hée goes daily apparelled like a lord though he be but a deuill his haire frisled perfumed y ● should Vespasian but smell him as once hée did a knight in Rome as Suetonius reporteth he would banish him his court for his labor By day he walks y ● streets the Erchange to spy out faire women by night he courts them with maskes consorts and musicke he will sigh like a dog that hath lost his master if his miseres refuse him wéepe like a Crocadile till he haue won himselfe credit if his mistres saith It is against her conscience Tut saith he lechery is no sinne find me one Philosopher that held simple fornication for offensiue This is he that corrupts maidens to vnlawsull desires for mony and cals Adultery by another name A fit of good fellowship This is the lord of all bawdy houses patron of Peticote-lane one that would build an hospitall for decaied whores but y t he is loth to be at the charges If he take vp commodities it is Cock-sparrows Potatos and Herringes and the hottest wines are his ordinary drink to increase his courage his table talke is but of how many wenches he hath courted that wéeke and Blindnes of heart waiting like a page on his trencher you shall heare him laugh at his greatest villani●…s most heartily when he rides you shall know him by his fan if he walke abroad misse his mistres fauor about his neck arme or thigh he hangs the head like y e soldier in the field y ● is disarmed put him to a sonnet Du Portes cannot equall him nay in y ● nice tearmes of lechery he excéeds him at Riddles he is good at Purposes better but at Tales he hath no equall for Bandello is more perfit w t him then his Paternoster Tell him y e Turks Iewes seuerely punish such sin admit no stewes I saith he like a cursed Atheist that prooues thē stocks no men His care is for nothing but perfumes Elixar y ● one to make him smel swéet y ● other to lengthen life for of all things he will not heare of death A fit companion is this man for such as be idle if any aske what

you counsell him to fast hée commands his cook to make ready a fat capon for his supper he is wholly y ● deuils of whom he is begotten Tell him he hath y ● pox tut it is a gentlemens disease the cause of purging corrupt humors are the effects of health Such is this Deuil incarnate who both deserues to be known auoided the rather by reasō of his page blindnes of heart for he it was y ● first made the Sodomites inwardly outwardly blind he it was y ● corrupted y ● false Iudges to seduce Susanna this is he y ● distracteth our eies lest we should sée heauen blindeth our hearts least we should behold Gods iust Iudgements And therfore Antiquity in painting y ● god of loue haue made him blind because affectiō is blind maketh them blind that follow it As therfore y ● eie of the soule by which as Plato witnesseth we behold y ● essence of God is a great blessing of y ● Holy ghost so blindnes of vnderstanding his opposite wherby we are tied to carnal desires is y e worst of many infirmities Plato in his Dialogues cōpares this cōcupiscēse to a sieue into which y ● more water you poure y e more it spils yet in y ● end it is neuer filled In like sort a man y ● thinks to satisfie himselfe in this Fornication demeaneth himselfe like him that striues to fill a sleue with water The Doctor Gerson speaking to this purpose brings an example of him y ● is seased with a burning feuer who if he drinke a glasse of fresh water thinkes himselfe sufficiently cooled but in lesse then a quarter of an houre after he is more distempered then euer As likewise one that is troubled with the Itch the more he scratcheth the more his flesh tingleth so the more a man séeketh to asswage Lust the more it encreaseth The only conquest of this Deuill is to flie him and for that cause this is a Maxime held amongst the Fathers that Facilius vincitur luxuria fugiendo quam pugnando Lechery is better conquered in flying it then resisting it Tullie though an Ethnicke entring into the confideration of Fornication and Lust saith thus that It closeth vp the eies of our soules and hindreth Iudgement And Plutarch reporting Hannibals follies at Cannas holdeth Lust and effeminate pleasure to be the downfall of his fortunes Why stand I so long on this Deuill when a greater preaseth forth and presents himselfe And who is that but Adultery an arranter knaue then his brother Looke vpon his lips the one is single the other double and though he be apparelled like a Citizen hée hath doings in all countries This is he will let his wife want to maintaine a harlot and laugh at his childrens misery so his lust be satisfied This fiend hath a concubine in euery corner and ordinarily a whore in his houshold hée hath two of his owne kindred continually attending him Precipitation and Inconsideration the one hindreth his prouidence and counsell and without regard transports him with amorous passions for where Blindnesse of heart marcheth before Precipitation must néeds follow to make him carelesse in his actions For as Plato saith Voluptas omnium insolentissima est Pleasure and Lust is the most insotent of all things for it perturbeth our spirits and taketh away ●…he empire of liberty This fellow peruerts memory hurteth consideration kils prouidence and treads downe aduice The other called Inconsideration hinders both reason and iudgement by fleshly delights dulleth the memory in respect of God bréedeth an Apoplexie and benumming of the soule Furnished with these two followers what impietie leaues Adultery vndone his neighbour is made iealous his wife a strumpet his doore is hourely haunted with a Sumner and catch him out of the Arches one tearme hée will forseit his vpper garment for default his owne house is hell to him a baudie house his heauen and for his companions hée chooseth none but the arrantest dronckards in a countrey Hée hath no spirit to goodnesse neither is hée mooued to godlinesse his felicitie is the surfets of his flesh and paine with him is no more thought of then it is felt hée is readie at a iarre to set strife betwixt man and wife and to this intent forsooth that he may take possession of another mans frée hold and make a common of his neighbours inclosure He spights him most that examines his procéedings and will chafe till he sweat againe

saith Ebri et as peior fuit quam Sodoma qui●… quem Sodoma nondecepit illa caepit Dronkennesse was worse then Sodome for when Sodome could not deceiue hee ouertooke These considered let this fiend be auoided if not in regard that he defameth vs in this world yet in respect that hée kéepes and excludeth vs out of heauen The second fiend of this race is Immoderate and Disordinate Ioy and he became incorporate in the bodie of a ●…easter this fellow in person is comely in apparell courtly but in behauiour a very ape and no man his studie is to coine bitter ieasts or to show antique motions or to sing baudie sonnets and ballads giue him a little wine in his head he is cōtinually flearing and making of mouthes he laughes intemperately at euery litle occasion and dances about the house leaps ouer tables out-skips mens heads trips vp his companions héeles burns Sacke with a candle and hath all the feats of a Lord of misrule in the countrie féed him in his humor you shall haue his heart in méere kindnesse he will hug you in his armes kisse you on the chéeke and rapping out an horrible oth crie Gods Soule Tum I loue you you know my poore heart come to my chamber for a pipe of Tabacco there liues not a man in this world that I more honor In these ceremonies you shall know his courting and it is a speciall marke of him at the table he sits and makes faces kéep not this fellow company for in iugling with him your Wardropes shall be wasted your credits crackt your crownes consumed and time the most precious riches of the world vtterly lost Nemo sal at sobrius saith the Prouerbe A wise man neuer danceth fli●… therefore this Deuill except you long to be fooles with him and vnfortunately end in your dancing like Lewis Archbishop of Magdēburge who in treading his lauo●…tos and corrant●…s with his mistresse in trying the horsetrick broke his necke remember your selues likewise of this verse in the old Poet Post flores fructus post maxima gaudia luctus Fruits followes flowers and sorrow greatest ioy Beside consider what Seneca writeth of worldly ioy where he saith it is the messenger of future miserie Flie it therefore for it is alwaies seconded by some sorrow or mischiefe Another sonne of this race is Multiplication of words and he first incarnated himselfe in the bodie of an Intelligencer this is a notable knauish fiend to intangle any man for he neuer ceaseth to giue occasion in his cups for men to ouershoot themselues he will of purpose cast out suspitious words of his Prince to sée how men are affected talke of forbidden bookes to get some man confesse if hée conceale any of them I would you should well know hée hath béene a trauailer and can play the Nullifidian as well as any of Sathans succession whittle him a little like the King of France his Switzer when he had drunk vp the bottle of Gréek wine hée will tell you the secrets of all the Commonweales of Christendome he is an inward man in the Emperours estate and dare assure you that he hath nothing of the Empire but certain summes of mony which he receiueth annually of the imperiall townes and of certaine Gentlemen that hold their lands immediately of the Empire and if you draw him to computation he saith it is about some 200 thousand Florins by yeare As for that in Boheme and Mora●…a and places appertaining to the said Realm he gathereth no more in them then 700 thousand Florins annually Touching Silesia Lausatia and Hungary he saith they hold all in fée of the Empire He can assure you that Denmarke Sue●…ia Hungary and Boheme are electiues and that in Wallachia the Turke ordaineth the gouernors yet Christians necessarily because al the nation follow the Gréeke church Bring him into Poland he is able to say thus much of that kingdome that the King hath for reuenue but six or seuen hundreth thousand Dollers for the intertainement of his house and that when he maketh war it is vpon the expence of the country without the consent of whom hée can otherwise do nothing And if you inquire of his forces he thinks the countrey may well bring 140 thousand furnisht horse into the field vpon occasion of seruice If you fall in question of the Turke his knowledge is this that he hath alwaies in prest for the war 130 thousand Timariste who are waged by lands which the Turke hath giuen them to the end they should entertain so many horse at his command he hath beside them 14 thousand Ianisaries and 36 thousand Spaies continually waged by mony Besides all those that goe into the war or haue any place or dignity vnder him are either Apostataes or the sonnes of Renegados as for the Turks by race they are alwaies kept in seruitude and pouertie either exercised in Marchandise or seruing in the Temples Touching his reuenue hée hath nine millions of gold besides the presents which his officers send him and the lands of his owne demeasne besides he hath Daces or taxes of the Iews and Christians euery one paying him a Shikin a year And touching his gouernors he saith they are Basshawes and that the continuance of their authorities is but from thrée yeares to thrée yeares Bring the Pope in question he can tell you this for perhaps he hath knowne his beneuolence that hée built the Seminary of the Iesuits of an hospital contrary to the will of the dead and how he hath taken thrée hundreth crownes of pencion lately from them so that now they haue but sixe hundreth to maintaine themselues he is séen in many other things likewise which I must not speake of but beware of multiplying words with him for though hée butt not with his horns because he will not bée thought a cuckold hée will giue a shroud wound with his tongue that may bring a man to his necke-verse hee hath continually a warrant in his pocket and vnder colour of attaching Traitors troubles and spoiles many honest men Blesse your selues from him Maisters for though he hath a smooth tongue his heart is deceitful Of his race was Sinon that betraied Troy and of his faction be all such most to bée feared and fled from Qui Curi●…s simulant Bacchanalia viuunt That seeme graue men but are lasciuious knaues Wonderfull it is to sée his course he is generall and open in discourse but vnder intent to deceaue he will play the good fellow but to make 〈◊〉 profite of any man he will speake in serious matter though he shew himselfe a foole and conclude vpon any thing though it be without reason though the course of intelligence according to Machiauell be necessary in an estate and worthy the execution of a considerate and good man for his countries sake yet the Sparta being laid on his shoulders that hath no honestie maketh that estate odious which otherwise would be honest Thus
