A89235	Miscellanea spiritualia: or, Devout essaies: composed by the Honourable Walter Montagu Esq.; Miscellanea spiritualia. Part 1.	Montagu, Walter, 1603?-1677.; Marshall, William, fl. 1617-1650, engraver.	1648 (1648)	Wing M2473; Thomason E519_1; ESTC R202893	256,654	397

i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o prefer_v the_o porch_n of_o solomon_n before_o the_o sanctuary_n i_o intend_v to_o keep_v the_o due_a distance_n in_o my_o measure_n between_o sacred_a and_o secular_a vocation_n each_o of_o they_o stand_v in_o their_o proper_a order_n and_o constitute_v the_o grace_n and_o decency_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o king_n david_n do_v love_v so_o much_o for_o as_o the_o father_n have_v many_o mansion_n in_o his_o house_n so_o the_o son_n have_v several_a office_n in_o he_o sort_v to_o those_o distinction_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n marshal_n and_o rank_n all_o those_o diversity_n of_o calling_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o to_o frame_v a_o harmonious_a consonancy_n between_o both_o house_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a according_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n inform_v we_o that_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n and_o difference_n of_o administration_n make_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n who_o divide_v to_o every_o one_o several_o as_o he_o will_n 12._o wherefore_o my_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o measure_v or_o weigh_v the_o preferablenesse_n of_o several_a vocation_n but_o only_o to_o set_v that_o of_o courtier_n rectify_v and_o straight_o in_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o not_o only_o the_o consistence_n of_o this_o call_n with_o piety_n may_v be_v evidence_v against_o the_o popular_a traducement_n but_o that_o also_o the_o advantage_n of_o this_o vocation_n be_v right_o balance_v with_o the_o prejudices_fw-la may_v confute_v courtier_n themselves_o in_o this_o error_n of_o suppose_v they_o may_v discharge_v part_n of_o their_o infidelity_n to_o god_n upon_o the_o infelicity_n of_o their_o vocation_n in_o order_n to_o piety_n every_o state_n of_o life_n have_v a_o assignment_n of_o grace_n commensurate_n to_o the_o necessity_n of_o that_o call_n all_o thing_n be_v dispose_v in_o number_n weight_n and_o measure_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n inform_v we_o 12._o so_o that_o although_o the_o temptation_n be_v more_o in_o number_n and_o weight_n then_o in_o more_o retire_v and_o in_o glorious_a course_n yet_o the_o ability_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o person_n be_v common_o strong_a than_o in_o vulgar_a station_n whereby_o they_o be_v better_o enable_v to_o apprehend_v their_o dangerous_a exposure_n and_o accept_v they_o from_o the_o divine_a order_n as_o a_o rend_a charge_n of_o peril_n lay_v upon_o the_o plenty_n of_o their_o temporal_a estate_n by_o which_o discernment_n they_o may_v convert_v even_o the_o species_n of_o their_o seducement_n into_o the_o treasure_n of_o patience_n and_o humility_n derive_v from_o the_o perilous_a part_n of_o their_o condition_n conclusion_n against_o the_o worth_n of_o thing_n never_o so_o glorious_a be_v but_o transitory_a since_o by_o these_o fruition_n great_a and_o eternal_a glory_n be_v so_o much_o endanger_v and_o by_o this_o reflection_n even_o all_o those_o fiery_a dart_n which_o fly_v about_o the_o court_n head_v with_o the_o wild_a fire_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n though_o they_o have_v a_o fabulous_a surname_n which_o the_o poet_n have_v invent_v to_o disguise_v they_o to_o wit_n the_o golden_a shaft_n of_o cupid_n quite_o contrary_a to_o this_o their_o due_a ascription_n when_o they_o light_v upon_o this_o shield_n of_o faith_n and_o expectance_n of_o eternal_a joy_n and_o glory_n be_v easy_o extinguish_v so_o that_o a_o good_a humble_a courtier_n march_v as_o i_o have_v direct_v he_o in_o all_o his_o way_n upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o humility_n and_o poverty_n of_o spirit_n may_v keep_v a_o safe_a course_n in_o all_o the_o high_a story_n of_o fortune_n and_o be_v no_o more_o scorch_v with_o pride_n or_o vanity_n then_o with_o firework_n play_v in_o the_o air_n and_o though_o the_o prince_n of_o that_o region_n entertain_v all_o court_n much_o with_o such_o flashie_a show_n that_o be_v with_o the_o glitter_a vanity_n and_o resplendency_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o to_o a_o humble_a and_o discern_a soul_n they_o will_v seem_v no_o more_o than_o squib_n break_v into_o sparkle_a shiver_n of_o fire_n which_o shine_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n and_o die_v with_o
