A54805	The creples complaint, or, A sermon preached Sept. 29, 1661 at Akly, near Buckingham, upon some sad occasion in which among many motives unto loyalty and other religious duties is proved, by lamentable experience, that good things are better known when they are not, than when they are enjoyed / by Thomas Philpot.	Philpot, Thomas, b. 1588?	1662 (1662)	Wing P2124A; ESTC R28438	45,670	51

diurnal such as Hectick-Fevers who keeping daily their constant course usual hours and as they are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or at an hour So sometime they happen in an hour and are not holpen in a year Secondly diuturnal such as Sciaticaes who like wantons feed upon Jellies got betwixt the joynts and will not willingly change their diet not easily be ejected for so the Poet Sero medicina paratur Cum mala per longas convaluere moras though that is not lost which comes at last yet that is lost which comes too late Hipocrates doth second the Poet saying Morbi s●nescentes medendi sunt difficiles Diseases durable are hardly curable In all which diseases as the Crisis so the Cresis is to be considered which Crisis is not the day when one doth feele himself sick but when he doth Succumbere morbo find that he is sick by reason that the disease had gotten the dominion over him Secondly the Crisis is not when Consuetudi tollit sensum when custome taketh away the sence of feeling of what is suffered but when custome being a second nature Expellas furca licet will not easily be repulsed as may appear by this poor man who had been diseased eight and thirty years and could not be cured but by a miracle And now as these habitual diseases are in distempered bodies so are they also in disaffected dispositions especially in such claudicants or lame Lourdans who when they are most diseased have least care to be cured First such are Claudicantes in officio lame in their duties or in their offices and although I intend not to meddle with Officers either in Court or Countrey yet I hope it will be no ill office to tell them what Officers there are There are first Ostiarii such door-keepers as David desired to be one which was to be a doot-keeper in the house of God and he had good reason for to desire it for then he should be more sure to be Porter of Heaven-gate than St. Peter for Domus Dei est Porta Coeli The house of God is the gate of Heaven Secondly Ostiaerii not that their doors are brass but that the Door-keepers do desire Aes alienum numerare to have some of the money at the door to be their own and if not should Christ himself stand at the door and knock the Door-keepers will have ears but will not hear hands but not as much as heave up a latch unlesse they may handle what they would have Thirdly there are Pseudothyra back-doors with this inscription Postico falle clientem if thou seest nothing coming to thee at the fore-door get thee out at the back-door and let thy Client knock till he be weary Fourthly Feodothyra such doors as Aeneas could not have opened unto him until he had given Cerberus a sop but such door-keepers should be wary in receiving such sops knowing who it was that entred into Iscariot so soone as the sop was received Fifthly Bifores valva Two-leafed doors which are said to move Argenti limine hanging on silver hooks shutting also and opening on silver thresholds such doors hang heavie on the hinges and if they be not well oyled the Door-keepers will out of their affected ignorance mistake the meaning of their honest Masters for when this is their rule Porta patens esto nulli clauderis honesto Let your door be open to all Petitioners especially to honest men The Door-keepers mistaking the comma or point make also a contrary construction and write it thus Porta patens esto nulli clauderis henesto Let not your door be opened unto any Petitioner Salvo feodo especially to an honest man So that the feeling of a Pulse may be as proper to a Porter as to a Physitian There are other Claudicants which are not Officers and yet are lame in their offices and duties in a higher degree and that is in coming to Church to serve God and such are they who cannot keep the Sabbath without breaking of the Sabbath for when on that day our servants and our cattle should rest from all servile labour as well as our selves and when the seventh day is a feast as well as a rest yet on that day they must fast and not rest and all to ease the lamenesse or rather lazinesse of those who when they come to Church Spectatum veniunt veniunt spectentur ut ipsae Come neither to hear nor to learn but to see and to be seen And what shall we see Reeds shaking and waving with every wind Or what shall we see Males and Females In mollicie carnis cloathed in soft rayment But what shall we see a company of Jacobs party-coloured Kids or spotted Lambs Yea we shall see many of your fine Rufilli who but for their Pastilli and powders would be Gorgonii The Poet doth speak it plainer Pastillos Rufillus olet Gorgonius hireum That is as al the ill-sented skins of those Kids which Jacob had upon his hands and the smooth of his neck would have been offensive to his father but for the cloths of his brother whose smell was as the sweet smell of a field which the Lord had blessed So all their Essences as they terme them and other effeminate Odors would be so offensive unto God that he would not endure them were it not for the Odours and Orisons of holy men and for those Prayers and sweet perfumes of their Aarons who are fain to stand betwixt the Porch and the Altar and cry Quis teneros oculus mihi facinat agnos O ye foolish Galateaes I would say Galathians who hath bewitched you Now were this wantonnesse in the weaker Sex alone their weaknesse might be born with but when men shall be Ut faemina compti of the same complexion and in the same condition Spectatum admissi risum tineatis amici Could you refrain laughing Yes but not weeping for should Democratus himself come into some of our Churches he would also change his countenance and turn his smiling into mourning Thus we may see their lamenesse in coming to the Church and carelesse carriage in the Church Which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or lasie gout the Physicians will tell you that it cometh from Bacchus or Venus or from both which being both hinderers of devotion they that are devoted unto them cannot as is said keep the Sabbath without breaking of the Sabbath When others peradventure not so great sinners as they although the Tower of Saloe hath fallen on some of them would be glad that not for pettilasonies but petty lapses they might have no harder penance imposed on them than to go on foot yea barefoot as farre unto their Parish Churches though they were as far distant as from White-Hall to White-Chappel For they for any offence concerning the Law of their God so that they may be freed from the fiery trial shall be injoyned a Pilgrimage to travel as far as from Dover to Saint Davids it being one of the directest Diamiters of our Land
