John Heywood


Of Foreknowledge. The same Impugned without Change, except four or five


Foreknowledge of things that must fall
To man, I think it were not best.
The foreknown ill to man would call
Digestion of foreknown unrest.
By foreknown good, to man were ceast
Distemperate joy, which evermore
Cometh when joys come unknown before.
