A04906	The triall of truth wherein are discouered three greate enemies vnto mankinde, as pride, priuate grudge, and priuate gaine, ...	Knight, Edward.	1580 (1580)	STC 15047; ESTC S106835	64,206	178

for the most parte suche common posting to law as nowe a dayes is vsed is not perfourmed without greate greefe and vexation of the mynde As first either the partie plaintiue or defendaunt or both enter not into sute without offence grudge of conscience And nextly their money in their purses will not bee at quiet tyll their proper owner bee eased thereof by Lawyers although with the more paine if the Clyents are dwellyng farre from London folowing oftentymes their own euill affections as they are mooued thorowe the vayne passions of their mynds leauing their more needefull affayres at home vndone not onely to their owne harmes but perhappes sometymes to the want of some of their pore wiues and children in need of that which some fond husbandes doe so wastfully and wilfully consume in a desperate manner without their more due consideration what inconueniences may growe vnto them selues by feeding their vaine humours in attempting the lawe for euery friuolous matter wherevpon action will lye and oftentimes vpon no ground at all stirring matters of contention where no cause is As a strange case that sensible men shold delight to weary their bodies by traueyling from farre to the ende to departe from their goods in so ill coÌ„dition wherin truely the Lawyers are not so muche to be blamed in the attentiuenesse of their priuate gaine as many fond Clyents by procuring their owne paine For before the Lawyer was troubled with such Clients and their troublesome causes and fraighted with their harde gotten mony the Lawyer did sit and perhaps might sit quietly at his booke and in the winter to call for a fyre to warme him wheras nowe the ouer muche folly of many Clyents hath and doeth maintayne the Law yers to be both warme within abroad whyle many harebraynde Clyents must tarry and attend without hauing forgon that by their owne frailtie and wilfulnes which woulde haue kepte them selues warme at home many a colde day and eased them of many a paynefull iourney For proofe thereof my selfe haue learned by experience included in these verses folowyng Who so that is forced the law to pursue must offer the Lawyer more theÌ„ his due But such as can keepe them selues therfro shal find reliefe of troubles and wo Qui ante noÌ„ cauet to late may repent Wherfore with thine estate be thou coÌ„teÌ„t Whereby it is to bee noted the ignoraunce wherein many doe shewe them selues to bee blynded with the litle confidence which one neyghbour seemeth to haue in an other In so much as I haue thought both my selfe and many others deceiued in that behalfe who settyng a parte the trust of affiaunce which ought to bee reposed in honest discreet neighbours haue obstinately throwne them selues into great charges with the discommodittes before rehearsed Albeit dayly experience teacheth that after long and tedious sute mainteined the ende of all issues growe to one of these two poyntes that eyther the parties are persuaded by friendes or by their Lawyers to put the matter in comprimyse or els the nature of the lawe doeth award a Iury of twelue men to trye the issue in such wyse as perhappes no one of the sayde twelue are knowne neyther vnto partye playntyue or defendaunt or if to the one yet not to the other Wherevpon I deeme this old adage dyd grow That as a man is befriended so is the law ended So as often tymes it falleth out that those carrye awaye the blowes who leaste distrusted theyr cause farre contrary to their expectations In suche sort as were it not much better that such vnskilfull persons had neuer hazarded them selues in the fray As often the matter doeth hang a yeare or two doubtfull in whom the victory shal rest and yet in the ende one worde may bee so taken at the vantage as the spending of many a pounde may not cure the wounde made thereby And by such means the bouÌ„ds of christiaÌ„ amitie is much impaired In so much as Christian loue and neighbourhead appeareth to be very cold where the people may not be perswaded so to frame theÌ„ selues as to commyt their common causes of controuersie to the hearing and deciding of the worshipful Gentlemen nere vnto them adioyning or vnto their honest discreete neighbours For it is very vnlyke that a stranger who dwelleth farre distant from vs and altogether ignorant of our dispositioÌ„s and conuersations shold sooner prouide a redemie theÌ„ our knowen neighbours and suche as wee are daily conuersant with all and vnto whom our inclinations maners of liuing is better knowne As also no sensible man ought to bee ignorant that honest neighbors wil hold themselues more thankfully content with one friendly intertainmeÌ„t after their trauayles vsed in such behalf then the Lawyers will accompt of their many fees But me thinketh I heare some say mine aduersary dwelleth farre distaunt from mee vnto whom I answere not so But that if thou accompt anye thy Christian brethren for thine aduersary then take heede of thy Aduersary the Deuill for he is nearer vnto thee then thou art aware off And appeareth not to be farre from suche as haue chosen to dwell in malice and grudge of conscience many yeares yea perhappes to their ending day And againe me thinkes I heare some say that my neighbors vpon some grudge may be corrupted which I can not deny But then it must needes folowe that the people are very euill disposed and in a badde case where corruption may so take place in the hearts of such as professe the name of God that so many may not bee founde to speake in true iudgement betwixt neyghbour and neyghbour brother and brother to the vnityng and norishing of brotherly loue and felowshyp in such sort as ought to be desired among all suche as beare the names of Christians As wee are taught in sundry places of the scriptures In so muche as S. Iohn wryting in his first Epistle and seconde Chapter This is the tidings that ye heard from the beginnyng that yee should loue one another not as Cayn which was that wicked and slewe his brother And wherefore â—â—ue hee him Because his owne workes were euil and his brothers good And agayne it is written in the same Chapter God is loue and hee that dwelleth in loue dwelleth in God and God in him Herein is y e loue perfect in vs that wee haue trust in the daye of iudgement for as be is euen so are we in this world There is no feare in loue but perfecte loue casteth out feare for feare hath paynefulnes for hee that feareth is not perfect in loue Wee loue him for hee loued vs first if a man say hee loue God and yet hate his brother he is a lyar For howe can be that loueth not his brother whom hee hath seene loue God whom hee hath not seene And this commaundement haue wee of him that hee which loueth God should loue his brother also Loe here the true fourme what brotherly loue is required

vnto my fathers house Wher as ofteÌ„times for the space of three yeeres there appeared vnto me in a thick hedge a goodly and comfortable vision too beholde so louingly and tenderly as euer any man liuing might desire and wishe shewing suche especiall tokens of Gods great goodnesse and mercies towardes mee as I thinke neuer mortall man coulde wyshe the like which I haue euer kept secret to my selfe vntill this present time for mine owne comfort and consolation Now good maisters for Christ his sake geue eare vnto me and continue in prayers still So it is that long after I came heere to London where I was married sitheÌ„s which time I assure you I haue offended my Lord and Sauiour Christe Iesus so sore and manyfoldly by committing of such abhominable vsury as I am afrayde I shalbe condemned eternally indeede one great occasion was because I neuer gaue my selfe too prayer as I was woont to doe but spent my tyme in ouermuche worldlinesse for which my conscience did oftentimes accuse mee which striuing within mee brought mee into a marueilous greate feare of minde so that neuer man was in suche a case of long time And in this laste Tearme being in great trouble of minde the selfe same vision appeared vntoo mee againe and put mee in remembraunce of Gods especiall goodnes and graces before offered vnto mee and also in respecte of many other thinges wylled mee too leaue the trouble of the lawe and all the businesse of the worlde SitheÌ„s which time I assure you I haue left of all and so disposed my self to liue with that which the Lorde hath sent me notwithstanding I wyll shew you stranger thinges insomuche that the seconde night after I fel sick of this my present sicknesse being of perfect memory and in my bed broade awake there appeared vntoo mee suche straunge and fearefull thinges which greatly amased mee and put me in a wonderfull feare I cannot tell what I shoulde tearme them or call them but as I remember they were like Puppets which ranne vpp and downe my chamber my bed and vpoÌ„ my body tossed mee pulled mee stirred mee and so vexed me as I was neuer in my life so troubled shewing me so terrible fearefull sightes that I was almost brought to destruction vtterly so far foorth that I coulde not tell what too doe Yet at the last remembring my selfe calling too minde the wonderfull graces that my Lorde and Sauiour Iesus Christe had at diuerse and sundry times shewed mee I sayde in my self O good Lord what doe all these thinges meane With that there appeared vnto me my former visioÌ„ againe and shewed me in writing all the summes of vsury money which I had receiued in my lyfe time so plainly that I read theÌ„ And indeede the summes were true euery man named with whoÌ„ I had occupied that trade and the seuerall summes shewing mee so plainly euery thing as I assure you I much marueiled at it At the last I made answere too my vision and saide O Lord all these things be true indeede what shall I doe to it Then my vision made mee answere and comforted me very much and commaunded mee too repaye all the Vsury money againe to euery man as hee had shewed me the summes which came vnto 18. huÌ„dred pounds Then he bad me pay again fiftie pound which I had gayned for buying of a house and a hundred and twenty pounds which I had gotten by strangers as Italians and suche like and because I knewe not where the saide strangers dwelt to giue it to good prisoners good men that were in Prisons And maisters I caÌ„not tell of what religioÌ„ you be of nor to tel you the trueth I care not to the end too accuse my aduersary the Deuyll So as indeede I haue restored some part already and wil render al God willing and wyll pay all the money gayned by Vsury as my vision commaunded mee and doe so intende God willing to do tomorrowe if I liue so long If not I will desire a speciall friende of myne as my trust is in hym to see the same discharged and presently to paye out the same that my soule may abide no perrill therefore And these thinges haue iustly hapned vnto mee for I assure you I haue not vsed to pray as I was woont to doe nor neuer went to the Church at time of common Prayer because it condemned myne owne conscience for suffering mee to commit suche abhominable sinnes of Vsury and others moste detestable against the wyll of my heauenly Father who of the largenesse of his mercy so manyfold and sundry times did shew me suche euident and singuler tokens of his graces and mercies And thus my visionleft me sithence which time I assure you I haue had asmuch quietnesse as any man can wishe and haue seene such comfortable sightes as neither hearte can thinke nor tongue can expresse And so this reconciled person desired the minister being present to say the vii Psalme Glory bee to God on high and then hee thought to haue died But theÌ„ the breath being geuen him he reuiued again and fell to prayer and gaue himself wholy to quietnesse but shortly after he departed this life And as I finde of this one so reconciled to God so I can not learne but that as the number of such are very rare and contrary to many such as God hath suffered to perishe through that sinne as appeareth vnto what miserable end the trade of Vsury brought manye Iewes who occupied the same trade in this lande in former ages in suche wyse as it is affirmed in our chronicles Thatthere were certain Iewes inhabiting in y e Citie of York Insomuch as for some one of theyr profession exacted vpon a Christian for lone of money certaine of the inhabitaunts of the same Citie erected themselues to be auenged in such sort as they distressed all the saide Iewes into a Tower of the Castle there which the Christians assailed and the Iewes proffered money to bee in sauegard but the people woulde not accept it In somuche as it is saide that through the wicked counsell of one of their men of lawe all the saide Iewes so distressed agreed too cut the throates of al theyr wiues and children and to cast theyr dead bodies ouer the Walles vppon the Christians heades which horrible fact they hauing desperately perfourmed the rest not so slayne set fier on the Tower wherin they were and consumed themselues by fire Loe heere a iuste rewarde for so damnable a trade themselues to be the executioners of theyr owne wiues children heaping vengeaunce vpon them selues in a damnable maner So as it is noted 600. Iewes besides theyr wyues and childreÌ„ thus miserably dyed And as it seemeth by the story that they vndertooke so too dye for theyr lawe But Englishmen are ChristiaÌ„s then let such do the deedes of christianitie being forbidden by gods lawe and politike lawes haue so ordeined that no man shoulde winne or obtayne a
