A
HANDFVL
OF
ESSAIES
.
1
Of
Disloyaltie
.
WHat
our
friends
counsell
vs
,
is
left
vnto
our
owne
discretion
,
to
do
or
leaue
vndon
▪
but
what
a
Religious
Prince
commandeth
,
that
of
force
must
bee
performed
;
It
is
well
said
of
Samuel
,
that
Rebellion
is
as
the
sinne
of
Witchcraft
,
for
as
the
Witch
knowing
the
Deuill
to
bee
the
Father
of
lies
,
yet
will
trust
him
:
So
the
disobedient
knowing
,
that
he
oweth
all
good
loyalty
to
the
King
,
will
yeeld
none
vnto
him
:
These
haue
made
mercy
a
warrant
for
sinn
,
which
is
onely
a
warning
from
sinning
,
busying
themselues
(
with
Haman
)
to
prouide
their
owne
gallowes
:
Zimry
,
who
slew
his
master
,
had
no
peace
;
the
Earth
cloue
asunder
,
and
swallowed
vp
rebellious
Corah
and
his
faction
,
it
was
at
once
an
executioner
and
a
graue
vnto
them
:
Plutarch
well
obserues
,
that
all
those
who
had
any
hand
in
the
conspiracy
against
Caesar
,
did
come
to
bloudy
ends
;
and
Cassius
one
of
the
conspirators
,
slew
himselfe
with
the
same
Dagger
wherewith
he
wounded
Caesar.
They
that
resist
shall
receiue
to
themselues
iudgement
,
Rom.

acquirunt
sibi
damnationem
,
as
the
vulgar
reades
it
;
they
doe
not
onely
receiue
,
but
pull
vpon
themselues
heauy
iudgements
;
Kings
are
Gods
by
deputation
:
he
who
resisteth
their
authority
resisteth
Gods
ordinance
,
for
the
powers
that
be
,
are
ordained
of
God
.
Traianus
is
commended
for
that
saying
of
his
,
when
hee
gaue
the
sword
vnto
a
chiefe
Officer
.
Hoc
pro
me
vtere
,
si
iusta
imperauero
,
contra
me
si
iniusta
:
Yet
Dauid
would
not
lay
violent
hands
vpon
Saul
(
though
none
of
the
best
Kings
)
because
he
was
the
Lords
annointed
.
The
rule
of
Augustine
is
good
,
Bonus
si
fuerit
qui
tibi
praeest
nutritor
,
tuus
est
,
malus
si
fuerit
tentator
,
tuus
est
,
&
nutrimenta
libenter
accipe
&
in
tentatione
approbare
:

So
there
must
be
no
rebelling
:
good
Gouernors
we
must
obey
willinglingly
,
bad
ones
wee
must
endure
patiently
:
Gods
ordinance
must
not
be
resisted
,
no
not
for
the
personable
crimes
of
those
who
supply
the
seat
of
Iustice
,
but
rather
bee
obeyed
,
because
they
beare
diuinity
about
them
,
and
the
sparkes
of
Gods
Maiesty
remaines
in
some
measure
in
euery
Maiestrate
.
The
image
and
superscription
of
a
Prince
stamped
in
base
mettall
is
currant
among
his
Subiects
,
as
well
as
that
which
is
made
in
the
finest
siluer
,
though
indeede
it
be
not
so
precious
.
Saint
Peter
1.
2.
18.
admonisheth
seruants
,
and
vnder
that
title
Subiects
,
to
be
obedient
in
all
feare
,
not
onely
,
to
the
good
and
gracious
,
but
also
,
to
the
froward
.
Iulian
was
an
infidell
Emperour
,
an
Apostata
,
an
Idolater
,
yet
the
Christian
Soldiers
serued
the
Infidell
Emperor
;
but
when
he
would
haue
them
worship
Idols
,
they
preferred
God
before
him
:
In
such
a
case
it
is
better
to
obey
God
then
man
:
Hic
contemne
potestatem
,
timendo
potestatem
.
But
when
Iulian
led
those
Souldiers
against
an
enemy
,
they
presently
obeyed
him
,
propter
Domiuum
eternum
subditi
etiam
erant
domino
temporali
:
Aug.
de
Psalm
.
124.
If
nothing
plucketh
downe
sooner
then
that
which
promiseth
an
vntimely
ende
;
Let
no
man
thinke
that
God
wil
leaue
that
vnpunished
in
vs
,
which
he
hath
not
pardoned
in
our
betters
.
2
Of
Sermon-hearers
.
I
Obserue
three
sorts
of
Sermon-hearers
,
one
of
which
,
I
may
not
vnfitly
call
indifferent
professors
;
these
walke
(
like
Nicodemus
)
in
the
twilight
of
their
Infolded
Faith
,
and
not
vnlike
that
white liuered
Iewe
,
Ioh.
9.
which
chose
rather
to
conceale
his
knowledge
of
Christ
then
to
bee
put
out
of
the
Sinagogue
;
and
so
it
fareth
with
euery
lanus
in
Religion
.
These
haue
good
cause
to
pray
,
that
by
their
wilfull
blindnesse
they
fall
not
with
Iudas
into
that
euerlasting
night
,
whilest
for
their
euening
repentance
,
their
be
found
with
God
no
place
of
acceptance
.
These
Heare-Sermons
,
as
trauellers
in
the
time
of
the
Law
,
might
take
Grapes
,
eate
some
for
the
present
time
,
but
carry
away
none
with
them
.
A
second
sort
are
such
,
as
being
tempestiously
carried
with
the
violence
of
their
owne
affections
,
doe
come
to
Church
,
as
did
the
Athenians
,
to
heare
newes
,
whose
itching
eares
would
haue
scratching
doctrine
;
they
thinke
not
the
word
of
God
to
bee
his
power
to
saluation
,
except
it
be
deliuered
by
a
Chaplaine
of
their
owne
choosing
.
Such
Ammons
of
the
people
cannot
be
perswaded
to
let
any
cakes
goe
downe
but
those
of
Thamars
baking
.
If
others
looke
but
into
the
Pulpit
,
presently
they
cry
out
against
him
as
those
did
against
Paul
.
Quid
vult
seminilegus
dicere
;
They
hold
it
lawfull
to
checke
their
Teacher
,
as
they
taunt
their
Tailor
,
if
hee
fit
them
not
with
a
Sermon
of
the
fashion
.
The
last
in
place
,
but
the
first
in
price
,
are
zealous
Protestants
,
who
being
backed
by
the
holy-Ghost
,
doe
resemble
their
Father
Abraham
,
with
a
fire
in
one
hand
,
and
a
knife
in
the
other
,
to
figure
their
full
resolution
,
to
affect
what
God
affecteth
,
hauing
their
hearts
bleeding
at
their
eyes
in
sorrowe
for
their
sinnes
.
If
a
Rauen
bring
these
men
food
with
Elias
,
they
will
receiue
and
eate
it
.
Dum
cadunt
eundo
,
cauent
cadendo
:
they
loose
not
the
faculty
of
going
,
but
learne
to
looke
better
to
their
feete
by
falling
:
though
their
braines
should
bee
beaten
out
of
their
heads
,
yet
the
iustifying
Faith
is
neuer
banished
out
of
their
hearts
.
They
are
as
willing
to
suffer
euill
,
as
to
receiue
good
at
the
hands
of
God
:
else
were
they
guilty
of
charging
God
foolishly
;
like
good
N●aboth
they
are
ready
and
willing
to
defend
the
Vine
with
their
heart-blood
:
whilst
others
(
being
but
Comedians
in
Religion
)
act
in
voice
&
gesture
diuine
vertues
,
but
in
the
course
of
their
liues
renounce
the
persons
and
parts
they
play
:
These
with
Simeon
take
Christ
in
their
armes
by
Faith
,
and
carry
him
about
in
their
liues
by
a
holy
conuersation
,
hauing
learned
that
the
practike
knowledge
of
the
Scriptures
,
is
the
perfect
knowledge
of
them
,
and
the
art
of
doing
that
saues
the
soule
.
3.
Of
Atheisme
.
A
Theisme
not
daring
to
say
with
Rabsaketh
that
our
God
deceiueth
vs
,
as
an
Imposture
,
like
enuy
creepeth
closely
,
where
it
dares
not
appeare
openly
:
In
corde
dixit
insipiens
non
est
Deus
:
Diagoras
was
but
a
foole
for
saying
so
;
if
hee
had
but
asked
the
heauens
they
would
haue
told
him
that
they
are
the
worke
of
Natures
God
.
The
world
is
a
faire
table
wherein
God
hath
drawn
and
imprinted
himselfe
in
so
many
Charrecters
and
legible
letters
,
as
the
simplest
man
liuing
may
read
and
vnderstand
the
same
,
and
by
the
greatnesse
of
the
beauty
of
the
creature
may
the
Creator
thereof
bee
seene
and
knowne
.
Those
who
in
old
time
were
accounted
Atheists
,
some
of
them
rather
iested
at
the
falsehood
&
number
of
their
owne
Idols
,
then
denied
the
being
of
one
true
God
.
Socrates
,
who
was
pronounced
by
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
to
bee
the
wisest
man
of
all
,
was
put
to
death
for
iesting
at
the
number
and
multitude
of
Gods
amongst
the
Heathens
.
Though
there
be
some
such
fooles
which
suffer
their
hearts
to
bee
diuorced
from
the
know
selfe
is
vnfruitfull
,
and
like
the
Vine
vnprooued
,
runnes
foorth
into
many
superfluous
stemmes
and
branches
:
nothing
on
mans
part
but
a
holy
and
vertuous
education
can
make
it
fruictifie
;
goodnesse
,
although
it
may
be
repaired
in
our selues
,
yet
it
cannot
bee
propagated
vnto
ours
:
very
seldome
doe
men
see
the
sonnes
of
excellent
men
,
excellent
:
vice
is
propagated
not
vertue
:
Euen
the
clearest
graine
sends
forth
that
chaffe
from
which
it
was
fanned
before
the
sowing
.
Yet
many
Parents
take
more
care
to
leaue
their
Children
rich
in
goods
then
in
goodnesse
,
by
reason
whereof
,
their
riches
make
them
retchlesse
;
For
comming
to
their
Inheritance
too
young
,
their
heads
being
as
full
of
folly
,
as
their
purses
of
money
,
They
(
like
the
Prodigall
Son
)
consume
all
in
riotous
liuing
:
so
giuing
their
Parents
iust
cause
to
complain
,
as
Tiberius
once
did
of
his
Sonne
Caligula
,
that
he
had
brought
him
vp
to
bee
the
ruine
of
his
House
.
This
mischiefe
,
good
and
Religious
education
will
helpe
to
preuent
:
Socrates
confesseth
that
with
the
study
of
Philosophy
he
had
made
dull
and
blunt
his
dishonest
inclinations
;
those
infectious
and
venemous
qualities
which
are
in
the
springs
of
youth
,
the
falt
of
good
education
will
helpe
to
cure
:
for
want
of
this
,
Parents
,
who
haue
named
their
Sons
Caine
,
a
Possession
,
in
the
end
find
them
to
be
Abell
,
Losse
and
Vanity
.
5.
Of
the
Commons
.
POpulari
vento
nihil
inconstantius
;
for
the
Commons
(
as
vnstable
as
quicksiluer
)
fawning
on
a
man
will
make
him
a
King
to
day
,
and
a
Begger
to
morrow
:
Seianus
in
the
forenoone
was
so
fauoured
and
followed
by
the
people
,
that
they
would
haue
made
him
their
Caesar
,
yet
hated
him
so
much
in
the
afternoone
,
that
they
sent
him
as
a
malefactor
vnto
prison
;
The
same
Antiochus
was
at
one
time
saluted
both

and
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
a
glorious
Prince
,
and
a
furious
Tirant
.
Homer
(
as
blind
as
hee
was
)
sawe
as
much
;
hee
compares
the
disposition
of
the
common
people
to
the
standing
corne
,
there
comes
a
puffe
of
wind
&
blowes
it
all
on
the
one
side
,
there
comes
another
blast
and
swayes
it
as
much
on
the
other
side
.
It
is
a
fit
comparison
made
by
that
Kingly
Prophet
:
It
is
the
Lord
that
stilleth
the
rage
of
the
Sea
,
the
noise
of
the
waues
,
and
the
madnesse
of
the
people
.

Where
the
nature
of
the
people
is
compared
to
the
billowes
of
the
working-sea
that
cannot
rest
;
so
easily
set
agog
,
so
delighted
with
nouelties
,
so
full
of
alteration
&
chang
are
the
affections
of
the
common
people
:
The
Mariner
may
aswell
wrap
vp
the
winde
in
his
saile-cloth
,
and
keepe
it
for
another
voyage
,
as
the
Prince
can
mannage
the
vntamed
multitude
;
those
mouthes
which
cryed

at
the

,
cryed

Of
bribing
.
THe
best
Gouernours
are
not
all-seeing
Gods
,
for
Gehezi
wil
haue
a
bribe
,
though
he
serue
a
most
reuerend
Master
,
of
him
none
can
expect
a
blessing
,
vntill
with
Isaack
hee
hath
felt
your
hands
;
all
his
sences
being
turned
into
feeling
:
He
speakes
to
poore
suitors
,
as
that
olde
strumpet
in
Plautus
did
to
a
worne-out
Customer
of
hers
,
(
who
asked
dayes
of
payment
for
his
pleasure
)
oculatae

:
people
of

in

they

but
what
they

Petty
Officers
diue
deepe
into
poore

purses
,
for
spinning
out
a
short
subiect
into
a
long
matter
,
they
doe
bring
in
a
large
reckoning
for
much
needelesse
writing
;
And
yet
as
time-sellers
,
the
Clarke
causeth
the
poore
Clyent
to
pay
for
expedition
too
,
when
the
suite
hath
depended
seauen
yeares
before
:
This
often
causeth
both
an
ebbe
and
a
flood
both
in
an
hower
,
the
emptying
of
the
Clyents
purse
,
being
the
full
,
filling
of
the
Clarkes
,
who
like
Gehezi
when
he
receiueth
a
bribe
,
belieues
hee
receiueth
a
blessing
:
but
as
there
lay
a
curse
vnder
Gehezi
his
hoping
for
blessing
(
as
he
felt
to
his
own
cost
,
when
the
Leprosie
of
Naaman
cleaued
vnto
him
,
)
So
there
is
a
curse
vnder
their
blessing
;
For
fire
(
as
Iob
speaketh
)
shall
deuoure
the
houses
of

It
was
a
worthy
answere
made
by
the
Heathenish
Prince
Tiberius
to
a
polling
Customer
of
his
,
that
thoght
to
haue
highly
pleased
him
with
racking
his
subiects

exacting
great
summes

It
is
the
property
of
these
vnder-hand
dealers
to
pretend
great
husbandry
for
their
Maisters
,
and
double
diligence
in
their
seruice
.
Vnder
which
colour
they
practise
their
iniquity
without
check
or
controulement
,
I
referre
such
to
that
threatning
of
the
Lord
in
the
Prophet
.
I
will
visit
all
those
that
stand
vpon
the

so
proudly

which

cruelty

The
Throne
of
King
Salomon
had
Lyons
carued
about
it
to
declare
a
kinde
of
Maiesty
and
grauity
in
the
steppes
of
it
;
not
Rauens
,
not
Wolues
,
Birds
and
Beasts

.
So
should
great
mens
seruants
,
and
Officers
of
Iustice
,
bee
Lyons
in
shewe
for
grauity
;
yet
harmeles
as
those
Images
about
Salomons
Seate
,
rather
terrible
to
them
that
stand
aloofe
,
then
hurtful
to
any
who
haue
occasion

THis
sinne
of
vnlawfull
getting
vnlawful
gaine
is
as
the
forbidden
Tree
;
for
men
hauing
many
honest
Trades
to
get
their
liuing
by
Gods
ordinance
,
yet
they
vse
indirect
meanes
,
turning
the
Princes
tolleration
into
an

Sauiour
,
Moses
commanded
,
when
of
force
hee
was
faine
to
suffer
diuorcements
to
auoide
further
inconneniences
.
This
sinne
is
like
Salomons
louing
of
strang
women
.

both
estrange
men

turne
their
hearts
from

the
sinne
of

because
in

which
hee
sheweth
because
other

haue
a

bring

the

So

at
one

is
put
to
vsury
,
and
borne

Of
Pride
.
OVr
Sauiour
said
that
silken
rayment
was
in
Kings
Courts
,
but
now
it
is
in
euery
priuate
house
where
costly
attire
is
vsed
as
a
net
to
catch
King
Salomons
fooles
;
Pride
(
like
a
Dogge
)
hath
licked
vp
all
the
outcast
fashions
that
euery
Nation
hath
vomited
.
If
his
Maiesty
should
banish
(
as
did
Licurgus
)
all
inuenters
of
new
fashions
,
I
thinke
the
Land
would
bee
much
vnpeopled
,
The
Prouerbe
was
,
the
garment
must
bee
well
made
,
that
shall
please
all
;
but
now
it
is
,
the
garment
must
be
well
made
that
shall
please
any
at
all
.
Men
now
haue
as
much
labour
to
clothe
their
Wiues
,
as
Mercury
had
to
cloth
the
Moone
;
Send
they
must
to
the
Indians
for
Silke
to
apparell
them
,
for
Pearles
(
the
excretions
of
Shel-fish
)
to
adorne
them
;
for
Smells
(
the
excrements
of
beasts
)
to
fume
and
sent
them
;
for
Gold
,
(
Iliaterrae
)
to
deck
and
lace
them
;
forgetting
themselues
to
be
Daughters
of
Adam
,
whom
God
at
first
turnd
out
in
a
plaine
leather
Suit
.
And
if
any
of
these
be
chalenged
for
their
excessiue
pride
;
they
answere
(
as
Iulia
did
)
wittily
,
but
not
wisely
;
they
haue
a
care
of
their
husbands
credit
.
In
the
mean
time
,
it
robbeth
the
Master
of
his
money
,
the
Mistres
of
her
honestie
▪
for
these
fleeces
of
vanity
are
banners
of
Pride
and
nests
of
lust
,
one
weares
a
loosebodied
gowne
,
an
other
a
gowne
with
a
loose
body
:
Sometime
the
Husband
is
proud
of
his
welath
,
like
Haman
,
whose
pride
ended
on
a
high
paire
of
Gallowes
:
sometime
of
his
wife
,
as
Assuerus
was
of
Vasthi
for
her
beauty
.
The
Scripture
mentioneth
but
of
one
who
painted
her
face
,
and
soone
after
the
doggs
eat
her
;
nor
but
two
,
who
wore
long
haire
,
and
it
was
the
destruction
of
them
both
,
which
proueth
the
Prouerbe
true
,
that
which
men
make
their
chiefe
felicitie
,
doth
often
prooue
their
heauy
desteny
;
Let
no
man
fashion
himselfe
like
vnto
this
world
:
howsoeuer
foolish
men
(
like
Ierobo●m
,
)
worship
a
golden
Calfe
;
yet
man
,
not
God
looketh
on
the
outward
appearance
.
He
who
with
Iacob
desireth
to
get
the
better
blessing
of
our
heauenly
Father
;
must
(
as
Hagar
was
commanded
)
humble
himselfe
:
there
is
no
nearer
way
to
heauen
,
no
not
for
Princes
;
for
God
resisteth
the
proud
:
God
and
pride
cannot
dwell
in
the
same
minde
▪
which
could
not
dwell
in
the
same
heauen
:
&
pride
once
fallen
from
heauen
,
ascends
no
more
from
whence
it
is
fallen
.

IF

may
not
trust
in
the

of
Princes
,
who
are
stiled
Gods
,
much
lesse
should
mans
confidence

they
either
leaue

The
wisest
King
did
well
compare
the
eager
holding
of
wealth
to
a
sore
sicknes
,
which
bringeth
paine
to
the
partie
and
griefe
to
his
good
friends
,
God
made
the
world
of
naught
because
men
shuld
set
it
at
naught
not
choaking
themselues
with
too
much
,
nor
suffering
others
to
pine
with
want
,
but
the
couetous
not
seeing
what
God
hath
in
store
for
them
,
they
take
before-hand
what
the
world
offereth
them
,
not
caring
how
they
get
so
they
haue
their
desire
.
The
wealth
of
these
men
is
vnto
them
,
as
the
wings
of
the
Grassehopper
wherewith
shee
cannot
flie

It

hee

that

so
hee
seeth

Fulgentius

who

nor

If
hee
saw
a

then
himself
in

he
thinketh
on

in

,
and
feares
he
wil
oppresse
him
▪
if
hee
saw
a
poorer
then
himselfe
,
hee
cannot
sleepe
,
for
feare
he
should
rob
him
:
Out
of
these
feares
he
starts
vp
,
and
asketh
,
whether
the
doores
be
barred
,
where
be
the
Keyes
?
at
the
least
noise
he
calls
vp
his
seruant
,
sends
him
then
foorth
,
bolts
the
doore
after
him
,
and
then
studieth
whether
it
were
better
to
keep
within
doores
,
or
goe
foorth
and
see
.
Eate
he
may
,
but
will
not
,
one
good
meale
,
but
at
his
neighbours
table
:
corpus
extenuat
,
vt
lucrum
extendat
;
hee
feareth
to
eate
,
because
hee
feareth
in
Albertus
,
which
dares
not
eate
of
the
earth
,
for
feare
hee
should
want
earth
to
eate
.
If
he
eateh
it
is
commonly
of
the
worst
and
coursest
,
like
the
Bakers
boy
,
though
hee
hath
White
bread
in
his
basket
,
yet
himselfe
feedes
vpon
browne
.
Amongst
his
many
wishes
,
one
is
(
that
Camelion
like
)
hee
could
liue
by
the
ayre
:
nothing
can
more
vexe
him
then
to
heare
that
Corne
falls
,
or
that
there
is
store
of
Danske
Rye
,
then
could
he
hang
himselfe
,
but
that
hee
is
vnwilling
to
cast
away
a
little
money
to
buy
a
Cord.
What
he
enioyeth
neuer
contents
him
:
Like
another
Ahab
,
hee
is
ficke
of
his
next
neighbours
field
:
though
his
mouth
be
full
of
Siluer
,
yet
like
Peters
Fish
he
is
still
byting
,
still
gaping
to
get
more
.
His
greedy
affections
are
like
vnto
Pharaohs
leane
Kyne
,
of
whom
the
Text
saith
,
When
they
had
eaten
vp
the
fatt
,
it
could
not
bee
knowne
that
they
had
eaten
them
,
but
they
were
still
as
euill-fauoured
as
they
were
at
the
beginning

Vnto

esteemeth

whether

Gaine
is
his
godlinesse
:
if
▪
he
haue
goods
enough
,
he
thinkes
hee
is
good
enough
.
Trust
him
with
the
poores
stocke
,
and
like
Iudas
hee
will
robbe
the
poore
:
If
he
be
then
to
cloth

,
hee
will
doe
as
Hanun
did
with

rides
to
the
Deuill
.
Vntil
this
earthworme
come
vnto
the
earth
,
hee
minds
nothing
but
earthly
things
,
like
a
Swine
he
neuer
doth
good
till
his
death
:
as
an
Apprentices
box
of
earth
,
apt
he
is
to
take
all
,
but
to
restore
none
till
hee
bee
broken
:
And
hauing
made
many
beggers
by
Vsury
&
oppression
in
his
life
;
at
his
death
he
will
command
his
Executor
to
build
some
Hospitall
,
as
a
monument
of
his
bloudy
deuotion
:
After
hee
hath
bought
and
sold
Christ
,
hee
will
buy
a
Field
to
bury
strangers
in
:
I
feare
this
man
,
whilest
with
Shemei
hee
runneth
after
his
seruants
,
his
riches

in
forbidden
wayes

in

obserued
of
Ioseph
of
Arim
athea
who
buried
our
Sauiour
,
that
hee
was
a
rich
man
,
and
the
reason
why
our
Sauiour
would
be
buried
by
the
handes
of
a
rich
man
,
was
,
to
teach
rich
men
that
they
aboue
all
others
are
bound
to
liberality
and
workes
of
mercy
,
because
God
aboue

wastfully
spend
their

the

imitate

he
did
the

is
so
honourable
that

eateth
not

the
thing
that
keepeth
rich

from
giuing

is
a
faithlesse
feare
that
they
should
lacke
before
they
die
,
When
Dauid
neuer
saw
the
righteous
forsaken
,
nor
his
seede

But
so
good
is
God
vnto
them
,
that
hee
taketh
them
away
in
the
middest

their

ridding
them

what
they
are
afraide

prouiding

The
Widdowe
of

might
haue
answered

The

that
they
had
sufficient
poore

making
this
his
God
,
and
the
graue
wherein
he
burieth
all
his
substance
,
for
venter

Caribdis
:
As
Diogenes
sometimes
saide

the

gulfe
wherein
many
one
drowneth
all
his
Patrimony

Solebant

In

to

and

Incense
to
the

but
the

for
now
many
maintaine

a

serue

Their
chiefest
care
is
to
prouide

,
and
their
bellies

as
Brewers
ordaine

All

all
their

in

all

The

the

their

Their

If

why

it

And
how
can

Qui

The

,
and
themselues
may
feare
one
day
with
their
fellow-glutton
to
be
most
tormented
in
their
tongues
,
because
they
haue
offended
most
in

Nothing
is
more
absurd
then
that
Epicurean
resolution
,
Let

eate

to

we
shall
die

As
if
wee

Wee

A

Of

NOthing

wealth

as
if

the
onely

procure

we
make
our selues

a

Among
other
reasons
,
why
Riches
are
so
vncertaine
,
one
is
,
because
they
are

There
are
those
who
grow

Iob
speakes
of
a
man
who
builds
his

Chap:

As
a
moath
is
made
rich
by
spoiling
the
garments
,
bookes
,
and
barkes
in
which
it
liueth
,
so
there
are
those
who
grow
rich
and
wealthy
by
deuouring
the
poore
;
thinking
with
Vespasian
,
that
gaine
is
sweete
howsoeuer
gotten
:
but
wealth
which
is
gained
by
vniust
meanes
(
like
Ionas
his
gourd
)
soone
withereth
:
the
owners
thereof
are
like
Esdras
his
visions
,
for
a
time
goodly
and
glorious
to
behold
,
but
in
a
moment
vanished

The
meaning
is
that
ill
gotten
goods
lye
vppon
the
conscience
as
rawe
meate
vpon
a
sick
stomacke
:
which
a
man
is
neuer
well
vntill
hee
hath
cast
it
vp
againe
by
restitution

As

he
that

it

But
when

God
the

This
sinne
,
though
not
so
generally
,
is
among
many
leawde
ones
as
openly
professed
as
some
honest
and
lawfull

by
this

as

many
get
their

As
that
vnwise

sometimes
spake
:
youth
must
be
borne
withall
,
And
to
followe
harlots
it
is
not
,
trust
me
,
a
fault
in
young
men
,
but
by
these
tumbling-tricks
,
they
often
breake
their

God
neuer
saide
vnto

increase
and

before

to
shewe
that

a

not
a

for
that

which
is
not

Into
this

men
are
often
drawne

Of

Among

Saint

sets
downe
this

remarkable
,

eyes
full
of
Adultery
that
cannot
cease
to
sinne
,

From
whence
some
collect
that
the
very
chayre
of
Adultery
is
seated
in
the
eye
:
but
indeede
the
eye
is
but
a

to
leade
it

Vpon
this
ground
was
founded
that
same
wise
and
wholesome
Law
of
Zaleucus
of
Locris
,
which
commanded
that
the
eyes
of
Adulterers
should
be
pulled
out
,
because
they
steale
away
the
heart
,
and
guide
,
or
counsell
men
to
vncleannesse
.
The
beauty
of
the
daughters
of
men
betrayed
the
holy
seed
;
they
saw
,
and
lusted
:
their
sinne
began
at
their
eyes
;
they
looked
,
lusted
,
sinned
,

As

draweth

snatcheth
fire
vnto
it selfe
though
farre
remoued

distant

so
the
eyes
draw
the
fire
of
Lust
to
the
Soule
,
in
a
farre
larger
distance
;
Vpon
which
consideration
Alexander
(
who
named
the
Persian
maides
dolores
oculorum
)
refused
to
haue
Darius
wife
(
a
Lady
of
incomparable
beauty
)
brought
before
him
,
fearing

he
who
had
lately
subdued
the
Husband
,
should
himselfe
in
the
ende
be
conquered
at
the
sight
of
the

This
it
was
that
moued

to
make
a

not

Wee
know
that
Idlenesse
was
one
of
the
sinnes
of
Sodome
,
this
with
others
did
help
to
lay
her
in
the
dust
:
whilst
the
Romanes
had
warres
with
Carthage
,
and
enemies
in
Affricke
,
they
knewe
not
what
vices
ment
in
Rome
.
The
time
when
the
enuious
man
did
sowe
his
tares
,
was
whilst
men
slept
.
The
Crab-fishe
(
whenas
the
Oyster
doth
open
her selfe
)
casteth
a
stone
into
her
shell
,
and
so
not
being
able
to
shut
her selfe
againe
,
becomes
a
prey
vnto
the
Crab.
The
Fathers
apply
this
vnto
the
Deuill
,
when
hee
findeth
men
gaping
and
idle
,
hee
casteth
into
them
some
stone
of
temptation
,
whereby
hee
works
their
ouerthrowe
:
The
slothfull
man
is

there

A
wise
and
auncient
Counsellor
,
sometimes
of
this
Kingdome
,
saw
asmuch
when
he
wittily
rebuked
the
manners
and
customes
of
a
strange
Countrey
not
much
differing
from
his
own
,
but
in
the
little
,
for
that
they
first
made
thieues
and
taught
them
to
steale
,
and
after
hanged
them
vp
:
They
made
thieues
saith
hee
,
in
that
they
suffered
such
a
multitude
of
Seruingmen
to
be
trained
vp
in
ydlenes
and
pride
,
who
afterwards
being
thrust
out
of
seruice
must
needes
bee
driuen
vnto
thieuery
,
for
then
(
like
their
fellowe
in
the
Gospell
)
to
digge
they
cannot
,
and
to
begg
they
are
ashamed
;
many
ruo
into
this
vice
out
of
wealth
and
abundance
,
these
with
the
Nightingale
hauing
feathered
their
neasts
sing
no
more
:
as
vnprofitable
are
they
vnto
the
world
as
Margites
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
that
he
neuer
plowed
,
nor
digged
,
nor
did
any
thing
all
his
life-long
that
might
tend
vnto
any
goodnes
.
Their
care
is
to
seeke
out
merry
company
,
and
ydle
pastimes
to
spend
away
time
:
If
otherwise
then
(
with
Domitian
)
they
fall
to
catch
flyes
;
hauing
wearied
themselues
in
this
spider
busines
,
they
get
them
out
towards
the
euening
vnto
the
fieldes
,
not
to
pray
(
like
Isaack
)
but
to
prouide
them
a
stomacke
,
which
as
they
get
vppon
other
mens
grounds
:
So
they
study
where
they
may
allay
it
at
other
mens
tables
,
and
there
they
lay
about
them
like
the
Priests
of
Bell
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
they
did
eate
and
drinke
vp
all
;
For
howsoeuer
they
are
lesse
then
women
at
their
worke
,
yet
at
their
meate
they
are
more
then
men
.
Other
ydle
bodies
there
are
who
blame
neede
,
when
but
for
sloth
they
might
worke
and
haue
enough
.
These
Caterpillers
deuoure
the
sweete
which
others
haue
swett
for
.
If
God
would
deale
with
these
iustly
,
and
men
strictly
obserue
the
Apostles
rule
,
That
he
which
would
not
worke
,
should
not
eate
.
2.
Thes:

I
thinke
as
many
would
die
of
Idlenesse
,
as
of
sicknesse
.
Pitty
it
is
that
like
Droan
bees
they
should
eate
of
the
honny
,
or
liue
in
the
hyue
,
much
lesse
swarme
and
muster
like
the
flies
and
frogges
in
Pharaohs
Kingdome
.
For
these
men
God
hath
no
blessing
,
it
was
not
said
,
call
the
loyterers
or
ydle
bodies
,
but
Call
the
labourers
and
giue
them
their
hire
:

And
none
but
labourers
had
the
penny
;
euery
man
must
haue
either
a
sweating
browe
,
or
a
working
braine
.
It
was
not
Adams
case
alone
,
but
it
is
the
case
of
euery
one
in
his
calling
,
In
sudore
vultus
.
tui
;
those
who
were
found
ydle
were
rebuked
with
a
Quid
statis
?
God
who
hath
made
nothing
to
be
ydle
,
can
endure
no
ciphers
in
his
Arethmetick
,
no
slothfull
persons
in
his
Vineyard
:
Adam
was
put
into
the
Garden
to
till
and
dresse
it
;
no
sooner
created
but
by
and
by
he
is
set
to
labour
,
:
Paradise
which
was
the
store-house
,
was
also
his
work-house
,
it
serued
not
onely
to
feed
his
senses
,
but
to
exercise
his
hands
;
All
his
delight
could
not
make
him
happy
in
an
idle
life
,
therefore
no
sooner
made
but
by
and
by
he
is
set
to
worke
.
Hee
must
labour
,
because
hee
was
happy
;
much
more
must
wee
,
that
hereafter
we
may
be
.
As
for
idle
bodies
,
whenas
like
drunken
seruingmen
,
they
haue
spent
the
allowance
of
their
lights
in
ryot
,
they
shall
at
last
goe
to
bed
darkeling
,
And
then
shall
they
weepe
and
howle
,
because
they
did
not
those
things
in
time
which
belonged
to
their
peace
.

Of

THis
Sinne
,
(
like
the
Sunshine

,
which
deluded

Dogge
)
beguileth
men
of
that
they
haue
,
with
a
vaine
hope
of
that
they
neuer
shall
haue
.
And
although
euery
day
some
buy
repentance
too
deare
,
yet
one
young
Master
,
or
other
,
is
perswaded
to
pay
aforehand
for

Pigge

for

commeth

as
Esau

Great

the
number
of

who
like
the
Deuill
are
alwaies
compassing
the
earth
,
and
dayly
goe
vp
and
downe
seeking
whom
they
may

These
are
sonnes
of
those
Locusts
,
which
haue
faces
like
the
faces
of
men
,
but
killing
stings
in
their
tailes

like
Gnatts
,
after
they
haue
made
a
sweet
kinde
of

they
euermore
sting

Not

Solinus
reports

that
it

looke
as

Though

yet

These

Of
Swearing
and
Forswearing
.
THere
are
many
liuing
that
cannot
tell
how
to
begin
to
Pray
,
and
know
not
when
to
make
an
end
of
Swearing
,
oaths
striue
for
number
with
words
,
and
no
wonder
,
Impunitas
transgressionum
nutrix
est
;
He
is
seldome
corrected
who
blasphemeth
the
dreadfull
God
:
Some
are
of
opinion
that
the
sinne
of
that
Israelite
who
was
stoned
for
Blasphemy
,
was
only
this
,
that
he
durst
name
that
ineffable
name
Iehouah
:
there
feare
could
keepe
them
from
mentioning
the
dreadfull
name
of
God
,
our
feare
cannot
bridle
vs
from
abusing
it
;
a
sinne
detested
euen
by
the
very
Heathens
.
Among
the
Egiptians
the
common
Swearer
was
to
be
beheaded
:
The
Grecians
punished
it
with
losse
of
Eares
:
But
our
righteousnes
should
exceed
the
righteousnes
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
that
so
we
may
escape
the
iudgement
denounced
by
the
Prophet
Ieremy
,
The
Land
is
full
of
Adulteries
,
and
because
of
Swearing
the
Land
mourneth

The
Light
(
not
being
a
bare
brightnes
but
a
cleere
discerner

doth
well
expresse

declare
the
nature

which
the
Grecians
call

〈◊〉

for

And
the
Latines
note
no
lesse
,
in
calling
it

Iusiurandum
,
because
a
trueth
and
nothing
but
a
trueth
is
to
be
sworne
;
as
in
calling
it
Sacramentum
they
imply
the
conscyence
we
should
make
of
it
;
a
matter
quite
forgotten
by
our
Knights
of
the
Post
;
who
(
like
Putiphars
Wife
)
doe
only
shew
the
Garments
of
an
honest
Man

prooue

haue
sprung

As
that
decree
argueth
that
in
his
time
such
vngodlines
was
feared
;
So
the
plot
of

(
who
,
writing
to
the

commaunded
them
to
set
vp
two
wicked
Men
,
Sons
of
Belial
or
Vnthrifts
as
some
translation
hath
it
suborned
Witnesses
against
the
life
of
innocent

plainely
sheweth
,
that
this
abuse
was
both
knowne
and
practised
by
those
who
should
rather
haue
sought
out
and
punished
such
Sons
of
Belial
then
haue
made
vse
of
their
falshood

Iuuenal
the
Poet
in
his
time
derided
these
lewd
and
loose
companions
,
for
betaking
themselues
to
such
professed
villanie
,
and
wished
them
rather
to
be

For
although
with
great
patience
God
beareth
with
this
intollerable
Sinne
for
a
long
season
,
yet
Tarditatem

grauitate

Gr:
They
shal
not
be
vnpunished
for

;
Truely
in
this
thing
speaketh
the
Poet
Tibullus
.
Ah!
miser

Ah
:
wretched
man
though
periuries
,
at
first
full
secret
be
:
Though
slowly
,
yet
due
penalties
,
will
come
assuredly
.
This
as
it
seemeth
was
fulfilled
in
Phillip
King
of
Macedon
his
posterity
,
whom
Pausanias
recordeth
to
haue
fallen
into
many
miseries
and
very
great
calamities
,
because
hee
made
no
conscience
to
violate
and
falsifie
his
oathes
:
Eusebius
in
his
6.
Booke
8.
Cap
:
reports
how
three
lewd
varlets
accused
Narcissus
a
holy
and
reuerend
Bishop
of
a
haynous
crime
,
and
confirmed
their
accusations
with
oathes
;
the
first
swore
,
If
I
lie
let
mee
bee
burned
to
ashes
.
The
second
,
If
I
report
not
the
truth
,
let
me
be
consumed
with
some
cruell
disease
:
The
third
,
If
I
beare
false
witnesse
,
let
me
be
smitten
with
blindnesse
.
In
processe
of
time
,
God
punished
their
periuries
by
wrapping
them
in
the
same
curses
which
they
had
wished
to
themselues
;
The
first
,
had
his
house
fired
in
the
night
,
wherewith
he
and
all
his
family
were
burnt
:
The
second
had
the
Iaundice
whereof
he
died
most
vncomfortably
:
The
third
seeing
the
miserable
end
of
the
other
two
(
though
he
repented
and
confessed
the
conspiracy
,
)
yet
hee
lost
his
sight
and
became
blinde
with
weeping
.
God
in
Iustice
oftentimes
taks
men
at
their
word
,
and
effects
that
which
their
lippes
speake
against
their
hearts
.
There
is
no
better
remedie
against
false
swearing
,
then
not
to
sweare
at

not
to
accustome
our selues
to

August

The
admonition
in

not

As
for
those
who
make
no
conscience
of
an
oath
,
but
will
sweare
and
forsweare
for
the
wages
of
vnrighteousnes
,
I
wish
them
no

then
that
which
Phillip
of

inflicted

Euen
Ioseph
by
liuing
in

learne
to

Peter
being

high
Priests
seruants
did
deny
his
Master
,
Quanto
calescebatigne

tanto
frigescebat

The
warmer
hee
was
by
the
high
Priests
fire
,
the
colder
he
was
in
loue
to
his
Master
:
Commisti

said
Dauid
of
the
people
of
God
;
what
was
the
issue
?
and
they
learned
their
workes
.
If
we
be
companions
to
Ostridges
wee
shall
sauour

their
wildnesse
,
as
they
who
sleepe

shal
swarme

.
One
Corah
did
but
kindle
the
fire
of
conspiracy
,
and
presently
two
hundreth

fiftie
Captaines
brought
sticks
to
increase
it
.
A
leawd
man
is
a
most
pernicious
creature
,
hee
commonly
drawes
vengeance
vpon
others
,
either
by
the
desert
of
his
sinne
,
or
by
the
infection
of
it

So
venemous
is
wickednesse
(

it
lights

Gods
people

that
one
dram

it

able
to
corrupt
the
whole

Saint

therefore
giueth
this
wholesome
admonition

(

some
Diuines

least
his
vnbelieuing
kindred
(
who
would
bee
present
at
his

Funerall
)
should
corrupt
him
againe
,
and
so
hee
should
die
with
them
:
bad
men
keepe
others
from
goodnesse
as
those
dead
carkasses
did
the
Rauen
from
Noahs
Arke
:
Runne
wee

Moses

a

we
ioyne

Of

ENuy
in

it

the

it

it
is

that

it
is

Felicity
and

(
which
are
the

are

to
haue

a

neuer
sleeping
because

I
then
abhorre
this
Monster

But
when
I
consider
the
delicate
food
whereon
the
enuious

I
then
abhorre
and
hate
him
:
for
the
enuious
man
is
fed
with
the
daintiest
food
that
may
be
:
hee
feedeth
on
his

:
for
there
was
neuer
Enuy

if

it

FLatterers

their

is

There

the
Slanderer
,
and
the

these
destroy
the
Vines

&
bring
destruction
to
the
sonnes
of
men
,
the
Flatterer
tickleth
his
friends
to
death
,
stealing
goodnesse
from
them
by
his
intising
speeches
,
as
Absolon
stole
the
hearts
of
the

by
flattering
words
.
This
man
is
a
friend
for
his
owne
occasion
.
Like
the
Polipus
hee
turneth
himselfe
into
any
colour
for
aduantage
.
For
a
crust
this
Spaniell
will
fawne
vpon
any
man
:
but
if
a
storme
of
affliction
beginnes
to
beat
vpon
thee
,
this
sommer-bird
sings
no
more
:
hee
hath
the
persons
of
men
in
admiration
because
of
aduantage
:
The
Asse
which
carried
the
Egyptian
Goddesse
,
had
many
bared
heads
,
and
bended
knees
;
yet
none
to
the
beast
,
but
all
to
the
burthen
;
if
there
be
no
honny
in
the
gallypott
,
these
waspes
will
no
longer
houer
about
it
,
but
flye
and
runne
from
it
as
Myce
from
an
empty
barne
,
or
Lice
from
a
dead
body
which
hath
neither
heate
nor
moisture
:
they
deceiue
others
and
maintaine
themselues
(
like
Tobacco-sellers
)
with
a
litle
smoake
;
it
were
no
great
iniustice
with
smoake
to
choake
them
:
So
Alexander
Seuerus
(
a
great
enemy
to
flatterers
)
serued
one
Turinus
,
who
had
craftily
gotten
many
great
bribes
and
guifts
in
making
the
people
beleeue
that
hee
was
of
great
authority
with
the
Emperour
,
and
could
helpe
them
to
whatsoeuer
they
sued
for
,
whereof
the
Emperour
being
certified
,
caused
him
in
the
open
Market
to
bee
fastened
to
a
stake
and
there
killed
him
with
smoake
.
The
Cryer
thus
crying
to
the
people
,
Fumo
pereat
qui
fumum
vendidit
,
Smoake
he
sold
,
and
with
smoake
hee
is
choaked
