LXVIII Present Retribution to Plain and Faithful Reprovers HE that rebukes a Man afterwards shall find more Favour then he that flattereth with his Tongue saith Solomon Prov. 28.23 That this effect doth not always follow is easily deducible from the Admonition of our Saviour who adviseth us not to give that which is Holy unto Dogs nor to cast Pearls before Swine lest they turn again and rent us c. But that when our Reproofs meet with fit and capable Subjects it is so is often proved by Experience 1. Bishop Barnes having suspended Nr. Bernard Gilpin requires him suddenly upon his return from a Journey out of the North to Preach a Visitation Sermon at Chester Mr. Gilpin desired to be excused as being not provided and being suspended But the Bishop accepting no denial at last Mr. Gilpin answered Seeing it cannot be otherwise your Lordship's Will be done And after a little pawse began his Sermon in the Application whereof he proceeded thus And now Reverend Father my Speech must be directed to your Fatherhood God hath exalted you to be Bishop of this Diocess and God requires an account of your Government hereof c. And so proceeding to tax the Faults of the Diocess Let not saith he your Lordship say these Crimes have been committed by the Fault of others without your Knowledge for whatsoever your self shall do in Person or suffer by your Connivency to be done is wholly your own therefore in the presence of God his Angels and Men I pronounce your Fatherhood to be the Author of all these Evils yea and in that strict Day of the General Account I shall be a Witness to testifie against you c.

Henry the Eighth the New Testament for a New-year's Gift with this Inscription Marriage is honourable among all Men and the Bed undefiled but Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge c. Who preach'd such pungent Sermons to the Court to the Judges to the Clergy to all yet lived well died comfortably put on the Crown of Martyrdom at his Exit out of this World and since his departure hath escaped the Lash of envious and reproachful Tongues much better than his then prosperous Adversaries and Persecutors See the Story of Dr. Wotton in the foregoing Chapter how his Fidelity and Veracity were rewarded with present Preferments and honourable Offices CHAP. LXIX Present Retribution to the Humble and Modest. MOdesty is a Vertue say some the will starve a Man and indeed among some undiscerning Persons it goes under no better Notion than Cowardice and Sneakingness of Spirit when Audaciousness and Arrogance are valued at a high rate among Fools But all the World is not foolish there are some wise and judicious Men dispersed here and there among us and these know how to judge of true Modesty and Humbleness of Spirit and with them these Qualities are of great Price But however God Almighty hath an especial Favour for them and doth value them and will reward them either here or hereafter He exalts the humble and meek and fills the hungry Soul with good things 1.

Fr Fowling Cardan adviseth thus Nux Vomica will stupifie Birds if you mingle it with their Meat I remember I took Crows in my Hand when I had powdered that Nut and mingled it with Flesh If small Birds eat Corn steeped in Wine-Lees and the Juice of Hemlock or Aqua-vitae or only in the Lees of stronger Wine or in the Decoction of white Helebore with an Ox-Gall this will astonish them Those Birds that Fly in Flocks to it are catched in Flocks as Partridges but Geese more than they but chiefly Ducks When you would make some Tame of the wild kind you must cut their wings and make a Trench about the Waters and feed them there with Plenty of pleasant Food For Ducks amongst other things that is the best which we call Sargum In the Night when the tame Ones cry the wild Ones will comethither to Meat For all Creatures agree in four things they all seek for Meat all seek for Pleasure all Fight and all are in Fear and here they understand one the other VVherefore in your Nets you shall sometimes catch a Thousand Ducks at once This may seem strange yet it is true and there is no bette way of Fowling you must chuse tame Ducks that are most like the wild Ducks in their Colour Cardan de Subtilit But this Art of Decoying is much Improved of late Years 2. There are other ways of Fowling which are well known in some places they use low Belling that is they go about in the Night with a Net in one hand to catch Birds in a Candle to draw the Birds towards the Light into the Net a Club to beat the Hedges and drive the Birds out and a little Bell which they ring continually to drown the noise of the Fowlers In other places they use a Stalking Horse especially for the killing of Woodcocks c. 3. For Fishing Sir Philip Harcourt in Oxfordshire hath so contrived his Fish-ponds that the Stews not only feed one another and may be served by letting the Water of the upper Ponds out into the lower but by a side Ditch cut along by them and places out of each may be any of them emptied without letting the Water into or giving the least disturbance to any of the rest Plot 's Nat.

Cardan hath taught us an Ingenuous way to catch Fish thus Fishes are taken with Baits now the Baits must have four Properties they must smell well for this will make them come from remote places Such things are Anniseeds Juice of Panace and Cumin is best of them all They must tast well that they may the more desire them and they may be thereby deceived such are Blood especially Hogs Blood Cheese Bread principally of VVheat Butterflies the best are golden-coloured The Bait must Fume to the Head that it may make them drunk by its violent quality as Aqua-vitae Lees of VVine Last of all it must be Stupifactive to make them sensless Such are Marigold-Flowers that are to be had new every Month for this Herb whose Flowers are yellow cut in pieces will make great Fish astonished in one Hours time So is Lime for though it corrects VVater yet it kills Fish So is the Juice of all the Tithymals and both the Nux Vomica's called Nux Metelli or the sleeping Nut. But nothing is better than that Fruit which is brought from the East and is called Coculus Indicus It is a black Berry like unto a bay Berry but smaller and rounder Our Composition to take Fish is tried to be certain Take a quarter of an Ounce of Oriental Berries Cumin-seed and Aqua-vitae of each a sixth part of an Ounce Cheese one Ounce VVheat-meal 3 Ounces make little Pellats beating all together Cardan de Subtilitate 6.
