Tryon.	Tryon, Thomas, 1634-1703.	1691 (1691)	Wing T3205; ESTC R34680	81,040	161

not himself or what is a Man the better if he have himself and wants all others or what is he the nearer if he have himself and others and yet want God or in fine what boots it me to be a Man if I be either Wrathful Proud or Envious 352. He is Rich enough that wants not Necessaries he is great enough that is his one Master and he is Happy enough that Lives and Dies well 353. Even the best Things ill used becomes Evil and on the other side the worst Things used well turns to Good a good Tongue used to Deceit a good Wife used to defend Errors a strong Arm to Murther Authority to Oppress a good Profession to Dissemble and Cheat People are all Evil contrariwise as Poysons may in wholsome Medicines Afflictions and Sins by a good use proves of great Advantage 354. There is nothing more easie than Lipp Divinity and Breath Religion to discourse of Spiritual Matters from the Tongue of others but to hear it spoke from the Soul to feel the Power of Religion in our Hearts subduing our Affections and mortifying our Lusts and to express it out of the Truth of Experience is both rare and hard and yet without this the other is nothing worth but will rather increase our Condemnation 355. The Soul of Man through Evil and Disobedience has broken it self off from Gods Holy Will whence Darkness and all Misery doth overwhelm him and seperate him from that Equallity and Temperature he was made to live in and so becomes Blind as to God and Virtue 356. Nor can any way or means restore him but the Love of God viz. by being Obedient unto the Spirit of Iesus Christ which opposeth all Fierce Wrath Violence Oppression and other Poysonous Influences of the Serpent and leads Man into Humility Love Innocency Self-Denial which are the Fruits of the New-Birth 357. Note that all Things do most ardently covet a suitable Food so that neither Body nor Spirits can subsist without it hath proper Aliment and according to that Principle that predominates either Good or Evil so are clean innocent Meats and Drinks or their contraries desired or used 358. In all the fierce savages of the Desart and Beasts of Prey wherein the Poisonous Wrath doth predominate yet is not this wild and untamed Nature any Evil or Perplexity to them because such their fierce Inclinations and Beastial Dispositions are all according to their radix so that they enjoy as much Delight and Pleasure as the more clean and tractable Animals do 359. But still the very sight and looks of these fierce Creatures are a terrour to the more gentle and friendly Natures of clean Beasts so that what is an evil or terrour to one thing is the cause of Delight and Joy to another for every Creatures highest Satisfaction consists in its living and continuing in the Power and Operation of that Principle wherein it was originally made or brought forth 360. Therefore Man being made in the Image of God all Uncleanness Wrath Violence Oppression and Beastiality are the Troubles and Snares of his Soul because he was made in and to another Principle viz. to live in the Divine Power and Operation of the Holy Light and Love of God 361. The same is to be understood of the fallen Angels their Evil and Misery is that they have through Pride Envy and evil Inclinations immers'd themselves into another Principle than what they were made for they were formed by the Divine Powers to live in the light and love of God Fierceness and Pride was not manifest in their first State therefore Wrath and Darkness is their Pain and Torment 362. But wild Beasts of Prey were made and derive their predominant property from the Wrath of the outward Nature which hath its Original from the inward and to live in and to it and consequently have as much Pleasure and Delight in their Being as the more friendly tame Beasts have who were made from the more benign and equal Nature and though some Beasts are wild and cruel yet they are not to be despised or too cruelly used since they were made so in the Roots of their Natures by the All-wise Creator and are not fallen from their first Estate 363. He that entertains Violence in the Centre of his Heart is comprehended in the Fierce Wrathful Nature or Principle of Darkness be his Form of Religion what it will 364. No Man can Honour God nor bring Glory to him in his Love principle of Light but only by bringing down his Will and Desires even from the Centre of his Heart into Innocency and Well-doing 365. But all Men in the World do Honour and Glorifie God either in his Love or Anger according to what Principle they live in For as the Apostle saith The Sober and Virtuous are a sweet savour unto the Lord of Peace in the Holy Power of his Kingdom of Love and Light and on the other side the Wicked are a savour of Death in the Kingdom of Wrath Fierceness and Eternal Woe 366. As Earthly Princes cannot possibly punish so they cannot prescribe Laws to Mens Souls nor does it concern the Temporal State of this World how Men do Worship their Maker provided they yield Obedience to the Civil Laws of their Country and pay their Tribute and live innocent sober Lives for such Subjects are so far from being dangerous to the Governments that they are the grand preservers of the Peace and Happiness of those Countries wherein they live 367. Man knows very little of the wonderful Work of God in the outward visible Nature but much less of the invisible Mystical Spiritual Kingdom from whence all the external Forms Figures Shapes Bodies and Virtues proceed 368. He that is Angry or Contends with his Brother about outward Forms and Ceremonies in Religion provided Men be Virtuous and fear the Lord does really fight and contend with their great Creator who hath made all Men and all Things to differ and vary in their Colours Shapes Inclinations and Dispositions 369. Consider what great Impressions and almost invinceable Prejudices Education and the Modes of Countries or Places do make in the Hearts and Souls of Men so that what is esteemed a great Evil in one Country is not in another nay especial Evils comes to be esteemed no Evils at all especially in such as are not govern'd by the in-shining and in-dwelling Light of Jesus Christ. 370. Behold and learn Wisdom Charity and Moderation from the Beasts of the Field they are contented to Feed together in one Pasture though they are of various Kinds and will all Drink of one Fountain without complaining or quarrelling about their Meats Drinks Colours Shapes Likeness Greatness Fatness or Leanness but all live in Peace and Union obeying the great common and Universal Law of God in Nature and so answer that end for which they were made to the Praise and Glory of their Creator 371. Know therefore and conclude for certain that

things and are swifter then the Wind so that near and afar off is all alike to them 210. Know also that this Invisible Eternal Spark as it is an Image of its Creator so it is always in motion and as active when the Body and sences are asleep as in the day from whence proceeds Dreams for that which is Eternal standeth not still 211. How strange then and yet how true it is that this Excellent Dignified Creature Man should be the grand Trouble of the World and the Enrager of all the Elements 212. For from whom proceeds Tumults Wars Noise Killing Fighting Oppression Violence Disorder Hatred Malice Backbiting Jearing Scoffing Vain Plays and all kind of Evil is it not Man that is the Author and Actor of all these Tragedies 213. For he having descended and throughout his depraved Will entred into the first Principle or fierce Wrath of God and the savage nature of this External Principle has thereby subjected himself to every inferior thing and becomes the lowest and most miserablest of mortal Creatures 214. Therefore look about and into thy self Man and seriously consider the cause of this thy Degeneration 215. In the next place apply thy self to the Voice of Wisdom viz. to thy Redeemer Jesus Christ that came to seek and save that which was lost 216. Draw near with thy Will and Desires unto Him to be guided by His Holy Spirit to learn of Him and to be Obedient unto His Voice 217. He alone gives Bread to the Hungry and Ease to the Weary He will give and teach thee all that is wanting and restore what thou hast lost 218. His Yoak is easie and His Burden is light from this Divine Fountain flows Rivers of living Waters let all drink freely which will infallibly cure them of all their old desperate Distempers 219. As thou increasest in Knowledge remember that thou dost increase in Obedience Separation and Self-denial or else thou shalt increase in Sorrow as the Wise Man saith 220. Reveal not thine own secrets nor those of others committed to thy Breast 221. Make much of the Wisdom the Lord hath endued thee with and cast not thy Pearls before Swine 222. Count not thy Blood that runs in thy Veins better then thy poor Neighbours for God made both of one Lump and all proceed from one Stock 223. Consider and let it dwell upon thy Mind and Understanding that nothing makes Man acceptable before his blessed Creator but only Virtue and Obedience to his Commandments 224. As to the Things and Goods of this World Death equals all Men. 225. When thou seest Lame Crooked Decriped People or such who labour under any cruel or loathsom Diseases let it not only move pity and compassion but in a special manner give the Lord hearty Acknowledgement of his wonderful favour that he has not made thee so 226. Take not so much care to get Money as to spend it well 227. Consider that he that spends Talents daily must use ways to get them which being oftentimes unjust prove hazardous to the Health both of Body and Mind 228. He that has attained the true knowledge of himself is very rich and knows as his wants are but small so they are very easily supplied 229. After hard Walking or tedious Labours or any kind of Exercise that has exhausted your Spirits remember to Rest before you Eat or Drink 230. But if there be a necessity of Eating and Drinking do it sparingly and of Foods of easie concoction 231. Much talking for weakly People and upon weariness is injurious to Health 232. Silence does wonderfully recover the Natural Spirits and beget appetite and gives many advantages to the Mind 233. Eat not in a morning before you Labour or Travel or if you do let it be things easie and in small quantity 234. But when you Labour or Travel remember to Eat and Drink before your Spirits grow flat or are wasted or else you hurt Nature and procure Diseases 235. After long Fasting or on great Stomachs be sure to observe the Rules of Temperance and proportion and beware then of too great a quantity which at such times is very apt to steal upon a Man and insnare him into heaviness and indispositions 236. He that considers the power of Simpathy and Antipathy may avoid many Inconveniencies 237. Be friendly to all things for by Love every thing is attracted and made better 238. But Violence and Oppression do not only separate Man from his Creator but also from the Good in all things and increaseth Enmity 239. Art thou a Person Saturnine Sower Melancholy Dogged Envious and subject to suspect Divine Providence then turn the Eye of thy Mind inwards and hearken and learn of Wisdom that thou mayest withstand this Evil Genius by Faith in God and following Wisdoms Voice 240. Art thou a Martialist Proud Fiery and Passionate then allay those Storms by the meek and gentle Influences of Wisdom and stand still and hear what the Lord will teach thee 241. Art thou a Jovial Person inclined to Religion have a care thou dost not disallow that in others that thou dost allow in thy self 242. Art thou a Venial Person inclined to Plays Games Dancings lewd obscene Musick and Women then call upon the Lady Faith and Prayer for strength and embrace Temperance and Sobriety and as much as in thee lies avoid the sight and company of Lewd or petulent wanton Women 243. Art thou a Mercurian apt to speak much and to little purpose to boast and lie and unfixed and irresolute in thy thoughts call upon the Lord for Wisdom who will teach thee both Wisdom Silence and Stability 244. Art thou under the government of the Moon and subject by inclination to Revelling Swearing Drinking and all kinds of Wantonness then turn towards Wisdom and pray against these Vices and also oppose them by all the contrary Virtues as Silence Temperance Self-denial and the like 245. Such whose Labours and Exercises are but little and whose Lives are sedentary ought to remember that their Meats and Drinks ought to be proportionable viz. more mean and simple then those that labour hard but the quite contrary is now a-days practised which brings upon them many great mischiefs 246. Art thou a poor Man and hard Laborious then forget not Frugality and Temperance which if embraced will chear and comfort thy Heart and make thee as rich as a Prince and both sufficiently supply thy Wants and ease thee from immoderate Labour of Body and care of Mind See our Book Intituled Wisdoms Call or a Dialogue between Sophronio and Guloso where this is demonstrated at large and that the great Wants poor People suffers and the hard Labours they undergo is chiefly through their want of Wisdom and Temperance and a discreet choice of Foods 247. If Men did take but half the pains in the Study of Virtue and Wisdom as they do to obtain the perishing Goods of this World they might be Crowned with Temporal and Eternal Happiness 248.

of Butter and less of Cheese 503. Bread Water and Flower without any farther preparation Bread and Milk Herbs and Bread Fruit and Bread are the most useful and necessary Foods which are ready at hand and may be obtained by every one with little labour of Body or trouble of Mind 504. All Men ought to consider that the chief cause of all Diseases and Unhealthiness to young and old is for want of Government and Wisdom and the desiring those things that are out of the ways of simple Nature 505. There are not many Diseases where Men walk in Natures Path and avoid Compositions and as much as in them lies fiery Preparations 506. The more Men imitates Nature the nearer they come to their first State of Innocency and thereby obtain Health of Body and vigor of Mind 507. An Example of this we have in all Animals or Beasts who continue in that pure Law they were made in and placed under how Healthy most of them are when Men do not render them otherwise by Oppression and Disorders 508. Keep therefore O Man unto thy Heavenly Guide that the Lord hath placed in the very Center of thy Heart turn thy Eyes inward and learn Wisdom this Divine Spark and holy Son of Light if obeyed in the Life thereof will readily shew and teach Man all things both for Divine and Human that are necessary for this Life and that which is to come 309. Study thy self for that worthy thing in thee cannot be known nor its Voice distinguished from other Voices but only by Self-denial Sobriety and Cleanness in the practise of Silence alone leaning on the Shoulders of none but only thy beloved Jesus 510. Remember that the true pleasure of Temperance and the many benefits that follow Sobriety cannot be imagined by those that lives Riotous Lives so neither can the sweet Influences thereof be enjoyed without self-denial and some trouble to old Adam 511. If thou wilt know God and the sweet Influences of his good Spirit in thy own Soul then thou must live as it were alone for there is but little Company in the ways of Virtue and Self-denial 512. There is nothing does make Men more sensible of Gods Blessings then Temperance and Cleanness in Meats Drinks Imployments and Communications 513. How ready are the sober of Mind to give the Lord Thanks for his Mercies and how sweet is every mean thing 514. Temperance is endued with Divine Power it fits the Mind for the Worship of God their Beds are easie their sleep sound not subject to Indispositions nor molested with Fevers their Heads are not dulled with Fumes nor their Stomachs oppressed with fainting Fits or windy griping Humours they rise as fresh as the morning Sun and are fit for the Exercises both of the Body and Mind their Radical moisture flowes freely through every part like a pleasant Gale of Wind which moderates the Centeral Fires that they burn not too violently This excellent State of Body and Mind is not attainable without the fear of the Lord and self denial which are the first steps to all true Wisdom both Spiritual and Natural The Benefits of Temperance and Mischiefs of the contrary Vice 1.

Temperance knows what that Glorious Liberty is the Great Apostle speaks of that the whole Creation groans to be delivered into and by its sweet influences attracts all things that are capable unto that pure Fountain 15. Temperance illuminates the Soul and makes Mens Reasons Divine 16. On the contrary Intemperance is the greatest Evil on Earth because the Seed-plot of all other Evils and most unlike our Blessed Creator for the superfluous Man wants all things but God wants nothing 17. Intemperance wounds the Body with Diseases and the Soul with Ignorance and Blindness perpetually perplexing the latter with greedy Desires and the former with needless Toils 18. Intemperance hood-winks the Soul so that it cannot distinguish between what is good and profitable and the contrary thereby obstructing and violating the Way and Law of God in Nature 19. Intemperance is the Original of all evil and vain Imaginations it makes Men turn Rebels and imbroils the World with Plots and Wars that they may gratifie their own unbridled Lusts. 20.
