The Soul not to be starved in the want of means. [ 1458]
IT was a poor equivocating trick of the Duke D' Alva,* 1.1 at the Fuyck Sconce
before Harlem, when having promised the Souldiers their lives, he caused
them to perish with hunger; and being challenged with his promise, answer∣ed;
That he had given them assurance of their lives, but never promised that they
should have meat or drink. And such is the Folly of him that talks of saving his
Soul;* 1.2 and yet denyes unto it the means of Salvation, being negligent in hearing
of the Word, cold and carelesse in Prayer, remisse in the actions of Mortification,
and dull in the ent••rtainment of those Christian duties and Graces, whereby the
pretious Soul is not onely preserved and nourished, but also adorned and beau∣tified.
