a little speake of his vilenes which is the iust cause of hi● indignitie Man being at the first created so pure within and perfect without that there was no creature so pleased God hauing made all creatures to please man man onely to please himselfe oh how soon● began the in●ection of corruption to enter into this excell●nt matter when the subtiltie of the Serpent began so closely to spet his poyson that the venome was not felt till it came to the heart and so ranne to the very soule when ●it proud of vnderstanding vnthankful for his knowledge in séeking more then néedfull lost that was necessarie and by whom was this bane brought him but by her that came out of him euen a part of himselfe the R●●me of his whole selfe and which is most to be lamented a piece so neare his heart should béé the hurt of his owne soule ● oh what indignitie can there be more in wit to proue it more truly ●olly then like Aesops dogge to loose a bone for a shadow or worse comfort for sorrow and what more indignitie to the nature of man then to be so vntha●kfull to his maker to make no more regard of his commaund then hauing b●t one thing forbidden and with a penaltie of offence yet would presume to aduenture that ill that might be the l●sse of all his good Oh vnwise vnthankfulnesse the first ground of his vnha●pinesse and first note of his vnworthin●sse Oh most vnhappinesse of all other that he who was made of loue should so be made a subie●● of hate and oh most vnworthy of all creatures to be honoured that was so vngratefull to his most honorable Creator and note now how by one sinne he lost all his honors he lost the perfection that he liued in before this his desert of death his perfection of that loue which let him lack nothing while he loued by tasting the forbidden fruit he swallowed the poyson of presumption and by the Angell was driuen out of Paradise Here was two honors lost the Image was now defaced the creature of his place dispossessed and from his pleasures banished for whose sin the earth that before was blessed was now accursed oh two plaine a note of his Indignitie when for his vnworthinesse the earth was cursed with barrennes he that was only framed ●y the loue of God should now flie from the voice of God Now the third honor where he before had the seruice of all earthly creatures he now w●s faine to labor with thos● creatures and in seeing their obedience to his wil sorow in shame to thinke of his owne disobedience to his ma●●ter Now to the last honor his companion his wife that woman that part of himselfe which in loue might haue beene his comfort by want of loue through the poyson of pride wrought his vtter dishonor where the shame of his nakednesse was too true a note of his wickednesse too plaine a proofe of his vnworthines Thus lost the first man through pride the whole honor of his first happines Now to enter into further parts of dishonor what wickednes was in Cham to vncouer the nakednes of his fa●h●r which proued vnworthines to be a son that would be the shame of his father what dishonor was in Cain who slew h●s brother Abel how vnworthy was he to be a brother that sought the death of his dearest nea●est bloo● what Indignitie of a Crowne shewed Pharaoh when in the swelling pride of his power he would oppose himselfe against the 〈◊〉 o● Kings How vnworthy was he to be a king on the earth that proued such a rebell vnto the king of ●ea●en how dishonorable were So●ome and Gomorrah who with the fi●●h of their concupis●ence would haue pr●●sed vpon the Angelles what Indignitie was in those Princes that ston●s the Prophets the Embassadors of heauens Emperor what Indignitie was in Iudas to b●tray his m●ister Christ Iesus was he worthy to be a seruant that would be a villaine to such ● maister and what Indignitie was in all the Iewes that sought ●he death of the sonne of God Tedious it were to runne ou●● all the examples of the Indignitie in man which in the sacred word of truth are set downe where ye may plainly discouer all the due causes both of mans honour and dishonour but leauing that true discourse for all gratious eyes to looke on let me a litle lower discend into reasons daily obseruation What dishonor it is to a King to be vngratious to his subiect what dishonour in a subiect to be disloy●ll to his Prince what Indignitie it is to Counsellour to be either f●i●hlesse to his King or carelesse of his commaund what a dishonor t is to a souldier to betray his trust to an enemy how vnworthy is that Lawier that pleades against conscience for coyne how vnworthy is that Marchant that plaies ●anquerou● without néed how vngratious is that Farmer that starues the poore people and féeds the Rats with his corne how vnhonest is that labourer who will not worke for his wages and how base a villaine is that begger that makes an art of his rogery let the agréeued confesse I would it were not to be considered Let me looke f●rther into other proofes of the Indignitie of man where the sonne is ●ike of the father the sister of the brother the seruant of the maister the wife of the husband and the subiect of the Prince where the sonne is vnnaturall the sister is vnkinde the seruant is vntrue the wife is vnhonest and the subiect is vnfaithfull what Indignities are these to proue the disgratious nature of man Againe where the wrath of the mightie is more fierce then the Lion and the pride of the ambitiou● flies higher then the Eagle and the gréedinesse of the couetous swallowes more then the Whale oh how great are these Indignities apparant yea in those in whom they are most to be lamented What Crocodile so dangerous as the tongue of a Parasite and what Cockatrice so venemous as the eye of a leaud womon and what Indignitie it is to a scholler that should be the minister of truth to couer craft with eloquence and what ignominy to beautie that is an enemy to Vertue let the deceiued confesse and abusers amend In summe of what estate can that man or woman be that some way shews not some such part of Indignity a● speakes not something in their dishonor B●t to be short the chiefe cause of all the Indignitie that I finde in man groweth either through impatience in the proud pride in the mighti● disobedience in the subiect or vnthankfulnesse in the poore Learn then the honour of humilitie the vertue of patience the grace of obedience and the blessing of thankfulnesse in which onely and God● mercie I finde lies mans all and onely truest happine●●e and his honours most apparant worthinesse And therefore leaue to make comparisons betwixt either beast fowle or fish and man knowing the excellencie of his
