It is worthy the observing,that there is no passion in the mind of man so weak,but it mates,and masters,the fear of death:and therefore death is no such terrible enemy,when a man hath so many attendants about him that can win the combat of him.

• 值得注意者，是人心内的各种感情，无论多么薄弱，没有一种是不能克服对死亡的恐怖的；既然一个人身旁有这样多的侍从，都能打败死亡，可见死亡不算是那样可怕的敌人了。
