[ 830] A worldly minded Man, no publique spirited Man.
IT is recorded of the K. of Navarre, then a Protestant,* 1.1 being pressed by Beza, to
appear more in the cause of God, and to own Religion to the purpose: He
makes answer to this effect, That he was their friend, but he resolved to put no fur∣ther
to Sea, then he might get to shore if a storm should arise▪ he resolved not to hazard
his hopes of the Crown of France, and it is well known what became of him: So
when men will make Religion as Twelve,* 1.2 and the World as Thirteen, it is no mar∣vail
if with Demas, they forsake the cause of God, and embrace the world; and with
those Potters in 1 Chron. had rather work with the King for good wages, than build
up the house of the Lord.
