not stand against the bloud of thy brother I am the Lord. Now least any should seeme to cauil against the equity of this law saieng why then we may not speak the trueth against our brother before a iudge especiallie when it may tend to his destruction hee addeth foorthwith thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine hart but thou shalt plainelie rebuke thy neighbour and suffer him not to sinne Giuing vs thereby to vnderstand that it is no lesse demonstration of a malitious mind for men to winke at the wickednesse of their brother before a iudge then with hatred to pursue his innocencie vnto the death For whereas by the one they wound but his bodie by the other they slaie both bodie and soule Ingroser But this is spoken as appeareth in the beginning of the chapter to all the congregation of Israell without exception shewing therein how one neighbour should friendlie and priuately admonishe another and not that you Priestes should in open Pulpit thus peartlie prate against all men at your pleasures No-bodie You could not in all the Bible haue brought an argument more directlie against your selfe For if the safetie and good estate of our bretheren must be so carefullie couched in all christian breasts that euery priuate and perticuler man is bound by the rule of charitie to be most carefull thereof How much more belongs it then to the ministers to be preciselie circumspect therein who not only by the self-same league of loue but also in a more special regard of their function calling are charged verie vigilantlie to watch a Heb. 13. 17. ouer the soules of Gods people as those that are sure to giue an accompt for the same Ingroser Tush a strawe for that is ment to reprooue them in generall tearmes but where can you warrant your particuler reprehensions by the woord of God No-bodie Besides this latelie alleadged law of the LORD the proofes which doe tend to that purpose are both pregnant and plentifull For first our Sauiour Christ intending to make a plaine description of a ministers office compareth b Math. 24. 45. him to a wise and faithfull steward Luke 12. 42. whome his Lord hath made ruler ouer his house to giue them their porcion of meate in due time If therfore it belongs to the dutie of a temporall steward to giue euerie seruant his portion of meate namelie foure peckes of meale for euerie moneth Donatus in Phormio as Donatus declareth or otherwaies for his vnfaithfulnes to be hewen in peeces Is it likelie think you the spirituall steward being with no lesse diligence bound to distribute iustly to euery one his portion of spirituall meat if hee bee found negligent therein that b Ezec. 33. 8. he should be brought to anie better estate of dignity Math. 24. 51. remaining as you see in a farre more miserable condition of sinne Luke 12. 46. Eueri-bodie Surelie sir you haue said something nowe to the purpose if comparisons prooued anie thing at all But seeing such shotte is of insufficient force to batter the enemies holde wee will bee the sooner perswaded in this point if you can avouch your assertiō by some euident precepts and rules of the holie ghost No-bodie That may easilie be perfourmed For the Apostle saint Paule to the end his scholler Timothy might more carefullie continu the integritie and credite of his calling he giues him herein a speciall exhortation saieng c 2. Tim. 2. 15. Studie to shew thy selfe approoued to God a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed deuiding the word of truth aright Pedler What meanes the Apostle I pray you by deuiding the woord of truth aright No-bodie Euen that selfe-same skil care which our sauior Christ required before in the faithful Steward namely a Exod. 29. 32. that both he know how Leuit. 9. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. also be diligent in giuing euerie one his portion of meat in due time Wherein also either he alludeth vnto the Priests of the olde law who in their sacrifices accustomablie gaue vnto God the portion of right belonging vnto him tooke their owne parte and deliuered also to him which brought the sacrifice his appointed share Or els it is a Metaphoricall borrowed speech transferred either from the vsuall manner of cutting of bread as wee see a father when hee feedeth his children deuideth the whole loafe in peeces and giues to euerie child his portion Or otherwaies drawen from the lopping awaie of superfluous things as the Physitions do practise who vse to seare to cut and to purge away the putrified and rotten parts for infecting the rest of the bodie Ingroser And what would you inferre vpon this No-bodie Euen the selfe same doctrine I deliuered before For like as a father beeing carefull to feede his children distributeth to euerie one that portion of meat which is properlie fit and belongeth vnto him And as a Phisition seeking soundlie the sauegard of hys patient spareth not to purge awaie and to cut of those superfluous and putrified parts which otherwaies would annoie the whole bodie it selfe euen so it befalleth especiallie for spirituall fathers to be carefull in feeding their flocke and for spirituall Phisitions to be prouident in cutting awaie with the sword of the spirit all such inordinate affections as a 2. Cor. 10. 5● doe raise them selues againste the knowledge of God and to bring into captiuitie euerie thought vnto the obedience of Christ hauing readie the vengeaunce against all disobedience when the obedience of the sonnes of GOD is fulfilled Ingroser Is this then that you say the meaning of Paule No-bodie Yea no doubt And this more plainelie appeareth by that platforme of reproouing which els where he prescribeth to Timothie for all degrees of people saieng a 1. Tim. 5. 1. 2. Rebuke not an elder rigorouslie but exhort him as a father the yonger men as breethren the elder women as Mothers the yonger as Sisters with all purenes shewing therein how he should distribute to euery one their portion of rebukes according as their age and calling required Ingroser Well be it that this was the meaning of the Apostle But where for all that can you name in the scriptures any one seruant of God which either practised the same or shewed themselues so sawcy in snapping at al estates of men as your selfe and such other haue done No-bodie Why thinke you then that the holie ghost who was so carefull in penning these precepts would haue men carelesse in practising the same or dare you call that holie seruice of God a sawcines of men Oh beware of the woe b Isay 5. 20. that is threatned against such an outragious blasphemie But where and when I pray you haue you seene me so sawcie for it seemes by your speech euen now that you were from the sermon to daie Ingroser I confesse I was from the Sermon indeede and yet notwithstanding I hard of your dealings therein

By making it loathsome to others and how No-bodie Verely when as by an vngodly continuance of those the former abuses the sellers disordered dealings are not onely discerned of all men but euen his whole bodie also it selfe and euerie member thereof is very fitly derided and most iustly detested as a most filthy and loathsome carryon Namely when his head is accompted with all men the very Cage of deceites when his eyes are no better estéemed then the very Scout-watches of wickednes when his eares are abhorred as the Ewes-droppers of destruction when his toong is no lesse distrusted then the poyson of Aspis when his handes and euery finger thereof are hated like the limetwigs of a lurching Cormorant when his féete are eschued as the craftie supporters of a pilfering Purloyner Briefely when him selfe with the whole packe appertaining vnto him are euen pointed at as they walke vp and downe in the stréetes for those who seeke to beguile and to deceiue no moe then haue any dealinges with them at all And in this respect those sellers them selues may fitly bée compared to a Snayle which neuer kéepeth in creeping about any ordinarie course but with windings and turnings conuayeth her selfe into her Cottage so surely such sellers as séeke onely for gaine they care not at all for kéeping a christian course in those their common affaires but séeke by windings and turnings to conuay themselues into the credit of their dayly customers not passing who lose so themselues may be sure for to winne No they make not any reckoning at all to deride a Iob. 12. 4. the simplicitie of the vpright and iust Yea they thinke that the wisedome of this worlde consisteth altogether in hiding their hart by subtill deuises in concealing the mind by coosining spéeches in making falsehoode séeme truth and truth to séeme falsehood And this wisdome also of theirs is found out of yong men by practize and of children likewise by paying some price for the same Loe these are the effects for the most part which folowing the former abuses doo both bring the whole bodie in bondage and make it also verie vglie and lothsome to others Ingroser These no doubt are most horrible effects But what I pray you are those other which drawe the bodie into danger No-bodie Surely 2. They drawe the body in danger either by their owne disordered dealings or by some outrage of others they are euen such as ensuing a carelesse and preposterous practise either of all or of any the former abuses do procure some present danger vnto the bodie it selfe And this also eyther by their owne disordered dealings or else by some outrage of other Pedler How first by their owne disordered dealings No-bodie When as those our fantasticall and foolehardie Chapmen 1 By their own disordered dealinges and how floating amaine beyond the vttermoste boundes of India and trudging about by Sea and by land by fire and water to foreshunne the prison of pouertie haue neither care of their health nor giue any regard at all to the abilitie and strength of their nature whereby their owne bodies doo either become subiect to sundrie perilous diseases or otherwaies are brought at vnwares to many strange and vntimely deathes Ingroser And how also by some outrage of other No-bodie Verely when as the seller by his vnconscionable hoording of coyne 2. By some outrage of others and how and his vncharitable withholding of help from the néedie do earnestly prouoke the common Swash-blades Make-shifts either to driue them for their purses into a very extreame and deadly feare or otherwise to bereaue them of breath and of goodes together And in this respect the sellers also themselues may againe be fitly compared vnto the creeping Snayle which being euermore drie on the out-side but yet very fat full of moisture and all greasie within is now and then compelled to plucke in her hornes hath her house by such as stand in néede of her grease broken ouer her head and her selfe without pitie depriued both of grease and of life So surely those sales-men who hoord to themselues without helping of others who when their compassion is craued of any are as drie on the outside as keckes though verie greasie within and fat for themselues and their owne a Iob. 20. 10. 11. they are often-times driuen in a deadly feare for their goodes haue their houses broken ouer their heads their coyne very cunningly conuayed from their Chestes and lastly themselues deliuered to death And thus much briefely for those perticuler effects which either doo defile the body or bring it in danger Eueri-bodie Vndoubtedly most fearfull effects and such as are able alone to make men amazed But these you say concerne onely the body what therefore are those other concerning the soule No-bodie They are such and so fearefull that I tremble to tell them for as those former effects which concerne only the bodie are of themselues euery way so vile and infectious that the Chapmen whatsoeuer hauing any participation therewith cannot choose but beare about with them in euery place the most vglie blots and staines of perpetuall reproche so surely those other concerning the soule are very horrible to heare too too monstrous to behold and most intollerable of all to endure being such as tend either to the hurt of the soule it selfe or else to the dishonour of God Ingroser How first to the hurt of the soule it selfe No-bodie When as the seller by those sinister dealings doth very carelesly suffer that liuely image of God in himselfe to be in a manner so fouly defaced 1. To the hurt of the soule it selfe being either most filthely distained with sinne or brought in to a carelesse condition deformed and obscured as no apparant token thereof may appeare to the world the same being either most filthely distained with sinne or otherwaies brought into a secure and carelesse condition Ingroser How first most filthely distained with sinne No-bodie When as the soule her selfe by meanes of those former abuses is brought to the participation of all outragious enormities 1. Being filthely distained with sinne and how As first to an vnconscionable desire of other mens goods Secondly to most strange and wicked imaginations which wayes that desire may be compassed Thirdly to most deuillish deuises how and by what meanes those imaginations of theirs might be brought to some passe And lastly to most pestilent practises for the spéedier accomplishment of those former most filthy deuises namely to cogging to cosinage to flatterie to lying to swearing and foreswearing it selfe with foure hundred such other vnspeakeable villanies Ingroser And how also by bringing the same into a secure careles condition Being broght into a careles condicion and how No-bodie Verely when as the soule being euery wayes ouerburdened with those beastly abuses is also verie dangerously drawne into such a continuall custome of sinning as not onely it is vtterly vnmindfull of God and his word but
