the longer wee haue liued the lesse we haue to liue Quotidie morimur Senec. lib. 3. epist 24. quotidie enim demitur aliqua pars vitae tunc quoque cum crescimus vita decrescit We dye daily euery day passes away a part of our life and while wee are yet waxing does our life decrease Ibid. Hunc ipsum quem agimus diem cum morte diuidimus This very day that we now liue doe we diuide with death Hieron ad Heliodor in Epitaph Nesoliani Hoc ipsum quod dicto quod scribitur quod relego qnod emendo de vita mea tollitur As by the times of eating sleeping working playing so by the instants of speaking reading writing our liues are lessened Yea brethren this houre these moments of my preaching and your hearing are taken away from both our liues We dye daily our times dye daily our actions dye daily our persons dye daily Our times dye daily the time past is dead to the time present the time present is dying to the time to come yesterday is dead to To-day and To-day is dying to To-morrow Our actions dye daily what is done and past is dead to what is now doing and what is now doing is dying to what hereafter must bee done We neither remember what we haue done nor conceiue what wee haue done nor delight in what wee haue done so daily dye our actions to our memories to our vnderstandings to our affections Our persons dye daily our infancy dyes into childhood our childhood into youth our youth into manhood our manhood into old age and our old age dyes into death A man is in a continuall consumption of himselfe His dayes spend him also as hee spends his dayes Euery day one part or piece oâ— him languisheth or perisheth corrupteth and is cast away Seneca vt supra Non repente in mortem incidimus sed minutatim procedimus We dye by piece-meale and not all at once There is no day in which our spirits vanish not our bloud cooles not our moysture dryes not our stomack fayles not our liuer corrupts not our lungs consume not our bowels yearn not our heart faints not our head akes not euery day either some veine stops some sinew shrinkes or some bone breakes either is some skinne withered some flesh bruised or some member decayed Euery day more then other either the eyes grow dimme of seeing the eares dull of hearing or else the palate vnsauory of tasting Thus dye the parts by little and little and thus is the whole dead at last The Candle still consumes from the time it first beginnes to burne so wade the oyle and marrow of a mans life from the time that he begins to liue Man is a Candle that either consumes himselfe vpon the candlesticke of the world or else sweales away vnder the bushell of his Mothers wombe The houre-glasse runnes continually from the time it is turned Man is an houre-glasse but a running sand or mouing dust And as the sand in the houre-glasse fals corne by corne or mite by mite till the heape bee runne out so a man drops away by little and little till the whole lumpe be done A Traueller goes many dayes onward to his iourneyes end Man is this Traueller this life the way and death the iourneyes end And is it a strange thing to dye when our whole life is but the way to death Sen. ep 78. Tu non putabas te aliquando peruenturum ad id ad quod semper ibas Can we thinke not once to come to what wee alwayes goe to There is no way on earth without an end the intricatest labyrinth hath a way out at last Wee goe towards death continually how should we but meet withall at last Wee dye daily how should wee but once be dead Bern. ser Miser homo quare te omni hora non disponis cogita te iam mortuum quem scis necessitate moriturum Wretched man then who euer thou art seeing thou dyest daily why dost thou not daily dispose thy selfe for death thinke thy selfe now dead whom thou knowest needes must dye Woe to vs wretches all that so many of vs are so neare death and yet put it so farre from vs so neere it in the euent and yet put it so farre from vs in the consideration Death is ready to take vs by the hand in the naturall execution ere wee are willing to take death to heart by a christian meditation Wee goe toward the graue with our faces backward our feet are at poynt to fall into it ere our eyes once looke vpon it We many feele Death before we know Death are brought wofully to hazard or experience it ere we are drawne wisely to consider and conceiue it though we see it dayly in others yet can we not be led to consider it in our selues hereof haue we daily warning Eucher epist Paraen yet will we make it vnawares Nihil ita quotidie homines vt mortem vident nihil ita obliuiscuntur vt mortem Men daily behould nothing more then Death and yet then Death they forget they neglect nothing more But to bring you beloued to the knowledge the consideration remembrance of Death I haue taken this text O Death where is thy sting both to instruct you concerning it as also to incourage you against it Where note first an Appellation secondly an Interrogation an Appellation or Death summoned O Death an Interogation or Death dared Where is thy sting Where I haue 1.
