IT hath been said alwayes that the mean is best, and that the middle way is the golden way. But we see by experience that extremity beareth rule in this world: For every Vertue there are two Vices; we will be ei∣ther too curious or too careless: Either we cry Ho∣sanna, or Crucifie. Either Christ must not wash our feet, or else he must wash our feet and bodies toge∣ther. Either we say, tast not, touch not, for it is unclean; or
else we say, let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall dy. If we love, we over love, If we be fearfull, we are too fearfull, If angry, we are too angry.
Lord, give me grace to fear, but not to despair,* 1.1 to be angry, and not to sin; to decline from thy Statutes neither to the right hand nor to the left, Amen.
