No such thing as Independency in this life. [ 343]
TRimethius,* 1.1 in his catalogue of Ecclesiasticall Writers, mentioneth what
Occam,* 1.2 the famous Schoolman, said upon occasion unto Lewis the Empe∣rour,
Domine Imperator,* 1.3desende me gladio, & ego te defendam calamo; here was the
Emperour's sword, and Occam's pen standing in need of one another. This shewes,
there is no man absolutely independent in this world, nor ever shall be, so long as
he hath any dependency here below. The head cannot say to the
foot, I have no
need of thee. The Master cannot be without his Man, nor the Landlord without his
Tenants, nor the King without his Subjects. He that taketh place before all in some
things, must be content to give place, and come behind others in some things else.
