one with that of the Palsey specially if it be caused of cold and grosse humours To helpe a man of this spirituall trembling these intentions must be respected First to purge his heart by repentance from those fowle and feculent corruptions wherewith it is infected and being cleane himselfe he will more charitably censure of others Then teach him to lay the heauiest loade on himselfe and to spare others True wisedome from aboue is without iudging without hypocrisie The wisest men are the least censurers they haue so much a doe to mend all at home that their neighbours liue quietly enough by them Set him a good affection and he will haue a good construction Minister to his soule a draught of charitie which will clense him of suspition for Charitie thinkes no euill None It thinkes no euill vnlesse it perceiue it apparantly To credite all were sillinesse to credite none sullinnesse Against his timorousnesse he hath an excellent receit set downe by God himselfe Feare not the feare of the wicked but sanctifie the Lord of hosts himselfe let him be your feare let him be your dread The way for him to feare nothing as he doth is to feare one thing as he should Awfull reuerence to God doth rather bolden then terrifie a man They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion which cannot be remooued but abideth for euer They may be moued they cannot bee remoued from what is good from what is their good their god This course may cure his paralyticke soule only if it shall please God to be his Physician Immoderate Thirst and Ambition Disease 10 THere is a disease in the bodie called immoderate thirst which is after much drinking desired and answered a still sensible drinesse By this I would I suppose not vnfitly expresse that spirituall disease Ambition a proud soules thirst when a draught of honour causeth a drought of honour and like Tullies strange soyle much raine of promotion falling from his heauen the Court makes him still as drie as dust He is a most ranke Churle for he drinkes often and yet would haue no man pledge him Cause THe disease is caused in the body through abundant heate drying vp moysture and this is done by hot cholericke or salt humours engendred in the stomake or through Feuers burning or Ecticke Signes and Symptomes THe Signes of the disease are best discerned by the patients words The cause of Ambition is a strong opinion of honour how well he could become a high place or a high place him It is a proud couetousnesse a glorious and Court-madnes The head of his reason caught a bruise on the right side his vnderstanding and euer since he followes affection as his principall guide Hee professeth a new quality called the art of climbing wherin he teacheth others by patterne not so much to aspire as to break their neckes No staire pleaseth him if there be a higher and yet ascended to the top he complaines of lownesse He is not so soone layd in his bed of honour but hee dreames of a higher preferment and would not sit on a seate long enough to make it warme His aduancement giues him a fresh prouocation and he now treades on that with a disdainfull foote which ere-while hee would haue kissed to obtaine Hee climbes falling towers and the hope to scale them swallowes all feare of toppling downe Hee is himselfe an Intelligencer to greatnes yet not without vnder-officers of the same ranke You shall see him narrow-eyed with watching affable and open-brested like Absolon full of insinuation so long as he is at the staire-foote but when authoritie hath once spoken kindly to him with Friend sit vp higher he lookes rougher then Hercules so bigge as if the riuer of his bloud would not bee banked within his veines His tongue is flabellum Diaboli and flagellum iusti bent to scourge some flatter others infect infest all Agrippina Neros mother being told by an Astrologer that her sonne should be Emperour but to her sorrow answered Let my sorrow be what it will so my sonne may get the Empire He hath high desires low deserts As Tully for his Pindinessus he spends much money about a little preferment and with greater cost then the captaine bought his Burgesship hee purchaseth incorporeall fame which passeth away as swift as time doth follow motion whose weight is nothing but in her name wheras a lower place well managed leaues behinde it a deathlesse memory Like a great winde he blowes downe all friends that stand in his way to rising Policy is his post-horse and he rides all vpon the spurre till he come to None-such His greatest plague is a Riuall Nec quemquam iam ferre potest Caesarue priorem Pompeiusue parem Tolluntur in altum vt lapsu grauiore ruant He is a child in his gaudy desires and great Titles are his rattles which still his crying til he see a new toy He kisses his wits as a Courtier his hand when any wished fortune salutes him and it tickles him that he hath stolne to promotiō without Gods knowledg Ambitio ambientium crux Ambition is the racke whereon hee tortureth himselfe The court is the sea wherein he desires to fish but the net of his wit and hope breakes and there he drownes himselfe An old courtier being asked what he did at Court answered I doe nothing but vndoe my selfe Cure FOr the bodily disease caused of heate and drinesse Physicians prescribe Oxicratum a drinke made of vineger and water sodden together a chiefe intention in them is to procure sleepe c. To cure the immoderate Thirst of Ambition let him take from God this prescript He that exalteth himselfe shall be brought low but he that humbleth himselfe shall be exalted That he who sets himselfe downe in the lower room heares the masters of the feasts inuitation Friend sit vp higher That a glorious Angell by ambition became a Diuell and a Lucifer of his sonnes the king of Babylon that said I will exalt my throne aboue the starres of God is brought downe to hell and to the sides of the pit That the first step to heauens Court is humilitie Blessed are the poore in spirit for theirs is the kingdome of heauen That he who walkes on plaine ground is in little danger to fall if he do fall he riseth with small hurt but he that climbes high is in more danger of falling and if he fall of killing That the great blasts of powerfull enuie ouerthrow Oakes and Cedars that oppose their huge bodies and passe through hollow Willowes or ouer litle shrubs that grow vnder the wall That the higher state is the fairer marke for misfortune to shoote at That which way soeuer the ambitious man lookes he finds matter of deiection Aboue him behold a God casting an ambitious Angell out of heauen an ambitious king from the societie of men but so respecting the lowlinesse of his handmaiden that all generation
