005.B13.001  Thou shalt not laugh in this Leafe (Muse,) nor they,
005.B13.002  whome anie pittie warnes; Hee w%5ch%6 did laye
005.B13.003  rules to make Courtiers; hee beinge vnderstood
005.B13.004  Maye make good Courtiers; but who Courtiers good
005.B13.005  frees from the stinge of Iests all; who in extreame
005.B13.006  are wretched, or wicked. of these twoe a theame
005.B13.007  Charetie, & Libertie giue mee. What is hee
005.B13.008  Who Officers rage, & Suitors miserie
005.B13.009  Can write, & Iest? If all thinges bee in all
005.B13.010  as I thinke, since all w%5ch%6 were are, & shall
005.B13.011  be, made of the same Elements
005.B13.012  each thinge, each thinge Implies, or represents.
005.B13.013  Then man is a worlde, in w%5ch%6 officers
005.B13.014  are the vast %Yv%Zraveninge Seas, & Suitors,
005.B13.015  Springes now full, now shallowe, now drie w%5ch%6 to
005.B13.016  that w%5ch%6 drownes them run%M. These selfe reasons doe
005.B13.017  proue the worlde a man; in w%5ch%6 officers
005.B13.018  aree the devouringe stomacke, & Suitors
005.B13.019  the excrement w%5ch%6 they voyde. All men are dust,
005.B13.020  Howe much worse are suitors, whoe to mens Lust
005.B13.021  are made prayes. O worse then dust, or wormsmeate
005.B13.022  for they doe eate you now, Whose selues wormes shall eate.
005.B13.023  They are the Milles w%5ch%6 grynde you; yet you are
005.B13.024  the winde%Ys%Z w%5ch%6 driues them. And a wastefull warr
005.B13.025  Is fought against you, & you fight it. They
005.B13.026  Adulterate Lawe; & you prepare the waye
005.B13.027  Like wittalls. The issue your o>%Vw<ne rage is.
005.B13.028  Greatest, & fayrest Empress know you this?
005.B13.029  Alas noe more then Thames %Ysmall%Z calme head doth knowe
005.B13.030  Whose meades her arme%Yr%Z drownes; or whose corne oreflowe.
005.B13.031  You S.%5r%6, Whose righteousnes she loues, Whom I
005.B13.032  by hauinge leaue to serve, am most ri%5t%6chly
005.B13.033  For service payde, authorisd now begin
005.B13.034  to knowe, & weede out this enormous synn.
005.B13.035  O age of rustie Iron; some better witt,
005.B13.036  call it some worse name, yf ought equall it.
005.B13.037  The Iron age was, when Iustice was solde, now
005.B13.038  Iniustice is soulde deerer farr. Allow
005.B13.039  all claym'd fees, & dewties. Gamsters anon
005.B13.040  the money w%5ch%6 you sweare, & sweate for, is gon
005.B13.041  into other handes. Soe contrauerted Landes
005.B13.042  Like Angelica scape the striuers handes
005.B13.043  If Law bee in the Iudges harte, and hee
005.B13.044  %Yand%Z haue noe harte to resist Letter, or fee
005.B13.045  Where wilt thou appeale? Power of the Courts belowe
005.B13.046  flowe from the first maine head%Ys%Z, & these can throwe
005.B13.047  Thee, yf they suck thee into misery)
005.B13.048  to fetters, ha>t%>l<ters. But yf the Iniurie.  [CW:steale thee to=]
005.B13.049  Steale thee to dare Complaine; Alas thou goest  [f.54v]
005.B13.050  against the streame, When vpwards. when thou art most
005.B13.051  heavy, & most fainte, and in those Labors, they
005.B13.052  gainst whome thou should'st complaine; will in thy waye
005.B13.053  become great Seas, ore w%5ch%6, when thou shalt bee
005.B13.054  forc'd to make goulden bridges, thou shalt see
005.B13.055  that all thy gould was drownd in them before
005.B13.056  All thinges follow their likes, onely whoe haue, maye haue more.
005.B13.057  Iudges are Gods. Hee whoe made, & said them soe
005.B13.058  meant not men should bee forc'd to them to goe
005.B13.059  by means of Angells. When supplications
005.B13.060  wee send to God, to Dominations
005.B13.061  Powers, Cherubins, and all heavens Courts yf wee
005.B13.062  should paye fees, as heere, daylie bread would bee
005.B13.063  scarce to Kinges. Soe 'tis, would it non anger
005.B13.064  A Stoick, a Cowarde; yea a Martir
005.B13.065  To see a Pursevant come in, & call
005.B13.066  all his clothes Copes; bookes primers, and all
005.B13.067  his plate Challices, & mistake them a waye
005.B13.068  and aske a fee for cominge. O neere maye
005.B13.069  faire Lawes white reverent name bee strumpeted
005.B13.070  to warrant thefts: Shee is established
005.B13.071  Recorder of Destenie on earth, & shee
005.B13.072  Speakes fates wordes, & but tells vs whoe must bee
005.B13.073  ritch, whoe poore, whoe in Chayres, whoe in Iayles
005.B13.074  Shee is all faire: but yet hath foule longe nayles
005.B13.075  W%5th%6 w%5ch%6 shee scratcheth sutors. In bodies
005.B13.076  of men%M (soe in Lawe) nayles are the extremeties
005.B13.077  Soe officers stretch to more than Lawe can doe
005.B13.078  as our nayles reach, what noe else parte comes to.
005.B13.079  Why barest thou to yon officer Foole? hath hee
005.B13.080  gott those goodes, for w%5ch%6 men erst bar'd to thee?
005.B13.081  ffoole twice, thrice, thou haste bought wronge, & now hungerly
005.B13.082  begg'st right; but that dole comes not till these dye.
005.B13.083  Thou hadd'st much, & Lawes Vrim, & Thum%Mim try
005.B13.084  thou would'st for more, & for all hast paper
005.B13.085  Enough to cloath all the Caricks pepper
005.B13.086  Sell that, and by that thou much more shalt Leese

005.B13.088  O wretch that thy fortunes should moralise
005.B13.089  AE%Lsops fables, and make tales prophesies.
