FIRST POINT.
I Wil fayne my self to be armed at
the top of the Hil, whither I had
got with great endeauour, and much
labour and trouble. I wil cast and
reflect the eyes of my mind on the
diuers wayes and traces I had passed
thither; the precipices I escaped, and
the perils of assassinates and wild
beasts I haue auoyded: For so it is
indeed with such as haue attayned to
the top of perfection. For these
should attentiuely consider with thēselues
as from an eminent place, how
many and how great dangers, temp∣tations,
and sinister chances, being
descriptionPage 251
assisted by the diuine mercy, they
haue escaped from the world, and
al the rest of the enemies of mans
saluation.
2. Point. I wil consider the lawes
of these lifts to be such, that▪ None
shal be crowned but who haue lawfully
faught & contēded thereina 1.1The Palme
belongs but to the Conquerour:b 1.2 and I
wil admire also the goodnes of God,
for crowning vs himself with his
graces, and commanding the Angels
to crowne vs with those laurels,
which we haue purchased to our
selues with our owne vertues.
3. Point. I wil ponder and weigh
with my self, with what riuers of
ioyes the hart flowes, to whom is
affoarded to arriue to the top of di∣uine
loue, and who already beholds
his owne perseurance; which only
vertue makes vs blessed and secure,
without which the rest auayle but
descriptionPage 252
litle, or nothing, for perseuerance
alone is it, which is crowned.
