But as we often see against some storm, There's silence
in ye Heav ye Rack stands still, The bold Wind's speech= =less & ye orb below As hush as Death: Anon ye dreadf.
Thunder Doth rends ye Air; so after some short pawse
Doth vengeance rowze its.

Give thy thoughts noe tongue,
nor any Unproportione’d thought his Act
Bee thou Familliar, but by noe meanes vulgar:
those Friends thou hast & their Adoption tryed,
Grapple them unto thy soule with Hoopes of steele:
But doe not dull thy Palme with Entertainment
of each new hatcht; unfledg’d Courages: beware
of entrance to a Quarrell, but being in
bear’t that the opposer may beware of thee;
Give every man thy eare, but few thy voice
take each mans Censure, but reserve thy Judgement
