i_o will_v make_v a_o holy_a vow_n of_o a_o idle_a complement_n vow_v myself_o the_o servant_n of_o his_o servant_n 57_o as_o there_o be_v few_o good_a physician_n for_o the_o body_n ●o_o there_o be_v not_o many_o for_o the_o soul_n as_o those_o of_o the_o body_n let_v many_o die_v for_o want_v of_o skill_n so_o those_o of_o the_o soul_n let_v many_o perish_v because_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o they_o i_o have_v see_v a_o empirick_n prescribe_v a_o cold_a remedy_n for_o a_o cold_a disease_n like_o those_o who_o seek_v to_o cure_v the_o desperation_n of_o god_n mercy_n with_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o justice_n as_o therefore_o the_o physician_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o esteem_v except_o he_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v no_o more_o be_v the_o physician_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v value_v unless_o he_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o that_o he_o say_v god_n have_v leave_v to_o his_o minister_n weapon_n to_o wound_n and_o balm_n to_o heal_v key_n to_o open_a &_o key_n to_o shut_v but_o some_o of_o they_o want_v theological_a prudencie_n manage_v these_o thing_n amiss_o as_o therefore_o know_v the_o constitution_n of_o my_o own_o body_n i_o will_v give_v the_o physician_n direction_n in_o some_o thing_n so_o know_v well_o the_o ill_a estate_n of_o my_o own_o soul_n i_o will_v in_o some_o thing_n supply_v the_o defect_n and_o ignorance_n of_o my_o ghostly_a physician_n 58_o it_o be_v a_o common_a speech_n that_o every_o man_n be_v either_o a_o fool_n or_o a_o physician_n that_o be_v he_o know_v what_o do_v he_o good_a and_o take_v it_o and_o look_v what_o do_v he_o hurt_v he_o refuse_v it_o it_o fare_v not_o so_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o in_o those_o most_o be_v fool_n and_o few_o be_v physician_n like_o child_n covet_v that_o which_o harm_v they_o and_o fly_v that_o which_o help_v they_o i_o care_v not_o if_o i_o be_v a_o fool_n in_o my_o bodily_a diet_n so_o i_o be_v a_o physician_n for_o the_o health_n of_o my_o soul_n 59_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a the_o consideration_n that_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v herself_o imprison_v in_o the_o body_n yet_o she_o can_v endure_v that_o her_o prison_n shall_v be_v imprison_v of_o this_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a reason_n first_o because_o she_o love_v not_o to_o be_v double_a wall_a in_o and_o second_o this_o bring_v to_o her_o mind_n her_o own_o imprisonment_n with_o the_o thraldom_n and_o subjection_n she_o live_v in_o to_o the_o sense_n yet_o withal_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n remarkable_a in_o she_o that_o she_o be_v never_o so_o glad_a as_o when_o she_o have_v give_v her_o body_n the_o slip_n &_o leave_v it_o imprison_v in_o the_o grave_n though_o at_o nature_n first_o motion_n she_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v from_o it_o as_o have_v dwell_v so_o long_o in_o it_o lord_n let_v my_o body_n go_v to_o his_o earthly_a prison_n that_o my_o soul_n may_v enjoy_v that_o heavenly_a liberty_n so_o shall_v she_o be_v free_a of_o heaven_n and_o free_a from_o earth_n 60_o example_n take_v from_o great_a man_n hurt_v more_o than_o if_o they_o be_v take_v from_o poor_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o adversity_n make_v a_o man_n know_v himself_o whereas_o prosperity_n make_v he_o know_v himself_o too_o well_o now_o it_o be_v more_o safe_a to_o follow_v he_o that_o know_v himself_o than_o he_o that_o do_v not_o for_o as_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o truth_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o divine_a wisdom_n so_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n self_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o humane_a i_o will_v therefore_o soon_o imitate_v those_o who_o misery_n have_v tame_v than_o those_o who_o joy_n have_v make_v wild_a 61_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n to_o write_v and_o print_v thing_n foolish_a thing_n foolish_a i_o call_v thing_n lewd_a &_o void_a of_o sense_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v content_a that_o only_o the_o present_a generation_n shall_v call_v he_o fool_n but_o that_o posterity_n also_o shall_v prick_v &_o pick_v he_o out_o for_o one_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v not_o impart_v that_o knowledge_n to_o any_o man_n which_o may_v make_v he_o forget_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o remember_v himself_o may_v make_v he_o know_v that_o i_o forget_v myself_o 62_o all_o flatterer_n be_v odious_a and_o dangerous_a and_o above_o all_o other_o
