summary:
  For all that is in the World , The Lust of the Flesh , is not of the FATHER , but is of World , &c. 41 STrow Flowers for Spend-thrift ; Antemasks he might Act before Apes , Spectators right : Whose Dops , Shrugs , Puppet-playes , shew best by Candle-light . 82 Who feares GOD , is , without Despondence , sad ; Timorous , without Despair ; and glad , Without wild freaks : Whereas the World's Knave , Fool , or Mad. 83 Part should the World what are in Man combin'd ; The Body melts to be refin'd ; Grace cheeres the Suffering , Glory crowns the conquering Mind .

  [Hebrew] or Wisdome and prudence exhibited in a sermon before the right honourable the Lord Chief Justice Rainsford, and the Lord Chief Justice North. In their late western circuit. By Tho. Tanner, Rector of Brightstone in Hants.

summary:
  If it pleased in the heaing ( being but dense of matter ) why may it not be more profitable in the reading , and never out of season ? we have heretofore been taken up in comparing spiritual things with spiritual , but since through a surquedry of new models ( which did not answer expectation ) men have come to take offence at Religion it self , in whatsoever dresse she doth appear : so that we have been reduced to compare even natural things with spiritual ; and by this discourse ( I trust ) it will appear , that the later hath infinitely the more advantages . For , unto man he said , Behold , the fear of the Lord , that is wisdom , and to depart from evil , that is understanding , or a right Prudence .

  No wicked man a wise man, true wisdom described the excellency of spiritual, experimental, and saving knowledge, above all humane wisdom and learning ... / by R. Younge ...

summary:
  Whereas the godly care for the s●ul as the chief Jew●l ▪ and onely treasure ; and for the body for the souls sake , and settle their inheritance in no land but the land of promise ; their end being to possess a Kingd●m without end . True WISDOM Described , &c. Section 1. MEn no more differ from beasts , plants , stones , in shape , speech , reason , then some men differ from others in brain , in heart , in life : Whence the very heath●n Poets usually and most fitly compare some men to stones , for their hardness and ●nsensibleness ; others to plants , that only fill their veins ; a third sort to beasts , that please their senses too ; a fourth to evil Angels , that only sin , and cause others to sin ; a fifth to good Angels , that are still in motion , always serving God , and doing good , yet ever rest .

  Salomons diuine arts, of 1. Ethickes, 2. Politickes, 3. Oeconomicks that is; the gouernment of 1. Behauiour, 2. Common-vvealth, 3. Familie. Drawne into method, out of his Prouerbs & Ecclesiastes. With an open and plaine paraphrase, vpon the Song of songs. By Ioseph Hall.

summary:
  I haue seene ( indeed ) the trauell , that God hath giuen the sons of men , to humble them thereby , that all things are full of labour , man cannot vtter it ; A man that hath friendes , ought to showe himselfe friendly : for a friend is neerer then a brother ; Thy owne friend therefore , and thy fathers friend forget thou not : for whether hee reprooue thee ; The woundes of a louer are faithfull or whether hee aduise ; As Oyntment and Perfui●●e reioyce the heart , so doth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by hearty counsell : or whether he exhort ; Iron sharpens iron , so doth a man sharpen the face of his friend ; and all this , not in the time of prosperity onely , as commonly , Riches gather manie friends , and the poore is separated from his neighbour : but contrarily , A true friend loueth at all times , & a brother is born for aduersitie ; in all estates therfore , as the face in the water answers to face , so the hart of man to man ; who yet , may not bee too much pressed : Withdrawe thy foot from thy neighbors house , least he be wearie of thee , and hate thee ; neither enter into thy brothers house in the daie of thy calamitie : nor againe , too forward in profering kindnesse to his owne losse ; A man destitute of vnderstanding toucheth the hand , and becommeth suretie for his neighbour : If therefore thou art become surety for thy neighbour ( much more if thou haue strikē hands with the strāger ) thou art snared with the wordes of thine owne mouth , thou art euen taken with the words of thine owne mouth .
