But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing today an unmistakable confirmation that there is in the country the emergence of a new political culture. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37525]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are seeing today an unmistakable confirmation that there is in the country the emergence of a new political culture.
