with as strange an occasion There is a young man one Iohn Brerewood dwelling in this Citty but borne in that whom his Father Graundfather when they left this World left very young And left he was especially to my care who am his vnckle That youth I placed here in London to serue in condition of an apprentice and placed he is with a man of so good religion report trade that if I might haue picked him a master in the whole City I thinke I should haue chosen none before him In this mans service hee hath spent two years and more and God shewing him and in his behalfe me also more mercy then either of vs deserued I began to receiue comfort of him after some sorrow that his former vntowardnes had caused and to recouer good hope after my former doubt and feare but yet for all this Gods good pleasure it was to abate this contentment of mine and by the youths new follies to bring me into new perplexities for being not long since sent to Chester about his Masters businesse he returned againe so strangely altered that I haue seldome seene in so short a time so great a change For so deiected he was in his countenance so dull and wretchlesse about his businesse so alienated quite from his master and so obstinately resolued whether by faire means or by fowle to forsake his seruice that I was not fuller of sorrow to see him so changed then of wonder to imagine how he became so And yet the care and paines I tooke by the endeavour of my selfe and of my friends to recouer and to resettle him was equall to both and so much more they were because I laboured to cure a disease whereof I could not perceiue the cause For the pretences which at first hee made of the vnablenesse of his body and toilesomenes of his seruice I know were but fained excuses or else complaints of lazinesse as being assured that there are 20000 in this City of lesse bones that make noe bones of greater labour But the true cause of all this distemper fell out to be at last a case of conscience and full glad I was that the case proved no worse then that he had such feeling of conscience for I had imagined sundry others although it grieued me not a little to see his conscience so seduced and the point that pricked him was this his Master on the Lords day sent him forth sometimes on arrands as to bid guests or fetch wine giue his horse provender which last his Master remēbreth not that euer he bad him past once or about some other light businesse he was instructed he said that to doe these things or any other worke on the Sabaoth day although it were such work as might lawfully be done on another day and although he did it not of his owne disposition but only in obedience to his Masters command yet was a sinne and transgression of Gods commandements touching the Sabaoth and that he was not bound to yeeld nay that hee sinned against God in yeelding obedience to euery such commandement of his Masters that day which by the precept of almighty God was wholely precisely consecrated to rest and the service of God To this effect he told me he was instructed when he was in Chester and that you S r were his chiefe instructer out of which doctrine he deduced as naturall reason rightly taught him to doe that he ought in such cases to reiect the comcommand of his Master and in no sort to performe it which because he could not doe without his masters great offence and his owne affliction he saw no other course to be taken but to forsake his masters service that so becomming his owne Master he might not be commanded to sinne against God Which resolution of the young mans being so peremptory and obstinate as for a time I found it to be if it moued me both to melancholy and anger who can iustly blame me For I saw not only a poore youth my neere kinsman entangled with the conscience of another mans sinne if it be sinne but withall his vtter ruine for his condition in this World hardly ventured his Master wronged his friends grieued and my selfe especially indammaged that am in bond deepely ingaged for him and yet this was not all that inwardly afflicted me but some thing there was beside that might well stirre as patient an heart as mine to indignation Namely because I perceiued this doctrine of yours whereof this resolution of his proceeded and his ruine was likely to follow neither to haue good beginning nor likely to haue good ending but to beginne in ignorance and to end in sinne to beginne in mistaking the Law of God to end in the wicked disobedience of seruams to their Masters in the rebellious contempt of the lawes of men But for the transgression of mens lawes by
