LIFE AND DEATH. CCCCXX1 



This was the last of his philosophical publications during 

 his life; but they were only a small portion of his labours, 

 which are thus recorded by Dr. Rawley : &quot; The last five 

 years of his life, being withdrawn from civil affairs and 

 from an active life, he employed wholly in contemplation 

 and studies: a thing whereof his lordship would often 

 speak during his active life, as if he affected to die in the 

 shadow, and not in the light. During this time he com 

 posed the greatest part of his books and writings, both in 

 English and Latin, which I will enumerate, as near as I 

 can, in the just order wherein they were written.
