gestur of casting up the whites of their eys, when they intend to tell

humors; because it is a bundle of matter that is scrambled together,
which could not be wrapt up in such clean linnen, or drest up in such_
holding forth _Language and pious hypocrisie, as such generally make

Spirits with a little laughter, and never busie their brains with the
subversion of State and Church government: And being well received by
such, it is as much as is expected by him who is thine. Farewell._

confusions that they had upon another. And the very penning thereof,
doth, as it were anew, repossess them of all the pleasures, and
conveyeth them through all the Countries, without so much as the least
moving of a foot. Just so it goes with those that have been under the
Bands of Matrimony, and are loosed from them: These being then come to
be solitary, at rest, and in quie
