LIFE OF AMBROSE BONWICKE BY HIS FATHER. EDITED BY JOHN E. B. MAYOR, M.A. FELLOW OF ST. JOHN'S COLlege, 138 Now, if this wisdome onely can be found By seeking God, euen in the Faith he giues; If earth, heauen, sea, starres, creatures be the bound, If true obedience be the way to this, And onely who growes better, wiser is; 139 Then let not curious, silly Flesh conceiue It selfe more rich or happy when it knowes These words of Art, which men (as shells) must cleaue, Before the lifes true wisdome they disclose; Nor when they know to teach, they know not what, But when their doings men may wonder at. 140 For onely that man vnderstands indeed And well remembers, which he well can doe, LORD BROOKE, Of Humane Learning. |
