weaving curious webbs for your soft and durable wearing out of his own Bowells Consider that the firmament the world and all creatures in heaven and earth are arguments proposed for his understanding and disputation together with that principium primum causa prima ens entium that essentiâ and trinus personis God that one eternall Essence of three persons the Father the Sonne the holy Ghost and his will to be revealed unto Christians for the disposing and effecting whereof as there is little need of mundane Impediment or the peoples discouragement so great cause for the exercise of his prudence which opportunely I trust with your patience I may consider and that very briefly Cicero saith it is scientia cl●ctio rerum quas cupimus auf fugimus the Apprehension and Election of those things which we are bound to seek or avoid or it is Approbatio causarum effectuum experientia the Experience and accompt of causes with their Effects doubtlesse it is the hand that layes out for all the foot that walkes for all the eare that heares for all and the very eye that constitutes all It is Ars vitae saith Tully as Physick is the Methodicall preservative of our health it is the Alarm of the Army the Monitour of the School The watch in the Pockett it is the predominant morall in mans Affections Actions that whereas other vertues do Inclinare move men to Civility and their passions to Regularity this doth Imponere im●ose a necessity of wise Government in the soule for no prudent man as good no man Nor is the vertue to be nicely disliked because Cardinall or Confind to one office and Action of the Ambassadour but generally to all To his first Admission into this holy Dignity to his setting forth yea it is his Companion in his journey betwixt earth and heaven it comes along with him to the people to whom he is sent and to summe up all It is his eye his Eare his mouth his bracelett It is every where not circumscribed but as infinite as the individualls For since morall vertue is an habit created in mans will by the holy Ghost moving him to honest Actions agreeable to the line of Gods Law and that prudence is one cheif Pillar of mans reasonable understanding this Prudence wanting or not practised it must follow A mans passions do subvert his reason wisdome is infatuated His Affections contemning a judicious Government and prudent moderation expose him violently to unbridled courses irregular exorbitant and dissolute demeanours or as the Schooles have it per actus remissos habitus virtutis corrumpitur I cannot stand upon the varions distinctions of this prudence as that personall oeconomicall politicall nor that of Cicero's pura impura propria impropria The first shewing a respective wisdome when a man feeles his own pulse and consults himselfe The second more common when hee sends to the Physition and is advised by another that which this hand leades mee to at this time is to those effects singular and observable in a religious prudence and are as attendants upon this AMBASSADOVR and they are these The first is Perfectè considerare To consider throughly God themselves their Ambassage and the world For as he well replied to an ignorant admirer of the ill successe of those things which with such deliberations were at tempted and acted so here it may make our answers Consultationum Domini Erant they were Masters of their deliberating consultations but not of the comming successe The second is perfecte determinare to determine throughly Deo fidelitate seipso sinceritate populo sobrietate with GOD by his fidellitie with himselfe by his sincerity with the world by discretion and sobriety First That God bee not dishonoured for his want of judgment nor himselfe neglected for want of due examination nor the world abused and blinded in a matter of such importance as the Ambassage of there owne salvation The third is perfecte applicare throughly to apply himselfe to God and His Word his Doctrine to Gods people his life for their example and his patience for their patterne so that the people may joyfully receave the Ambassadour and hearken his Ambassage That they may prudently embrace it in its purity obey it as there line of godly life in its sanctity And that they may bee wrought to an invincible courage against all false Ambassadors and Ambassages And all gaine-sayers of this Gospell of Jesus CHRIST under what species of fained holinesse and seeming reformation whatsoever yea Contra Angelum descendentem against an Angell comming downe to such a purpose and so much for the first vertue his prudence He that is justly prudent is prudently just for that is not distinctions a badge by which the true Ambassador is knowne But upon that Iustice Quae sibi unicuique suum tribuit morally I insist not nor upon that Originall Iustice reason over sensuality which Socrates pretily taught going thirsty to the wel there drawing the first bucket to power downe and the next to drinke of by which he shewed the appetites submission to reason neither upon that naturall universall and Phylosophicall Iustice which being insensible and imaginary We contemplate by inward notions as the Ideas of Plato nor that other artificiall particular and polliticall Iustice which as the leaden Lesbian Rule is made flexible to times persons and accidents vet this way were I to walk upon any distinction of Iustice in an Embassador I should render the devision in Iustitiam c●mutativam et distributivam The first practised betwixt themselves and others privately and by proportion Arithmeticall the second measured and done publikely by Geometricall proportion whose direct ayme is praemium et supplicium reward and punishment But not to prejudice my text You nor my selfe by injustice in digression I shall observe for my purpose three speciall notes which as debts doe ingage the Embassador to a Religious justice Deo sibi suis To God to himselfe to the world Our blessed Saviour Bipartires them Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy heart thy God and with all thy soule and with all thy strength and thy neighbour as thy selfe The Ambassage in my Text comes not short of the Angells doxology and tydings to the Shepheards Saint Luke 2. Here is glory to God peace on earth good will towards men And the Iustice of this Ambassador must bee Evangelically Angelically as was that Angelically Evangelicall Hee must know God His maker that sent him his Lord that intrusted him and his Law-giver that invested him that as in other matters from their knowledge issueth their honour done unto him so in this in them who are sent and them to whom they are sent by such knowledge in the one and revelation to the other there must be mutuall honour justly given unto God and instructions of piety d●e●y one to another But this Iustice in the Ambassadour must reach higher by raising his devoutest thoughts to the contemplation
