consisteth alone in an idle and loytring life without any dooing at all of the Sabaoth day woorkes Ingroser Which then I praye you are Sabaoth daye woorkes No-bodie Verily these and such like Namelye that men in abstaining from bodily labours doo learn withall to cease from sinne a Neh. 8. 1. 2. c. Luke 4. 16. 17. Act. 13. 14. 15. Act. 17. 2. Act. 20. 7. Rom. 12. 13. 1. Cor. 11. 20. 1. Cor. 16. 2. Reuel 1. 10. doo wholy applye themselues to an attentiue hearing of Gods holy woord to the participation of the Sacramentes to the vse of Catechizing and singing of Psalmes with other such heauenly exercises Besides that to this so necessary a Lawe the Lord him selfe hath annexed both promises and threatninges to the ende that men might the better be brought to some dutiful performance therof Ingroser Rehearse them bothe verry bréeflye I pray you No-bodie I will And firste for the promises he saith If b Isa 58. 12. 14. Ier. 17. 21. Ezech. 20. 21. thou turne away thy foote on thy Sabaoth from dooing thy will on my holye daye and call the Sabaoth a delight to consecrate the same as glorious to the Lord and shalt honor him not dooing thine owne waies nor seeking thine owne will nor speaking a vaine woorde then shalt thou delight in the Lord and I will cause thee to mount vpon the high places of the earth and feede thee with the heritage of Iaacob thy Father for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Now next for the threatninges also he saith a Ier. 17. 27. But if thou wilt not heare me to sanctifie the Sabaoth daye and not to beare a burden nor to goe through the gates of Ierusalem on the Sabaoth daye then will I kindle a fier in the gates thereof and it shall not be quenched Loe these as I saide before are the promises and threatninges concerning this so necessarye a Lawe of the Lord. Eueri-bodie Tushe a strawe these are but scar-crowes of your owne deuising For thinke you if the matter were indéed so hainous as you séem to make it that some very good lawes would not long agoe haue béene prouided for so needfull a purpose No-bodie Good Lawes be prouided why would you wishe a Lawe of more antiquity of greater equity or of waightier importance then this which I haue showed before being both so solempnlye decréeed and so seuerely confirmed from the mouth of the Lord. But perhappes your meaning is only of the positiue lawes of Princes And so by all likelyhoode you imagine the ordinary good lawes of our Land haue hitherto had no regard at all for the Sabaoth wherin you are fully deceiued For if the penaultie appointed for the breache heerof were dulye inflicted vpon the offenders I beléeue they would saye they had lawe enough for their mony Now for proofe héereof besides other good lawes peruse the statute at large of Henry the sixt and the same will tel you that if any Faires or markets be kept vpō good Friday Corpus Christi day the Ascention day All Saints day Whitson day Trinitie Sundaye or any other Sondaye the fower Sondayes in Harueste excepted and any goods or Merchandies in them be showed the owners therof shall forfeite all their said goods so showed to the Lord of the Libertie c. Pedlar If this be certainlye true and these Statutes in force it will make some of vs wiser héerafter No-bodie As you maye searche the Recordes themselues for their trueth so when you feele what force they bare you shall finde a further certaintye of bothe But by the waye you discouer an vnconcionable hart which more feareth the force of a Statute then the fier of Hell Pedler And yet for all this if there were such a Statute and the same still in force me think the Magistrates would neuer continue so carelesse as they commonly doo in executing the same No-bodie How carelesse soeuer the Magistrates are it maketh no matter they shal one day be sure without a speedy repentance for this their carelesnesse to finde in a miserable experience that the Lord him selfe wil be carefull inough of his glorie and most sharply plague the prophanors thereof who hauing both the line of his Lawes to leade them and example also of good Nehemiah to direct their dooinges that wayes are yet notwithstanding still so carelesse therin Eueri-body I pray you sir what was Nehemiah his act No-bodie Euen that which witnesseth a wonderfull zeale of the glorye of God according as him selfe hath testified saying a Neh. 13. 15. c. In these dayes sawe I in Iudah them that trod Wine presses on the Sabaoth and that brought in sheaues and which laded Asses with Wine Grapes and Figges and all burdens and brought them into Ierusalem on the Sabaoth daye And I protested vnto them in the day that they solde victualls saying that God could not suffer such transgressors of his Law vnpunished There dwelt men of Tyrus also therin which brought fishe and all wares and solde on the Sabaoth vnto the Children of Iudah in Ierusalem Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah and said vnto them What euill thinge is this that you doo and breake the Sabaoth daye Did not your Fathers this and our God brought all this plague vpon vs and vpon this Citie Yet you encreace the wrathe vpon Israell in breaking the Sabaoth And when the gates of Ierusalem began to be darke before the Sabaoth I commaunded to shut the gates and charged that they should not be opened til after the Sabaoth And some of my seruants set I at the gates that their should no burthen be brought in on the Sabaoth day So the Chapmen and Merchantes of all Merchandise remained once or twice all night without Ierusalem And I protested among them and saide vnto them why tarry you all night about the wall If you doo it againe I will lay hands vpon you From that time came they no more on the Sabaoth Loe this is the testimonye of Nehemiah his zeale towardes the lawes of the Lord. Ingroser A very rare and notable exāple the Lord encreace the number of such zealous Magistrates But sir hauing hetherto proued a wicked affection in selling of wares from the time when they sell you are now next to proue the same further from the place where they sell No-bodie Verye true as you saye wherin also it appeareth a more euident argument of a wicked affection 2. From the place also where they sell and how I mean when wares are accustomablye solde in places consecrate to a sacred vse as in Churches Chappels Oratories and such other peculier places appointed only for the religion and seruice of God Pedler There is no man so mad as to practise this thing during the time of publique prayer Goodman Pedler an Iniunction protestant hauing especiallye an Iniunction against the same But the praiers dispatched doo you then thinke it vnlawfull to buye and sell in

and for them doe bryng in agayne eyther moneye or suche other Wares as the paynefull Fleamminges affoorde them Secondlie the Merchaunte Aduenturers which verie casuallie conuaying ouer our Cloathes Saffron and such other commodities into al the parts of the world do bring in money againe for the same and such other traffike besides as the countries commonly yeelde them Nowe both of these whether emploied by sea or by laud are rightly called Merchaunts and verye aptly comprehended vnder that first kinde of merchandry named Nauigatio Philosophus the which surely ● Politicorum as it is of all other most dangerous and yet in truth the necessariest of all for the continuance of concord betweene country and country so it deserues the greatest commendation of all and for those the aforesaide endes to be had in the highest account Ingroser Lette this suffize for that first kinde of merchandrie called Nauigatio together with the allotted endes and principall dealers therein And nowe tell vs I pray you which is the second kinde of merchandrie and to whome especially the same appertaineth No-bodie The second kinde of Merchaundrie is called Deuertio 2. The second kinde of merchandrie which is a trustie transporting of wares from those portes and hauens which were fraughted before by the aforesaide nauigation into all the other partes and quarters of the realme for the speedier supplie of so manie besides as want the same And vnder this second kinde of Merchandrie also are comprehended two sortes of traffikes For either they are those chapmen whether trauellers abroad in the country or ingrosers and retalers dwelling in Citties which from time to time do vnlade and disburden the lately ariued nauy of their wares whatsoeuer and laying them vp in their vauts and storehouses doe so sell the same and vtter them foorth vnto others as they see they haue neede or else they are those artificers wheresoeuer which doe bring their commodities newly gained to the Merchants handes as doe the Glouers to the Staplers the Clothiers to the Aduenturers and such like Thus seeking by their daily endeuour and painefull trauels to fraught the lately vnladed nauie afresh and to further the same in her future voyages for the speedier accomplishement of bothe the aboue named ends Now the ouersight and care for the execution hereof reaching it selfe generally to all more properlie belong not onely to Politikes Philosophus I meane the Magistrates of euery citie and shire 1. Ethicorum who are to see a generall prouision made for the whole bodie and state of their countrie but also in more speciall maner to housholders whose whole endeuour must principally be employed about the necessarie prouision of their housholdes and families For otherwise they a 1. Tim. 5. 8. shoulde shewe them selues to be woorse than Infidels and to haue denied the faith of Christ All which persons thus profitablie employed eyther by sea or by land are woorthtlie also accounted Merchaunts Such were b Genes 37. 28 those men of whome wee reade who carying vppon their cammelles spicerie rozen and mirrhe bought Ioseph and bare him into Egypt As are also the Merchants of our time who passing from France to Spaine ouer the mountaines called Pyrenaei doe sometimes go through the middest of those mountaines hauing an hole digged thorow before in the darke and from France to Italie ouer the Alpes and at this daye from Germanie into the low-countries adioining and not long since from high Dutch-land both Merchaunts and their wares were customablie carried into the low-countries with wagons Ingroser You haue spoken alreadie of two kindes of merchandrie the first named Nauigatio appertaining you say vnto Merchants of the Staple and Merchant aduenturers The second called Deuectio whose practise concerneth especiallie the Ingrosers Trauellers and country Artificers although the care for the execution thereof more properly beseemeth the Magistrates of cities and Maisters of families But I pray you sir to what kinde of Merchaundrie will you ascribe that facultie or trade which the Haberdashers Mercers Pedlers and such other do practise No-bodie Verely euen vnto that third kinde of Merchandrie The third kinde of merchandrie as yet remaining vntouched viz. Negotiatio that is to saie a saleable exchange of temporall thinges practized onelie by suche as do make a profession thereof for filthie gaine whiche may fitlie bee called a chopping or chaunging And of this third kinde of Merchandrie also are sundrie sorts of chopmen For eyther they are those Haberdashers Mercers Pedlers and suche like which buying of one doe sell to an other or else they are those occupiers grasiers traunters and others who carieng from any part of the realme such cattell corne and other commodities as groweth there into some other part place of the relme or who buying leane Oxen Sheep and other cattel abroad in the countrie do fat thē in pasturs so sel thē foorth for their best aduantage Now these two sortes of traffikers containing diuers sortes of chapmen are all comprehended vnder that third kinde of merchandrie called Negotiatio and maye very fitlie be termed chappers and chaungers And whereas the trade of these men shoulde especially bee employed towardes the preseruation of those poore people which are otherways vnable to make their prouision themselues wee see the same to be of al other the most beastlie abused And therefore this was that kinde of merchandrie against the abuses whereof I speciallie did bend my purpose this day Pedler What fault sir I pray you is to be founde therewith seeing you confes the same to be a kinde of merchandrie and merchandrie you sayd but euen nowe is so necessarie a matter as without the same neither kingdome nor countrie no nor this life it selfe can long time continue No-bodie Although I allowe Merchaundrie beeing simplie considered as a most necessarie means for the maintenance of all the aforesaid matters doth it therefore follow that all those abuses whatsoeuer which be commonlie incident vnto it must passe vncontrolled euen by a speciall priuiledge of that the aforesaide warrant I thinke nay For who would account this a good kinde of reasoning Such a one gyueth a generall alowance of wines as they are of themselues therefore hee disalloweth no one kind of abuse belonging to wine whatsoeuer Ingroser That were a childish collection indeede for wine although of it selfe it be a good creature of God yet oft times we see the same to be but beastlie abused No-bodie Euen so is this kind of buying and selling which although it be most necessarie for man yet notwithstanding through the abuses thereof wee see him eft-soones more endangered thereby than by any thing else whatsoeuer Pedler What abuses I pray you are to be taxed therein the same being one of those kinds of merchandrie which you say is so necessarie and commodious for man No-bodie Although the same be a kind of merchandrie 4.
