_THE
RULE AND
EXERCISES
OF HOLY
LIVING_
_By Jer. Taylor D:D._
_Non magna loquimur
sed vivimus_
_LONDON printed for R. Royston
in Ivye Lane. 1650._
_Ro: Vaughan sculp._
That is a book you should read: such
sweet religion in it, next to Woolman's,
though the subject be bait, and hooks,
and worms, and fishes.
LAMB
_The
Compleat Angler
or the
Contemplative man's
Recreation_
Being a Discourse of
FISH and FISHING,
Not unworthy the perusal of most _Anglers_.
* * * * *
Simon Peter said, _I go a_ fishing: _and they said, We
also wil go with thee_. John 21. 3.

_London_, Printed by _T. Maxey_ for RICH. MARRIOT, in
S. _Dunstans_ Church-yard Fleetstreet, 1653.
Yet he, consummate master, knew
When to recede and when pursue.
His noble negligences teach
What others' toils despair to reach.
He, perfect dancer, climbs the rope,
And balances your fear and hope;
If, after some distinguished leap,
He drops his pole, and seems to slip,
Straight gathering all his active strength,
He rises higher half his length.
With wonder you approve his slight,
And owe your pleasure to your fright.
