For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut downe, that it will sprout againe, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

Though the roote thereof waxe old in the earth, and the stocke thereof die in the ground:

Yet through the sent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughes like a plant.

But man dyeth, and wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee?

As the waters faile from the sea, and the floud decayeth and dryeth vp:

So man lyeth downe, and riseth not, till the heauens be no more, they shall not awake; nor bee raised out of their sleepe.
