any good man or woman shee breaks it in the egge and will not give it the reputation of credit much lesse of report if any uncertain good she had rather beleeve it then question it so she makes her worst neighbours better and her good she improves In bargaines for her husband she rather makes a wise bargaine then a crafty she had rather save then circumvent the loves not to hide leven in the lump of her husbands fortune nor dares trust her stock with laying up what Oppression must make good againe She likes not gilded pills she knowes they may prove too Cathartick In a word the State suffers what her husband gaines that she wanted the power of a greater man to doe more good since her will is answerable to the best and her wisdome not inferiour to her will You City-dames who imitate Court-Ladies in their greatest state Learne but the dresse which here you have You may much cost and labour save And be esteemed better far Nay honoured more then Ladies are Then thank my Country which hath lent Your City such a president XII A sharking Committee-man Is one trusted with more then he is worth he is like Ezechiels lesser wheele moved by the greater if he doe discharge his trust yet there may be Treason in it if not there must be knavery He reads the Turkish History with passion when he considers the great Turks policy to imploy greedy slaves and the cunningest in the places of greatest profit that he may satisfie his people with his justice and get all that by escheat which hee had heaped by oppression Hee feares not God so much as the people doe him who sacrifice to him as the Indians to the Devill ne noceat He hath still in his bosome the horror of two dayes of Judgement the one at Westminster which he fears more then the last when ever it come The faces of the Committee for Examinations are more dreadfull to his sense then the thought of the last day to his ●eared conscience His Antidote is a Paramount friend of the Quorum and if he faile him he is a lost man No Sheriffe was ever quicker with his Elegit then he with his Capias for Body Goods and Lands which they call a Sequestration though the party may justly plead the Statute of this Parliament in barre of his oppression if the priviledge of person or propriety of goods were as really intended as pretended yet he fears no futura contingentia but his Paramounts favour in which he hath no more terme then Villains have in Villanage during pleasure that is Dum bene se gesserit in omnibus He heaps wealth to purchase favour and gets that to purchase wealth with which he buyes his Heire a Command and in conclusion gets a Garrison of ease where he and his Cub may kennell and like the Fox retreats to his hole when he is hunted this will make his peace if well managed with either party In a word if ever he come to a Jury his countenance will cast him for that is as full of guilt as his conscience of horror He who hath the least skill in Phisiognomie shall finde furcam in fronte or crucem in facie and if any cast his nativity and will be at the charge of a Scheame you shall finde Saturne and Mars in conjunction in the house of Mercurie all malignant yet he a sincere Professor alias a knave in graine or a Traitor gradibus intensis XIII Britanicus his pedigree A fatall prediction of his end I Dare affirme him a Jew by descent and of the Tribe of Benjamin lineally descended from the first King of the Jewes even Saul or at best he ownes him and his Tribe in most we reade of them First of our English Tribes I conceive his Fathers the lowest and the meanest of that Tribe Stocke or generation and the worst how bad soever they be melancholly he is as appeares by his sullen and dogged wit malicious as Saul to David as is evident in his writings he wants but Sauls javelin to cast at him he as little spares the Kings Friends with his pen as Saul did Jonathan his Sonne in his reproach and would be as free of his javelin as his pen were his power sutable to his will as Ziba did to Mephibosheth so does he by the King he belies him as much to the world as he his Master to David and in the day of adversitie is as free of his tongue as Shimei was to his Soveraigne and would be as humble as he and as forward to meet the King as he was David should the King returne in peace Abishaes there cannot want to cut off the Dogs head but David is more mercifull then Shimei can be wicked may he first consult with the witch of Endor but not worthy of so noble a death as his owne sword die the death of Achitophel for feare of David then may he be hangd up as the Sonnes of Saul were against the Sunne or rather as the Amalekites who slew Isb●sheth and brought tidings and the tokens of the treason to David may his hands and his feet be as sacrifices cut off and hung up and so pay for the Treasons of his pen and tongue May all heads that plot Treasons all tongues that speake them all pens that write them be so punisht If Sheba paid his head for his tongues fault what deserves Britanicus to pay for his pen and trumpet Is there never a wise woman in London we have Abishaes XIIII The Phaenix of the Court IS a Ladie whose birth and beautie called her to the Court as fit to attend Majestie yet her vertues and discretion fixt more honour upon her then either though admired for the one as much honoured for the other Though her beautie like Hellens might beget a war in competition yet these command a reverence as much as those inforce affection her words hold waight as well as her actions she waighes them before she utters them much more her actions which are twice waighed and give authoritie to others and are rather admired then imitated yet ought as well to be imitated as admired for her companie it is if voluntarie such as she would be thought to be her reall devotion is canonicall in relation to order if occasion fail not and to her self yet none more duly observes the assigned houres for Gods Worship her frequent attendance on Gods service is not enjoyned as a penance but spontaneous not with hope of merit for that spoils and prejudices even charitie which is the seasoning of our workes but lookes upon mercie with humilitie rather then merit with confidence for she workes her salvation out of the fire with feare and trembling yet she wants not a graine of lively faith nor charitie the one assuring her Soule the other the world of that happinesse which neither the subtiltie nor malice of the wicked or their master can rob her of nor the world take from
