Let us labour to be Nathanaels, true Is∣raelites, in whom there is no guile; and as Iohn Baptist, when as the Pharises asked him, whether he was the Christ, or no? Iohn 1. 20. he confessed, and denyed not, and said plainly, I am not the Christ: So if we neither meane to doe, nor know,
that such things cannot be done which our friends request of us; let us confesse, denie not, and say plainly, that their suites cannot, shall not be granted; and by such downe-right dealing, we shall at last get more favour from them, then they who flatter them with their tongue. Let not the Physician, when he reades in the Uri∣nall those dismal symptomes, which are the Ushers of Death, still promise Life and Health unto his Patient; but plainly tell him, that there is Mors in ol••a; that so he may flye unto the Physician of the Soule, for a better Life, when this shall fade. Let not the Lawyer, when he knowes the Case is desperate, feed his Clyent with false hopes to recover it, that so from ••im he may be fed with Money; but rather let him advise him to agree with his ad∣versarie while he is in the way; that though he cannot get the Conquest, yet he may have the easier Composi∣tion.
