346 The Peacemaker. [Appendix.
Be thou strong or weak, thou mayest with more ease bear
six on thy right hand, than one on thy left

Pride is a great weight, able to overthrow the strongest
man ; Malice, a ponderous load, turning thy sleeps to unquiet
slumbers, and even there haunting thee in restless dreams ;
Ambition, a mountain itself to sink thee ; Schism, a spirit
and conscience troubler ; Revenge, an impostume of blood,
which broken once, strangles thee with thine own corruption;
Impiety, a cloud and mist of darkness, turning thee from the
way.
