The worth of a true Christian. [ 492]
WHen Henry the fourth, that late King of France,* 1.1 vvas told of the King of
Spains ample Dominions; As first, he is King of Castile, and I (quoth
Henry)
am King of France; he is King of Navarre, and I am King of France; he
is King of Naples, and I am King of France; he is King of the Sicilia's, nova His∣pania,
of the Western India's, and I am King of France; he thought the Kingdom
of France equivalent to all those: So let the soul of every good Christian solace it
descriptionPage 124
selfe against all the wants of this mortall Pilgrimage in this, that it is a member of
the Church: one hath more learning or wit, yet I am a Christian; another hath more
honour or preferment in the world, yet I am a Christian; another hath more silver
and gold and riches, yet I am a Christian; another hath larger possessions, yet I have
an inheritance in heaven, I am a Christian: Were but this consideration of the true
Christians worth laid in the ballance of the Sanctuary it would weigh down all tempo∣rary
conceits whatsoever.
