Mother that thy dayes may be long in the land which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee Let ingratfull children goe look on that wondrous worke of Nature and of Loue the young Cigonz●is will vomet vp their meate from their stomach to nurisch their parens when they are oulde and can not flee Looke to all beasts by Nature what loue they cary one to another what mutuall concord in their owne kinde and how much more ought reasonable creatures the Parents to the children and the children to the Parents Ye Parents saieth S. Paul prouoke not your children to wrath Meaning be over great austeirnes when Parents and Children liues all in peace and quyetnes and in charitable concord O how good a thing is it saieth the Scripture and how joyfull is it to see brethren and sisters and the whole family to liue in loue and peace they eate their bread with sweete contentment and spends their dayes in great happines But woe be to seditious tail-tellers to leying lippes to harkners and rounders to back-byters and slanderers who are sowers of dissention and with their wicked and malitious tongues are inventers of mischeif The wisdome of GOD saith A wicked person soweth strife and a tail-teller maketh dissention It is vpon such wicked instruments that the great GOD hath promest to raine fire and brimstone with stormie tempests this shall be the portion of their cup with many more greevous and endlesse torments which are provided for detracters and slanderers All beastes are tamde be man but the tongue no man can tame it is an vnruely euill full of deadly poysone Contentment is great wealth and sobreatie with loue is better then Kingdomes with strife I had rather dwell with a Lion then keepe house with a wicked wife And againe saith the Scripture A wicked wife maketh a sory heart an heauy countenance and a wounded minde wake hands and feeble knees and can not comfort her husband in hauines Can any goe more neere the husband then the wife are they not both one flesh But such is the wake fragility of our wicked nature that even they who lieth in others bosomes some-time will discord but the discord amongst friends should be short as betwix the Parents and the Children betwix Brether and Sisters and cheefly betwix the Man and the Wife Is it not written Let not the Sunne goe downe vpon your anger The anger of some wemen are dangerous the wise and learned man Ausonius speaking of a womans anger he saieth That the wylde Boare persewed of dogs the Viper whose taile is tread vpon the Lyons bitten with hunger the Tiger robd of her young-ones are not more cruell and fearce then an angry woman Melior est iniquitas viri quam mulier benefaciens There should be no vp-casts betwixt the man and the woman as to say thou art come of this or of that we are all the children of Adam and also what ever secretes are amongst them should not be reveild were the occasion never so great Many times great mischief hes bred of such things for this cause woman shuld not be curious of the mans perticular affairs Sampson being maried with the vncircumcised Philistanes his wife did never rest but importuned him to knowe his secrets and then she reveiled all to his great harme The wise man Salomon sayeth A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband but she that maketh him ashamed is as corruption in his bones But many times it falles out that the man is author of his shame blowing and sounding abroad the Trumpet of his owne ignomy in this respect that when he knoweth a particular imperfection to predominat in his wife he will not be secrete but makes the world pointe their fingers at his turpritude when he is to come home he should send word before and tell he comes and if his minde assure him that Occupata ela stanza then should he be very ware to enter his house vpon a suddainty least he catch a moat in his eye and then his eie-sore will sting his heart with impatience turning all the misty-clouds of his darke doubts in a clear-shining verity it will bring Jelousie to a true and perfite resolution it will giue him possession of Hornes and so by this meanes it inrolles him amongst the Cathegory of voluntary Cuck-colds then must he maintaine a back-dore for the ingresse and egresse of his wifes vulgare actions A sentenall must haue a good eare a quick eie and a swift retreat that the al'arme may be the more tymous and to make a more large preparation for Patience O what a spatious subject is this and how endlesse appeares this profound discourse like a stranger Pilgrim in a wildernesse J haue lost my way or like the Sea-faring-man fatigated in a longsome voyage sounding his lead where he findeth no ground in such groundles deepes then at last he returnes hopeles to end his seeming endlesse journey with a dissembling courage and a heartles cry he comforts his company So good Reader I am forced heere obruptly to break off for so long as this Subject is the load-star of my discourse I think and am assured that my Ship shall never arryue to the sight of Capa dell buena asperanza Then in despaire I bid this large Ocaean fare-well for this fearfull and tempestuous storme threatens Ship-wrack I must stand by my Taik-ling shut my Rudder a lee and seeke vp for the next shoare Away vaine world thou Oaecan of annoyes And welcome Heauen with thy eternall joyes O How farre beholde doeth it goe beyond the reatch of mans capacitie to ponder the great and wondrous workes of GOD when we meditate vpon his miracles to see the frame of every thing presenting such strange objects this large prospect of Heaven and Earth the admirable operations of every thing which hath bene wroght and still works in the swift course of time and when we haue considered all that we can or may we shall see that mankinde of all other creatures are most ingrate to his Creator So that this great and vniversall Glob whose spatious shoulders is over-lodned with the wickednesse of mankinde and wearied with the heavy burthen of weghtie sinne and the vnnaturall strife in all kinde of estates even from the ritch Monarch to the poore begger We may see Kings opposde against Kings these great and earthly powers triumph in other mens spoyle we may see mightie ruelars vsurpe Kingdomes subjects mutein against their owne naturall Prince contemne his Laws in spight of GOD oppresse the poore and turne careles Rannegats to all Christianity Virum sanguinum dolosum abhominabitur Dominus GOD abhors and detests the bloudy and malitioue man he shall never get mercy all his abhominations shall not leaue him but shall follow him and accuse him his ambition and the complaints of the oppressed shall condemne his Soule And what is all this world it is noght else but a stage where euery

perrillous rate he will stay at home and be knighted either by moyen or money such is the abuse of worthy knighthood that now every kitchen-fellow may attaine to be flattering credit of euil-purchasd wealth Non venit ex molli vivida fama thoro Dolours paines guts avarice ambition envie the stonie gravell the plague inventing of treason and thousand worse infirmities and worse diseases are found and bred by idlenes and staying at home much more then in travaile or going in farre journeyes I hate this miserable sect of Epicurians who onely loues to eate sleepe and drinke Looke on a drunkard how the continuall exhausting of drinke enflames his face with fire and transformes his nose in a red rock of spurtled and white-headed rubies whose glistring luister yeelds a vermilion reflex to palenes it selfe and yet the more the stomack be oppressed with the strength of drinke the more it heates and dries vp Quo plus sunt potae plus sitiuntur aquae such sort of tiplers who loues and hath pleasure in bibbing and continuall supping of strong drinke this Epicurian sect I say makes their back their belly their summum bonum O I blame the great abuse of companionrie who can not keep societie and be merrie in honest civill pastimes they think all nothing if that they drinke not drunk what a beastly thing is drunkennes and what an abhominable mother is it to all other sinnes it is the very gate of hell Alexander the great when he had conquest the world with valour yet drinke overthrew him and killed him how many branches of mischiefe springs from that filthy rowt J say to thee who hath bene a drunkard hath bene an abuser of the benefits of God perchance rather for the loue of company then for the loue of drink If thou hast remorse and is angry at thy selfe thou art happy And I will entreat thee to behold the beastly behaviour of a drunkard when he is in his drunkennes and it will make thee hate drunkennes worse then any thing in man it is more then filthy and in woman ten thousand times worse because shee can not hide her owne shame J confesse and alow that both men and women should drinke moderatly for the better health of their body but J thinke it odious when one shall as it were force another to drinke more then measure to surfet and spoile them selues to this I say with the Italian è qual è di pazzia signo peu expresso Che per altri voler perder se stesso It is a great signe of madnes when any bodie for the loue of another will kill him selfe To whom is woe to whom is sorrow to whom is strife to whom is murmuring to whom are wounds without cause and to whom is the rednes of the face and the eyes euen to drunkards This insatiable custome is so enlarged within this Iland that it is in all sorts of estates chāged from vice to vertue How many sundry sorts of sins hath intruded them selues amongst vs strange and new invented sinnes comes from the Court to the Countrey like the new fashions of apparrell how new fangled are we to follow them discending by degrees for we may still see the baser sort striving to imitate their betters and rather in wickednes then in goodnes the Clowne striues in his fashious to follow the Gentleman and the Court waiting Ladies is counterfaited with the Country drab few or none followes the honest mans maners honestie truth are becomd banisht traytors nor yet dare Charitie come neere Court the civill and vpright man hath waited long in the glorious Coutts of Kings can not find favour he is turned back wearied he weeps to see a scurvie vngodly consort of villaines crowned with deceit wrapt vp in the painted robes of flatterie in the Triumph of thieft adorned with inequitie in the Chariot of forgetfulnesse drawne to hell with the seaven deadly sinnes What can heroyick spirits say to the hainous abuse of pretious time in this last and miserable age Let him pittie forgetfulnes and sigh at villanie or rather let him turne home againe to burthen his friends when his lands are engaged when he hath spent all and left nothing and when moyen and mony failed him both at once he could not begge a suit he could not buy an Office nor he could not get one church benefice gratis such was the rage of ingratitude Let this man J say who hath spent his time turn say with that most galant mā Awfull regard disputeth not with Kings but takes repulse and neuer asketh why We may see what strange paines the worldling takes on him to be ritch what inventions and with what great industrie behold the Merchant what he vndertaketh to be ritch what restlesse travailes with great hazard of his life compassing as it were the whole earth to flie povertie and leaues no corner in the worlde vnsought Impiger extremos currit mercator ad indos per Mare Pauperiem fugiens per Saxa per ignes Then looke againe on the Machanike or artisant with rare inventions of his spirit the diligent labourer of the ground with the sweate of his bodie and euerie one by lawfull or vnlawfull meanes wrings their wits and still travailes to be ritch Now let vs consider what it is that ritches will not doe We may beholde and see howe it mendes all deformities and oft-times transformes Vertue in Vice first it makes the base Poltrone proude the foolish esteemed wise the ignorant stoyick to be preferred And it makes a Lord or Chiefe Commaunder to honour a borne Rascall and a verie slaue by Nature hee will make him speake with a covert head wash with him sit at meat and eate in his owne dish with a flattering eare he will entertaine his discourse somtimes with gravitie and somtimes with smiling as it were to giue a counterfait grace to the ignorant Asse why will it please his Lordship to doe all this Because his honour thinkes such men are needefull instruments to ingage them selues and become Cationers for the Lords debt A help to furnish his house to store his Citchin and still to lend him money O but when this poore deceaved sot begins to be beggerd then his Lordship presently decards him because hee can not serue more to make vp a full hundreth At last this gulld rascall comes with cap in hand with low-stouping courtesie licking the way with his slavish knees and halfe weeping begs his owne then his Lordship becomes deafe and hath no more Iudas kisses to bestow on his foolish worship What may this man thinke of him selfe and of his deere bought courtesie the Lord leaned on his shoulder
