A00808	A diamonde most precious, worthy to be marked instructing all maysters and seruauntes, how they ought to leade their lyues, in that uocation which is fruitfull, and necessary, as well for the maysters, as also for the seruants, agreeable vnto the holy Scriptures. Reade me ouer, and then iudge, if I be not well, then grudge: thinke well of him that mee made, for Gods worde shall neuer fade.	Fit John, John.	1577 (1577)	STC 10929; ESTC S117750	53,823	110

Paule sayeth put away lying and speake euery man the truth with his neighbour Let thy tongue be ignoraunt of lying and loue so well truth that whatsoeuer that thou speakest think that thou swearest Lye not in earnest nor in iest The Apostle sayeth lye not one to another For Lyars not without cause may be compared to mad dogges for all those that vse it hurte their conscience and lose their credite and bringeth them to confusyon A lyer is worse then a theefe for from a theefe a a man may hyde and from a lyer he cannot That which is bred in the bone will not oute of the flesh Those that for their pleasure were accustomed to lye in their youth wil not faile for their profyte to lye in their age A Lyer maye well be compared to the Deuil for it is the authour of stryfe and discorde betwene neighbour and neighbour I would wish that al parents would reforme themselues of this vyce especiallye Marchauntes and such as are men that frequent buying and selling of wares then they might the better be a meane for the punishing of lying An euill tree cannot bring forth good fruite nor a good tree euill euen so is it harde for him that is a Mayster to correcte his Seruaunte for a fault when he himselfe is the authour therof There is a notable Story worthy to be had in remembrance of the dealing of a Kinges Sonne who being demaunded a question did not say the truth but did tell a lye Puer I pray yon tell me that Ciuis Traian taking his pleasure in the Gardens of Vlcan saw the sonne of King Cebalus and many other yong Children of Rome stealyng fruite forth of an orchard when the Emperour Traian afterwards demanded of him frō whence he came he answered from his study hearing Rhethorick but in deede he came from stealing of fruits the Emperour Traian was so angry displesed that the child was a lyer told him a lie he prouided cōmanded that the same child being the Kings only son should be vtterly depryued and made voyd of all hope to recouer to enioy the realm of his father Cebalus Wherfore speake euery man the truth vnto his neighbor and put away lying sayeth the Apostle and agayne Saynt Peter sayth Vnto the pure are all thinges pure but vnto them that are defiled and vnbeleeuing is nothing pure A lyer is not to be beleeued though he sweare for there is no truth in him he is changeable like the wynd a man can not tell how beleeue anye word that proceedeth out of his month Puer This is a prety short story but can you declare me anye moe agaynst lying for I gather by your sayings it is a thing requisyte and needefull to be well loked vnto Ciuis You say truth it is so I wil shew vnto you many sayings out of the scripture for that only abuse Thou shalt eschew lying ye shal not lye neyther shall any of you deceiue his neighbour Dauid sayth Thou O Lorde shall destroy all them that speake lyes He that gathereth his goods with a lying tong shal lose al and be in perril of his lyfe He that keepeth his tongue keepeth his lyfe from troubles Sathan brought forth the fyrst lye The two Iudges which accused the Godlye woman Susan were most abhomynable lyers Ananias and Saphira dyed sodenly because they lied So many as make or loue lies shal be cast among Murtherers and Idolaters in the Lake of hel burning with fyre and brimstone Puer GOD be mercifull vnto vs and geue vs his lyghte to shyne ouer vs that the truth maye bee knowne among all nations and lying banished and corrected and that I may be myndfull of this your document Ciuis It is not my document but in the Bible you shall fynde muche of these my sayinges Puer Your good cōfortable sayinges moueth me that back agayne to my mother I can not go for by the assistaunce of almighty GOD I

poure forth his blessing vpon him and all his housholde Puer These are good exhortations which delighteth me verye well I pray you as you haue begon so reherse more to me and you can Ciuis Yes I thanke God I can for the duety of a mayster is to dele iustly truely and faythfully with his seruants he must take heede that he do not onely require of them faythfull and dilligent seruice due and true worke and labour but that he also wythout fraud or deceyt giue them their dutyes and couenaunts as meate drinke lodging linnen wollen apparell their occupation and whatsoeuer is agreede vpon betwene them that there be found no vnrighteous dealing in hym but all iustice all equitie and truth Let him not euill intreate his seruaunt that worketh truely but let him loue a discreete seruaunt as his owne soule and defraude him not of his duty If the mayster intreate a good seruant euill and keepe him harde and make him to be prowd and to run away from him he cannot tell what way to seeke him Puer It is most true for as much as you tolde me that the duety of the mayster is to foresee that neyther ydlenesse should be suffred you haue tolde me your mynde for that I pray you in lyke manner let me vnderstande what is agaynste swearing Ciuis Saynt Iames sayeth sweare not neyther by heauen nor by earth neyther by anye other oth But let your yea be yea and your nay nay least you fall into ypocrisye Thou shalte not take the name of thy Lorde God in vayne for the Lord will not holde him guiltlesse that taketh his name in vayne Wherfore I aduertise thee let not thy mouth be vsed to swearing The wyse man sayeth whē that men here such swearing the heire of their heades should arise for feare and they should stop their eares and not here such vnreuerence and despysing of Gods name Thou shalt not sweare at all neyther by Heauen for it is Gods seate nor yet by the earth for it is his footestoole neyther by Ierusalem for it is the Cittie of the great King neyther shalte thou sweare by thy heade because thou canst not make one heare whyte or blacke who so sweareth by the Aulter sweareth by the same and by all that is thereon and who so sweareth by the Temple sweareth by the same and by him that dwelleth therein and who so sweareth by heauen sweareth by the seate of God and by him that sitteth thereon Puer Why ought not a man to sweare at anye tyme Ciuis If they be called before a Iudge for the iust tryall of matters in controuersy it is lawfull for them to swere and then they must take heede For when God made promise to Abrahā because he had none greater to sweare by hee sware by himselfe and sayd surely I wil blesse thee multiplie thee in deede As for men they swere by hym that is greater then their selues and the oth is the end of al strife Who so swereth by any creature he sweareth by him that made that creature Puer Then you alow to sweare before a Iudge to be agreable to the scripture If they sweare falsly what is to be accounted vpon them Ciuis Those that swere falsely do contrary to the scripture For it is written thou shalt beare no false witnesse agaynst thy neighbour False witnesse procureth mallice thefte mansianter and other vyces to be hidden it is the oryginall of vyce for a Iudge sitting in iudgemente cannot indifferentlye minister iustice because that false witnesses do blynd the truth often tymes Ye shall not sweare falslye by my name and so to vnhalow the name of thy God for I am the Lord sayth god Better is the pore man that liueth Godly then the blasphemer that is but a foole The wyseman sayth a false witnesse shall not remayne vnpunished A false witnesse laugheth iudgement●● scorne A false witnesse shall perish Who so beareth false witnesse agaynste his neighbour he is a very speare and sword and a sharpe arrow Thou shalte not forsweare thy self but shalt performe thine oth to God swere not at all be no false accuser Let thy tongue be ignorant of swearing and loue so wel truth that whatsoeuer that thou speakest think that thouswearest Herod sware to Herodias daughter what so euer she did aske of him he woulde giue it her he performed it although he was sorry for hys othes sake The Romayns had a law that as such as were found to be periured shold be thrown downe he adlong from the top of a high Rocke called Tarpeius The counsell of Iosephus was that hee which blasphemeth God and vnreuerentlye vse his name should be stoned vnto death and then hanged vp by the space of one day and so taken down and buryed without all manner of honour The Egiptians law was that no swearing shoulde be vsed among them at all except it were for a waighty cause if anye were founde to be periured the same shoulde loose his heade Doualdus King of Scots made this acte within his land that al periurers and common swearers should haue their lippes seared with a burning hote Iron Puer These are very sore and strayghte lawes which you haue tolde me of but canne you tell mee if anye suche strayghte lawes were at any tyme made in England cōcerning the blaspheming of the name of God. Ciuis I remember I haue hearde say that King Henry the fyfte made a statute for swearers in hys owne Pallace that if he were a Duke that did sweare he should forfeite for euery tyme fortye shillings to the ayding and helping of the pore if he were a Lord or a Baron twēty shillings if he were a Knight or an Esquyre x. shillings if he were a Yoman twenty pence if he were a Page or a Lackey or a slaue to be scourged naked eyther with a rod or else with a whip Puer If this law were in these dayes put in execution there would not be so much swearing vsed as is which for lack of the feare of GOD prouoketh many to offende which God of his goodnesse ingrafte into their stony hartes the increase of his loue and that they may feare him with all vnfayned reuerence I perceyue and doe gather of your good lessons that better it were that the bodyes of the blasphemers in this world should suffer a little payne then after this lyfe to haue both their bodyes and soules cast into Hell fyre Ciuis You say troth if al fathers and mothers and maysters would dilligently watch vppon their children and seruants it shall cause them not onely not to be defyled with the moste greuous sinne of swearing but also that the most holy name of God should be had in high reuerence great estimation and perpetuall honour for euer after so long as they liue But aboue al thinges I woulde wishe

so and I remember your sayinges well if I should offend my mayster at any tyme should he not forgeue me Ciuis Vpon an amendment a man will do it for Mathew sayeth if thy Brother trespase agaynst thee rebuke him if he repente forgiue him Puer If you forgiue men their faults your heauenly father will also forgiue you Yet I confesse a seruaunt may offend if he do I pray you tell me whether it is lawfull for a mayster to geue his seruaunt vnlawfull correction Ciuis Due correctiō is alowable for seruants if a mayster shall take an vnreasonable thing to correct his seruaunt whereby he putteth out one of his eyes breake his arme or legge or his head it is not lawfull for he must consyder with himselfe that his seruaunt is of the same mould made that himselfe is and that God will requyte euill for euill an eye for an eye c. The Prophet sayth Learne to doe righte applye yourselues to equitie Puer You haue certifyed my desyre perswacions of one friende to another may doe muche good Lorde what happy fortune was it that wee two did meete togeather for your aduertisementes I trust shal doe me much good and I shall be bound to pray vnto God for you that it was my good fortune to haue your company being such a friendly mā as you are if I were learned I woulde make some remembraunce what you haue sayde to mee and I woulde send it downe into the countrey to our olde Duns shewing him what good exhortacions you haue shewed to me and what the duety of seruaunts is vnto their maysters It is a thing in my iudgemente requisyte and necessarye for Seruauntes and Maysters to print these wordes which you haue recited vnto me in their myndes I remember a saying Forgeue one another if thy Brother trespase agaynst thee goe and tel him his fault betweene him and thee alone if he heare thee thou haste wonne thy brother But if he he are thee not then take with thee one or two but I thanke God you haue so vsed me that it shall not be shewed to any Ciuis Remember what is written in the same place Better it is for thee to enter into life with one eye then to haue two eyes and be cast into hell fyre So likewise better it were for thee to suffer wrong and iuiury then to reuenge agayne Recompence to no man euill for euill Let euery soule be flowe vnto anger Loue your enemyes doe good vnto them that hate you blesse them that curse you pray for them that wrong and trouble you And who so smyteth thee on the one cheeke offer him the other And who taketh thy cloake forbid him not thy coat and whoso taketh that is thyne aske it not agayne and as yee woulde that men shoulde doe vnto you euen so doe ye vnto them Lykewyse and if you loue them that loue you what thanke haue you therefore But rather loue those whome you thinke to be your enemies iudge not and ye shal not be iudged Forgiue and ye shall be forgeuen Thus now you heare what benefyte and commoditie commeth and what a fountayne or Wellspring of lyfe is shewed vnto you concerning sufferaunce A good name is more worth then a precious oyntment and the day of death is better then the day of byrth Let him that hath an office wayghte on his office Let him that ruleth doe it with dilligence Let loue be without dissimulacion Be kynde one to another with brotherly loue In geuing honour goe one before another Loue brotherly fellowship Be not weary in well doing Let not the Sunne goe downe vpon your wrath The Vngodly shall be so plagued that they shall seeke death and shall not fynd it they shal desyre to dye and death shall flye from them A discreete Seruaunte shall haue more rule then the sonnes that haue no wysedome An vndiscreete sonne is a greefe vnto his father and heauinesse vnto his mother that bare him Euery tree is knowne by his fruite so is a faythfull and a true seruaunt knowen by hys good and honest behauyour He that is true and iust to his mayster is lyke vnto a precious Iewell Dauid sayeth Myne eyes looke vpon such as be faithful in the land that they may dwell with me Who so leadeth a godly lyfe he shall be my seruaunte There shall no deceitful seruaunt dwell in my house he that telleth lyes shall not tarry in my sighte A froward harte shal departe from me I will not know a wicked person Puer Truth it is I can it not denye for if I should I were to blame the thing it selfe lyeth so playne before me that I cannot vary I am vpholden so by your talke that I cannot fall Heare my crying O God geue heede vnto my prayer for I cleaue vnto the same staffe which you haue geuen me to leaue vpon euen Iesus Christ Notwithstanding these wordes are not consydered on nowe a dayes For whereas my mother doth dwell if a man may fynde any occasyon of extremitie of Lawe agaynst his brother or neighboure immediatly he will procure by himselfe or his Soliciter to haue a Writ to make him to appeare at the Tearme whereby they doe not followe those wordes you told me That is if my neighbour shoulde desyre my Cloake shall I giue my Coate to him also peraduenture I shall go naked my selfe the fraylty of the fleshe will not be so aunswered for sure I beleeue though it be so written in scripture there is another meaning therein which if it were declared especially vnto those that are the couetous persons of this worlde I thinke it woulde touch them somewhat for the moste parte of them are all gathering and seeking to inrich themselues and nothing will part from yet they haue a good example of the rich man Diues the pore begger Lazarus Ciuis That is wel remembred of you they haue the more to aunswere those which are in this world in substaunce lyuing haue a great accoumpt to make at the latter day and the pore man that hath his helth followeth his labour and getteth his liuing with the sweate of hys browes is better at his hartes case then they which hath golde and treasure mixed with sicknesse and diseases Albeit I pray God that thou when thou commest to be a man able to kepe a house of thine own that couetousnesse doth not enter into thy brest as it doth into many in these dayes Puer I thanke you for your good wishing towards me for the auoyding therof let me heare some of your mynd Ciuis God cōmandeth that thoushalt not couet thy neighbours goods For couetousnesse is the roote of al euil Dauid sayd Inclyne my hart O Lord to thy testimonies not to couetousnes He that hordeth vp his corn shal be cursed among the people but blessing shal light vpō his head that giueth
