like the Emperor Mauritius, so much terrified from within for want of Troubles from without, as to conclude thy self a Bastard in God's account, through a defect of that chastisement which is the character of a Son. For if thou usest those Talents of Grace and Reason, which God hath given thee, thy Ambition may be the Nero, whom thou resistest unto Bloud. Or thy Avarice the Domitian, by whom thou art plagu'd for thy Non-compliance. Or thy lust the Dioclesian, from whom thou suffer'st for thy Dissents. Or thy Cruelty may be the Cromwel, whom thou refusest to obey at thy great Expense. Wilt thou know by what martyrdom thy Love to Christ may be expressed in Times of Peace? and how to suffer for God, though never persecuted by men? Be but contented with all Events; and ever rise with an Appetite from the most warrantable Injoyments; Envy no mans preferment; |
