And how improsperous soever we have hitherto been in our Encounters; Though God hath many years knockt us against each other, and so oppos'd us unto our selves, as that we really became no less his Host, than his Enemies; yet like Marcellus in the Historian, Certamen ferociter instauramus, we are as sturdy a sort of Sinners, (many of us,) as if we never yet had smarted for having sin'd. It was Phormio's saying in Thucydides, That conquer'd men are commonly Crest-fallen, and do remit of their courage against a second Encounter, as soon as they have fatally incur'd the first. |
