THe
accursed
broode
of
CHAMS
generation
,
were
not
contented
in
the
Land
of
Shinar
,
to
make
bricke
and
morter
;
but
ioyning
with
NIMROD
,
saide
,
Let
vs
make
vs
a
SEM
,
which
signifieth
a
name
,
euen
in
despight
of
the
blessing
of
NOAH
bestowed
vpon
SEM.
All
Nations
,
ages
&
States
,
haue
bene
,
and
are
,
much
pestred
with
the
poisonous
humour
of
CHAMS
fugitiue
&
vnsetled
seed
,
who
shaking
off
all
yoake
of
obedience
,
and
prescription
of
painfull
trauel
in
any
peculier
calling
,
neuer
think
well
of
the
ordinary
blessings
they
reap
or
may
reape
,
by
their
due
&
daily
labours
:
but
setting
their
wittes
beyond
the
pitch
and
model
of
their
honest
vocations
,
And
of
names
,
none
can
so
much
please
them
as
the
title
and
stile
of
wittie
,
craftie
,
politique
trades
,
immitating
heerein
the
grand
deluder
:
for
as
Sathan
of
all
names
affecteth
moste
the
name
of
an
Angel
of
light
,
This
maketh
so
many
base
mechanicall
fellowes
,
to
fall
from
their
lasts
and
measures
,
to
measure
out
in
their
conceits
&
triuial
conferences
,
the
scopes
,
purposes
,
&
intents
of
the
secretest
&
deepest
misteries
of
the
moste
profound
statistes
,
and
not
onely
to
set
a
glosse
and
formall
interpretation
vpon
ordinarie
occurrences
of
the
state
,
and
to
presse
out
with
them
vaine
and
idle
additions
&
quotations
,
of
their
owne
addle
&
worme-eaten
braines
,
but
touching
the
very
Edicts
,
Proclamations
,

conclusions
betwixt
the
State

Nations
,
Emittunt
vices

which
cost
them
their
necks
,
and
vtterly

Quelles
nouelles
is
the
onely
orisons
they
vse
morning
and
euening
:
their
onely
salutations
,
their
onely
graces
.
They
know
all
things
,
else
how
should
they
bee
accounted
statesmen
,
both
what
is
done
and
spoken
in
the
court
,
&
in
the
center
of
the
court
,
and
which
is
wonderfull
,
that
which
was
neuer
done
not
spoken
,
and
that
makes
their
newes
euer
new
and
fresh
,
for
it
comes
but
from
the
gate
of
their
owne
inuentions
.
They
are
priuy
to
the
consultations
of
the
Senate
:
embassages
of
Princes
are
familiar
with
them
:
intercourse
of
marchants
affaires
,
scarce
accounted
matters
worth
the
discourse
:
France
,
Italie
,
Spaine
,
can
keep
no
Parliament
,
without
their
intermixture
of
voyces
,
nor
this
state
holde
anye
sect
of
Parliament
,
without
their
verdict
:
these
are
the
inseperable
companions
of
the
realto
pillars
,
the
flies
of
the
greate
feasts
,
Epicures
third
course
to
helpe
digestion
,
superstitious
idolaters
of
Saint
PAVL
(
and
yet
neuer
think
of
PAVL
nor
any
Apostle
)
and
many
of
them
haue
that
famous
monument
in
that
account
as
DIOGINES
had
IOVIS
PORTICVS
in
Athens
,
who
tould
them
,
which
wondered
that
he
had
no
house
nor
corner
to
eat
his
meat
in
;
pointing
at
the
gallerie
or
walking
place
that
was
called
IOVIS
PORTICVS
,
said
,
that
the
people
of
Athens
had
builded
that
to
his
vse
,
as
a
royall
mansion
for
him
,
wherein
he
might
dine
&
sup
and
take
his
repast
.
And
so
these
make
Paules
like
EVCLIDES

PLATOES

DIOGINES
accounted
it

DIOGINES

and
are
faithfull
and
frequent
guests
of
Duke
HVMPHRAY

And
surely
as
that
wise
prince
who
adiudged
his
corrupt
Seruant
who
sould
lip-labour
and
smoake
at
a
deare
rate
,
to
be
stiffled
with
smoake
;
so
might
it
be
wished
that
these
idle
busiemarchants
of
ayre
and
ventosity
of
words
,
might
be
either
pricked
like
bladders
,
with
the
sharpe
rasor
of
some
seueere
lawe
,
There
are
another
sorte
of
vnletterd
ignorants
,
who
affect
the
title
of
politicians
,
and
are
so
accounted
of
giddy
muddye
,
and
shallowe
conceits
,
who
see
no
more
then
that
is
obuious
to
their
outward
eye
sight
:
&
iudge
all
things
by
their
effects
consider
not
the
meanes
by
which
they
were
effected
:
Among
the
number
of
these
(
that
I
may
not
speake
of
neerer
presidents
)
is
ranckt
,
that
rancke
smelling
Pole-cat
of
impure
and
prophane
pollicies
,
RICHARD
the
third
,
for
it
is
well
knowne
,
And
a
second
to
him
may
bee
(
if
not
a
brother
twinne
,
But
heerein
consisteth
the
iudgement
such
ignorant
and
vnlettered
affectators
of
the
title
of
Polititians
fall
into
:

A
second
sort
are
such
as
through
the
priuiledge
of
their
learning
and
Schollership
,
attribute
vnto
them-selues
the
stile
of
Politicians
.
Carendo
potius
quamfru
endo
distinguntur
,
their
vse
is
best
discerned
by
their
want
.
But
learning
is
like
to
fire
&
water
,
That
made
Diogines
very
iustly
(
in
my
opinion
)
to
affirme
,
For
the
wit
of
man
is
appliable
,
and
apt
to
all
goodnes
,
if
it
be
exercised
and
inured
therewithall
,
but
if
it
fall
from
his
right
kinde
to
vice
,
then
is
a
man
worse
then
a
brute
beaste
in
regard
that
a
beast
doth
but
beastly
acording
to
kinde
,
That
I
may
not
of
these
speak
confusedly
&
without
order
,
I
will
reduce
the
first
sort
of
them
to
these
heades
.
Either
vaine
phanaicall
scribling
Poets
,
Or
cunny-catching
&
prating
Trauailers
.
And
the
second
sort
to
these
heads
.
Either
out-landish
starters
&
Rouers
from
their
obedience
and
loyaltie
vsually
called
Iesuites
and
Seminaries
,
or
close
house-keeping
,
either
vaine-glorious
or
selfe
pleasing
,
or
malignant
,
enuious
,
turbulent
proiectors
,
and
plotters
of
policies
and
deuises

an

forth

such

delight

no

folly

But
some
of

themselues
from
the

writers
of

betake
themselues
to
a

more
satiricall
forme
of
writing
and
therefore
vnder
the
pretence
of
whipping
the
vices
of
people
,
with
a
pen
fuller
of
gall
,
And
if
they
had
attained
either
learning
or
obseruation
in
state
affaires
,
and
true
policie
(
the
repute
whereof
many
of
them
so
much
affect
)
they
would
houlde
their
pens
from
the
affaires
and
actions
of
statesmen
,
beeing
indeede

Concerning
Trauailers
.
THat
of
Horace
,
Caelum
non
animum
mutat
qui
trans
mare
currit
,
hee
that
changeth
his
soyle
,
changeth
not
his
soule
,
was
wel
noted
of
SOCRATES
.
For
SOCRATES
hearing
a
certaine
person
complaining
,
that
his
trauelling
into
strange
Countries
for
learning
&
knowledge
,
had
nothing
auailed
him
,
answered
that
it
chanced
vnto
him
very
deseruedly
for
that
he
either
applyed
himselfe
to
the
company
of
idle
runagating
fellowes
or
else
mewed
himselfe
vp
,
and
kept
priuate
,
as
if
he
tooke
phisicke
,
thinking
that
the
ayre
of
a
strange
country
would
infuse
strange
languages
,
riper
Witte
,
This
haue
manye
Iewellers
,
Phisitians
,
young
vntamed
Gentlemen
,
Schollers
pregnant
,
but
vnskilfull
of
the
course
of
the
worlde
,
had
woefull
experience
of
.
pericran
yon
of
the
wisest
and
soundest
heads
,
and
lastly
must
be
furnished
with
such
iudgement
,
as
may
make
him
able
in
a
moment
,
to
discerne
a
redde
from
a
stammell
,
and
not
to
spend
either
time
or
coste
vppon
any
vain-glorious
,
friuolous
,
deluding
mountibankes
,
and
showemakers
of
policy
,
and
state-learning
.
Now
forasmuch
as
many
haue
a
good
will
to
learne
,
and
want
wit
to
conceaue
,
and
abilitie
to
temper
their
affections
,
and
maister
and
ouer-rule
their
vnbridled
partes
,
and
many
hauing
a
good
and
ready
wit
,
and
abilitie
to
fit
their
humours
to
all
occasions
,
yet
diuert
,
and
incline
both
their
wit
&
will
to
sinister
&
bye
courses
,
the
former
sorte
prooue
nothing
wiser
but
in
shew
,
the
other
onely
wiser
in
wicked
and
crafty
contriuances
,
and
yet
both
must
returne
great
states-men
and
politicians
.
Porpheries
predicables
,
and
predicaments
,
&
by
a
sophisticated
argument
can
include
(
scarce
conclude
)
their
fathers
scullion
at
their
return
home
in
Bocardo
,
think
themselues
learned
enough
,
but
more
like
base
timerous
motly
Crosse
wearers
(
for
they
are
not
worthy
the
title
of
Soldiers
)
such
as
Alexander
had
at

or

or
rock
in

so
impregnable
as
they
admired
,
but
feared
to
venter
vpon
it
)
who
hauing
looked
vppon
the
country
,
But
these
affecting
Politicians
are
least
offensiue
to
the
state
,
beeing
onely
selfe
pleasers
of
their
owne
vaine
&
idle
humours
,
except
in
this
regard
they
bee
hurtful
,
that
beeing
like
Cipresse
trees
,
neither
good
for
building
,
nor
bearing
fruite
:
with
their
faire
leaues
they
ouershadow
better
mens
roomes
and
places
.
The
latter
sorte
of
trauellers
are
more
troublesome
and
noysome
to
the
common
wealth
,
for
they
hauing
both
wit
and
abilitie
to
ad
to
their
studie
in
state-learning
good
&
profitable
obseruations
,
by
trauelling
into
other
countries
and
returning
not
onely
well
furnished
with
many
helpes
of
learned
and
forraine
languages
,
The
ordinarie
and
generall
propositions
maximees
,
and
enter
course
of
state
affaires
,
Euerie
man
that
can
looke
(
as
DEMOSTHENES
saide
to
the
ATHENIANS
of
PHILOXENVS
his
arriual
)
against
a
candle
,
may
not
thinke
his
eyes
firme
enough
to
gaze
against
the
Sun
:
onely
of
the
deepe
discerning
politician
it
must
be
saide
,
tam
cernit
acutim
quam
aut
aquila
aut
serpens
Epidaurius
,
such
as
haue
such
insight
into
the
State
as
by
indirections
they
can
finde
directions
out
,
though
they
were
hid
fathome
deepe
.
Euerie
man
can
say
that
a
good
Chyrurgion
must
sometimes
launch
deepe
,
sometimes
infuse
oyle
into
a
wound
,
but
none
but
a
perfect
&
skilful
chyrurgian
cantel
when
to
distinguish
those
different
times
and
seasons
.
Euerie
Apothecarie
&
hearbist
can
discourse
that
this
hearb
is
good
for
that
greefe
,
and
that
for
another
,
but
to
draw
poison
from
the
roote
,
and
to
make
a
pleasant
sallet
from
the
vpper
part
of
one
and
the
selfe
same
hearb
,
belongeth
onely
to
a
most
skilfull
&
experienced
Phisition
:
so
these
by
reading
,
obseruation
and
conference
,
had
with
learned
&
wisemen
abroad
,
can
relate
that
it
is
prescribed
sometimes
to
haue
as
graue
a
countenance
as
Phoci
on
or
Democritus
,
Lyourg
us
himselfe
allowed
,
sometimes
a
merry
and
cheereful
behauiour
:
but
when
to
be
sad
of
gesture
,
&
when
to
smile
,
and
giue
place
to
mirth
,
and
laughter
,
they
can
hardly
prescribe
themselues
that
moderation
.
For
their
mirth
and
pleasant
Iocondnes
moste
commonly
tasteth
of
Scurilitie
,
wantonnes
and
apish
effeminatenes
:
&
their
sadnesse
ful
of
affectation
and
harboring
,
not
so
deepe
,
as
dangerous
matters
touching
the
state
.
They
haue
obserued
by
reading
good
histories
and
conference
,
that
IVLIVS
CAESAR
said
,
that
matters
of
high
enterprise
,
Domitius
Corbulo
his
opinion
of
war
.
that
a
mans
enemies
in
battaile
were
to
be
ouercome
with
a
carpenters
squaring
axe
,
that
is
to
say
soking
lye
,
one
peece
after
another
,
and
by
both
these
obseruations
laide
together
,
can
perhaps
at
their
returne
in
their
conferences
drawe
out
these
conclusions
,
that
a
Statseman
either
in
matters
of
war
or
imployments
of
peace
,
must
sometimes
be
sudden
,
sometimes
full
of
deliberation
,
sometimes
slowe
,
sometimes
peremptorie
,
and
resolute
:
but
if
they
were
admitted
to
particuler
designements
of
such
or
the
like
state
difficulties
,
as
often
happen
to
the
deuiding
Iudgement
of
graue
&
experienced
States-men
,
either
in
matters
of
peace
or
war
,
they
would
be
as
farre
to
seeke
when
to
cut
with
a
common
axe
,
which
goes
through
at
the
first
chop
,
&
when
to
vse
the
squaring
axe
,
which
worketh
the
same
effect
by
little
and
little
,
as
how
to
vse
the
Carpenters
Square
,
or
Axe
,
without
cutting
their
legges
off
.
If
therefore
they
would
according
to
SOCRATES
his
precept
,
(
who
thoght
it
most
against
reason
for
any
man
to
set
vp
any
handy-craft
or
occupation
before
such

he
had
throughly
learned
the
same

sit

holde

had

and
perfect
experience

feate
of

themselues
to
the
skilfull
and
expert
Card-men
of
a

Apothecaries
haue
many
bundles
of
moste
eccellent
receipts
hanging
vp
in
their
shops

such

they

attained

the

of

Concerning

PRoiectors
!
why
,
what
are
they
?
If
you
desire
to
know
them
better
,
they
are
such
as
haue
not
like
Philosophers
made
a
proiection
of
goulde
,
but
caste
awaye
their
goulden
thrifte
and
estates
thorough
some
loose
and
indirect
courses
;
and
to
repaire
it
againe
,
take
the
direct
lineway
to
the
court
,
If
you
desire
to
knowe
them
further
,
they
are
Pedlers
,
or
Pedling
informers
of
the
State
,
men
that
haue
lapped
vp
from
the
vommit
of
other
mens
wits
,
some
excrements
of
Court-phrases
,
and
thereuppon
turne
Factors
about
the

&

Proiects
and
strange
deuises
of

,
Cardas
finas
,
brown

,
french
wares
,
dunghill
shrids
,
and
a
thousand
of
the
like
conceites
,
to
trouble
the
State
withall
,
wherein
they
labour
and
trot
vp
&
down
as
busily
as
Bees
,
carrying
all
the
worlde
in
conceite
,
that
they
haue
such
speciall
imployments
about
the
State
,
as
will
let
them
rest
neither
night
nor
day
.
And
truly
they
are
right
Marchants
,
for
the
trading
to
the
East
and
West
Indies
gets
but
a
liuing
,
and
their
trading
from
their
lodgings
to
the
Court
with
a
bundell
of
papers
,
and
from
the
Courte
to
their
Lodgings
begets
them
,
like
East
and
West
voyages
,
a
yearely
,
yea
daylie
reuennewe
.
For
to
the
expectation
of
their
prosperous
and
happye
successe
,
many
healthes
are
drunk
,
and
much
good
cheere
dayly
tasted
:
Their
Mercer
,
their
Taylor
,
their
Shoomaker
,
their
ostes
,
their
patients
,
are
drawne
by
hoopes
of
their
court
aduentures
,
&
faire
shewes
and
pretenses
to
trust
and
furnish
them
with
all
necessaries
,
ad
victum
et
vestitum
,
and
are
induced
to
let
their
fingers
bee
keyes
of
their
coffers
while
all
is
spent
;
but
when
their
patients
and
their
Creditors
through
ouer-long
deferring
(
for
their
proiects
are
like
the
houre
Saturne
,
that
finisheth
his
course
but
once
in
three
yeares
,
nay
these
scarce
one
of

or
come
forward
once
in

)
are
rubde
to
the
quicke
;
either
a
new
nayle
must
driue
out
the
other
,
or
else
being
known
to
be
silenced
and
their
proiects
eiected
as
matters
vnworthy
to
passe
the
Seates
of
graue
Audience
,
much
lesse
the
seates
of

,
they
spitefullye
fret

in
their
secret
corners
mutter
,
that
fewe
or
none
of
the
state
were
able
to
vnderstand
,
or
sound
to
the
depth
of
their
proiects
.
Will
you
now
know
who
are
their
retayners
?
Lice
and
Mice
are
said
by
DIOGINES
to
be
poore
mens
retainers
&
followers
,
The
second
sort
of
proiectors
,
are
such
as
the
Philosopher
spoake
of
,
but
to
a
better
end
;
who
were
euer
towards
wiuing
and
yet
maried
not
,
that
were
alwaies
in
a
readines
to
saile
on
the
sea
,
and
yet
tooke
no
Shippe
,
that
addressed
themselues
to
enter
into
the
busines
of
the
common
wealth
,
&
yet
entred
not
into
anye
honest
imployments
at
all
,
that
had
prepared
and
framed
(
but
like
women
dum
moliunter
et

,
while
they
are
a
dressing
and
a

,
one

ride

themselues
to
be
in
the
Court
,
and
to
liue
in
house-holde
with
men
of
high
State
&
great
power
,
and
yet
were
loath
forsooth
to
be
tyed
to
subiection
,
&
daily
attendance
.
And
yet
not-withstanding
they
will
be
dayly
Courtiers
and
Politicke
directors
too
.
For
either
they
will
frame
&
apply
themselues
,
though
in
no
wise
to
be
daily
attendants
and
seruants
(
for
that
's
too
grosse
,
and
too
abhorring
from
the
french
strayne
)
but
to
be
followers
and
directors
,
Tutors
and
Instructors
of
young
noble-men
,
such
as
are
rawe
and
vntrained
in
the
subtil
courses
of
this
age
,
preferring
alwaies
matters
of
pleasures
and
delight
to
their
pitchie
aprehensions
,
&
in
that
respect
proue
no
better
many
times
then
their
panders
,
or
if
they
cannot
thriue
so
to
their
full
content
,
they
vulture-like
seeke
out
the
cadauera
,
and
ceaze
vpon
the
soares
of
discontented
nobles
,
and
prescribe
them
lessons
&
precepts
of
more
discontentment
and
enuie
.
And
to
gaine
neerer
engagement
with
them
,
These
are
the
verie
viperous
Phalangia
and
Cantherides
of
Nobilitie
:
The
Phylosophers
called
such
men
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
little
pushes
and
pimples
of
glory
,
and
rightly
:
for
as
they
through
their
continuall
itch
bred
perpetuall
vnrest
,
and
vnquietnes
to
such
as
were
affected
with
them
,
so
doe
these
preceptors
of
vaine
glory
and
discontent
,
beget
in
noble
and
free
spirits
nothing
but
an
itching
humour
of
putting
them
forward
to
desperate
and
Polipus-like
practises
,
being
made
by
their
plotters
,
&
instructers
but
the
stages
and
actors
of
their
wickedly
contriued
,
either
malicious
or
vaine-glorious
or
ambitious
purposes
,
and
like
pushes
they
in
the
end
prooue
vnto
them
,
for
when
they
breake
out
into
publique
note
and
viewe
,
the
filthe
and
matter
of
their
long
harbored
&
hidden
hearts
motions
,
runs
about
the
vnspotted
&
vnblemisht
faces
of
their
fames
,
&
honor
,
and
so
infects
them
,
that
the
scarres
&
Cicatrices
thereof
can
hardly
euer
be
salued
&
healed
vp
againe
:
but
I
rather
liken
such
men
to
impostumes
in
the
throat
or
stomack
,
which
as
experience
teacheth
vs
,
are
not
seene
nor
discerned
,
but
take
a
man
suddainely
when
the
worlde
thinkes
all
sounde
and
healthfull
within
the
party
diseased
,
and
breake
out
in
a
moment
,
with
such
aboundance
of
corruption
,
as
dispatcheth
him
before
his
friends
,
who
stand
all
amazed
at
the
suddaine
mischance
,
can
conceaue
which
way
to
seeke
remedie
,
or
what
remedie
to
apply
.
So
these
harboring
and
setling
by
their
false
surmises
,
and
crude
and
imperfect
suggestions
,
within
the
stomackes
and
mawes
of
noble
Gentlemen
,
corrupt
impostumes
of

,
applye
flegmaticke

and
dayly

of
indisgested
misprisions
,
and
vnkinde

,
which
being
suffered
to
feede
within
them
to

,
breake
forth
suddainely
into
such
disorder
,
(
euen
when
all
is

sound
at

of

as
irrecouerably
casteth

Concerning
substan
tiall
States-men
.
THere
are
many
can
talk
very
freely
of
incountring
with
Lyons
,
and
wrastling
with
Beares
,
who
dare
looke
neither
in
the
face
.
And
as
many
that
vainely
will
predicate
and
boast
of
great
learning
and
vnderstanding
in
the
deepest
affaires
of
the
State
,
who
can
not
guide
the
Triremes
much
lesse
the
Quinquiremes
of
of
any
weightie
imployment
.
The
ouerweening
conceite
whereof
,
maketh
some
who
haue
read
ouer
a
peece
of
Aristotles
politicks
,
to
deeme
it
no
vsurpation
,
to
ascribe
vnto
themselues
the
title
of
Politicians
.
And
if
they
haue
turned
ouer
some
few
leaues
of
ISOCRATES
short
precepts
,
or
but
4
sides
of
SEXTVS
IVLIVS
FRONTINVS
,
his
foure
bookes
of
Stratagems
,
superciliose
contrahunt
frontem
,
They
cast
their
heads
ouer
the
left
shoulder
,
they
thinke
themselues
seated
and
enthroaned
in
the
brest
of
MINERVA
,
bred
in
APPOLLO
his
braines
,
and
able
to
mannage
any
publike
affaires
:
verie
substantiall
States-men
.
But
little
doe
they
know
what
deepe
and
secret
misteries
,
are
to
be
found
in
Court-learning
,
and
how
different
from
Schoole
tearmes
.
For
howsoeuer
the
gouernment
of
court
and
common-wealth
came
from
the
rules
of
philosophie
,
&
to
them
must
indeed
refer
their
offpring
,
yet
because
the
treaties
of
Philosophers
consist
in
a
generall
consideration
of
thinges
,
they
leaue
to
euerie
one
that
readeth
them
a
scope
of
his
owne
opinion
and
interpretation
,
whereas
the
Lawes
and
perticuler
obseruations
confirmed
and
established
in
either
court
or
the
vniuersall
state
,
make
them
cease
as
Philosophicall
discourses
to
bee
adiudged
opinitiuely
tru
or
false
,
for
they
set
downe
positiuely
this
is
granted
and
approoued
by
generall
consent
of
the
wisest
and
profoundest
Statists
good
or
badde
,
and
so
fouldes
vs
within
assured
boundes
,
which
if
wee
might
passe
in
breach
,
as
schollers
turne
them
vp
and
downe
in
the
vncertaintie
of
their
opinions
&
argumentations
,
our
natures
would
range
infinitely
into
all
enormities
,
and
disorders
.
Princes
affaires
must
not
be
ordered
by
a
free
discourse
of
reason
,
but
the
gouernment
of
their
estates
must
bee
tyed
,
either
to
the
customes
,
Lawes
,
&
municipall
statutes
of
their
countries
already
established
&
ratified
;
or
to
the
profound
and
discerning
iudgement
of
discreete
,
wise
,
and
experienced
rulers
,
which
being
granted
,
they
whose
skill
consists
more
in
what
they
haue
read
,
then
what
they
haue
with
a
digested
Iudgement
obserued
conuenient
for
euerie
function
and
office
of
publique
gouernment
,
cannot
bee
reputed
fit
for
the
managing
of
Court
businesse
,
beeing
indeede
depriued
of
the
chiefest
helpe
of
their
seuerall
imployments
,
which
is
a
iudgement
prest
&
alwaies
prouided
,
distinguishingly
to
order
,
settle
and
dispose
all
affaires
and
occurrences
of
a
State
,
which
cannot
be
in
him
that
is
continually
incombred
,
and
enfolded
within
the
multiplicitie
of
contemplatiue
studies
.
For
though
varietie
of
reading
and
turning
ouer
many
learned
authors
,
is
a
great
help
to
all
other
scholer-like
professions
;
as
diuinitie
,
For
,
as
DEMOSTHENES
saide
of
pronountiation
in
an
Oratour
,
so
may
I
say
in
a
States-man
,
that
iudgement
is
the
first
,
the
second
,
and
the
last
,
yea
all
in
all
requisite
,
without
which
no
man

neuer

in

busines
,
can
be
able
to
proue
excellent
,
or
almost
fit
to
rule
the
Horses
of
the
sun
,
or
pull
in
and
let
out
,
as
the
necessitie
and
circumstance
of
time
,
place
,
and
persons
doe
require
,
the
raines
of
any
state
gouernment
.
There
haue
bene
many
noted
in
all
states
,
euen
by
the
instinct
and
helpe
of
Nature
and
experience
,
to
haue
prooued
most
excellent
and
woorthy
common-wealths-men
,
hauing
had
small
or
little
furnishing
of
booke
learning
.
And
questionlesse
a
man
may
well
applying
himselfe
to
the
study
of
State-affaires
,
be
furthered
by
conuersing
&
reading
of
Historicall
and
Stratagemicall
studies
,
that
hath
an
excellent
witte
and
Iudgement
to
applye
and
make
vse
of
the
same
in
his
particular
affaires
,
without
much
expence
of
time
;
but
it
is
impossible
for
anye
Man
,
neuer
so
much
backed
with
the
instructions
of
politicke
Authors
,
without
this
speciall
guift
of
iudgement
,
in
obseruing
euerie
fit
&
conuenient
Particular
,
touching
his
seuerall
imployments
,
to
prooue
excellent
in
the
study
&
profession
of
perfect
State-knowledge
:
and
whosoeuer
shall
bee
admitted
to
state
imployments
rawly
vpon
booke
rules
,
without
long
experience
&
obseruation
,
shall
be
found
to
sinck
vnder
the
burden
of
their
deep
vndertakinges
,
&
make
themselues
&
their
liues
both
a
perpetuall
slauery
&
vexation
,
&
a
continual
mockery
&
scorne
.
For
like
rash
and
headdy
captaines
imployments
(
that
may
be
said
rather
cursibus
quam
victoriis
nationes
peragrare
,
course
through
,
rather
then
conquer
many
nations
)
so
will
all
their
actions
appeare
,
&
be
approoued
to
the
wisest
&
experiencedst
Statists
most
slightly
performed
.
For
how
is
it
possible
for
a
man
that
intendeth
to
learne
&
draw
out
the
scituation
of
any
countrye
,
to
take
a
perfect
and
exact
description
of
the
particulers
,
by
making
certaine
suddaine
ranging
,
sleight
&
cursory
notes
of
the
same
?
no
man
of
sense
or
iudgement
doth
conceaue
it
possible
.
And
who
can
recollect
and
draw
all
these
accidents
and
a
thousand
more
,
properlye
and
most
necessarily
belonging
to
a
perfect
&
compleat
substantial
States-mans
vnderstanding
,
to
their
seueral
lines
and
places
,
without
an
extraordinarye
reach
and
applying
iudgement
,
which
must
be
the
hand
to
direct
the
pensill
of
euerie
necessarie
and
fit
occurrence
.
It
is
the
heat
of
cleere
and
pure
burning
iudgement
,
which
like
fire
seuereth
&
deuideth
vpon
all
occasions
the
drosse
from
the
pure
golde
,
which
distinguisheth
solide
pearles
from
liquid
haile-stones
,
manacles
from
bracelets
,
busines
of
incombrance
and
insnaring
designements
from
imployments
full
of
honour
,
credit
,
safetie
,
and
reputation
.
It
is
iudgement
,
which
maketh
a
man
admitted
to
the
state
absolutely
powerfull
,
like
a
perfect
Phisition
,
instructed
with
al
maner
of
perfect
skil
,
to
apply
a
soueraigne
and
precious
salue
,
to
euery
particular
sore
of
the
common-wealth
.
This
discerning
iudgement
,
will
teach
and
instruct
him
infalliblye
that
hath
obtained
the
same
,
how
to
behaue
himselfe
in
all
the
courses
and
affayres
of
his
life
,
in
such
sort
,
as
hee
shall
moste
easilye
distinguish
errors
from
truth
,
and
deuide
that
which
is
profitable
and
conuenient
from
that
which
is
hurtfull
and
offensiue
to
his
future
and
present
estate
.
This
will
enforme
him
,
when
all
schoole-points
will
faile
him
(
like
false
friendes
in
aduersitie
)
how
to
beare
himself
in
the
most
dangerous
&
doubtful
times
,
that
his
life
shal
be
subiect
vnto
.
For
although
good
precepts
of
wise
men
,
and
learned
instructions
of
philosophers
,
are
firme
grounds
to
set
a
ciuill
man
in
the
right
way
,
for
his
ordinary
conuersation
,
and
the
directions
of
profound
Politicians
may
verye
well
,
(
by
adding
thereunto
his
owne
wary
obseruations
)
point
out
a
fit
and
correspondent
behauiour
for
al
sorts
of
people
,
and
which
in
gesture
,
speeche
,
and
outward
graces
and
complements
,
may
sufficiently
warrant
his
cariage
to
Prince
,
to
Parents
,
to
friends
,
to
seruants
,
to
superiours
,
to
inferiours
,
yet
let
him
knowe
if
euer
he
shall
be
admitted
to
the
managing
many
doubtful
&
scrupulous
points
of
a
publike
state
,
wherin
shall
depend
either
the
ruin
or
the
preseruation
of
the
weale
publique
,
or
if
not
so
,
a
great
rent
or
stroak
may
be
giuen
by
ill
aduise
,
as
contrarywise
a
great
heape
of
honour
may
arise
to
himselfe
,
and
good
to
the
common-wealth
,
by
wise
and
well
succeeding
counsell
,
therein
to
haue
a
cleere
iudgement
,
far
surpassing
all
others
,
wherby
he
may
be
able
to
vnderstand
,
of
many
courses
,
which
(
acording
to
the
diuersitie
of
many
mens
opinions
)
shal
be
propounded
:
which
is
not
onely
the
likeliest
,
but
certainely
the
best
,
argues
not
a
man
wel
red
in
books
,
or
studiously
conuersant
in
other
mens
directions
,
and
obseruations
,
(
for
many
accidents
fall
out
and
are
offered
to
the
consideration
of
a
man
occupied
in
the
deep
designes
of
the
common-wealth
whereof
he
shall
finde
no
likelihood
of
example
,
or
patterne
to
cut
out
his
present
actions
by
)
but
a
singular
eminencie
of
wit
and
iudgement
,
diuinely
inspired
from
God
aboue
.
And
whosoeuer
can
be
able
to
cast
,
not
onely
an
eye-sight
but
an
insight
into
the
behauiour
and
cariage
of
such
a
man
,
vppon
whome
God
hath
bestowed
this
discerning
and
all-deuiding
iudgement
,
his
seuerall
actions
and
respects
shall
not
seeme
to
him
actions
smelling
of
lanthorne
and
candle
,
or
sauouring
of
learned
authors
&
discourses
(
for
many
,
yea
most
who
can
say
much
more
(
as
I
noated
)
out
of
ancient
histories
&
booke-obseruations
,
often
see
lesse
in
diiudicating
perticular
state-cases
)
but
the
behauiours
respects
&
cariages
of
a
man
through
his
quicke
and
Eagle-like-sight
of
iudgement
,
firmly
resolued
in
al
doubtful
causes
,
to
sticke
to
one
course
:
for
that
is
the
very
life
of
al
State-wisedome
,
suddainely
and
in
a
trice
,
to
attaine
to
a
resolution
in
al
determinations
propounded
.
For
many
are
in
shewe
very
wise
,
in
conference
very
profound
,
in
maters
of
difference
very
acute
&
subtil
,
banding
to
and
froe
now
one
reason
,
then
an
other
,
and
those
very
plausible
and
likely
,
but
for
want
of
this
iudgement
or
rather
iudicious
resolution
(
which
in
a
statesman
hath
the
prime
and
principall
seat
,
when
sentence
definitiuely
is
to
be
pronounced
,
cannot
so
easily
sticke
to
one
course
and
proiect
,
as
finde
out
many
.
And
yet
many
of
these
nimble-headed
and
quicke-conceited
wisemen
,
(
which
I
neuer
maruell
at
,
because
I
knowe
by
experience
that
the
greatest
hindrance
to
perfect
wisedome
is
to
be
puffed
vp
with
a
high
conceit
of
ones
owne
wit
and
proper
vnderstanding
)
hauing
inflamed
braines
and
heated
imaginations
,
to
a
promptnes
and
volubilitie
of
speach
,
account
,
in
respect
of
themselues
,
all
others
fooles
:
so
excellent
seemes
to
them
the
lightning
(
for
I
cannot
call
it
light
)
of
their
wit
and
reasoning
(
for
I
cannot
call
it
reason
and
iudgement
)
and
halfe
drunken
facultie
of
belching
out
at
their
ordinaries
&
pots
,
ordinarie
&
triuiall
conceits
:
and
happily
(
that
I
may
giue
the
best
of
them
some
respect
)
for
the
inuention
of
many
plots
and
stratagems
,
these
hot
braines
,
are
far
excellenter
,
then
iudicious
and
deepe
reaching
and
experienced
Statists
,
but
when
they
come
to
the
execution
of
weighty
causes
:
such
as
may
either
helpe
or
hinder
them
for
euer
,
either
in
publike
or
their
owne
priuate
negotiations
,
such
a
dizinesse
,
and
dim
darnesse
ouer-shadowes
the
true
light
of
iudgement
(
which
is
by
them
sildom
exercised
)
as
you
may
obserue
them
(
like
birds
in
Snow
)
fall
when
the
Sunne
is
at
the
highest
of
his
strength
,
into
moste
apparant
dangers
,
and
run
with
fierce
speede
into
their
aduersaries
nets
.
And
thus
much
may
suffice
to
haue
spoken
as
wel
of
the
painted
professors
of
State-learning
,
as
of
the
true

perfect
Statistes
of

by

I

my

Howsoeuer

the

you
must
attribute
to
my

the

of
a
weak

which
according

the
rules
of

many

alter

want

abound

you

With

I

I

conceiued
both
plaustrum

a
carrefull
of

moste

vncontrowleable
descriptions
of

such

The
pleasure
and
profit
I
haue
drawne
from
your
precedent
Politique
discourses
,
emboldeneth
mee
to
inioyne
you
to
a
new
trouble
,
before
I
haue
giuen
you
anye
content
or
repayment
for
your
former
manifolde
courtesies
.
Your
pen
hath
led
my
conceit
into
a
groue
or
thicket
of
many
vse-ful
but
generall
obseruations
,
but
if
you
leaue
my
tender
yeares
,
without
your
Ariadnes
thred
of
conduction
,
your
loue
will
prooue
wrongfull
distraction
,
and
an
exposing
of
my
vnsetled
thoughts
,
to
the
wilde
beasts
of
disturbance
.
Therefore
I
must
intreat
your
louing
Conuoy
,
for
the
setling
me
in
the
safe
and
plaine
way
of
some
particular
precepts
:
and
as
you
haue
set
downe
the
ground
worke
of
a
true
and
perfect
States-man
,
as
also
the
Cyclopaedia
which
most
powerfully
ruleth
and
must
be
made
the
chiefe
and
principall
workeman
in
all
affaires
of
ciuil
&
politicke
gouernment
,
by
him
which
intendeth
to
be
regarded
for
his
wise
carriage
in
any
religious
common-wealth
:
so
you
wold
take
paines
to
ad
to
those
general
propositions
,
some
fewe
particular
precepts
,
which
as
sea-markes
may
inable
mee
in
this
infidelious
age
,
to
shun
&
auoid
such
rocks
&
quick-sands
of
treachery
&
deceipt
,
as
high
fortunes
&
estats
are
ordinary
subiect
vnto
.
For

as
such
persons
as
haue
to
do
in

of

,
haue
in
a
redines
certaine

pointes
&
waies
both
to
catch
hold
,
&
also
to
winde
out
of
their

foyle

:
so
must
they
who
intend
to
trauel
in
the
busines
&
occupations
of
peace
&
war
,
of
necessity
haue
in
readines
(
according

Erasm

his

sure

by
which
they
may
be
put

is
in

requests
,
as
powerfull
and
absolute
commaundes
)
yet
lupum
auribus
teneo
,
through
this
your
motion
I
am
driuen
into
such
commotion
,
as
my
sicknesse
more
disquieteth
not
my
body
,
then
this
demurr
&
dependance
disordereth
my
thoghts
.
To
deny
you
,
the
sense
of
gratitude
,
of
ciuility
,
debarreth
me
;
to
yeeld
,
the
weightines
of
the
imposure
,
a
burden
which
I
am
no
way
able
to
discharge
with
anye
warrantable
account
of
credit
,
and
the
qualitye
of
the
suite
,
and
businesse
propounded
,
vtterly
deterres
me
.
For
to
take
vppon
mee
to
point
out
particlar
lessons
,
&
instructions
,
such
as
may
bee
directors
to
a
man
of
that
state
and
fortunes
,
(
as
both
by
your
noble
order
and
rank
,
and
much
more
by
your
diligence
and
studye
in
liberall
Artes
and
faculties
of
the
deepest
misteries
of
learning
,
is
likelye
,
and
altogether
hoped
and
expected
to
bee
deriued
vppon
you
)
were
to
note
out
a
Caesar-like
ambition
in
my
thoughts
and
would
certainely
lay
my
folly
and
weakenesse
open
to
much
scorne
and
derision
.
And
againe
,
(
beloued
Sir
)
the
gouernment
of
a
publike
State
,
you
must
consider
is
like
to
a
ship
at
sea
,
continualy
tossed
with
vncertaine
waues
and
surgees
,
euen
as
the
more
vncertaine
windes
and
State-tempests
of
sudain
motions
and
accidentall
alterations
,
and
diuulsions
daily
arising
one
in
the
necke
of
another
,
shall
affect
it
:
and
therefore
no
sure
or
certaine
directions
can
be
prefixed
and
Prescribed
to
drawe
the
particular
lines
of
a
states-mans
life
and
actions
by
,
your
owne
daily
obseruations
,
when
you
shall
be
admitted
to
action
,
wil
be
surer
and
perfecter
Preceptors
vnto
you
,
then
any
the
most
experienced
states-mans
rules
and
precepts
:
and
from
me
,
how
can
you
thinke
(
being
neuer
admitted
to
the
practiue
part
of
policie
&
publique
gouernement
)
that
any
note
of
worth
or
regard
can
be
drawn
?
therefore
I
pray
you
vnbend
the
strength
of
this
your
request
which
I
know
was
made
by
you
with
no
other
purpose
then
to
try
&
feele
the
forwardnes
of
my
inclination
,
least
running
into
a
rash
and
precipitate
intrusion
of
weightier
vndertakings
,
then
either
my
abilitie
could
beare
vp
and
support
,
or
the
fitnes
and
congruitie
of
this
function
&
performance
beare
out
,
you
shall
(
God
willing
)
if
heerein
I
haue
not
satisfied
you
(
as
I
trust
I
haue
)
at
my
next
meeting
and
conference
,
be
with
more
surcharging
reasons
sufficiently
resolued
to
content
touching
your
request
.
In
the
meane
time
I
will
thinke
of
something
more
fitting
,
and
I
hope
as
fully
satisfactorie
,
which
I
may
offer
as
an
appeasing
sacrifice
to
your
consideration
,
and
so
for
this
time
I
commend
your
diligent
and
Bee-like
studies
to
Gods
all
prospering
fauour
and
blessings
.
Yours
not
as
hee
would
but
as
hee
may
I.
M.
Naearchus
,
his
reply
.
GOod
friend
(
by
the
name
of
friend
and
seruant
both
I
kindely
coniure
you
)
that
you
would
not
vse
me
as
Vetronius
Thurinus
vsed
Alexander
Seuerus
his
poore
suppliants
,
to
smother
me
with
lingring
excuses
and
delaies
,
nor
make
vse
of
your
wit
in
putting
off
and
declining
the
force
of
my
most
necessarie
requests
.
What
Brutus
his
conceit
was
,
concernes
not
particular
;
you
shall
by
your
denialls
but
set
me
into
more
longing
,
and
with
more
forcible
pursuite
,
make
me
to
arietate
&
presse
forward
womanlike
against
al
obiected
allegations
.
In
this
one
conclusion
I
will
drowne
al
your
doubtes
and
demurres
,
your
weakenes
and
imbicilitie
(
if
it
shall
commit
any
errors
)
shal
be
poyzed
within
the
ballance
of
my
loue
and
kinde
acceptance
,
and
within
the
curtaines
of
most
boosome
secresie
,
shall
they
be
intombed
.
And
although
I
cannot
deny
but
that
when
dangerous
tempests
suddainely
arise
at
Sea
,
prayer
&
resolution
to
death
is
most
auaileable
,
&
that
in
a
tempestuous
state
,
where
all
thinges
are
continually
in
an
vprore
,
&
disorderly
confused
,
throgh
daily
and
intestine
warre
,
politicke
precepts
doe
as
little
auaile
,
as
astronomicall
obseruations
at
sea
,
in
rough
,
and
all
skill-drowning
stormes
:
yet
it
were
madnes
for
men
that
are
to
trauel
by
sea
,
vtterly
to
neglect
the
due
&
exact
obseruation
of
seueral
sands
,
gulffes
,
cliffes
,
rockes
,
reatches
,
and
shoares
;
so
were
it
a
plaine
madnes
,
for
him
that
endeauoreth
to
passe
through
the
streights
and
difficulties
of
deep
and
dangerous
imployments
,
to
commend
his
actions
to
the
winde
,
and
weather
of
euery
accident
,
without
any
due
and
diligent
consideration
what
he
acteth
,
or
which
way
his
purposes
shall
ariue
at
their
propounded
ends
,
and
be
crowned
with
his
desired
and
expected
respects
.
For
certainely
in
the
most
troublesome
confusion
of
tempests
,
though
a
good
spirit
and
resolution
hath
the
principall
place
,
yet
ordinary
rules
are
not
by
sea-faring
men
altogether
omitted
,
but
in
a
calme
they
are
preferred
before
the
courage
and
desperate
resolution
,
of
the
most
vndanted
hearts
:
so
when
any
state
is
most
distressed
with
garboyles
,
Politicke
gouernours
omit
not
the
ready
and
necessarie
windings
and
cranings
about
of
the
peoples
inconstant
&
wethercocke
affections
,
to
contrarie
time-pleasing
points
,
nor
any
such
rules
and
ceremonious
instructions
,
as
experience
&
that
present
ocasion
shal
finde
most
behoofefull
:
but
in
a
peaceable
,
tranquille
,
and
well
gouerned
state
(
such
as
wee
conuerse
in
)
(
happie
are
the
gouernours
,
but
more
happie
the
people
that
possesse
by
such
wise
and
woorthy
gouernours
vncessant
care
and
vigilancie
,
so
great
happines
and
prosperitie
)
wherein
no
turbulent
motions
of
ciuill
&
domesticke
broiles
daily
arise
,
the
well
disgested
rules
of
expert
states-men
may
stand
one
,
that
is
to
lanch
into
the
deep
of
deep
&
sea-like
affaires
in
stead
,
as
wary
card-cautions
,
to
know
how
to
beware
of
the
manifolde
and
diuerse
tumults
,
and
conflicts
of
enuy
,
that
shal
be
laid
in
the
channell
waies
of
integritie
and
harmelesse
innocencie
,
and
such
infinite
inconueniences
as
imprudence
,
temeritie
,
or
improuidence
,
may
expose
a
mans
life
and
fortunes
vnto
.
And
therefore
be
not
nicely
obstinate
in
yeeleding
to
this
my
so
much
desired
requests
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

you
shall
performe
to
me
a
most
kinde
office
,
and
no
waies
(
I
will
vndertake
)
wrong
your selfe
,
and
although
that
gould
which
is
digged
out
of
the
earth
by
vs
with
greatest
trauel
is
best
regarded
;
and
benefits
hardly
obtained
,
are
vsually
best
beloued
;
yet
thinke
you
shal
vnmyne
your
mindes
golden
collections
to
a
heart
that
can
distinguish
the
qualitie
of
guifts
,
and
the
natures
of
the
giuers
.
And
be
most
assured
,
that
your
free
&
vnforced
oblations
,
shall
neuer
passe
without
their
most
valuable
and
weightie
acceptance
,
from
the
Altar
of
my
heart
:
so
hoping
that
I
shall
not
neede
by
any
further
secondings
,
and
begging
interpellations
,
to
set
Mindus
his
gates
before
the
towne
of
your
discharge
&
performance
I
leaue
you
like
a
towne
,
as
I
hope
conquered
by
the
powerfull
charge
of
this
my
rebesieging
solicitation
.
An
answere

XENOPHANTVS
,
(
right
worthy
sir
)
customably
vsed
by
certain
measures
,
which
hee
exercised
and
plaide
vppon
a
Flute
,
to
sette
ALEXANDER
foorthward
to
battell
.
Xenophantus
might
haue
bin
accounted
an
exquisite
musitian
,
if
he
could
by
his
skil
haue
drawn
Alexander
from
war
:
for
to
martial
affaires
,
he
was
naturally
of
himself
inclined
,
and
needed
no
prouoking
incitements
,
to
stirre
his
warlike
spirit
to
battel
,
wher
in
he
so
much
&
so
inordinately
delighted
.
Your
perswasions
haue
euer
had
as
powerful
operation
in
my
breast
,
as
euer
either
Xenophantus
or
Arion
his
musick
had
to
delight
&
draw
the
senses
of
any
mortal
.
But
surely
in
this
kinde
,
your
importunate
requests
,
rather
rauish
&
inforce
my
will
&
consent
,
then
like
Xenophantus
measures
perswade
my
affections
.
For
Alexander
was
neuer
so
willing
to
take
an
occasion
to
march
against
his
enemies
,
as
I
am
vnwilling
to
put
in
battell
arraye
such
distracted
precepts
,
as
sicknes
,
and
sorrowe
thereof
conceaued
,
shall
be
composers
and
prepositors
of
:
you
should
haue
needed
smal
store
of
coniurations
in
any
other
procurations
.
But
howsoeuer
,
you
must
not
be
denied
,
&
your
sweete
and
delicate
conditions
haue
bene
to
me
in
all
your
requests
,
like
CAIVS
FVRIVS
CRESINVS
his
field-instrumentes
,
powerfull
,
and
vnresistable
bewitchings
,
and
therefore
I
will
make
vse
of
that
politicke
rule
,
Sapere

a

which
she
findes
by
loue
to
be
once
conquered
,
and
by
Cupids
batterie
beaten
down
and
subdued
:
&
I
finding
a
weake
heart
,
set
againste
the
most
powerfull
&
puissant
forces
of
your
vertuous
loue
,
and
most
to

beloued
vertues
)
will
most
chearfully
recollect
and
erect
my
fainting
and
languishing
spirit
,
with
the
comfortable
consideration
of
your
promises
,
&
hope
and
desire
to
giue
vnto
your
vndeniable
requests
,
all
seruiceable
and
satisfiing
content
and
the
rather
for
that
I
assuer
my selfe
,
that
your
sū-shining
and
supporting
fauour
,
shall
not
be
wanting
to
my
weake
&
infirme
supplies
,
as
I
shal
be
inabled
to
disgest
and
recouer
them
,
to
your
sight
and
vse
.
And
because
(
to
cut
of
all
further
ambages
)
all
riuers
are
saide
to
flowe
from
the
sea
,
and
thither
to
returne
againe
,
and
all
Actions
to
bee
measured
out
by
the
affects
of
the
heart
,
which
is
like
the
fadomlesse
and
vnfoundeable
sea
,
to
the
plummets
of
any
outward
appearance
,
I
will
in
the
first
place
prescribe
you
Sea-rules
for
the
sound
of
your
heart
&
affections
,
how
farre
you
may
flow
ouer
,
and
how
much
you
must
restraine
your
surging
&
inundating
appetites
thereof
,
as
the
necessitie
of
speciall
occasions
&
occurrences
shall
require
.
Concerning
generall
and
particular
trusts
.
LEt
Therefore
your

bee
generally
affected
as
Chymicall

Boxes

:
Let
downe
many
mens
hearts
and
secrets
into
the
deepe
bellyed
Glasse
of
obseruations
,
but
let
the
mouth
thereof
bee
narrowe
and
open
but
to
a
fewe
,
parcè
desumpta
,
vse
them
pinchingly
and
sparinglye
,
as
Gentlewomen
vse
their
secretest
conuaiances
(
not
as
Clownes
their
trumping
alarums
)
as
necessitie
shall
extract
&
wrest
them
out
from
you
,
for
some
further
ease
or
aduantage
:
vse
them
as
graue
counsellors

,
not
as
rude
Hobbinolds
ger-laughters
,
who
thinke
they
are
neuer
merry
,
except
they
cast
the
house
out
of
the
Windowes
with
extreame
securitie
,
and
forgetfulnesse
of
all
humanitie
and
ceremonye
of
ciuilitie
,
as
Vsurers
,
not
as
Prodigalles
vse
their
Purses
,
Let
your
heart
stand
,
concerning
the
drawinges
and
with-drawinges
of
your
trustes
and
imployments
,
as
your
Cabonet
is
furnished
with
seuerall
and
close
drawers
&
boxes
.
Your
Cabonet
hath
a
generall
drawer
belowe
all
the
rest
,
for
your
loose

idle
papers
,
which
is
without
any
speciall
locke
or
Barre
,
onely
the
generall
doore
beeing
opened
,
you
may
with
ease
and
no
further
labour
drawe
out
and
admitte
such
general
conceits
as
are
cursorily
to
bee
vsed
.
All
the
rest
of
your
Cabonet
drawers
are
discreetly
and
with
good
iudgement
distinguished
to
particuler
secrets
,
some
to
the
receipt
of
your
Iewels
,
some
to
one
priuate
and
peculiar
vse
,
some
to
another
,
all
which
are
restrained
from
any

eye
or

,
being
with
seuerall
Keyes
and

barred
&
debarred
your

.
In
like
manner
fashion
al
your

priuate
&
general
demeanor
&
conuersation
.
For
your
ordinary
followers
&
suiters
,
men
of
lower
state
&
condition
,
let
your
heart
bee
free
and
open
to
them
,
by
one
generall
Key
of
admittance
,
to
the
discretion
of
your
outward
cariage
,
which
without
any
intricatenes
of
study
,
will
be
apted
and
inabled
by
general
obseruations
to
shape
euerie
man
an
answere
,
according
to
his
propounded

and

.
For
matter
of
deeper
consequence
,
keepe
a
particular
Key
to
eue●…
seuerall
designement
,

●…ve
and

.
Let
not
in
any
man
of
note
and
worthye
estimate
,
(
either
for
honourable
place
or
respectiue
qualitie
)
through
your
hearts
secret
closet
,
and
particular
drawer
,
which
may
concerne
anothers
(
as
worthy
to
be
respected
)
affaires
or
trustye
reposements
,
nor
anye
to
any
priuate
drawer
of
your

,
but
with
the
right
Key
,
that
belongeth
properlye
and
essentiallye
to
his
owne
particulars
.
So
shall
you
in
the
first
place
,
gaine
the
hearts
and
vnderstandings
of
moste
men
of
speciall
worth
,
note
and

.
Secondly
you
shal
ad
to
ingenious
mens
labours
&
painfull
endeuours
,
continuall
incoragement
,
and
make
them
willing
without
iealousie
(
iealousie

oppresseth

and

)
to
vnseame
and
vnrip
their
expensiue
&
elaborated
obseruations
,
to
your
discreete
and
concealing
apprehension
.
Thirdly
through
this
your
discreete
cariage
,
and
concealing
conueyance
(
which
will
speedely
be
discouered
in
a
gret
states-man
)
you
shall
breed
and
ingendor
in
the
hearts
of
euery
wise
and
approoued
statist
,
that
conuerseth
with
you
,
a
wonderfull
and
vnremooueable
conceit
,
of
your
high
and
admired
wisedome
,
which
by
a
spreading
fame
,
begets
an
intire
respect
and
inducing
opinion
of
worth
,
and
an
opinion
of
worth
&
wisedome
must
not
,
in
a
states-man
be
neglected
,
(
especially
among
men
of
wisedome
)
and
(
though
of
lower
fortunes
,
yet
of
deepe
and
discerning
iudgements
)
for
that
being
lost
,
a
states-man
ceasseth
(
euen
as
a
father
ceasseth
after
the
death
of
his
children
,
to
be
accounted
a

)
to
be
reputed

esteemed
for
a
graue
and
wel

statist
.
Fourthly
and
which
is
most
in
your selfe
,
and
for
your
owne
good
to
be
respected
,

they
wil
bring
,
by
a

intermingling
of
one
mans
secrets
with
an
others
,
a
generall
distrust
and
hatred
of
all

and
make

and
experiments
,
as
from

haue
bene
offered
to
your

by
priuate
notice
and

.
For
your

wil
be
euermore
disorderly
disposed

appointed
,
betwixt
trust
,
feare

and
ielousie
,
and
when
vppon

you

be

to

you

,
how

of
this
Noble

preiudice
,
and
open
your
slender

inconstant

to

and
how
far
another

conceit
(
by

the
lawe
of
courtiership
,
to
be
lockt
from

&
commonly
may

vnskilfull
handling
of
your

:
which
can
neuer
suffer
a
states-man
to
thriue
or
prosper
,
but
sets
by
degrees
in
short
time
(
time
the
discouerer
of
all
mens
hearts
)
a
dayly
and
hourely
curbe
and
bridle
vppon
the
mouth
of
al
his
sayings
and

,
and
in
continuance
makes
him
of
a
free

resolute
,
a
very
bond
slaue
,
and
in
all
occurrences
of
speciall
moment
,
to
cry
mumm
,
standing
rather
like
the

,
following
the
lines
of

,
then

,
to
draw
all
other

of

,
after

And
as
in

you
haue
one
special
drawer
,
which
hath
a
treble
locke
not

Iugler

so
let
some
secrets
of

be
vnpassable

inuiable
to

Admit
neither

golden
key
of
those
misticall

treasures
of

or

,
let
them
be
as

reuealed
vppon
no

,
where
it
prickes
,
or
where

or
where

for
you
may
haue
some
such
secret
greefs
,
some
such
secret

,
and
some
such
secret
vnquenchable
flames
,
either
of
honour
or

,
as
may
not
with

be
made
known
or

So
shall
you
make
good
in
your
owne
president
that
Italian
prouerb
,
La

.
The
tongue
of
the
Wiseman
is

.
The
second
Precept
.
Concerning
the
tempering
of
affections
.
EVerie
man
doth
wonder
at
an
Eclipse
of
the
Sun
or
Moone
,
and
gazeth
at
a
blasing
Starre
,
but
fewe
men
regard
to
vnderstand
the
motions
and
exhalations
of
their
owne
affections
&
eclipses
of
either
that
he
auenly
instilled
light
of
nature
,
infused
into
the
soule
of
man
;
or
the
wilde
estranginges
and
aberrations
from
reason
,
apparelled
&
instructed
deuinely
,
many
times
and
in
many
men
,
with
the
supernatural
precepts
and
instructions
of
religion
.
Two
reasons
may
be
yeelded
why
we
too
negligently
passe
ouer
and
suffer
to
growe
to
a
head
of
daungerous
and
mischieuous
custome
,
any
vice
or
disorder
,
Lord-like
predominating
or
rather
tyrant-like
lording
and
trivmphing
,
in
our
naturall
dispositions
and
inclinations
.
The
one
a
powerful
and
ouerweening
desire
,
we
haue
by
nature
,
to
pry
into
other
mens
faults
,
and
so
ouerslip
the
sight
of
our
owne
slimye
&
defiling
filth
of
foule
enormities
.
The
other
,
is
a
naturall
fearefulnes
,
to
rip
vp
Chirurgian-like
with
the
instruments
of
seuerity
,
our
hidden
and
inwardly
putrifiing
soares
and
corruptions
,
to
the
coare
and
bottome
of
them
,
and
to
make
often
&
priuye
search
into
the
closet
roomes
and
angles
of
our
flattered
and
ouer-sliked
&
smoothed
follies
,
raigning
within
vs
.
For
dayly
experience
teacheth
vs
,
that
euery
Comet
or
escape
in
an
other
mans
digressions
,
from
the
perfect
and
exact
prescript
of
humane
ciuilitie
,
or
other
customarye
rites
and
ceremonies
,
is
wondered
at
like
a
blazing
star
,
and
aswell
the
pure
as
the
impure
sighted
,
are
called
out
to
gaze
and
behould
with
scorne
and
disdainefull
reproach
,
our
friendes
or
Neighbours
slips
and
falles
,
and
are
by
vs
(
euen
manye
times
,
where
there
is
greatest
profession
of
kindenesse
and
intyre
familiaritie
)
exposed
to
the
attrectation
of
euery
passengers
scandalizing
and
detracting
tongues
,
when
as
the
Eclipses
of
our
owne
moste
vnnaturall
and
fowlest
abuses
and
misdemeanours
,
cannot
with
any
patience
abide
the
blinde-mans
eyes
to
bee
lifted
vp
against
them
.
And
therfore
these
two
reasons
may
bee
well
saide
to
bee
like
HIPPOCRATES
his
twins
vnseperable
;
they
kisse
,
imbrace
,
&
nourish
each
other
.
For
questionlesse
the
reason
why
we
so
much
delight
like
flesh
flies
,
to
conuerse
in
the
sucke
and
contemplation
of
other
mens
errors
,
and
like
Noahs
vngodly
childr●●
,
to
take
such
pleasure
in
discouering
the
nakednes
and
deformity
of
other
mens
imperfections
&
weakenesses
(
be
they
either
by
naturall
or
religious
combination
and
coniunction
as
neare
to
vs
,
as
Noah
was
to
his
children
)
is
,
that
wee
sildome
throwe
open
and
discouer
our
owne
hidden
&
lurking
vices
,
&
vicious
humors
,
or
looke
back
vpon
the
wallet
of
our
seuerall
transgressions
&
transmigrations
from
either
reason
or
religion
:
for
the
due
consideration
of
a
mans
own
follies
,
is
a
respectiue
cause
,
&
continual
motiue
,
to
draw
him
to
a
sober
,
discreet
&
charitable
consideration
,
and
interpretation
of
other
mens
digressions
or
relapses
.
For
then
our
Friendes
or
Neighbours
liues
and
conuersations
,
for
offences
and
errors
comitted
,
could
no
sooner
sing
that
forrowefull
note
of
commemoration
Infandum
regina
,
iubes
renouare
dolorem
,
but
our
re-ecchoing
accents
of
the
like
well
noted
,
and
in
our selues
,
so
often
obserued
aptnesse
and
pronenesse
to
boulder
and
more
ouerdaring
presumptions
,
would
beare
the
dolefull
dittie
of
this
commiserating
reply
,
haud
ignara
mali
miseris
succurrere
disco
;
wee
would
bee
readyer
to
poure
oyle
,
and
throwe
sugar
vppon
our
friendes
griefes
conceaued
for
anye
fault
or
miscariage
,
then
with
Salt
and
Vinegar
rubbe
the
gauled
&
green
woundes
of
their
penitent
and
much
to
be
bemoaned
afflictions
:
For
by
a
daylye
and
continuall
conflict
had
with
our
ouermastering
affections
,
and
vntameable
rebellions
of
nature
,
we
shall
finde
more
passion
from
the
heate
of
the
like
fiers
vented
to
compassion
,
and
lesse
leasure
and
scope
,
to
score
vpon
the
dayly
count-booke
of
our
idle
apprehensions
and
wantonlye
strict
obseruations
,
the
marks
of
other
mens
follies
.
Therefore
,
first
like
a
naturall
man
,
I
aduise
you
to
enter
into
a
serious
and
sober
consideration
with
your selfe
and
your
priuatest
thoughts
,
and
to
discouer
to
the
block-house
,
and
beacon
of
your
reason
,
and
best
discerning
faculties
,
what
maine
tops
of
assaulting
and
out-daring
enemies
of
passion
,
out-braue
your
Capitols
best
ward
,
or
what
Serpent-like
affections
ly
hidden
in
the
grasse
of
your
all-pleasing
&
delighting
humoures
,
and
hauing
discouered
the
one
,
&
vncouered
the
other
,
to
imploy
your
best
volley
of
reasons
shot
,
to
blowe
of
the
one
,
and
to
bestow
your
daily
and
hourely
endeauours
,
to
kil
and
wound
the
other
.
And
because
the
secret
and
priuy
boosome
vices
of
Nature
,
are
most
offensiue
,
and
though
least
seene
,
yet
most
vndermining
enemies
,
you
must
redouble
your
endeauor
,
not
with
a
wand
to
alapat
,
and
strike
them
onely
as
louers
loath
to
hurt
,
so
as
like
a
snake
they
may
growe
together
,
and
gette
greater
strength
againe
,
but
(
according
to
the
Italian
prouerbe
,
Sel'albero
ha
fecca
la
radice
,
è
Impossibile
che
possa
hauer
foglie
verde
.
If
the
tree
haue
his
roote
dryed
vppe
,
it
cannot
possibly
shoote
foorth
greene
leaues
)
to
drye
vppe
the
venemous
iuice
and
roote-sap
of
them
,
and
to
strike
them
through
the
heade
and
very
life
strings
,
that
they
may
neuer
knit
againe
to
your
offence
,
least
like
a
Snake
laide
warme
to
your
bosome
,
they
sting
you
with
some
deadlye
and
Irrecouerable
inconuenience
,
and
by
giuing
life
and
warmeth
to
them
,
to
denye
to
you
all
life
of
true
and
essentiall
liberty
&
freedome
,
vtterly
captiuating
your
senses
to
their
slauerie
,
and
eternall
subiection
.
For
as
the
Moone
beeing
lowest
of
the
Planets
,
dooth
coueigh
and
transport
their
operation
and
force
through
her
Orbe
into
all
Elementall
creatures
,
causing
alteration
and
change
of
humors
,
times
and
seasons
,
yea
,
perturbing
and
distempering
mans
body
,
the
Ayre
,
and
all
other
thinges
vnder
her
Orbe
:
So
doe
our
affections
,
(
being
but
the
lowest
and
ministring
seruants
to
reason
)
vnmastered
and
not
set
by
the
Quartill
or
Opposite
aspect
of
true
moderation
and
discreete
and
well
disposing
order
and
gouernement
,
carrie
and
conueigh
disturbance
and
distemperature
through
the
Orbe
of
all
the
senses
,
and
leaues
all
a
mans
actions
,
subiect
to
such
alteration
and
change
,
as
breedeth
nothing
but
either
fierie
and
violent
motions
,
or
friuolous
and
phantasticall
inflations
.
And
that
you
may
the
better
and
more
powerfully
subdue
,
by
your
daily
conflict
had
with
them
,
these
so
troublesome
&
so
opposing
enemies
to
reason
and
perfect
iudgement
,
you
must
vigilantly
and
exactly
,
laboure
to
detecte
and
finde
out
the
meanes
,
that
so
often
betray
your
reason
to
the
subiection
of
your
affections
,
and
hauing
discouered
them
,
presently
to
discard
them
(
as
most
trecherous
and
false
Pyrates
,
to
the
flourishing
wellfare
and
safety
of
your
credit
and
estimation
)
be
they
neuer
so
deare
or
beloued
of
your
nature
,
and
bene
neuer
so
long
had
in
request
of
you
,
for
their
olde
acquaintance
and
familiarity
.
For
else
like
priuate
Posterne
doores
,
they
will
continually
be
ready
to
let
into
your
heart
such
theeues
,
as
in
time
will
spoyle
and
rob
you
of
all
your
richest
ornaments
,
of
either
spirituall
or
naturall
guiftes
and
graces
,
and
like
Dalilahes
flattering
inticements
,
depriue
your
minde
of
all
her
Sampson-like
locks
of
resistance
,
and
strength
,
and
power
of
iudgement
and
discretion
.
And
by
the
way
I
hould
it
not
amisse
,
that
when
your
minde
is
lost
in
your
affections
you
may
the
speedier
meete
with
her
againe
,
to
point
vnto
you
affections
seates
.
Loue
hath
his
proper
place
in
liuer
,
which
till
it
exceed
,
is
an
affection
most
commendable
,
but
when
it
swels
ouer
the
bancks
of
reason
,
it
begets
the
name
and
title
of
vice
,
and
is
indorsed
with
additions
of
vanitie
,
wantonnes
,
trechery
.
And
so
likewise
Ioy
which
dwelleth
in
the
spleene

if
it

cherisheth

all
the
sensitiue

vertuous
function
,
but
if
it
exceed
and
get
the
rule
and
dominion
of
reason
,
and
true
temperance
,
it
begets
the
name
of
wretched
and
disorderly
security
,
dissolutenes
,
scurrility
,
inciuility
,
and
such
like
.
Anger
,
which
dwelleth
in
the
gaule
,
the
most
noble

,
that
is
according
to
the
phrase
of
the
scripture
,
Be

the

of

,
the
forerunner
of
wisedome
,
according
to
that
of
Salomon
,
Ante
ruinam
exaltatur
spiritus
,
the
spirit
of
a
man
is
lifted
vp
before
a
fall
:
but
the
beginning
of
wisedome
is
feare
,
the
truest
and
faithfullest
companion
of
thrift
,
but
if
it
exceed
,
it
begets
the
name
of
weakenes
,
of
womannish
and
harelike
timidity
,
of
irresolution
,
and
cowardly
flegmatique
sloth
and
idlenes
.
Other
grosse
and
foule
enormities
,
your
breeding
will
not
suffer
you
to
be
acquainted
with
,
therefore
like
Licur
gus
I
hold
it
fitter
to
be
vnmentioned
,
then
precept
wise
to
be
enlarged
.
Now
forasmuch
,
as
I
right
well
haue
tried
,
that
nothing
may
auaile
a
politicke
man
more
then
to
subdue
&
maister
these
affects
,
nor
any
thing
wil
,
being
vnmastred
,
more
anoy
,
disturb
and
disable
a
ciuil
&
publique
man
,
I
am
forced
to
reinforce
this
my
admonition
touching
your
affections
,
as
you
meane
to
proue
a
politicke
man
.
When
therfore
by
a
due
&
impartiall
examination
and
discouery
,
made
of
your
most
impotent
(
&
yet
most
potent
)
imperfections
,
you
shall
finde
your
reason
&
true
light
of
iudgement
,
most
ecclipsed
by
the
ouershadowing
power
of
any
particular
,
either
earthy
aiery
,
or
cholericke
interposition
of
appetite
and
humour
,
&
the
wall
of
your
defence
by
any
of
them
,
made
weakest
&
most
subiect
to
daily
inuasion
,
there
,
I
aduise
you
to
watch
&
ward
,
night
&
day
,
and
to
stand
continual
centinel
,
with
your
guarding
and
defensiue
fortification
of
reason
,
for
that
with
in
a
priuate
man
wold
be
&
is
commonly
tearmed
but
an
odde
conceited
humour
,
admitted
or
committed
by
a
publike
man
makes
odious
&
insupportable
such
actions
as
are
therewith
intermingled
.
And
questionlesse
,
no
actions
of
a
naturall
man
,
much
lesse
of
one
that
professeth
himselfe
a
morrall
man
,
but
least
of
al
,
of
one
that
propoundeth
to
atain
to
high
&
eminent
place
of
publique
gouerment
,
can
haue
his
proper
demerit
&
estimat
of
praise
or
warrant
of
security
,
that
is
glewed
in
with
anye
powerful
passion
,
or
ouerflowings
of
naturall
affection
:
for
affections
are
noted
by
the
philosophers
,
to
be
but
alienations
of
the
minde
,
iudgement
,
and
reason
.
And
a
minde
alienated
from
iudgement
and
reason
(
the
true
and
onely
distinguishers
of
wise
men
and
fooles
,
yea
brutes
&
mens
actions
)
what
can
it
produce
,
perswade
,
act
,
aduise
,
contriue
or
prosecute
,
voide
of
palpable
and
manuable
errors
?
Infinite
fogges
,
and
grosse
mistes
of
darknesse
,
are
affections
inseparable
and
most
adhering
companions
;
Affections
vnbroken
&
vnbackt
are
our
enemies
free
passagewindowes
,
by
which
they
may
shoote
in
all
their
Arrowes
of
malice
,
enuie
,
spleene
,
sport
scorne
and
derision
.
They
are
the
generall
forerunners
and
praeparatiues
of
euerie
common
mans
woe
and
miserie
,
but
Politicians
&
Statists
particular
halters
of
ruine
and
perdition
.
Therefore
,
as
the
Moone
at
any
time
being
in
coniunction
with
any
of
the
Starres
or
planets
in
either
of
the
12.
constellations
or
signes
,
then
doe
astronomers
say
that
the
signe
is
in
that
part
of
the
bodye
,
ouer
which
such
a
constellation
Signe
or
Starre
doth
rule
,
at
which
time
it
is
verie
dange
rous
to
make
incision
,
or
to
open
any
vain
in
any
part
of
the
bodye
,
but
especiallye
in
that
part
of
the
body
,
which
is
gouerned
of
such
a
signe
or
starr
,
wherewith
the
moone
is
then
ioyned
:
so
of
your
affections
,
and
the
particuler
predominate
passions
of
your
nature
,
either
of
choler
and
anger
or
desire
&
concupiscence
(
for
I
feare
not
anye
other
in
you
)
if
you
intend
to
proceede
to
the
managing
of
manye
,
or
anye
weighty
causes
,
you
must
most
warily
prouid
&
most
cautiously
recollect
your
best
strength
of
vnderstanding
,
by
restrayning
your selfe
from
such
actions
,
and
dealing
with
such
subiects
in
the
execution
of
anye
publique
function
,
as
by
your
former
prescribed
obseruation
,
you
shall
perceiue
to
stand
in
coniunction
with
any
your
present
ouer-daring
appetites
and
affections
,
and
neuer
to
trust
and
admitt
your
witte
or
will
to
bee
actors
on
the
stage
of
the
worlds
viewe
,
in
anye
open
place
,
part
or
duetie
,
vntill
that

ruleth
be

&

Imitate

who

according
to
philosophie
at
the
beginning
of
any

,
(
such

arise
from
the

of
the
Sea
)
are
troubled
with
certaine

exhalations
and
vapoures
)
mount
vp
to
the
top
of
the
water
,
to

(
which
is
the
reason
why
Marriners
say
,
that
when
your
Dolphins
appeare
aboue
water
,
it
signifieth
some
storme
or
tempest
to
be

)
so
when
you
shall
finde
your selfe
by
any
,
either
naturall
or
accidentall
disturbance
&
heat
of
passion
,
subiect
to
any
disorderly
motions
and
perturbations
,
lye
not
swelling
in
the
heat
of
that
passion
:
but
get
vp
to
the
top
of
your
witts
,
(
before
anye
tempest
arise
)
your
best
reasons
directors
,
from
them
to
take
water
and
ayre
of
composure
,
and
(
according
to
Licurgus
his
obseruation
,
who
commended
them
vines
most
,
by
the
which
the
sweete
fountaines
of
waters
ran
continually
)
to
asswage
the
heat
of
any
superfluous
humour
,
that
you
shall
obserue
most
ranging
&
ouer-ruling
in
your
nature
,
with
the
fountain
water
of
some
contrary
qualification
,
Hoc
amo
,
quod
possum
qualibet
ire
via
:
This
is
true
policie
to
be
able
to
make
all
a
mans
affections
subiect
and
seruiceable
to
any
propounded
aduantage
.
A
true
States-mans
loue
is
,
and
ought
to
be
tyed
with
a
slip-knot
,
neuer
knit
with
any
of
his
heart-strings
.
He
must
onely
imbrace
the
vse
of
mens
vertues
,
and
officious
seruiceablenes
,
with
outward
graces
,
fauoures
and
rewardes
,
proportionable
to
their
deserts
,
not
single
out
any
outward
affectation
to
any
worthe
,
nor
laye
open
any
inward
breast-detection
of
singular
and
intyre
deuotion
,
to
any
speciall
qualitie
.
He
vseth
the
benefit
of
his
friendes
and
followers
,
labours
,
giftes
and
endeuours
,
so
long
as
they
may
be
vsed
vpon
good
terms
thankfully
&
respectiuely
,
but
hee
wil
,
nor
may
vaile
bonnet
to
his
honor
,
for
the
retaining
any
mens
loues
or
labours
:
for
to
doe
so
,
would
argue
a
weaknes
,
and
seeme
to
spring
from
a
rankenesse
of
some
vnsubdued
affection
,
which
exposeth
a
states-man
to
much
inconuenience
.
So
likewise
a
states-mans
hate
is
nothing
,
but
a
wise
auersion
of
fauour
and
grace
,
befitting
some
present
aduantage
,
not
a
setled
&
digested
disturbance
of
spleene
&
choler
,
yea
moste
of
their
wrongs
receaued
,
are
but
referred
to
the
braines
most
familiar
counsell-conference
,
not
to
any
deepe
or
serious
ouercharging
of
the
stomacke
,
for
so
they
would
multiply
his
wrongs
.
First
distract
the
iudgement
when
it
should
be
exercised
in
more
proper
and
necessarie
occasions
.
Secondly
being
admitted
to
lye
boyling
about
the
hart
like
rust
and
canker
,
would
fret
and
eate
vp
the
mindes
marrowe
of
truest
and
calmest
composition
.
Thirdlye
,
being
suffered
to
fester
about
the
heart
,
would
bubble
vp
at
one
time
or
another
such
lunaticke
aspersions
and
words
offensiue
,
as
depriue
him
of
such
readye
&
easie
meanes
of
crying
quittance
for
anye
wrong
sustained
,
as
shallowe
conceites
would
,
of
their
owne
accord
fal
into
,
according
to
that
true
politicke
rule
,
professa
per
dunt
odia
vindictae
locum
.
And
lastly
open
to
the
world
such
an
impotency
,
as
neither
policy
,
nor
court-ship
can
admit
,
for
if
a
man
wronged
debarre
mutuall
intercourse
of
phrase
and
familiaritie
,
he
shall
be
counted
and
marked
by
saying
nothing
,
that
the
brest
is
vlcerate
&
foule
with
rancour
,
and
in
court
men
say
,
hee
that
professeth
to
catch
at
euerie
Flye
,
seekes
but
matter
to
choake
himselfe
withall
,
an
error
flatlye
forbidden
by
SALOMON
himselfe
,
the
wisest
Politician
fatuus
statim
Indicat
iram
,
qui
autēsapiens
est
dissimulat
iniuriam
.
The
Foole
kicketh
as
soone
as
another
wincheth
at
him
,
and
they
which
are
ouer
hastie
to
kicke
often
,
light
vpon
a
sharper
spur
.
I
haue
dwelled
the
longer
vppon
this
point
,
because
I
know
your
tender
and
springing
yeares
,
shal
meet
oftenest
with
such
oppositions
,
as
vnbrideled
affections
will
offer
to
your
waryest
obseruation
and
discouerie
.
The
third
precept
.
THirdlye
,
if
you
desire
to
attaine
to
this
true
wisdome
and
iudgement
,
fitting
him
that
shall
sitt
at
the
sterne
of
the
common-wealth
,
and
so
sit
as
hee
may
stand
fast
in
all
stormes
,
abandon
from
your
conceite
this
deluding
opinion
,
that
to
bee
furnished
and
formallye
prouided
(
either
by
the
helpe
of
your
owne
industrie
and
studye
,
or
dayly
conference
with
masters
of
pollicie
liuing
or
defunct
)
to
speake
and
discourse
pleasingly
and
plentifullye
of
businesse
and
affaires
,
of
manye
seuerall
nations
,
and
to
know
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Vlisses
like
,
the
fashions
,
habits
and
behauiours
of
Rome
or
Rhemes
,
as
we
commonly
say
,
may
make
you
wise
enough
to
gouerne
the
chiefest
and
secretest
designes
of
a
state
.
For
this
ouer-greedy
desire
to
bee
acted
vppon
vulgar
tongues
,
for
excellencie
in
tongue
,
skil
,
and
varietie
of
eloquence
and
booke
discourses
,
begets
a
singular
pride
in
the
heart
,
which
is
onelye
delighted
in
an
outward
showe
of
seeming
wise
,
neuer
suffers
a
man
to
attaine
to
the
true
and
perfect
knowledge
of
any
deep
or
profound
misterie
:
or
as
we
may
commonlye
obserue
in
proud
women
,
that
so
their
outward
habit
be
geerishlye
and
wantonly
set
out
to
the
pleasure
of
the
worlds
appearance
,
and
their
owne
excessiue
lust
,
they
care
not
how
poorely
and
beggerly
al
things
are
furnished
within
the
house
,
either
for
dyeticall
or
costly
,
&
rich
supellecticke
appendance
;
whereas
on
the
contrarie
,
wary
&
prouident
wise
Matrons
,
care
not
how
homely
(
so
correspondently
)
their
outward
abiliments
fall
out
,
so
as
the
inward
furnishments
of
their
pursse
and
substantiall
lyninges
of
their
house
and
estates
be
richly
and
repleatly
contentiue
and
comfortable
to
their
priuate
thoughts
:
So
fareth
it
with
men
that
are
caryed
away
and
puffed
vp
with
an
extraordinarie
vaine
glory
of
being
accounted
rich
in
time
pleasing
,
and
vnprofitable
titillations
of
liplabored
eloquence
or
time-spending
discourses
of
strange
and
forraigne
accidents
;
they
little
respect
,
not
can
through
pride
&
desire
of
ostentation
,
sound
the
depth
of
any
graue
or
weighty
skill
,
or
expres
in
any
particuler
inploiment
,
any
profundity
of
iudgement
,
or
true
insight
in
anye
weightie
and
publique
negociation
,
only
they
attain
to
the
parings
&
excrement
of
state-learning
,
the
pithe
&
marrowe
they
leaue
behinde
for
sapient
and
well
tasting
palates
,
and
you
shall
neuer
see
any
such
formalists
(
as
most
of
them
wil
be
very
forward
in
that
kinde
)
intermeddle
with
deepe
reaching
Statists
,
but
you
shal
suddenly
haue
them
come
houering
down
the
winde
,
&
strooke
dead
to
the
ground
,
like
some
haggard
and
kestrill
broode
,
with
the
sharpe
talants
of
such
Ierfaulkon-like
politicians
wel
watcht
blowes
and

.
The
fourth
precept
.
FOurthly
cast
from
your
opinion
,
that
throgh
your
owne
wittie
deuises
(
for
against
this
rocke
,
many
great
men
&
highly
esteemed
for
their
skil
&
knowledge
in
policy
,
haue
run
)
and
certaine
cunning
motions
and
operations
of
your
brain
,
you
are
able
to
turne
about
the
wheel
of
fortune
&
all
felicity
,
as
it
were
with
certaine
skrues
and
machinations
,
to
what
point
you
please
:
for
certainely
(
as
I
partly
noted
of
the
iudgement
of
the
vnlettered
selfe-pleasing
politician
,
so
may
I
affirme
of
the
moste
edocte
&
ripest
courtier
in
the
subtill
skill
of
cunning
contriuances
)
that
whosoeuer
is
at
any
time
so
fowly
abused
by
the
delusion
of
his
selfe
conceit
of
wisedom
,
let
him
know
that
howsoeuer
he
may
imagine
himselfe
to
stand
in
a
faire
and
goodly
pasture
of
delightfull
and
Oxe-like
securitie
,
through
some
fewe
good
successes
had
in
particulars
,
he
is
then
neerest
the
slaughter
,
and
inuironed
with
most
fearefull
gulfes
and
quicke-sands
;
and
although
the
ground
on
which
he
stands
may
seeme
firme
to
his
shallowe
iudgement
,
because
it
shewes
fresh
and
faire
,
yet
he
hath
set
his
stand
indeede
but
vpon
a
quagmire
,
couered
ouer
with
grasse
(
and
that
onely
greene
and
high
in
shew
,
but
not
deepely
rooted
)
which
if
he
persist
long
in
,
and
wade
with
all
his
strength
,
the
harder
he
treads
,
the
deeper
he
is
like
to
sinke
.
For
this
politicke
guidings
of
things
by
rule
and
line
of
booke-cunning
,
are
but
like
eternall
motionworks
,
if
any
one
peece
bee
disioynted
with
a
greater
reach
,
or
through
some
negligence
,
forgetfulnesse
,
or
ouersights
(
as
who
can
so
liue
in
a
Daedalianlaborinth
of
cunning
,
but
he
shall
be
forced
to
make
some
in
his
life
)
all
the
structure
of
his
imaginarie
Pollicies
comes
downe
together
,
and
throwes
the
engine
Maister
of
the
work
,
euen
when
he
is
got
vp
in
his
conceit
,
to
the
top
of
his
promised
felicitie
,
into
the
mire
of
all
misfortune
,
or
like
an
vnskilful
alchimist
,
who
hauing
by
his
studye
and
reading
found
out
many
worthy
&
excellent
meanes
and
medicinable
receipts
,
puffed
vppe
with
the
pride
therof
,
falles
to
a
degree
further
,
the
practising
&

out
the
so
much
sought-for
Elixar
,
which
his
conceite
and

is
not

,
and
such
like

leaues
to

of
drosse
,
for
their
hopefull
and
longing
desires
,
or
by
too
much
speed
,
negligence
,
or
ouersight
in
the
least
particular
,
breakes
asunder
his
worke
before
it
come
to
hatching
,
and
thereby
sends
such
a
sulfurous
&
noisome
stinch
into
his
braines
,
as
makes
him
neuer
able
to
recouer
his
perfect
senses
againe
:
so
these
vnskilfull
practisers
by
booke
and
rule
of
all
politicke
foyles
that
depend
as
it
were
vppon
their
Puncto
,
reuerso
,
stockado
,
and
such
like
obseruations
of
cunning
booke-policie
,
fayling
(
that
I
may
make
no
further
application
heereof
)
of
some
out
blunt
and
plaine
downe
thrust
offered
them
,
stand
stabbed
at
the
heart
,
in
their
seuerall
hopes
,
and
leaue
themselues
a
publique
spectacle
of
scorne
and
defamation
to
the
view
of
the
whole
world
.
The
fift
precept
.
FIftly
,
let
him
resolue
himselfe
to
be
immooueably
fixed
(
for
in
this
quicke-sand
likewise
the
greatest
Cedars
of
the
state
haue
beene
swallowed
vp
)
in
his
religion
,
if
he
be
touched
with
the
feeling
of
any
.
For
though
it
may
not
be
denied
,
but
that
in
many
matters
a
wise
Statesman
hath
liberty
to
change
his
opinion
,
as
reason
&
the
discretion
of
present
ocasions
,
shall
guide
him
,
yet
in
such
actions
and
accidents
as
shall
touch
the
triall
of
a
good
conscience
,
in
relinquishing
the
same
,
for
any
present
aduantage
,
is
not
onely
very
dangerous
,
and
sildome
admitted
,
but
it
returnes
in
the
issue
much
inconuenience
,
&
irrecouerable
losse
of
honour
and
reputation
;
but
by
degrees
depriues
a
man
vtterly
of
his
perfect
iudgement
and
distinguishing
knowledge
in
affaires
and
busines
of
the
State
.
Machauill
therefore
(
whether
men
tearme
him
Hatcheuil
,
or
not
to
be
macht
in
euill
,
it
bootes
not
)
in
this
respect
perswades
his
schollers
wisely
(
in
my
poore
conceit
)
either
not
at
all
to
deuote
himselfe
to
any
religion
,
or
else
neuer
to
forsake
their
conscience
;
either
to
be
absolutely
good
or
absolutely
ill
,
not
to
hang
in
vncertaintie
,
sometimes
inclining
to
good
actions
,
sometimes
to
ill
,
as
they
best
seeme
to
further
their
present
vse
&
imployment
.
For
he
which
is
markt
with
Gods
signet
,
and
priuatest
stampe
for
his
owne
,
by
inclining
to
euill
motions
&
loose
digestions
(
the
lime-twigs
of
honour
,
safety
,
and
reputation
)
is
drawne
by
degrees
into
desperate
attempts
,
which
when
he
hath
entred
into
,
and
waded
chin-deepe
therein
,
is
suddainely
recalled
by
a
better
spirit
to
a
consideration
of
his
folly
,
wherby
it
happeneth
that
plunged
betwixt
two
extreames
,
he
can
neither
get
forward
nor
backward
,
and
so
become
a
ridiculous
obloquie
to
his
enemies
,
a
confusion
to
his
friends
&
followers
,
a
perpetuall
sore
&
vlcer
to
his
family
&
posterity
,
whereas
if
he
were
absolutely
resolued
by
wicked
meanes
to
goe
through
all
his
purposes
,
hee
should
finde
no
interruption
in
his
courses
,
to
countercheck
his
vngodly
proceedings
,
whereby
he
might
effect
more
with
greater
felicity
&
admiration
,
then
any
man
,
partly
religious
&
indifferently
affected
to
pietie
and
godlines
.
This
made
the
ancient
Romanes
Brutus
,
Cassius
,
Decij
,
and
many
more
of
that
ranke
,
to
deserue
so
well
in
the
opinion
of
those
times
for
their
fortitude
and
magnanimitie
,
shewed
&
approoued
in
many
desperate
&
dangerous
attempts
.
For
they
being
touched
with
no
rellish
of
religion
,
made
fame
and
glory
the
chiefe
scope
,
and
ayme
of
all
their
aduentures
,
and
ingagements
,
to
the
attaining
whereof
they
resolued
their
reason
to
feare
nothing
that
could
happen
within
the
compasse
of
mortalitie
.
To
this
agrees
all
their
heathenish
positions
and
maximees
.
Aut
dignitatem
retineamus
,
aut
vitācum
dignitate
amittamus
,
and
such
like
,
whereby
it
appeares
,
that
they
helde
true
valoure
,
and
Magnanimitie
to
consist
in
auoyding
of
subiection
,
and
that
the
quiet
and
patient
tolleration
of
aduerse
fortunes
,
drawing
vnder
the
yoak
of
obedience
,
and
subscribing
to
domination
,
rule
,
and
superiority
,
was
basenes
,
&
brutishnes
,
and
therefore
the
desperate
,
and
indeede
(
in
the
true
sense
of
reason
)
more
brutish
attempting
of
any
thing
might
tend
to
their selfe
promised
liberties
,
being
restrayned
by
any
lawe
,
power
or
soueraintie
,
to
proceede
from
a
braue
spirit
,
a
high
and
generous
resolution
,
and
not
onely
murdering
of
others
,
that
stood
in
the
way
of
their
wishes
&
aspiring
hopes
,
to
deserue
immortall
praise
&
glory
,
but
the
cutting
of
the
thrids
of
their
owne
liues
,
their
children
and
posterities
,
in
matters
that
might
carrie
shewe
of
publique
reformation
,
or
preseruation
of
their
accounted
honours
or
their
Wiues
and
Childrens
chastities
,
to
be
actions
not
only
to
be
dignified
,
but
to
bee
deified
.
And
questionlesse
,
in
these
ages
and
times
,
and
in
these
parts
,
where
religion
most
flourisheth
they
who
neuer
had
anye
sense
or
feeling
of
Religon
,
(
whether
they
bend
their
mindes
to
the
compassing
of
high
and
weighty
matters
,
in
or
belonging
to
a
publik
state
,
or
contriuing
any
extraordinary
plot
in
their
priuate
affaires
)
they
may
with
a
nimbler
&
prompter
dexteritie
,
passe
through
all
their
purposes
,
then
they
which
are
clogged
and
fettered
with
rules
and
restraints
of
religion
.
For
as
the
profession
of
piety
,
and
religion
,
to
a
man
throughly
excercised
therein
,
and
resolutely
bent
to
forsake
any
pleasure
or
worldly
profit
,
rather
then
to
admit
the
least
disparagement
or
impeachment
to
the
same
,
furnisheth
him
with
a
thousand
helping
hands
,
in
the
profecution
of
any
propounded
imployments
:
So
,
to
his
purposes
and
proiects
,
that
professing
feligion
,
hath
,
or
shall
dispute
within
the
secret
closet
of
his
thoughts
,
this
is
proper
to
the
furtherance
of
my
particular
,
howsoeuer
irreligious
,
treacherous
,
dishonest
,
vnfaithfull
,
rebellious
,
and
yet
admits
the
good
of
his
preferment
and
aduantage
to
high
and
greate
places
and
preheminences
,
before
the
good
warrant
of
his
conscience
,
nothing
is
or
can
be
imagined
more
interposing
or
diameter
like
opposing
,
then
religion
.
For
such
a
man
shall
finde
,
let
his
proiect
seeme
in
the
beginning
neuer
so
currant
,
the
meanes
in
his
conceit
neuer
so
cleere
,
a
thousand
scruples
and
vnexpected
counter-maunds
,
that
religion
&
the
destruction
of
his
vnsetled
resolution
will
cast
,
as
so
many
clogs
&
fetters
into
the
mid-way
of
his
hasty-pac'
de-intentions
.
For
as
a
man
that
leapeth
from
a
high
banck
,
ouer
a
narrow
pit
or
deep
ditch
,
to
folow
some
may
game
,
by
reason
of
his
easie
and
speedy
descent
(
for
Facilis
descensus
auerni
)
is
flatteringly
pleased
with
his
smooth
&
currant
passage
,
but
considering
not
how
he
shall
recouer
the
hold
of
his
sure
feeting
,
and
the
firme
and
knowne
ground
of
his
security
,
is
forced
at
his
returnes
either
by
venturing
to
fall
into
the
midst
of
the
miry
ditch
;
or
to
goe
many
miles
about
,
or
to
continue
as
a
man
outed
of
his
confines
:
so
fareth
it
with
them
,
who
for
the
compassing
any
priuate
respect
,
leap
ouer
the
knowne
bounds
&
pales
of
vertue
and
Religion
,
whereby
they
haue
bin
directed
in
ther
former
courses
.
For
they
behaue
themselues
in
al
their
actions
,
&
enterprises
,
either
like
an
army
out
of
ranke
and
order
,
still
resolued
to
some
desperate
inroads
,
&
so
be
come
like
a
ship
without
his
Pilots
and
failes
,
fitted
for
confusion
,
and
prepared
to
runne
into
the
ditches
&
shelues
of
all
dissasters
,
or
striuing
to
go
a
neerer
way
,
either
to
thrift
,
preferment
or
dignitie
,
being
leapt
from
their
owne
wel
knowne
&
trodden
pathes
of
vpright
dealing
,
to
a
selfe
conceited
course
of
cunning
and
irreligious
pollicy
,
stand
like
men
,
who
haue
forsaken
those
trades
and
exercises
they
were
trained
vp
in
all
their
liues
,
for
some
new
fangle
deuises
and
inuentions
,
a
mazed
,
and
to
seeke
in
euerie
particular
,
and
so
after
much
labour
,
vexation
of
spirit
and
anguish
of
minde
,
returne
by
weeping
Crosse
to
their
former
standes
;
or
if
they
rest
contented
to
runne
on
in
their
approued
&
propounded
determinations
of
follie
,
(
which
is
the
worst
degree
of
al
)
in
the
ende
hauing
outed
themselues
of
their
meanes
&
hopes
,
passe
by
their
friends
like
a
ship
fallen
into
the
hands
of
Pyrates
,
weather
beaten
and
dispoyled
of
all
his
braue
array
and
furniture
,
which
is
as
ruthful
a
spectacle
,
as
the
eie
of
man
can
behold
.
Therfore
I
wish
him
(
vnworthy
to
aduise
)
that
desireth
to
approoue
his
wisedome
,
either
in
not
failing
in
his
attemp
t
s
,
or
not
falling
by
his
attempts
into
any
grosse
and
palpable
errour
,
neuer
to
dispense
with
his
religion
,
in
any
matter
of
weightie
consequence
and
momente
,
but
to
make
that
the
touch-stone
of
all
his
proceedings
,
so
shall
he
be
sure
both
to
vndertake
&
entertaine
nothing
,
the
issue
wherof
may
prooue
dangerous
,
and
also
to
add
like
a
staide
proficient
,
a
daily
increase
and
ripenes
of
iudgement
,
to
his
skill
&
knowledge
in
waightie
affaires
and
occurrences
of
the
state
.
The
sixt
precept
.
SIxtly
and
lastly
,
let
your
endeuour
chiefly
&
principally
,
be
excercised
in
such
actions
as
may
aduance
the
glory
of
Gods
truth
,
and
forward
by
all
possible
meanes
,
the
peace
,
the
quiet
,
and
the
prosperitie
of
the
Common
Wealthe
,
For
surely
he
that
is
so
affected
and
resolued
to
God
&
his
countries
good
,
he
may
assure
himself
that
hee
is
in
a
right
way
to
the
attaining
of
a
sound
and
exquisite
Iudgement
in
all
weightie
determinations
,
and
the
more
this
resolution
groweth
vp
in
any
man
,
the
greater
increase
and
growth
shall
hee
finde
daylye
in
state-learning
and
wisdome
,
for
the
spirit
of
vnderstanding
,
the
spirit
of
Counsell
,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
,
are
inseparable
companions
of
the
feare
of
God
and
the
loue
of
his
name
,
neither
shall
wee
finde
farre
from
these
companions
a
good
estimation
grace
and
fauour
with
all
men
,
as
well
Prince
and
Peeres
,
as
the
better
sort
of
the
commons
.
For
that
man
winneth
moste
inward
credit
and
opinion
of
wisdome
,
and
moste
outward
regarde
and
honorable
respect
with
all
men
,
whose
sayings
and
doings
carry
most
opinon
of
vertue
,
religion
,
&
honesty
among
men
;
as
if
he
shal
speak
or
promise
any
thing
,
men
will
not
doubt
of
his
truth
,
if
hee
doth
any
thing
(
whereof
publike
notice
is
taken
)
men
wil
applaude
&
account
it
for
right
,
and
to
a
right
and
euen
end
:
if
he
commaund
any
thing
,
men
will
most
willinglye
obey
it
;
if
hee
giue
counsell
men
wil
respectiuely
imbrace
and
entertaine
it
,
and
haue
euermore
in
high
account
his
iudgement
in
all
causes
.
But
vaine
are
they
who
thinke
this
estimation
to
be
compassable
,
or
if
compassed
to
bee
durable
&
permanent
,
which
is
gotten
by
palpable
and
grosse
flatterie
,
by
dissembling
,
or
deceite
,
yea
by
any
other
meanes
then
by
vertue
in
wisdome
,
and
wisdom
in
vertue
often
shewed
with
good
successe
,
for
al
mens
harts
are
kindled
with
admiration
of
vertue
,
and
a
supernall
help
and
diuine
assistance
,
yea
the
very
wicked
dissemblers
,
&
cunningest
temporizers
themselues
,
hold
such
men
,
who
are
accounted
truly
religious
,
&
religiously
prudent
and
prouident
for
the
common
good
&
safety
,
in
great
reuerence
,
and
feare
to
displease
them
,
whereas
they
make
no
great
reckoning
of
such
statists
,
whome
they
know
to
liue
by
the
like
cunning
&
deceit
,
as
themselues
doe
,
for
cunning
they
know
may
be
met
withall
by
the
like
cunning
,
and
ape-like
deceite
may
bee
ouerthrowne
,
and
caught
by
foxe-like
crafte
and
subtiltie
,
but
they
knowe
not
what
shooes
to
prouide
for
the
feete
of
this
religious
states-man
,
nor
what
cunning
deuises
they
may
hammer
out
of
their
forge
of
knauery
,
strong
enough
to
encounter
with
him
.
For
hee
goes
on
forward
in
a
plaine
,
euen
right
way
of
honestie
and
fidelitie
,
neuer
or
sildom
but
vpon
great
and
vrgent
necessities
,
digressing
into
any
by-waies
,
of
slie
,
craftie
,
vnder-mining
Pollicies
,
so
as
if
anye
man
studies
to
ouerthrowe
him
by
diuelish
plots
,
and
circumuentions
,
hee
tyres
himselfe
in
his
owne
deuises
,
and
the
more
he
busieth
himselfe
in
enuious
practises
,
the
more
he
lymeth
,
like
a
bird
in
a
Snare
by
strugling
,
his
owne
witte
,
and
yet
meeteth
not
with
him
,
because
he
runs
not
vp
&
down
through
briars
&
lurking
holes
,
like
a
fox
or
a
wolfe
,
wher
the
gins
&
nets
are
set
,
but
keepeth
the
road
high-way
of
vpright
dealing
,
and
hauing
fixt
his
resolution
in
the
purchase
&
increase
of
his
princes
fauour
,
to
vse
no
indirect
&
sinister
meanes
,
hath
confined
and
circumscribed
himself
within
the
bounds
of
certaine
faithful
religious
rules
and
propounded
endes
,
from
the
which
hee
will
not
start
or
stray
,
for
either
the
loue
of
his
own
priuate
profit
or
pleasure
,
or
else
for
feare
of
purchasing
anye
other
subiectes
displeasure
,
wherby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
as
in
warfare
,
when
other
fresh
water
Souldiers
vpon
anye
sudden
and
vnexpected
skirmish
,
are
to
seeke
of
their
office
&
place
,
hee
presently
claps
to
his
station
and
is
prepared
to
all
accidents
:
hee
medleth
neither
with
ambitious
motions
,
to
ouer-throwe
his
Prince
,
nor
stealeth
by
indirect
shewes
and
pretenses
of
publike
good
,
the
fauour
of
the
people
from
him
;
his
heart
,
against
the
false
alaruns
of
such
priuy
thoughts
and
suggestions
,
is
euer
set
as
a
Tenniswal
,
which
no
sooner
receaueth
but
at
the
very
same
instant
and
moment
of
time
returnes
&
reuerberates
the
ball
backe
again
,
and
if
any
loose
bent
nouices
(
as
it
seldome
happens
)
for
they
rather
seek
out
mud-walles
,
to
fasten
their
wicked
plots
vpon
,
striue
to
racket
the
same
,
or
the
like
motions
,
through
the
countermure
of
his
conceite
,
in
a
trice
before
any
chace
be
made
in
the
firme
and
faire
Tennis-court
of
his
consenting
will
,
he
bandees
them
ouer
the
wall
of
his
heart
,
so
as
they
neuer
returne
or
take
further
fixation
.
He
profusely
rioteth
not
his
own
,
to
wring
and
wrest
away
other
mens
estates
,
nor
deuiseth
ouer-greedye
taxations
and
penalties
to
pinch
the
poore
commons
with
all
,
hee
is
not
heart
sicke
nor
head
sick
,
nor
stomack
sick
,
for
his
adhabitants
vinyards
:
he
enuies
nomans
prosperity
&
honorable
purchases
of
his
princes
fauours
,
he
is
not
pragmatically
scrupulous
,
nor
too
inquisitiuely
prying
into
other
mens
escapes
and
errors
,
such
as
hurt
not
,
or
disturbe
the
quiet
of
the
state
,
therby
to
purchase
himself
hatred
,
but
is
sorry
when
any
garbage
of
foule
and
treasonable
actions
is
thrown
in
to
the
priuy
chamber
of
the
states
welfare
,
&
remooues
the
stinche
&
poisonus
infection
therof
from
the
princes
perfō
,
&
the
pure
life
blood
of
the
common-wealth
.
He
makes
the
lawes
the
boundes
,
by
which
hee
limits
all
his
actions
,
he
trusteth
not
vpon
former
deserts
,
thereby
to
presume
to
run
into
any
dishonorable
breache
of
Statute
or
his
allegiance
,
hee
liueth
not
voluptuously
,
nor
effeminately
,
therby
to
giue
,
not
only
mean
men
example
to
imitate
the
like
vices
,
&
occasions
to
base
&
ignoble
spirts
,
to
vilipend
and
neglect
him
,
&
that
reuerent
regard
ought
to
bee
preseruer
in
men
of
high
place
and
dignitie
:
but
to
put
into
his
equals
hands
,
such
as
are
his
aduersaries
,
a
fitt
weapon
to
wound
his
credit
,
&
to
diminish
the
opinion
the
prince
hath
of
his
vertuous
inclination
,
which
being
violated
,
there
lies
a
free
passage
to
infer
by
suspitions
,
iealousies
,
informations
,
any
mischiefe
may
be
imagined
,
vpon
him
.
And
this
is
that
true
wise
states-man
or
Scipio
of
perfect
pollicy
indued
with
this
heuenly
iudgement
,
and
thus
haue
euer
liued
the
worthy
supporters
of
plenty
and
state
,
making
vertue
and
religion
the
bases
,
wherupon
they
set
the
firme
building
of
their
worthes
and
honours
,
whereby
they
haue
bene
inabled
to
keepe
betweene
all
rockye
extreames
,
a
middle
channel
of
steeled
temperance
,
and
by
an
euen
poysing
of
all
their
actions
to
stand
fixt
and
stable
in
the
greatest
conflicts
of
enuie
,
&
long
may
they
so
liue
,
that
fauour
in
this
,
or
any
state
,
Religion
and
pietie
,
to
the
comfort
of
theirs
,
and
true
Religions
friends
,
and
the
confusion
of
all
malignant
,
discontented
,
and
profane
spirits
.
Much
more
I
would
haue
added
,
but
an
vnvsuall
accident
forced
me
abruply
thus
to
breake
of
.
By
the
imitation
of
Silenus
ther
weare
deuised
to
hang
vp
in
the
Galleries
and
closets
of
Noblemen
,
certain
strange
pictures
,
so
wrought
and
shut
vp
in
prinate
Tables
,
as
if
you
viewed
but
the
outward
side
of
them
,
they
sette
forth
nothing
but
little
smal
il-fauoured
mishapen
Images
,
but
being
vnfoulded
,
they
represented
some
high
and
mistical
matter
:
So
in
these
preceptes
,
although
you
shal
finde
no
pictures
worthy
the
hanging
vp
in
Princes
or
noblemens
galleries
,
but
rather
at
the
first
conceipt
they
may
seeme
idle
,
&
of
small
worth
and
regard
:
yet
if
you
can
wisely
vnfold
their
seueral
shut-vp
,
and
inclosed
leaues
of
state-learning
to
your
secret
consideration
,
you
shal
finde
some
things
in
them
worthy
the
hanging
about
your
heart
,
as
necessarie
Mementoes
to
put
you
in
minde
of
many
vseful
obseruations
in
state
businesse
:
Vse
them
not
as
your
studies
,
but
as
your
watch
at
studie
,
when
your
watch
is
out
of
time
,
you
repaire
to
your
key
to
winde
vp
the
seuerall
wards
,
that
are
therein
amisse
,
and
when
your
studie
touching
State
affaires
are
out
of
time
,
and
equipage
,
haue
recours
to
this
watch
,
&
in
it
happily
you
shal
finde
some
key
that
may
inable
you
to
set
all
euen
,
&
in
good
temper
&
order
againe
:
What
is
herein
wanting
may
be
supplied
,
but
neuer
commended
to
writing
,
for
the
next
particular
instructions
of
state-busines
,
which
I
must
vnfolde
to
you
,
may
not
be
admitted
to
any
other
bosome
trust
.
Farwell
