*I have read of a bird which hath a face like, and yet will prey upon, a man, who, coming to the water to drink, and finding there by rellexion that he had killed one like himself, pineth away by degrees, and never after enjoyeth itself. Such was in some sort the condition of. This accident that he had killed one put a period to his earnal mirth, and was a covering to his eyes all the days of his life. Death was so sent to him as to allow him time to rise up on his knces and to cercle. Lord have mercy upon me. Fuller's Worthies vol. II. p. 17.
