I would to God, this were not too frequently the worlds fashion. Whereas heretofore, Primogeniti eo jure Sacerdotes, the first-borne had the right of Priesthood: now the younger Son, if he fit for nothing else, lights upon that privilege. That as a reverend Divine saith. Younger Brothers are made Priests, and Priests are ⟨p. 208⟩made younger Brothers. Yet, alas; for all diseases Nature provideth, Art prepareth Medicines. He is fed in this Country, whom that refuseth: An estate lost by Shipwreck on Sea, may be recovered by good-speed on Land. And in ill health, for every sore of the body, there is a salve; for every malady, a remedy: but for the Conscience, Nature hath no cure, as Lust no care. Hei mihi, quod nullis anima est medicabilis herbis! There is no herb, to heal the wounds of the soul, though you take the whole world for the Garden. All these professions are necessary; that mens Ignorance might not prejudice them, either in wealth, health, or grace. God hath made men fit with qualities, and famous in their faculties, to preserve all these sound in us. The Lawyer for thy wealth: the Physician for thy health: the Divine for thy soul. Physicians cure the body; Ministers the Conscience.

Whereas heretofore, Primogeniti eo iure Sacerdotes, the first-borne had the right of Priesthood: now the younger Sonne, if he fit for nothing else, lights vpon that priuiledge. That as a reuerend Diuine saith. Younger Brothers are made Priests, and Priests are ⟨p. 208⟩made younger Brothers. Yet, alas; for all diseases Nature prouideth, Art prepareth Medicines. He is fed in this Country, whom that refuseth: An estate lost by Shipwracke on Sea, may be recouered by good-speede on Land. And in ill health, for euery sore of the bodie, there is a salue; for euery maladie, a remedie: but for the Conscience, Nature hath no cure, as Lust no care. Hei mihi, quod nullis anima est medicabilis herbis! There is no hearbe, to heale the wounds of the soule, though you take the whole world for the Garden. All these professions are necessarie; that mens Ignorance might not preiudice them, either in wealth, health, or grace. God hath made men fit with qualities, and famous in their faculties, to preserue all these sound in vs. The Lawyer for thy wealth: the Physitian for thy health: the Diuine for thy soule. Physitians cure the body; Ministers the Conscience.
