003.B13.076  To adore, or scorne an Image; or protest
003.B13.077  May albee badd; Doubt wisely. In strange waye
003.B13.078  To stand enquiringe right, is not to staye.
003.B13.079  To sleepe, or runn wronge is. On a high hill
003.B13.080  ragged, & steepe, truth dwells. And hee that will
003.B13.081  reach it, aboute must, & about goe,
003.B13.082  and what the hills sodnynes resists; wynn soe
003.B13.083  Yet striue soe, that before age (deathes twilight)
