distinction for there is no temperance without patience and patience is a kinde of temperance Temperance is pace and moderate proceeding bringeth lowly snailes as slowly as they goe to the top of high towers when gaping and fluttering Rookes breake their necks for hast out of their lofty nests Temperance is the protectrix of all other vertues for Socrates was wont to say that hee which would loue his countrey as his owne life must aboue all things loue temperance or abstinence and flie from selfe will and excesse as from a Syren and Epictetes the Stoicke did as it were knit vp all Phylosophy in two words Suffer and Abstaine In the first whereof we may learne to beare aduersitie with a good minde in the second to abstaine from our owne wils and vaine sed●cings Temperance keepeth our affections in order for otherwise if our appetite might seede alwaye on Manna wee would loath it if our inheritance did stretch to the plaine of Iordan we would goe beyond it and if we were seated in heauen we would lift vp our heads aboue it Temperance was surely wanting when E●ah thought not Paradise sufficient for her habi●aton the dainties of Eden sweete enough for her taste nor the presence of God good enough for her company and contentment Temperance teacheth men to vse riches endure pouertie yea to moderate prosperitie and ouercome aduersitie Temperance vseth wine moderately to the comforting the heart and quickning the wit whereas taken in excesse it dulleth the memory weakeneth the sence corrupteth the blood troubleth the stomacke infuseth error and bringeth vs to ignorance Temperance poyseth vertue in a meane and moderate scale and hope of attaining future good by moderation keepeth our wicked wils from extrauagant ranging Temperance keepes the spirits at rest and in order which otherwise would burst into passions and extremities but nothing excessiuely violent is durable nor any thing orderly moderate is easily mutable Temperance brought most of the Romane warres to perfection all the great Captaines to glory Thus Q● Fabius ouercame Hanniball and Scipi● Spaine yea in his abstinence from the beautiful captiue espoused to Iudibilis he wonne the hearts of all the people and setled the Romane Empire Temperance is diet keepes the bodie in helth but a cleare conscience is the soundnesse of the foule Temperance ioyned with modesty teacheth apparell to couer nakednesse and meate to nourish nature but feasts cause surfe●ting riches pride voluptuousnesse idlenes and excesse ouerthrowes all Temperance is the way to walke to perfection and as when we looke in a glasse and see the spots in our face vnlesse the hand be li●ted vp to make all cleane it is to no purpose So though wisedome discouer our imperfections yet if temperance assist not to reformation vices will spread farther and farther to our finall ruine Time This is the cure of griefe the end of hope To all thy wishes time affords thee scope TIme ouercommeth all labour and endeth the greatest miserie and heauines for how forcible soeuer sorrowes seeme yet there must be an ending as there was a day of beginning Time amongst many other wayes is not least of all lost in telling lies and wonders and seldome are such men beleeued in true relations like the shepheards boy that called the shepheards to helpe him for the Wolfe was comming for a Lambe who therupon startled came once or twise bu were deceiued for the wanton boy did mocke them with a lie whereupon when the Wolfe indeede was come they would not beleeue him and so lay still vntill the Lambe was gone and the boyes was turned to crying Time betwixt infancy and age seemeth long but in respect of eternitie it is much lesse then a minute for God is before and after all times which beare no proportion to his induring Time is pretious to the wise but vile to a foole to the learned a treasure to the lasie tedious to the blessed ioyfull and to the damned horrible for in hell their pai●e is surpassing and perpetuall Time is vnrecouerable and threfore not to bee spent in want on fictions or idle fantasies or vaine pleasures Time watche th●our life for the euening tels what the day hath done the weeke casteth vp the dayes account the monthes the weekes the yeeres the monthes our life the yeeres and death our life and all our actions Time makes the snail● clime a great height though hee hasten but a slow pace the warmth of the Sunne recouers dead flies the graine of mustard-seede becommeth a tree the small seeds of the earth spred to florishing branches and al naturers works come to perfection in their due time Time is not to bee let slip for a bright morning may haue a blacke day and a glorious day a gloomy euening Time is lost when wee labour in vaine but whē we to work euil it s to abuse both wit and time so time gained is a proofe of wit but abused the reproofe of wickednesse Time of har●est is ioyfull to the husband-men of receiuing fees to to the lawyer of taking rents to the Gentlemen of rest and case to the souldier laborer of expences to the prodigall of releeuing the poore to the charitable and so in infinite other particulars Time is pictured like Fortune with a hairy foretop and bald behinde to shew that we must catch hold of time while shee offers her selfe and not let slip an opportunity to to do vs good for there is no hold fast to be taken when she is past and gone Time is pretious to the vnderstanding spirit and labour easie to the louing heart while losse of time is the shame of folly and forced paine brings vnpleasing profit Time trieth all things and openeth the eyes of true vnderstanding making the eye of nature to guide the whole world in good order the eye of reason to run the course of nature the eye of art to note the rules of reason but the eye of wisedome to take grace for her direction Time lost is hardly to bee recouered olde sores are hardly healed credite crackt is hardly restored and long quarrels hardly quieted Time lost is the effect of folly the shame of wit the rudenesse of will the rust of sence the raine of reason the wound of sinne the woe of man Time and tides must be watched for if they will not tarrie for kings let not inferiour persons expect to command the heauens Traueller I Countries vices manners men obserue Learn languages and would good fame deserue TRaueller is an excellent hunts-man of idlenes and Phisitian

extinct Traueller must doe more then looke on goodly buildings and gaze on beautifull faces lest he be like to his carriage truncke that is remo●ed hither and thither to serue his idle humours to

body to a consumption Pouertie is fittest for a begger and a godly life yet many honest men would not aime at such a marke nor walke in such a pilgrimage Pouertie hath more reliefe by the hand then the tongue as God is more honoured with the heart then the lippe Pouertie makes hunger a good sawce but too much takes away the stomach Pouertie without redresse is like a naked body without a raiment and both finde but cold comfort in compassionate words For a word without a substance is like a small light that maketh the little yeelde a great shadow Player I should be vertuous sith to vice I act As makes both me and others loath the fact PLaier was not taken in ill part at the first but counted both a glory and a cōmendation for as an Orator was most forcible in his ellocution so was an actor in his gesture and personated action Player and Historian were gracious in all Common-welths for as their Tragedies and Comedies were seeldome vsed so when they were vsed it serued for honourable purpose either for the glory of a Court the priuate pleasure of a Prince the gracing of triumphs the famosing of great Captaines or the personating some particular humors Plaier was euer the life of dead poesie and in those times that Philosophy taught vs morall precepts these acted the same in publicke showes so that vice was made odious vertue set on a throne of immitaon punishment warranted to the wicked reward afforded to well deseruers fathers prouoked to prouident loue children taught obedience and all sorts seuerally instructed in their seuerall callings Player is now a name of contempt for times corrupt men with vice and vice is growne to a height of gouernment so that whereas before men were affraid to offend they now thinke it a disgrace to bee honest whence the eie must be satisfied with vanitie the care with bawdery ● the hand with obscenitie the heart with lust the feete with wandrings and the whole body and soule with pollutions in all which Players are principall actors Players Poets and Parasites doe now in a manner ioyne hands and as Lucifer fell from heauen through pride these haue fallen from credit through folly so that to chast eares they are as odious as filthy pictures are offensiue to modest eyes Players haue by communitie mared their owne markets for as vertue is the better by enlargement and communication so is vice the worse by disimulation and common infusion of it's contagious poyson Players are discredited in the very subiect of their profession which is onely scratching the itching humours of scabbed minds with pleasing content and prophane iests and how can he be well reputed that employes all his time in vanity and lies counterfeting and practising nothing else Player is affraid of the plague as much as a cowherd of a musket for as deth is formidable to the one so is pouertie and wants to the other Player is affraid of the statute for if he haue no better supportation then his profession he is neither admitted in publicke nor if hee bee a roamer dares iustifie himselfe in priuate being a flat roague by the statute Plaiers practises can hardly be warranted in Religion for a man to put on womans apparell and a woman a mans is plaine prohibition I speake not of execrable oathes artificiall lyes discoueries of cousenage scurrulus words obscene discourses corrupt courtings licentious motions lasciuious actions and lewde iesture s forall these are incident to other men but here is the difference in these they come by imperfection in them by profession Player is a great spender and indeed may resemble strumpets who get their money filthily and spend it profusely Player is much out of countenance if fooles doe not laugh at them boyes clappe their hands pesants ope their throates and the rude raskal rabble cry

weapon pregnancy of wit and such like in all which hee resembleth an exceellnt spring of water which growes the more sweeter and the more plentifull by the often drawing out of it so are all these the more perfect and plausible by the often practise Player is at the first very bashfull as strucken with a maze at the multitude which being of various dispositions will censure him accordingly but custome maketh perfectnesse and emboldeneth him sometimes to be shamelesse Player must take heede of wrested and enforced action for if there be not a facility in his deliuerance and as it were a naturall dexteritie it must needes sound harsh to the auditour and procure his distast and displeasure Player is like a garment which the Tailor maketh at the direction of the owner so they frame their action at the disposing of the Poet so that in trueth they are reciprocall helpes to one another for the one writes for money and the other plaies for money the spectator payes his money Pride I vsher nought but falls but Angells fell Before mee no but with me downe to hell PRide is much abated when a man thinketh on his sinnes as a Peacock puts downe his taile when hee beholdeth his deformed feet Pride in authoritie maketh pouerty looke for misery but wisedome abstaineth from extremities and maketh vertue gracious Pride insulteth ouer miserie and is for the most part coupled with Malice
