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

the Commons for to speake somewhat I will proceede As Commons for the greater part consist of men of Trade Artificers and Laborers and such as vse haue made Both apt and fit for that which should Societie maintaine A similitude Without the which a Comon-wealth cannot it selfe sustaine Euen so in euery Body or in euery House we see Such partes and members of the same as may compared bee To Commons in a Cmmon-wealth The Commons or communaltie and how it is applyed and like in each degree For in the Body of a man as I before haue sayd Some part or member of the same can exercise the Trade Of Brewers and of Bakers too yea and some haue the skill To Barber and to Butcher to Poulterers and Foules likewise to kill So hath it some that exercise the Sciene of Defence And handles can the weapon which oft times do breede offence It hath likewise the Souldier which in Warres can tosse the Pike And handle well the Musket and knowes how with Sword to strike And drumme and Trumpet for to sound The propir and sundrie vses of the hand and eke the Horse to guide If that they hap at any time vpon an Horse to ride The Carpenters and Coopes art the Coblers craft some can The Ioyners trade and some likewise can Iuggle now and than For euen as in a Common-wealth a Cittie or a Towne So euery idle man abuseth some parts of his body to idle pastimes Full many idle people bee which wander vp and downe So euery House hath idle mates which vseth for to play At Chesse at Bowes at Dice at Cards at Tennis day by day And some there be which haue likewise The vse of the armes shoulders or the legges in them a Comely grace Within their Armes in kindly sort his friendes for to imbrace And euery House hath Porters too which carry too and fro Great Packes burdens when they are commaunded to do so It hath Intelligencers which seeke out to see and heare What newes abroad both good and bad The vse of the eye and the eare and then the same they beare Vnto the owner of the House and him thereof doth warne That he the better may preuent the things that might him harme It hath likewise his Clergie men that now and then can preach And doctrine either good or bad can vtter foorth and teach And Orators that can a smooth and learned tale foorth tell And Lawyers too that for it selfe The vse of the tongue the voyce can plead his causes well And Chapmen that cen buy and sell and good account can make Of any thing that for the House they do receiue and take And them likewise that can conferr with either friend or foe And as occasion offered is can frame an answer so And Laborers that digg and delue The vse of the hand and the foote ioyutly with M●ttocke and with Spade And those that both with hand and foot do vse the Weauers trade and like the fading flower And to an earthen vessell that 's in danger euery hower For to be chrusht in peeces and a Dungeon some it call A Prison-house vnto the Soule that keeps the same in thrall And many such like other names the Scriptures do declare All which is true if with the Soule we do the same compare For why the Soule Gods Image is What the Soule is a thing Deuine but yet As touching this our Body suer God hath bestowde on it Such admyrable workeman-shipp as when he did it frame His wisedome power and glorie then was shewed in the same So that we are therefore to laude and prayse his holy name Likewise each Body of the Iust the Scriptures terme to bee The Temple of the Holy Ghost and that we shall it see At latter day for to arise in glorie for to sitt With Christ who by his precious blood long since redeemed it Beside the ordering of the same and gouernment of it Euen from the state of Common-wealths do differ not a whit And why because all Common-wealths do of our Bodyes come And when our Bodyes cease to bee then Common-wealths are done And as a Realme a Common-wealth a Cittie or a Towne Cannot continue long but is in state of falling downe If that the Common-people which within them do remaine Doe not together ioyne as one their state for to maintaine And as an House must needes decay and all that longe there to If those that dwell therein neglect the things that they should do Euen so it with our Bodyes stands for if it so befall The Eye the Eare the Hand the Foote the parts and members all Ioyne not together all as one the Body to sustaine wee see by dayly proofe the Body cannot long remaine And euen as in a Common-wealth a Cittie or a Towne There ought to be good Magistrates to kepe the wicked downe And as in euery House there ought a Gouernour to bee Amongst the people in the same good order for to see Euen so in euery Body in the which a Soule do dwell Most needefull t is some one to haue A good Conscience the which may gouerne well Or eke the Realme the Common-wealth the Cittie or the Towne The generall incōuenience of e●●● gouernment Yea and the Soule and Body too though things of great renowne Cannot endure but needs must fall to ruine and decay The proofe thereof by ruling ill too often see we may As Corporations Citties Townes and Villages a sort The better for to gouerne them haue oftentimes their Court As well Ecclesiasticall as of the Common Lawes So euery man within his House and in him selfe haue cause To see that both these Courts be kept the first of them to keepe For Causes hidden in the Hart See more hereof in fol. 27. 28. and in the Conscience deepe The other Court must houlden be for matters that depende Twixt man and man right for to doe and wrong for to amende Each seuerall Court hath seuerall Rules belonging therevnto For to in●truct their suters all what euery one should do The Gospel The Commandements The Gospell and the Morrall law who so obserueth this I am perswaded that he shall but seldome doe amisse The application of the keeping of these Courts And for the keeping of these Courts we thus must vnderstand That euery good and faythfull man must dayly take in hand For to examine well himselfe his thoughts his words and works And Looke if any wickednes in any of them lurks And if he chaunce some faults to spie as doutles but he shall That then vnto the Lord-chiefe-Iudge he faythfully do call For pardon for his former faults and do as is before Directed him and then I thinke he need to do no more Thus briefly haue I shewd my minde and now because the day Comes on apace and that quoth they we needs must hence a way We leaue you till another time when we may talke our fill I rather wish you would quoth I abide and tarry still But when our leaue each one of vs did of each other take The sorrow I conceiu'd thereof did cause me for to wake And when I sawe my selfe in bed I rose vp presently And went and tooke my pen in hand and Wrote downe by and by So neare as I could call to minde what I before had seene And all the talke and conference which passed vs betweene If any shall hereafter seeme for to mislike of this I craue they would vouchsaue to mende what here they finde amisse And here I ende wishing these things may be as well applide And to no worser ende then in this booke is specifide FINIS Letchrie is like a fiery furnace whose mouth is Glu●●●● 〈…〉 flame is 〈…〉 sparks are euill 〈…〉 smoake is
