love the Goods of this World are well ordered and by Love the Goods of this World are contemned and by Love the secrets of God are revealed Saint John saith That God is Love or Charity whereby no doubt he meaneth the Father the Son and the holy Ghost the three persons in Trinity God the Father is Charity God the Son is Charity and God the holy Ghost is charity This Love or Charity requireth in the same such likely things namely love and charity by the which as by some spiritual affinity thou art joyned unto God which Love also boldly commeth unto God and familiarly speaketh unto him without any doubt or fear He that loveth not shall lose his Life but He that loveth alwayes lifteth his eyes to God whom be loveth whom he desireth on whom he museth in whom he is refreshed and by whom he is preserved such a debour and religious soul doth so sing so say read so dispose all his business and so circumspectly foreseeth all things as if God were ever present with Him as doubtless in spirit he is The man in whose soul the love of God is lodged so prayeth as if God were personally present with Him The Love of Charity awaketh the soul when she is asleep it puts him in mind of His Salvation it softneth and moysteneth the Heart Charity or Love setteth the cold Heart on fire Love maketh the froward soul gentle Love chaseth away sin Love keepeth the affections of the flesh and blood under Love amendeth Iewd Mens manners Love reneweth the Spirit Love bridleth the light motions of wanton youth all this worketh Love or Charity where she is present Contrariwise where Love or Charity is absent there the Soul doth Languish and waxeth cold even as a Caldron of water doth when the fire is taken from under it and raked abroad Charity is the only thing whereby the soul boldly approacheth unto End constantly cleaveth unto him and familiarly speaketh unto him The Soul that loveth God cannot but think and talk of God insomuch that it hateth all ungodly things Who so will know God must love God the more that one loves God the more be growes in the knowledge of God To read to write and to study of God yieldeth no true knowledge of God without Love In vian do we read in Vain do we talli in Vain do we preach in Vain do we pray to God if we do not love God the love of God ingendreth the love of thine own Soul and maketh it attentive alwayes to God God loves to be loved again and when he loveth he requireth nothing but love happy therefore is he that loveth God The Soul which loveth God rejecteth his own effections being earnestly given to Gods love The Soul that loveth hath no fear the soul that loveth not is ever in fear The Soul that loveth is carryed by promises and drawn by desires unto Heaven the soul that hath in it the presence of Gods love is tickled with joy and with ravishing leapeth up to Heaven having by coutemplation exceeding great joyfulness Love breeds familiarity with God familiarity breeds boldness with God boldness breeds the taste of God and Taste breedeth an hunger after God If I should declare all the excellency of Love or Charity the time would fail me and mine Ability in that behalfe would not suffice But let this stand for a conclusion that the Soul which is touched with the love of God cannot desire any thing contrary to God but ever after it hath received any taste of Sin it cryeth out and saith with the Prophet Psal 14. O Lord God like as the Hart desireth the Fountains of water even so long I after thee Well then Sir Knight lift up thy Soul and remember the great Love and Charity of God and his manisold benefits bestowed upon thee that by them thy Heart being enlightned thou maist encrease and go ●or● and day by day in doing good works to the glorifying of God 〈◊〉 delighteth in the same according as it is said Let your light so shine before men that they seeing your good works may glorisie God in Heaven Thus much touching these three spiritual Vertues now come we to the four morall Vertues CAP. VII The description of the four moral Vertues Prudence Justice Fortitude and Temperance By these sour Marral Vertues Man liveth orderly in this martalise Saint Hierom saith that the Christian man by these 〈◊〉 liveth well in this mortality and by them after death cometh to everlasting Life Prudence knoweth the good we should do and evil we should leave Justice doth good Temperance leaveth the evill Fortitude is constant without losing courage in adversity or waring proud in prosperity Prudence teacheth man how to approach unto God Fortitude and Temperance how to govern himself Justice how to use his Neighbour These are the four things which Satan shooteth at to destroy the Soul By Prudence which is the rule of right Reason we govern our selves wisely we order our affairs discreetly doing nothing but Right and reason In Prudence consisteth Reason Knowledge Fore-sight Aptness to give good Counsell Plato saith That Prudence is the Governess of all Moral Vertues shewing how we should understand and use the rest For as Faith informeth us what we should hope after and what we ought to love even so Prudence teacheth us how we should use Justice Fortitude and Temperance Aristotle saith that it is impossible but a prudant Man should be good If he mean moral goodness it is most true for a wise Man doth nothing but that which is lawfull But yet without Love or Charity Prudence is a Vertue no more meritorious then Faith without Love and Charity But if the prudent man love God with all his heart it is unpossible but that he should do good and consequently be good Justice is a Vertue used in two sorts sometimes it is a general Vertue and comprehends in her self all Vertue as the man that Ilbeth well and justiy is therefore called good and Iustice otherwise is understood a particular Vertue called Justice distributive yeelding to every one that which unto him belongeth This Vertue Justice distributive is convenient for all men and principally for Emperours Kings and such as have the Administration and Governments of Common-wealths to the end that they may yeeld to every one their right defending the innocent and punishing the offender doing justice and right according to equity as well to little as great and to poor as rich Many have justice painted in their Houses and yet have wrongfull dealing lodged in their hearts Many a one hath Christ in their mouth but the Devil in their minde He that will be acceptable to GOD he must be just in word upright in deed undefiled in thought Fortitude is a vertue unto which belongs a magnisicent courage not fearing any thing but unlawful actions He that hath this vertue keeps himself constant in adversity and waxeth not proud in prosoerity Fortitude gives a man

And to bring this to pass I counselled them to change and cut off the Golden Age which would have things common peaceable and in quiet Hereunto they armed themselves by all possible means undertaking to spoyle Sebatius Saga sirnamed Saturn King and Patriarch of Armenia so made and ordained by his Grand-Father Noah The same Sebatius was Son of Chus and Brother to Nimroth whom Moses called Sabtah in Hebrew which in Latine is Saturnus Then the said Sebatius King of Armenia having hardly escaped the hands of Bell and Ninus went for refuge to his Brand-father Noah in Italy where Noah made him King and Patriarch of the Aborignes and founded him a City on the other side of Tiber which was named Saturnia as Virgill declareth in a passage where he saith thus Primus ab aethereo venit Saturnus Olympo Arma Jovis sugiens regnis exul ademptis That is to say Saturn the first from 's Realm did flie for fear of Joves Artillery He lost his Rule and Regiment and led his life in banishment For Bell the Sonne of Nimroth was sirnamed Jupiter And it is not likely to be true as some say that the same Saturn that was chased away by Jupiter was Nimroth the King of Crete but the Bible saith that he was King of Babylon which was far distant from the Isle of Crete In those dayes they termed the chief Man of every House Saturn their Sons Jupiters or Joves their Daughters Juno's and their Nephewes Hercules so that we find in ancient Records many men named Saturn Jupiter and Hercules But to my purpose quoth Folly the above named Ninus by my counsell after the death of his Father Bell caused his Picture and standing Image to be made commanding every manner of person to do Homage unto the Idols of his Father and Mother and to adore them with Divine Worship and so be was as you have heard the first Inventer of Idolatry I governed Tiphon the Son of Cham in whom all his Fathers Vices abounded He maliciously envyed the prosperity of his Brother Osiris sirnamed Jupiter the just who was a great persecuter of Tyrants It angred me quoth Folly that so honest a man lived Then I caused Tiphon with other Gyants to murther Osiris insomuch that Tiphon out him in six and twenty pieces and bestowed them upon other Gyants that helped him to work his feat But the good Hercules of Lybia the Son of Osiris with the help of his other Brethren in foughten Field killed Tiphon the Gyant and the other Tyrants which consented to his Fathers death I governed quoth Folly one Jupiter King of Crete which Country is now called Candie But forasmuch as the Greek Lyars and other Writers both Latine and French to enlarge their Lyes and Dreams attribute that unto this Jupiter oftentimes which appertains not to him I would have you mark well that in those dayes the Kings Children and Fathers of Families were called Jupiters or Joves notwithstanding there are three of that name renowned as we find in Histories The first was Osiris the Nephew of Noah the Son of Cham who was no less good then his Father was evill This Jupiter begat great Hercules of Lybia who was King of Spain France and Italy This great Hercules was like unto his Father a great persecuter of Tyrants throughout all the world He begat of Araxa the young Tuscus King of Tuscany in Italy This Tuscus begat Alcirus Blascon by whom was begotten Cambo Blascon which was as some say sirnamed the second Jupiter and worshipped in the world Now this Cambo Blascon sirnamed Jupiter begat upon Electra the Daughter of Arlas sirnamed Italus of whom yet Italy beareth the name Jasius and Dardanus This the lying Cretians and many other Triflers attribute unto Jupiter of Crete which matter is in controversie and may be denyed For Dardanus after he had killed his Brother Jasius by envy and treason he fled into the Isle of Samos and from thence into Phrygia where he founded a City called Dardania where he begat a Sen called Erictonius and of him lineally descended Troas who gave the City of Dardania the name of Troy This same Troas had three children Illius Issaracula and Ganimedes which Ganimedes was taken by Tatus the King of high Phrygia and sold to Jupiter of Crete to be abused like a Sodomite which argueth that he begat not Dardanus the great Grand-father of Ganimedes The first Jupiter then you may perceive was Osiris Nephew to Noah whom Moses named Mazaraim The second Jupiter was Cambo Blascon King of Italy which some say also had been King of Athens and of Arcady but I think that Jupiter of Arcady who begat Lacedemon is some other beside Cambo Blascon Howsoever the case standeth certain it is that Jupiter of Crete Osiris and Cambo Blascon were contraries The third Jupiter renowned in the World was King of the Isle of Crete who bare in his Seutchion and Coat-Armour an Eagle but in all his manners he was altogether given to Folly For he defloured Virgins he ravished Wives abused young children and committed all kind of Villany that was possible either to be spoken or done He committed adultery with Alcmena the Wife of Amphitrio of whom he begat little Hercules of Greece he did the like with Laeda the Wife of Tyndarus of whom also he begat fair Helen I loathe to tell what Deflourings and Rapes he offered and thrust upon divers particular ●aidens and fair young Children But notwithstanding his vile life quoth Folly by my means the rude People made him a God and many false Lyars have attributed unto him the Noble deeds of the good Patriarch Noah and his Nephew Osiris sirnamed Jupiter the Just Moreover they did not only make Sacrifice unto him but also gave him the Title and Name of Most excellent good whereas indeed he was the werst evil for he was an Incestuous and Sodomitical person and a common Enemy to Chastity and honesty in so much that People openly in their Stage playes counterfeited Sung and Descanted upon the filthy Leacheries and other Villanies which he used affirming that such Antiques and Pageants were most fit and agreeable unto him By means whereof all his Subjects gave themselves to the same saying that it was as fit for them so to live as for their great God Jupiter I governed little Hercules of Greece otherwise called Alceus the Bastard Son unto the same Jupiter whom he had by Alcmena the Wife of Amphitrio Vnto the same Hercules the lying Greeks full of Vain Eloquence give the name and title of great Hercules of Lybia which is most falss For that Hercules of Greece was the first Pyrate that ever roved on the Seas and abounded with all Vice following the steps of his Father Jupiter the Adulterer in all respects and as he lived even so be dyed For being mad saith Seneca he stew his wife and children and afterwards burned himself But a little before his death be made Philactetes swear

as could be in all things saving goodness Then I desired Voluptuousness to shew me the rest of the Pallace according to her promise so we walked together into a goodly great Chamber hanged about with Cloath of Gold beset with Pearls This Chamber was paved with Marble black and white the Pillars were Iasper the Roofe was Ivory laid on with Gold and the Stairs were Alabaster In this Chamber also was a Sumptuous Chair of State wherein-most magnificently sate a Prince having on his head an Imperial Crown of Gold beset with precious Pearls and in his hand a scepter Royal. He was besides that very richly Arrayed accompanyed with many Nobles Pompously Apparelled This Prince I reverenced and he likewise saluted me giving commandement that I should be most singularly and ercellently used So we went from thence and being abroad I asked Lady Voluptuousness what Prince the same was who said that he was the Prince of 〈◊〉 Pallace even my Father the only giver and b●stower of Felicity the which I believed to be true till I found indeed that he was Lucifer the Father of Filthiness the Grand-father of Gluttony the Prince of Pride the Emperour of Iniquity and the Lord of Lewdness a Ruler of the World and one that had nothing to do in Heaven but in Earth among a sort of wicked worldlings and Devilish People This Lucifer arragantly challengeth unto himself that he hath Power to give Glory Honour and Riches to whom he listeth as the Scripture witnesseth wherefore worldlings do serve him as his Subjects From thence we went to the Treasure-House where we saw Coffers full of Coyn and Iewels which was kept by Lady Fortune as Voluptuousness said and she bestowed all that Treasure on such as the King commanded From thence we went up into a great Gallery where we saw three Presses the first full of fine wollen the second of pure Silks the third of fair white Linen this place Pomp had in keeping From thence we went to the perfuming house which differed nothing from an Apothecaries Shop For there I found all things that might move a Mans appetite or stirr up his delight There were colours to paint proud women Perfume and Oyntments to make their bodies soft and sweet and this place was kept by Lasciviousness Then we went into goodly large-Vaults where wine of no kind wanted and there was Dame Drunkenness her Kingdome From thence I was led to the Kinchins where all things were kept in order by Licorourishness whose rule lay in that place From thence to another great Room where we saw a sort of young sweet-faced Bodies Voluptuousness told me they were Ganimedes and Endimions From thence she had me by to a place that was builded very round in compass which place was marvellous bright and lightsome by reason of the great Glass windowes of Crystall This served them instead of a Temple for they had none other Here we saw a great number of fine Delicate Dames exceeding Amiable and Beautifull among all one Excelled whose Name I asked and Voluptuousness shewed me that it was Lady Venus whom all Licentious Lovers do like notable wel and honour her as a Goddesse By her sate a blind Boy who with his Bow and Arrowes shat at adventure and hit my Heart by and by came down Venus and she plucked it out receiving me with comfortable words and wonderfull perswafions And although the Arrow was quickly taken out and might seem to do no harme yet I think the head thereof was poysoned for it hath made so deep a wound as is very infections and scarce curable unless with some speciall plaisters The same Cupid governeth all Leacherous Lovers of what age soever they be or degree witness daily experience he is naked and past shame not caring who looketh upon him his blindness representeth the Folly of such as run head-long after lewd love setting their Feathers in the wind without respect of any after-clsp His Bow and Arrowes do signine the Folly of Foolls which offer themselves to be his But and stand still while be doth shoot and hit them His wings signifie the wavering minde of such as he hits who are quiet in no place or time For who is more mutable vain light inconstant and variable than the fleshly Lover Some say that this Cupid hath a Torch burning in his hand meaning thereby that he burnes to the heart all them that he toucheth All this dispatched Voluptuousness and I went to Dinner and she promised me when I had dined to shew me the rest of the Pallace CHAP. X. Dinner being done Voluptuousness sheweth the Wandring Knight the rest of the Pallace of Worldly Felicity with the description of the Towers thereof And by the Author is declared the evill Fruit of certain notorious sins THis chanced in the pleasant Month of May when Love and Lust is most in force so it was determined that we should Sup in goodly Gardens not in Banqueting Houses although they were Wonderfull fine but in Arhours Over-grown with Sweet Eglantine Rose-trees and Vines fair and clear Fonntains of cold water running by and fragrant Herbs and Flowers casting a comfortable Scent The little pretty Birds did sing round about us as well in Cages as on Trees and Bushes There was playing piping singing dancing leaping embracing and kissing Finally each Lover with his Lady was merry and to be brief every one did what liked him vest and thought themselves happy to find such Felicity But all my desire was to see the rest of the Pallace wherefore I charged Lady Voluptuousness with her promise which took effect insomuch that we went all along to a certain place where I saw the very secret Lodgings of Voluptuousness But what they were for fear of offending the Reverend Reader I mean not to rehearse then we went from Gallery to Gallery from Office to Office from Chamber to Chamber where I saw every place furnished with so rich Movables and such choyce as nothing can be wished more Amongst all those Rooms one Chamber exceeded in largness and Workmanship for costly Carving and in all other respects There I sound a very brave Bed Gorgeously trimmed insomuch that I commended the same highly Then Lasciviousness said that she had charge of that Chamber and if I listed to lye there that Night I should Lust also promised to bring Lady Venus to lye with me I hearing this me thought I felt the wound that Cupid gave me as fresh as at the first Then went we about the Walls which were all of Iet Thick and Strong Vpon these Walls were built seven Towers likeunto Steeples and every Tower had his owner In the first Ledged Pride in the Second Envy in the Third Wrath in the Fourth Gluttony in the Fift Leachery in the Sixth Covetousness and in the Seventh Sloath.
