 repose, stillness, peace, refreshment, and delight.

If Paradise was planted the Third Day of Creation, as 

 wiser Divinity cotu'ludeth, the Natinty thereof .* too early 

 for Horoncopu ; Gardens were before Gardeners, and but 

 some hours after the Earth. 



SIB THOMAS BROWN K. 



IST CLOWN. Come, my spade. There is no ancient 

 gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers; they
