troubled that I wotte not what to saie I see that Truth Right Iustice and Equitie are not to be founde on the yearth Theo. Where shall we seke them then In the Popes courte or in the courtes of Princes or great lordes that persecute the churche of Christ Who doeth now maintaine truthe and iustice but onely suche as Dauid describeth these of Saules court to be that is his mortall enemies of whō he complaineth thus Thei goe to and fro in the euenyng thei barke like dogs and go about the citie Behold thei bragg in their talke and swordes are in their lips Euen as thei that were sent by Saule went and came and closed Dauids house whē Saule sought to put hym to death to the end he might not escape and as thei rored howled like doggs that pursue wilde beastes euen so doe thei now adaies seke after the true seruauntes of God We may adde to this saiyng of Dauid that that he saieth in an other Psalme of the nature of the wicked thus He saieth in his harte I shal neuer be moued nor be in dāger His mouth is full of cursyng deceipte fraude vnder his tong is mischief iniquitie He lieth in waite in y e villages in the secret places doeth he murther th' innocent his eyes are bent against the poore Wherefore doeth the wicked condemne God he saith in his harte thou wilte not regarde Heare also what Micheas saieth touchyng the same matter The good man is perished out of the earth there is none rightous emong men thei all lye in waite for blood euery man hunteth his brother with a nette To make good for the euil of their handes the Prince asked and the Iudge iudged for a reward therefore the greate man he speaketh out of the corruption of his soule so thei wrap it vp The best of thē is as a brier and the moste rightous of them is sharper then the Thorne hedge Tobie All this we see in our tyme. Theo. Therfore we maie well saie that it is the tyme whereof Esaie complaineth saiyng Your handes are full and poluted with blood your fingers with inquitie Your lips speake lies and your tong murmureth wickednesse There is none that crieth for iustice none iudgeth accordyng to trothe but trust in vaine thynges Thei speake thynges of nought thei cōceiue labor and bryng forthe iniquitie Thei haue broken the serpēts eggs and thei spin the spiders web He that eateth of their eggs shall dye and if thei bee broken there will come forthe a Cockatrice The woorke of wickednesse is in their handes their feete run to doe mischief and thei make haste to shed the blood of y e innocēt Their thoughtes are thoughtes of vanitie wast and perdition is in their waie thei haue not knowen the way of peace and there is no iudgemēt in their pathes Thei so peruerted their own waies that whosoeuer walketh in thē shall not knowe peace And therfore heare what councell Michea giueth vs against suche people Trust ye not in a frēd neither put ye confidence in a counceller kepe the dores of thy mouthe frō her that lieth in thy bosome For the sonne reuileth the Father the daughter riseth vp against her Mother the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe and a mans enemies are the men of his own house Therfore I will looke vnto the lorde I will waite for God my Sauior my God will heare me Tobie I promise you this is very good counsell Theo. Who cā deny but that Esay was a great Phisitiō and did better knowe the Nature of man then euer did Esculapius Hypocrates or Gallen whiche are estemed the princes of Phisick For in their liues thei neuer made so good true Anatomie of man as the Prophet hath doen in this place euen now alledged neither did thei euer describe so truely liuely al the partes of the bodie to make vs the better to knowe and vnderstand all the nature therof For he maketh an Anatomie bothe of body and soule wherein he so aptly describeth all the partes with their properties y t there is nothyng that cā be added vnto it He firste sheweth generally what whole man is then commeth he to the principall partes of him that is the hed and the hart and frō them to the tong and the mouthe the handes the feete to th ende his Anatomie might be perfite for further declaration thereof he saith iudgement is turned backward and iustice standeth a farre of for truthe is fallen in the ●●reate and equitie cannot enter Yea truth faileth and he that refraineth from euill maketh hym self a praie and when the Lorde sawe it it displeased hym that there was no Iudgement And when he sawe that there was no man he wondered that none would offer hymself therefore his arme did saue it and his righteousnesse it self did sustain it Tobie I would he would yet saie more for there was neuer more neede I beleue when the Prophet spake this he foresawe by inspiration of the holy ghoste the trade of the worlde now adaies for it is vnpossible better to painte out our tyme or with liuelier colours then he hath doen. For what is the worlde now but a wilde Forrest and desert of horrible theftes and murthers For there is now almost no iustice but in the force of the hande and sworde whereby he carieth awaie the price bee it right or wrong Is not this true Ierome Ierom. Ouid saith touching this matter that thei feare no lawes but iustice and equitie are cōstrained to giue place to force and violence and right beeyng ouercome is throwen doune laied vnder the sword And anon after speakyng of the Iron age in his Metamorphosis he concludeth L● now lies pitie vnder foote and Ladie Iustice laste Of heauenly vertues from this yearth in slaughter drouned paste He meaneth as muche in effect as Hesiodus before hym had saied whiche is thus muche in somme Now shamefastnesse and Iustice eke cleane clad in white araie Are fled from hence and bootlesse griefes haue left to men for aie Seing then that it appeareth that there is nothing but wil might in place of reasō and right it is like the exāple that Homer bringeth forthe of king Agamemnon who said if ye wil not giue it me I wil take it Tobie That sentēce was very tirānous but what other thyng is vsed almoste now adaies And Hesiodus speaking of the like thyng bryngeth forthe an example of the Hauke and Nightingale wherin he doeth as it were reproue tyrantes and sheweth how the small and weaker sorte are constrained to suffer wrong and extortion of the stronger and violent and that tirantes are emong men as priyng foule are emōg birdes his words are thus muche in effect But now to Kyngs a tale I tell whiche happly earst thei knewe The Hauke fast caught the Nightyngale and high in clouds she flewe This sillie birde when
