43 Mors in Olla.
VVhere's Death? I'th'VVorld. VVhere is the VVorld? In Death:Death to it Self: for, nothing in the VVorld
Kills and confounds the VVorld, more than the VVorld;
VVhich breeds, and feeds, and giveth Life to Death.
But, from the VVorld could God's Love wean the VVorld,
Killing the VVorld's Love, and his Issue, Death;
Then happy wee should triumph over Death;
The VVorld not worldly; Death dead in the VVorld.
