Henry 7. one of the Sages of the Kings of England did never promote any one to any Office or dignity upon the motion of another Give your Benefice your self so shall you have the thanks Give it with Iudgment not with partial affection St. Paul will direct you how to choose Irreprehensibilem ornatum prudentem pudicum hospitalem doctorem non violentum non percussorem non cupidum sed modestum non neophytum ne in superbiam elatus in judicium incidat diaboli Against this yong man I should except a little Young men are Aguish their pots are boiling and they have many Meanders The Cardinals in their conclave would once adventure that but once to make a young Pope which was Leo the 10. of the House of Medices but see what followed This yong Pope by promiscuous granting and selling of Pardons and Indulgences to the German Nation gave occasion to Luther to write against him what a defection hath since ensued from that See The Cardinals since grown more wary in their choice do except against any one though otherwise well parted for so high a function unless he be also old enough to be Pope Coram cano capite consurge saith Syracides The Elder man fixeth a deeper impression in the hearts of his Auditors and the gray hairs exact a better attention as it is lively expressed by Virgil Tum pietate gravem meritis si forte virum quem Conspexere silent arrectisque auribus astant Ille regit dictis animos pectora mulcet The elder man also if he be froward is of less continuance Non datur beneficium nisi propter officium saith the Law If you have provided him of the temporal part he must afford you the spiritual Amongst other his qualifications peaceable must be one in respect of the Interest he shall have in yours and your Tenants Estates When you make a feast though furnished with variety of delicacies your feast will be much impaired if you have no salt This is your Salt It will be an especial act of Piety in you to settle a godly preaching Minister to officiate at Dixton It will be a singular comfort to you and your Family to be informed in your duty to God by the example of his life and by his doctrine It is said Facundus comes in via est pro vehiculo certainly in this your journey ad patri am which is Heaven for we are all but pilgrimes upon earth such a companion will be as a Chariot to bring you to Almighty God and perhaps some of your Ancestors have been less successfull by the omission thereof Now being upon the Treaty of Sacred things I shall recommend and transmit unto you the care of certain Lands piously bequeath'd by William Higford Esq to the use of the Church of Alderton by his Deed bearing date in October the 28. Henry 8. The Church doth pray in aid of Brachium saeculare to support it and the first Law in the Statutes of Magna Carta whereunto the King at his Coronation is solemnly sworn is That the Church of England shall be free and have all her Rights entire and her liberties inviolate You are and must be a Brachium seculare and support to those Lands which being separated and set apart from profane uses must be now onely imployed according to the disposition of the Donour per formam doni To alien or divert the profits to any other use which is often attempted by the Parishioners to save their own mony or to indeavour to gain these Lands to your self is Sacriledge a crying sin greatly tending to the dishonour of Almighty God and which also may infect your other lands There are many examples of such who have broken the Trusts reposed in them but their Names do rot upon the earth Horrendum est incidere in manus Dei You will find other pious Acts of your Ancestors which to their glory and honour you are to maintain as you will expect to be honoured your self You have also another Companion which readeth to you Generosus Animus facilius ducitur quÃ m trahitur You must hearken to him as substituted by your worthy Mother unto whom God hath confirmed a power over you The Heir saith the Apostle differeth in nothing from a Servant in his Minority but is under Tutors and Governours Disobedience in this kind is destructive Maledictio Matris eradicat fundamenta This your Overseer is to give you your first liquor and then you know Quo semel est imbuta recens servabit odorem Testa diu Sir John Higford who was an eminent man in his Country had for his Tutor the famous Bishop Jewel my Father Doctor Cole an excellent Governour My self Doctor Sebastian Benefield native of Presbury a very learned man All three of Corpus Christi Coll. Oxon. And if we may transcend higher Alexander who conquered the world had for his Tutor Aristotle who conquered the Arts Thomas Aquinas the Champion of the Roman host of whom they boast Tolle Thomam dissipa Ecclesiam had for his Tutor our Countryman and near Neighbour Alexander of Hales surnamed Doctor irrefragabilis Charles the Great Emperour of the West Alcuinus Charles the fift Pope Adrian King James a King of learning as well as of power had for his Tutor the famous Buchanan These Princes and great Persons obtained great renown by their Institution from their Tutors The Iesuits boast that Imperium literaerum penÃ¨s Iesuitas and they profit raise their Scholars most by the choicest Lecturers that may be gotten to read unto their youth and so also do Both our Universities both in private Colledges and publick schooles after the lecture they meet together hold disputation whet their wits by discourse and rivet what they have heard adding thereunto writing the heads for the helps of fallible memory thus the work is done Reading maketh an able man Discourse a ready man and writing a perfect man There are also other Companions and these are Books held to be the best companions of all because they will not flatter but in the choice of them you ought to be very curious And therefore in the first place cast away from you all wanton leud and licentious Pamplhets and read good books and those in order and method For as in your diet health is

unless you have the knowledge of Lawes which limit every one their own especially of the common or Municipal Law of this Kingdome under which you live and by which you hold your Estate Yet some caution is to be had that your knowledge of the Law provoke you not to commence suits which are the country-mans warrs It is the counsell of Moses Priusquam expugnaveris aliquam civitatem offeras ei pacem Have no suits in Law if you can avoid them or if you may have peace without them Use law as your last remedy Suits in law will cause an extream distraction in your affairs estate and mind Sapientis est modico damno molestiam rei exclusisse The Counsell of the Psalmist is not onely Sequenore but Sectare pacem The frequentative notes you must seek it often For the procuring and effecting of peace it concerneth you in all your affairs to act nothing without the best and choicest Counsell may be had that your contracts and settlements of your Estate be valid and perfect and as much as in you lyeth foresee all inconveniences which may happen leave as little as you can to incertainty Fraud is so inquisitive and searching that if you lay open the least gap Fraud will enter thereinto will not only weaken and make void contracts and bargains but even Laws also never so judiciously debated and enacted There is an Adage among the Lawyers Qui habet terras habet guerras It is incident unto land to have suits and the greater your Estate the more suits but if any such be you must therein be vigilant and industrious to apprehend opportunities nothing is gained by sleeping saith the common Law Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subvenient I am not of the opinion of some of our Nobility and Gentry who when their sons leave the Universities omit the Innes of Court and send them beyond the Seas Travail is a necessary Accomplishment of a Gentleman and an especial part of his Education but what is it to be conversant abroad and a stranger at home These Innes of Court are vertuous and fruitfull seminaries for the breeding of youth where they study the known Lawes of the Land and other noble exercises Another part of Iustice is the well disposing of your own and this vertue is called Liberality you are to scatter your Almes as seed upon the earth to gain thereby a plentifull Harvest You shall have the prayers of many imploring God for you and if the curse of the poor shall ascend to his Maker shall not his prayers conduce to your good We are but dispensators of Gods blessings and the poor must have a part This is the most gainfull Commerce of all other Da temporaria ut consequaris aeterna Melius pecunia servatur quae in manu pauperis collocatur Quas dederis solus samper habebis opes The next in order is Prudence Prudentia non est tantum virtus sed auriga virtutum This vertue is the directress of all other vertues sits at the helm to guide the ship holdeth the judgment-seat distinguisheth bonum Ã malo verum Ã falso A wise mans eyes saith Solomon are alwayes in his head and if his own eyes are deficient he will use the eyes of others Plus vident oculi quÃ m oculus From hence ariseth the necessity of Counsell for in counsell is health Sine consilio facias nihil non poenitebis saith Syracides It is said of God himself who is infinite in knowledge that he acteth all things according to the counsell of his will Whence we may learn to do nothing rashly or by praecipitation Deliberandum est diu quod statuendum est semel A Counsellers part is not onely to give counsell but to keep counsell to be secret and reserved To keep your friends secrets is Religion to keep your own is safety For so shall you not be prevented in your designes which will be sooner effected by a prudent disguising of your purposes like the Watermen who in rowing turn their backs to the landing place Depend not upon humane wisedome and policie but depend on God choose the fittest means to your just ends and leave the success to him After followeth Fortitude what can be more expected Prudence to direct what to do Fortitude or courage to dare to do But this vertue is best observed in our selves Man hath for his object bonum sensibile bonum supernaturale the one draweth him upward the other downward And hence ariseth the conflict which is in Man himself against himself Whereupon it was the dayly prayer of St. Austin Domine salve me Ã me To triumph in the conquest of your self and to subjugate your affections and appetite to the Government of Reason is more than to conquer the World which some men have effected and yet could never conquer themselves Fortior est qui se quÃ m qui fortissima vincit Moenia And here great care is to be had to withstand the blandishments of Prosperity by which more inconsiderately fall than by the blasts and stormes of Adversity Magnae virtutis est cum faelicitate luctari magnae faelicitatis Ã faelicitate non vinci The Traveller put off his Claok in the sun-shine which he held fast during the rain storm Another effect of Fortitude is to exclude all fear Degeneres animos timor arguit Fear is defined by Solomon to be the betraying of the succours which Reason offers Base cowardise which suggests panick fears maketh shadows substances mole-hils to seem mountains Pavor omnem sapientiam ex animo expectorat And therefore in difficile dangerous actions it concerneth you to make a collection of your self for re cognita cessat timor the Iustice of your cause and the clearness of your conscience will make you as bold as a Lyon and the ugliness of Death will not affright you Another part of Fortitude is Patience by many of our Gallants called virtus asinina but in truth it is virtus heroica the most Heroical of all the rest and which giveth you assurance of Victory Vincit qui patitur The patient man like the skilfull Seaman when the Winds are contrary tacketh about and so arriveth at the Port desired I will present you with one instance for many The Lord Pawlett the first Lord Marquess of Winchester so created by Edward the sixt continued a privy Counseller and in especial favour to four Princes Henry 8. Edward 6. Q. Mary and was Lord Treasurer of England unto Q. Elizabeth and being demanded how he could continue in prime favour with four Princes so differing in Disposition Religion Age and Sex made answer Patiendo tacendo blandiloquendo injurias non ulciscendo Agreeable whereunto was another saying of the same Marquess Ortus sum ex salice non ex quercu But Virgil the Poet shall conclude for all Superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est The last but not the least is the most rare and excellent Vertue Temperance
