and euerlasting strife betweene them what securitie then can be looked for of any thing in this world As for man himselfe the Lord and gouernour of all things who onely by the rule of Reason should bee able to guide in Tranquilitie this swelling and troublesome sea with what continuall strife is hee tossed both externally with other things as also internally with himselfe As for the things that are outward whereby man is tossed and turmoilde they are innumerable and vnspeakable euen from one man to another and practised by one man against another Homo homini Lupus one man is become a Wolfe towards another What mischiefe is there that one man worketh not against another and all other harmes by what meanes soeuer they happen yet being compared with these doe seeme but light discommodities Who can number the disagreement of opinions the variety of sects the contentions of the learned and the warres of Kings and Nations Who then can bee assured of the Truth Who can assure his peace long if hee seeke no further for Peace and Truth then vnto this world But if thou or thy estate be called into question as whose is not somtime thou wilt repaire to s●kilfull Grammarians who can tell what Construction to make of euery things or to eloquent Rhetoricians that can tell how to perswade much or to wittie Logitians who can dispute thy cause well or to learned Lawyers who can plead thy cause effectually but then remember againe what contentions are amongst Grammaians not yet decided what conflicts among Rhetoricians what Quirks and quidities amongst Logitians what brabble and clamour amongst Lawyers who how well they agree the continuance of their Cliants causes doth euidently declare And if thou sayest thou wilt haue Law for thy mony then remember first that they will also haue thy mony for Law and by that time the Law hath tryed thy cause it may be halfe thy estate and wealth must bee sharde amongst the Lawyers and their Clarkes who hauing eaten the Oyster which made the strife will returne thee the shell for recompence Well then thou wilt say if thy wealth stand vpon so tickle a pinne thou wilt looke to thy Health and to that end thou wilt make much of the Phisition but then heare againe make thou as much of him as thou canst bee sure of one thing that hee will make as much of thee as hee can And as for the agreement of Phisitions about diseases their causes and their cures let their Patients bee iudge for that life which they haue pronounced to bee short by their contentions they haue made most short But if thy wealth Health be so vncertaine thou wilt then looke to thy Religion and be assured that that shall be right and sound thou doest well in so doing but then thou must take heed thou hang not thy Faith or Religion vpon men but vpon God and his word for else what deformitie and disagreement of opinions is there in the holy rites and religion of the Church where Gods heauenly direction in his Word is neglected and that not so much in the words of the learned as in the weapons of the armed and oftner tryed in the field then in the schooles But it may bee for more securitie of thy selfe and thy estate thou wilt looke to the common life and affaires of men and conforme thy selfe to the fashions of the most in house keeping in building in apparrell in recreation c. But then remember againe that if thou hast not light and Wisedome from Heauen thou maist soone slip into the broad way that leadeth to Hell And againe euen then thou wilt bee to seeke so many windings and turnings thou shalt meete withall for there are scarce two in a cittie that doe agree both many things else but especially the great diuersitie of their houses and Apparrell doth declare for who euer succeeded any man in an house were hee neuer so rich and good an Husband that hath not for all that changed many things in it so that looke what one man had a desire to build another hath a pleasure to pull downe witnesse hereof may bee the often changing of Windows damming vp of Doores and the skarres and new reparations that are done in old Wals. Nay more is not euery mans opinion Iudgement contrary to himselfe whilst according to the saying of the Poet He pulleth downe and buildeth vp and changeth that which was square into round By which it may appeare that almost no man can agree with another man nor yet with himselfe To these may bee added the contention that is oftentimes without an Aduersary as of Sriueners with Parchment with Inke with Pens with Paper before they can make them serue their turne and many the like What a coile haue Souldiers not with their enimies onely but with their owne Horses and Armour when as the horse waxeth obstinate and their Armour wayeth them downe What businesse haue they that speak and those that write at the mouth of another whilest the one through earnest intention speaketh many things vnperfect and the other through ignorance or vnskilfulnes or a flitting vnconstant wit misconstrueth those things that are perfect Againe what Conflicts haue Infants with fals Children with their Bookes and Young men with pleasures and vnruly affections Yong men are indeed to bee pittied for there are no kinde of men that would seeme to bee more merry and none indeed are more miserable and sorrowfull And againe in what danger are Women in Childe-bearing what wrastling haue men continually with Pouertie and Ambition What great carking caring for more then is needful for liuing And finally what euerlasting warre haue old men with old age and sicknesses and all other persons with death also and that which is more grieuous then death it selfe with the continuall feare of death But to omit this external strife which is one while with Aduersaries and another while without an Aduersarie how great is the internall Contention not onely against another but euen against our selfe euery one enduring a continuall war euen in the secret closet of his minde With how diuerse and contrary Affections doth the mind striue against it selfe with how variable and vncertaine motion of minde is euery man drawne sometime one way sometime another hee is neuer whole nor neuer one man but alwayes dissenting and deuided in himselfe Now hee willeth by and by hee will not that which hee would before now hee liketh by and by hee misliketh now hee loueth by and by hee hateth now hee flattereth presently he threatneth now he iesteth and presently is in good earnest here hee beginneth there hee leaueth off now hee admireth by and by hee disdaineth one while hee goeth forward and straight way he turneth back again and such like then the which there can bee nothing imagined more vncertaine and with which the life

may be a defect in the vnderstanding which may bee darkish cloudy or in the vtterance which may be slow or in the memory which may be obliuious or in the Faith which may be weak or in the repentance which may be dull or in the will which may be waiward or in the Loue which may be cold yet in all these remaine a double com●ort first these graces are in truth in thee for thou vnderstandest aright and remembrest the best things and beleeuest the word and repentest in truth with hatred of sinne and louest God and his word euen for themselues and secondly so much as thou vnderstandest knowest remembrest beleeuest louest thou affectest embracest in hart vnfainedly and desirest to grow in them and to practise them all which are blessed signes of the grace of God And lastly if thou didst once feele the forgiuenes of thy sinnes and God fauourable vnto thee in his sonne Christ and now wantest that feeling know that for some iust cause it is taken from thee either to humble thee or to make thee more thankfull when thou feelest so great grace bestowed vpon thee or to make it come againe vnto thee after thy humiliation tryall of thy patience with greater ioy sweetnes for ioy restored is sweeter then ioy continued That God that hath vouchsafed of his great goodnesse to shew vs in some measure the difference betweene the treasures of the earth and the riches of his kingdome and by giuing vs the one doth allure vs to loue and accept of the other giue vs grace so to seeke and vse the one that in the end of our race wee may obtaine the other and that for his infinite mercies sake in Iesus Christ our Lord and all sufficient Sauiour to whom with the Father and the holy Ghost be giuen all honour and glory with power and dominion for euer and euer Amen FINIS Errata Fol. 1. b. line 13. read thornes fol. 23. b. l. 8. read ballist l. 24. r.
