so if thou giuest place vnto mourning it is not so easily expelled idem As light is comfortable to heauy hearts so are merry thoughts to mourners idem As a diseased Phisitian is not to be praised so neither a comfortlesse mourner The night followeth the day and the day the night sommer followeth winter winter sommer so mourning followeth mirth and mirth mourning Husbandmen do not weepe when they bury their corne in the ground because they expect a plentifull haruest so wee should not immoderatly mourne lament when we leaue our friends in the graue because we looke for a ioyfull resurrection Chriso hom 41. in 1. Cor. As after great and vehement showers commeth a pure and cleare ayre so after a masse of mourning and flouds of teares commeth the serenitie and tranquillitie of minde Chrysost hom 6. in Mat. As by water and the spirit so againe by teares and confession wee are purged so that wee doe it not for ostentation ibidem As rain doth moisten the earth so teares do water the soule Idem hom 4. de poenit As he that is cōdemned by secular iudgement cares not for any faire sights or threatricall shewes so hee that mourneth truly careth not for pampring his bellie Climacus de discretione gradu 26. When Roses are planted nothing is seen but thornes afterwards springeth the faire and louely fruit so they that sow in teares shall reape in ioy Isidorus Clarius oratione octaua tomi tertu In Gallia there is a very cold fountaine which as Fulgosus testifieth with the water doth send forth flames of fire so a true Christian with religious teares ought to streame forth the flames of diuine charitie Hector Pintus in cap. 40. Ezech. Plinie writeth that the teares of Vine-braunches doe cure the leprosie so the teares of those Vine-branches which are grafted into the true Vine doe cure the leprosie of sinne Saint Augustine witnesseth that the Eagle feeling his wings heauie plungeth them in a fountaine and so renueth his strength so a Christian feeling the heauie burthen of his sinnes batheth himselfe in a fountain of teares and so washing off the olde man which is the bodie of sinne is made young againe and lustie as an Eagle As Peters fayth was so great that hee lept into a sea of waters to come to Christ so his repentance was so great that he lept into a sea of teares when hee went from Christ As the Oliue tree is most aboundant in fruit when it distilleth so a Christian is most plentifull and powerfull in prayer when he weepeth As Mustard-seede hath his name in Greeke because it makes the eyes weepe so hee that in prayer hath fayth as a graine of Mustard-seed hath such a fayth as makes his eyes weepe As Elizaeus did cast salt into the waters of Iericho to make them sweete so must we salt and season our prayers with teares to make them sauourie and delightsome to God Maners HE that with contrarie windes is tossed hither and thither neither compasseth what he intended he doth not saile much but is tossed much so hee that hath long liued and hath not liued well hee hath not long liued but hath beene long Seneca As the litle Bee seasing vpon al flowers bringeth that home which is profitable so a vertuous man doth extract from euerie place that which may make for the bettering of his life Plut. As the Ieat draweth a straw vnto it as the Load-stone draweth iron the Chrysocolla golde so euery man associateth that man vnto himselfe who is of like conditions and maners As Caeneus was made a man of a woman so some ill conditioned become better manered Plut. Salt waters that haue raine fal into them become sweeter then others so they are woont to be better whom the influence of the diuine grace doth change from a contrarie liuing as Paul was Nature AS of the same Clay the shape of this beast and that beast is formed which beeing dissolued is fit for some other figure so Nature of the same matter dooth produce one generation which beeing extinct shee propagateth of it others and others Plut. As Nilus bringeth forth holsome fishes and fruitfull plantes so it engendreth the Crocodile and the Aspe so Nature as shee is fruitfull in good things so she bringeth forth something hurtfull idem An Oxe is fit for the plough a horse for the saddle and a dog for hunting as sayth Pindarus so euery man ought to applie himselfe to that maner of liuing which nature hath disposed him vnto idem Moles haue their sight taken from them but they haue their hearing well so where Nature hath denied the valour of bodie there she commonly bestoweth the vigor of minde Plin. lib. 10. cap. 69. As he that makes a ship or an house can easily vnmake them againe so that Nature can best dissolue a man that framed him Cicero de Senectute As no honest man taketh it in ill part that a due debt is demaunded of him or a thing that was left with him so when Nature requireth againe what is her owne wee ought not to spurne agaynst her but willinglie yeelde vnto necessitie Philo lib. de Abrahamo It is naturall for the Vine to spreade the more you seeke by Arte to alter it the more in the ende you shall augment it it is proper for the Palme tree to mount the heauyer you loade it the higher it sprowteth though yron bee made soft with fire it returneth to his hardnesse though the Falcon bee reclaimed to the fist shee retyreth to her haggardnesse the Whelpe of a Mastiffe will neuer bee taught to retriue the Partridge so where the excellencie of Nature dooth beare sway it is a very hard thing or altogither impossible to alter it The sillie Mouse will by no maner of meanes bee camed the subtle Foxe may well bee beaten but neuer broken from stealing his pray if you pownde spices they smell the sweeter season the wood neuer so well the Wine will taste of the Caske plant and translate the Crabtree where and whensoeuer it please you and it will neuer beare sweete Apple so where the force of Nature keepeth possession it is hard to displace it Lily As the stone Abeston being once made hot will neuer bee made colde and as fire cannot bee forced downward so Nature will haue course after kinde As the Aethiope cannot chaunge his skinne nor the Leopard alter his hewe and as it is not possible to gather Grapes of Thornes or Figges of Thistles so it is to no purpose to force any thing to striue against Nature As in tilling of the grounde and husbandrie there is first chosen a firtile soile then a cunning sower then good seede euen so we must compare Nature to the fat earth the expert husbandman to the Schoolemaister the faculties and sciences to the pure seedes As the fertill soyle if it be neuer tilled doth waxe barren so that which is most noble by nature is made most vile by negligence As
