The high price of the Soul. [ 1449]
PLato that divine Philosopher,* 1.1 travelling to see the wonders of Sicily, was
(upon some discourse had betwixt him and Dionysius the Tyrant) appre∣hended
and clapt up in Prison, his fact was made capital, but by the favour
of some near the Tyrant, he was adjudged to be sold: one Annecerts buyes him,
layes down twenty pounds, and sends him home to Athens; Seneca quarrels the
price, censures Anneceris for undervaluing so worthy a Man, ballancing one of
such high parts with such a low sum of Money. But this censure cannot light
upon our Saviour,* 1.2 who gave not for the Soul of Man, the Earth, the Sea, the
World; but that which was of infinite Value,* 1.3 even his own dearest bloud.
descriptionPage 504
Propter Animam Deus secit mundum,* 1.4 &c. It was for the Souls sake that God made
the World; And it was for the Souls sake that the Son of God came into the
World, made himself of no Reputation, was like unto man in all things (sin one∣ly
excepted) scorned, scourged, derided, &c. and at last submitted himself to
Death, even the Death of the Crosse, Phil. 2. 8.
