- *Dignus plane enim morte qui tibi domine recusat vivere, & qui curat esse nisi propter te pro nihilo est, & nil est. Bern. in Cant. Propter temet ipsum domine fecisti omnia, & qui esse vult sibi, & non tibi nihil incipit esse inter omnia. Bern. 2. Ser. in Cant.

aI have read it was the speech of a Henry of France, who when he was persuaded to do something for the advancement of the Protestant Religion; he answered, He would launch no further into the deep, then he might return safe again to shore. Such spirits have most men: They look upon the ways of God as we do upon an Ignis Fatuus, which we dare not follow, for fear it lead us into bogs and pits. I shall say no more to such but this, that life, that honour is forfeited and lost, which is either gained or kept, by declining or renouncing the cause of Christ.
