    BRETON (NICHOLAS) : FANTASTICKS—continued. Nature is most comforted in the hope of the morning; the body now dyes as dead lump, while sleepe, the pride of ease, lulls the senses of the Sloathfull: the tired Limbs now cease from their labours, and the studious braines give over their businesse, the Bed is now an image of the Grave, and the Prayer of the Faithfull makes the Pathway to Heaven: Lovers now enclose a mutuall content, while gracious minds have no wicked imaginations. Theeves, Wolves, and Foxes, now fall to their pray, but a strong locke and-a good wit, will aware much mischiefe ; and he that trusteth in God will be safe from the Devill. Farewell.
