Survey A PREFATORY VIEW OF THE LIFE OF Mr Geo. Herbert c. THE AUTHOUR TO THE READER BEing desirous thorow the Mercy of GOD to please Him for whom I am and live and who giveth mee my Desires and Performances and considering with my self That the way to please him is to feed my Flocke diligently and faithfully since our Saviour hath made that the argument of a Pastour's love I have resolved to set down the Form and Character of a true Pastour that I may have a Mark to aim at which also I will set as high as I can since hee shoots higher that threatens the Moon then hee that aims at a Tree Not that I think if a man do not all which is here expressed hee presently sinns and displeases God but that it is a good strife to go as farre as wee can in pleasing of him who hath done so much for us The Lord prosper the intention to my selfe and others who may not despise my poor labours but add to those points which I have observed untill the Book grow to a compleat Pastorall 1632. GEO. HERBERT A Prefatory View of the LIFE and VERTUES of the AUTHOUR AND Excellencies of This BOOK To the Christian more designedly to the Clergy-Reader of the same Time and Rank and Mind and in like Condition with the Epistler Grace c. and Recovery and Profit by the ensuing Tract My poor and deer Brother DO not expect I humbly beseech thee the High and Glorious Titles of Companion in tribulation and in the patience of JESUS c. I could most willingly if I thought that I could truely give thee them knowing that what lustre I cast upon thee would by rebound lite upon my self But my mouth is stopped Let God be true and the Justice of God be Justified 1. The reading of those piercing Scriptures 1 Sam. 2. 3. chap. Jer. 23. Exek 3. 33. Hos 4. Mal. 2. 2 The view of this ensuing Tract which mee thinks is not a Book of 37 Chapters but a Bill of seven times 37 Indictments against thee and me a strange Speculum Sacerdotale in its discovery me thinks something resembling the secret of the holy Urim As if this good Bezaleel had invented a living pure looking-Glasse in most exact proportions of Beauty that should both present it self as a Body of unblemished perfections and shew all the beholders deformities at once that should shew thee both Aaron in the Holy of Holyes before the Mercy-Seat in all his pure Ornaments and Hophni or Phineas ravening for their Fees of Flesh and wallowing in their lust at the door of the Tabernacle 3 The reflecting on common Conversation in the day of our prosperity and the paralelling the Book of mine own Conscience with the Authors Book in both which I finde my self not to say Thee written highly defective in every duty the good man commends and not a little peccant in every particular taxed by him These three have convinced and even inforced me to confesse that I am sure mine and I fear thy sufferings are not the meer sufferings of pure and perfect Martyrs but of Grievous Transgressors Not only under the rods of Gods just judgment but the scorpions of his heavy displeasure fierce wrath and sore Indignation Not only from the smoaking of Gods jealousie or the sparks of his Anger but the flames of his furnace heat seven times more then ever yea even from the Furiousnesse of the wrath of God Psal 78.50 Gods sinking the Gates his destroying the wals his slighting the strong holds of Zion his polluting the Kingdom his swallowing the Palaces his cutting off the Horn of Israel Gods hating our Feasts his abominating our Sabboths his loathing our solemnities Esa 1. Gods forgetting his Footstool his abhorring his Sanctuary his casting off his Altar are to me signes that the glory of God is departed to the Mountain Ezek. 11.23 That God hath in the indignation of his anger despised the King and the Priest Lam. 2. It must be acknowledged sure that the hand of God hath gone out against us more then against others of our Rank at other times at least that God hath not restrained violence against us so as he did that against those of our Profession in the dayes of old The portion of the Egyptian Priests that served the Oxe the Ape and the Onion escaped sale in time of the Famine Learned Junius in his Academia Chap. 4. sayes that the Philistines spared the Schooles of the Prophets in their Warrs with Israel and that the Phoenicians Caldeans and Indians were tender over such places Thus then did God restraine the spirits of Princes yet that God who in his own Law Lev. 25.32 gave the Levits a special priviledg of redeeming Lands sold by themselves at any time when other Tribes were limited to a set Time hath not stayed the madnesse of the people against us but that our portions are sold unto others
