this book (the contempte of the world) kind of reminds me of g's sayings of doom:

[havalina09]

"Thou shalt finde thy conception to be synne, thy birth miserie, thy lyfe payne, and thy death anguysh and torment. Almightie God to tame and subdue any pride withall hath so ordeyned, that thou sholdest be vexed here in this lyfe with the most vyle and simple creatures of his making, as gnattes, and frogges, and other small vermyne, to the end that thou mightest knowe how much without all reason thou arte proude, when thou art subject to the molestation and offence of small and simple things."
lovely. i guess that explains mosquitos. thanks, god.
