To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I. 3.
Were I of Caesar's religion, I should be of his desires, and wish rather to go off at one blow, than to be sawed in pieces by the grating torture of a disease. Men that look no fur- ther than their outsides, think health an appertenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick ; but I, that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabrick hangs, do wonder that we are not always so ; and, con- sidering the thousand doors that lead to de...ath, do thank my God that we can die but once. 'Tis not only the mischief of diseases, and the villainy of poisons that make an end of us; we vainly accuse the fury of guns, and the new inventions of death ; it is in the power of every hand to destroy us, and we are be- holding unto every one we meet he doth not kill us. There is therefore but one comfort left, that though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death. God would not exempt himself from that ; the misery of immortality in the flesh he under- took not, that was in it immortal.
