Portraits of the Author and his Brother.

Thus to Posteritye; when wee (returned
To our cold Principles) wander, in scorned
Atomes, vnknowne; perhaps, these figures, may
Vs, to a Time vnheard of yet, convay;
Or, should they faile our purpose; can wee blame
Fortune at all? when Nature doth the Same?
Necessitie, (which noe Care, can prevent,)
Makes man a foole, and frustrates his intent;
Decr. Die Iulij: 1.6.4.7.
