instructions of the liuing When in this present spectacle wee may sensibly beholde that life is so vncertaine that we may say with Plinie Whereas there be in men innumerable signes of death there is no assured signe of safetie and of securitie in the yongest or the strongest let vs remember the counsell of our Master and Sauiour Wake therefore for yee know not what houre your master will come either by death or by the last and generall iudgement Let vs be like the wise virgins euer readie with oile in our lamps the oile of faith and good life Let vs say to our selues as God sayd to Hezechiah Put thine house in an order for thou shalt die and not liue Let vs speake thus to our soules Let vs not weaue the spiders-web that is bestow all our labour vpon that which is but vaine but weake and of no profit Let vs not fasten our selues to this transitorie world making that to be our ioy our comfort and delight but let our minde be setled on some thing of higher nature Let vs daily pray to God as Moses sometimes prayed Teach vs so to number our daies that we may apply our hearts vnto wisdome which must be the wisdome spirituall celestiall and eternall And this is so much the rather to be desired in this life because as we reade in Salomon if the tree doe fall toward the South or toward the North in the place that the tree falleth there it shall be that is as Olympiodorus and Saint Bernard do expound it as a man doth die either in the fauour or the disfauour of God so he must remaine immutabiliter irretractabiliter without changing or recalling Therefore men while they doe liue should cary themselues warily as being euer assured that they are in the eye of God and that he is among them in their greatest consultations and most honourable assemblies God standeth sayth Dauid in the Congregation of Princes he is a Iudge among Gods A Iudge to see and examine them a Iudge to strike and call vnto him whom and when it pleaseth him Let him euer be before our eyes that when he shall send for vs we may appeare with readinesse with alacritie and with confidence before the Throne of his Grace Which God the Father grant vs for his Sonne Christ Iesus his sake to both whom with the Holy Ghost be laud and praise and glorie now and euermore Amen TO THE READER BEcause there is mention made in this Sermon of a Ring sent vnto that Honorable person by his most sacred Maiestie the humble acceptance whereof is set downe with so gratefull remembrance of his dutie and deuotion to his Highnesse and because the words otherwise imply a great deale of obseruable matter I haue thought it not amisse to offer them to more publike view as they are deliuered by his Lordship in his last will which is as followeth ALso I giue will and bequeath vnto my sayd wel-beloued sonne ROBERT Lord BVCKHVRST after my decease for and during his life onely out of those Iewels of Golde Pearle and Precious stone which I keepe and reserue as Iewels for my selfe the sole vse and occupation only of one Ring of Golde enameled blacke and set round ouer all the whole Ring with Diamonds to the number of twentie whereof fiue Diamonds being placed in the vppermost part of the said Ring do represent the fashion of a Crosse and the other fifteene are set round and ouer all the sayd Ring And after the decease of my said sonne BVCKHVRST then I giue will and bequeath the like sole vse and occupation only of the said Ring vnto my Nephew RICHARD SACKVILLE his eldest sonne for and during his life only And after his decease then vnto the next heire male begotten of the bodie of the sayd RICHARD SACKVILLE my Nephew for and during his life only And so from heire male to heire male of the SACKVILLS after the decease of euery of them seuerally and successiuely for and during the life and liues only of euery such heire male seuerally and successiuely charging and earnestly requiring all and euery of my said heire males before specified euen as they regard the last request of him by whose great trauell care and industrie if the Diuine prouidence of God that hath vouchsafed to giue it shall so please to continue it they are like to receiue the addition and aduancement of so great honor possessions and patrimonie that although percase in this strict course of the common lawes of this Realme the Entaile of goods and chattels may hardly stand vpright that yet for the preseruation and continuance of this gift of mine intended by mee to remaine as an heire-lome to the house and familie of the SACKVILLS so long as almightie God according to the effects of his former goodnesse vnto that house by the continuance thereof during the space of so many hundred yeeres past shall please to vpholde the same they and euery of them will forbeare in any sort to oppugne it or to bring it in question or to brandle and controuert the will of their so well deseruing Ancestour and specially in a matter so honest reasonable fit and conuenient as this is but rather with all willing readie and contented mindes to suffer the same to passe as an heire-lome from heire male to heire male according to the true intent and meaning of this my last will and Testament in that behalfe Which said Ring set all ouer with twentie Diamonds as is aforesaid I desire charge my said sonne BVCKHVRST vpon my blessing and in like sort all other the heires male whom God shall vouchsafe from age to age to raise vnto my house and familie and vnto whom if the Highest so please my heartie desire and meaning is the said Ring set with twenty Diamonds as is aforesaid may lineally and successiuely descend and come for euer namely that with all prouident care and heedfull circumspection they will safely keepe retaine and preserue the said Ring whensoeuer and as often as he shall come to their hands and possession euen as one of the greatest gifts and iewels which in true estimation all circumstances considered I haue to leaue vnto them And to the intent they may know how iust and great cause both they and I haue to holde the said Ring in so high esteeme it is most requisite that I doe heere set downe the whole course and circumstance how and from whom the said Ring did come to my possession which was thus In the beginning of the moneth of Iune 1607 this Ring thus set with twentie Diamonds as is aforesaid was sent vnto me from my most gracious Souereigne King Iames by that honorable personage the Lord Hay one of the Gentlemen of his Highnesse Bed-chamber the Court then being at Whitehall in London and I at that time remaining at Horsley house in Surrey twentie miles from London where I lay in such extremitie
