And having two, to impart unto him that had none, Luk. 3. 11. intimating, that of their goods they were to be liberal to the poor. And if any would sue them at the Law, and take away their coat to let … have their cloak also, Mat. 5. 40.

Cock]
Hereof all the Evangelists make mention, where they mention Peters denyall, Mat. 26. 74. Mar. 14. 30. Luk. 22. 60. Joh. 18. 27. It's a proud fowl, and … himself stately. It's much dijected when vanquished by another; when victorious, triumpheth: When it goeth in at any place, it stoopeth, be the entrance never so high. It's of an hot nature, libidinous, jealou … careful and watchful of its young ones, for whom it will … against Kites, Snakes, &c. Upon the sight whereof it giveth them warning by his voice to look to themselves. It naturally knoweth the approach of the day, and thereof giveth warning once and again; which time is termed the Cock-crowing, Mar. 13. 35. Hereby it inciteth men to rise to work, as Gods Ministers must call men to repent, it respect of the approaching day of Judgement. And as the Cock put Peter in minde of his fall, so must Ministers their people of their sins. And as the Cock before in croweth rouseth it self, and clappeth with his wings, so must Gods Ministers, being to preach unto others, first stir up, reform themselves; manifest by their works, what their doctrine calleth for. They seem to be called foreign, as if it were foreign, as calling men and women from their beds. The Cock-crowing awaketh the sleeper, warneth the careful, terifieth the thief, comforteth and gladdeth the sick, them that are in pain, travellers, mariners, &c. It's also said to foresee tempests and change of weather. Travellers carrying a Cock along with them, are preserved from … and Basilisks. It's also laborious, and industrious, and valorous in fight, doing what it can to obtain the victory. Its brain taken in drink is said to be good against the biting of Serpents. Its crowing is more vehement and shrill at first (most being then asleep) then neer day, or when it's day light, when good husbands are awake: even when it feedeth, with the one eye it looks upward, to prevent the Hawk, Kite, &c. As the Cock preferreth a barley corn before a pearl, so do worldlings their mammon before heaven.
Cockatrice]
A Serpent, of all others the most dangerous, both to man and beast. Its bred (according to some) of the egge of an old Cock hatched by a Toad or Snake. On its head it hath risings adorned with whitish spots, … the manner of a diadem; and in going lifreth up on high the former part of its body, as if it went upright. It's so venomous, that neither beasts nor fowls dare … its dead body, whereof if any should eat, they die …, as also of any creature by it poysoned. It … the air, trees, plants, hearbs, what not? It killeth by its breath, by its sight. Such is the force of its poyson, that the hand of him who toucheth it with a staff is incurably infected; and if an horse do but touch it, the rider dyeth. It poysoneth all other Serpents, who seeing it, or hearing its hissing, flee speedily away. It loveth not the light, but darkness. Some say, that by seeing it self, it dieth; the Weasel killeth it, especially having eaten Rue or Hearb-agrace, and then dyeth, as Christ by death vanquished death. The Cock is also its enemy.
By Cockatrices may be understood, grievous enemies, Jer. 8. 17. Isa. 14. 29.
To sting like a Cockatrice, Prov. 23. 32. marg. is to bring most pernicious and dangerous evils.
By the Cockatrice egges, may be understood, the extreme malice of the wicked, Isa. 59. 5.
By the Childes putting his hand on the Cockatrice Den, Isa. 11. 8. is meant, either that the wicked after their conversion shall not be harmful as before; or, that the godly shall be preserved in the greatest dangers.
