Compassionate counsel to all young men especially I. London apprentices, II. students of divinity,…

Yea how many also so dote, as to think that the interest of Head, Heart, Stomach and Members, of Rulers and Subjects, stand not in Union, but in contrariety and victory against each other. Woe to the Land that hath such Rulers, and to the poor Tenants that have such Land-Lords. But much more woe to such selfish oppressors, that had rather be feared than loved, and take it for their honour to be free and able to do mischief, and destroy those, whose common welfare should be more pleasant to them than their own. And to them especially that take serious godliness, and godly men to be against them, and therefore bend their wit and power to suppress them; as if they said as Luke 19.27. We will not have this man reign over us, whom Christ will destroy as his unthankful Enemies, and ⟨p. 175⟩will break them with his Iron rod, and dash in pieces as a potters vessel, Psal. 2.
