A05380	Lever, Christopher, fl. 1627.	Heauen and earth, religion and policy. Or, The maine difference betweene religion and policy. Written by C.L.	1608.0		.xml	application/xml	15764	425	51	11 And these prouocations are so powerfull in mans nature , as that euery degree of humane life hath receiued some infection from that poyson : euen the holiest rank of men , whose places are ( and euer haue beene ) of most reuerend estimation , men of religious name and place , who haue abiurde the vanities of this life , and haue dedicate themselues and their indeauours to God , and godly cares onely ; euen many of these men lose their lawfull ayme and shoote at such markes they ought not to leuell at : making Religion but to shaddow Policy , and their good place to countenance their bad practise . 6 And because that prosperous fortune doth seeme to be the vtmost end of euery badde mans practise ; therefore is in of moment to consider the diuers natures of Religion and Policy in men of prosperous Fortune ▪ for it is not of necessarie consequence that because euill m●n affect onely the prosperitie of this life ; therefore prosperous Fortune is altogether to be despised or neglected , and to be altogether out of the cares of good men ; for good men may care for that which euill men care for , but they may not ( like euill men ) care onely for that , but that God may be the main purpose of all their cares ; and that all other things bee onely so farreforth cared for , as may administer to a mans Christian necessity .	cache/A05380.xml	txt/A05380.txt
