contrarie to reason saith that famous Orator Qo minus viae eo plus viatici For a man to encomber himself with larger provisions the less way he hath to go And a strange madness saith that Ancient Father for a man to be then most eager of scraping and gathering goods together when he is soonest to leav them and to endeavor with most travel to lay on load when he is neerest to his journeys end Yet it seems this mad follie and unreasonable affection hath among manie other surprised and seized on Mr. G. that like those of whom Plutarch speaks who ar of the mind That unless they add dailie to the heap of what alreadie they have 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 they shall want meat to feed them while they live and money to bu●y them when they ar dead So he tho he be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in vespera vitae in the evening of his life yea as Empedocles 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ad occasum at the verie Sun-set 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Pedem alterum in capulo or as we use to speak In sepulcro habens And have one foot in the Coffin or in the Grave alreadie yet as the Proverb hath it of the Athenians 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Atheniensis moriens porrigit manum An Athenian can put out his hand to take money even when he lies adying So it seems is it with him he is now grown more gripple and greedie of the world then ever For whereas heretofore when he did most and had most he neither reqired nor received more then an hundred and fortie pounds yeerlie now the old covetous Churl when he hath willing lie silenced himself from Preaching he exacteth and receiveth Two hundred pounds per annum from his people and yet preacheth not at all for it For so this lying Sycophant most untrulie affirms Where first a word or two concerning my wilful silencing my self after that of my Receipts It is wel known that in the yeer 1643. I was called to sit in the Assemblie of Divines and others of either House at Westminster Where notwithstanding the remoteness of my place for above two yeers and upward I attended as constantlie as anie other of the Assemblie and yet neglected not therefore my Pastoral employment but preached stil constantlie everie Lords day save when some of my Reverend Brethren and Colleages did now and then yet not freqentlie afford me some help For which my attendance albeit some of the Antinominan partie buzzed it into the ears of my people that I received an hundred pound a yeer and by Ordinance of Parliament indeed we were to receiv each one of us Four shillings a day yet I never either demanded a pennie nor when I was sometime a Committee and in the Chair for the distribution of such sums of money as they came in did I ever set apart or cause to be set apart anie part thereof for my self regarding the indigence of some who had been either plundred or driven from their places and the just claim of others who upon good ground reqired as of right du to them a proportionable share in the moneys brought in nor did I ever receiv of what was by others unsought to assigned me so much as half the charge of my Boat-hire setting aside other expences amounted unto From this employment I came home arrested with a sharp fit of the Wind-Colick the violence whereof after grievous and tedious pains undergone and not suddenlie removed so loosed and weakned the whole frame of my feeble bodie that it constrained me to keep Bed for a long time together After which extream weakness when I had recovered so much strength as but to sit up a little by some cold taken I fel back into such a deep and dangerous relapse as made my recoverie verie doubtful not to my friends alone but even to the Physicians themselvs This affixed me for a longer space of time then before to my Bed mured me up a far longer time in my Chamber and confined me yet a far longer time to my House And this I suppose was no willing or wilful silencing of my self Howbeit so soon as I had gotten anie degree of strength and was able to creep or craul out to the Publick Assemblie of my own people I mean for unto that at Westminster I was never able to return I returned to my wonted cours of Teaching and therein continued for some good space of time until by intention of speech a vein opening in my Lungs caused such a flux of blood as that when it could not otherwise be staid I was constrained by advice to open a vein elswhere which double expence of blood could not but exceedinglie weaken one of my yeers never of anie strong constitution and by a foregoing maladie brought so low as I la 〈…〉 been Notwithstanding after that I had for some few months forborn preaching supposing that all in my Lungs was now perfectlie closed up and healed I betook my self afresh again to my wonted imployment and persisted therein until either the former or some other vein in the same part reserated the second time and with more violence disgorging it self then before I was enforced to have recours to the former remedie again but found it a work of more difficultie now by that cours albeit a double qantitie almost of blood to what before was then drawn from me and other means adjoyned thereunto to effect a restraint and repress the efflux then formerlie it had been And I was then told by the Physician that I must whollie forbear Preaching unles I would wilfullie make away myself and this is the wilful or unwilling silencing of my self from Preaching Which howsoever I therefore forbear that I may not thereby make my self guiltie of self-murther yet do I not whollie neglect my Pastoral employments so far as with safetie I may perform anie for this voidance of blood doth at times stil surprize me tho not with such vehemency as at those other times it did in Administration of the Sacraments with such short Collations as ar suitable to the present occasion in Visitation of the sick and other like Offices as abilitie serveth and my weaknes wil permit Yea but When I preach not at all yet I exact or at least receiv from my people Two hundred pounds a yeer Suppose that being now unable to preach and take those pains with my people that formerlie I had done I should yet admit from them some good portion of that which I did formerly receiv especiallie at mine own charge providing and procuring some able persons to perform what is reqisite to be done but am not able to do my self that which I have been careful of ever since this infirmitie hath held me so far as in me lay so to do suppose I say I should so do I am of the mind that no ingenuous people would deem it a thing unjust or uneqal or could upon any eqitable
