Psalms49:20
Verſ. 20. Man that is in honour and underſtandeth not] Verſus amabeus. See ver. 12. there is but little difference: Stultitians patiuntur opes. The more a man hath of worldly wealth, and the leſs of Spiritual, and heavenly underſtanding therewith, the more beſtial he is, and ſhall be more miſerable. Caligula called his Father-in-law Marcus Silanus, [non-Latin text not transcribed], a golden brute, Quid cervo ingentia cornua, cum deſit animus?
Vel mihi da clavem, vel mihi telle ſeram.
