rEnus OF PEACE.



Thomas Fuller, the old English divine,
was contemporary Of Milton, and dur
ing the civil wars wrote thus quantity OF
certain attempts in his day 10 cry peace
when there was no peace:
"ILL DONE, uHDoNs."
81 saw one, whether out Of haste or
want Of skill, put up hissword the wrong
way +; it cut even when it was sheathed,
the edge being transposed where the back
should have been; SO that, peroeiving his
error, he was fam to draw it out, that he
might put it up again.
Wearied and wasted with civil war,
we that formerly loathed the mamma of
peace, because common, could now be
content to feed on it, though full OF
worms and putrefed; some SO deslrous
thereof, that they care not on what terms
the war be ended, SO it be ended but
such peace would be but truce, and
the conditions thereof would no longer be
in force than whilst they are in force
Let us pray that the sword be sheathed
the right way other
wise it may justly be suspected that the
sword put up will be drawn out sgain,
and the articles Of an i'll agreement,
though engrossed in parchment, not take
effect SO long as paper would continue.
