But not to triflle about those meerely vaine and Prodigious follies, I come to a more necessary Suruey: namely, what vaine profusion of money and labour hath beene Imploied, first in houses and mansions for the liuing, secondly in tombes for the dead, Thirdly in superfluities about the houses of prayer, fourthly in Monuments of writing. And first touching mansions and dwelling houses for the liuing, no doubt they must and may be built for necessity, for pleasure, for defence, for state and splendour. But the venime of the spider makes a webb of little worth, and the corruption of the builder taints his worke with a touch of vanity. |

And First touching mansions and Dwelling houses for the living, no doubt they must and may be built for necessity, for pleasure, for defence, for state and splendour. But the venom of the spider makes a web of little worth, and the corruption of the builder taints his work with a touch of vanity. |
