hand that created the substance of both The good creatures of God that have been prophaned to Idolatry may in a change of their use be imployed the the holy service of their maker Where there is a setled course of good government howsoever blemished with some weakness it is not safe to be over forward to a change though to a better The change of a Prince never hapneth in any Realm but it trayneth with it great troubles and sorrows because at an alteration men are forced to change alter their manners form of living suddenly for that that pleaseth one Prince disliketh another It never yet hapned to anyman since the beginning of the World nor ever will to have all things according to his desire or to whom fortune was never opposite or did change Great charges can hardly be governed without some indiscreet policies In those actions whereby an offence may be occasioned though not given charity binds us both to cleer our own name and the conscience of others As faith draws home generalities so charity diffuseth generalities from it self to others If we may refresh the soul of the poor with the very offalls of our estate and not hurt our selves wo be to us if we do it not Where there is a misconceit of God no marvel if there be a defect of charity The nature of charity is to unite and bind men together in all mutuall christian offices and it doth not only unite and bind men but keeps them so when they are together Charitas est quasi chare unitas There is no matter of such consequence in it self but may be much graced with ceremonies complements which like Officers add much respect and majesty to the action which otherwise being but boldly presented appeareth far meaner and of less regard The vulgar use to censure him that punished the fault not him that makes it Wise men must care not only to deserve well to wipe off not only the crimes but censures also It is not safe to censure all mens actions by our own conceit but rather to think there may be a further drift and warrant of their act then we can attain to see It is no censuring of the truth of our present sorrow by the event of the following misarriages We ought not to censure mens worths by singularity but to take them carnall with all their qualities together Carnall men think that impossible to others which themselves cannot do from hence arise their censures hence their exclamations There must be discretion there must be partiality in our censures of the greatest There be five limitations of injoyned ceremonies first they that be not against Gods word secondly that justification or remission of sins be not attributed unto them thirdly that the Church be not troubled with their multitude fourthly that they be not decreed as necessary and not to be altered fifthly that men be not so tied to them but that by occasion they may be omitted so it be without offence and contempt Externall ceremonies of piety and complements of devotion may be well found with falshood in religion they are a good shadow of truth where it is but where it is not they are the very body of Hypocrisie In the 21. yeaar of Richard the second Cheshire was made a principality In children there are often presages of vertues and vices Armies and Navies are not so strong defences and rampiers of a Princes estate as the multitude of children-Friends with time and fortune sometime by unadvised desires or oversights decrease and fal away from us and fade whereas a mans own blood cleaveth fast and cannot be dis-joyned especially in Princes whose prosperity as well may others enjoy but their adversity toucheth none so neer but their neerest in blood And how should brethren agree if they have not an example from their father Children are the living goods of their parents and therefore must waite upon the bestowing of their owners Such children as dispose of themselves without their parents they do wilfully unchild themselvs and change natural affection for violent As it becomes not children to be forward in their choyce so parents may not be too peremtory in their denial it is not safe for children to over-run parents in setling their actions nor for parents where the inpediments be not very materiall to come short of their children when the affections are once setled the one is disobedience the other may be tyranny Children do easily learn to contemn the poverty of their own parents Reverence and loving respects of children to parents never yet went away unrecompenced God will surely raise up friends amongst strangers to those that have been officions at home The propagation of children belongs to the glory of marriage and not to the punishment of sin The fountain and root of all goodness and honesty is the good education and training up of our children in their tender age Children are bound to obey their parents if they be good if bad to forbeare them however to reverence them As it is good for a man to have an enemy so it shall be our wisdom to make use of his most cholerick objections the worst of an enemy may prove most soveraine to our selves Choller is hot and dry bitter begotten of the hotter part of the Chilus and gathered to the gall it helps the naturall heat and sences and serves to the expelling of excrements It was necessary for Christ the Mediator between God and man to have a temporal mortality and an eternal beatitude to have correspondency with mortals by the first and to transfer them by eternity by the second The dignity of Christs person being infinite gave such worth to his satisfaction that what he suffered in short time was proportionable to what we should have suffered beyond all time Christ his man-hood is the churches head his God-head is the life and soul of it It were impossible the Nations should desire Christ to come in his glorious power to judge the world as we see they do unless they had been first united in their true beleife upon him when he came in humility to suffer Christs sufferings and his life hath not only left us the vertue of the Sacraments but his example whereby to direct our selves in all our courses God the father in his personall presence will judge no man but hath given all judgement unto his sonn who shall shew himself as man to judge the world even as he shewed himself man to be judged of the World When our Saviour asked his Disciples Whom say men that I am Peter answered thou art the Christ c. to whom Christ replied thou art Petes and upon this rock will I build my Church c. meaning not so much upon the person of Peter as upon Peters

or otherwise cumpulsion of necessity It is a most dangerous thing for a Prince to hazard his estate in battel if he may by any other means make a good end for a small loss in battle changeth and altereth the minds of his Subjects The loss of a battel traineth with it a number of inconveniences to him that is vanquished Beasts as well as men do soon alter and bastardise their affections Beasts may teach us by their examples and condem us by their practise The image of the beast in the Revelation in his dissimulation in such as profess religion and practise infidelity they fain to be what they are not and their show not their truth procureth them the name of Christians Beauty is lively shining or glittering brightness resulting from effused good by Ideas seeds reasons shaddows stirring up our minds that by this good they may be united and made one Beauty is the perfection of the whole composition caused out of the Congruous Symetry measure order and manner of parts and that comeliness which proceeds from this beauty is called grace and from thence all fair things are gracious for grace and beauty are annexed together It was beauty first ministred occasion to art to find out knowledge of carving printing building to find out moulds prospectives rich furnitures and so many rare inventions Beauty is natures priviledge a dumb comment a silver fraud a still Rhetorick that perswades without speech a kingdom without a guard a Tyranny that Tyranizeth over Tyrants In beauty that of favour is preferred before that of colours and decent motion is more then that of favour Beauty is the g●ft of God but given to the evil also least the good should imagine of too great worth All bodily beauty is a congruence in the members joyned with a pleasing colour and where that is not there is evermore dislike either by reason of defect or superfluity Beauty is of two sorts one wherein dignity excelleth another wherein comeliness Beauty is the flower and blossome of vertue Beatitude is not attained unless it be affected Beatitude consists not in the knowledge of Divine things but in a Divine life for the Devills know more then men Beatitudo non est Divinorum cognito sed vita Divina Faire beginnings are no sound proofs of our proceedings and ending well how often hath a bashfull childhood ended in an impudency of youth a strict entrance in licentiousnes is early forwardness in A theisme A comely and graceful carriage and behavior is an ornament to the vertue of brave men but to weake spirits it serves but a vigor or naturall coverture to hide or qualifie their abject and low minds Pope Iohn the 14 th Christened the great Bell of Lateran after his own name he being the first that ever Christened Bells It sufficeth for a Christian to believe this was or that shall be let the means alone to him who concealeth the plainest works of nature from our apprehensions more beleife ought to be given to things vvhich appear impossible then to those which admit of likely-hood who would make a lye to be beleived delienates forth a seeming truth and not an impossibility The best rule which can be given for living in safety is alwayes to fain beleife yet alwayes to doubt men willingly believe that which they would have come to pass We honor God when we do believe him for thereby we give him the glo● of all his attributes How far a thing is dissonant and disagreeing from the guise and trade of the hearers so far shall it be out of their beleife King Edward the fourth in the second year of his reign was the first King of England that ever did exact mony of his subjects by vvay of benevolence In point of entering a breach there is a little or no difference between a strong town and a weake for the beseiged in either do wholly trust to their new and sudden works The obligation of a benefit hath wholy reverence unto the will of him that giveth Men are more dull in felling of a good turn then of an ill we have not so sensible and perfect feeling of health as we have of the least sickness Good turns or benefits are no longer wel taken then they may be recompenced when they grow greater then hope of requital instead of thankfulness they breed hatred and ill will Dangerous are too great benefits from a subject to a Prince both for themseves and the Prince when they have their minds capable only of merit and nothing of duty benefits are more easily forgotten then injuries All benefits lose much of their splendor both in the giver and receiver which bear with them an exprobative tearm of necessitie It is too much niceness in them to forbear the benefits they might make of the faculties of prophane hereticall persons they consider not they have more right to the good such persons can do then they that do it and challenge that good for their own The way to obtain any benefit is to devote it in our hearts to the glory of God of whom we ask it by this means shall God both pleasure his servant and honour himself whereas if the scope of our desires be carnall we may be sure either to fail of our sute or of a blessing A Benefit that is upbraided becometh burthensome and odious and is not thankfully accepted Commemoratio est quasi exprobatio Benefits are alwayes willingly received but the benefactors are not alwayes willingly beheld The obligation which remains sowers the sweet of the benefit received All birds build their nests towards the East It is a thing that ordinarily daunteth and casteth down the heart of a man when he is privy to the baseness of his birth and knoweth some defect blemish or imperfection in his parents That birth detracts from the merit of great actions which obliges to greater In the 12 th year of William the Conquerour Lanfranke Arch-Bishop af Canterbury in a councill holden at London
