A01560	Distractions, or The holy madnesse Feruently (not furiously) inraged against euill men; or against their euills. Wherein the naughty are discouered to themselues, and others: and may here see at once, who they are; what they doe; and how they ought. Somewhat delightfull, but fruitfull altogether: as ordered to please a little; but aymed to profit much. By Iohn Gaule, vtrusque olim Academiæ.	Gaule, John, 1604?-1687.	1629 (1629)	STC 11689; ESTC S102992	78,981	617

faist thou but another after thee may proue as lauish as thou hast beene scraping as riotous as thou sparing and may scatter that in a Yeare which tooke thee a Life to gather and what profit hast thou that thou hast laboured for the Wind T is true and iust both said and Found After a great Getter there commonly comes a Spender Goods ill gotten are ill spent The First Heire may haue them and a Second perhaps all which a Third scarce comes to heare of Nay but I now bethinke me thou hast neuer an Heire For whom is it now thou dost so toyle and irke yea and damne thy selfe Thou knowest thou must not haue them and who must haue them thou knowest not Perhaps one that neuer knew thee or will neuer thanke thee HE puts thee in minde of such thy Frailty and Folly at once Man Walketh in a vaine Shadow and disquieteth himselfe in vaine he heapeth vp riches and cannot tell who shall gather them Tush why tell you him If no Body will lay claime to it let it fall to the King Church Commons Poore of the Parish But for feare of such a Forfeit thou hast chosen thee an Heire vnto thy selfe One that thou louest well yea better it seemes than thine owne Soule One that loues thee well and well he may and it be but for the loue hee hath to thine He cannot chuse but loue thee horribly while he loues Thine so impatiently That is he could wish Thee and Thine at once both hang'd and had yea to haue Thine what cares he to curse Thee to Hell He is one of the same Name I am sure though not one of the Kinne So so Keepe the House howsoeuer in the same Name belike the Line was not worthy of it ABSOLON hath no Childe for his Name to liue in shall he rot therefore out of remembrance no not while ABSOLONS Pillar stands If he haue no Monument of his Loynes he can haue a Pillar of his Name and that 's enough to vphold his House This is one of the last but not the least follies of Men to let a Title carry it before the Right To make Kinsmen Strangers and a Kinsman of a Stranger With the whole Price of an Heiredome to buy the Name of an Heire or an Heire of the Name To purchase a lying Affinity with a costly kinde of Adoption Nay but the Heire that must be is a Poore Sisters Sonne The poore rag'd Knaue I can tell you is like to be Lord of all He shall one day owne all that is his Vncles though his Vncle now scarce will owne him Not a Farthing will he allow him to educate and maintaine him though leaue him all at last to waste perhaps or else ingrosse You shall finde him set the first in his Will which neuer was suffered to sit the last at his Table It is the manner of the Couetous to part with nothing while they liue no not to those to whom they mind to leaue all at their Death While he liues all is too little for himselfe but let him take all to him when he dies His Heire is now beholden to him not for what he hath bestowed but for what he could not keepe And will therefore thanke him when he shall not heare him will pray for him when it shall doe him no good Thou now liest gasping and thine Heire is gaping Euery looke he lets vpon thee accuses the slownesse of thy Death For he thinkes it his Wrong and Hurt that thou liuest Hee sighs and wailes before thee not that he cares for thy losse but hopes for thy Gaine How he howles and blubbers while thy hands quake Teeth guash Eyes close Breath stops Heart choaks and Soule flits all not so much that thou art now dead as that thou diedst not ere this No Mans Death is more desired than the Couetous Mans It is alwayes expected plotted often yea and sometimes vntimely effected All therefore wish him dead because like the Hog in the Pot he doth good to none but after his Death Well thou 'lt therefore shake off these Shadowes and mind'st I heare to build some Hospitall Schoole Colledge or doe some charitable Deed withall Sayes he so The Man liues poore I perceiue with purpose to die rich and dies rich to doe good after his Death Yea then doe Good when he can doe no longer hurt He hath robbed Peter all his Life and will now pay Paul at his Death That is no Liberalitie to giue when he can no longer haue no Charitie to releeue one with what he hath wrested from another no Pietie to doe Euill that Good may come thereof and no Equitie to get ill with a purpose to bestow it well I would not wish thee to goe to Hell all thy Life with an intent to win Heauen after thy Death Dost thou offend still with purpose to make amends Wealths well bestowing is not enough for the Fault in the getting Satisfaction may appease the Hurt it cannot wipe away the Guilt of Fraud or Oppression But if thou wilt doe Good withall I would aduise thee to doe it while thou hast it in thine hand to doe Doe well with it while it is yet thine What thanks is it to thee what Good is done with it when thou hast left it Doe then resigne it before thou must needs bequeath it thou hadst as good doe Good by thy selfe as others Euen now feed and cloath the Poore that their Loynes and Bowels may blesse thee before thou diest He is but a silly Traueller that so orders for his Iourney as to haue his Prouision sent after him when himselfe is already gone so farre before He may well want it ere it ouertake him Good Workes goe merrily with or before vs they follow but slowly afterwards I dreame but too well of him there 's no such matter he meanes He meanes as Hermocrates to make himselfe his owne Heire and wishes still that his Goods might fall by succession to himselfe Or else with Another will he deuoure his Gold before his Death and so bury it in him Or with such Another sow it in his Sleeue and appoint it to be buried with him Ah this bewitching Wealth ha this Gold this Gold how it ties Mens Hearts vnto it Once Couetous and alwayes so Auarice is commonly the Vice of old Age Whereas other vices then fade this grows afresh And as it begins with Age so it ends not but with Life A Couetous Man growes the fonder of his Gold the sooner he must forgoe it Yea when it must needs Leaue him euen then is he loth to leaue it I haue now said so much of thee that I had almost forgotten my selfe Who thinkst thou am I Euen no better than I would no other than thou oughtst to be Will I like thee abase mine Affections vnto Earth when I am bound to ayme at nothing vnder Heauen To what can I stoope to in a World that am aboue a World I am
