in hand For to describe in euery part the Body of a Man Both inwardly and outwardly from topp to toe and than Compareth it vnto an House that hath in it great store Of needfull thinges well gouerned by one of worth and more Applyeth euery part which in the Body wee do see Vnto some necessarie thing which in an House should bee And furthermore report doth goe If we may credite fame That he that made this Symilie so aptly did it frame That it vnto a Common-wealth compared well may bee Much more thereof besides wee heare which is the cause that wee Do hither come and for asmuch as that it is a lore That hath not yet in such a sort been dealt withall before By any man wherefore we craue if you the partie bee That deales herein you will declare the same in each degree And for a new experience I will the same forth show And I too quoth Philotimus thincke to applie it so As that some good and godly vse may of the same be made And thus when as this auntient man his minde hereof had sayd Vpon this aunswer then my selfe did make him this replie The authors reply Your reasons which you heere alledge I can not well denie Yet cause of great discouragment I see before my face For why the Curious they will carpe and seeke for to disgrace The thing which now you do perswade thereof the setting foorth And say that I for want of skill haue made it nothing woorth And some will thinke me arrogant because I vndertake To wright hereof and make report that for vaine glories sake I do the same whereas in deede the Truth is otherwise The cause why the Authar did deuise this Booke For why the onely cause for which I did the same deuise Was for mine onely priuate vse that many times thereby By meditating of the same my selfe might edifie And though my paines shall not to some do any good at all Yet su●r I am that harme thereby shall not to any fall Which maketh mee the willinger with you to condiscend Hoping you will as you haue said herein your ayde me lend The authors application of this his former deuise Almighty God in Paradice when he created man Of Soule and eke of Body both he did create him than With Sence he did this Soule indue which was celestiall And eke with Reason for to rule the Body there withall A similitude This Body then I say is like an House in each degree The Soule the owner of the House I do account to bee As touching first this Body then I did of late declare A comparisō It like an House in euery poynt but now I will compare or Body This House vnto a Common wealth Or as a Cittie faire Or like a Corporation consisting of a Mayer And many other Officers there needefull to be had And Commons too amongst the which are people good and bad And therefore need of gouernment such people for to guide And as each Towne and Common wealth Or Cittie hath beside Appoynted places for to kepe their Courtes of Common law Yea and their Courts of Conscience too to kepe these men in awe So hath each House his magistrates or Body and officers to serue Yea Commons too and places fitt for Courts which do deserue Good magistrates to sit in them But let vs first of all Speake of the Chifest Seate which late thou sawest in the Hall or Body The Heart of man is the Court of good Censcience when Grace sitteth there as chiefe Iustice These be the ordinary attendants vpon the court of a good Conscience Viz. Good thoughts The chiefest Seate in euery House it is the Hart of man VVherein if that the Sperit of Grace do sit as Iudge euen than The Court of Conscience very well we may it call but see These Officers vpon this Court allwayes attendant bee Good thoughts and motions of the minde and next to these proceede Another sort of Officers Good words Good de●des Fayth L●ue. Charitie Obedience Care to liue vprightly Patience Godly feare Mercie Hope Thankfulnes Pittie Good wordes and eke Good deedes Yea Faith and Loue and Charitie Obedience and Care To liue vpright and Pacience and eke a Godly Feare And Mercy that most willingly forgiueth euery wrong And Hope that lookes for happie life although delayes be long And Thankefulnesse that w●th goodwill doth benefites requite And Pittie that compasion takes of those in ruthfull plight Vertue Meekenes Innocencie And Vertue that doth Vice abhorre and Meekenes eke so milde That loues to be as Innocent as any little Childe And many such like Officers vpon this Iudge attend To execute his warrants when he doth abroad them sende And if all these doe faythfully their offices why shall We not of right such officers Good Officers them call But when out of this Court alas The cause why Grace fayle vs is our owne corruption this rightuous Iudge is gone For many times he doth depart and leaue this Court alone Because the Seate wherein this Iudge doth vse to sit is seene Oft times to be corrupted By originall Sinne. and defiled and vncleene Another straight vsurpes the roomth Wh●n Grace doth ●aile ths Diuell preuaile and sitting in the place Workes all the meanes he can deuise the Court for to deface Much like vnto the Parrable which we in Mathew reede A Parable Of one that sowed in his ground both good and perfect Seede But while men slept his Enemie vpon this Land did sow Great store of Tares among the Wheate and then away did goe So Sathan with his hellish crue this place doth enter in And sitting there as Magistrate his Court he doth begin About him then flocks all his traine these be companions to the court of a bad Conscience viz. Bride Disdaine L●●tines Scorne Contempt Ambition Vaine-glory Enuie Malice Spight like to a swarme of Bees Of Baylifes and of Officers the names of whom be these Pride and Disdaine and Loftines and Scorne and eke Contempt Ambition with Vaine-glorie which great matters do attempt Then Enuie yea and Mallice too and Spight that peeuish else Who sre●teth that another should be better then himselfe Couetousnes Then Couetousnes is called for who like a Miser old Comes limping in and in his hand a mightie bagg of Gold Robberie And Robberie that vse to stand hard by the hig-wayes side Theft And sneaking Theft that in the darke doth seeke him selfe to hide And those that know how for to hoord Hoording of mony and hide their mony well Thinking that they the same with them shall carry into Hell Vsurie And Vsurie that greedie-gutt that eateth vp the poore Simonie And Symonie that Cleargie mate and many others more Wrath. And Wrath with his allyances Murther and Murder which doth kill Both friend and foe maliciously and with pretended ill Banning

Cursing And Banning yea and Cursing both whose customes are to craue More Plagues to light on other folkes then they themselues would haue Furie Then Furie in his franticke mood came squaring into Court And brought with him in companie Disorder Disorder and a sort Swearing Of Swearing mates that straight the Court was brought in such a rage Belzabub That scarce could Belzabub himselfe his Officers asswadge Yet Crueltie for all this coyle Cruelti could scant be pacified Vntill that with inflamed eyes his Lust he had espied Lust For Lust doth to this Court belong her vse is to allure Lasciuiousnes shee Wantonnes lasciuiousnes and Wantonnes procure Wantonnes Concupisence to come with her Concupisence into the Court and there Foule Ribaldrie her filthy talke Ribaldrie no whit at all doth spare Then enters in Idolatrie Idolatrie who is so farr begone With blinded loue of Images that many times a Stone A Stocke a peece of Lead of Brasse of Siluer or of Gold Hee worships as his God and doth it for his Sauiour hold Heere Witchcraft came Witchcraft Sorcerie Coniuration Gluttonie Drunkennes Adulterie Fornication Incest Buggerie Heresie Errour Hipocrisie a withered wretch who alwayes beares a minde To spoyle another though it selfe thereby no profite finde And Sorcerie with Charmes do vse and poysoned Drinkes likewise And Coniuration causing Spirits in Circles for to rise And Gluttonie that onely ioyes in ●ase and belly-cheare And Drunkennes that reeling goes with belly blowne with Beere Adulterie which maringe bed of Hone●tie doth spoyle And Fornication that doth chast Virginitie defyle And Incest which with kindred neere to lie no sinne it thinke And Buggerie that beastly sinne for which did Sodome sinke And Heresie that doth vphold and stoutly doth mayntaine False errours in Religion and eke opinions vaine At last comes in Hipocrisie who outwardly doth show A face of faigned holines though deedes be nothing so And many other Officers did to this Court belong Which for to tell them all by name it would be very long Anone vnto the Court againe the rightuous Iudge did come But when he saw such wicked wights possessed in the roome A Battaile betwixt the flesh and the spirit Hee did commaund his Officers in no wise for to spare But thrust them out with violence the other side prepare With force for to resist and then a Battell they did trie When Grace drawes me the Diuell must flie But yet at length the wicked ones constrayned were to flie Much like vnto the Battell which Saint Iohn hath to vs tould Which in his Reuelations he saith he did behould How Michaell and his Angells did A similitude a Mightie Battell fight With Sathan and his hellish impes and put them all to flight Lo thus quoth I then very well we may behould and see A Court of Consience in each House Or Body is nedefull for to be Aswell as in a Common Wealth or in a Cittie large If for to rule and gouerne well we minde to take the charge And now the Court of Common Law The Court of common law I meane for to declare Both what it is and where it 's kept and who the Iudges are what officers on it attend and for to shew likewise Who are disturbers of this Court for many times arise Both quarrels and Contentions there by some of euell fame For Vertue crossed is by Vice contrary to the same Within the Turret of each House there doth a Chamber lie Which Chamber round about is seeld as white as Iuory With in the same the Court is kept and in this Court doth sitt The foure cardinal vertues wherby we should gouerne alll our common affaies described Fower Iudges all of worthy fame and for the place most fiitt The Chefe of them is Iustice cald who doth vprightly heare Both rich and poore not ledawry with malice loue or feare The second Prudence hath to name whose wisdome doth foresee To sounde the deapth of euery cause least ought mistaken be Then Temperance whose mildnes doth both moderate each thing And driueth Discord out of Court and doth Good order bring The last is Fortitude whose force and Courage doth defend The Iustnes of the Inocent and makes the stubberne bende The officers which to this Court. attending I did see Their names be these or such as these I wishe them all to be Plaine-dealing stands in Court and shewes the title of the Cause And craueth nothing but the righte according to the Lawes Then Expedion doth desier with speed an ende to haue Of all his long and teadious sute Expences for to saue And Pittie pleades for Pouertie in Forma pauperis The right vse of all those that are to be imployed in any court And looketh for no stipend nor for any fee for this Then Charitie for concord calls perswading to agree And wils them for to leaue their sutes and friends againe to be Content then tells his Client thus I hunt not after gaines Giue what you will amodicum shall please me for my paines But yet a mongst these officers do many times resort Vnto this Court a nother Crue of naughtipacks a sort VVho by their shiftes and pollices do compas so the same That oft they do disturbe the Court and bring it out of frame The Sundry abusees of many that are imployed in Courtes described For Fraud seekes with his suttle shifts plaine-dealing to disgrace And trifles much on many points that riseth in the Case Delaie coms dallying in with drifts demaunding furder day All though his Clyent hath before informd him what to say Discorde Then Discord mooues Contentions and bids them go to law Why put you vp of wrong saith he the value of a straw Affection Asection thus vnto his friend in secret sort doth tell Let me alone what ere it be your matter shall go well Feare Your aduersarie then saith Feare he is a man of might Haue pacience I sorry am I may not do you right Ambo dexter And Dexter deales deceitfully of Ambo taking fees And cares not so that he might gaine though both of them do leese Briberie And Bribery bestirs him there as busie as a Bee And thinks by giuing giftes to blind the eyes of Equitie By Couler of his office though Extortion Extortion doth the wrong Yet saith he takes no more then to his office doth belong And many more such busie mates do in this Court abide Vnder the Cloake of honestie seeking themselues to hide The hart Whom though the Iudges many times do banish out of Court And punish them as they deserue yet still they will resort For as they haue been in this Court time out of minde of man So still in Court they will bee do the Iudges what they can Title of prescription Loe thus you see of keeping Court in euery House the neede Now of
