live in Townes and converse with others as they are the same nature every where to be seene and observed to them that have retired themselves to the top of mountaines and to desart Havens or what other desart and inhabited places soever For any where if thou wilt mayest thou quickly finde and apply that to thy selfe which Plato saith of his Philosopher in a place as private and retired saith hee as if hee were shut up and enclosed about in some Shepherds lane on the top of a hill There by thy selfe to put these questions to thy selfe or to enter into these considerations What is my chiefe and principall part which hath power over the rest What is now the present estate of it as I use it and what is it that I employ it about Is it now voyde of reason or no Is it free and separated or so affixed so congealed and growne together as it were with the flesh that it is swayed by the motions and inclinations of it XXV Hee that runnes away from his Master is a fugitive But the law is every mans Master Hee therefore that forsakes the Law is a fugitive So is hee whosoever he be that is either sorry angry or afraid or for any thing that either hath beene is or shall be by his appointment who is the Lord and Governour of the Universe For hee truly and properly is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or the Law as the onely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or distributer and dispenser of all things that happen unto any one in his life time Whosoever then is either sorry angry or afraid is a fugitive XXVI From man is the seede that once cast into the wombe man hath no more to doe with it Another Cause succeedeth and undertakes the Worke and in time brings a Child that wonderfull effect from such a beginning to perfection Againe Man lets food downe through his throat and that once downe hee hath no more to doe with it Another Cause succeedeth and distributeth this foode into the Senses and the affections into life and into strength and doth with it those other many and marvailous things that belong unto man These things therefore that are so secretly and invisible wrought and brought to passe thou must use to behold and contemplate and not the things themselves onely but the power also by which they are effected that thou mayst behold it though not with the eyes of the body yet as plainly and visibly as thou canst see and discerne the outward efficient cause of the depression and elevation of any thing XXVII Ever to mind and consider with thy selfe how all things that now are have beene heretofore much after the same sort and after the same fashion that now they are and so to thinke of those things which shall bee hereafter also Moreover whole dramata and uniforme scenes or scenes that comprehend the lives and actions of men of one calling and profession as many as either in thine owne experience thou hast knowne or by reading of ancient histories as the whole Court of Adrianus the whole Court of Antoninus Pius the whole Court of Philippus that of Alexander that of Craesus to set them all before thine eyes For thou shalt finde that they are all but after one sort and fashion or all of the same kinde and nature only that the actors were others XXVIII As a pigge that cryes and flings when his throat is cut phancie to thy selfe every one to bee that grieves for any wordly thing and takes on Such a one is he also who upon his bed alone doth bewaile the miseries of this our mortall life And remember this that unto reasonable creatures only it is granted that they may willingly and freely submit unto Providence but absolutely to submit is a necessity imposed upon all creatures equally XXIX Whatsoever it is that thou goest about consider of it by thy selfe and aske thy selfe What because I shall doe this no more when I am dead should therefore death seeme grievous unto me XXX When thou art offended with any mans transgression presently reflect upon thy selfe and consider what thou thy selfe art guiltie of in the same kinde As that thou also perchance dost think it a happinesse either to be rich or to live in pleasure or to be praised and commended and so of the rest in particular For this if thou shalt call to mind thou shalt soone forget thine anger especially when at the same time this also shall concurre in thy thoughts that he was constrained by his error and ignorance so to doe For how can he choose as long as he is of that opinion Doe thou therefore if thou canst take away that from him that forceth him to doe as he doth XXXI When thou seest Satyro thinke of Socraticus Eutyches or Hymen and when Euphrates thinke of Eutychio and Sylvanus
