Verſe 38. Goroaning in himſelf] To conſider, belike, Mihi experto credite, quòd apertis ſepulcbris in capitibus invenietis buſones ſaltantes generates excereb[illegible: 1 letter]o, &c. Serm 48. ad fratres in eremo. the wofull effects of ſin, that brought death into the world, even on the beſt; and makes them a ghaſtly and lothſome ſpectacle: ſo that Abraham deſires to bury his beloved Sarah out of his ſight. Beleeve me, who have made triall of it, ſaith Sr Auguſtine, Open a grave, and in the head of the dead man ye ſhall finde toads leaping, that are begotten of his brain, ſerpents craw Ang on his loins, that are bred out of his kidneyes, wormes creeping in his belly, that grow out of his bowels: Ecce quid ſumus, & quid jam erimus: Ecce in quod reſolvimur: En peccati originem & faeditatem! ſaith that Father.
