this accurssed meate cleaued to close to the same that force nor strength could beat the same away The maide crying to her young maister with a shriking voice caused him quicklie to discerne the matter who assaying by stripes to repulse the same away wrought by Gods iust iudgement his owne punishment for this filthie Tode contrarie to natures temeritie which hath taught the same to flie the sight of man with forcible strength reuerted from the meate and respringing from the same leapt suddenlie into the face of this Lordlie sonne cleauing so fast therevnto that no art nor councell no force nor fortitude could driue the same from his accurssed fleshe but that sticking thus vnto his face many yéeres punished the wickednesse of this vngratious impe that contrarie to lawe nature disdayned the duetie due to his withered Parents But that which is most myraculous when any man touched any part of this hateful monster or endeuored to driue the same from of his face the terror of torment so assaulted his heart that it pinched the same with most vntollerable paines The fame of this woonder was spread throughout all the vttermost endes of Normandie and Fraunce the straungenesse whereof did amaze as many as heard the same causing in many children some feare and duetie to theyr Parentes and in many Fathers more carefull regard of theyr children Yet as there is no offence so bainous but by contrition auoideth Gods vengeaunce so is there no sinne so gréeuous but is pardoned by repentaunce for though the fire of Gods wrath be often kindled against our transgression yet the waterie teares of submission quencheth the consuming coles of his anger and obteineth present remission and so though this obstinate sonne had both offended his earthly Father and also incensed his heauenlie Creator yet his minde melting in humility prouoked the Lord to accustomable pittie so that after long patient and sufficient sufferaunce the Lord sent vnto him spéedy delyueraunce Drawe néere you dallying Daddes that marre the mindes of your children by excessiue and ouermuch cockering beholde the iudgementes of God that punisheth you in those thinges that you chéefely loue because you make them your Gods who ought to be theyr guides you adore them lyke Saintes which should serue you lyke Sonnes you let them run at lybertie which you ought to kéepe in straightly you minister to theyr néedlesse youth which should labour for your néedfull age you giue them all things and deny them nothing and yet you complaine that your children are gracelesse when you your selues are not therein blamelesse O Fathers remember you haue béen children remember that in your childhood the flesh did assayle yée letchery dyd burne yée lust dyd inflame yée the world dyd prouoke yée and the deuill dyd tyse yée and sith thou art a Father and hast béene a sonne sith thou art olde and hast béene young let not thy chylde liue so in youth as maye make thée wéepe in age neyther let him so follow his affection as maye cause thee wayle thy want of discretion Harke what the Wise man sayth If thou bring vp thy sonne delycatelie he shall make thee afraide and if thou playe with him he shall bring thee to heauinesse laugh not with him least thou weepe with him also and least thou gnash with thy teeth at the last giue him no lybertie in his youth and excuse not his follie bowe downe his necke whyle he is young hye him on the sydes whyle lie is but a childe least he waxe stubborne and giue no more force of thee and so shalt thou haue heauinesse of soule Saint Augustine reciteth a notable example of Cyrillus a Cittizen of Hiponenses who hauing a Sonne which he superfluously loued for that he was his onely sonne he possessed he brought him vp so delicately that he wanted nothing but had it of him willinglie denying nothing that he demaunded but graunting him all things that he requyred being as slowe to correct him as he was loth to displease him this youth consumed a great part of his fathers goodes in luxurious lyuing as a number doo with vs in these dayes which frequent the Tauerne before the Temple visite theyr harlottes with letters before theyr redéemer with teares delyte rather to sippe the cuppe of theyr concubine then to taste of the comfortable cuppe of Communion but beholde the glorie of foolish Fathers and marke the fruite of vnbridled children for being one day dronken with as much wine as his Syre was with superfluous loue he kylled his Father weake with age oppressed his Mother great with childe would haue defyled his sisters and wounded two of them vnto death O myserable and detestable impe of the deuill but sée héere O fathers what cōmeth of your too too foolish affection superfluous loue which blindeth your iudgement that you cannot will not correct the faultes of your children as the Philosopher sayth Amor et odium sepe faciunt iudicium non cognoscere Loue and hatred oftentimes peruert iudgement The cause of which maketh you to nussel them in such nicenes that they are vnfit for labor or study through corruption of idlenes the Emperor Octauian set his sonnes daughters to labor to the end y t they might if fortune failed obtaine a meane to liue in honest behauior he taught his sonnes the exercise of chiualrie his daughters to worke in wooll painefully Licurgus taught his yong children to suffer harme patientlie to doo good willingly Many examples may be héerin inserted in which I should séeme too tedious if I should prosecute them with prolixitie but because I will not be too long I will therefore conclude with breuitie shewing how this want of correction and this too fond affection hath caused Parents to be punished in theyr children Dauid for as much as he was too slacke in correcting his childrens abuses was therefore plagued in theyr oppressions how was he expulsed by Absalon How was he shamed in Amon And to be short Hely for his negligence in not correcting the offences of his children was punished of God so that in one day his sonnes were slaine he brake his necke and his daughter in lawe for sorrowe thereof trauailed with childe and died Boetius reciteth a History of Lucretius that was nourished vp of his father without discipline and correction vntyll mans state who consumed his money at dice and harlottes and being many times redéemed by his Father out of prison fell notwithstanding to ill company and conuersation tyll on a time being taken for some great offence and led vnto the gallowes his father folowing him he requested at the place of execution that he might speake with his father and that he might but kisse him before his departure and fayning the same most sharplie bitte of his fathers nose saying Father iustlie by thy meanes doo I suffer this for hadst thou but corrected me I neuer had come to this miserie Beholde héere
