Without law for it is rebellious without measure for it delights in extreames without reason for it doth all things with precipitation The proud man is bitten of the mad dogge the flatterer and hence runs on a garget Causes THe Pleurisie is caused of an abundance of hote blood flowing vnnaturally to the foresayd place or by the engendring of cold grosse and viscous humours gathered into the voyd place of the brest or into the lungs This spirituall disease ariseth from a blown opinion of ones selfe which opinion is either from ignorance of his owne emptinesse and so like a Tumbrell full of nothing but aire makes a greater sound then a vessell of precious liquour or from arrogance of some good which the owner knows too well He neuer lookes short of himselfe but always beyond the mark and offers to shoote further then he looks but euer fals two bowes short humilitie and discretion Signes and Symptomes THe Symptomes of the Pleurisie are difficult breathing a continuall Feuer a vehement pricking on the affected side The proud man is knowne by his gate which is peripateticall strutting like a new Church warden He thinkes himselfe singularly wise but his opinion is singular and goes alone In the company of good wits he fenceth in his ignorance with the hedge of silence that obseruation may not climbe ouer to see his follies He would haue his iudgment for wearing his apparell passe vnmended not vncommended Hee shifts his attire on some solemne day twice at least in twelue houres but cannot shift himselfe out of the Mercers bookes once in twelue moneths His greatest enuy is the next Gentlemans better clothes which if he cannot better or equallize he weares his owne neglected His apparell carries him to Church without deuotion and he riseth vp at the Creed to ioyne with the rest in confession not of his faith but his pride for sitting downe hides much of his brauery He feeds with no cheerfull stomake if he sit not at the vpper end of the table and be cald young master where he is cōtent to rise hungry so the obseruant company weary him with drinking to on this condition he giues his obligation for the shot Hee loues his lying glasse beyond any true friend and tels his credulous auditors how many Gentlewomen haue runne mad for him when if a base femall seruant should court him I dare wager he proues no Adonis If he were to die on the block as Byron he would giue charge for the composition of his lockes Pride PRide is of the feminine gender therefore the more intolerable in a masculine nature much Ciuet is vnsauory Nō bene olet quae bene semper olet She that breaths perfumes artificially giues her selfe to haue naturally corrupted lungs This woman hath neither her owne complexion nor proportion for she is both painted and poynted together She sits moderator euery morning to a disputatiō betwixt the combe and the glasse and whether concludes best on her beauty caries her loue and prayse Howsoeuer of men saith the Poet Forma viros neglecta decet Indeed there is no gracefull bahauiour like humilitie This fault is well mended when a man is well minded that is when he esteemes of others better then himselfe Otherwise a proud man is like the rising earth in montenous places this swels vp monte as he mente and the more either earth aduanceth it selfe perpetually they are the more barren Hee liues at a high saile that the puffy praises of his neighbors may blow him into the inchanted Iland vaineglory He shines like a Gloeworme in a darke village but is a crude thing when he comes to the Court. If the plethorie swels him in the veine of valour nothing but well-beating can hold him to a man If euer hee goes drunke into the field and comes off with a victorious parlee hee would swell to a sonne of Anak Cure THe Pleurisie is cured by drawing out some bloud frō the veine that hath relation to the affected part A Clister is very good together with some fomentations It is helped much by cupping I doe not meane drinking God prescribes the cure of Pride by precept and patterne Precept Humble your selues vnder the mighty hand of God the reason is giuen for God resisteth the proud and giueth grace to the humble Patterne Take my yoke vpon you and learne of me for I am meeke and lowly in heart and you shall find rest vnto your soules The Master is worth your hearing the lesson your learning the recompence your receiuing The cure hereof is hard for all vices are against humilitie nay all vertues are against humilitie as many are proud of their good deeds nay humilitie hath an opposition against humilitie as if she were false to her owne person Saepe homo de vanae gloriae contemptu vanus gloriatur so that often humility by a prodigious and preposterous birth brings forth pride Pride doth make a wise-man a foole cōtinues him a foole that is so the opinion of his owne wisedome excluding all opportune possibility of receiuing knowledge Powre precious iuice into a vessell full of base liquor and it runs besides That instruction is split which you offer to infuse into a soule so full of selfe affectation Many a man had proued wise if he had not so thought himselfe If the ayre of his pride bee inclosed in a baser bubble attire it is the more vile for the generation of his sinne is produced from the corruption of himselfe God made him a man he hath made himselfe a beast and now the Taylor scarce a man himselfe must make him a man againe a braue man a better man than euer Nature left him Thus he is like the Cynamon tree the bark is better then the body or some Vermine whose case is better then the carkase For his cure open his pleuriticke veine with the sacrificing knife of the Law and tell him that the cause of his pride is the effect of his sinne That wickednesse brought shame to nakednesse and apparell hides it whereof being proud he glories in his own halter Strip him of his gawdy clothes and put him in a Charnel house where he may reade visible lectures of mortality and rottennesse Palsey and timorous suspicion Disease 9. THe former sicke were Tumidi these are Timidi they were bold to all euill these are fearefull to all good The palsey is a disease wherein one halfe of the body is endamaged in both sense and mouing Of that disease which is called Paralysis Resolution or the dead palsey wherin somtimes sense alone is lost somtimes motion alone and somtimes both together perish I intend not to speake It is proportion considered more dangerous to the body then I would imagine this disease to be to the soule I would cōpare it to that corporal infirmity which Physicians call Tremorem and some vulgarly the palsey wherein there is a continuall shaking of the extremer parts somewhat aduerse to the dead

heires shall neuer be sought after His vessell hath three leakes a lasciuious eye a gaming hand a deified belly and to content these hee can neither rule his heart nor his purse When the shot comes to be payd to draw in his company is a quarrel When he feeles want for till then he neuer sees it he complaines of Greatnes for ingratitude that hee was not thought of when promotions were a dealing When his last acre lies in his purse he proiects strange things and builds houses in the ayre hauing sold those on the ground he turnes malecontent and shifts that hee neuer had Religion If hee haue not learn'd those trickes that vndid him Flattery and Cheating he must needs presse himselfe to the warres Hee neuer before considered adposse but advelle and now hee forgets velle and lookes onely to posse Take him at first putting forth into his sea of wealth and profusenesse and his fulnesse giues him Languentis stomachum quem nulla ciborum Blandimenta mouent quem nulla inuitat orexis His stomach so rasping since his last meale that it growes too cowardly to fight with a chicken then he cals for sport like sawce to excite appetite and when all failes thinks of sleepe lyes downe to finde it and misseth it In the conniuence of his securitie harlots and sycophants rifle his estate and then send him to robbe the hogges of their prouander Ioues nuts acornes In short time he is dismounted from his coach disquantitied of his traine distasted of his familiars distressed of his riches distracted of his wits and neuer proues his owne man till he hath no other At last after his houering flight hee drops to a center which is a roome in the Almes house that his father built Cure FOr his Cure I will not meddle with his estate I know not how to cure that but for his soule let him first take a pill of Repentance for howsoeuer hee hath scowr'd his estate he hath clog'd his conscience and it must be purged Binde vp his vnruly hands so lauish and letting flye Pull off from his eyes that filme of errour that hee may distinguish his reproouing friends from his flattering enemies Coole his luxurious heate with Solomons after-course the banket of his pleasures being done that for al these things God will bring him to iudgement That beggerie is the heire apparant of riote as the yonger sonne in the Gospell wee haue too many such yonger brothers That his answer to those that admonish his frugalitie is built vpon a false ground My goods are my owne as the Parasites said of their tongs whereas he is not a Lord but a Steward and must one day reddere rationem dispensationis The bill of his reckoning will bee fearefull Item for so many oathes Item for so many lies Item for drunkennesse Item for lust c. Nay and Item for causing so many Tauerne Items which were worse then Physicke bils to his estate To conclude if Death finde him as Bankerout of spirituall as of worldly goods it will send him to an eternall prison The Iaundeis and Profanenesse Disease 14. ICterus or the Iaundeis is a spreading of yellow choler or melancholy all ouer the body To this I compare Profanenesse which is an epidemiall and vniuersall spreading of wickednesse throughout all powers of the soule Cause THe Iaundeys is caused sometimes accidentally when the bloud is corrupted by some outward occasiō with out a Feuer or through inflammation and change of the naturall temperament of the liuer or through obstruction of the passages which goe to the bowels c. The causes of Profanenesse are an affected ignorance a dead hart a sensuall disposition an intoxicate reason an habituated delight in sinne without sense without science without conscience Signes and Symptomes THe Symptomes of both the Iaundeys and Profanenesse need no description their externall appearance discolouring the one the skinne the other the life saue both Physicians much labour if it be true that the knowledge of the disease is halfe the cure He hath sold himselfe to wickednesse for the price of a little vanity like Ahab or let a Lease not to expire without his life At first sight you would take him for a man but he will presently make you change that opinion for Circe's cup hath transform'd him His eyes are the casements that stand continually open for the admission of lusts to the vncleane rest of his heart His mouth is the diuels trumpet and sounds nothing but the musicke of hell His hand is besmeared with aspersions of bloud lust rapine theft as if all the infernall serpents had disgorged their poysons on it Hee loues Sathan extremely and either swimmes to him in bloud or sailes in a vessell of wine His heauen is a Tauerne whence hee neuer departs till hee hath cast vp the reckoning Hee is ready to sweare there is no God though hee sweares perpetually by him Religion is his footstoole and Policy his horse Appetite his huntsman Pleasure his game and his dogges are his senses He endeuours by the continuance of his sports to make the motion of pleasure circular and the flame of his delight round as the Moone at full and full as bright The point of his heart is touched with the Load-stone of this world and he is not quiet but toward the North the scope of wickednesse He hath bowled his soule at the marke of sensuality and runs to hell to ouertake it If the diuell can maintaine him a stocke of thoughts let him alone for execution though to bastard his owne children and water on his fathers graue To conclude he is but a specialtie of hell antedated and striues to be damned before his time Cure HIs Physick as in some Iaundeis must be strong of operation for the drynesse of the ones stomacke of the others conscience doth eneruate the force of medicines The speciall intentions of his cure are strong purgations and bloud-letting If the law of God doth not purge out this corruption from his heart let him bloud by the law of man manacle his hands shackle his feete dispute vpon him with arguments of yron and steele let him smart for his blasphemyes slanders quarrels whoredomes and because he is no allowed Chirurgion restraine him from letting bloud Musle the Wolfe let him haue his chaine and his clogge bind him to the good behauiour and if these vsuall courses will not learne him continence sobrietie peace try what a New-gate and a grate will doe If nothing let vs lament his doome Their end is damnation whose God is their bellie and whose glorie is in their shame who minde earthly things Apoplexie and Securitie Disease 15. THe Apoplexie is a disease wherin the fountain originall of all the finewes being affected euery part of the body loseth both mouing sense all voluntary functions hindred as the wheels of a clocke when the poyse is down To this I liken Securitie which though it be not sudden
