15 To one of a great memory, but depraved life.
Though many things your memory containe:Jf by your mind, to matters it be led,
Which are lesse profitable to retaine,
Then to commit t'oblivion, it is bad:
And whatsoever arts it comprehend:
If it remember not on piety:
Repentance for enormous sins: the end
Of life, Gods judgements, and his clemencie;
Those necessary precepts while you lake,
You but forget your selfe: and it is weake.
