withstand the power of Impatience Note I say first of murmuring how many incontieniences doe grow to the Murmurer himselfe and then to other by his meanes and againe how great are the comforts of the contrary Murmuring troubleth the minde disquiets the heart distempereth the bodie and sometime breedes the consumption of the purse it forgetteth reason abuseth nature sheweth disloialty displeaseth a friend and doth purchase an enemie it carrieth vvit from reason Reason from Grace and Nature from her selfe yea sometime man euen from God to the Deuill while patiēce enduring those perplexities that put reason to his best power nature is not distempered reason not abused grace is embraced and God is truely honoured the league of amitie is continued the law of nature is not broken Truth is gratious and the soule is blessed where the body is not distempered nor the mind disturbed the creature is most able to giue glory to his Creator Note then the differences of these two natures Murmuring a horrible vice and patience a heauenly vertue doe but think on the fruit of murmuring and the condition and end of murmurers rages frettings wars death pouertie sicknes and sorrovv vvhile the child is sicke of the father the vvife of the husband the brother of the sister and one friend of another vvhat massacre or murther hath there grovvne but through the inuention of murmuring and the malice of murmurers looke a little if thou bee a murmurer of vvhat kind thou art and vvho thou art and so note the condition of thy nature or nature of thy condition If thou be a man and murmurest against God thou art a Deuill if thou bee a Subiect and murmure against thy King thou art a Rebell if thou bee a Sonne and murmure against thy father thou shewest a bastards nature If thou murmure against thy Brother an vnkind nature if against thy friend an vnthankfull nature if against an honest man an vnhonest nature if against a foole an vnwise nature if against a Christian a hethenish nature if against a man a dogged nature Thus thou seest by murmuring what thou shalt bee esteemed of God and man yea and in thine ovvne conscience of thy selfe either a Foole a Knaue a Heathen a Bastard a Traytor a Dogge of a Deuill and doest thou then see the villanous nature and condition of this qualitie and wilt not leaue it take heede least if thou continue in it that God vvil hate thee for it doe not send thee to the deuill with it who was the first Author and is the continual nourisher of it Againe thinke with thy selfe when another man shall find thee in thy murmuring either by thy discōtentiue countenance or soletarie delight sequestring thy selfe from men to conuerse with the Aire hovv great will be thy shame to heare the skoffings that will fall vpon thy follie Some will say thou art mad other thou art foolish another thou art dogged but noe man that thou art either wise kind or well in thy wits Againe when thou hast reuealed thy folly to the world and fretted thy selfe to the heart with the humor of an euill spirit and yet art neuer the better any way but manie way a greate deale the worse what canst thou thinke of thy selfe but fret that thou didest fret blush at thy shame grieue at thy follie and murmure at thy selfe that thou didst murmure at thy selfe or any other while repentāce which bringeth sorrow is the best fruit of such a frenzie Againe when thou shalt see the patience of another blessed and thy murmuring accursed an others patience enriched and thy impatience impouerished an others patience aduanced thy murmuring disgraced what canst thou thinke of it but a Canker eating into thy Soule worse then any Fistula in thy fleshe pray then to the heauenly Surgeon for a plaster of patience with the oyle of true repentance to cure thee of this disease which in the worlde at least by all the Arte of the Worlde is Incurable wilt thou see a murmurer truely discribed that thou maiest the better hate to bee his image Behold his Eyes like a hogge euer bent downewards as if he were looking into Hell his cheekes like an Anathomie where the fleshe from the bones doth fall with fretting his browes euer wrinckled with frownes to shew the distemper of his vnquiet Braine his lippes euer puld inward as if Enuie would speake and durst not his tongue like the sting of a Serpent which vttereth nothing but poison his voice like the hissing of an Adder which maketh musique but for hell his necke like a weake piller whereon his head stands tottering and readie to fall his breast like an impostume that is ready to burst with corruption his heart the Anuile wheron the deuill frames his fireworke his body a Trunk where Sinne hath layed vp her store his handes like clawes that catch at the world and his feete like vvinges that make hast vnto hell Now doest thou behold this ougly sight and doest not feare to bee such a monster what shall I then say vnto thee but if God haue giuen thee ouer to a reprobate sence there is no reason to be had with thee nor hope of recouery to bee had of thee but hoping a little better in thee let me goe a little further with thee The vvorde of God saith Beati pacifici blessed are the peace makers thinke then it is a vvorke of the Deuill to sovv sedition and being at vvar vvith thy selfe hovv canst thou be at peace vvith the vvorld except it bee the good vvarre betvvixt the spirite and the flesh vvhere the peace of conscience ouercomes the trouble of conceit by patience is the Soule possest vvhich is more vvorth then the vvhole vvorld and by murmuring is the soule lost vvhich gon vvhat is the gaine of the vvorld Is it not strange that all the parts and the members of the bodie can so vvell agree togither and one doe seruice to another and men the parts and members of a common-vvealth should be so at variance among themselues In the body of man if the head ake the heart is not vvell if the Eye be hurt the head is distempered the heart is diseased and all the body is the vvorse if the finger bee hurt the head vvill seeke to help it the heart hath a feeling of it the Eye vvil pittie it and the feete vvill goe for ease for it if the foote bee hurt the Head Heart and Hands will seeke for cure of it while the Eye vvill be carefull to look to the dressing of it If the body bee diseased the head vvith all the members vvill labour for the helpe of it that all parts being in their perfect state the mind or Soule may be at rest if in this priuate body of man all things bee brought vnto this good order vvhat shame is it for a common-vvealth that men should bee so out of order and vvhile all parts of the bodie are at the seruice
