Mar quâ res omnes dirigit adducit ad suos fines T is a faculty of God whereby hee directs and reduces all things to his owne ends Trelcatius tells us Trel That Providence is an outward action of God whereby hee keepeth all and severall things that are done to that end which he hath determined according to the liberty of his will and that to the end he might in all and severall things bee glorified The efficient cause of this Providence or government is the same which is of creation sith one and the selfe same beginning is of both from and by which all things doe proceed and are conserved to wit God the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost The Father or the love and goodnesse of the Father is the first beginning cause the Sonne in that hee is the Wisedome and Word is the working cause the Holy Ghost in that he is the virtue and power of the Father and Sonne is the finishing cause Sicut Adam a nullo homine Evah ex solo homine Seth ex utroque ita Deus pater a nullo filius ex solo patre Spiritus Sanctus ex utroque Even as Adam was from none Eve from man alone and Seth from them both so God the Father is from none the Sonne from the Father alone and the Holy Ghost from them both Now the workes of God summarily are two That of the Creation that of the Redemption both these workes as in the totall they may appertaine to the Vnity of the Godhead so in their parts they may be referred to the three Persons That of the Creation in the Masse of the matter hee may bee in all his undertakings Magnanimus actu That British tongues may triumphantly say Charolus ille Magnus as in my Soveraignes cause I have plaid the Priest So let the British World bee my Clearkes and say Amen That I may also pray for them Otherwise I shall but curse that soule that will not say so But herein I am loth to divulge the utmost of my thoughts yet I feare that tongue will burne in unquenchable fire that dare presume to scandalize his Soveraigns name or detract from his worth And this dare I justifie For he cannot be a true servant to God that beares not a true heart to his King But mee thinkes I heare Blesensis say Ble. Pro regibus orare est nova traditio To pray for Kings is a new tradition I wonder hee or any dare broach such new Heresie since wee are commanded by S. Peter and S. Paul to pray for them which are in Authority especially for our Supreame Soveraigne Pro Rege quasi praecellenti When Abishai would have slaine Saul the mortall enemy of David David sayd to Abishai Destroy him not for who can stretch foorth his hand against the Lords Annointed and be guiltlesse It was King Iohns very case in the viewing the Castle of Rochester as is to bee seene in our History And thus much for the Reciprocall Duties betwixt Kings and their Subjects The mutuall Duties betweene Parents and their Children CAP. X. THE Children saith S. Paul are not for the Parents but the Parents for the children Begin we therefore with their Office and Duty since theirs is the Precedency When the Childe is borne let not the Mother though good in disposition nurse any unlesse she nurse all I am not against the generall Opinion as if it were not meete for a Mother to nurse her owne Childe Yet this I conceive that if she should nurse one and refuse another she should with much partiality incline to one rather then another For Womens affections are many times transported beyond Judgement And let the Fathers intentions bee never so upright yet the Mothers survivorship may finde out new inventions to performe her Naturall Affections Choose if you be droven to a choice for your Nurse a Woman Witty Handsome and if you can having the two former qualities Honest For that Childe that receiveth nutriment from his Foster Mother will goe neere to Sympathize with her in condition And now the Horne-booke appeares If thou hast Daughters Musicke Dancing Needle-working may serve turne to keepe them from Idlenesse They are hardly got and quickly lost To make them schollers were frivolous it being by some observed That Learning in a Woman is like a Sunne-diall in a Grave And we have a Caveat given us from our late Solomon in his Proverbs King Iames It hath like operation to make Women learned as to make Foxes tame which only teacheth them to steale more cunningly The possibility is not equall for where it doth one good it doth twenty harme True it is divers Women have beene very well learned I have read that Zenobia Queene of the Palmerians being skilfull in the Greeke Latine Aegyptian tongues taught them to her two sons and wrote an Epitome of the Easterne parts Cornelia taught her two sonnes the Gracchi the Latine tongue And Aretia taught her son Aristippus philosophy but he proved a Sycophantical Philosopher Indeed knowledge in a Woman commonly purchaseth more Inconvenience then profit Exempli gratia A Romane and a Grecian Embassadour meeting in the Senate of the Rhodians the Grecian spake these words True it is Romane you are bold in Armes but unskilfull in Sciences for the Women of Greece are more skilfull in Learning then the Men of Rome in Weapons These words caused Warre in Sicily At last the Rhodians perswaded
