Hath God made thee great to contemne that which is little? Or is it wisedome to make t hem the obiect of thy disdaine, who should be fauourably sheltred vnder the shadow of thy protection. If all things were well in this behalfe (Beloued) why is there more respect giuen oftentimes, to a beast, rather then to our poore Christian brethren? or (as S. Iames speaketh) to gay cloathing, or a whispering Sycophant, rather then to a faithful admonisher? High buildings had need of a firme foundation, and sure buttresses. Nabuchadnezzor, when he vaunted, he had gotten all, vpon the sudden lost his wits, and degenerated into a beast. And wormes will tell Herod, he is but a man; when applauders would make him beleiue, that he spake like a God. All this maketh well for little ones, when superiours are staued off from contemning them. |
Hath God made thee great to contemn that which is little? Or is it Wisdom to make tO hem the Object of thy disdain, who should be favourably sheltered under the shadow of thy protection. If all things were well in this behalf (beloved) why is there more respect given oftentimes, to a beast, rather then to our poor Christian brothers? or (as S. James speaks) to gay clothing, or a whispering Sycophant, rather then to a faithful admonisher? High buildings had need of a firm Foundation, and sure buttresses. Nabuchadnezzor, when he vaunted, he had got all, upon the sudden lost his wits, and degenerated into a beast. And worms will tell Herod, he is but a man; when applauders would make him believe, that he spoke like a God. All this makes well for little ones, when superiors Are staved off from contemning them. |
