reported that the inuenter of Magicke Zeorastres a King of Bactria was burned to death by the diuel And I pray you what got Saul by his witch-seeking Was not his destructiō told him which accordingly came to passe And Buchanan telles vs how Naxlicus a Scotish King was slaine euen by the man whom hee had sent vnto a witch to inquire of the successe of his affaires and of the length of his life the witch hauing afore told the fellow that hee was the man that should slay him By all which we plainely see that God is offended with these diuellish arts and all that vse them How is it then to be lamented that in this cleare light of the Gospell there should be found amongst vs to the dishonour of God and of his Religion and the infamie of our Nation men that haue yeelded themselues disciples Students and practicioners in these hollish arts which Saint Iohn calleth the deepe things of Satan Reuel 1. 24. and haue fearefully prostituted themselues to become base instruments and vassals to act and accomplish the hests and commands of wicked ones vpon whom though the iustice of the State hath taken hold as one W●ston and Franklin and hath made them publique spectacles of wrath to the terror of others yet considering the open signes of their true penitencie we are to hope charitably of them and to say of them as S. Paul doth in another case 1. Cor. 5. 5. that they were deliuered ouer vnto death to the destruction of the flesh that their spirit might bee saued in the day of the Lord Iesus And I desire all men by the mercies of God to abhorre and forsake all such vngodlinesse and to deucte themselues vnto God alone their Maker and Redeemer studying to serue him in righteousnesse and holines all the daies of their life For obedience is better then sacrifice and to hearken then a the fat of Rammes And the truth is that all the plagues and iudgements that euer came vpon the children of Israel light vpon them for their rebellion against God and their disobedience to his word And questionlesse it is come to passe by the iust iudgement of God that these offenders we haue spoken of and haue lately seene cut of were giuen ouer of God and left vnto themselues because they listened not vnto him but were disobedient vnto his word O this disobedience it is as the sinne of Witchcraft and Idolatrie it is in truth the mother and nurse of all iniquitie God hath two sorts of iudgements iudgements for men to keepe and iudgements for men to beare and God hath two sorts of Ministers Ministers of his Word and Ministers of his Sword now it is iust with God that they which will not keepe his iudgements should vndergo his iudgements and that they that wil not be reformed by his word should be punished and cut off with the sword and that such as regard not the power and doctrine of Ministers should feele to their smart the authoritie and force of Magistrates THe great God of heauen and earth euen the Father of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ be mercifull vnto vs and forgiue vs our sinnes all our abominable and crying offences keepe backe and remoue his iudgements from vs continue his blessings amongst vs preserue and prosper our noble King and all his kingdomes detect and bring vnder all his enemies and grant vs truth and peace and loue through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen Trin-vni Deo Gloria THE PICTVR OF A PICTVR OR THE CHARACTER of a Painted woman SHe is a creature that had need to be twice defined for she is not that she seemes And though shee bee the creature of God as she is a woman yet is she her owne creatrisse as a picture Indeed a plaine woman is but halfe a painted woman who is both a substantiue and an adiectiue and yet not of the neuter gender but a feminine as well consorting with a masculiue as Iuie with an Ash She loues grace so well that she will rather die then lacke it There is no truth with her to fauour no blessing to beautie no conscience to contentment A good face is her god and her cheeke well died is the idoll she doth so much adore Too much loue of beautie hath wrought her to loue painting and her loue of painting hath transformed her into a picture Now her thoughts affections talke studie worke labour and her very dreames are on it Yet all this makes her but a cynamon tree whose barke is better then her bodie or a peece of guilded copper offered for current gold She loues a true looking-glasse but to commend age wants and wrinkles because otherwise she cannot see to lay her falshood right Her body is I weene of Gods making and yet it is a question for many parts thereof she made her selfe View her well and you'ill say her beautie 's such as if shee had bought it with her pennie And to please her in euery of her toies would make her maide runne besides her wits if she had any Shee 's euer amending as a begger 's a peecing yet is she for all that no good penitent For she loues not weeping Teares and mourning would marre her making and she spends more time in powdring pranking and painting then in praying Shee 's more in her oyntments a great deale then in her orizons Her religion is not to liue wel but die well Her pietie is not to pray well but to paint well She loues confections better a great deale then confessions and delights in facing and feasting more then fasting Religion is not in so great request with her as riches nor wealth so much as worship She neuer chides so heartilie as when her box is to seeke her powder 's spilt or her clothes ill set on A good Bed-friend shee 's commonly delighting in sheetes more then in shooes making long nights and short daies All her infections are but to gaine affections for she had rather die then liue not please Her lips she laies with so fresh a red as if she sang Iohn come kisse me now Yet it 's not out of loue excepting self-loue that she so seekes to please but for loue nor from honesty but for honor t is not piety but praise that spurres her She studies to please others but because she wold not be displeas'd her self And so she may fulfil her own fancy she cares not who els she doth befoole A name she preferres to nature and makes more account of fame then faith And though shee do affect singularity yet she loues plurality of faces She is nothing like her self saue in this that she is not like her self She sildō goes without a paire of faces and she s furnisht with stuffe to make more if need be She saies a good archer must haue 2. strings to his bow but she hath hers bent both at once yet you must not say she weares 2. faces vnder one hood for that she

false face a true falshood not a true face Illa pictura saith S. Ambrose That picture or painting is of corruption and not comely that painting is deceitfull and not of simplicitie that painting lasteth but a while it is wiped off either with raine or sweat that painting deceiueth and beguileth that it can neither please him whom thou desirest to please who perceiueth this pleasing beauty to be none of thine but borrowed and thou doest also displease thy maker who seeth his worke to be defaced Or is this painting venerable or venerous and abominable rather Do men of worth and iudgement respect and fauour it as a thing honest and worthy to be esteemed Did euer Patriarke Prophet Apostle or Father of the Church approue it Hath it not beene euer scorned of sage and graue men A painted face is not much vnlike an Idoll it is not that it would be taken for and they that make it are like vnto it and so are all they that doe delight therein and worship it Shall we say the painting of haire or face is iust Doth the law of God require or fauour it Or doth reason vncorrupted teach it Or haue the lawes of any wise and vnderstanding heads endured or enioyned it Or rather is it not altogether iniurious Sure there is a wrong done to God whose workmanship they would seeme to mend being discontented with it S. Hierome saith Haec ad speculum pingitur c. Shee paints her selfe by a glasse and to the contumely of her Creator laboureth to be fayrer then shee was borne And in an Epistle to Laeta concerning the institution of her Daughter where hee relateth a storie of a certaine woman grieuously smitten for painting of her daughter he calleth those that doe such things violaters of the Temple of Christ Saint Origen likewise taxeth painted women by sundry places of Scripture amongst other things for dawbing their liuing face with dead colours and affirmeth that they doe these things in contumeliam Creatoris to the disgrace of their Creator Saint Ambrose also thus writeth to the same effect Thou art painted O man and painted of the Lord thy God Thou hast a good Artizan and Painter doe not deface that good picture non fuco sed veritate fulgentem shining not with deceitfull stuffe but but with true colours O woman thou defacest the picture if thou dawbest thy countenance with materiall whitenesse or a borrowed red Tell me if after one workman hath done thou vsest the helpe of another to ouer-lay the worke of the former with his new deuises doth he not take it in ill part who sees his worke to be disguised Doe not take away Gods picturing and assume the picture of an harlot because it is written Shall I take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot God forbid If any men adulterate the worke of God he committeth a grieuous offence For it is an hainous crime to thinke that man can paint thee better then God It is a grieuous thing that God should say of thee I see not the image I see not the countenance which my selfe haue formed I reiect that which is not mine Seeke him that hath painted thee deale with him take grace of him to whom thou hast giuen a reward What answere wilt thou make him Of the same minde also is Tertuilian who saith that they sinne against the Lord which be spot their cheekes with red colours and die their eyes The workmanship of God surely doth displease them They blame and finde fault with the worke-maister of all things in themselues For they reprehend him because they mend his worke because they put vnto it taking these additions from the aduersarie Craftes-man that is the diuell To all these auncient Doctors of the Church I will adde the iudgement of a moderne Writer by name Danaeus who saith that fucus faciei the painting of the face is a deforming of the very worke in vs and damnable God then is iniured by this kinde of painting now let vs see if man also be not wronged by it Doubtlesse these Painters are iniurious to themselues and others Saint Ambrose who tearmes these deuises torments rather then ornaments thus somewhere writeth Whiles she studies to please another shee displeases her selfe O woman what truer Iudge of thy deformity doe wee require then thy selfe who fearest to be seene If thou beest faire why art thou hidden Ifill-fauoured why doest thou counterfet beauty hauing no regard of thine owne conscience nor of another bodies errour For he loues another and thou wouldst please another And thou wilt be angry if he should loue another who yet doth learne by thee to commit adulterie Mala magistraes iniuriae tuae Thou art an euill teacher of thine owne wrong It is iniustice with saigned shewes to endeauour to cousin others labouring to make them thinke they be that they are not S. Austine doth not sticke to say it is vicious And if it be not iust to deceiue men with counterfet wares much lesse lawfull is it to deceiue them with a disguised countenance Besides this borrowed beautie doth sometimes steale away the praise from that that is naturall Yea and because this euill craft is so much in vse it comes to passe sometimes that they that vse it not are suspected and said to meddle with it And whereas euery one should be carefull of their name they doe much wrong themselues herein that vse such Arts causing thereby their modestie humility wisedome and continencie to bee called into question and suspected And what wrong doe they to themselues in prouoking God against them to punish them for their pride and vanity Sir Thomas More one not meanely learned was wont to say of such that there were very many which purchased hell vnto themselues in this life with that labour with the one halfe whereof they might haue gayned heauen Clemens Alexandrinus saith They are not once but thrice worthy to perish which dawbe their browes and weare their chcekes with their painted stuffe Saint Cyprian hath a notable speech full of sting and terror where hee thus writeth If some cunning Painter should set foorth the countenāce shape of a woman hauing ended his worke another should take vpon him as being more skilfull to reforme and mend it the first workeman might iustly seeme to be wronged and offended And dost thou thinke O woman to scape vnpunished presuming with the like audacious rashnesse to offend God Doth sinceritie and trueth continue when those things that are sincere are polluted with counterfeit colours and those things which are true are changed into falshood with deceitfull trickes The Lord doth say Thou art not able to make one haire white or blacke and thou to put downe his saying wouldst thou be stronger By audacious iudeauour and sacrilegious contempt thou colourest thine haires with an ill presage of future things thou beginst with flaming haire
