TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE MY LOuing Brother IOHN Earle of Carbery Baron of Molingar SIR Here you may behold as in a Looking-Glasse many Sickely Faces not of Heathen men but of pretended Christians with Heathenish Conditions A Glasse of Steele farre truer then that Mathematicall one whereby some haue proiected to discouer with more then Humane Spectacles Another World in the Moone of Seas Lands and Woods like Ours before it was lately dis-robed of this latter Ornament by the greedinesse of a few Iron Ma●●ers Here you may see what a number of Diseases haue taken Roote within vs. Yea more then euer were practized before Noahs Flood The maine Cause of their Destruction proceeded from their Carnall matches The Sonnes of GOD with the Daughters of Reprobates where we transgresse not onely in that but in many other ●●a● contrary to our Christian duties who haue bin now enlightned for the space of these foure score yeares Here likewise you may find preseruatiues and Cures both to preuent the imminent plagues which we haue worthily deserued as to heale the most disordred both Bodily and Spiritually if they be not past Grace yea and to dispossesse them of Diuels without prophane Holy Water or Popish Exorcismes But before these as a Frontispice vpon a Gate I haue fixed the foure first Verses of purpose that once a day at least you may repeat● them ouer And for the rest if you read them once a Weeke I doubt not but you shall receiue thereby some spirituall Comfort among other Helpes to Deuotion which are not wanting in your House Howsoeuer I am assured your Cogitations shal be somewhat rouzed vp to looke about you and to make some doubt that you haue not many yeares yet vnexpired of your Pilgrimage here on Earth For our worst part must rot before it rise vp to Immortality The thought of Death I confesse is terrible and hath perplexed many specially Great persons insomuch that Queene Elizabeth of famous Memory albeit in all other matters an incomparable religious Princesse and adorned with masculine Vertues yet She could not endure to heare of Old Age nor Death For when a Learned Bishop of our acquaintance had in a zealous Sermon admonished her to thinke on her last End by reason of her great Age which few Princes had attayned vnto and of the Climactericall yeare of her Life which hapned at that time She tooke it so impatiently that the Bishop for his good intentions was not only distasted by her but put for a time to some trouble Yet God who neuer forsakes them that quit themselues like Men in his Seruice did euer sithence vntill his Decease powre downe many Worldly Blessings vpon him so that I thinke few Bishops of this Kingdome left behind them to their Wiues and Children such faire Estates as be left vnto his Wife and Children The which questionlesse were conferred vppon him to let the Cowards and Claw-backes of the times vnderstand what a sweet smelling Sacrifice in his sacred Presence is Magnanimity grounded on Faith and piety as well appeares by those Martyres in Queene Maries dayes for whose glorious sakes the Eternall Maiesty at the intercession of those Martyres Generall his dearely beloued Sonne did by shortning of those Marian dayes restore that Reformed Religion to this Kingdome which hath chased hence those False Prophets who set to sale the Bodies and Soules of Men togither with the Rabblement of Idolaters Abbey-Lubbers Fayries and Hob-Goblins and doubtlesse will continue the same vntill the Worlds end Notwithstanding these our Present and last Conflicts with the Spirituall Dragon and with those Spirits which issued out of his mouth wherein we haue much a do to escape their Ambuscadoes Quirkes and socret Stratagems practised by our Schoole-men which are farre more dangerous then their open Violences being such as it is Written Able to deceiue the very Elect if it were possible But to returne where I haue digressed the Remembrance of Death will prepare vs for th' other World What can be b●tter for vs then to be loosed from the lumpish clog of Flesh and Blood which must not inherite Heauen before it bee purified as the Holiest and best Patriarkes were and to liue with Christ in perpetuall Ioyes Seeing that Death brings with it so great Happinesse I hope you will not be offended with me it by Calculating our Ancestors Yeares for these three last D●s●●n●s I seeme to put you in Minde that you ought not to expect much longer time then they enioyed Our great Grand father Hugh Vaughan Gentle-man Vsher to King Henry the 7th who is Famous in our English Chronicles for the Iustes in Richmond before the sayd King agaynst Sir Iames Parker about our Ancestors Armes and Scutcheons Where the sayd Sir Iames lost his life in the first Encounter Our sayd Great Grand-Father dyed before he was fifty yeares old Our Grand-father who built our House nay yours by Birth right called The Golden Groue dyed about the fiftieth sixth yeare of his Age. Our Father likewise about those yeares payd Nature her Debt Why then should we expect for a greater Lot We want not aboue three or foure yeares of theirs But suppose we should arriue to seauenty or eighty or by the helpe of this Dyet which I here discouer to the long Age of the Swethens it would but augment our sinnes and sorrows Therefore let vs liue mindfull of that which cannot be auoyded For which purpose a Pagan King vsed euery morning to haue a Dead mans Skull brought to remember him that he was a mortall Creature So in like manuer we see in our dayes many Persons wearing Rings with a Deathes Head engrauen in the seale Others with a Posie on the inside including the Remembrance of Death Memento mori But because this Subiect breeds sadnesse I haue added some more plausible passages to profit the Body aswell as the Minde Now hauing discharged the part of a Brother in this necessary point whereto all Adams Posterity are subiect Sooner or Later I will now shew wherefore I entituled this Diminutiue rapture The Newlanders Cure more for others satisfaction who know me not and yet may by our Free Charter of Election and the illumination of Gods working Spirit meete with some passage in this Cure to confirme them sure in their Christian Calling and perhaps mooue some to lend
