(36) That one thinge Produceth annother.
The frutefull peace begetts desired plentie;
desired plentie brings forth lothsome pride;
the lothsom pride makes men by warr to die;
longe warrs cause wofull povertie ech tyde,
and povertie makes frutefull peace to springe:
thus the worlds wheele is turn'd in everie thinge.

longe warrs cause wofull povertie ech tyde,
and povertie makes frutefull peace to springe:
thus the worlds wheele is turn'd in everie thinge.
The fruitfull earth gives forth sustayning grasse;
sustayning grasse doth feed the norishing beasts;
the nourishing beaste, into manns flesh doth passe;
and glotinous mann, that feedes with daintie feaste,
dissolved is to frutefull yearth in hast;
for what feede vs, one vs doth feed at last.

Thus runns about by dailie circulation
ech earthlie thinge create by heavenlie hand;
for ones curruption is others generation,
as natures lawe hath linked with her band;
then happie thow, if sowle in true degree
doe end in god, from whome it came to thee.
