of the head to the great peace of the heart vvhy should not all Subiects ioyne togither in vnity of seruice to their King to the greate and blessed peace of the vvhole Kingdome God made all the parts of the bodie for the Soule and vvith the Soule to serue him and all the Subiects in a Kingdome to serue their King and with their King to serue him If the head of the bodie ake vvill not the heart bee greatly greeued and euerie part feele his part of the paine of it and shall a King in his vvill bee displeased and the hearte of his kingdome the heartes of his Subiects not haue a feeling of it Canne the Eye of the bodie bee hurt or greeued and neither the head heart nor any other member bee touched vvith the paine of it No more can the Counsell the Eye of the common vvealth bee disturbed but the King vvill find it and the Common-vvealth vvill feel it can the hand the Artificer bee hurt but the common-vvealth vvill find the lacke of it the Eye with pittie vvil behold it and the head vvith the eye the King vvith the Counsell take care for the help of it Can the labourer the foote be vvounded but the body of the State vvill feele it the head be carefull the eye searchfull and the hand bee painfull in the cure of it and the common-vvealth the body bee diseased but the King his Counsell and euerie true Subiect vvill put to his hand for the helpe of it hovv then grovves this murmuring at the vvill of God in men vvhile there is such an agreement of the parts in man but only by the vvorke of the deuill in man to bring him from God and the vvorlde to vvorke against himselfe his seruice in the vvorld and as hee taught it first our parēts to bring them out of paradise so he vvil as many as he can of their posterity to lead them into Hell But let mee tell thee it is better that a fevv murmurers perish vvith their murmuring then a vvhole kingdome perish vvith their mallice In the holy vvord I find vvritten If thine Eye offend thee pull it out if thy hand offend thee cut it off better to enter into heauen vvith one hand or one eye then vvith both into hell But all this vvhile there is nothing spokē of the head that must still bee kept on so if a great man or a meane man do offēd cut him off or cut him short that he may do no hurt for better a mēber perish thē the head or the hart should ake then either the King or the common-vvealth should bee diseased but for the King hovvsoeuer hee bee disposed hee must not bee disturbed for it is vvritten Touch not mine annointed and do my Prophets no harme againe transgressiō is as the sin of vvitchcraft and vvhat greater transgression then Rebellion vvhich chiefly hath her breeding in murmuring If thou hast a cruell vvicked King take him for a punishment and pray for his amendment but murmure not at his povver but if thou hast a good King take him as a blessing and hauing a good King be thankful to God for him for his prosperity serue him loue him obey him hate thy selfe to haue a thought of murmuring against him or any thing cōmanded by him looke a little more into thy glasse of murmuring see if at last thou hast the least sparke of Gods grace vvhat thou beholdest God in the heauēs frowning upon thee his angels either murmuring for thee or readie to plague thee his seruants on the Earth hating thee and the deuill vvith his angells readie to distroy thee thy Soule made a Receptacle of sinne thy mind made a torment to thy Soule thy heart made a greefe to thy bodie and euerie part of thy bodie out of temper while being driuen out of the ground of all goodnesse Thou shalt bee left in the maze of al wickednesse where loosing the hope of all cōfort thou shalt liue in the hell of all miserie yet a little look further into thy selfe and into the vilenesse of thy nature if it be touched with that infection If the weather please thee not thou wilt murmure at the heauens if the world goe not with thee thou willt murmure at the vvorlde if thy friend rebuke thee thou vvllt murmure at his care of thee If thine enemy ouercome thee thou wilt murmure at his fortune If thy Father bee aged thou wilt murmure at his life If thy brother be thine elder thou wilt murmure at his Inheritance If thy neighbour grow rich thou wilt murmure at his prosperitie If a Stranger bee fauored thou wilt murmure at his grace if a Begger bee releeued thou wilt murmure at his Almes and if a godly man bee beloued thou wilt murmure at Gods blessing If thou bee a woman or a womanish man then how many things will trouble thee thou wilt murmure at fashions coulors toies tricks words gestures and a world of such idle fancies whē alwaies the other is the best nothing pleaseth but variety hee or shee hath the best face the best eye the best hand the best legge the best body or the best foote speakes best hath the best countenance sings best dances best rides best feeds fineliest goes gaiest hath apparrell the best made and weares it best thus all is best wher there is none good while that which should be best serues God best is not spokē of for indeed who serueth God best will not let his spirit be led away with these idle humors dost thou thē see the follie of this murmuring and the hurt of so great a poyson seeke the cure of it by prayer keep it from thee by patience least if it once get hold of thy heart it breed a cureles woūd in thy Soule If thou be a king keepe thy seate If a Courtier know thy place if a Scholler plie thy booke if a Souldier look to thine honor If a marchāt take thy fortune if a farmer follow thy plough if a beggar fal to prayer but murmur not oh King if thou be not an Emperor nor courtier if thou haue not grace nor Scholler if thou want preferment nor Souldier if thou loose thy day nor Marchāt if thou loose goods nor farmer if thou lose thy labor nor beggar if thou get bare alms but murmuring at Gods wil take heede that thou loose not thine owne soule more precious to thee then the whole world Is it not strange to see the insensible Creatures what a concord there is and among the Creatures of best sence so great a disagreement In musique the Treble is the highest and the base the lowest the Tenor and Counter-Tenor betvveen thē yet though euery one hath his place when they are in their full concord they make the sweetest harmony so in a Kingdome a King is the highest and the labourer the lovvest I leaue out the Beggar as an vnnecessary member but only for the exercise
