A46897	The traitor to himself, or, Mans heart his greatest enemy a moral interlude in heroic verse, representing the careless, hardned [sic], returning, despairing, renewed heart : with intermaskes of intepretation [sic] at the close of each several act : as it was acted by the boys of a publick school at a breaking up, and published as it may be useful on like occasion.	Johns, William, b. 1644?	1678 (1678)	Wing J766; ESTC R1381	25,335	52

Come Sir let 's go and all this work compleat In honour reinstate you in your Seat Guard and disarm those Slaves that they no more To Lupa May hope to rise and trouble as before Disarms Anoetus and Pathus Thus the great power that ruleth in the Skies Subdues the Base and makes the Worthy rise Exeunt The End of the Fifth Act. INTERMASKE Interpres and Scrutator meet Bow and Walk on c. Inter. COme Sir I've almost done what think you now O' th ' Hearts sharp torment and the bitter woe Sensible of a Sin polluted State From the most high justly deserving hate Scrut This dreadful Scene so discompos'd my Mind That I can scarcely yet it setled find Yet by the sweetning and refreshing close In Sympatizing Joies my fancie flows Here I observe that Lupa still doth stay By force nor flatterie will he away Inter. When once Affliction hath seis'd the Heart By the Divine Command 't will never part Either it will to reformation bring Or set a point upon the Conscience sting The Sparks of torments fire with it bears Which are not quencht but by repentant rears Scrut What means Cardian's fierce complaint and rage Which all their comforts hardly can asswage Inter. That shows the Hearts sad State and dreadful fear Poison'd with Sin when Death and Judgment 's near Where now unreconcil'd it must appear The sence of Sin raises that thick black Cloud Where slighted Mercie Comforts Face doth shrowd Scrut And yet those Slaves are interposing still What false hope flatters in the midst of ill Inter. Folly and Lust Repentance do oppose But sharp Affliction shuts the Mouth of those Scrut His faithful Councellors add to his grief To aggravate his crimes is small relief Sunidos weak to help doth grief inflame Idos no comfort gives but shows his shame Neglecting Councels in his Princes name Threatens his frowns and sudden lasting blame Advising him so weakly yet to move Again to seek his angry Princes love That Folly soon perswades to end that strife To cut off fear and trouble with his life Inter. So Knowledg of offence Conscience of Sin When by Affliction they are both call'd in Do set the Soul on rack small comfort give The Heart doth rather chuse to die than live In deep dispair Conscience though weak stops the too forward hand And puts that resolution to a stand Showing though he in danger was before That this new Sin will make his danger more Death 's not the way a Sin sick Soul to cure Nor ends Sins grief which ever will endure Such a dispairing stroke will make Damnation sure Scru. But the Ambassadour now comes again Offering him to free him from all pain Promises help Pardon and Princes love His Foes from their usurped Power to move If he but willing be clears every doubt Only unwillingness can keep comfort out Inter. See here the charming sweets of love Divine Which in the sacred Oracles do shine Affliction teaches Knowledge them to seek Which heal the sick in Soul confirm the weak Only unwillingness or unbelief Chain up the doubting Soul in drooping grief Faith breaks those bands makes willing to return And new inliv'ning flames of Joy do burn Renews obedience to the great Kings will That arms his hands his Lust and Sins to kill Scru. And thus restor'd to hope his thanks are paid To those that for him real kindness had Lupa himself who first did make him bow Finds grateful kindness is return'd him now Inter. The Heart being thus renew'd in Peace and calm ●inds that Affliction brought not wounds but balm A remedie against Sins sharpest ill Now taught thereby Gods precepts to fulfil Conscience and Knowledg as best Friends he chears Taught to seek saferie by their real fears But the sweet word of promises Divine Doth above all with greatest Lustre shine And justly challenges his greatest love By that new life his Sin dead Soul did move Scru. I thank you Sir you have perform'd your task There now remains no doubt for me to ask Inter. But now I doubt but not of you but these Points to the Presence Whether these empty toys them can please Your Pardon 't is I beg and patient Ear The Joyes of the renewed Heart to hear Curtains drawn within is discovered Cardian Crowned with Bayes encompassed by Kerux Idos and Sunidos who joyn Hands and hold drawn Swords in their right hands upright by them kneel Anoetus and Pathus their hands bound behind and Lupa standing behind holds a drawn Sword over their Heads Interpres with Scrutator standing at the lower end of the Stage thus describes it Inter. Scrutator there a double Emblem sees The Heart triumphant and safety of Peace Seru. Methinks my Eye discovers as it stands When faithful Councellors with joyned hands Encompass in the Govern our a round In Peace and safetie by their hands he 's crown'd The Rebels there to good behaviour ty'd Points to Anoetus and Pathus Peace and Protection guards every side Inter. Sir For the outside thus you judg aright While concords bands Governours Hearts unite Truth Wisdom Knowledg in those three are spoke That threefold Cord cannot be easily broke Where ever these together live in Peace There flourishes Prosperity and Ease Scru. Now let my Mind beguided by mine Eye To taste the sweets of the Moralitie Inter. Conscience and Knowledge do united join Guided and strengthned by the Word Divine The Heart 's at peace and safe Corruptions bound Broke by Affliction chain'd unto the ground No more arise to rule Points to Anoetus and Pathus Scru. Thus then those that would live before they die Must Flesh subdue and dear Lusts mortifie Inter. Now leave the Fable and the Moral tast To the Presence What 's spent on that can't be accounted wast Scru. We seek our selves to learn and teach The Heart deceitful we impeach Inter. Man may Man perswade amiss But out main desire is To teach aright and plainly show That which vertue bids us do Scru. Where we fail we Pardon crave We yet but small Experience have Inter. But by your graver Councels guide Hope to keep the safest side And what we learn so to improve To walk in Vertues which you love They retire bowing to the Prefence and then Card. speaks Card. Forth from the depth of black dispair I 'm brought To Happiness above the reach of thought Ido Your Peace now made by our great Kings kind Son You have a pardon for Rebellion Sunid But now you must no more to Folly turn In those hot Flames you 've felt avoid to burn Ker. And then the Bayes that now bud on your Brow Sall to Eternity for ever grow Path. While thus you guarded and advised stand There needs no other Chains to bind our hands Lupa Strugle you may but rule you shall no more While thus I guard to endanger as before Ano. We can't command and now we will obey Your Councels guide us in a righter way Ker. But from your King although your Pardon 's come Yet must you here expect another Doom Card. What must I do then Ido Step forth and beg their smile Acknowledg our Offences all this while Suni And beg their Pardon too for should they frown 'T would be a second loosing of the Town They loose hands and Cardian steps forth taking off his Crown of Bayes speaks THE EPILOGUE Car. Unerown'd again I now to you appear Methinks your presence does renew my fear But now I 'm taught Not to dispair but hope Your former kindness easily bought That gives my boldness scope I dare petition for our Pardon now When we have hop'd 't was granted long ago But when our own unworthyness I view Methinks my hopes are false my fears are true Offences now We do a new commit To raise an Anger on your Brow To make you thus long sit To hear us speak but poorly broken sence In ill plac'd Words increases our Offence Besides 't is an unpardonable Crime To mix with Fables things Divine in rime Therefore my Bayes Throws down his Wreath of Bays I here throw at your Feet 'T is you that must condemn or raise As you think meet But yet methinks you smile your looks are kind And gives new hope to our dispairing mind My Bayes I venture therefore to assume Take up Bayes Begging that Pardon you are wont to give 'T is that alone can clear our dusky fume My Bayes else wither if you are pleas'd they live Exit FINIS
