partiall conversion of men to God is but hatefull hypocrisy There are some men that take no heed what hapneth to others by bad conversation and therefore overthrow themselves in the same manner through the same fault not foreseeing dangers manifest The direction and correction of a fault ought to be in secret It must be strong evidence that will make a sinner convict himself Nature hath so many shifts to cosen it self in a spirituall verdict that unless it be taken in the manner it will hardly yield to a truth either she will deny the fact or the fault or the measure Henry the sixth in the tenth year of his Raign was Crowned the 17th day of December King of France in the City of Paris Our naturall courage cannot bear us out against spirituall objects There is nothing more easie then to be valiant when no peril appeareth but when evils assail us upon unequal tearms it is hard commendable not to be dismayed Much is in a mans courage and discreat carriage of himself All private considerations must be extinguished when the question is of the good of a mans Country The covetous man in all things doth affect secresie and propriety Govetousness and riot dissolve the bonds of all respect our will ever carrying us from our selves from all awefulness and fear of lawes covetousness and pride are impatient of loss Cruelty is seldom without avarice by which if it be not caused it causeth it In the 4. year of William the Conqueror he instituted the courts of Chancery and Exchequer and appointed the Jury of r2 men to go upon causes criminall and to deside controversies At the

Chancery and court of Request have power in criminall cases to give oathes to the Defendant Princes ears and eyes are in every place courts being full of spies and nothing is hid from emulation Courtcarriages are riddles which though seen cannot be resolved without exceeding patience and judging experience The Court is a common Inne for flatterers time-servers and polititions and the Courtiers life is a Gally-maufry of pride lust ambition fraud imposture dissimulation distraction and envy A common counsel in Henry the sixth his time at first in London consisted of 180 persons Counsel ought not to be held holly but secret also therefore the Alter of the God Consus who was God of counsels was hidden in the earth Counsel given shews what we should do and not what we can do Generall Councils may erre and have erred Against greif it is as hard to chuse the season to give counsel as to give it the season should be after the first disgestion of sorrow and before the last All councils us well in publique as private deliberations require a reposed spirit free from wrath and fear all perturbations or particular interest for as a troubled mind is more apt to erre then to advise justly and hath more need of proper medicines for it self then it hath in it self to apply any comfort to others and is fitter to receive then to give counsell from which as from a great and violent currant are carried al those errors and disorders which are brought upon mature deliberations the which have commonly long repentances and disasters but he that can restrain himself from being transported by intemperate appetites and can rule his passions and give a just rule to himself and to his desires doth give the best time to all deliberations by mitigating heat and fury so altereth all counsel from that nature which is received from an unquiet and troubled mind No wise men can hold good counsel disparaged by the means of the Author if we be glad to receive any treasure from a

the soul of man produce many inconveniencies but Drunkenness utterly subverteth the same and astonisheth the body The perpetual custom of Drinking grows by using it into a perpetual pleasure stirring up the desire of the palate which is ever afterwards either overflown or thirsty The Drunkards stile begins in lawlesness proceeds in unprofitableness ends in misery and all shuts up in the

York should be subject to the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury and that the Arch-Bishop of York with all the Bishops of his Province should come to such a place as the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury should appoint to hold a Counsell at It is no true Bishop that desireth rather to be Lordly himself then profitable to others Leo the fourth Pope of Rome made a decree that a Bishop should not be condemned but by 72. witnesses The good Bishops of Rome continued almost 300. years the first of them was named Limus Blood is hot sweet temperate a red humor prepared in the meseraick veins and made of the most temperate parts of the Chilus in the Liver whose office is to nourish the whole body to give it strength and colour being dispersed by the veins through every part of it and from it spirits are first begotten in the heart which afterwards by the Arteries are communicated to all the other parts The force and power which lyeth in the blood the spirits and in the whole body is that which causeth the diversity of passions by reason that the passible part growing out of the flesh as from a root doth bud and bring forth with it a quality proves semblable The bodies misgriefes proceed from the soul and if the mind be not first satisfied the body can never be cured The corruptable body suppresseth the soul and the earthly mansion keeps down the mind that is much occupied Mans soul though it be immortal dyeth a kind of death it is called immortall because it can never leave to be living and sensitive and the body is mortall because it may be destitute of life and left quite dead in in self but the death of the soul is when God leaveth it and the death of the body is when the soul leaveth it so that the death of both is when the soul being left of God leaveth the body Labienus

rare by how much nature hath more endeared them by so much are their quarrells more frequent and dangerous Butidius a man well qualified and if he had taken a right course a man likely to have come to honourable preferment over much haste pricked forwards and at the first went about to out-go his equalls then his Superiors and at last of all to fly above his own hopes which hath been the overthrow of good men who contemning that which by a little patience is had with security hasten to that which gotten before his time breedeth their ruine and destruction Buying and selling of men and women which was used in England untill the third year of Henry the first was then prohibited In the third year of Henry the first by a Synod holden at London it was decreed that all burialls should be in their own Parish because the Priest should lose his ●ees The care of burialls the pomp of funeralls and magnificent Tombs are rather solaces to the living then furtherances to the dead A Canon is that
