Synopsis
Excerpt from Five Generations of a Loyal House, Vol. 1: Containing the Lives of Richard Bertie, and His Son Peregrine, Lord Willoughby
These passages may appear singularly chosen to head the his torical account of a family through succeeding generations, con demning, as they do, the pride of those who seem to think that what they are permitted to enjoy must necessarily endure for ever, and the vanity of such of their posterity who exult in the boast of their forefathers and yet they are specially 'here selected to express the writer's full conviction of the instability of all temporal possessions. For as to antiquity, a thousand years in the Lord's Sight are but as yesterday. AS to wealth, the rich Shall carry nothing away with him when he dieth, neither shall pomp follow him. And with regard to fame, man being in honour, abideth not.
