that they might knowe what they ought to doe and if I find anie so obstinate that will not learne or so vngodly that doth refuse to reforme his life I reforme my house and send him out of the doores for I knowe the roome of such to bee better then their companie and that one skabbed shéepe may marre a whole flocke and the companie of the vngodly to be so dangerous as no plague nor pestilence is so infectious and I haue learned of Dauid to looke vnto * Psal 10.16 such as are faithfull in the land that they may dwel with me and such as feare God those I make my seruants Par. These orders in bringing vp of your seruants in the feare of God deserue great commendations But if they doe their seruice faithfully as it becommeth them do you keep them continually in the seruitude of Egypt Gen. No for I am taught to * Eccle. 7 21. Deut. 15.13 loue a discrete seruaunt as mine owne soule and not to defraud him of his libertie nor leaue him a poore man and it is my duetie to doe vnto my seruants that which * Colo. 4.1 is iust and equall knowing that meself haue a master in heauen Thus M. Parson haue I shewed you my bringing vppe and howe from my Childehoode vnto this daie I haue lead my life and of these orders if it please you I can be contented you shal be a partner and if you be now any better perswaded then heretofore I wil willingly bestow the charge on you to finde you meate and drinke and all other thinges necessary for you as long as you liue if you will accept such intertainment as I can make you Par. Sir I am bound to thanke you for your good will moste heartelie but I doe not yet find any such necessity to be chargeable vnto any man as long as I am able to discharge my selfe Gen. Oh it gréeueth me to heare you are you alwaies one manner of man you haue tolde me that you haue no wife nor child to care for and what can you more desire then food and raiment Par. But what neede I become subiect to any mā when as I maie be master of seruantes my selfe Gen. For any subiection at your handes I neuer meant to looke for but if you can like of this offer you shal haue a chamber as your owne a man at your commaundement and you shall fare no worse then my selfe which I trust shal be sufficient to content either of vs both Therefore if you can finde in your hearte to forsake your vngodlie promotion and liuings vnlawfullie possessed and becom a new man and seruaunt to God saie no longer nay but take this offer while you maie haue it Par. To haue a Chamber in your house and to forgoe a house of mine owne is so exchaunge the better for the woorse and to shut my selfe in a prison wheras I am now at libertie and whereas you offer mee one man to attend on me you maie knowe that I now am able to keepe thrée or foure faule fellowes which are readie at all times to serue my tourne and I am so well beloued amongst my parishioners that ther are few men or their wiues but are at my commandement to do for me the best that they maie therefore you to counsell mee to leaue all these commodities and bee chargeable to you is to trouble your selfe and doe me no pleasure Gen. Oh M. Parson I would not wishe you to thinke so but that I can be content to be at greater charge so that I might thereby doe you any good And these vanities which you account commodities are nothing but trains of the diuel to trap you in his gin for he could be contented to giue you all this worlde if it were his that hee might haue but your soule in the worlde to come therefore M. Parson I woulde you knew it that that which I haue sayde I wish you for the best and that you might be vnburdened of that great charge which is too heauie for you to beare Oh let not the loue of money worke the losse of your soule but be contented to lose somwhat for Christ which was contented to laie downe his life for you oh * VVis 1.12 seeke not your death in the error of your life make no tarying to turne vnto the Lorde and put not of from day to day vnlesse his wrath come suddenly and in the time of vengeance he do destroy you doe no longer sel your selfe to sinne this miserable world but set your affections in heauen where your redemer liueth for euer Come awaie from that whoore of Babylon drinke no longer of her poison leaue of from Papistrie and defie the Pope and al Poperie Par. Why I trust gentleman you doe not thinke that I am a Papist for so you might prooue me a traitor both to God and the Quéene Gen. Truelie M. Parson I haue taken you for no other al this while Par. Then I perceiue you haue beene farre deceiued for I would you knewe it I am as good a Protestant as the proudest of you al. Gen. What are you so I praie you what protestation can you make thereof that I maie be so wel persuaded of you Par. I can eate fleshe on Fridaies I care not if there were not one fasting daie in a whole yeare I can fal to my vittailes al the Lente I care not if the Pope were hanged so I mighte fare a penie the better for it I can bee as holy in the Church as any man although the flesh be somwhat fraile when I am abroade and a thousande such thinges can I doe which woulde be to long to reherse Gen. Oh I perceiue you are deceiued of your self for you are an Epicure out right What doe you account this to bee a Protestants life No M. Parson a Protestaunt is not knowne by these marks Par. No I praye you howe wil you know a Protestant Gen. If hee professe that there is no redemption * 1. Tim. 2.5 but in the bloud of Christ if the word * Gal. 3.24 of god dwel in him plentifully if his talke be alwaies of the * Heb. 9.26 commaundements of the Lorde if his profession and * Colo 6.7 Deut. 6.7 Rom. 2.13 his life doe agree if hee loue such as feare God for his sake if the world be * Psal 15.4 Gal. 5.24 crucified vnto him and he vnto the world if he be not hie minded but doth make himself equal with those of the lower sort If he * Phil. 3.8 count al the worlde but dung that he may winne Christ if hee loue * Psal 119. the lawe of the Lorde aboue golde or pretious stone If he be no * Ephe. 5.5 whoremonger no drunkard no vsurer no theefe no swearer no filthie talker no couetous person If he be no negligent Pastor if he be sory for his sinnes committed and doth seeke to become a
