowing God!

What period

Hast thou unto my dayes assign'd?

Like some old leafelesse tree, shall I

Wither away: or violently

Fall by the axe, by lightning, or the Wind?
