     summary: I haue seene ( indeed ) the trauell , that God hath giuen the sons of men , to humble them thereby , that all things are full of labour , man cannot vtter it ; A man that hath friendes , ought to showe himselfe friendly : for a friend is neerer then a brother ; Thy owne friend therefore , and thy fathers friend forget thou not : for whether hee reprooue thee ; The woundes of a louer are faithfull or whether hee aduise ; As Oyntment and Perfui●●e reioyce the heart , so doth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by hearty counsell : or whether he exhort ; Iron sharpens iron , so doth a man sharpen the face of his friend ; and all this , not in the time of prosperity onely , as commonly , Riches gather manie friends , and the poore is separated from his neighbour : but contrarily , A true friend loueth at all times , & a brother is born for aduersitie ; in all estates therfore , as the face in the water answers to face , so the hart of man to man ; who yet , may not bee too much pressed : Withdrawe thy foot from thy neighbors house , least he be wearie of thee , and hate thee ; neither enter into thy brothers house in the daie of thy calamitie : nor againe , too forward in profering kindnesse to his owne losse ; A man destitute of vnderstanding toucheth the hand , and becommeth suretie for his neighbour : If therefore thou art become surety for thy neighbour ( much more if thou haue strikē hands with the strāger ) thou art snared with the wordes of thine owne mouth , thou art euen taken with the words of thine owne mouth .

     summary: If it pleased in the heaing ( being but dense of matter ) why may it not be more profitable in the reading , and never out of season ? we have heretofore been taken up in comparing spiritual things with spiritual , but since through a surquedry of new models ( which did not answer expectation ) men have come to take offence at Religion it self , in whatsoever dresse she doth appear : so that we have been reduced to compare even natural things with spiritual ; and by this discourse ( I trust ) it will appear , that the later hath infinitely the more advantages . For , unto man he said , Behold , the fear of the Lord , that is wisdom , and to depart from evil , that is understanding , or a right Prudence .
