TRIBVLATION ANANIAS THese chastisements are common to the Saints And such rebukes we of the Separation Must beare with willing shoulders as the trialls Sent forth to tempt our frailties ANA. In pure zeale I doe not like the man He is a heathen And speakes the language of Canaan truely TRI. I thinke him a prophane person indeed ANA. He beares The visible marke of the Beast in his fore-head And for his Stone it is a worke of darknesse And with Philisophie blinds the eyes of man TRI. Good Brother we must bend vnto all meanes That may giue furtherance to the holy cause ANA. Which his cannot The sanctified cause Should haue a sanctified course TRI. Not alwaies necessary The children of perdition are oft-times Made instruments euen of the greatest workes Beside we should giue somewhat to mans nature The place he liues in still about the fire And fume of mettalls that intoxicate The braine of man and make him prone to passion Where haue you greater Atheists then your Cookes Or more prophane or cholerick then your Glasse-men More Antichristian then your Bell-founders What makes the Deuill so deuillish I would aske you Sathan our common enemie but his being Perpetually about the fire and boyling Brimstone and arsnike We must giue I say Vnto the motiues and the stirrers vp Of humours in the bloud It may be so When as the worke is done the stone is made This heate of his may turne into a zeale And stand vp for the beauteous discipline Against the menstruous cloth and ragg of Rome We must await his calling and the comming Of the good spirit You did fault t' vpbraid him With the Brethrens blessing of Heidelberg waighing What need we haue to hasten on the worke For the restoring of the silenc'd Saints Which ne'er will be but by the Philosophers stone And so a learned Elder one of Scotland Assur'd me Aurum potabile being The onely med'cine for the ciuill Magistrate T' incline him to a feeling of the cause And must be daily vs'd in the disease ANA.

Sir be appeased he is come to humble Himselfe in spirit and to aske your patience If too mch zeale hath carried him aside From the due path SVB. This qualifies most Why thus it should be now you vnderstand Haue I discours'd so vnto you of our Stone And of the good that it shall bring your cause Shew'd you beside the mayne of hiring forces Abroad drawing the Hollanders your friends From th' Indies to serue you with all their fleete That euen the med'cinall vse shall make you a faction And party in the realme As put the case That some great man in state he haue the gout Why you but send three droppes of your Elixir You helpe him straight there you haue made a friend Another has the palsey or the dropsie He take of your incombustible stuffe Hee 's yong againe there you haue made a friend A Lady that is past the feate of body though not of minde and hath her face decay'd Beyond all cure of paintings you restore Withe the oyle of Talek there you haue made a friend And all her friends A lord that is a Leper A knight that has the bone-ache or a squire That hath both these you make 'hem smooth and sound With a bare fricace of your med'cine still You increase your friends TRI. I 't is very pregnant SVB. And then the turning of this Lawyers pewter To plate at Christ-masse ANA. Christ-tide I pray you SVB. Yet ANANIAS ANA. I haue done SVB. Or changing His parcell guilt to massie gold You cannot But raise you friends With all to be of power To pay an armie in the field to buy The king of France out of his realmes or Spaine Out of his Indies What can you not doe Against lords spirituall or temporall That shall oppone you TRI. Verily 't is true We may be temporall lords our selues I take it SVB. You may be any thing and leaue off to make Long-winded exercises or suck vp Your ha and hum in a tune I not denie But such as are not graced in a state May for their ends be aduerse in religion And get a tune to call the flock together For to say sooth a tune do's much with women And other phlegmatick people it is your bell ANA.

No nor your holy vizard to winne widdowes To giue you legacies or make zealous wiues To rob their husbands for the common cause Nor take the start of bonds broke but one day And say they were forfeited by prouidence Nor shall you need ore-night to eate huge meales To celebrate your next daies fast the better The whilst the Brethren and the Sisters humbled Abate the stiffenesse of the flesh Nor cast Before your hungrie hearers scrupulous bones As whether a Christian may hawke or hunt Or whether Matrons of the holy assembly May lay their haire out or weare doublets Or haue that idoll Starch about their linnen ANA.

Nor shall you need to libell 'gainst the Prelates And shorten so your

Then if you loue your wife or rather dote on her sir Ô how shee 'll torture you and take pleasure i' your torments you shall lye with her but when she lists she will not hurt her beauty her complexion or it must be for that iewell or that pearle when she do's euery halfe houres pleasure must be bought anew and with the same paine and charge you woo'd her at first Then you must keepe what seruants shee please what company shee will that friend must not visit you without her licence and him shee loues most shee will seeme to hate eagerliest to decline your ielousie or faigne to bee ielous of you first and for that cause goe liue with her she-friend or cosen at the colledge that can instruct her in all the mysteries of writing letters corrupting seruants taming spies where shee must haue that rich goune for such a great day a new one for the next a richer for the third bee seru'd in siluer haue the chamber sill'd with a succession of groomes foot-men vshers and other messengers besides embroyderers iewellers tyre-women sempsters fether-men perfumers while shee feeles not how the land drops away nor the acres melt nor forsees the change when the mercer has your woods for her veluets neuer weighes what her pride costs sir so shee may kisse a page or a smoth chinne that has the despaire of a beard bee a states-woman know all the newes what was done at Salisbury what at the Bath what at court what in progresse or so shee may censure poets and authors and stiles and compare 'hem DANIEL with SPENSER IONSON with the tother youth and so foorth or be thought cunning in controuersies or the very knots of diuinitie and haue often in her mouth the state of the question and then skip to the Mathematiques and demonstration and answere in religion to one in state to another in baud'ry to a third MOR. O Ô TRV. All this is very true sir. And then her going in disguise to that coniurer and this cunning woman where the first question is how soone you shall die next if her present seruant loue her next that if she shall haue a new seruant and how many which of her family would make the best baud male or female what precedence shee shall haue by her next match and sets downe the answers and beleeues 'hem aboue the scriptures Nay perhaps she 'll study the art MOR.

One thing more which I had almost forgot This too with whom you are to marry may haue made a conuayance of her virginity afore hand as your wise widdowes doe of their states before they marry in trust to some friend sir who can tell or if she haue not done it yet she may doe vpon the wedding day or the night before and antidate you cuckold The like has beene heard of in nature 'T is no deuis'd impossible thing sir.
