out (whose Mother, when a Widdow, had beene relieved by the Parents of Iunius) tooke him home, and freely bestow∣ed both lodging and dyet upon him. It is good spirituall husbandry to sow good workes, if not our persons our posterity may reape them, as now did Iunius. But he, good man, was perplext, for being as he conceived it a burden to his friend; for there is no greater racke to an ingenu∣ous nature, then to receive kindnesses in despaire to requite them. Iunius weighing in ••he ballance of his minde every morcell of meat, and for foure moneths together (preten∣ding Study) dyned onely on Ayre, and supped with two Egges, and a small draught of Wine, fearing he should be too chargable; thus he was a Less••an before Lessius, yea he exceeded him in his Abstinence, till nature as I may say, was over pressed with too little weight of victuals, which brought him into a Consumption: But afterwards rece∣ving mony from his Father, he not only plentifully repaid his Host, but by compitent food, and corediall Phisicke re∣pared the detriments, and decayes in his body.
10. The Father of Iunius, who formerly was affraid that his Sonne would have to little Religion, began now to suspect that he would have to much, and make Divinity his profession, whereas he intended him for the practice of the civil Law. Like to many now adayes, who begrutch their pregnant children to Gods service, reserving strait Timber to be Be••mes in other buildings, & only condemn∣ning crooked peeces for the Temple; so that what is found unfit for City, Camp or Court, (not to adde ship and shop) is valued of worth enough for the Church.
11. But here hapned a sad and sudden accident, the Fa∣ther of Iunius was most barbarously butchered, by a com∣panion of Hacks Iers. Here let me beg and borrow of the courteous reader the help of his imagination, to piece out the shortnesse of my expression, in considering the great sorrow Iunius conceived hereat; but no sooner was he come to shore out of the sea of sarrow, but presently he dispatcht a letter to his Mother, full of pitty and piety, religion and
