is commonly rotten in his talk And as evil words corrupt good manners so they also discover corrupt manners the foul stomach betrayes it self in a stinking breath and a wicked heart in wicked communication But where Grace is in the heart it will manifest it self in holy Heavenly and savoury speeches The Sin of Bribery condemned IT is reported of Sir Thomas More then Lord Chancellor of England that when two great silver Flaggons were sent him by a Knight that had a Suit depending in Chancery though gilded with the specious pretence of gratuity sent them back again filled with his best Wine saying If your Master likes it let him send for more And when his Lady at another time offered him a great bribe in the behalf of a suppliant he turned away with these words Gentle Eve I will none of your apple An upright Man he was in the place of Judicature And it were to be wished That all those who succeed him on the Bench were not almost but altogether like him in the matter of Iustice distributive but so it is and which is to be lamented the Rulers love to say with shame Bring ye their right hands are full of bribes they are ready to transgresse for a piece of bread they love gifts and follow after rewards and like the Horse-leeches daughter they cry Give give so that by woful experience the ballance of Equity is tited too too often on the one side and the cause of the poor out-vyed with power and greatnesse No Man free from Temptations A Countryman riding with an unknown Traveller whom he conceived honest over a dangerous Plain This place said he is infamous for robbery but for my own part though often riding over it early and late I never saw any thing worse then myself In good time replyed the other and presently demanded his purse and robbed him Thus it is that no place no Company no Age no person is Temptation-free let no Man brag that he was never tempted let him not be high-minded but fear for he may be surprised in that very instant wherein he boasteth that he was never tempted at all The Holy Scriptures to be made the rule of all our actions IT is written of Boleslaus one of the Kings of Poland that he still carried about him the picture of his Father and when he was to do any great work or set upon any design extraordinary he would look on the picture and pray That he might do nothing unworthy of such a Fathers name Thus it is that the Scriptures are the picture of Gods Will and therein drawn out to the very life before a Man enter upon or engage himself in any businesse whatsoever let him look there and read there what is to be done what to be undone and what God commands let that be done what he forbids let that be undone let the ballance of the Sanctuary weigh all the Oracles of God decide all the rule of Gods Word be the square of all and his glory the ultimate of all intendments whatsoever Charity rewarded to the full THere is a story of a certain godly and charitable Bishop of Millain who journeying with his servant was met by some poor People that begg'd an alms of him The Bishop commanded his Man to give them all the little money that he had which was three Crowns But his servant thinking to be a better husband for his Master gave them but two Crowns reserving the third for their expences at night Soon after certain Noblemen meeting the Bishop and knowing him to be a good Man and one that was liberal to the poor commanded two hundred Crowns to be delivered to the Bishop's servant for his Master's use The Man having received the money ran with great joy and told his Master of it Ah said the Bishop Si enim tres dedisses trecentas accepisses What wrong hast thou done to me and thy self For if thou hast given those three Crowns as I appointed thee thou shouldst have received three hundred And most true it is that such open-handed and such open-hearted Christians have more then once Gods Word of promise for such ample retribution Bounty is said to be the most compendious way to plenty neither is getting but giving the best way to thrift For in works of Charity our scattering is our encreasing no spending but a lending no laying out but a laying up Prov. 11. 24. Why it is that they which have the strongest Graces are subject to the strongest corruptions IT is observable in Nature That those Creatures which have the most excellency in them have something also of defect and deformity in them as if the God of Nature did it to keep them humble in a posture as it were of condiscension The Peacock hath glittering feathers and yet black feet The Swan hath white feathers but under that a black skin The Eagle hath many excellencies quick-sight and high flight but yet very ravenous The Camell and Elephant are great and stately Creatures but of a deformed shape So it is in the state of Grace God doth suffer some strong and unsubdued lusts and corruptions to remain in the dearest of his Children and that even in such who have not onely truth but strength of Grace in them the Messenger of Sathan to busset them and a thorn in the flesh to let out the impostumated matter of pride out of their hearts whereby they become more condescending to the weak lesse depending upon their own Righteousnesse and so are brought to think better of others then themselves yea to judge themselves the least of Saints and greatest of Sinners that may be Grace and goodnesse to be highly esteemed even in Men of the lowest condition THere is mention made of an ancient King who made a great Feast and invited a company of poor people which were Christians and he bade his Nobles also Now when the poor Christians were come he had them up into the Presence-Chamber but when the Nobles came he set them in the Hall Being thereupon demanded the reason he answered I do not this as I am their King here for I respect you more then them but as I am King of another World I must needs honour these as Gods dear C●ildren and such as though dejected now shall be Kings and Princes with me hereafter and I would have you esteem of them according to their worth and shew it And so without all doubt great is the worth of true Christians A Pearl upon a dunghill is worth stooping for and a gratious Man or Woman though outwardly cloathed with raggs worth looking after Sure it is that God looks on them as his Iewels as a chosen generation a Royal Priesthood an holy Nation a peculiar People his delight his chosen ones his dear Children and what not It much conc●rns us then to set
