 have enriched whole reams of Papet 
 with the Isdian Mine, and golden 
 chaffer of their invention: yet for 
 that module of thefe habiliments in 
 me, I have ever bent my judgment, fo 
 far asin it lay, to limit all thefe unto 
 their peculiar time, objects,and places, 
 and have tendred my endeavor to have 
 efpecially two, the one correfpondent 
 unto the other: neitherto act Demo- 
 sritus, nor Nicias ; but by intercourfe 
 to mix my fweeter Meditation with 
 bitter,yet profitable, & better Action. 
 And, as in other things of greater or 
 lefs moment, fo in this alfo, the abor- 
 tive iffue of my Wit, begot of that a- 
 bundance of love I owe unto your

 Pr-He Melancholick man is faid of the 
 Wife to be aut Deus, ant Damon; ci-

 For in whom foever this Humor hath domi- 
 
 _ Mion, che Soul is either wrap*d up into an 
 
 Elyfhum,and Paradife ot blifs,by an Heavenly 
 Contemplation; or into a direfol hellith 
 Purgatory, bya Cynical Meditation: like 
 unto an huge Veflel on therowling Sea, that

 it There was an Humorous Melancholick 
 wi/Scholar, who being clofe at his Study, as he 
 was Wiping his rhenmatick Nofe, prefently 
 imapined that his Nofe was bigger then his 
 Whole Body, and that the weight of it 
 itfweighed down his Head, fo that he altoge- 
 kilther was afhamed to come into Company. 
 "The Phyficians, to att Chicn of this conceit, 
 Minvented this means , they tooka great quan- 
 tlitity of flefh, having the proportion of a 
 WitNofe, which they cunningly joyned to his 
 Pace whiles he wasafleep: then being wa»

 wh the Blond thrilled down,and while he cryed 
 Wout vehemently for the pain, the Phyfician 
 le with a jerk ewitch’d it from his face, and

 Of his conceit that thought him{eif Dead,
