of heauenly bodies wee shall finde that Mercurie Luna Sol and Iupiter are friendes to Saturne and that Mars and Venus are his enemies All the Planets sauing Mars and Saturne are friendes to Iupiter Finally among friendes al things are common for A friend is a second selfe Howe a man should know his friend Chap. 58. MAny there bee that meeting by chance either in trauelling or at ordinaries do beleeue that froÌ„ that instaÌ„t a sure league of friendshippe is established betweene them which in good truth can neuer bee so by reason that in the time of triall there is no more effect of such friends then betweene the Crowe and the Kite of whom as the Fable goeth when it happened to the one to bee bare of plumes and would needes borrow some the other answered that hee had no more then was sufficient for him Of this ranke was King Richard the second of this Realme who in the yeere of our Lorde 1398. created Henrie Bolling brooke Earle of Darby Duke of Hereford and foure other Earles at that time made hee Dukes and parted landes among them thereby thinking to haue gotten firme friendes But boughtfriendes are seldome sure as being like vnto Arabian â—auens who so long as they are full doe make a pleasant noyse but being emptie they yeelde a fearefull crie So in like maner it chanced to this King Richard as being shortly after deposed by the Duke of Hereford afterwarde King Henrie the fourth whom as I say de before he had friendly aduaunced to that honour Wherefore a man that would bee circumspect and know his friend must principally knowe these positions First lette him consider whether his friend bee ambitious because that Ambition is fearefull and for the least crosse of fortune wil forsake true friendship Secondly whether his friend bee couetous for that Couetousnesse selleth friendshippe faith and honestie Thirdly let him prooue his friend aforehand in matters of importance for if he then go forwarde with a readie affection hee may bee assured of him against the next time but if hee once stagger or seeme colde that way hee knoweth what he hath to doe Of Flatterie Chap. 59. FLatterie is hardly discerned from friendshippe by reason that in euery motion of the minde it is glozingly intermingled with it but in their deedes they are meere aduersaries for flatterie dissenteth from it in al vertuous actions This a wife man will soone espie and that especially by these tokens First a flatterer is accustomed to prayse a man before his face and yeeldeth his consent with him in all matters as well bad as good Secondly a flatterer is wont to commend the deformitie of his friend when hee is present and to admire his stammering voyce Thirdly A Flatterer when a man hath neede of him turneth his backe Fourthly a flatterer will take vpon him at first to contradict a man by little little hee will yeeld as vanquished and will shake handes with him these bee the properties of a Flatterer of whome let euerie honest man beware for as the Poet sayth Wicked poyson lurketh vnder the sweetest honey And it is better to fall among a companie of crowes then to come among Flatterers because they will not pecke a man till hee bee dead whereas Flatterers will not spare to deuoure a man being aliue Obiection A flatterer will smoothe and consent with you in all things therefore hee is not vitious Answere A flatterer is either An Ape by imitation for hee will soothe a man so long till hee hath gotten somewhat by him A shadow by deceite for he quickly passeth A Basiliske by stinging for with his very sight hee woundeth a man Of Ingratitude with a remedie against it Chap. 60. BEcause ingratitude is the greatest token of all vices and because the earth bringeth foorth nothing worse then an ingratefull man I will anatomize both the vice and the louer thereof First in respect of our vnthankfulnesse towardes GOD and next in consideration of so many ingratefull wretches that liue in these accursed dayes Our first Parents hauing receiued vnspeakeable benefites at the handes of GOD as beeing created by him after his owne likenesse and then constituted as Monarchs ouer all other liuing creatures shewed themselues ingratefull for the same by eating of the forbidden Apple Whose examples wee imitating doe persist or rather surpasse them in ingratitude as in forgetting GODS exceeding loue when he spared not his onely begotten sonne but gaue him euen to shamefull death for our saluation Moreouer wee are vnthankfull vnto him for his singular care and fauour which hee exhibited in opening our stone-blinde eyes and in lifting vs out of the darke pitte of errours wherein our forefathers by the illusions of the fiende and of his member the Pope were enthralled and in a maner sunke Wee are vnthankfull towardes men when wee deface with forgetfulnesse the good turnes which wee haue receiued of our friendes This abominable kinde of vsage is at this instant too much practised by our owne countrymen and Neighbours for it so comes to passe that the greater the benefites are the greater most oftentimes is the ingratitude and I knowe not who among the rest bee more vnthankfull then children towardes their Parents and Schollers towardes their teachers who in steede of thankes doe recompence them with disobedience lyes curses slaunders and what not O detestable sinne not the fowles of the ayre who altogether are ignorant of reason haue euer exercised the same Wee reade that A yong man falling by chaunce among theeues and crying out was saued by a Dragon who by him being nourished straightway knewe his voyce and came to helpe him It is sayde of the Storke that so often as shee hath yong ones shee casteth one out of her nest into the chimney for a guerdon and rewarde vnto him that suffered her to lodge there Oh I would that all they which delight in the contrarie had beene subiect to the Persian King for doubtlesse then they would repent them of their ingratitude when they should see their neckes in the halter The Persians knewe that the man which of benefits receiued proued vnthankfull was not worthie to liue Lette men therefore beware whom they accept into their fauour and houses for it may be their ghestes will become as gratefull vnto them as the Adder whome the husband man finding almost dead in the snowe brought home and cherished Which Adder being thus entertained within a while after in lieu of his fostering infected all the whole house with his poyson Now touching a preseruatiue against this vice of ingratitude mine opinion is that men haue a good respect howe they bestow their benefites Seeing it is impossible for a wise man to bee vnmindfull of a good turne and if they conferre their giftes vpon fooles they are worse then mad because they shall perceiue in the end that a fooles acquaintance will stand them in no steade Of hatred

that men conuert that into deceite which God gaue them for good reason whereby it falleth out that one deceit bringeth in another and consequently cosenages are heaped vpon cosenages Herehence it commeth to passe that so many in these dayes are conicatched For how can it otherwise bee as long as they listen vnto flatterers despise wise men when they tel them of their follies Wherefore beware of smoothing dissemblers O ye that are gently disposed and suffer your selues to bee lift out of the gulfe of ignorance and to bee powdred with truth which earst like sots yee haue abandoned None euer haue beene deceiued but in that whereof they are ignorant or else in that which is obscure And if they bee deceiued it is prodigious if they bee deceiued of good men Finally they that perceiue not deceits shal oftentimes be deceiued of themselues Whether a man bee bound to performe that which he hath sworne to his enemie either willingly or by constraint Chap. 22. SO excellent a thing is the name of faith that the vse therof hath not only purchased credite among friends but also renowne amongst enemies which foundation being laide I constantly auerre if a man hath sworne vnto his enemie that he is periured if he performe not his othe Now vnder the name of Enemie I comprehend sixe sorts of people First there be forraine enemies such as the Spaniards bee vnto vs at this instant who by an vniuersall consent doe wage warre against vs and these are properly to bee termed enemies Secondly Rebelles of which number wee account the Earle of Tyrone and the wild Irish who haue traitorously reuolted from her Maiesties iurisdiction are to be called enemies Thirdly wee name Pirats rouers theeues Fourthly wee name aduersaries amongst whoÌ„ ciuill discords hapneth enemies Fiftly banished persons outlawes and condemned men haue the title of enemies In which ranke I place Robin Hood little Iohn and their outlawde traine who spoylde the kings subiects Lastly Fugitiues and runnagate seruants making warre with their masters deserue the name of enemies In the beadroll of these enemies flatterers conicatchers slanderers and Promooters disturbers of the publike rest may be added Nowe to the question whether wee ought to keepe touch with all these sorts of enemies It seemeth vnfaignedly that we should as shall more manifestly appeare by these reasons First * othes by the testimonies of the scriptures are to be obserued Secondly * euill is not to bee committed that goodnes may ensue Periurie is euill therfore not to be committed that goodnesse may ensue no not although a man should lose his life for it Thirdly of two euils the least is to bee chosen but periurie is a greater euil then losse of goods and landes yea and which is more it is greater then losse of life therefore it is better to lose life and liuing then to burthen our consciences with the abominable sinne of periurie Fourthly there cannot be honestie nor quietnesse amongst vs if wee break our othes Sixtly it is no poynt of liuely magnanimitie to engage our faith vnlesse wee were willing to performe it for who shal dwel in Gods tabernacle who shall rest vpon his holy hil euen he that setteth not by himselfe It is rather the propertie of follie for that a foole wil sweare any thing for his owne safegard whereas a man of discretion will consider wel and weigh his speech as it were by the ounce before hee pawne it Seuenthly whatsoeuer a man sweareth and may performe with the fauor of God without sinne that same albeit compelled is to bee obserued for the name of God is of greater estimation then al teÌ„porall commodities such is the promise which a man sweareth vnto theeues because nowe and then for our amendement GOD permitteth temptations therefore a man hauing sworne vnto theeues or pirates by compulsion may not prophane his othe Likewise Machiauell is worthie of many stripes who counselled his Prince to put on the foxes skinne when his other shiftes did faile and to follow that yong mans example who said I swore an othe by tongue but I beare a mind vnsworne Obiection An Obligation whereby a man is bound may bee made voyde by the authoritie of a Magistrate Also it is a rule in lawe A compelled othe is no oth therefore a man compelled to sweare may choose whether hee will keepe his othe or no. Answere There bee two sorts of obligations The first wherby a man is bounde by writing vnto another man and this kinde of obligation may bee made frustrate by the Iudges The second whereby a maÌ„ is bounde either vnto his friendes or enemies and this onely belongeth to GOD who by them is called to record Moreouer although this obligation by othe may bee made voyde by the publike law yet notwithstanding it remaineth stedfast in the priuate law of a mans conscience Of Heretiques and Schismatiques Chap. 23. THey are to be accounted heretiques which contumatiously defend erronious opinions in the church of Christ and will not by any exhortations bee conuerted to the truth Such were the Arrians that helde three degrees in the Trinitie Such were the Menandrians Manichaeans Carpocratians Cerinthians Valentinians Somosatenians Nouatians Ebionites Noetians Macedonians Douatists Tertullianists Pelagians Nestorians and others â— which by Iustinian the Emperour were afterwards condemned their goods confiscated and themselues either banished or put to death Innumerable examples coÌ„cerning heretiques are extant but I will coÌ„tent my selfe at this time with the rehearsall onely of two of theÌ„ the memory wherof is as yet rife amongst many of vs. In the yeere of our Lorde 1561. and the third yeere of the raigne of Queen Elizabeth there was in London one William Ieffery that impudently affirmed Iohn Moore a companion of his to bee Iesus Christ and would not reuoke his foolish beleefe vntill hee was whipped from Southwarke to Bedlem where the saide Moore meeting with him was whipped likewise vntill they both confessed that Christ was in heauen themselues but sinfull and wicked heretiques In like maner about ten yeeres ago I my selfe being then a scholer at Westminster Henry ArthingtoÌ„ Edmond Coppinger two gentlemen bewitched by one William Hackets dissimulations concluded him to bee the Messias and thereupon ranne into Cheapside proclaiming the said Hacket to bee Christ. For which hereticall or rather Diuelish deuice they were apprehended and imprisoned in the end Hacket was hanged on a gallowes placed vp in Cheapside Arthington was kept in prison vpoÌ„ hope of repentance Coppinger died for sorrow the next day in Bridewell Thus we see that truth although for a time it be darkened by a cloude yet at last it preuailes and gettes the victory the Heretiques themselues are by Gods speciall iudgements confounded and their couragious opinions in a moment abated Neither will it be long ere that the Romish Bishop the sonne of Belial shall see his
