2. Physic and Divinity are Professions of a near affinity: both intending the cure and recovery,1 one of our bodies, the other and better of our souls. Not that I would have them conjoined in one person: (as one spake merrily of him, that was both a Physician and a Minister: that whom he took money to kill by his Physic, he had also money again to bury by his Priesthood.) Neither, if God hath poured both these gifts into one man, do I censure their Union, or persuade their separation. Only let the Hound, that runs after two Hares at once, take heed least he catch neither. Ad duo qui tendit, non unum nec duo prendit. 2And let him that is called into Gods Vineyard, hoc agere, attend on his office. And beware, least to keep his Parish on sound legs, he let them walk with sickly consciences. Whiles Gal•• & Avicen take the wall of Paul & Peter. I do not here tax, but rather praise the works of mercy in those Ministers, that give all possible com•orts to the distressed bodies of their brethren.

Not that I would haue them conioyned in one person: (as one spake merrily of him, that was both a Phisitian and a Minister: that whom he tooke money to kill by his Physicke, he had also money againe to burie by his Priesthood.) Neither, if God hath powred both these gifts into one man, doe I censure their Vnion, or perswade their separation. Onely let the Hound, that runnes after two Hares at once, take heede least hee catch neither.
