All mankinde is of one Author, and is one volume; when on Man dies, one Chapter is not torne out of the book, but translated into a better
language; and every chapter must be so translated; God emploies several translators; some peeces are translated by age; some by sickness,
some by warre, some by justice, but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall binde up all our scattered leaves againe, for
that Librarie where every booke shall lie open to one another.
No man is an island intire of itselfe, every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod bee washed away by the Sea,
Europe is lesse, as well as if a promontorie were, as well as if a mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any man's death diminshes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
