to take paines to hinder our peculiar damages for What man is there that hath a sheepe and if it fall on a Sabaoth day into a pit doth not lift it out In like maner it is lawfull to worke when there is an inundation or deluge of waters and also vpon vrgent necessitie to take vp a draught of fish which for that day being let alone would haue beene cast away More yet would I write if I feared not to be termed a gagling sophister as hauing alreadie discussed this question in my Commentaries vpon Persius I will therefore proceed to the next Of the duties of seruants towards their Masters Chap. 17. THe first dutie of seruants towardes their masters is that they be subiect vnto them e and please them in all things not answering againe nor replying although otherwhiles they know better what is to be done then their masters The second is that they be honest and faithfull vnto their masters and not as many now a-dayes do flatter cologue with them therby thinking to get some bootie The third duty of seruants is that they seeke their masters profit more thē their owne The fourth that they reueale not to others their masters secret affayres The fift that they defend their masters euen to the hazarding and losing of their liues The famous effect whereof appeared in that couragious seruant of Maurice Duke of Saxonie who of late yeeres seeing his master sodainely assaulted by certaine Turks that lay in ambush and cast from his horse couered him with his owne body valiantly repelled the enemie vntill certaine horsemen came and saued the Prince but died himselfe a little while after being hurt and wounded in euerie place of his body Finally to fill vp this discourse seruants must diligently and honestly guard their masters and their masters goods for They that keepe the figge tree shall enioy the fruite thereof and they that waite vpon their Masters shall come to honour The fourth Plant. Of the Acquisitiue facultie Chap. 18. NOw hauing sufficiently disputed of the chiefest parts of a familie I come to the last part that is to the acquisitiue or possessorie facultie wherof I find two kindes the one naturall the other artificiall The naturall consisteth in breeding of cattell in manuring of the groūd in hauking hunting fishing in spoyles and pillages both by sea land The artificiall way of getting lyeth in exchanging either ware for ware as of cloth for silkes of wool for graine or els of wares for money And againe those acquisitiue Arts bee disallowed which are loathed of men as the trade of Brokers huxters toll-gatherers bauds vsurers and ingraters Of which three last after my next discourie of money I wil God willing entreat Of money the chiefest part of the Acquisitiue facultie Chap. 19. MOney as Plinie writeth was coyned by King Seruius of Rome with the Image of a sheep and an oxe Others say that it was first inuēted at the siege of Troy But I find that money was many yeeres currant before the warres of Troy Abraham bought a field of Ephron the Hethite for foure hundred siluer sicles of money currant amōg Marchāts Which is of our money three and thirtie pound six shillings and eight pence Howbeit there is no vse of coyned money in sundry coūtries at this instāt In y e coūtry of Pretious Iohn salt goeth for money The Indians of Peru neuer made any account of money before the Spaniards robbed them of their gold Besides within these two hundred yeeres mony was verie scant heere in England for King Edward the fourth in the ciuill warres betwixt him and Henrie the sixt beeing on a time pursued by the Earle of Warwicke who then was turned to the contrarie side bought a ship in the yeere of our Lord 1461. for eight score nobles to saile into Ireland which price in those times was esteemed wonderfull deare Also in the yeere 1514. money coyned of leather was rise in this Realme Of which kinde of money my selfe haue seene of late aboue tenne bushels in an olde castle in Wales stamped as farre as I remember with the Duke of Lancasters Image For in those dayes certaine Dukes were licensed to coyne money So likewise wee reade that countie Palatines as Chester Durham and Ely could then giue pardons concerning the pleas of the crowne and send writs in their owne names In the Kingdome of Cathay money is yet neither of gold nor siluer nor of any other metall but onely of the barke of mulberie trees which is cut as well into sundrie small as great round peeces whereon they engraue the names of their countrie rating them as wee do ours according to their greatnesse smalnesse It is petie treason among them to employ any other money Sir Thomas Moore reporteth that his faigned Vtopians did make chamber-pots and other vesselles that serue for most vile vses of gold and siluer Moreouer he saith that they made great chaines fetters and giues wherein they tyed their bondmen of the very same metals and whosoeuer among them for any offence was infamous by his eares hung rings of gold about his necke was a chaine of gold Thus by all meanes possible they procured to haue gold and siluer among them in reproach and infamie And if wee Christians examine our selues somewhat more neere wee shall finde that money is one of the chiefest causes why so many felonies murthers treasons be committed and why the crie of the poore is so often come before the Lorde For this cause Plato the Diuine Philosopher saith that In a common-wealth well gouerned there should not any money bee vsed because it marreth good maners and maketh the mind of a man couetous and in satiable Of Bawdes Whether they ought to be suffered Chap. 20.
