Profession nothing in Practise 4. His Father sayes A mixt Education suits Imployment best Scholers and Cittzens by a too long plodding in the same track have their Experience seldom dilated beyond the Circle of a narrow Profession c. I Answer There is no Syntax between a Cap of Maintainance and a Helmet Although we have caution enough against these mixt multitudes in sad and frequent experience these latter Ages groaning under an Exorbitant Clergy Yet such is the easiness and Credulity of the Vulgar such the subtilety and dissembling sanctity of the Imposture that he meets with as great a pronesse in the People to be cozen'd as he brings willingnesse to delude For it is a true Observation that these Clancular Sermocinators bear as great sway in Popular minds and make as deep impression upon their Consciences as the Loyalists does when they impose upon their blind Layty I suspect this Clerical Statist that makes him that cannot deceive ignorant how to live 5. I have observed in Collegiate Discipline c I Answer Here he fancies the Habite of the Jesuites as the principal men to perfect Patience and Obedience in Youth when I suspect him in the dispensation of Sacred Oracles who as it is said tampers with Secular affairs of no Concernment to his Auditors Souls but this Discipline is the common skreen of his private designe 6. If a more profitable Imployment pull you not too soon from the Vniversity c. I Answer Here he would have his Son make some inspection into Physick which will make him welcome If he know but how to make a Suppository to please a Lady he will be reverenced beyond a Holy Father or the Vicar of the Parish 7. Do not prosecute beyond a superficial Knowledge any Learning that moves upon no stronger Legs then the tottering basis of Conjecture is able to afford it c. I Answer Learning is like a River Sir whose head being far in the Land is at the first Rising little and easily veiwed but still as you go it gapeth with a wider Bank not without pleasure and a delightfull winding while it is on both sides set with Trees and the Beauties of various Flowers but still the further you follow it the deeper and broader it is till at last it in waves it self in the unfathom'd Ocean In many things you may sound Nature in the shallows of her Revelations we may trace her in her second Causes but beyond them we meet with nothing but the Misteries of the holy company of un-bodied Souls which have and some not yet have been bodied and this puzzels your clog'd Spirit and dazels your minds dim eyes which peeps through the Body 8. Huge Vollumnes like the Ox roasted whole in Bartholmew Fair may proclaim plenty of Labour and Invention but afford lesse of what is delicate savory and well concocted then smaller peeces c. I Answer Idle Books like you Natural Knave and Artificial Dissembler are nothing else but corrupted Tales in Ink and Paper And indeed your vicious Books sent abroad makes him that reads them Conscious of a double injury they being in effect like that bruitish sin of Adultery for if One reads Two are catch'd He that Angles in these Waters is sure to strike the Torpedo that instead of being his Food confounds him Besides the time ill spent in them a twofold reason shall make you refrain both in regard to your own Soul and pitty unto him that made them for if you be corrupted by them the Composer of them is mediately a cause of your ill and at the day of reckoning though now dead must give an account for it because you are corrupted by his bad example which he leaves behind him so you become guilty by receiving he by thus conveying this lewdnesse unto you He is the Theef you the Receiver and what difference makes our Law betwixt them If one be cut off the other dyes both perish Write not like him lest you hurt those that come after you Read not his Books lest you augment his mulct A lame Hand is better then a lewd Pen And his foolish Sentences dropt upon Paper in Advice to his Son hath set Folly on a Hill and is a Monument to make Women Infamous eternal 9. As the Grave hides the fault of Physick c. I Answer Here he commends modern Authors which I should more doubt of Knavery who for the most part subborn Scripture to attest or incite to illegal actions as of kin to that which John Heydon calls very fitly Religio sum Scelus Religious wickedness 10. Be conversant in the Speeches Declarations and Transactions occasioned by the last Wars I Answer He adviseth you to such Pamphlets would hardly passe Muster with a Scotch Stationer in a sieve full of Ballads and Godly Bewks full of such Reports as contradict Truth and defame a good Title as well as most of our Modern Noble men Those Went of Greatness The Body Politicks most Peccant humours they blistered into Lord 11. A few Books well Studied c. I Answer Some men read Books you crampt Compendium as Gentlemen use Flowers only for delight and smell to please their fancy and refine their Tongue others like the Bees extract only the Hony the wholsome precepts and this alone they bear away leaving the rest as little worth the one of these instructs his mind and the other tells what he hath Learned it is pitty they should be divided He that hath worth in him and cannot express it is as a Chest keeping a rich Jewel and the Key lost Concealing Goodness is Vice A good stile with wholesome matter is a fair Woman with a vertuous Soul which attracts the eyes of all The good man thinks Chastly and loves her Beauty for her Vertue which he still thinks more fair for dwelling in so fair an out-side The Vicious man hath Lustfull thoughts and he would for her Beauty fain destroy her Vertue but comming to solicite his purpose finds such Divine Lectures from her Angels Tongue and those delivered with so sweet a pleasing Modesty that he thinks Vertue is dissecting her Soul to him to ravish man with a Beauty which he dream'd not of so he could curse himself for desiring that lewdly which he hath learned since only to admire and reverence Thus he goes away better that came with an intent to be worse Quaint phrases on a good subject are baits to make an ill man Vertuous How many men seeking these vilely have found themselves Convertites 12. It is an Sphorisme in Physick c. I Answer This concerns the Wits of the Town which he advises his Son to Converse with to refine his Spirit better then Books It may be so and I beleeve they will sell him Wit dearer then Stationers their Books And we know what they say of Bought Wit 13.
