Heauen or that shall descend into Hell no I will bryng thée into an other place euen into thy selfe thou shalt néede no long voyage or Ulisses trauailes onely consider with good aduisement those thynges that are within thée so shalt thou easely perceaue that thou dayly cariest a world about thée in thy Hart. For what is Man els than a certaine world in respect of his bignesse smale but if thou regard his maruelous workemanship valor personage and the image of GOD according whereunto he was made he is in many respects of greater estimation and excellencie than this visible world the most precious thinges whereof are but trifles too the surpassing dignitie of the other which is inuisible Wilt thou haue a sight of the wonderfull workmanship and riches of this thy inuisible world The beholdyng of this Sunne this light this life doth I know greatly please thine eyes but how much superexcellent is the sunne within thy body the sincere Eye of the Minde illuminated with the light of JESUS CHRIST the brightnesse wherof cleareth and cheareth the whole mynde of Man Glytering gold plentie of siluer great landes and rich possessiōs delight thée but how more brighter shineth the most precious pearle of a feruent Fayth sought in the fruitfull and most pleasaunt fieldes of the Euangelistes which when thou hast founde thou sellest all other things setting them at naught for desire of this The visible worlde hath his Peace Tranquillitie Libertie neither doth this world also want his Peace and Libertie yea and it so wanteth them not that if wée can distinguish truth from falshood they are no where els to be foūd but here Thou callest that Peace when there is no priuie grudge or malice betwene thée and thy neighbor but how more excellent a Peace is a true hart a clear conscience before GOD and a quiet mynde beyng at vnitie with it selfe and with GOD Moreouer thou makest much of Libertie whiche is but fréedome from the bondage of men but rather estéeme of that Libertie when as neither the violence of DEATH nor the power of SYNNE nor the tyranny of SATHAN when as neither the gates of HELL nor the frowardnesse of Fortune nor the crueltie of Enemies finally that I may yet speake more confidently in CHRIST whē as neither the very wrath and curse of GOD nor the obligatorie sentence of the LAW nor thinges to come nor heigth nor depth nor the whole Hoast of Heauen haue any Law or power agaynst thée But thou art a Courtier perhaps and thou canst not be without company or resort of men thine old mates and fellowes sporte play riot idlenes and by your leaue chambering is thy repast thou déemest it a Gentlemans lyfe to spend whole dayes and yeares in dauncing drincking dicing hunting in foolish pastimes and more foolish talke and for such a yoncker as thou art to betake himselfe to Prayer thou takest him for a doting and frensie foole Thou thinkest it an honorable thing to be conuersaunt among great Personages thou féedest thy fancie with an Italian grace with the Spanishe fashion and the French curtesie very seruiceable iu spéech à vostre commaundement Monsieur then if hapely it chaunce that thou art in very good place about thy Prince or wear his coate or be often in his presence or if by some meanes thou créepest into his fauor and art knowen of him and spoken too with affabilitie and receiuest some commoditie at his handes for this is the ende of Courtly Philosophers then thou persuadest thy selfe that thou art in most perfect and blessed ioy To be short discouer this thy whole world vnto vs 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an Anathomy therof open all the veynes of all the vayne pleasures and delightes therof paint them out to the purpose amplifie them asmuch as thou list and imagine that all the felicities of the worlde did light together vpon one Polycrates namely the fauor of the Prince the pleasures of the Court Degrées of Honor Nobtlitie of byrth varietie of delightes sumptuous buildings frendes Gold Precions stones farmes Clients the fauor of the Cominaltie the contemplation of this visible light gaming mirth victories Triumphes or whatsoeuer els of like kinde of trash Let vs now lay together and compare the benefites of the inuisible world whiche make thy soule within thée most happy and blessed And that I may beginne with that which is most worthely of greatest estimation namely the Fauor of GOD the souereigne PRINCE of all Princes let vs cal to minde the singular Graces springing and Procéedyng hereof as a good Conscience Peace Life eternall Saluation Ioye in the HOLY GHOST Patience of Mynde against al Aduersity Victory ouer Death Remission of SINNE Fayth the subuerter of SATHANS Kyngdome a Confident hart voyde of all feare Contempt of

blessednes and felicitie truly they which gape after far greater aboundance than is sufficient and necessarie for sustenaunce of their lyfe being seduced and bewitched with a preposterous error and false opinion doe hunt after and finde shadowes for true thynges transitorte wealth for euerla sting ioy and heape vp coales in stead of rich treasure For true Happines is no where to be found but in

Goe foreward now and embrace this present worlde whiche thou hast in such great admiration and addict thy selfe asmuch as thou list soo the seruice of temporall Princes I know that Christian Religion and true Discipline doth geue vnto Princes their due honor and obedience neither do I enuie or grutch thereat nay rather I wish the greater encrease thereof so that it be iust lawfull and right No man more truly honoreth Superior Powers than he which doth honor them in the LORD But if the diuine Law of GOD by authoritie admit so much reuerēce and worship to be geuē to the
