Gallicinium complevit Christi vaticinium. The cock proved a preacher to Peter. Des∣pise not the Minister though never so mean: it is the foolishnesse of preaching that must bring men to heaven. Cocks call men out of their beds, and therehence have their name in the Greek tongue.* 1.1 They constantly keep the law of crowing at set times that nature hath enjoyned them: they cry loud and thick against a storm. So do faithfull Ministers, when gotten upon their battlements: they clap their own sides first, and then constantly call up others. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 cry aloud, and spare not, but lift up their voice like a trum∣pet, to tell Judah of their sinnes, &c. The roaring lion of hell trembleth at their note: and the worlds Sybantes cannot bear their disturbances, and therefore wish them banished. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 wisedome is justified of her children, and (though fierce be∣fore and untameable,) yet now a little childe shall lead them, Isa 11. 6.
