The
true
difference
betweene
Vertue
,
and
Voluptuousnes
.
THere
be
seauen
Artes
whose
Principles
are
principallye
learned
and
practized
of
voluptuous
liuers
:
the
art
of
dissembling
,
the
Arte
of
blaspheming
:
the
arte
of
deceiuing
:
the
art
of
flattering
:
the
arte
of
disdaining
:
the
arte
of
louing
:
the
arte
of
dicing
:
seuen
heades
of
Hydra
,
seuen
lewde
sisters
,
and
seuen
illiberall
artes
,
not
worthie
the
name
of
artes
,
sith
their
best
professors
are
the
baddest
men
:
&
they
are
so
much
better
in
their
artes
,
by
how
much
they
ar
worse
in
their
maners
:
being
therefore
impudent
,
because
in
vanitie
they
are
arteficial
:
and
therefore
vaine
,
because
in
their
arts
they
are
impudent
.
These
be
not
the
Muses
inuentions
,
because
they
are
conioyned
with
great
dishonestie
,
&
haue
a
ranke
smell
of
a
lothsome
impietie
:
these
be
the
daughters
of
lady
pleasure
,
nestled
in
Pandoras
boxe
,
and
sent●
like
Harpaies
ouer
the
face
of
the
earth
,
to
take
away
from
vs
our
wholsome
foode
,
and
with
their
owne
dunge
to
defile
●ur
trenchers
,
being
throughly
instructed
of
Circe
to
change
men
into
beastes
,
mens
mindes
into
brutish
appetites
,
mens
inuentions
into
foolish
dreames
,
and
the
reason
of
man
into
a
brutish
passion
.
Circe
drinketh
of
these
pottes
to
the
worldlings
,
that
thirst
after
pleasures
:
but
vertue
hath
made
a
wall
of
partition
betwixt
the
pottes
of
Circe
,
&
the
mouthes
of
the
vertuous
:
betwixt
these
Panther-like
odoures
,
and
the
nostrelles
of
her
followers
:
betwixt
these
Cupids
counterfeyting
Ascanius
,
and
the
closette
of
their
mindes
in
whome
vertue
is
resident
.
There
is
greate
difference
betwixt
Apollo
his
Schole
,
&
an
olde
wiues
Cottage
,
betwéen
the
Temple
of
vertue
,
&
the
Theater
of
pleasure
.
Pleasure
hath
sent
abroad
not
long
ago
thr●●
pretious
works
,
and
three
delightful
comments
:
the
court
of
Venus
,
the
Castle
of
fancy
,
&
the
Paradice
of
pleasure
:
books
in
which
,
ther
is
much
wit
,
and
little
vertue
:
whose
ripeness●
heretofore
,
the
frequent
vse
in
former
times
,
did
sufficiently
argue
:
whose
rottennesse
at
this
present
,
is
by
the
vniuersall
loathing
and
surfet
of
those
that
before
were
delighted
with
them
aboundantly
testified
.
This
is
the
property
of
a
voluptuous
minde
,
when
it
is
ful
gorged
with
honny
,
to
cast
it
vp
like
galle
:
&
therefore
it
seemeth
that
pleasures
iunkets
would
not
haue
turned
into
any
good
blood
,
or
wholesome
nourishment
.
Diuers
Poets
haue
written
for
delight
,
but
they
haue
also
written
for
profite
:
but
many
of
their
readers
being
inchanted
by
pleasures
,
haue
from
their
flowers
gathered
poison
like
the
spider
,
not
honny
like
the
Bee
:
whereas
contrariwise
,
the
well
meaning
mindes
haue
of
these
flowers
made
soueraign
preseruatiues
:
let
the
Troyan
history
be
deliuered
to
a
sober
,
wise
,
&
discreet
scholler
,
he
reapes
much
honny
,
much
delight
,
much
commoditie
by
the
reading
thereof
:
if
he
be
examined
what
is
the
sentence
,
substance
,
marrow
,
&
iuce
of
that
history
?
he
wil
answer
wisely
&
sincerely
.
The
story
which
reports
the
Graekish
wa●
gainst
Barbary
,
But
if
the
sence
and
signification
of
that
historie
be
demaunded
of
some
delicate
stripling
,
of
some
Ouidian
Acontius
,
an
intemperate
youngman
,
an
impure
spider
,
Catiline
:
he
wil
answere
boldely
,
briefly
,
&
badly
.
I
am
not
wont
sir
Paris
to
reproue
,
Or
any
man
that
playes
the
man
in
loue
.
Beholde
what
aboundance
of
poyson
,
what
store
of
galle
,
what
dregs
of
filthinesse
this
spider
sucketh
out
of
the
flowers
of
this
historie
,
with
gréedye
&
vnconsecrate
lips
.
First
,
he
gathereth
that
the
loue
of
Paris
was
not
to
bee
reprehended
:
next
,
that
al
they
which
imitate
the
woeing
of
Paris
are
men
:
they
are
men
I
graunt
in
name
,
but
in
nature
,
they
are
lecherous
goates
,
and
rutting
Leopards
:
But
as
Alexander
the
greate
,
did
then
most
of
all
tearme
himselfe
a
God
,
when
he
was
most
estranged
from
God
,
namely
when
hee
was
drunken
:
so
these
Acontij
,
these
s●ctators
of
Paris
,
these
men
doe
then
especially
boast
of
their
manhood
,
when
they
become
most
brutish
:
what
thanks
therefore
,
and
what
sufficient
glorie
can
be
rendred
to
vertue
,
that
preserueth
her
scholers
from
such
pestilent
poysons
,
and
such
froth
of
vices
,
by
godly
admonitions
,
graue
preceptes
,
and
solemne
institutes
?
perswading
them
by
sound
reasons
,
whereof
euery
one
is
as
strong
as
Achilles
,
that
an
history
is
not
as
it
is
taken
of
the
voluptuous
,
the
trumpet
of
Cupid
,
and
the
kalender
of
Venus
:
but
the
library
of
knowledge
,
the
vnsouldresse
of
treacherye
,
the
lanterne
of
pollicy
,
the
doctresse
of
behauiour
,
the
register
of
antiquity
,
the
glasse
of
iustice
:
But
when
the
voluptuous
know
the
bent
of
pleasures
bow
,
her
browe
I
would
say
,
they
are
ready
with
full
saile
,
&
swift
course
to
try
these
waies
that
pleasure
hath
chalked
out
&
prescribed
vnto
them
,
spending
all
their
rents
,
reuenues
&
reuersions
vpon
the
seruantes
of
Bacchus
,
vpon
purpled
Apes
,
painted
beggers
,
counterfaiting
R●scij
Graduates
in
the
Epicures
Schoole
,
horseleeches
of
money
,
the
dogges
of
Verres
,
the
bloodhoundes
of
Fortune
,
which
ransacke
euerie
corner
for
coyne
,
hauing
apte
noses
for
the
smelling
of
Golde
and
Siluer
,
and
when
they
are
instructed
and
lessoned
by
such
hungry
Gnatoes
,
professors
of
all
impudencie
,
and
practisers
of
all
impiety
,
they
are
matriculated
,
and
nursed
in
these
delightes
,
in
which
,
none
are
conuersant
but
Venusses
pullets
and
Neroes
whelps
,
politike
,
delicate
,
gallant
tenderlings
,
which
are
fast
linked
to
plesure
,
and
vse
her
at
their
lust
,
but
they
knowe
not
her
disease
,
they
know
not
her
companion
,
they
knowe
not
her
sauce
.
Her
disease
is
impuritie
,
her
companion
is
penaltie
,
her
sauce
is
sorrow
:
they
may
for
a
while
sing
those
Caroles
that
Penelopes
woers
did
sing
,
wresting
the
sweetnesse
of
their
Cytharne
,
to
the
losse
of
their
time
,
&
their
owne
disprofite
:
as
Horace
reporteth
of
certaine
young
men
which
were
wonte
to
sléepe
till
midday
,
and
Ad
strepitum
cytharae
cessatum
ducere
curam
.
By
sound
of
harpe
,
to
bring
their
cares
to
rest
.
But
this
dittye
will
be
closed
vppe
with
a
dumpe
.
Nocet

The

is

Muses
:
but
the
pipe
of
Leucosia
is
to
bee
debarred
from
our
eares
,
because
the
piper
is
a
Syren
:
the
harpe
of
Achilles
sounded
with
grauity
,
and
was
a
kinde
of
motiue
to
the
warlike
courage
:
but
on
the
effeminate
harpe
of
Paris
,
nothing
was
played
but
amatorious
sonnets
,
and
ridiculous
Iigges
.
Poetrie
in
former
times
made
a
progresse
through
the
worlde
,
being
desirous
to
heare
the
soundes
of
the
Instrumentes
,
that
in
those
dayes
were
vsed
,
and
beeing
accompaned
with
the
nine
Muses
,
she
listned
to
their
melodye
,
shee
hearde
Pan
puffing
on
a
reed
:
the
Arcadians
creaking
with
whistles
:
Triton
roring
with
a
shell
,
in
steede
of
a
trumpette
:
the
shepheardes
of
Scithia
,
winding
an
oaten
strawe
:
she
heard
the
Coribants
tinckling
on
their
brasen
Basons
:
shee
hearde
the
Moenades
shouting
in
the
aire
with
a
clamarous
bellowing
:
Poetrie
partlye
taking
pittie
,
&
partlye
being
ashamed
of
this
deformed
and
barbarous
musike
,
gaue
to
mankinde
,
for
the
pipe
of
Pan
,
the
histories
of
Clio
:
for
the
whistles
of
the
Arcadians
,
the
tragedies
of
Melpomene
:
for
Tritons
shel
,
the
Commedies
of
Thalia
:
for
the
shepheards
oaten
strawe
,
the
pipe
of
Euterpe
:
for
the
brasse
of
the
Coribants
,
the
harp
of
Therpsicore
:
for
the
howling
of
the
Moenades
,
the
verses
of
Calliope
:
which
she
did
not
bestowe
in
consideration
of
the
Epicures
fansie
,
neither
to
inchaunt
the
mindes
of
lasciuious
persons
with
a
senceles
securitie
,
neither
did
she
make
them
the
idle
mans
Ephemerides
,
whereby
he
might
deceiue
the
long
&
irksome
time
,
the
redemption
of
which
,
cannot
by
any
value
bee
procured
.
Nulla
coelum
reparabile
gazâ
.
No
golde
can
time
reuerse
.
The
losse
of
which
,
if
it
were
throughly
considered
,
would
make
vs
loath
our
stale
musike
in
comparison
of
the
sweet
sounding
melodie
of
time
:
which
is
the
reporter
of
things
most
desired
,
the
Corner
of
trueth
,
whose
descant
,
though
it
be
somwhat
crabbed
,
yet
,
that
to
which
we
apply
our
attendance
,
we
wish
shoulde
rather
be
true
,
then
forged
:
rather
a
matter
of
certainty
,
then
a
flying
fable
.
But
the
secure
&
voluptuous
Epicure
careth
not
for
this
aduantage
of
time
,
so
he
may
rest
himselfe
in
his
Ladies
lappe
,
and
haue
his
eares
throughly
tickled
with
a
musicall
concordance
:
he
is
content
that
the
circle
of
the
Sun
should
be
rouled
backward
&
forward
,
so
that
he
continue
still
in
iolitie
,
without
anye
interruption
of
his
pleasures
:
Scilicet
hoc
est
viuere
:
but
when
the
date
of
his
time
is
almost
expired
,
&
arriued
at
the
point
,
from
which
it
took
the
beginning
,
then
he
standeth
bouud
before
the
tribunall
seat
of
time
,
and
he
thus
accuseth
him
:
vnfruitfull
sluggard
didst
thou
wake
or
sleep
all
thy
life
time
?
If
thou
didst
wake
,
what
worke
haste
thou
left
behinde
thée
either
visible
to
the
eie
or
memorable
to
the
minde
?
where
be
the
monuments
of
thy
labours
?
wher
be
the
gaines
of
thy
trauailes
?
where
are
the
fruites
of
thy
life
?
If
thou
didst
sleep
,
and
thy
actions
were
only
a
dream
,
that
dreame
was
a
passion
but
of
action
:
thou
hast
not
a
print
to
shewe
,
but
that
thou
mayest
sée
the
bounty
and
riches
of
time
:
awake
out
of
thy
sléepe
,
wash
thine
eies
,
and
thou
shalte
clearelye
beholde
what
opportunities
haue
escaped
thee
.
Thou
seest
on
thy
right
hand
,
the
fieldes
into
the
which
thou
didst
wander
sometime
,
but
I
alway
presuppose
as
in
a
dreame
:
thou
didst
there
onely
suruay
the
colours
of
flowers
,
thinking
perhaps
of
the
transmutation
of
them
into
flowers
,
whom
the
panges
of
loue
did
consume
:
thou
didst
rest
on
the
gréene
grasse
as
on
a
cushion
,
hauing
a
minde
so
dead
and
destitute
of
the
intellectuall
facultie
,
that
thou
didst
hide
and
burie
thy selfe
vnder
the
shadowes
of
trées
:
not
knowing
that
the
gréene
Liceum
was
the
Schole
of
the
Peripatetikes
,
and
Vmbrifera
Academia
,
the
Schoole
of
the
Academikes
:
but
thou
,
wishing
that
all
thy
body
were
changed
into
an
eye
,
like
Argus
,
that
thou
mightest
all
thy
lyfe
time
,
haue
nothing
els
but
coloures
in
veiwe
,
or
els
wishing
that
all
thy
bodye
were
made
a
nose
,
as
Catullus
desired
,
that
thou
mightest
spende●
all
thie
daies
in
smelling
to
the
fragrant
flowers
,
and
perfuming
hearbes
,
didst
make
a
pause
in
these
fancies
:
if
thou
haddest
bended
thine
eies
but
a
litle
from
these
these
things
,
thou
mightest
haue
espied
the
seely
Ant
or
Pismire
,
of
wich
thou
mightest
haue
learned
to
haue
taken
paines
,
to
haue
liued
by
thy
pains
,
to
haue
reioyced
after
thy
paines
:
to
haue
taken
paines
by
seeing
them
martch
in
the
pathway
to
the
fieldes
for
their
sustenance
,
carrying
their
burthens
on
their
shoulders
,
hastning
&
returning
with
great
spéed
,
notwithstanding
the
great
waight
:
to
haue
liued
by
thy
paines
,
by
séeing
them
to
be
so
carefull
of
the
nipping
winter
,
hurding
vp
the
corne
in
the
graniers
,
piling
it
in
the
barnes
,
cutting
it
into
partes
,
that
it
maynot
grow
:
to
haue
reioiced
after
thy
paines
,
in
that
thou
hast
preuented
the
sharpnes
of
hunger
and
in
that
thou
hast
sufficient
to
satisfie
natures
demand
:
but
look
what
shineth
ouer
thy
head
,
the
glistering
heauen
,
the
starrie
firmament
,
which
thou
didst
gather
to
be
nothing
els
then
the
candlesticke
of
the
world
,
made
to
none
other
end
,
then
to
giue
light
,
&
to
discouer
the
dennes
of
Moldwarpes
in
the
earth
:
not
considering
that
by
the
accesse
,
&
departure
of
the
Sun
,
things
increase
and
decrease
:
that
by
the
waine
and
full
of
the
Moone
,
the
Sea
ebs
and
flowes
:
that
by
the
particular
influence
of
particular
Starres
,
such
and
such
alterations
are
framed
in
the
earth
:
the
diuers
motions
and
effectes
of
those
causes
,
might
haue
led
thée
by
the
hand
,
to
the
first
mouer
,
in
whose
ample
gouernment
of
all
things
,
thou
mightest
haue
hadde
a
bottomlesse
consideration
of
pearelesse
value
,
that
would
hane
stirred
vp
an
admiration
in
thy
minde
,
admiration
would
haue
caused
inquisition
,
&
inquisition
would
haue
engendred
knowledge
:
which
wold
haue
bene
a
great
ornament
vnto
thée
,
and
a
great
●urtherance
to
further
matters
:
but
now
that
thou
art
ignoraunt
,
blame
not
me
,
wrich
haue
often
giuen
thée
warning
to
call
thy
wittes
together
:
When
thou
wast
tending
from
youth
to
manhoode
,
●
drewe
lines
in
thy
visage
,
which
signified
,
that
thy
life
did
waste
:
and
by
them
I
writ
vpon
thy
face
,
the
seconde
age
:
when
,
from
manhood
thou
wast
twining
to
old
age
,
thy
den●s
and
riueled
chéeks
,
thy
toothlesse
chaps
,
thy
white
and
hoary
heares
▪
I
sent
as
messengers
vnto
thee
,
wherby
I
foreshewed
the
third
age
,
that
was
approching
:
now
therefore
,
blush
at
thine
owne
sluggishnesse
,
be
ashamed
of
thy
lingring
,
and
sith
there
be
no
signes
or
lineaments
,
of
former
knowledge
in
thee
,
I
propose
thy
dotage
as
a
spectakle
to
be
laughed
at
.
This
sharpe
reprehension
may
perhappes
,
leaue
prickles
in
the
mindes
of
sluggards
,
but
the
remorse
quickly
vanisheth
.

not
feare
his
fall
,
til
the
greatest
part
of
his
wings
be
melted
,
and
his
bodie
do
kisse
the
face
of
the
water
:
but
of
all
the
knowledge
that
ouerpasse
them
,
the
misticall
knowledge
of
their
saluation
being
hidden
from
their
eies
,
&
debarred
from
their
hartes
:
is
with
a
whole
Ocean
of
teares
to
bee
lamented
,
if
out
of
a
Flinte
any
water
may
be
wrested
.
It
may
be
comprehended
in
two
lines
,
and
yet
the
fleshlie
Epicure
could
not
afforde
halfe
an
howers
study
to
the
repetition
and
rehearsal
of
it
in
his
minde
,
Troy
:
who
pleased
the
Troyans
but
to
theire
miserye
:
whoe
soung
delightfully
,
but
was
too
delightfully
hard
:
for
the
honny
of
words
,
is
a
poison
to
the
heart
:
&
a
swéet
sound
in
the
a●re
,
is
a
Siren
in
the
eare
:
Thus
it
is
euident
that
the
study
or
exercise
wherunto
voluptutuous
&
effeminate
persons
,
do
wholy
addict
themselues
,
is
nothing
els
but
the
whetstone
of
vanity
,
the
mistres
of
misdemenour
,
&
cossin
germane
to
idlenes
.
Nowe
it
remaineth
to
be
discussed
,
what
other
abuses
they
haue
in
the
common
course
of
their
life
.
Romanes
:
the
Romanes
(
saith
he
)
to
satisfye
their
bellies
,
sought
out
al
thinges
that
could
be
found
either
in
sea
,
or
on
the
earth
:
they
did
not
tarry
til
hunger
or
thirst
ouertook
them
,
but
they
did
preuent
these
by
an
arteficial
appetite
:
before
the
diluge
,
the
onely
treasure
on
the
earth
was
wine
,
the
people
did
eate
and
drinke
,
maried
&
gaue
in
mariage
,
rise
vp
to
play
,
and
vsed
all
kinde
of
dalliance
euen
vntill
the
daye
wherein
the
windowes
of
Heauen
were
opened
vpon
them
,
till
the
waters
had
oueflowed
and
disfigured
the
earth
,
that
the
very
shard
of
a
drinking
cuppe
could
not
be
séene
in
the
worlde
:
It
is
a
verye
vnnaturall
thing
that
the
belly
béeing
made
by
nature
,
a
place
of
excrements
,
shoulde
bee
made
an
Idol
:
but
it
is
a
greater
shame
that
the
Idoll
of
the
beastlie
Cyclops
shoulde
be
made
a
God
to
Christians
,
which
the
true
GOD
will
at
the
length
confounde
,
together
with
all
them
also
that
make
it
a
God
.
It
is
straunge
to
sée
the
appetite
of
man
:
that
whereas
beasts
are
contented
with
that
food
which
nature
hath
appointed
for
them
,
and
take
no
more
thereof
,
then
that
quantity
which
nature
hath
alotted
vnto
them
:
man
should
so
far
surpasse
the
limits
of
reason
,
and
reuerence
due
to
nature
:
that
with
an
vnsatiable
desire
he
followeth
those
things
,
which
are
discommodious
,
pernitious
,
and
pestilent
vnto
him
.
And
although
in
the
kinde
of
beasts
,
the
Lion
is
most
i●cōtinent
,
most
rauenous
,
and
gréedy
of
his
pray
:
and
be
●ide
this
,
Mirianis
,
who
though
she
were
of
singular
behauiour
amongst
the
Iewes
,
yet
could
not
abstain
from
gnawing
the
bones
of
her
owne
childe
:
and
man
to
augment
the
gréedy
worm
whereof
he
is
possessed
,
doth
inuent
and
vse
daily
,
sauces
,
sirupes
,
brothes
,
mixtures
:
that
may
pricke
his
stomacke
forwarde
,
to
craue
more
then
it
may
well
containe
,
Corpus

Hesternis

,

quòque

.
The
bodie
stuft
with
hosterne
cates
,
doth
ouercharge
the
minde
.
Our
trenchers
are
to
be
washed
with
our
teares
,
our
tables
whereat
we
sitte
drinking
,
beluing
,
and
carousing
,
are
to
be
accounted
engines
and
snares
,
laid
by
the
deuils
subtiltie
,
to
intrap
our
soules
:
our
costly
viandes
are
to
be
accompted
the
lures
of
gluttonie
:
our
musicall
and
swéete
sounding
instruments
which
are
prepared
to
make
the
minde
more
cheerfull
and
frollicke
:
are
no
better
to
bee
esteemed
then
alluring
Sirens
,
which
eate
them
whom
they
delight
,
and
kill
them
with
their
téeth
,
whom
they
haue
called
with
their
tongues
.
It
were
infinite
to
number
the
greate
mishappe
that
hath
chaunced
,
&
the
outragious
crueltie
that
hath
bin
committed
,
after
that
the
minde
hath
bene
ouercast
with
the
miste
or
exhalation
that
riseth
from
the
stomacke
surcharged
with
delicates
.
The
Cittie
of
the
Troyans
was
drowned
in
wine
,
before
it
was
burnt
by
fire
:
Hierusalem
was
ouerflowen
of
gluttonie
and
drunkennesse
,
before
it
was
ouerrun
of
the
Romanes
and
Turkes
:
the
Aegiptians
were
not
so
much
ouercom'd
by
armed
men
,
Cleopatra
:
Catiline
did
besiege
Rome
with
a
troope
of
pleas●res
,
before
he
did
threaten
it
with
an
army
of
souldiers
:
Dido
was
first
inchanted
of
Liber
Pater
,
before
she
was
bewitched
of
the
boy
Cupid
:
Nero
was
filled
with
the
wines
of
Campania
before
he
was
poysoned
with
the
counsail
of
Anicetus
,
&
ther
was
in
his
stomack
a
flood
of
Nectar
,
before
ther
was
Furor
in
mente
or
Ferrum
in
manu
:
the
principal
cause
why
the
Persians
were
enemies
to
the
Lidians
,
was
because
of
the
good
cheere
that
they
found
iu
Lidia
.
tanquam
coelum
in
coeno
.
Like
an
heauen
in
a
dunghill
.
It
is
so
nigh
the
bankes
and
borders
of
this
earthly
Tabernacle
:
nay
,
it
is
so
inclosed
within
the
walles
&
gates
thereof
that
it
must
of
necessitie
be
defiled
with
the
dust
that
ariseth
within
the
walles
:
but
to
finde
out
the
reason
I
will
vse
a
very
briese
discourse
,
which
notwithstanding
,
shall
carrye
some
taste
of
Philosophie
.
There
be
some
thinges
that
belong
to
the
soule
alone
,
as
reason
,
meditation
,
reminiscence
:
some
thinges
to
the
bodie
alone
,
as
heauinesse
,
augmentation
,
diminution
,
and
that
strength
which
the
Latines
call
Robur
,
the
Graecians
Ischus
One
thinge
there
is
which
is
common
both
to
the
soule
and
the
body
,
and
that
is
,
Appetitus
or
vis
concupiscentiae
,
The
appetite
or
force
of
concupiscence
which
being
an
ambidexter
or
parasite
both
to
the
soule
&
body
,
inueagleth
the
soule
by
the
senses
of
the
body
,
&
deceiueth
the
body
by
the
liking
of
the
soule
:
for
,
when
the
minde
hath
made
the
maior
proposition
of
the
sillogisme
:
Whatsoeuer
is
pleasant
and
sweet
,
is
to
be
liked
of
:
the
bodie
by
the
force
&
vertue
of
the
senses
,
maketh
the
minor
proposition
:
(
Dainty
cheare
is
pleasant
and
sweet
,
)
the
appetite
doth
straightway
conclude
:
Ergo
,
Dainty
cheare
is
to
be
liked
off
.
the
natural
&
carnal
man
,
hauing
learned
this
lesson
,
triumpheth
in
his
own
conceit
,
&
is
both
waies
bent
,
either
to
confute
the
Stoicke
,
or
defend
the
Epicure
.
but
the
modest
&
wel
iudging
mind
,
can
make
a
distinction
of
pleasant
thinges
,
as
also
of
pleasure
:
there
is
a
pleasure
that
is
,
Dulcis
&
decocta
,
Sweet
and
liquid
,
which
melteth
as
soone
as
it
féeleth
the
heat
of
the
mouth
,
&
is
digested
as
soone
as
it
is
deuoured
:
so
that
being
not
able
to
abide
the
stamp
of
the
téeth
,
it
is
rather
to
be
accounted
superfluous
drosse
,
than
substantial
mettel
.
Ther
is
another
plesure
:
that
is
,
Austera
&
solida
,
Sincere
and
sound
:
which
though
it
be
not
as
pleasant
as
spice
,
yet
it
is
as
necessary
as
salte
,
&
though
it
do
not
slide
through
the
bodye
as
through
a
conduite
,
yet
it
descendeth
into
the
minde
as
the
euening
shower
into
the
caues
of
the
earth
:
the
true
pleasure
is
neither
painted
with
colours
,
nor
blanched
with
cookery
,
neither
sod
in
a
pot
,
nor
roasted
on
a
spit
,
but
the
dew
thereof
droppeth
from
heauen
,
&
the
fruitefull
effectes
thereof
are
euident
to
the
view
of
euery
Christian
cogitation
.
Now
that
we
haue
shewed
the
reason
of
this
Simpathy
:
it
remaineth
that
some
examples
be
sent
for
to
illustrate
this
treatise
:
to
know
therefore
,
that
the
diet
of
the
body
doth
leaue
some
colour
,
&
impression
in
the
minde
,
consider
the
diet
and
disposition
of
the
Gothes
,
&
Tartarians
,
who
because
they
are
●ed
with
mans
bloode
,
&
drink
the
gore
of
their
ancestors
,
in
the
skuls
of
their
ancestors
:
are
therfore
cruell
,
vnmercifull
,
&
sauage
:
thirsting
after
mans
bloode
,
and
sucking
at
the
skin
for
blood
,
as
the
childe
at
his
mothers
dugs
for
milke
.
The
Parthians
that
licke
water
like
dogges
,
are
couragious
in
warfare
,
&
no
whit
effeminate
:
the
Turkes
measuring
,
&
deuiding
their
commons
by
waight
and
ballance
,
haue
their
wit
and
magnanimitye
fresh
against
the
furie
of
the
enemies
▪
but
the
Indians
because
they
are
continually
nourished
with
spires
,
which
kind
of
nourishment
▪
is
verie
slender
:
therfore
they
are
melsh
hearted
,
fearful
,
&
fugitiue
,
to
whom
I
may
rightly
compare
the
men
of
Saba
,
which
countrey
is
very
fruitful
of
sumptuous
delicates
,
but
very
barren
of
good
souldiers
:
like
vnto
these
are
the
Agrigutini
,
whose
mindes
,
whether
prosperity
flatter
,
or
aduersity
threaten
,
are
continually
in
Patinis
:
the
ancient
Britons
are
reported
to
haue
bin
very
valiant
&
victorio●s
,
Look
not
vpon
wine
(
saith
he
)
when
it
glittereth
and
the
colour
therof
shineth
in
a
glasse
:
it
goeth
in
with
delight
,
but
in
the
end
it
wil
bite
like
a
snake
,
&
like
the●cockatrice
it
wil
sprinkle
poison
Thus
far
of
glottony
:
but
how
doth
Venery
follow
,
Thine
eies
(
saith
Solomon
)
shal
behold
strange
women
,
and
thy
heart
shall
vtter
peruerse
things
,
thou
shalt
be
like
one
that
sleepeth
in
the
midst
of
the
sea
,
and
like
a
sleepie
gouernour
hauing
lost
the
healme
.
Sith
therfore
by
the
iudgement
of
this
King
,
whose
minde
was
ful
fraught
with
wisedome
:
these
two
instruments
,
made
of
the
deuil
to
seduce
men
from
good
behauiour
to
E●icurisme
,
are
linked
&
conioyned
.
Mise●able
is
the
state
of
these
,
that
make
pleasure
the
mother
of
these
two

their

,
〈◊〉
think
no

happy
,
vnlesse
it
be
swéet●ed
with
the
sugured
iuice
of
a
carnal
dele●ation
,
the

for

in
the
center
of

,
&
care
not
how
brutish
they
become
,
●o
they
be
not
couered
with
the
hides
&

of
beasts
:
but
let

Christe
(
which
ought
to
be
the
principal
profession
of
christians
)
make
a
couenant
with
his
eies
&
eares
from
beholding
&
hearing
of
vanity
:
when
the
epicures
banquet
is
as
bitter
to
our
tast
as
gall
,
&
the
swéet
sauour
of
fragrant
pouders
as
lothsome
as
the
hēlock
,
then
is
an
arriual
made
at
the
hauen
of
christian
security
,
them
are
we
entred
into
the
straight
way
which
is
indéed
a
large
field
of
happinesse
.
But
yet
when
we
haue
attayned
this
many
incumbrances
wil
be
apposed
against
our
quietnes
,
and
the
better
our
stats
is
,
the
more
is
the
deuils
enuy
and
hatred
:
but
this
must
not
discomfort
vs
.
None
can
climbe
to
the
toppe
of
heauen
without
sweating
:
&
God
(
as
Plato
sayth
)
selleth
his
benefits
for
labour
and
trauaile
.
Wée
must
consider
that
the
worlde
will
neuer
cease
to
be
deceitfull
,
the
deuill
neuer
to
be
malitious
,
and
the
flesh
wil
neuer
intermit
his
combat
&
conflicte
with
the
spirit
,
as
long
as
we
are
in
this
painfull
pilgrimage
.
We
must
suffer
the
blustering
tempest
of
aduersitie
,
the
sharpe
edge
of
temptation
,
and
the
fiery
dartes
of
the
deuil
,
we
fight
against
powers
and
principalities
,
and
therfore
may
be
wounded
,
if
not
ouercome
.
Our
affections
may
become
perfidious
vnto
vs
,
betraying
vs
to
our
enemies
,
and
therefore
being
in
daunger
both
of
forraine
and
of
domesticall
foes
:
we
had
néed
to
be
very
vigilant
&
circumspect
,
least
conspiracy
accoōplish
that
,
which
violence
could
not
bring
to

When
a
Christian
is
besieged
with
temptation
,
The
Souldier
when
he
hath
tasted
the
bitter
fruites
of
warfare
,
when
he
hath
worne
his
bodie
,
altered
hys

diminished
his
health
,
lost
some
principall
member
of
hys

howe
large
soeuer

stipend

,
yet
he
is
like
a
dead
Truncke
that
hath
lost
the
brauerie
of
his
boughes
.
In
séeking
the
fauour
of
noble
men
,
in
getting
and
reteyning
the
frendship
of
equalles
,
in
the

in

into

,
in

in

is
such
an
infinite
labour

a

of

,
that
he
which

in

bothe

in

,
shall
lyke

Al●umist

out

Therefore
let
him
that
mindeth
to
be
a
true
Christian
,
despise
these
transitory
,
corruptible
and
contemptible
things
,
for

Let

behold
the
brightnes
of
the
diuine
Maiestie
.
Nowe
if
the
worldly
felicitie
could
be
attained
without
labour
,
as
it
were
in
a
traunce
,
&
as
if
we
should
let
it
in
at
a
windowe
:
or
if
Fortune
would
throw
into
our
nets
our selues
sléeping
,
as
shee
is
fayned
to
haue
dealt
with
her
loue
Polycrates
,
then
there
might
be
a
kinde
of
reason
framed
by
our
fancye
,
and
it
might
perhappes
bee
beléeued
with
an
vncircumcised
credulity
,
that
it
were
a
great
deale
better
to
serue
the
world
then
God
:
but
if
there
be
more
wearines
in
walking
,
as
a
worldling
,
them
labouring
as
a
Christian
,
if
to
be
choaked
and
strangled
with
the
cares
of
this
world
,
be
an
infinite
torment
:
if
to
sée
the
conscience
besieged
with
an
hundred
hels
,
and
to
feele
the
racking
and
renting
thereof
,
as
it
were
with
a
thousande
fleshhookes
,
be
an
intollerable
griefe
,
then
happie
and
thrise
happy
is
the
mortified
Christian
that
is
satisfied
with
the
swéete
content
of
a
meane
estate
,
and
the
moderate
portion
that
God
hath
allotted
him
.
If
we
be
no
where
lesse
troubled
then
in
the
wayes
of
God
,
and
no
where
more
wearied
then
in
the
way
of
sinners
,
as
that
voice
of
damned
persons
beareth
witnes
:
Lassati
sumus
in
via
iniquitatis
,
we
were
wearied
in
the
way
of
wickednes
:
is
it
not
an
extreame
madnes
,
rather
to
bestow
our
labours
,
landes
and
life
vppon
those
thinges
from
which
wee
must
very
shortly
depart
,
not
into
a
newe
Paradise
,
but
into
an
eternall
dungeon
,
where
there
is
continuall
g●ashing
of
teeth
,
and
the
worme
neuer
dieth
,
then
to
consecrate
our
liues
and
liuinges
vnto
the
Lorde
,
and
for
his
sake
to
abide
the
vttermost
brunt
of
tribulation
,
when
for
our
paines
wee
shall
haue
a
surpassing
reward
:
for
the
honour
that
wee
héere
loste
,
an
vnchaungeable
honour
,
for
the
pleasure
that
héere
we
forsake
,
an
inestimable
felicitie
?
besides
all
this
,
what
a
singuler
peace
,
and
what
a
delicate
banquet
is
a
good
conscience
,
not
wexing
pale
with
villanous
cogitations
,
which
is
better
then
all
the
Epicures
delights
,
then
all
transitory
pleasures
,
then
all
curious
&
exquisite
inticements
,
wherwith
the
iugling
worlde
doth
sophistically
delude
vs
.
What
pleasure
can
there
bee
in
the
riches
of
this
worlde
,
which
before
they
are
purchased
,
doo
weary
vs
,
when
they
are
possessed
,
doo
infatuate
vs
,
and
when
they
are
loste
,
doo
excruciate
vs
.
Without
question
,
the
soules
of
the
wicked
are
tossed
hether
and
thether
,
with
perpetual
cares
,
with
moste
intricate
perplexities
,
and
griefes
innumerable
.
Thys
the
Lorde
hath
affirmed
,
who
as
he
cannot
deceiue
,
so
he
cannot
be
deceiued
,
Cor
impii
quasi
mare
feruens
,
the
hart
of
a
wicked
man
is
like
a
raging
Sea
,
that
can
take
no
rest
:
Nothing
is
quiet
vnto
them
,
nothing
peaceable
,
the
trenchers
wheron
t●ey
cutte
theyr
meate
with
trembling
handes
can
beare
witnesse
,
the
meate
that
stayeth
in●theyr
chaps
whilst
they
are
thinking
mischiefe
,
can
beare
witnes
,
their
slow
&
imperfit
digestion
may
beare
witnes
:
the
leanes
,
palenes
,
and
wannes
of
their
chéekes
may
beare
witnes
.
They
are
affraid
of
all
things
,
suspect
all
things
,
and
euerye
thing
is
a
messenger
of
death
vnto
them
.
Who
would
therefore
aemulate
them
,
or
immitate
theyr
manners
.
Who
hauing
forgotten
theyr
dignitie
,
their
heroycal
nature
,
and
theyr
heauenly
Monarche
,
béeing
made
frée
men
are
become
bondslaues
to
the
worlde
,
lyuing
miserably
,
dying
more
miserably
,
and
most
miserably
like
to
be
afflicted
wyth
eternall
flames
.
There
is
none
,
but
he
seeth
these
things
,
as
cleerely
as
hee
beholdeth
the
Meridian
Sunne
:
but
there
is
not
one
amongst
a
thousande
that
doth
these
thinges
,
which
he
knoweth
are
to
be
practised
,
but
we
cleaue
as
yet
to
the
durt
,
wallow
in
the
myre
,
and
though
the
loathsome
satietie
of
pleasures
doo
breede
a
surfeit
vnto
vs
,
yet
cure
we
the
poyson
of
pleasures
with
the
hemlocke
of
obstinacie
,
and
though
our
myndes
doo
sometime
reclayme
vs
from
such
vanities
,
or
rather
impieties
,
yet
such
cogitations
are
soone
extinet
.
We
assigne
the
regiment
of
our
mindes
to
a
foolish
Phaeton
,
namely
to
the
secure
sensualitye
of
an
appetite
charmed
with
pleasures
.
Let
a
Christian
man
consider
,
what
a
daungerous
thing
it
is
,
to
liue
amongst
them
day
and
night
,
whose
life
is
not
onely
an
inticement
to
sin
,
a
wicked
May-game
and
a
moste
pernitious
example
,
but
doth
wyth
al
endeuour
,
bende
it selfe
to
the
ouerthrowe
of
vertue
,
vnder
the
Emperour
Beliall
,
vnder
the
standerde
of
death
,
and
vnder
the
stipende
of
hel
,
wageing
battail
against
heauen
,
against
the
Lord
and
against
his
annoynted
.
These
are
they
whom
God
hath
deliuered
into
passions
of
ignominie
,
into
a
reprobate
sence
,
to
doo
those
thinges
which
are
vndecent
,
It
is
harder
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
then
it
is
for
a
Cammell
to
passe
through
a
needles
eye
,
why
doo
wee
so
gape
for
rytches
,
why
doo
wee
dedicate
all
our
labour
to
vniust
Mammon
,
making
golde
our
patron
and
protector
,
as
though
life
&
death
were
in
the
vaynes
of
that
vile
mettall
:
but
here
some
professors
of
cauills
wyll
take
thys
exception
.
Ryches
are
in
the
number
of
good
thinges
,
and
are
the
blessinges
of
God
,
and
therfore
there
can
bee
no
excesse
of
them
,
because
there
is
no
excesse
of
a
good
thing
.
Thys
reason
because
it
is
so
well
pytcht
on
the
heads
of
worldly
cormorants
,
that
they
take
it
for
a
helmet
,
must
be
wyth
great
consideration
confuted
.
Ryches
I
graunt
are
the
blessynges
of
God
,
and
a
cleare
light
of
his
fauourable
countenance
,
neyther
is
there
any
excesse
in
the
Lordes
bestowing
,
who
dealeth
vnto
euery
one
according
to
weight
and
measure
:
but
the
excesse
of
riches
procéedeth
from
the
outragious
appetite
of
man
,
as
the
heathens
dyd
prefigure
by
the
couetous
desire
of
Midas
:
by
the
infinite
desire
of
Alexander
Magnus
,
who
imagined
a
pluralitie
of
worldes
,
for
the
better
instructing
of
whom
I
am
of
opinion
that
Aristotle
did
especially
wryte
hys
first
Booke
de
caelo
.
It
is
(
I
say
)
of
the
inordinate
appetite
of
man
,
which
because
it
is
excessiue
,
it
must
of
force
prosecute
an
excesse
of
riches
.
And
thus
it
may
be
prooued
,
that
it
hath
such
an
obiecte
to
worke
vpon
.
Euery
thing
when
it
hath
gotten
a
sufficient
and
proper
matter
to
worke
vppon
,
employeth
his
force
to
that
thing
onely
,
as
hauing
a
taske
prescribed
to
it
of
nature
.
Therefore
if
ryches
were
the
proper
obiect
and
matter
of
worldly
desire
,
then
hauing
gotten
the
wealth
that
it
firste
desired
,
and
fully
proposed
,
as
a
contentation
til
the
end
of
lyfe
,
it
would
rest
in
that
as
in
an
hauen
&
be
contented
with
that
only
was
sought
for
contentation
:
but
we
see
the
contrary
,
for
it
flyeth
from
sufficiencie
to
superfluity
,
in
such
fugitiue
maner
,
that
it
séemeth
nothing
wyll
satisfy
it
,
but
excesse
of
ryches
,
and
to
that
(
indéede
)
al
the
cogitations
of
the
couetous
are
bended
,
euer
labouringe
,
longing
and
compassing
,
till
they
haue
aspired
to
an
excessiue
substaunce
:
Ouermatching
him
whom
the
Romaines
thought
matchles
in
hys
kind
,
the
wealthy
M.
Crassus
.
Much
like
to
these
rauening
affections
were
the
chaungeable
imaginations
of
the
Heathens
,
who
placed
at
first
in
theyr
Olympus
but
a
fewe
Gods
,
yet
when
they
wext
so
haughtie
that
euery
one
would
haue
a
God
,
for
himselfe
,
and
himselfe
a
God
,
theyr
heauen
wext
so
full
of
hée
Gods
and
she
Gods
,
that
as
Iuuenall
saith
,
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
the
ryches
,
wherewith
God
aduaunced
Iob
,
were
very
singular
,
and
the
rare
blessinges
of
the
Almighty
,
but
the
deuill
that
erronious
Serpent
,
vsed
them
as
a
bayte
and
snare
to
intrappe
the
soule
of
Iob.
For
he
imagining
that
his
ryches
,
had
lulled
him
in
securitie
,
and
intangled
his
conscience
,
thought
that
the
spoyle
of
Iob
hys
ryches
,
woulde
haue
béene
the
sacking
of
the
soule
.
So
riches
were
an
instrument
of
abuse
to
the
father
of
lyes
.
And
though
the
patrimony
of
Naboth
,
were
the
ordinary
meane
of
God
to
serue
the
vse
of
Naboth
,
yet
the
same
was
an
instrument
of
abuse
to
the
deuill
against
the
soule
of
Achab.
So
likewyse
riches
were
vsed
of
God
for
the
allurement
of
Nabuchadnozer
,
to
the
acknowledging
of
of
his
mercies
,
but
the
deuill
wrought
in
him
a
discontented
desire
,
&
brought
him
to
this
absurditie
,
that
hee
thought
Babilon
was
a
Heauen
,
and
himselfe
a
God
.
There
is
nothing
in
the
worlde
so
precious
,
but
it
may
be
abused
,
as
a
glystering
Pearle
,
may
bee
placed
in
a
Swines
snoute
:
the
abuse
of
ryches
,
is
the
excesse
of
riches
in
mans
minde
,
which
because
it
is
an
abuse
,
it
must
not
be
vsed
,
and
because
it
is
an
excesse
,
it
must
not
be
coueted
,
least
swelling
with
Esops
Frogge
,
to
become
as
byg
as
a
Bull
,
we
burst
at
length
with
desire
,
and
vanish
into
nothing
.
The
like
may
be
spoken
touching
the
abuse
of
honours
.
It
is
no
doubt
,
but
they
are
the
Ensignes
of
Iustice
,
and
the
honourable
rewardes
of
vertue
,
but
yet
we
sée
how
by
ambition
they
haue
béene
abused
,
and
how
by
corriuall
passions
of
mightie
menne
,
common
.
Weales
haue
béene
brought
to
great
wrack
.
Was
not
the
gréeuous
distresse
of
Thebes
to
be
lamented
,
If
yée
will
haue
a
witnesse
more
nigh
vnto
your
memorie
,
looke
vppon
Rome
:
which
was
so
wasted
and
consumed
by
the
immoderate
contempt
of
equalles
,
and
did
so
languish
by
the
excessiue
conflict
of
noble
Péeres
,
that
it
séemed
rather
to
bee
a
shamble
to
the
carkasses
of
vertuous
Cittizens
,
them
a
prison
to
the
voluptuous
,
and
a
graue
to
the
riotous
.
Pompeie
did
plesantly
iest
at
Caesar
,
Caesar
did
more
esteeme
the
paring
of
his
nayles
,
then
the
honor
of
Pompeie
,
both
theyr
swordes
were
drawne
against
the
naked
common
Weale
,
one
Shéepe
was
committed
to
two
Wolues
,
and
the
final
end
of
their
contempt
,
was
the
funerall
of
theyr
common
Weale
.
These
actions
did
folowe
and
immitate
the
contentions
of
Marius
and
Sylla
.
Marius
made
little
estimation
of
all
the
Nobility
,
Sylla
did
take
Marius
for
a
vile
&
base
borne
creature
,
as
an
abiect
or
forlorne
person
:
but
this
light
contempt
was
of
great
waight
,
and
the
scalefire
of
pryde
could
not
be
extinguished
or
repressed
without
the
downefall
of
the
common
Weale
.
Carthage
,
in
whose
ruines
and
reliques
whilst
he
lodged
,
Marius
beholding
,
defaced
Carthage
,
Carthage
beholding
,
disgraced
Marius
,
one
of
them
might
haue
béene
a
comfort
to
the
other
.
Thus
were
honours
peruerslye
drawne
from
their
proper
ende
,
to
the
pursuing
of
an
vnlawfull
tyranny
,
and
yet
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
they
bee
God
his
speciall
benefites
and
signes
of
his
iust
approbation
.
Saul
was
inuested
of
God
with
most
excellent
honor
,
but
the
deuill
racked
the
power
of
Saul
to
the
tyrannical
persecution
of
Dauid
.
It
is
best
therefore
to
séeke
the
glorye
that
is
of
God
,
and
not
that
which
is
of
men
.
Why
doo
we
hang
so
vpon
the
estimation
of
man
?
Why
doo
wee
fashion
our selues
to
this
worlde
?
Why
doo
we
seeke
to
be
commended
for
rych
and
wealthie
,
howsoeuer
wee
bee
dyscommended
as
ignoraunt
and
waywarde
?
In
nakednes
we
appeared
at
first
,
and
our
last
appearaunce
shall
be
in
nakednes
:
therfore
to
care
for
the
morrow
,
which
perhaps
wee
shall
not
see
,
or
cramme
our
Barnes
,
of
whose
fatnes
we
shall
not
eate
,
is
it
not
a
follie
,
a
miserie
,
and
a
madnes
?
If
it
be
true
,
righteous
shall
inhabite
the
earth
,
and
the
simple
minded
shall
continue
in
it
.
If
the
vngodly
shall
bee
wiped
from
the
face
of
the
earth
,
and
they
that
worke
wyckednes
shall
be
taken
from
thence
.
Why
doo
we
liue
in
pleasures
,
sith
wee
cannot
continue
in
them
,
because
we
liue
in
pleasures
.
If
we
haue
any
faith
in
vs
,
why
doo
we
not
beléeue
that
the
Lorde
wyll
sometime
say
:
goe
ye
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
,
and
contrariwise
,
Come
ye
blessed
,
possesse
the
kingdom
that
was
prepared
for
you
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
?
Why
doo
we
feare
nothing
lesse
then
hell
?
And
why
doo
we
hope
for
nothing
lesse
then
the
kingdome
of
God
?
Why
are
wee
in
name
Christians
&
not
indéede
?
Why
cry
we
Lord
,
Lord
,
but
doo
him
no
seruice
?
Awake
worldlings
,
cast
the
foggie
mist
from
your
eyes
,
sée
and
say
the
truth
,
giue
pleasures
theyr
pasporte
if
they
fawne
vpon
you
,
beléeue
them
not
they
are
the
fore-runners
of
death
,
and
they
haue
clapped
hands
with
destruction
.
Endeuour
to
enter
at
the
narrowe
Gate
,
be
not
obstinate
,
because
ye
are
manie
.
Know
that
but
a
fewe
shal
be
crowned
,
and
it
is
as
great
a
glory
to
be
crowned
wyth
fewe
,
as
it
is
a
shame
to
bee
condemned
with
manie
.
But
that
they
may
the
better
bee
perswaded
by
mee
,
and
giue
more
credite
to
these
assertions
which
I
haue
sette
downe
,
I
will
by
the
grace
of
God
,
vnfolde
the
swéete
treasures
of
a
solitarie
life
,
ioyning
therevnto
an
exhortation
,
whereby
they
may
be
mooued
,
though
not
mended
,
&
loath
their
vices
though
not
leaue
them
:
But
heere
at
my
first
entraunce
,
they
will
trippe

wyth
this
obiection
.
Woulde
you
haue
vs
goe
into
the
Wildernes
,
that
is
a
place
for
Hermites
:
to
the
Forrest
,
where
Palmers
doo
macerate
themselues
:
to
the
Hylles
and
Valleyes
,
where
solitarie
Shéepe
heardes
doo
abide
:
or
to
the
Woodes
and
Groues
,
where
Outlawes
hide
their
heads
?
Their
patience
in
such
sorte
I
meane
not
to
offende
,
because
I
wyll
not
touche
that
string
whereon
they
harpe
so
much
.
The
continuaunce
of
this
dyscourse
shall
make
manifest
,
that
as
I
ayme
at
a
fayrer
marke
,
so
I
meane
to
take
my
standing
on
a
better
ground
.
But
for
the
excusing
of
the
Hermites
life
,
thus
much
I
doo
aunswere
:
Eoclioes
,
that
the
siluer
falleth
out
of
them
before
it
can
well
bee
spared
.
And
in
such
varietie
of
freends
,
whereof
some
be
cholericke
,
some
melancholicke
,
some
sage
,
some
voluptuous
,
some
humble
,
some
proude
,
some
mercilesse
,
some
pittifull
,
some
enuious
,
some
faithfull
,
and
this
last
some
is
the
least
some
:
in
such
discorde
of
affections
,
disagréement
of
inclinations
,
dissent
of
motions
,
contrarietie
of
humores
,
whether
or
whom
wyll
hee
please
that
hath
shuffled
himselfe
wyth
so
manie
:
and
entred
into
a
league
with
men
so
diuersly
disposed
.
If
hee
be
a
dauncer
,
his
Stoicall
fréendes
are
at
his
elbowe
,
with
a
payre
of
pinsors
to
kéepe
him
in
tune
.
If
he
be
no
dauncer
,
his
Epicureall
fréendes
thynke
straight
way
that
hee
is
in
a
traunce
,
that
he
is
dyspossest
of
his
liuely
spyrites
,
that
he
is
inflamed
with
a
foolish
zeale
,
that
he
is
allured
by
Pulpet
perswasions
,
as
if
they
should
say
,
that
hée
were
tempted
of
God
:
and
when
he
is
thus
estraunged
from
their
fashions
,
they
are
ready
to
be
at
defiaunce
wyth
his
fréendship
.
Charus
erit
Verri
,
qui
Verrem
tempore
quo
vult
,
Accusare
potest
.
Verres
amongst
his
freendes
doth
onely
him
recyte
That
beeing
his
confederate
may
him
of
crimes
indite
.
Now
there
is
an
other
sort
which
be
of
the
meane
pitche
,
and
they
alowe
to
theyr
fréend
some
kind
of
dauncing
,
but
some
they
abiudicate
,
hauing
that
saying
of
Aristotle
for
a
principle
:
Omnis
saltatio
non
est
illicita
,
quemadmodum
nec
omnis
motus
.
All
dauncing
is
not
vnlawfull
,
no
more
then
euery
motion
.
There
is
a
fourth
sorte
,
and
they
can
not
abide
their
fréende
to
gyue
hys
minde
to
anie
thing
,
to
which
they
doo
not
addict
themselues
,
though
they
doo
not
mislike
the
qualitie
wherein
he
delighteth
,
saying
that
a
fréende
must
bee
alter
idem
,
so
like
,
that
if
he
spitte
after
an
other
sort
,
hee
is
to
bee
accounted
a
Schismatike
.
Amongst
so
many
heads
,
sences
,
and
sentences
,
such
chaunge
and
mutability
doth
ensue
,
that
euery
morning
,
wherein
a
man
so
distracted
by
diuers
perswasions
ariseth
out
of
hys
bedde
,
he
ariseth
with
an
other
minde
,
and
as
an
other
man
like
to
these

diaria
,
O
vtinam

I
woulde
I
had
neuer
beene
a
husbande
,
I
woulde
I
had
neuer
beene
a
father
:
sometime
with
a
tragicall
tune
lamenting
,
durum
est
seruire
,
cum
didiceris
dominari
:
It
is
an
harde
thing
to
learne
seruitude
after
soueraignty
.
Sometime
with
dyscontented
Cicero
exclayming
:
Cum
non
sis
qui
fueris
,
non
est
cur
velis
viuere
.
Sith
thou
canst
not
enioy
thy
lyuing
,
why
wouldest
thou
enioy
thy
life
?
If
thou
haddest
beene
solitarie
Cicero
,
thou
haddest
not
drunke
of
the
poysonfull
cuppe
of
enuy
,
thou
haddest
escaped
the
swordes
of
Antonius
and
Herennius
,
carrying
thy
heade
vppon
the
poynt
of
his
sworde
,
should
not
haue
made
the
Romaines
to
haue
gazed
vppon
it
,
as
Children
stand
wondring
at
a
Puppet
erected
on
a
pinnacle
.
Much
eloquence
we
had
lacked
,
if
thou
haddest
not
béene
in
Fortunes
fauour
:
but
yet
many
honour
thy
eloquence
,
that
care
not
for
thy
fortune
.
If
thou
haddest
declaymed
against
a
Piller
of
thine
owne
house
,
within
thy
priuate
walles
,
and
haddest
imagined
it
to
haue
béene
Antonie
,
and
haddest
engrauen
therevppon
,
thy
Philippicall
Orations
,
neither
had
we
lost
the
eloquence
which
we
contained
in
them
,
nor
thou
the
dignity
in
which
thou
diddest
pronounce
them
.
Let
euerie
one
consider
,
to
what
course
of
life
he
committeth
himselfe
.
If
hee
make
pleasures
his
companions
,
hys
money
cannot
long
keepe
him
companie
:
if
he
make
moneie
his
companion
he
shall
not
lacke
copartners
.
Hys
Penelope
can
not
be
without
fiftye
wooers
,
a
companie
of
good
felowes
,
commonly
called
théeues
,
will
bee
ready
ad
conciliandam
beneuolentiam
,
of
his
argenteall
assemblie
,
gathered
together
from
diuers
coastes
and
quarters
of
the
world
.
If
he
séeke
one
lie
to
haue
the
applause
and
approbation
of
the
common
people
,
as
a
perpetuall
Perithous
vnto
him
,
hee
followeth
after
flying
Byrdes
,
and
beateth
the
winde
wyth
his
breath
.
The
people
is
a
chaungeable
societie
,
and
hee
must
bee
a
perfitt
Chamaeleon
that
retaineth
their
fauour
.
Demosthenes
did
thinke
that
the
Athenians
good
will
,
had
béene
for
his
singuler
eloquence
in
the
highest
degrée
toward
him
,
and
I
thinke
it
was
:
but
as
it
is
the
vse
of
humaine
thinges
,
which
fall
when
they
are
at
the
highest
.
Diogenes
holding
vppe
his
scrip
on
his
staffe
,
whilst
Demosthenes
dyd
with
an
oratoricall
discourse
allure
the
eares
of
the
Athenians
,
withdrewe
from
Demosthenes
all
his
auditors
,
and
turned
all
their
eyes
to
a
vaine
spectacle
,
verifying
that
which
he
dyd
before
speake
of
them
,
that
they
were
Bellua
multorum
capitum
,
A
beaste
of
many
heades
,
to
vse
a
more
ciuill
interpretation
,
men
of
many
mindes
.
Now
he
that
●ancieth
so
much
the
peoples
fauour
,
must
either
serue
theyr
humors
,
or
els
they
will
vtterly
reiect
him
:
if
he
folow
their
affections
,
hee
must
be
a
slaue
to
their
wylles
,
and
so
not
be
ledde
by
his
owne
reason
,
which
is
proper
to
man
:
and
in
him
contrarye
windes
must
blowe
at
the
same
time
,
which
combat
is
against
nature
.
He
must
holde
with
some
of
the
people
one
thing
,
and
with
other
some
the
contrary
:
and
so
in
inward
affection
.
Hee
shall
fight
for
himselfe
against
himself
,
béeing
diuersly
distracted
,
Met●us
Suffetius
of
his
owne
minde
,
plunged
in
the
hell
of
doubtes
,
and
a
galla-mafrie
of
his
conscience
,
which
if
he
wounde
,
that
is
an
other
hell
,
and
if
he
die
without
repentaunce
,
hee
must
looke
for
the
third
hell
.
But
he
wyll
so
prouide
,
that
he
be
in
great
fauor
wyth
some
honourable
personage
,
and
so
hauing
gotten
a
golden
vizarde
to
a
badde
face
,
he
thinketh
hee
may
maske
in
al
kind
of
pleasurs
,
without
any
stayning
of
his
credite
:
for
as
for
conscience
,
that
is
the
least
question
,
he
thinketh
his
estimation
can
neuer
be
impayred
by
any
chaunge
of
fortune
,
imagining
that
he
is
secundus
a
Ioue
,
the
next
to
Iupiter
,
and
like
a
foolish
Weather-cocke
,
turneth
to
euery
proude
imagination
,
as
his
fancie
windeth
him
,
but
he
must
not
thinke
,
that
his
minde
can
be
faber
fortunae
suae
,
the
carpenter
of
his
owne
fortune
.
He
may
imagine
that
he
hath
golden
Mountaynes
,
that
he
is
a
Cittizen
of
the
siluer
world
,
that
he
is
the
sonne
of
the
white
Henne
,
and
manye
such
gloses
he
may
make
vpon
a
phantasticall
text
.
But
Fortune
cannot
bee
faithfull
,
shee
is
onely
stedfast
in
vnstedfastnes
,
rowling
continually
hither
and
thither
,
according
to
the
circute
of
her
whéele
.
Plautianus
was
in
hygh
fa●our
with
Seuerus
,
Plautianus
.
A
whetstone
to
his
myseries
,
a
wormewood
to
hys
remembraunce
,
and
a
canker
to
his
hart
.
If
he
hadde
dwelt
in
a
meane
Village
,
vnder
the
name
of
a
poore
Gentleman
,
he
should
haue
beene
loued
of
his
neigh
bours
,
but
not
enuied
:
and
though
hee
had
beene
a
scandall
vnto
his
enemies
,
yet
he
should
not
haue
beene
vnto
them
a
ridiculous
spectacle
.
It
is
not
my
meaning
,
to
perswade
any
manne
to
dwell
in
Diogenes
hys
Tubbe
,
or
Clearchus
hys
Truncke
,
to
liue
onelye
by
eating
the
ayre
,
or
to
repose
hys
cheefest
delight
in
the
buzzing
of
a
Bée
,
but
to
exhorte
euery
one
,
that
he
single
and
seuerre
his
desire
from
the
worldly
delicates
,
to
estraunge
hys
cogitations
from
the
allurements
of
the
eye
,
to
restraine
hys
appetite
from
the
deuills
triangle
,
Bacchus
,
Cupid
,
and
Venus
.
That
is
,
not
to
be
accounted
a
chaste
and
contemplatiue
life
,
which
is
consumed
in
corners
vpon
a
melancholicke
passion
,
or
continued
in
desertes
vpon
an
amorous
desperation
,
or
which
is
spent
to
loathing
the
societie
of
menne
,
but
not
in
forsaking
and
renouncing
the
company
of
vices
.
They
which
so
passe
the
time
,
that
the
print
of
theyr
foote-steppes
cannot
bee
perceiued
,
to
tend
eyther
toward
the
Courte
of
Vertue
,
or
to
the
Court
of
Venus
,
but
stand
still
in
the
méeting
of
these
two
waies
,
are
rather
to
be
accounted
Neutralles
than
Christians
,
rather
sluggish
drones
,
then
eyther
godly
Eremites
,
or
celestiall
Eunuches
,
or
solitarie
Virgins
,
hating
rather
men
with
Tymon
,
then
the
sinne
of
Man
with
S.
Augustine
.
The
popish
Monks
make
a
gooly
show
euery
one
of
them
liuing
solus
cum
sola
,
I
would
haue
said
solo
,
but
that
they
serue
not
Bona
Dea
,
and
therefore
they
vse
not
her
precept
.
Non
intret
faemina
limen
.
These
are
not
the
true
professors
of
a
solitarie
and
vertuous
life
,
béeing
nothing
els
but
the
Popes
Adamant
,
not
to
drawe
yron
,
but
coyne
vnto
him
.
But
they
onely
are
accounted
the
perfitte
Solitaria●ns
,
and
they
onely
are
precious
in
the
sight
of
God
,
which
behaue
themselues
in
this
world
like
Straungers
and
Pilgrims
,
béeing
as
it
were
●ncarnate
Angels
,
hauing
their
mindes
fixt
on
the
heauenly
delightes
,
and
on
the
heauenly
knowledge
:
which
are
base
in
the
sight
of
Men
,
fooles
to
the
Stoikes
,
blockes
to
the
Epicures
,
cast
awayes
to
the
contemptuous
,
and
to
expresse
all
in
one
worde
,
wormes
and
not
men
.
They
are
like
Beacons
vpon
hilles
,
which
stande
in
a
solitarye
place
,
and
yet
giue
light
to
the
whole
Country
rounde
about
,
at
whom
euery
worldling
doth
gaze
,
as
at
a
Stranger
,
or
outlandish
person
,
meruailing
whence
he
came
,
whether
he
will
,
or
what
course
he
meaneth
to
take
:
but
these
straungers
of
the
world
,
stand
at
a
bay
with
pleasures
,
at
a
defiance
with
the
deuill
:
hauing
crucified
themselues
to
the
worlde
,
and
the
worlde
vnto
them
,
they
put
a
great
distinction
betwéene
the
Harpe
of
Paris
,
and
the
Harpe
of
Dauid
,
betwixt
the
dauncing
of
Debora
,
and
the
Iewish
women
,
Venus
,
and
Lycomedes
hys
Daughters
,
béeing
neuer
merrie
,
but
when
it
is
said
vnto
them
,
Come
let
vs
go
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
because
their
feete
shall
stand
within
the
gates
of
Ierusalem
,
neuer
delighted
to
throng
with
the
multitude
,
but
when
they
goe
ad
domum
dei
cum
frequentia
,
to
the
house
of
the
Lord
with
a
great
assembly
.
They
séeke
not
to
haue
theyr
names
blazed
by
the
Trumpet
of
the
common
people
,
they
doo
not
watch
,
nor
care
,
nor
trauaile
for
a
popular
fréendship
,
they
doo
not
hauke
nor
hunt
for
lucre
and
gaine
,
but
if
it
please
the
Lord
to
place
them
in
seates
of
honour
,
they
take
it
as
a
frée
gift
,
not
as
a
merited
reward
,
vsing
their
honor
to
the
Lordes
honor
,
ready
at
al
times
to
resigne
it
,
when
it
shall
please
him
to
remooue
it
:
and
if
it
please
the
Lord
to
kepe
them
in
a
low
estate
,
&
to
barre
them
from
the
waight
of
honours
,
they
are
contented
with
his
grace
,
and
making
fréendes
of
the
wicked
Mammon
,
vppon
whom
they
doo
not
relie
,
because
they
must
not
make
such
a
base
matter
their
Bulwark
,
but
charitablie
dispensing
their
substaunce
,
to
the
vse
of
their
néedie
Brethren
,
to
the
discharge
of
their
owne
want
,
and
to
the
glorie
of
God
:
they
so
vse
the
world
as
not
abusing
the
world
.
But
in
these
dayes
,
vnlesse
a
man
be
frollicke
,
and
dissolute
,
he
is
accounted
melancholick
:
vnlesse
he
haue
a
round
inuention
to
returne
a
quippe
,
he
is
accounted
lunaticke
:
if
he
cannot
cozen
,
he
is
a
sott
:
if
hee
bée
simple
,
hée
is
a
foole
:
if
he
be
solitarie
,
hee
is
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
but
if
he
be
a
familiar
companion
,
one
that
is
taught
to
the
game
,
and
a
confederate
in
venereous
practises
,
Pompeie
,
but
alas
he
drewe
hys
féete
too
late
out
of
the
myre
,
wherein
so
long
he
had
bedawbed
them
:
for
shewing
before
a
fréendly
countenance
to
Caesar
,
and
professing
great
fréendship
to
Pompeie
,
such
like
affections
to
persons
so
diuersly
affectioned
,
he
was
looked
for
of
the
one
,
and
longed
for
of
the
other
:
the
one
claymed
him
,
the
other
chalenged
him
:
Caesar
was
iealious
of
him
,
and
set
Scoutes
to
prye
whether
he
applyed
himselfe
any
way
to
the
pleasuring
of
Pompey
,
and
Pompey
also
watched
him
very
narrowlie
,
with
an
attentiue
héede
,
examining
his
procéedings
,
and
doubting
that
hee
dyd
more
estéeme
of
Caesar
then
of
him
:
so
that
Cicero
then
beginning
to
bee
solitarie
,
was
debarred
from
his
intent
,
and
the
more
close
and
solitarie
that
hée
was
▪
the
more
diligently
and
circumspectly
was
he
watched
:
so
that
it
is
not
enough
to
shake
of
partialitie
and
affection
,
and
goe
to
his
studie
,
&
there
betroth
himselfe
to
his
Minerua
,
hauing
the
worlde
before
him
,
in
a
Cosmographicall
Mappe
,
and
the
state
of
the
common
Weale
in
the
parliament
of
his
cogitations
,
but
he
must
set
vpon
his
doore
in
the
first
yere
of
his
Man
hoode
:
Hic
situs
est
Vasias
:
Vasias
lyeth
buried
heere
:
as
though
he
hadde
lost
his
life
,
and
had
entred
into
a
new
worlde
.
For
if
a
man
be
halfe
alyue
and
halfe
dead
,
to
this
wicked
worlde
,
full
of
contentions
and
cares
,
he
purchaseth
to
himselfe
the
name
of
Amphibion
,
a
beast
that
lyueth
bothe
on
water
and
on
land
,
and
such
a
munke
is
like
to
the
bare
scalpe
of
a
Monkes
head
,
that
is
halfe
an
heade
,
and
halfe
a
skul
:
such
demi-worldlinges
should
bee
vsed
like
the
Batte
,
which
was
thruste
both
from
beastes
and
byrdes
,
and
haue
a
garment
shaped
after
two
fashions
,
that
he
may
learne
of
his
coate
what
deformitie
there
is
in
his
mind
,
but
the
linges
are
so
charmed
with
the
sweete
coniuration
of
pleasure
,
that
they
think
their
delightes
shal
neuer
haue
an
ebb
,
that
there
shal
be
no
intermixion
of
sorow
,
no
chaunge
of
fortune
:
that
they
shall
intreate
age
with
a
congie
,
death
with
a
kisse
,
the
hellish
tyranny
with
a
deuoute
placebo
,
and
the
God
that
maketh
the
Temples
of
Heauen
to
shake
with
thunder
,
by
powring
out
a
fewe
wordes
in
forme
of
a
prayer
.
Syth
they
haue
aboundaunce
of
all
thinges
,
ioculiaritie
at
wyll
,
pleasure
in
theyr
hands
,
pouerty
vnder
their
féete
,
welth
in
a
chayne
,
which
they
plucke
in
,
or
let
out
,
as
it
shall
please
their
fansies
:
they
are
fullie
perswaded
,
that
they
shal
neuer
taste
the
cuppe
of
sorrow
,
that
they
shall
neuer
be
pricked
with
thornes
:
that
they
shall
neuer
behold
the
sworde
of
vengeaunce
.
These
voluptuous
Thrasoes
,
thinke
that
they
shine
lyke
the
greater
starres
,
which
obscure
the
lesse
.
And
indéede
they
shine
in
a
kind
of
brauery
:
but
how
?
Euen
as
the
glimmering
of
a
glassie
substaunce
,
which
is
darkened
as
soone
as
it
appeareth
,
and
from
the
Orient
to
the
Occident
thereof
is
a
very
short
space
,
and
a
little
distance
.
In
the
darke
clowdes
of
miserie
,
in
the
ruine
of
prosperitie
,
in
the
wayne
of
fortune
,
in
the
confusion
of
states
,
and
the
conuersion
of
times
:
where
bée
these
sparkling
starres
Hector
,
Troylus
,
Deiphobus
,
Paris
,
and
Priamus
?
where
is
the
pompe
&
maiestie
of
that
great
kingdome
?
where
be
these
gorgious
Women
,
Andromache
,
and
Hecuba
?
where
be
these
diuine
walles
,
built
,
erected
,
&
established
,
by
the
hands
of
Neptune
&
Apollo
?
where
is
there
a
monument
,
print
or
signe
of
the
large
and
famous
region
,
which
was
called
Dardania
?
Troy
is
not
in
so
good
case
that
it
is
turned
into
standing
Corne
,
as
the
Poet
imagined
,
when
he
sayde
Iam
seges
est
vbi
Troia
fuit
:
but
the
corne
is
cutte
,
and
the
stubble
remayneth
.
These
same
starres
haue
nowe
lost
their
light
,
and
are
couered
wyth
the
mantle
of
darknes
.
They
may
say
,
we
were
Troians
,
but
now
are
ashes
:
we
were
starres
,
but
now
are
carkasses
:
we
were
Grapes
,
but
now
are
dregges
:
we
were
the
honour
of
Troy
,
but
now
are
the
footestoole
of
the
Grecians
.
O
wonderfull
chaunge
,
importunate
times
,
and
crooked
fortune
.
The
Sheepeheardes
doo
sing
in
the
field
,
the
conquest
of
the
Troians
,
and
the
Troian
warre
is
the
Sheepeheards
caroll
.
O
slipperie
dignities
,
headlong
honoure
,
fugitiue
glory
:
which
in
one
moment
lighted
vpon
them
and
rebounded
from
them
.
But
these
were
mighty
menne
that
bare
too
high
a
sayle
,
and
therfore
had
iustlie
such
a
stripe
gyuen
them
,
and
such
a
penalty
inflicted
,
let
it
bee
so
:
But
shall
Hector
die
,
and
Astianax
liue
?
Shall
the
thunderbolt
of
Ioue
strike
downe
the
Giants
,
and
shal
Phaeton
that
proude
boy
scape
the
force
thereof
?
Shall
the
trees
fall
,
and
shall
not
the
leaues
be
mooued
?
Shall
Citties
be
shaken
with
earthquakes
,
and
shall
cotages
stande
,
it
is
impossible
,
and
incredible
:
but
what
is
this
against
the
voluptuous
?
Troy
was
deceitfullie
ouercome
by
the
Greekish
craft
,
&
periurie
:
but
Troy
was
firste
bathed
in
Wine
,
before
it
was
circumuented
by
fraude
,
Inuadunt
vrbem
vino
somnoque
sepultam
.
The
Greekes
inuade
a
careles
drunken
Towne
.
When
I
cal
to
mind
,
how
the
sumptuous
buildings
,
which
the
Romaines
did
consecrate
to
pleasure
,
are
turned
to
nothing
,
how
their
Theaters
,
Amphitheaters
,
Circi
&
delightfull
bathes
are
withered
with
a
light
drynes
,
dissolued
with
a
little
blast
,
and
rowlde
downe
as
it
were
with
Fortunes
da●liance
.
I
meruaile
that
the
Epicures
are
so
secure
,
that
they
thinke
theyr
ioyes
shall
alway
continue
,
or
if
they
thinke
on
death
,
yet
they
imagine
,
that
after
their
death
they
shall
be
renowmed
for
some
rare
Trophee
of
pleasure
:
when
death
hath
once
seysed
vppon
them
,
all
such
thinges
are
discontinued
,
neither
can
they
looke
backe
to
their
former
pastimes
:
the
Idolles
of
of
their
Epicurisme
shall
bee
throwne
downe
by
the
breath
of
his
mouth
,
before
whose
face
,
the
Idols
of
the
Gentles
were
dissundred
into
dust
,
and
now
in
dust
are
they
buried
.
Let
them
therfore
before
their
death
thinke
of
their
death
,
let
them
before
they
be
embarcked
,
meditate
both
of
the
Hauen
,
which
is
the
Porte
of
happines
,
and
of
the
Rocke
,
which
is
the
receptacle
of
the
vnhappy
:
and
let
them
in
mind
foresée
the
grim
and
blustering
countenaunce
of
the
terrible
and
threatning
day
,
in
which
the
Axletrées
of
the
world
shall
flie
in
sunder
,
the
starres
shall
fall
from
the
heauens
,
when
the
Sunne
shall
be
ouercast
with
an
yron
colour
,
hyding
his
head
because
he
hath
lost
his
light
,
and
the
moone
béeing
depriued
of
her
light
,
shall
stand
astonished
,
when
the
reuenging
fire
shall
droppe
from
Heauen
,
and
the
sparkes
of
the
lightning
shall
kindle
in
the
stonye
Rockes
:
when
the
Seas
and
fountaines
shall
burne
,
when
the
ayre
shall
be
inflamed
wyth
burning
clowdes
:
when
this
auncient
forme
of
the
world
shall
bee
chaunged
.
Let
them
thinke
of
the
miserable
Dungeon
,
which
contayneth
the
powers
of
darknes
,
that
loathsome
lake
of
hell
,
where
the
deuills
are
plunged
,
as
in
a
swallowing
gulphe
,
out
of
which
there
is
no
egresse
,
buried
in
the
bottome
of
a
vaste
fornace
,
and
breathing
out
of
their
nostrelles
the
smoake
of
vengeaunce
,
out
of
their
mouthes
an
eternall
fire
,
to
torment
the
distressed
:
with
one
hande
they
stretche
out
bright
firebrandes
,
in
the
other
they
holde
theyr
thrée
forked
fuskins
,
both
of
them
as
fit
instruments
of
theyr
tyrannous
crueltie
.
There
is
continuall
gnashing
of
téeth
,
sighing
and
sorrowing
,
both
of
the
deuill
himselfe
,
and
those
whom
hee
scourgeth
,
with
whips
that
will
neuer
be
worne
,
scorcheth
with
fire
that
wyl
neuer
be
extinguished
,
fettereth
wyth
chaynes
that
will
neuer
be
loosed
,
and
teareth
with
wilde
Bulls
that
will
neuer
be
wearied
,
consumeth
with
a
worme
that
will
neuer
be
filled
,
dysioynteth
with
rackes
which
will
neuer
be
broken
.
The
Prince
of
darknesse
howleth
,
because
he
hath
lost
the
heauenly
mansion
,
wherein
before
hee
had
the
vse
of
inestimable
ioyes
.
And
they
because
they
left
the
happines
,
that
was
offered
vnto
them
,
if
they
woulde
haue
left
the
waies
that
ledde
to
destruction
.
Let
them
to
whom
God
permitteth
the
fruition
of
this
vitall
ayre
,
thinke
of
these
thinges
,
and
lay
them
vp
déepelie
in
their
hartes
,
let
them
lift
vp
their
eyes
to
heauen
,
and
their
hartes
to
the
heauenly
comfortes
,
let
them
long
to
be
placed
in
the
Parradise
of
blisse
,
and
to
be
cladde
with
the
robes
of
glorye
,
to
be
crowned
with
the
garland
of
victorie
,
to
be
initiated
into
the
misteries
,
and
admitted
into
the
secrete
treasure
of
that
diuine
contemplation
,
which
is
not
by
any
mans
spéeche
,
or
thought
counteruailable
,
by
the
benefit
of
which
they
shall
behold
the
shyning
gates
of
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
the
walles
stréetes
,
and
dwellings
thereof
,
the
troope
of
Cittizens
and
theyr
mightye
Monarche
:
whose
Towres
are
of
precious
stones
,
whose
buildinges
are
adorned
with
Saphire
and
Smaragdi
:
Then
they
shall
sée
the
Sacrifice
of
their
redemption
,
the
pure
,
holy
,
and
immaculate
Lambe
,
with
the
quyre
of
Angels
,
they
shall
glorifie
God
,
amidst
the
blessed
number
of
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
Martyrs
,
&
Confessors
,
with
the
righteous
Men
and
Matrons
,
with
the
innocent
Virgins
and
Children
.
Wherefore
let
them
desire
to
bee
deliuered
from
these
fleshly
bondes
,
let
them
be
wyllingly
content
to
leaue
their
Tentes
of
Ceder
,
that
dwelling
with
Cherubins
and
Seraphins
,
and
the
happy
soules
of
the
Saintes
,
they
may
triumphantlie
sing
these
hymnes
vnto
the
Lorde
,
which
are
vsed
in
Sion
.
Let
them
adde
to
these
thrée
,
three
other
contemplations
,
very
necessary
and
conuenient
,
let
them
déepely
I
say
deliberate
of
these
three
thinges
:
First
,
howe
base
our
estate
is
in
this
life
.
Secondly
,
howe
discommodious
this
worlde
is
vnto
vs
.
Thirdlie
,
how
short
and
momentarye
this
life
is
.
For
the
first
,
let
them
enter
into
the
consideration
of
mans
original
,
who
when
he
commeth
into
the
world
,
doth
with
great
weakenes
,
imbecillity
,
feare
and
trembling
,
enioy
the
earth
▪
and
receiue
the
ayre
:
hee
shrinketh
,
quaketh
,
and
quauereth
,
stagereth
and
starteth
backe
,
as
though
hee
woulde
gladly
returne
,
and
reenter
into
the
closette
of
his
mothers
wombe
.
And
for
the
euident
demonstration
of
his
mysliking
of
this
world
,
he
beginneth
to
weepe
,
and
cry
out
in
most
rufull
and
pittifull
manner
,
with
a
skréeking
and
dolefull
gen●thliacon
,
which
●s
so
proper
to
the
nature
of
man
,
when
it
first
sprouteth
in
this
world
,
that
the
learned
Mirandula
not
vnwisely
sayd
,
Salomon
,
and
yet
they
are
wyser
then
men
that
bee
wyse
.
The
Antes
a
people
not
strong
,
yet
prepare
they
theire
meate
in
the
Summer
.
The
Connies
,
a
people
not
mighty
,
yet
make
they
theyr
houses
in
the
Rockes
.
The
Grashoppers
haue
no
kinges
,
and
yet
they
goe
all
foorth
by
bandes
.
The
Spider
holdeth
with
her
hand
,
and
is
in
kinges
pallaces
.
So
the
Lorde
that
hee
myght
shewe
howe
weake
mans
power
is
,
beeing
compared
to
other
creatures
,
that
hys
owne
power
might
cleerelye
shyne
in
the
creation
and
gouernment
of
them
,
dooth
thus
expostulate
wyth
Iob.
Who
hath
sett
the
wilde
Asse
at
libertie
,
or
who
hath
loosed
his
bands
?
It
is
I
which
haue
made
the
wildernes
his
house
,
and
the
salt
places
his
dwellinges
.
Hee
mocketh
the
multitude
of
the
Cittie
,
hee
heareth
not
the
crye
of
the
dryuer
.
And
againe
.
Hast
thou
gyuen
the
horse
strength
,
or
couered
hys
neck
with
neyghing
,
he
diggeth
in
the
valley
,
and
reioyceth
in
his
strength
,
he
goeth
foorth
to
meete
the
harnest
man
,
he
despyseth
feare
,
and
turneth
not
his
backe
from
the
sword
.
Iob
béeing
greatly
apalled
and
daunted
,
wyth
these
and
such
like
spéeches
,
doth
confesse
his
imbecillitie
,
acknowledgeth
his
basenes
,
and
remooueth
from
hys
mind
all
opinion
of
statelines
,
&
wyth
great
humilitie
,
méekenes
,
and
lenitye
of
mind
,
frameth
this
aunswere
to
the
Lorde
.
Beholde
I
am
vile
,
what
shall
I
aunswere
thee
,
I
wyll
lay
my
hande
vpon
my
mouth
.
Thys
may
sufficiently
argue
mans
ignobilitie
and
contemptible
estate
in
thys
life
:
if
we
rest
onely
in
the
naturall
manne
,
and
goe
no
further
:
but
this
notwithstanding
he
will
scarce
beléeue
,
that
this
worlde
is
discommodious
and
daungerous
vnto
him
,
sith
hee
tasteth
the
fruites
of
most
acceptable
fréendshippe
,
and
hath
such
a
large
title
to
so
many
freendes
.
By
that
recorde
I
wyll
be
tryed
,
and
as
the
iudgement
of
freendshypp
is
registred
in
the
hartes
of
wise
men
,
let
definitiue
sentence
bee
giuen
.
The
discoloured
and
mutable
affection
of
fréendes
hath
driuen
many
to
that
exigent
,
that
they
haue
beene
ready
to
aduowe
and
betake
themselues
to
a
voluntary
exile
,
whereof
Vmbricius
the
Romaine
was
one
,
who
made
this
protestation
.
proponimus
illuc
Thither
I
meane
to
hie
Whither
the
wearied
Dedalus
constrained
was
to
flye
.
And
he
giueth
afterward
a
substantiall
reason
.
Quis
nunc
diligitur
,
nisi
conscius
,
&
cui
feruens
Aestuat

What
man
is
nowe
beloued
,
but
he
whose
guilty
mind
Dooth
feele
the
flames
of
secrete
sins
,
and
can
no
comfort
find
.
Salomon
did
much
lament
the
defect
of
charitie
,
and
the
coldnes
thereof
,
when
he
considered
that
the
poore
and
innocent
manne
was
fréendles
and
succourlesse
.
I
behelde
(
sayth
Salomon
)
the
●eares
of
the
innocent
,
and
there
was
none
to
comfort
him
,
and
hee
coulde
not
resist
the
violence
of
aduersaries
,
beeing
destitute
of
all
mens
ayde
.
Therfore
I
praysed
them
that
were
deade
,
As
it
was
in
Salomons
time
,
so
is
it
nowe
,
and
I
feare
worse
.
What
cruelty
is
daylye
committed
of
neighbour
against
neighbour
,
brother
against

fréend
against

,
fratrum
quoque
gratia
rara
est
nor
hoste
his
guest
doth
spare
.
Nor
sonne
in
lawe
the
father
in
lawe
,
and
brothers
loue
is
rare
.
There
is
nothing
more
common
in
these
dayes
,
then
fréendly
salutations
,
sugered
spéeches
,
large
promises
,
fauning
faces
,
fauourable
wordes
,
the
fidelitie
of
the
forehead
,
and
the
charity
of
the
countenaunce
.
But
a
fréende
that
will
take
his
hart
out
of
his
brest
,
and
gage
it
for
thy
safetye
,
to
whom
thy
teares
be
as
greeuous
as
the
droppes
of
hys
own
blood
,
which
accounteth
thée
his
owne
déere
worth
,
though
thou
be
deformed
by
pouertye
:
such
a
fréend
is
the
beauty
of
the
world
and
his
fréendship
is
a
rare
mysterie
to
the
consideration
of
man
.
But
such
fréend
ship
is
the
imagined
fréendship
of
Aristotle
,
which
is
(
so
haue
we
corrupted
&
altered
nature
)
an
accident
but
not
inhaerent
in
any
subiect
:
an
excellent
thing
,
&
diuinely
described
.
But
the
good
Philosopher
(
peace
be
to
his
cinders
)
coulde
not
giue
an
instance
of
a
perfit
freend
,
though
hee
gaue
many
rules
and
documents
,
which
may
direct
to
fréendship
.
Nothing
tinckleth
more
in
the
eares
of
men
,
then
the
name
of
society
,
and
the
profession
of
amitie
,
nothing
seemeth
more
delectable
vnto
vs
,
then
the
name
of
fréendship
,
nothing
more
detestable
then
the
name
of
enimitie
:
yet
in
the
common
practise
of
our
life
,
that
which
by
wordes
we
doo
so
greatly
dyscommend
▪
by
déedes
we
doo
confirme
and
approoue
,
and
in
our
hartes
enimitye
hath
a
francke
tenement
:
freendshyp
is
tenaunt
at
wyll
,
which
in
euerye
cholericke
furie
,
we
are
ready
to
extrude
.
This
is
the
cause
that
freendship
is
so
clowded
by
anger
,
so
diminished
by
suspition
,
so
weakened
by
emulation
,
so
corrupted
by
enuie
,
so
supplanted
by
trechery
,
so
solde
for
commoditie
,
so
chaunged
with
nouelty
,
so
farre
distant
from
constancie
,
that
this
onely
remaineth
to
a
man
to
beast
of
in
fréendshyppe
,
that
he
is
not
deceiued
nor
betrayed
by
his
fréendes
.
Now
if
fréends
be
so
disprofitable
,
and
fréendshyppe
so
daungerous
a
thing
in
this
Worlde
,
what
are
then
our
foes
in
this
worlde
our
sworne
foes
,
our
bitter
enemies
,
such
as
are
neuer
satisfied
,
tyll
theyr
eies
be
glutted
with
beholding
a
whole
Ae●na
of
miseries
falling
vppon
vs
.
Let
him
loath
therefore
this
world
,
let
hym
loath
this
life
,
let
him
desire
to
leaue
this
carkasse
.
This
life
is
indéede
a
death
,
and
this
carkasse
but
a
Tombe
and
Sepulcher
of
a
shry●ed
soule
.
Man
(
sayth
Iob
)
is
of
a
short
continuaunce
,
and
full
of
trouble
,
Let
vs
therefore
make
great
account
how
we
spend
the
dayes
of
our
peregrination
in
this
worlde
,
and
the
longer
we
liue
,
let
vs
liue
the
better
,
God
will
not
bee
wanting
to
our
wyll
,
if
our
will
be
not
wanting
to
our selues
,
let
the
worldling
weigh
in
hys
mynde
,
the
reasons
and
precepts
that
of
the
sacred
worde
of
God
I
haue
borrowed
.
If
he
thinke
them
to
burthenous
,
let
him
thinke
of
the
reward
that
he
shall
haue
for
the
carriage
.
The
weight
wherewith
he
is
charged
,
is
the
waight
of
pearles
,
not
of
quarry
si●nes
.
Euery
ounce
hath
a
pound
of
commoditie
:
and
let
the
godly
Christian
take
this
poeticall
clause
,
not
as
poetical
but
true
,
and
as
a
fréendly
farewel
of
a
contemplatiue
Christian
.
