Side 251 - Ignoratur enim quae sit natura animai, nata sit an contra nascentibus insinuetur, et simul intereat nobiscum morte dirempta an tenebras Orci visat vastasque lacunas...
Side 201 - Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Side 487 - Ac velut immissi diversis partibus ignes arentem in silvam et virgulta sonantia lauro; aut ubi decursu rapido de montibus altis dant sonitum spumosi amnes, et in aequora currunt quisque suum populatus iter...
Side 170 - Princes actions, and their weight, wee perswade our selves, they are brought forth by some as weighty and important causes ; wee are deceived : They are moved, stirred and removed in their motions, by the same springs and wards, that wee are in ours.

Side 207 - I expound this fantazy as plaine as I can, because many deeme it hard to be conceived : And the Authors themselves represent it somewhat obscurely and diversly. Touching the actions of life, in that they are after the common sort, they are lent and applied to naturall inclinations, to the impulsion and constraint of passions, to the constitutions of lawes, and customes, and to the tradition of arts : Non enim nos Deus ista scire, sed tantummodo uti voluit (Cic. Divin. i.). For God would not have...
Side 323 - In f<aj£r" there is no constant existence, neither of our being, nor of the objects. And we, and our judgement, and all mortall things else do uncessantly rowle, turne, and passe away. Thus can nothing be certainely established, nor of the one, nor of the other ; both the judgeing and the judged being in continuall alteration and motion.
Side 170 - A gust of contrarie winds, the croking of a flight of Ravens, the false pase of a Horse, the casual flight of an Eagle, a dreame, a sodaine voyce, a false signe, a mornings mist, an evening fogge, are enough to overthrow, sufficient to overwhelme and able to pull him to the ground.
