The
Truth
of
our
Times
revealed
out
of
one
Mans
experience
,
by
way
of
Essay
.
Of
Gods
Providence
.
I
Will
begin
my
first
Observation
(
which
from
a
childe
I
have
seriously
considered
)
with
the
contemplation
of
Gods
Providence
,
which
is
never
wanting
to
the
protection
of
them
,
and
their
posterity
,
who
in
singlenesse
of
heart
have
sought
,
and
sincerely
served
him
all
their
lives
;
averring
with
David
,
I
never
saw
the
righteous
forsaken
,
nor
his
seed
begging
their
bread
.
When
on
the
contrary
,
Oppressors
,
Atheists
,
cruell
men
,
idle
and
lewd
livers
have
with
the
curse
of
Ruben
,
I
have
seene
the
ungodly
flourish
,
&c.
I
never
knew
any
sacrilegious
Vultur
digest
that
which
hee
snatched
from
the
Altar
;
or
any
demolisher
of
Churches
,
or
such
as
had
converted
them
to
prophane
uses
;
as
turning
them
into
Stables
,
Sheep-coats
,
(
after
the
depopulation
of
the
whole
Town
)
thrive
in
their
estates
:
and
many
of
them
have
I
knowne
to
have
come
to
infamous
and
desperate
ends
,
yea
,
being
their
owne
executioners
.
I
have
againe
observed
the
especiall
providence
and
Goodnesse
of
God
extended
toward
the
meanest
&
poorest
,
whom
the
world
hath
contemned●
as
a
poore
man
in
the
country
,
who
by
his
onely
hand-labour
earning
a
groat
or
six
pence
by
the
day
,
to
have
brought
up
a
charge
of
sixe
or
seven
Children
:
who
(
poore
things
)
get
seldome
their
bellies
full
of
bread
,
and
their
drinke
is
many
times
(
as
I
have
seene
it
)
but
a
roasted
Crab
,
crush'd
into
a
dish
of
faire
water
;
and
for
the
greatest
part
of
the
yeere
goe
bare-footed
,
and
bare-legged
:
yet
commonly
,
like
Daniel
with
his
pulse
,
are
they
as
fresh-coloured
,
healthy
,
cheerefull
,
as
free
from
diseases
as
the
best
mens
children
in
the
Coun●rey
,
who
usually
are
pampred
,
&
cramm'd
with
the
greatest
dainties
that
may
be
gotten
,
many
times
till
their
bellies
are
ready
to
burst
:
And
though
the
Parishes
where
they
are
born
,
commonly
a●●oun●
of
them
no
better
than
beggers
b●ats
,
not
worth
the
loo●ing
after
;
and
caring
not
how
soone
they
were
rid
of
them
to
avoyde
charge
,
yet
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
attayning
(
as
many
of
them
have
done
)
to
the
most
eminent
places
of
dignity
,
as
well
in
Church
as
Common-wealth
,
they
have
obliged
their
native
places
to
them
,
by
erecting
Schools
,
Hospitalls
,
Alms-houses
,
and
doing
other
charitable
workes
,
which
of
it selfe
the
whole
Parish
had
never
been
able
to
have
performed
.
I
might
fill
a
whole
Volume
,
if
I
should
reckon
up
all
such
great
and
eminent
personages
the
Cottage
hath
afforded
,
as
principall
pillars
to
the
support
of
our
Common-wealth
;
or
tell
you
what
magnificent
workes
have
beene
done
by
Bishops
,
Lord
Majors
,
and
Citizens
of
London
,
whose
Parents
have
beene
extreame
poore
and
obscure
;
and
which
is
more
,
not
a
sonne
,
but
sonnes
of
one
poore
man
have
participated
and
shared
in
honorable
advancement
.
Chicheley
,
a
very
poore
man
of
Higham
Ferrers
in
Northampton-shire
,
about
the
time
of
Henry
5.
had
two
sonnes
,
the
on●
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
(
the
founder
of
All-soules
in
Oxford
)
and
t●e
other
Lord
Major
of
London
both
at
one
time
.
Patten
of
Wain●let
in
Lincoln-shire
,
a
man
of
meane
estate
,
had
also
two
sonnes
,
the
one
was
William
de
Wainflet
,
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
and
Founder
of
that
magnificent
Colledge
Magdalens
in
Oxford
,
(
besides
a
Schoole
at
Wainflet
,
where
he
was
borne
)
and
the
other
was
Deane
of
Chichester
;
which
brothers
,
one
in
the
habite
of
a
Bishop
,
the
other
of
a
Deane
,
support
the
pillow
under
their
Fathers
head
upon
his
Monument
in
Wainflet
All-hallows
Church
,
who
lyeth
cut
out
in
Alabaster
in
a
side-coate
,
a
great
pouch
,
and
a
dudgeon-dagger
at
his
Girdle
.
I
could
instance
many
others
even
of
our
owne
times
,
whose
meane
beginnings
no
whit
can
derogate
from
their
esteeme
worthinesse
,
but
I
had
rather
looke
backward
,
and
farther
off
.
I
have
also
with
great
comfort
observed
the
mercifull
goodnesse
of
God
in
providing
for
fatherlesse
&
motherlesse
children
,
who
being
left
in
trust
with
some
hard
hearted
Executor
,
or
sometime
to
the
miserable
mercy
of
some
poore
Parish
to
be
maintained
,
God
miraculously
hath
taken
them
into
his
protection
,
by
kindling
Love
and
Pitie
in
the
hearts
of
those
who
are
his
,
to
receive
and
take
them
in
;
they
keeping
the
true
Fast
which
God
commandeth
in
Esay
.
To
seeke
death
in
the
errour
of
their
lives
.
Neither
hath
poverty
any
thing
more
unhappy
in
it
,
than
perverting
good
natures
,
and
drawing
them
into
vitious
courses
,
as
a
Poet
justly
complaineth
:
Hence
let
all
Parents
,
while
they
are
living
,
bee
seriously
carefull
to
the
uttermost
of
their
powers
,
to
provide
somthing
to
maintain
their
poore
children
in
their
livelihood
after
their
Deaths
:
if
they
cannot
,
to
give
them
that
education
and
knowledge
,
(
in
some
Art
or
other
)
seasoned
with
the
feare
of
God
,
that
they
may
bee
able
to
encounter
the
manifold
miseries
of
this
wretched
world
,
and
withstand
all
lewd
temptations
&
allurements
unto
vice
.
And
being
able
in
an
honest
calling
to
subsist
of
themselves
,
blesse
God
for
his
care
and
goodnesse
toward
them
,
and
say
with
the
Psalmist
,
When
my
Father
and
Mother
forsooke
me
,
thou
oh
Lord
●ookest
me
up
:
which
freely
I
confesse
,
I
may
say
my selfe
,
being
left
young
to
the
wide
world
to
seek
my
fortune
,
and
acknowledge
the
providence
of
Almighty
God
to
have
attended
me
both
at
home
,
and
abroad
in
other
Countries
,
for
which
I
had
rather
bee
silently
thankfull
,
than
to
proclaime
the
particularities
;
(
which
to
some
may
seeme
to
bee
fabulous
and
incredible
)
and
for
any
thing
I
know
,
I
and
mine
must
say
yet

though
in
a
farre
different

THere
is
no
profession
more
necessary
to
the
erecting
the
frame
of
a
famous
Common-wealth
,
than
that
of
Schoole-masters
,
yet
none
in
more
dis-esteeme
among
the
common
vulgar
,
yea
,
and
illiterate
great
ones
:
I
know
not
the
reason
of
this
,
except
that
the
greater
part
of
the
multitude
being
ignorant
,
they
are
desirous
that
their
children
should
be
so
likewise
:
But
I
rather
beleeve
that
which
I
have
found
true
,
Reward
to
be
out
of
reach
,
and
livings
now
a
dayes
to
bee
like
Lotteries
;
some
principall
prizes
,
as
guilt
Basons
and
Ewers
;
some
of
a
middle
ranke
,
as
Fruite-dishes
and
Candlesticks
;
some
of
the
lea●t
value
,
as
Spoones
and
Sawcers
:
yet
one
of
these
least
many
times
costs
him
more
than
it
is
worth
,
in
expence
of
many
yeeres
in
the
Vniver●ity
,
his
labour
in
search
and
making
of
friends
,
his
money
(
hardly
gotten
)
largely
expended
,
and
(
as
in
a
Lottery
)
all
this
getteth
nothing
.
Some
few
prime
schooles
in
England
,
serve
as
a
foyle
for
the
rest
;
I
meane
Westminster
,
Winchester
,
Eaton
,
Paules
,
with
some
few
others
,
which
at
this
day
(
as
all
others
in
generall
)
have
lost
of
their
former
greatnesse
and
esteeme
,
not
because
there
are
not
learned
and
able
Masters
,
(
there
being
now
as
sufficient
as
ever
)
and
sound
Grammarians
among
the
Schollers
,
but
because
men
have
found
shorter
cuts
in
the
way
of
preferment
for
their
children
.
Neither
doe
our
Nobi●ity
and
Gentry
so
much
a●fect
the
study
of
good
Letters
as
in
former
t●●es
,
loving
better
the
Act●ve

the
Contemplat●ve
part
of
Knowledge
,
which
in
times
of
the
Monasteries
was
more
esteemed
and
doated
on
than
now
:
when
Kings
and
Princes
were
so
devoted
to
the
services
of
God
,
that
they
consecrated
their
Sonnes
,
Nephews
,
and
other
Kinsmen
to
the
Church
;
some
of
whom
have
become
Cardinals
,
as
Beaufort
,
and
Poole
,
whose
Mother
was
a
Plantagenet
;
I
also
omit
many
Bishops
and
Clergy-men
,
who
for
the
singular
estimation
of
their
sincerity
,
truth
,
and
learning
,
have
beene
made
by
the
Prince
his
Treasurers
,
Chancellors
,
Masters
of
the
Rolles
,
and
preferred
to
other
the
like
honourable
places
of
trust
and
credit
.
And
why
may
we
not
expect
a
re-advancement
of
Learning
Ca●olinis
●isce
temp●ribus
,
wherein
so
many
works
of
Piety
have
beene
undertaken
,
and
the
worthiest
advanced
?
Lewes
the
eleventh
King
of
France
,
would
say
that
his
sonne
should
learne
no
more
Latine
,
than
Qui
nescit
dissimulare
,
nescit
regnare
:
Of
which
opinion
are
many
of
our
times
,
which
is
the
reason
,
that
after
Travaile
they
come
home
as
wise
as
they
went
,
and
hold
their
tongues
,
where
wise
,
and
learned
men
are
in
discourse
;
and
are
left
like
wrecks
in
the
open
Sea
of
the
World
,
without
man
,
Mast
,
or
Rudder
to
direct
them
in
a
right
and
orderly
course
.
Now
where
Knowledge
is
undervalued
,
what
reward
can
a
Master
expect
?
Teaching
being
one
of
the
most
laborious
callings
in
the
World
,
and
the
Schoole
well
termed
Pistrinum
Paedagogicum
.
Hence
the
most
Masters
making
Teaching
a
shift
but
for
a
time
,
till
a
be●ter

,
and
to
say
truth
,
In
Grammatica
senescere
miserri●um
.
A
Master
of
a
Free
Schoole
is
more
absolute
;
to
teach
in
private
houses
,
is
subject
to
many
inconve●iences
;
the
Master
becommet●
more
servile
than
their
servants
,
who
observe
him
to
an
inch
,
(
and
as
commonly
they
are
pick-thanks
)
and
lay
all
the
blame
of
their
young
masters
unlucky
behaviour
upon
his
Master
:
if
hee
falls
in
climbing
a
Dawes
nest
,
his
Master
is
in
fault
;
if
hee
bee
asked
a
question
at
the
Table
by
a
stranger
,
and
is
dumbe
,
his
Mother
swells
,
and
tells
his
Master
,
hee
loseth
his
time
,
and
doth
no
good
,
though
hee
taketh
all
the
paines
with
him
that
possibly
hee
can
.
But
imagine
there
is
a
good
correspondency
held
on
all
sides
;
hee
pleaseth
the
Parents
as
wel
in
paines
taking
,
as
using
the
children
mildly
and
gently
,
they
againe
love
their
Master
:
let
him
expect
no
future
preferment
,
but
onely
(
for
the
present
)
his
bare
stipend
:
But
some
may
tell
him
,
his
Master
hath
ma●y
Benefices
in
his
gift
;
but
beleeve
me
,
not
any
that
ever
he
shall
be
better
:
but
why
not
,
since
he
will
bestow
them
gratis
?
yes
,
in
the
Adjective
,
(
but
not
in
the
Adverbe
)
to
them
that
will
give
most
;
sometimes
if
hee
happens
to
marry
a
Chamber-mayd
of
the
house
,
he
may
fare
the
better
;
neither
much
,
Computatis
computandis
,
for
his
wife
(
for
charge
)
may
stand
him
in
as
much
as
a
small
living
may
be
worth
;
or
if
hee
bee
a
neighbours
childe
,
and
his
father
,
or
some
friend
for
him
will
lay
downe
a
matter
of
seven
or
eight
score
pounds
to
a
second
or
third
man
.
For
Simoniacall
Patrones
are
like
pick-pockets
in
a
throng
,
they
will
not
have
the
purse
and
money
found
about
them
;
they
presently
turne
it
off
to
another
of
their
consorts
not
farre
off
,
who
,
to
avoyd
the
danger
of
the
Law
,
hath
taken
in
lease
his
Advouzons
;
so
hereby
both
the
King
,
Bishop
of
the
Diocesse
,
or
the
Vniver●ities
are
cheated
of
their
right
in
the
next
presentation
.
But
perhaps
his
Schollers
,
when
they
come
to
be
men
,
and
of
themselves
,
will
not
be
forgetfull
of
him
:
let
me
tell
him
,
hee
mu●t
get
him
a
paire
of
leaden
shooes
,
if
he
meanes
to
attend
upon
so
long
and
●edious
hopes
,
and
withall
remember
that
old
monkish
Verse
,
wherein
the
Reason
is
much
better
than
the
Rime
:
Servitium
pueri
,
mulierum
,
&
Black-monachorum●
Est
,
&
erit
semper
,
small
thanks
in
fine
laborum
.
Indeed
in
the
Unive●sities
many
young
Noblemen
,
and
ingenuous
learned
Gentlemen
have
beene
very
gratefull
afterward
to
their
Tutors
and
Teachers
,
and
have
prooved
the
onely
raisers
of
their
fortunes
;
neither
is
heere
any
long
expectation
,
they
being
of
yeeres
of
judgement
to
discerne
a
benefit
,
which
commonly
they
requite
ere
it
be
out-worne
&
forgotten
.
So
that
I
conclude
,
it
is
most
fitting
that
good
Schoolemasters
should
bee
as
well
in
publick
Citties
&
Townes
,
as
private
Gentlemens
houses
;
but
more
fitting
they
should
bee
better
dealt
withal
then
commonly
they
are
in
most
places
:
besides
,
it
were
greatly
to
be
wished
,
that
those
who
tooke
that
profession
upon
them
,
and
found
themselves
able
to
endure
it
,
should
follow
none
other
calling
so
long
as
they
lived
,
and
(
as
in
other
Countries
)
to
be
maintained
by
the
publike
with
large
and
sufficient
stipends
;
so
themselves
would
not
bee
unprovided
in
their
age
,
and
their
schollers
not
bee
turned
over
to
seeke
every
yeere
new
masters
;
than
which
nothing
can
hurt
or
more
hinder
proficiency
in
Learning
.
For
my
part
,
I
have
done
with
that
profession
,
having
evermore
found
the
world
unthankfull
,
how
industrious
soever
I
have
beene
.

sufficient
,
but
new
Authors
are
made
and
brought
to
speake
and
determine
controversies
,
not
onely
in
Divinity
,
but
in
other
Sciences
;
and
like
painted
woodden
Cannons
(
against
the
walls
of
a
weak
towne
)
doe
terrifie
for
a
while
,
but
the
stratagem
is
quickly
discovered
:
and
many
ancient
Authours
that
are
made
to
speake
more
than
they
would
if
they
were
living
,
if
Manutius
hath
spoken
the
truth
;
but
this
by
the
way
:
I
would
know
whether
out
of
a
superlative
singularity
,
or
like
the
Griffons
in
Bactria
)
they
envy
the
world
should
partake
,
and
bee
sharers
of
that
gold
which
they
have
digged
for
.
Many
famous
and
great
Schollers
love
not
to
bee
seene
in
Print
,
(
except
a
necessity
by
command
of
superiors
)
be
layd
upon
them
)
being
as
they
suppose
,
able
to
doe
as
much
with
their
tongues
,
there
being
already
such
a
masse
of
bookes
in
the
world
,
(
which
hath
swallowed
more
than
it
can
digest
)
it
were
a
folly
to
burden
it
with
more
;
especially
there
being
not
the
third
Reader
to
the
fortieth
booke
,
and
the
better
part
of
these
vaine
,
uselesse
,
yea
,
sometimes
impious
;
of
what
sort
are
those
of
Casa
,
Bishop
of
Beneventum
,
Aretine
,
Machiavel
,
and
many
other
;
so
that
among
the
learned
and
wise
it
is
a
great
question
,
whether
Printing
hath
done
more
hurt
or
good
in
the
World
.
Certaine
it
is
,
wee
have
knowledge
now
almost
at
the
height
,
according
to
the
Prophet
Daniel
,
But
say
,
thou
being
a
generall
Scholler
,
a
Traveller
,
an
excellent
Artist
in
one
kind
or
other
,
and
desirest
(
not
out
of
a
vaine
glory
Digito
monstrarier
hic
●st
)
but
of
a
good
minde
of
profitting
,
and
doing
good
to
others
,
to
make
the
World
partaker
of
thy
Knowledge
if
thou
bee'st
a
Scholler
;
or
thy
Observations
,
being
a
Trav●ller
;
or
thy
Experience
or
Invention
,
being
an
Artist
;
having
spent
many
yeeres
,
much
money
,
and
a
great
part
of
thy
life
,
hoping
by
thy
labours
and
honest
deserving
to
get
a
respect
in
the
world
,
or
by
thy
Dedication
the
favour
and
support
of
some
great
personage
for
thy
preferment
,
or
a
good
round
summe
of
a
Stationer
for
thy
Coppy
,
and
it
must
be
a
choice
and
rare
one
too
;
(
which
hee
for
his
owne
gaine
wil
look
●o
)
it
will
hardly
by
a
tenth
part
countervaile
thy
labour
and
charge
.
For
the
respec●
of
the
world
is
nothing
;
nay
,
thou
sh●lt
finde
it
altogether
ingrate
,
and
thy
Reader
readier
to
requite
thee
with
a
jeere
,
or
a
●corne
,
than
a
good
word
to
give
thee
thy
due
;
and
perhaps
out
of
envy
,
because
thou
knowest
more
and
art
learneder
than
hee
:
and
though
thou
hast
a
generall
applause
,
thou
shalt
bee
but
a
nine
daies
wonder
.
But
then
you
may
say
,
the
Dedication
will
bee
worth
a
great
matter
,
either
in
present
reward
of
money
,
or
preferment
by
your
Patrones
Letter
,
or
other
meanes
.
And
for
this
purpose
you
prefixe
a
learned
and
as
Panegyricall
Epistle
as
you
can
,
and
bestow
great
cost
of
the
binding
of
your
booke
,
gilding
and
st●inging
of
it
in
the
best
and
finest
man●er
:
Let
me
tell
thee
,
whosoever
thou
art
,
if
now
adaies
(
such
are
these
times
)
thou
gettest
but
as
much
as
will
pay
for
the
bin●ing
and
st●ings
,
thou
ar●
w●l●
enough
,
the
rest
th●u
sh●ll
have
in
promises
of
gre●●●atters
;
perhaps
yo●
sh●ll
be
w●lled
to
come
ano●her
time
,
but
one
occasion
or
other
will
so
fall
out
,
that
come
never
so
often
,
you
loose
but
your
labour
,
your
great
Patrone
is
not
stirring
,
he
is
abroad
at
Dinner
,
he
is
busie
with
such
a
Lord
;
to
bee
short
,
you
and
your
labour
are
forgotten
:
some
of
his
Pages
in
the
meane
time
having
made
himselfe
of
your
Booke
.
See
now
learned
Authors
,
and
you
Moderne
Poets
,
what
end
your
elaboured
lines
tend
unto
,
and
what
you
gaine
by
your
neate
and
eloquent
Epi●tles
,
wherewith
many
times
you
gild
sencelesse
Statues
,
that
will
teach
you
(
as
they
did
Diogenes
)
patience
when
they
are
sought
and
sued
unto
.
Aretine
,
I
remember
,
giveth
a
Reason
why
Poets
have
not
that
esteeme
,
and
fall
short
of
the
munificence
of
Kings
and
Princes
which
formerly
they
did
partake
of
.
Poets
(
sayth
he
)
now
adayes
are
not
rewarded
for
their
Verses
,
because
their
Patrones
in
their
conscience
find
themselves
not
guilty
of
any
desert
or
merit
,
why
they
should
bee
extolled
by
them
.
Againe
,
an
ingenuous
and
a
●ree
spirit
cannot
Dor●r
les
oreilles
d'
Asne
,
as
the
French
man
sayes
,
doe
honour
to
the
undeserving
;
there
are
many
that
befoole
themselves
this
way
.
Therefore
let
the
booke
you
dedicate
,
sort
with
his
judgement
and
understanding
to
whom
it
is
presented
,
as
neare
as
may
be
,
you
having
formerly
knowne
him
.
I
had
rather
present
any
worke
of
mine
to
a
private
Patron
,
with
whom
I
might
conferre
of
the
subject
,
heare
his
judgment
,
and
speak
mine
freely
:
besides
,
books
are
evermore
best
taken
of
such
,
and
you
bee
esteemed
lesse
ambitious
.
There
be
some
so
highly
upborn
by
the
bladders
of
their
honour
and
greatnesse
,
that
they
receive
your
gi●t
but
as
an
homage
or
a
tribute
due
to
their
transcendency
.
Leaving
those
farther
off
,
let
us
looke
a
little
backe
to
the
Authors
and
Poets
of
late●
time
,
and
consider
how
they
have
thrived
by
their
workes
and
Dedications
.
The
famous
Spen●er
did
never
get
any
preferment
in
his
life
,
save
toward
his
latter
end
hee
became
a
Clerk
of
the
Councell
in
Ireland
;
and
dying
in
England
,
hee
dyed
but
poore
.
When
he
lay
sick
,
the
Noble
,
and
patterne
of
true
Honour
,
Robert
,
Earle
of
Essex
,
sent
him
twenty
pound
,
either
to
relieve
or
bury
him
.
Iosuah
Silvester
admired
for
his
Translation
of
Bartas
,
dyed
at
Middleborough
,
a
Factor
for
our
English
Merchants
,
having
had
very
little
or
no
reward
at
all
,
either
for
his
paines
or
Dedication
:
And
honest
Mr.
Michael
Drayton
had
about
some
five
pound
lying
by
him
at
his
death
,
which
was
Satis
viatici
ad
coelum
,
as
William
Warham
,
Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
answered
his
Steward
,
(
when
lying
upon
his
death-bed
,
he
had
asked
him
how
much
money
hee
had
in
the
house
,
hee
told
his
Grace
Thirty
pounds
.
)
I
have
(
I
confesse
)
published
things
of
mine
owne
heretofore
,
but
I
never
gained
one
halfe-penny
by
any
Dedication
that
ever
I
made
,
save
splendida
promissa
,
(
and
as
Plutarch
saith
)
Byssina
verba
:
Neither
cared
I
much
;
for
what
I
did
,
was
to
please
my selfe
onely
.
So
that
I
would
wish
no
friend
of
mine
in
these
daies
to
make
further
use
of
English
Poesie
than
in
Epitaphs
,
Emblemes
,
or
Encomiasticks
for
Friends
:
Yet
i●
his
veine
bee
for
Latine
,
not
to
restraine
himselfe
herein
;
for
hereby
he
shall
doe
honour
to
our
Nation
,
and
become
a
man
,
though
not
of
Mars
,
yet
of
Martes
,
getting
himselfe
heereby
the
name
and
reputation
of
a
Scholler
.
As
all
other
Excellency
,
so
Latine
Poësie
is
valued
at
an
higher
rate
abroad
,
than
with
us
in
England
,
(
albeit
our
wits
are
nothing
inferior
to
theirs
)
and
more
bountifully
in
all
places
rewarded
.
Sint
Moecenates
,
non
deerunt
Fla●ce
Maro●es
.
Amongst
us
let
Moecenases
but
be
,
And
(
Flaccus
)
Virgils
thou
●now
shalt
see
.
I
confesse
I
have
spent
too
many
good
houres
in
this
folly
and
fruitlesse
exercise
,
having
beene
ever
naturally
addicted
to
those
Arts
and
Sciences
which
consist
of
proportion
and
number
,
as
Painting
,
Musicke
,
and
Poetry
,
and
the
Mathematical
Sciences
:
but
now
having
shaken
hands
with
those
vanities
,
(
being
exercised
in
another
Calling
)
I
bid
them
(
though
unwillingly
,
and
as
friends
doe
at
parting
with
some
reluctancy
)
Adie●
,
and
am
with
Horace
his
old
Sencer
forced
to
say
,
—
Veiani●●
armis
Herculis
ad
po●tem
fixis
latet
abditus
agro
.
Of
Liberty
.
THere
is
nothing
so
sweete
and
agreeable
to
the
nature
of
Man
,
next
unto
his
health
,
as
his
liberty
,
which
,
according
to
Tullies
definition
hereof
,
is
an
Arbitrium
vivendiut
velis
,
The
choice
of
living
as
a
man
list
himselfe
.
Wherefore
Paracelsus
(
that
glory
of
Germany
,
for
his
depth
of
knowledge
in
the
nature
of
Minerals
)
to
shew
his
true
happinesse
herein
,
when
hee
travelled
by
the
way
,
and
came
to
his
Inne
at
night
,
the
first
thing
hee
did
,
he
would
lay
his
sword
upon
the
Table
,
professing
hee
would
not
give
the
same
to
bee
Emperour
of
Germany
:
it
was
a
long
broad
sword
,
and
had
engraven
upon
the
blade
this
:
Alterius
non
sit
qui
suus
esse
potest
.
As
being
the
Embleme
of
his
Libe●ty
:
In
the
pommell
(
which
was
hollow
,
and
to
bee
opened
with
a
skrew
)
were
all
his
chiefe
Quintessencies
,
and
spiri●s
of
Metalls
and
Hearbs
,
wherewith
hee
cured
the
most
desperate
Diseases
,
gaining
hereby
infinite
treasure
and
summes
of
money
.
And
the
old
Burgundians
possessing
that
part
of
Germany
which
belongeth
at
this
time
to
the
Lantgrave
of
Hessen
,
to
expresse
their
hatred
to
bondage
,
and
their
love
of
Liberty
,
gave
in
their
warlicke
Ensigne
a
Cat
,
because
no
creature
in
the
world
is
more
impatient
of
bondage
than
it
;
for
put
her
into
a
cage
or
grate
,
shee
never
will
bee
quiet
,
but
rather
beate
her selfe
to
death
there
,
than
want
her
liberty
.
Hence
that
Prince
is
called
Princeps
Catorum
,
and
in
the
Germane
,
Die
Lantgraffe
von
Hessen
:
Hesse
as
well
in
the
high
as
low
Dutch
signifying
a
Cat
;
for
as
wee
call
heere
Pusse
,
so
they
there
Hesse
:
yet
in
Gelderland
they
call
her
Pous
as
we
doe
.
Servitude
was
as
a
curse
pronounced
to
them
who
had
offended
God
,
and
transgressed
his
Law
;
as
Noah
cursed
Canaan
,
saying
,
A
servant
of
servants
shall
he
be
unto
his
brethren
:
There
is
also
the
want
of
halfe
a
mans
Liberty
in
Marriage
;
for
he
is
not
ab●olutely
himselfe
,
though
many
beleeve
,
when
they
are
going
to
Church
upon
their
Wedding-day
,
they
are
going
into
the
Land
of
Liberty
:
But
Salomon
telleth
them
,
The
foole
laugheth
when
he
is
going
to
the
stocks
.
For
my
part
,
I
am
not
married
;
if
I
were
,
I
should
finde
my
wings
clipt
,
and
the
collar
too
streight
for
my
neck
.
The
Low
countries
having
tasted
the
sweetnesse
of
their
liberty
,
when
they
had
shaken
off
the
yoake
of
Spaine
,
gave
for
their
Embleme
a
Lyon
,
who
having
slipt
his
collar
,
look't
behind
him
to
the
●ame
,
with
this
Liber
Le●
revinciri●escit
:
An
absolute
man
ca●not
be
he
who
wanteth
his
liberty
.
Who
enjoy
their
liberty
,
commonly
are
longer
lived
than
others
who
want
it
;
they
are
more
able
in
wit
and
judgement
,
they
are
more
usefull
to
the
Common-wealth
,
when
the
rest
are
but
Vmbratiles
,
but
shadows
of
men
;
they
have
done
the
best
workes
either
of
wit
,
or
expence
;
they
are
the
fastest
&
truest
friends
:
lastly
,
they
have
beene
the
fairest
presidents
of
Piety
and
Goodnesse
.
But
you
tell
me
,
every
man
cannot
enjoy
that
condition
,
but
some
(
yea
,
the
most
)
must
serve
,
and
obey
:
It
is
true
;
I
onely
speake
of
the
ingenuous
,
and
those
as
may
,
if
it
please
them
,
be
fabri
fati
sui
,
shape
out
their
owne
fortune
,
yet
rather
choose
a
servile
condition
,
before
Liberty
and
Freedome
:
as
if
a
Master
of
Arts
should
turne
Gentleman
Vsher
to
an
ordinary
Lady
;
or
a
Lieutenant
in
the
warres
leave
his
honourable
profession
to
become
a
Lords
Porter
;
or
like
a
foolish
Vicar
in
Lincolnshire
who
would
suffer
his
wife
to
raise
him
in
cold
winter
mornings
to
make
her
a
fire
.
Some
againe
are
by
nature
so
base
and
obsequious
,
that
being
overcome
with
the
presence
of
those
who
were
greater
or
braver
then
themselves
,
they
sooth
him
up
,
and
foolishly
applaud
and
admire
whatsoever
hee
sayes
;
and
if
hee
speakes
in
his
owne
opinion
any
thing
wisely
,
or
like
a
Statist
,
and
looketh
about
him
for
applause
,
they
reply
,
Your
H●nor
or
Worship
is
in
the
●ight
,
the
best
Counsellor
the
King
hath
,
could
not
have
spoken
to
better
purpose
,
God
maintaine
your
life
,
if
some
would
be
rul'd
by
you
it
would
bee
better
for
all
England
;
wi●h
the
like
grosse
and
palpable
flattery
.
And
if
happely
he
utter
a●y
thing
savouring
of
a
j●st
,
they
feigne
a
Sardonian●mile
●mile
by
way
of
allowance
of
his
facetious
conceipt
.
And
indeed
many
there
are
so
stately
,
&
affecting
greatnesse
after
so
foolish
a
manner
,
that
they
become
ridicul●us
,
in
suffering
men
oft-times
as
good
as
themselves
to
stand
bare
before
them
three
or
foure
houres
together
,
and
therefore
many
times
they
hold
them
in
talk
for
the
purpose
,
in
expecting
the
title
of
Honor
or
Worship
at
every
word
that
is
spoken
,
as
if
they
were
the
Constables
of
the
next
Wapentake
.
Somtime
they
will
bee
bold
to
commaund
you
as
their
menial
servant
,
which
also
you
must
take
as
a
favour
.
In
briefe
,
I
will
ever
commend
that
gentile
freedome
of
the
French
nation
,
who
affect
servility
least
of
all
other
,
especially
that
of
standing
bare
,
yea
even
in
waiting
at
the
ta●le
,
were
it
before
the
greate●t
Lord
in
France
,
(
they
usually
bringing
up
the
dishes
with
their
hats
on
their
heads
)
as
also
in
freedome
of
speech
,
whereof
none
save
sl●ves
are
debarred
.
For
mine
owne
part
I
affect
freedome
so
much
,
and
I
have
found
such
happinesse
therein
,
that
I
had
rather
dine
even
at
a
three
peny
Ordinary
,
where
I
may
be
free
and
merry
,
then
to
bee
a
dumbe
tenant
for
two
houres
at
a
Lords
table
,
preferring
health
and
liberty
,
bonc
corporis
,
before
those
of
Fortune
,
and
all
the
wealth
the
greatest
Vsurer
hath
in
the
wo●ld
,
and
will
ever
say
,
O
bona
libertas
pretio
,
pretiosior
omni
.
Of
Opinion
.
OPinion
is
a
Mon●ter
of
more
heads
then
Hercules
his
Hydra
;
and
if
one
happely
be
cut
off
,
another
ariseth
forthwith
in
the
roome
.
One
day
when
I
walking
in
Breda
in
Brabant
not
farre
from
the
Market
place
,
I
passed
by
a
Gentleman
or
Merchants
house
,
over
whose
great
ga●es
was
written
in
letters
of
gold
upon
a
blew
ground
,
Totus
mundus
regitur
opinione
.
I
stood
still
,
and
pondering
upon
it
,
I
found
wi●ty
and
weighty
,
to
concerne
the
whole
world
,
and
every
one
in
particular
,
and
my selfe
especially
at
that
time
,
since
I
thought
it
to
bee
the
best
that
I
had
seene
,
which
perhaps
another
would
have
disliked
.
And
I
have
often
wondered
why
the
ancient
Pagans
in
their
deifying
so
many
,
passed
by
Opinion
,
bearing
a
f●r
greater
sway
then
dogs
,
onions
and
leeks
in
AEgypt
,
Cui
nomen
crescebat
in
hortis
.
Yet
it
is
no
great
wonder
,
since
deifying
was
wont
to
bee
done
with
a
generall
consent
,
Opinion
was
never
to
expect
it
,
every
man
where
she
reignes
being
of
a
severall
minde
.
It
was
but
Opinion
that
caused
Count
Martinengo
of
Italy
,
of
a
noble
house
,
and
of
an
exceeding
great
estate
to
marrie
a
common
Laundresse
,
whereupon
within
two
or
three
dayes
following
,
Pasquin
i●
Rome
had
a
foule
shirt
put
upon
his
back
and
underneath
this
in
Italian
,
Perche
Pasquin●
,
&c.
Pasquin
how
haps
it
thou
hast
a
foule
shirt
on
upon
a
Sunday
morning
?
Risposto
.
Because
my
Launderesse
is
made
a
Countesse
.
It
is
but
Opinion
that
makes
all
the
marriages
in
the
world
;
for
there
is
no
beauty
,
favour
,
or
complexion
,
but
is
loved
and
liked
of
by
one
or
other
,
Nature
so
providing
,
that
none
might
be
lost
for
having
.
It
is
but
Opinion
that
great
Ladies
many
times
marry
their
grooms
,
refusing
great
men
,
and
of
great
meanes
.
It
is
but
Opinion
that
one
goes
to
Rome
,
another
to
New
England
,
and
a
third
to
Amsterdam
.
It
is
also
but
Opinion
that
a
proud
cox●combe
in
the
fashion
,
wearing
Taffata
,
and
an
ill
favored
locke
on
his
shoulder
,
thinkes
all
that
weare
cloth
,
and
are
out
of
fashion
,
to
be
clownes
,
base
,
and
unworthie
his
acquaintance
.
So
that
Opinion
is
the
Compasse
the
foole
onely
saileth
by
in
the
vast
Ocean
of
Ignorance
:
for
hereby
vices
are
taken
for
virtues
,
and
so
the
contrary
;
and
all
the
errors
that
men
commit
in
their
whole
lives
,
is
for
want
of
the
line
and
levell
of
an
eaven
and
true
judgement
,
and
it
is
the
very
rock
whereat
many
,
yea
the
most
make
shipwracke
of
their
credits
,
estates
,
and
lives
.
That
Embleme
was
a
pretty
one
,
which
was
an
old
woman
who
having
gathered
up
into
her
apron
many
dead
mens
skuls
,
which
shee
found
scattered
upon
the
ground
,
with
an
intent
to
lay
them
up
in
a
charnell
house
,
but
her
apron
slipping
upon
a
hill
where
she
stood
,
some
ran
one
way
,
and
some
another
;
which
the
old
woman
seeing
,
Nay
(
quoth
shee
)
goe
your
waies
,
for
thus
ye
differed
in
your
opinion
when
ye
had
life
,
every
one
taking
his
severall
way
as
he
fancied
.
There
is
no
Writer
,
none
of
publique
or
private
employment
in
the
common
wealth
,
but
passeth
in
danger
by
the
denne
of
this
one-eyed
Polyphemus
.
And
while
I
write
,
by
how
many
opinions
am
I
censured
?
one
saying
one
thing
,
and
another
another
,
but
I
am
not
so
unhappy
as
to
feare
or
care
for
them
;
I
hold
on
a
direct
course
,
and
will
never
strike
saile
to
Rovers
.
Of
following
the
Fashion
.
ECclesiasticus
saith
,
that
by
gate
,
laughter
,
and
apparell
,
a
man
is
knowne
what
he
is
.
Truly
nothing
more
discovereth
the
gravity
or
levity
of
the
minde
then
apparell
.
I
never
knew
a
solid
or
wise
man
to
affect
this
popular
vanity
;
which
cau●ed
Henry
the
4.
of
France
to
say
usually
of
his
Counsellors
,
and
learneder
sort
of
his
Courtiers
,
that
they
had
so
much
within
them
,
that
they
never
cared
to
beg
regard
from
feathers
and
gold
lace
:
and
himselfe
would
commonly
goe
as
plaine
as
an
ordinary
Gentleman
or
Citizen
,
onely
in
blacke
,
sometime
in
a
suit
no
better
then
buckram
.
The
Emperour
Charles
the
5.
seldome
or
never
ware
any
gold
or
silver
about
him
,
save
his
Order
of
the
Fleece
.
And
the
plainnesse
of
our
English
Kings
in
former
times
hath
beene
very
remarkable
.
King
Henry
the
8.
was
the
first
that
ever
ware
a
band
about
his
neck
,
and
that
very
plaine
,
without
lace
,
and
about
an
inch
or
two
in
depth
.
Wee
may
see
how
the
case
is
altered
,
hee
is
not
a
Gentleman
,
nor
in
the
fashion
,
whose
●and
of
Italian
cut-work
now
standeth
him
not
at
the
least
in
three
or
foure
pounds
.
Yea
a
Semster
in
Holborne
told
mee
that
there
are
of
threescore
pound
price
a
piece
;
and
shoo-tyes
,
that
goe
under
the
name
of
Roses
,
from
thirty
shillings
to
three
,
foure
,
and
five
pounds
the
paire
.
Yea
a
Gallant
of
the
time
not
long
since
,
payd
thirty
pound
for
a
paire
.
I
would
have
had
him
by
him selfe
to
have
eaten
that
●ish
of
buttered
Egges
prepared
with
Muske
and
Ambergreece
,
which
cost
thirty
and
five
pounds
,
and
when
his
belly
had
beene
full
,
to
have
laid
him
to
sleep
upon
my
Lady
N.
bed
,
whose
furniture
cost
her
Ladiship
five
hundred
and
threescore
pounds
.
I
never
knew
any
wholly
affected
to
follow
fashions
,
to
have
beene
any
way
usefull
or
profitable
to
the
common
wealth
,
except
that
way
Aristotle
affirmeth
the
prodigall
man
to
be
,
by
scattering
his
money
about
to
the
benefit
of
many
,
Tailors
,
Semsters
,
Silkmen
,
&c.
Neither
ever
knew
I
any
man
esteemed
the
better
or
the
wiser
for
his
braverie
,
but
among
●imple
people
.
Now
this
thing
we
call
the
Fashion
,
so
much
hunted
and
pursued
after
(
like
a
thiefe
with
an
Hue
and
Cry
)
that
our
●aylors
dog
it
into
France
even
to
the
very
doore
.
It
reignes
commonly
like
an
Epidemicall
disease
,
first
infecting
the
Court
,
then
the
City
,
after
the
Country
;
from
the
Countesse
to
the
Chambriere
,
who
rather
than
shee
will
want
her
curled
lockes
,
will
turne
them
up
with
a
hot
paire
of
tongs
,
in
stead
of
the
irons
.
The
Fashion
(
like
an
highe●
Orbe
)
hath
the
revolution
commonly
every
hundred
yeare
,
when
the
same
comes
into
request
againe
;
which
I
saw
once
in
Antwerpe
handsomly
described
by
an
hee
and
shee
foole
,
turning
a
wheele
about
,
with
hats
,
hose
,
and
doublets
in
the
fashion
,
fastned
round
about
it
,
which
when
they
were
below
,
began
to
mount
up
againe
,
as
we
see
them
.
For
example
,
in
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
7.
the
slashed
double●s
now
used
were
in
request
,
only
the
coats
of
the
Kings
Guard
keepe
the
same
form
they
did
,
since
they
were
first
given
them
by
the
said
King
,
who
was
the
first
king
of
England
that
had
a
guard
about
his
person
,
and
that
by
the
advice
of
Sir
William
Stanley
,
who
was
shortly
after
beheaded
for
treason
,
albeit
he
set
the
Crowne
(
found
throwne
in
a
hawthorne
bush
)
upon
the
kings
head
in
the
field
.
After
that
the
Flemish
fashion
in
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
8.
came
in
request
,
of
strait
doublets
,
huge
breches
let
out
with
puffes
,
and
cod
pieces
.
In
Queene
Maries
time
the
Spanish
was
much
in
use
.
In
Queene
Elizabeths
time
were
the
great
bellied
doublets
,
wide
sawcy
sleeves
,
that
would
be
in
every
dish
before
their
master
,
and
buttons
as
big
as
Tablemen
,
or
the
lesser
sort
of
Sandwich
Turnips
;
with
huge
r●ffes
that
●tood
like
Cart
wheeles
about
their
neckes
,
and
round
breeches
not
much
unlike
Saint
Omers
onions
,
whereto
the
long
stocking
without
garters
was
joyned
,
which
then
was
the
Earle
of
Leicesters
fashion
,
and
theirs
who
had
the
handsomest
legge
.
The
women
wore
strait
bodyed
gowns
,
with
narrow
sleeves
●rawne
out
wi●h
Lawne
or
fine
C●mbricke
in
puffe
,
with
high
bolstered
wings
,
little
ruffes
edged
with
gold
or
blacke
●ilke
;
and
maides
wore
cawles
of
gold
,
now
quite
out
of
use
.
Chaines
of
gold
were
then
of
Lords
,
Knights
,
and
Gentlemen
commonly
worne
,
but
a
chaine
of
Gold
now
(
to
so
high
a
rate
Gold
is
raised
)
is
as
much
as
some
of
them
are
worth
.
The
like
variety
hath
been
in
Hats
,
which
have
beene
but
of
late
yeares
.
Henry
the
4.
is
commonly
pourtrayed
with
a
hood
on
his
head
,
such
as
the
Liveries
of
the
City
weare
on
their
shoulders
.
Henry
the
6.
the
7.
and
8.
wore
onely
Caps
.
King
Philip
in
England
wore
commonly
a
somwhat
high
velvet
Cap
,
with
a
white
feather
.
After
came
in
hats
of
a●l
fashions
,
some
with
crowns
so
high
,
that
beholding
them
farre
off
,
you
would
have
thought
you
had
discovered
the
Tenariffe
,
those
close
to
the
head
like
Barbers
basons
,
with
narrow
brimmes
,
wee
were
at
that
time
beholden
to
Cadiz
in
Spaine
for
.
After
them
came
up
those
with
square
crownes
,
and
brimmes
almost
as
broad
as
a
Brewers
mash-fat
,
or
a
reasonable
upper
stone
of
a
Mustard
querne
,
which
among
my
other
Epigrammes
gave
me
occasion
of
this
:
Soranzo's
broad
brimd
hat
I
oft
compare
To
the
vast
compasse
of
the
heavenly
sphaere
:
His
head
the
Earths
globe
,
fixed
under
it
,
Whose
Center
is
,
his
wondrous
little
wit
.
No
lesse
variety
hath
bin
in
hat-bands
,
the
Cipresse
being
now
quite
out
of
use
,
save
among
some
few
of
the
graver
sort
.
Wherefore
the
Spaniard
and
Dutch
are
much
to
bee
commended
,
who
for
some
hundreds
of
yeares
never
altered
their
f●shion
,
but
have
kept
alwayes
one
and
the
same
.
The
Switzers
ever
since
that
fatall
and
finall
overthrow
which
they
gave
to
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
at
Nancy
in
Lorrain
,
have
worn
their
party
coloured
doublets
,
breeches
,
and
cod
pieces
,
drawne
out
with
huge
puffes
of
Taffata
,
or
Linen
,
and
their
●tockings
(
like
the
knaves
of
our
Cards
)
party
coloured
,
of
red
and
yellow
or
other
colours
.
I
remember
at
the
taking
in
of
the
towne
of
R●es
in
Cleveland
,
betweene
Wesel
&
Embrick
upon
the
river
of
Rhine
,
(
I
being
there
at
the
same
time
)
when
a
part
of
the
Swisse
quarter
,
being
before
the
towne
,
was
by
accident
burned
,
I
demanded
of
a
Swisse
Captaine
the
reason
of
their
so
much
affecting
colors
above
other
nations
:
he
told
me
the
occasion
was
honourable
,
which
was
this
:
At
what
time
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
received
his
overthrow
,
and
the
Swisses
recovering
their
liberty
,
he
entred
the
field
in
all
the
state
and
pompe
hee
could
possible
devise
,
hee
brought
with
him
all
his
Plate
and
Iewels
,
all
his
Tents
were
of
silke
,
of
severall
colours
,
which
the
battaile
being
ended
,
being
torne
all
to
pieces
by
the
Swisse
souldiers
,
of
a
part
of
one
colour
they
made
them
doublets
,
of
the
rest
of
other
colours
breeches●
stockings
,
and
caps
,
returning
home
in
that
habit
;
so
ever
since
in
remembrance
of
that
famous
victory
by
them
atchieved
,
and
their
liberty
recovered
,
even
to
this
day
they
goe
still
in
their
party-colours
.
Let
mee
not
forget
to
tell
you
the
occasion
of
this
mortall
warre
;
it
was
onely
as
Guicciardine
tels
us
,
but
for
the
toll
of
a
loade
of
calves
skins
comming
over
a
bridge
,
which
toll
the
Duke
claimed
as
his
right
,
and
the
Swisses
theirs
.
But
this
by
the
way
.
I
have
much
wondered
why
our
English
above
other
nations
should
so
much
doat
upon
new
fashions
,
but
more
I
wonder
at
our
want
of
wit
,
that
wee
cannot
invent
them
our selves
,
but
when
one
is
growne
sta●e
runne
presently
over
into
France
,
to
seeke
a
new
,
making
that
noble
and
flourishing
Kingdome
the
magazin
of
our
fooleries
:
and
for
this
purpose
many
of
our
Tailors
lye
leger
there
,
and
Ladies
post
over
their
gentlemen
Vshers
,
to
accoutre
them
and
themselves
as
you
see
.
Hence
came
your
slashed
doublets
(
as
if
the
wearers
were
cut
out
to
be
carbonado'd
upon
the
coales
)
and
your
halfe
shirts
,
pickadillies
(
now
out
of
request
)
your
long
breeches
,
narrow
towards
the
knees
,
like
a
payre
of
Smiths
bellowes
;
the
spangled
Garters
pendant
to
the
shooe
,
your
perfumed
perrukes
or
periwigs
,
to
shew
us
that
lost
hai●e
may
bee
had
againe
for
money
;
with
a
thousand
such
fooleries
,
unknowne
to
our
manly
forefathers
.
It
was
a
saying
of
that
noble
Romane
Cato
,
Cui
corporis
summa
cura
,
ei
virtutis
maxima
incuria
;
and
most
true
it
is
,
since
on
the
contrary
we
daily
finde
by
experience
,
our
greatest
Scholers
and
Statists
to
offend
on
the
contrary
part
,
being
car●●●sse
,
and
sometime
slovenly
in
their
apparell
,
that
many
times
(
their
thoughts
being
taken
up
with
studious
and
profound
meditations
)
they
forget
to
button
or
to
trusse
themselves
,
they
love
their
old
clothes
better
than
new
,
they
care
not
for
curious
setting
their
ruffe
,
wearing
cuffes
,
&c.
Erasmus
in
Epistolis
I
remember
reporteth
of
Sir
Thomas
Moore
,
that
à
puer●
in
vestitu
semper
fuit
negligentissimus
;
and
I
beleeve
it
to
bee
most
true
that
God
hath
said
by
the
mouth
of
his
Prophet
,
That
he
will
visit
,
or
send
his
plague
among
such
as
are
clothed
with
strange
apparell
.
Of
Friendship
and
Acquaintance
.
I
Have
ever
found
the
most
solid
and
durable
friendship
to
have
beene
among
equalls
,
equalls
in
age
,
manners
,
estates
,
and
professions
,
that
with
in●eriours
is
subject
to
many
inconveniences
,
as
lavish
&
needlesse
expending
,
lending
,
importunity
of
entreaty
,
and
somtimes
discredit
.
On
the
contrary
,
that
with
superiours
(
which
I
cannot
properly
call
friendship
)
but
raiseth
or
depresseth
a
man
in
valuation
high
or
low
,
as
they
please
themselves
;
and
this
friendship
is
but
a
kinde
of
subjection
or
slavery
.
As
he
is
your
friend
,
a
great
man
inviteth
you
to
dinner
to
his
table
,
the
sweetnesse
of
that
favour
and
kindnes
is
made
distastfull
by
the
awe
of
his
greatnesse
,
in
his
presence
not
to
be
covered
,
to
●it
downe
,
and
to
be
placed
where
and
under
whom
he
pleaseth
,
to
be
tongue-tyed
all
the
while
,
though
you
bee
able
to
speake
more
to
the
purpose
than
himselfe
and
all
his
company
;
while
you
whisper
in
a
waiters
ear
for
any
thing
that
you
want
,
you
must
endure
to
bee
carv●d
unto
,
many
times
of
the
first
,
worst
,
or
rawest
of
the
meat
;
sometime
you
have
a
piece
preferred
unto
you
from
his
owne
trencher
,
but
then
imagine
his
belly
is
ful
,
or
he
cannot
for
some
other
reason
ea●e
it
himselfe
;
so
that
for
true
and
free
content
you
were
better
seeke
your
dinner
with
some
honest
companion
in
Pie-corner
.
Beside
,
they
love
you
should
have
a
kinde
of
dependency
of
them
,
that
they
might
make
use
of
you
at
their
pleasure
,
if
you
be
well
qualified
,
●ewarding
you
with
promises
&
overtures
of
great
matters
of
future
hope
,
in
the
meane
time
you
must
live
onely
by
countenance
,
&
shift
for
your selfe
.
In
a
word
,
to
trust
to
this
superlative
Friendship●
is
but
as
an
earthen
pot
,
to
joyne
your selfe
to
one
of
bras●e
,
who
under
a
colour
of
assisting
you
in
the
streame
,
wil
cracke
your
sides
one
way
or
other
.
And
it
is
one
thing
to
bee
necessitous
and
stand
in
need
of
great
ones
friendship
,
and
another
out
of
your
election
to
apply
your selfe
to
such
wherof
I
only
speak
.
So
that
the
first
point
of
discretion
in
the
choice
of
a
friend
,
is
to
know
whether
he
be
reall
or
superficiall
,
whether
hee
aymeth
at
his
own
ends
,
or
tendereth
and
is
willing
to
advance
your
good
.
Indeed
Poverty
and
Necessity
(
according
to
Saint
Hierome
)
be
touch●tones
for
the
triall
of
reall
Friendship
.
Ob
hoc
unicum
(
saith
he
)
amanda
est
paupertas
,
ut
a
quibus
ameris
intelligas
.
Yet
according
to
Seneca
,
not
the
truest
and
the
best
,
Amor
virtutis
est
morum
similitudo
:
the
love
of
Virtue
,
and
likenesse
of
Manners
,
begetteth
amongst
men
the
most
solid
and
durable
Friendship
.
Sometimes
there
is
a
sympathy
in
Nature
,
whereby
one
man
affecteth
the
friendship
and
acquaintance
of
another
,
whom
before
he
never
saw
in
his
life
,
yea
&
it
may
be
whom
hee
never
saw
at
all
:
as
a
Dutchesse
of
Burgundy
fell
in
love
with
a
Nobleman
whom
she
only
heard
two
strangers
commend
for
his
person
and
rare
qualities
,
walking
on
the
other
side
of
a
River
,
neere
to
her
Court
.
The
common
and
ordinary
friendship
of
the
world
is
measured
by
the
benefit
that
one
man
reaps
by
another
,
according
to
Ovid.
Turpe
quidem
dictu
sed
si
modò
vera
fatemur
Vulgus
amicitias
utilitate
probat
:
Sed
vix
invenias
multis
in
millibus
unum
.
Virtutis
pretio
qui
putat
esse
sui
.
And
this
Friendship
for
the
most
part
lives
and
expires
with
mens
lives
and
their
Fortunes
,
and
indeed
merits
not
the
name
of
friendship
.
I
confesse
my selfe
to
have
found
more
friendship
at
a
strangers
hand
whom
I
never
in
my
life
saw
before
,
yea
,
and
in
forraine
parts
beyond
the
seas
,
then
among
the
most
of
my
neerest
kindred
and
old
acquaintance
here
in
England
,
who
have
profes●ed
much
towards
mee
in
empty
promises
.
The
ordinary
friendship
of
our
times
is
but
meere
acquaintance
,
whose
utmost
bound
and
extent
is
,
in
the
Country
entertainment
for
you
and
your
horse
a
night
or
two
;
in
the
City
,
an
old
acquaintance
meets
you
,
and
with
admiration
,
Good
Lord
(
saith
he
)
are
you
alive
yet
!
when
he
sees
him
,
and
speakes
to
him
;
then
at
the
next
Taverne
gives
you
a
pinte
or
a
quart
of
wine
:
at
the
Court
,
you
are
shewne
the
King
or
the
Queene
at
dinner
.
So
that
if
among
one
hundred
of
your
acquaintance
,
yea
five
hundred
,
you
meet
with
two
or
three
faithfull
friends
,
think
your selfe
happy
,
such
is
the
world
in
our
cunning
age
.
You
may
also
bee
much
deceived
by
overweening
,
taking
those
for
friends
which
indeed
are
not
;
such
friendshippe
you
ordinarily
meet
with
over
a
cuppe
of
wine
in
a
Taverne
,
where
they
will
call
you
brother
,
and
promise
you
all
kindnes
by
giving
you
their
hands
,
and
the
next
morning
(
when
the
grosser
parts
of
the
wine
are
turned
to
melancholike
dregs
)
as
is
usuall
with
the
Dutchmen
,
they
looke
on
you
like
Lyons
,
and
never
were
the
men
.
The
vowes
of
such
vanish
into
aire
,
to
the
often
losse
of
your
labour
in
visiting
,
soliciting
,
and
attending
them
at
their
houses
or
chambers
.
Sometimes
you
shall
be
so
injuriously
dealt
withall
,
as
by
beleeving
their
promises
,
you
shall
in
hope
take
tedious
journeies
,
to
London
,
the
Court
,
and
other
places
,
and
when
you
have
done
all
,
you
shall
only
finde
your
horse
tyred
,
your
pur●e
emptied
,
and
your selfe
in
your
expectation
meerely
abused
.
So
I
wish
thee
whosoever
thou
art
,
to
have
as
little
to
doe
with
these
transcendent
great
ones
on
the
one
side
,
as
the
uselesse
inferiours
and
va●ltneants
on
the
other
.
I
have
often
considered
with
my
sel●e
,
whether
a
man
were
the
better
or
the
worse
for
multitude
of
acquaintance
;
I
co●cluded
generally
the
worse
,
considering
the
most
are
of
no
use
u●to
us
,
casting
into
the
account
the
expence
of
money
,
losse
of
time
,
and
neglect
of
businesse
.
The
best
acquaintance
is
with
such
as
you
may
better
your self
by
,
any
way
,
especially
in
knowledge
by
discourse
and
conference
,
(
which
was
the
ancient
course
of
learning
,
according
to
Euripides
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Converse
was
the
mother
of
Arts
)
either
with
general
Schollers
,
Travellers
,
such
as
are
skilled
in
the
tongues
,
and
in
mechanicall
Arts
,
for
by
conversing
with
such
you
shall
husband
your
time
to
the
best
,
and
take
the
shortest
cut
to
knowledge●
beside
,
the
keeping
of
such
company
getteth
you
the
reputation
of
being
understanding
and
learned
as
they
are
,
though
yet
a
puis●e
and
a
novice
in
their
studies
and
professions
.
The
best
way
to
pre●erve
a
gotten
f●iend
,
is
thankfully
to
acknowledge
the
benefit
you
have
received
from
him
.
To
endeavour
all
you
can
to
requi●e
his
curte●ie
some
way
or
other
.
To
use
him
tenderly
,
and
not
oft
,
and
then
but
in
cases
of
necessity
,
when
(
as
a
good
sword
)
you
shall
see
what
mettall
he
is
made
of
.
To
give
him
no
occasion
by
your
ill
cariage
or
unthriftinesse
to
thinke
ill
of
you
.
To
goe
on
in
an
honest
way
and
calling
,
that
hee
may
thinke
his
courtesies
well
bestowed
,
and
bee
the
readier
to
assis●
and
further
you
;
for
commonly
friends
accumulate
one
good
turne
upon
another
,
especially
where
they
have
found
the
former
to
have
beene
seasonably
and
profitably
bestowed
.
Of
Parents
and
Children
.
ALL
Parents
are
naturally
indulgent
to
their
children
,
especially
while
they
are
young
;
yet
the
height
of
their
affection
,
or
coldnesse
of
love
towards
them
,
appeareth
not
untill
they
are
of
riper
yeares
,
at
what
time
they
doe
them
equall
wrong
either
in
giving
them
the
reine
of
liberty
and
spending
,
or
being
over
harsh
,
unnaturall
,
and
hard
hearted
over
them
.
I
have
knowne
excellent
spirits
,
and
many
noble
wits
lost
and
undone
either
way
.
Some
Mothers
when
their
children
are
young
are
so
fond
over
them
,
●s
by
no
meanes
they
will
endure
them
out
of
their
sight
,
much
lesse
send
them
abroad
to
schoole
,
or
to
be
nurtured
by
others
abroad
,
by
whom
they
profit
more
then
at
home
.
Hence
it
comes
to
passe
that
so
many
great
and
rich
mens
sonnes
and
heyres
,
when
they
come
toward
men●
estate
,
are
so
simple
and
easie
to
bee
wrought
upon
by
craftie
knaves
and
cheaters
.
Hence
we
see
them
often
brought
upon
the
Stage
under
the
names
of
Sir
Simple
,
Iohn
Daw
,
Abraham
Ninny
,
and
the
like
,
their
st●dy
being
nothing
else
but
the
newest
fashion
,
what
Tavern
to
goe
to
dinner
to
,
or
stare
at
every
post
to
see
where
the
newest
play
is
that
aftern●one
.
I
knew
a
great
Lady
that
had
onely
one
sonne
of
some
fourteene
or
fifteene
yeare●
of
age
,
whom
indeed
shee
would
have
brought
up
at
schoole
,
but
he
must
go
when
himselfe
listed
,
and
have
two
men
to
carry
him
thither
,
&
to
bring
him
home
again
to
dinner
&
supper
;
hee
was
once
in
my
charge
,
and
I
remember
not
a
bit
of
meat
would
downe
with
him
without
sawce
,
which
must
be
extraordinary
too
,
as
the
juice
of
limmons
with
sugar
and
rose
water
.
Sometime
if
it
were
a
dainty
fowle
,
as
Patric●
,
Gray
Plover
,
or
the
like
,
he
must
have
wine
mixed
with
bread
crummes
,
and
the
juice
of
an
Orenge
;
Pepper
he
could
not
abide
,
for
it
bit
him
by
the
tongue
:
his
breakfast
was
either
a
ca●dle
,
or
a
manchet
sp●ead
with
Almond
butter
.
Being
one
day
with
his
mother
at
dinner
,
she
se●med
to
bee
overjoyed
,
in
that
her
sonne
fell
to
eating
of
beefe
,
which
she
protested
hee
never
did
before
in
his
life
,
and
now
she
verily
beleeved
hee
would
prove
a
souldier
;
indeed
hee
proved
very
valiant
after
,
for
he
kick●
his
mother
,
and
told
her
hee
was
better
descended
then
ever
shee
was
,
so
that
it
seemes
strong
meats
have
strange
effects
.
In
earnest
thi●
young
gentleman
was
the
only
one
whom
I
ever
knew
to
prove
towardly
and
good
,
after
such
a
motherly
education
.
Indeed
as
I
said
hee
was
sometimes
my
scholler
,
and
at
this
day
is
as
understanding
,
civill
,
discreet
,
and
as
thrifty
a
Gentleman
,
as
is
in
the
west
part
of
England
.
Some
agaíne
in
the
Vniversities
maintaine
their
sonnes
at
such
an
height
,
that
there
in
stead
of
studying
the
seven
liberall
Sciences
,
they
study
seven
couple
of
hounds
:
yet
I
must
needs
say
,
they
there
grow
perfect
in
the
Spanish
,
French
,
and
the
Dutch
,
that
is
,
Sacke
,
Claret
,
and
Rhenish
,
while
poore
Schollers
make
their
Exercises
;
and
some
of
these
now
&
then
(
unknowne
to
their
friends
)
clap
up
a
match
with
some
semster
,
chambermaid
,
or
tradesmans
daughter
:
that
newes
is
caried
to
their
fathers
,
how
their
sonnes
have
profi●ed
so
well
in
the
Vniversity
,
that
they
have
gotten
more
in
an
houre
,
than
they
know
what
to
doe
withall
all
their
lives
after
.
He●ce
being
men
,
they
become
unserviceable
both
for
the
Church
and
State
,
and
being
no
Schollers
,
they
hate
learning
in
others
:
whereupon
when
in
learned
company
they
can
say
little
,
they
break
jests
upon
others
;
or
which
is
the
more
generous
and
commendable
,
if
it
be
at
a
Tavern
and
upon
a
spending
occasion
,
they
will
numerando
Symbolum
officium
sarcire
,
as
Erasmus
saith
,
make
amends
by
paying
a
good
part
of
the
reckoning
,
and
being
no
schollers
,
shew
their
loves
to
schollers
.
On
the
other
side
,
there
are
some
Fathers
so
unnaturall
and
harsh
towards
their
children
,
that
they
are
not
onely
carelesse
in
giving
them
any
education
at
all
,
but
no
means
of
maintenance
to
support
their
livelihood
,
turning
them
off
young
to
shift
in
the
wide
world
,
seeke
their
fortunes
among
strangers
,
and
become
servants
to
others
:
or
if
they
stay
at
home
,
use
them
in
that
manner
by
blowes
and
beating
or
ill
&
uncomfortable
words
,
with●rawing
timely
helpe
for
their
preferments
,
that
all
their
lives
after
they
loath
their
fathers
house
,
and
the
very
sight
of
the
place
where
they
were
bred
and
borne
.
I
knew
a
very
rich
and
able
man
in
Norfolke
,
children
no
meanes
at
all
to
live
upon
,
(
they
being
at
mans
estate
,
and
very
civill
and
honest
Gentlemen
)
save
the
wind●falls
of
trees
in
his
woods
,
and
to
make
their
best
by
selling
them
,
but
no
windes
stirring
,
they
were
faine
to
helpe
themselves
by
digging
the
rootes
loose
within
the
earth
,
then
covering
them
againe
with
turfes
,
that
the
least
winde
in
a
manner
would
lay
them
along
:
and
these
shifts
do●
mercilesse
fathers
put
their
children
unto
,
who
though
by
nature
towardly
,
ingenious
,
and
no
way
vitiously
given
,
are
oftentimes
through
poverty
and
want
wrested
from
the
bent
and
that
naturall
and
inbred
honesty
of
minde
,
to
doe
things
base
and
u●beseeming
:
whereupon
Mantua●
wisely
complaineth
of
poverty
,
s●ying
,
O
mala
paupe●tas
vitij
scelerisque
m●nis●ra
.
I
●●ve
knowne
some
,
whom
their
fathers
ha●●ng
s●nt
to
the
Univers●●●es
or
the
Innes
of
court
,
have
le●t
t●eir
houses
and
cour●e
o●

for
want
of
maintenance
,
making
mo●●y

〈…〉
as
they
had
to
〈◊〉
else
where
,
hence
●hey
have
●ot
bee●e
able
to
●●epe
company
with
the
better
sort
,
they
are
undervalued
all
their
lives
after
,
whatsoever
their
good
parts
are
,
they
are
constrained
to
walke
on
foote
,
take
up
their
lodging
in
base
Ale-houses
,
bee
haile
fellow
with
every
Tinker
by
every
fire
side
:
many
times
driven
by
necessity
,
they
borrow
of
their
kindred
,
or
fathers
tenants
,
lie
at
their
houses
:
sometimes
for
debt
or
despaire
they
are
faine
to
leave
the
Land
,
and
seeke
meanes
in
forraigne
countries
,
either
by
turning
Souldiers
or
Seminaries
;
sometimes
not
going
so
farre
they
take
purses
about
home
,
ending
their
miserable
dayes
at
the
gallowes
,
where
they
cry
out
against
their
Parents
(
Fathers
especially
)
hardnesse
,
and
carelesnesse
of
them
,
in
neither
giving
them
maintenance
,
or
settling
them
in
some
course
wherin
they
might
have
lived
and
prooved
honest
men
,
and
good
members
in
the
Common-wealth
.
Neither
must
Parents
have
all
the
share
in
their
Childrens
undoing
,
since
I
know
(
though
many
are
hard
enough
)
they
all
would
have
their
children
to
doe
well
,
and
the
most
are
carefull
enough
to
bring
them
up
in
all
vertuous
education
:
yet
many
times
their
children
are
refractory
,
and
averse
to
all
goodnesse
out
of
an
ill
temperature
of
the
minde
by
nature
,
and
proove
so
notoriously
evill
,
that
nothing
can
reduce
them
to
civility
and
honesty
:
Such
a
one
was
Troilo
Savello
of
late
yeares
in
Rome
,
descended
of
noble
and
honest
Parents
,
being
their
onely
childe
,
and
hope
of
their
house
,
who
by
that
time
he
was
sixteene
yeares
of
age
;
joyning
himselfe
to
the
Banditi
,
or
out-lawd
theevs
and
robbers
,
became
the
arrentest
villaine
one
of
them
that
ever
Italy
bred
,
and
before
those
yeares
his
mother
laid
him
up
in
prison
,
being
glad
to
keepe
him
alive
there
;
but
hee
breaking
out
,
and
falling
to
murthering
,
robbing
,
and
acting
all
manner
of
mischiefe
,
was
afterward
beheaded
.
If
I
mistake
not
,
there
is
the
story
of
his
life
translated
out
of
Italian
into
English
by
Sir
Tobie
Matthew
.
I
have
often
seene
and
read
it
over
in
Dutch
:
but
this
by
the
way
.
Sometimes
among
Children
the
Parents
have
two
hopefull
,
and
the
third
voyd
of
all
grace
:
sometimes
all
good
,
saving
the
eldest
.
I
remember
when
I
was
a
School-boy
in
London
,
Tarlton
acted
a
third
sons
part
,
such
a
one
as
I
now
speake
of
:
His
father
being
a
very
rich
man
,
and
lying
upon
his
death-bed
,
called
his
three
sonnes
about
him
,
who
with
teares
,
and
on
their
knees
craved
his
blessing
,
and
to
the
eldest
sonne
,
said
hee
,
you
are
mine
heire
,
and
my
land
must
descend
upon
you
,
and
I
pray
God
blesse
you
with
it
:
The
eldest
sonne
replyed
,
Father
I
trust
in
God
you
shall
yet
live
to
enjoy
it
your selfe
.
To
the
second
sonne
,
(
said
●e
)
you
are
a
scholler
,
and
what
profession
soever
you
take
upon
you
,
out
of
my
land
I
allow
you
threescore
pounds
a
yeare
towards
your
maintenance
,
and
three
hundred
pounds
to
buy
you
books
,
as
his
brother
,
he
weeping
answer'd
,
I
trust
father
you
shall
live
to
enjoy
your
money
your selfe
,
I
desire
it
not
,
&c.
To
the
third
,
which
was
Tarlton
,
(
who
came
like
a
rogue
in
a
foule
shirt
without
a
a
band
,
and
in
a
blew
coat
with
one
●leeve
,
his
stockings
out
at
the
heeles
,
and
his
head
full
of
straw
and
feathers
)
as
for
you
sirrah
,
quoth
he
)
you
know
how
often
I
have
fetched
you
out
of
Newgate
and
Bridewell
,
you
have
beene
an
ungracious
villaine
,
I
have
nothing
to
bequeath
to
you
but
the
gallowes
and
a
rope
:
Tarlton
weeping
and
sobbing
upon
his
knees
(
as
his
brothers
)
said
,
O
Father
,
I
doe
not
desire
it
,
I
trust
i●
God
you
shall
live
to
enjoy
it
your selfe
.
There
are
many
such
sons
of
honest
and
carefull
parents
in
England
at
this
day
.
I
have
also
knowne
many
children
to
have
prooved
and
become
honest
and
religious
through
the
loathing
of
the
parents
vices
and
lewdnesse
of
behaviour
;
as
if
they
have
been
addicted
to
drunkennesse
,
the
childe
would
never
abide
it
;
or
if
to
swearing
,
their
sonne
was
free
from
that
vice
;
yea
many
times
children
have
prooved
their
parents
best
advisers
,
and
reclaimers
from
their
vices
.
I
never
knew
any
childe
thrive
in
the
world
that
was
rebellious
against
father
or
mother
,
by
cu●sing
them
,
abusing
them
,
scorning
them
,
as
many
doe
that
come
to
p●e●●rment
and
high
place
,
from
a
poore
paren●age
and
a
meane
beginning
,
bu●
the
Iudgemen●
o●
God
hath
fallen
heavy
upo●
them
at
one
time
or
othe●
Solomon
saith
,
valley●
meaning
,
they
shall
be
hanged
,
&
left
fo●
Ravens
,
and
other
foules
to
feede
upon
.
I
have
also
knowne
very
Religious
,
and
honest
parents
withall
,
of
very
great
ability
,
who
have
had
but
onely
one
sonne
in
the
world
,
heire
not
onely
to
their
owne
inheritance
,
but
also
to
brothers
,
&
other
of
the
kin
,
to
whom
they
have
given
allowance
according
to
his
owne
desire
,
as
his
horse
to
ride
on
whither
it
pleased
him
,
money
to
spend
among
gentlemen
,
to
stay
at
home
,
or
goe
whither
and
when
hee
listed
:
yet
all
this
,
and
all
the
care
they
could
take
,
could
not
keepe
him
at
home
,
but
like
a
vagabond
to
wander
up
and
downe
the
country
with
common
Rogues
and
Gipsies
,
till
at
the
last
he
came
to
the
gallowes
:
I
have
knowne
two
of
this
humour
,
being
the
sonnes
o●
v●ry
rich
and
able
men
,
my
loving
friends
.
From
sonnes
I
come
to
daughters
,
of
whom
I
have
knowne
many
proper
young
gentlewomen
,
daughters
to
rich
and
miserable
clownes
,
who
to
save
their
money
for
portions
,
and
servants
wages
,
keepe
them
at
home
unmarried
,
making
drudges
of
them
to
doe
all
manner
of
worke
about
the
house
,
till
growing
stale
maides
,
they
bestow
themselves
on
their
fathers
horse-keepers
,
serving-men
,
many
times
on
tailors
that
come
to
worke
at
their
houses
,
&
so
are
oftentimes
undone
for
ever
.
That
among
these
extreames
,
we
may
come
to
a
mediocrity
.
Let
both
the
Parent
and
the
Childe
listen
to
,
and
remember
the
short
(
but
pithy
)
advice
of
St.
Paul
in
their
reciprocall
duty
:
Children
obey
your
Parents
:
Parents
provoke
not
your
Children
.
I
never
knew
a
race
to
thrive
and
prosper
,
but
where
there
was
a
firme
and
mutuall
love
of
one
toward
the
other
;
in
the
childe
a
true
filiall
,
and
fearefull
to
offend
:
in
the
father
that
●ame
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
or
naturall
affection
,
discending
and
applying
it selfe
without
bitternesse
,
to
the
disposition
of
weake
and
childish
age
.
Likewise
betweene
brother
and
sister
,
and
this
is
preserved
and
cherished
by
a
moderate
and
wise
indulgence
of
the
Parents
,
as
if
ought
bee
amisse
,
by
familiar
admonition
,
teaching
,
gently
reb●king
,
discoursing
with
them
,
as
(
with
strangers
)
of
yeares
and
understanding
,
and
growing
to
men
and
womens
estate
,
to
supply
their
wants
,
keeping
them
neat
,
and
(
with
the
best
of
their
ranke
)
fashionable
in
apparrell
,
which
addeth
spirit
unto
them
,
maketh
them
to
think
wel
of
themselves
,
and
teacheth
them
to
make
good
choyse
of
their
company
&
acquaintance
;
lastly
,
〈◊〉
maketh
them
in
all
places
t●
be
respected
,
and
their
friends
commended
.
It
is
also
fitting
,
that
a
father
,
when
●is
●onne
grow
ˢ
nere
man
,
not
onely
to
supply
his
corporal
necessi●ies
,
but
also
to
allow
him
money
in
his
purse
to
keepe
company
with
his
equals
,
and
sometimes
to
lay
out
upon
a
good
bargaine
,
which
unexpectedly
hee
may
meete
withall
,
hereby
he
will
learne
to
love
and
keepe
his
money
,
lay
it
out
to
the
best
advantage
to
keepe
and
maintaine
his
credit
,
he
shall
be
knowne
,
and
get
reputation
in
the
world
,
hee
will
become
more
obsequious
to
his
Parents
and
friends
;
when
those
pennilesse
(
and
long
of
their
Parents
)
poore
ones
,
are
a
disgrace
to
their
Parents
,
the
object
of
pitty
to
their
friends
,
and
a
scorn
to
every
golden
asse
,
and
their
enemies
,
and
which
is
most
lamentable
,
are
sometimes
driven
to
bee
beholding
to
these
.
There
was
a
miserable
slave
not
long
since
,
that
had
kept
three
or
fourescore
load
of
Hay
two
or
three
years
,
hoping
it
would
bee
still
dearer
,
when
it
was
at
five
pounds
and
ten
shillings
the
load
,
but
presently
it
falling
to
forty
and
thirty
shillings
,
went
into
his
barne
,
takes
a
stoole
to
stand
on
,
and
throwing
a
rope
over
a
beame
,
kicks
downe
the
stoole
,
and
so
hangs
:
his
sonne
being
threshing
on
the
other
side
of
the
wall
,
hearing
the
stoole
fall
,
runs
in
,
and
seeing
his
father
hanging
,
takes
his
knife
,
and
cuts
him
downe
,
rubs
him
,
and
recovers
him
:
his
son
a
weeke
after
comming
for
his
weekes
wages
for
threshing
,
(
for
his
father
allowed
him
nothing
but
what
hee
dearely
earned
)
he
abated
him
two
pence
,
which
the
sonne
told
him
was
wanting
;
his
father
answered
,
the
rope
which
he
cut
cost
him
so
much
,
and
hee
should
pay
for
it
:
the
sonne
departing
heavily
,
told
his
father
,
if
hee
would
forgive
him
that
two
pence
,
hee
should
not
want
a
new
rope
at
any
time
;
withall
,
wished
for
his
owne
sake
hee
might
not
finde
him
at
the
like
businesse
againe
.
It
is
also
worthy
the
observation
,
that
when
God
would
destroy
and
roote
out
a
wicked
family
,
or
generation
from
the
face
of
the
earth
,
he
suffers
enmity
and
discord
to
reigne
and
divide
a
kindred
in
their
affections
one
towards
another
:
The
father
hates
the
childe
,
the
Childe
the
father
:
the
sister
cannot
abide
her
brother
,
the
brother
speakes
ill
of
the
sister
,
purloyning
one
from
the
other
:
they
seldome
or
never
see
or
visite
in
kindly
maner
one
another
:
in
sicknesse
one
will
not
relieve
or
comfort
one
another
;
nay
,
many
times
grudge
a
nights
lodging
in
a
word
,
no
more
regard
of
blood
or
alliance
amongst
them
,
than
among
swine
.
This
I
have
often
observed
,
and
when
of
such
a
family
,
in
few
yeares
not
one
of
the
name
hath
beene
left
.
Of
Clownes
and
rude
behaviour
.
SCaliger
reportethth
,
Of
all
men
in
the
World
he
cannot
endure
Lawyers
,
but
evermore
hee
is
barking
against
them
,
as
dogs
doe
at
Tinkers
;
not
because
they
stoppe
holes
in
their
dames
kettles
,
but
because
they
make
their
budgets
of
their
skinnes
:
If
a
gentleman
or
noble
man
happen
to
ride
(
in
hawking
time
)
over
his
grounds
,
he
bannes
and
curses
him

his

to
the
pit
of
hell
:
for
betweene
your
Clown

is
ever
an
Antipathie

If
I
should
tell
you
how
the
late
Prince
of
Orenge
,
Grave
Maurice
hath
been
answered
amongst
his
Dutch
Boores
,
as
he
passed
through
the
Countrey
,
you
would
say
our
Countrey
of
England
was
a
Schoole
of
Civility
in
regard
of
those
Countries
.
Charles
the
fift
,
that
religious
and
puissant
Emperor
,
when
by
fortune
of
warre
,
hee
was
pursued
and
chased
by
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
and
the
Lantgrave
of
Hesse
,
and
in
a
very
dark
and
rainy
night
having
lo●t
his
way
among
the
Heaths
and
Woods
,
having
onely
two
or
three
in
his
company
,
fortuned
to
come
to
a
Boores
house
,
that
stood
alone
under
a
woods
side
,
&
knocking
desired
entertainment
,
but
to
sit
up
by
the
fire
till
it
were
day
;
the
Boore
looking
out
at
his
window
,
(
as
Boares
thrust
their
heads
of
the
Franke
)
said
,
he
and
his
wife
were
in
bedde
,
and
hee
was
some
Skellum
,
or
rogue
,
that
would
be
out
so
late
,
if
hee
would
,
to
use
his
owne
words
,
Met
s●i●
verkens
slaepen
,
rest
him
with
his
Pigges
in
an
out
house
hee
might
,
in
hee
should
not
come
.
The
Emperor
then
desired
of
him
to
know
what
time
of
night
it
was
;
the
Boore
told
him
all
by
twee
heuren
,
neere
two
of
clocke
in
the
morning
;
the
Emperor
asked
him
how
he
knew
?
the
clown
replyed
,
●ck
he●t
n●
ghepist
,
hee
had
but
newly
made
water
:
these
entertainments
are
common
amongst
them
,
yea
,
were
he
the
greatest
Prince
of
the
Empire
.
I
once
lived
in
a
towne
,
where
scarce
a
gentleman
,
or
any
of
civill
carriage
lived
,
and
having
found
but
ill●requitall
for
good
deserts
,
I
caused
this
to
be
written
over
the
porch
of
their
free-schoole
doore
,
Subi
dura
a
rudibus
:
It
is
Palindrome
,
the
letters
making
the
same
againe
backwards
.
To
know
an
absolute
Clowne
,
observe
these
his
conditions
;
he
had
rather
be
spreading
of
dung
than
goe
to
the
leanest
sermon
in
the
shire
;
he
murmures
at
all
payments
and
levies
,
especially
the
money
to
bee
collected
for
the
maintenance
of
his
Majesties
navy
royall
;
If
hee
fortune
to
bee
Church-warden
of
his
Parish
,
at
every
briefe
gathering
in
the
Church
hee
reserves
a
groat
or
sixe
pence
to
himselfe
;
if
hee
doe
affect
to
follow
the
fashion
in
his
cloathes
,
it
is
long
of
his
wife
,
some
gentlemans
daughter
,
who
was
matched
unto
him
for
his
wealth
;
and
being
fine
,
he
takes
place
above
her
,
&
all
women
at
the
table
:
salute
him
on
the
way
,
he
will
give
you
never
a
word
;
his
hands
are
commonly
unwashed
,
and
his
doublet
unbuttoned
,
but
never
trussed
:
his
ordinary
discourse
is
of
his
last
years
hay
,
which
he
hopes
will
give
fixe
pounds
the
loade
in
Smithfield
,
and
of
the
rate
of
Swine
in
R●mford
market
;
all
his
jests
consist
in
rude
actions
with
the
hand
or
foote
:
his
speech
is
Lincolnshire
about
Wrangle
and
Freestone
:
if
hee
be
westward
,
about
Taunton
,
and
tenne
miles
beyond
,
&
though
the
most
of
them
weare
russet
,
and
have
their
high
shooes
well
nailed
,
yet
they
are
often
too
hard
for
velvet
and
satten
,
in
law
tricks
and
quiddities
,
and
commonly
hold
their
owne
the
longest
,
great
men
that
hold
them
hard
,
and
keepe
them
under
,
have
them
as
they
list
;
yeeld
unto
one
of
them
,
or
stand
to
his
mercy
,
you
shall
finde
no
Tyrant
more
imperious
and
cruell
:
most
true
is
that
old
verse
:
Rustica

Of
Travaile
.
THe
true
taste
of
our
lives
sweetnesse
is
in
travaile
upon
the
way
,
at
home
,
or
abroad
in
other
Countries
;
for
not
onely
it
affordeth
change
of
aire
,
which
is
very
availefull
to
health
,
but
variety
of
objects
and
remarkable
occasions
to
entertaine
our
thoughts
,
beside
choise
of
acquaintance
with
able
and
excellent
men
in
all
faculties
,
and
of
all
nations
,
and
perhaps
some
such
,
as
you
would
ever
after
thinke
your
labour
and
expence
of
money
well
bestowed
,
if
you
had
but
onely
passed
the
sea
for
their
acquaintance
:
such
an
one
I
met
withall
,
travailing
in
a
very
rainy
evening
,
through
a
moody
part
of
Westphalia
,
where
I
had
lost
my
way
,
and
it
grew
neare
night
,
and
in
latine
demanding
of
him
the
way
toward
Oldenburg
,
and
how
I
had
lost
my
way
;
using
the
word
deviavi
hic
,
answered
,
humanum
est
errare
;
to
be
short
,
hee
would
not
suffer
me
to
passe
any
further
,
but
carried
me
home
to
his
owne
house
,
which
was
almost
h●lfe
a
mile
off
,
where
I
never
found
better
entertainment
,
or
had
more
friendlier
respect
in
all
my
life
.
The
first
thing
in
any
good
Towne
where
ever
I
came
,
so
soone
as
I
had
made
choyse
of
mine
Inne
and
lodging
,
was
of
my
acquaintance
,
for
in
all
places
you
sh●ll
meet
with
very
civill
and
courteous
people
,
evermore
of
the
better
sort
,
(
in
Italy
especially
)
who
will
shew
you
all
respect
and
kindnesse
,
but
without
charge
;
you
must
never
put
them
to
any
expence
or
charge
,
no
not
so
much
as
to
come
to
dinner
to
their
houses
,
though
you
bee
solemnly
invited
;
and
on
the
contrary
,
look
that
nobody
be
chargeable
to
you
:
you
shall
have
many
times
(
as
also
here
in
England
)
as
soone
as
you
are
alighted
at
your
Inne
,
or
Harbery
,
fellowes
that
will
insinuate
themselves
into
your
company
and
acquaintance
,
beginning
either
by
commending
your
horse
,
or
demanding
how
farre
you
have
come
that
day
,
or
of
what
Countrey
you
are
,
and
the
like
;
and
after
perhaps
will
offer
their
service
to
shew
you
the
Towne
,
to
bring
you
acquainted
with
some
famous
man
there
living
,
or
carry
you
ad
calidas
,
&
callidas
,
solis
filias
,
(
as
Lipsius
calleth
them
)
to
t●e
handsomest
wenches
about
the
towne
.
Sed
aures
obtura
,
ad
has
Syrenum
cantiunculas
,
rather
bee
alone
purusing
some
good
booke
in
your
chamber
,
or
walke
by
your selfe
.
You
shall
in
travaile
never
lose
ought
by
silence
;
many
have
paide
dearely
for
their
lavish
tongues
in
strange
Countries
,
especially
being
far
from
home
;
and
where
they
must
not
bee
allowed
to
bee
their
owne
interpreters
,
especially
in
matter
of
Religion
&
State
;
when
you
shall
find
it
safer
and
better
to
talke
of
the
great
Turke
,
than
the
Pope
.
Let
your
observations
be
of
such
things
whereby
you
may
profit
your selfe
or
your
Countrey
,
your selfe
by
procuring
&
winning
the
acquaintance
of
the
famous
men
in
Science
or
Art
,
for
the
bettering
of
your
understanding
,
and
skill
in
whatsoever
you
pretend
unto
;
if
you
study
Physicke
,
you
shall
have
in
Paris
,
and
other
places
of
France
,
the
most
learned
and
able
Physitians
of
the
world
:
if
you
would
bee
a
Civilian
,
Bononia
,
and
other
Cities
of
Italy
will
afford
you
the
rarest
men
in
that
way
;
if
you
delight
in
painting
,
and
the
use
of
your
pencill
,
the
Netherlands
;
every
where
will
afford
you
rare
Masters
,
if
in
other
Mechanicall
Arts
,
the
higher
Germany
,
which
Bodine
calleth
hominum
officinam
,
for
the
variety
of
Ar●ists
there
,
and
therein
Spires
,
Shasbourge
,
Norenburge
,
and
many
other
famous
Cities
,
will
furnish
you
with
skilfull
men
aboundantly
.
I
have
observed
,
as
I
have
gone
along
those
Countries
,
many
excellent
poynts
of
good
husbandry
in
fields
&
gardens
,
which
wee
here
in
England
have
not
beene
acquainted
withal
;
as
in
manuring
their
land
so
at
one
time
,
that
it
shall
beare
a
great
croppe
seaven
or
tenne
yeares
together
;
their
artificiall
Ploughes
,
that
shall
turne
up
in
a
day
as
much
as
two
of
ours
;
their
neate
and
handsome
stacking
of
their
corne
abroad
to
stand
dry
all
the
Winter
;
their
many
devices
for
draining
of
grounds
,
casting
of
Moates
,
and
Towne
ditch●s
;
many
excellent
formes
of
grafting
,
adulterating
Plants
&
flowers
,
with
infinite
such
devices
.
Apparrell
abroad
is
much
dearer
than
here
in
England
,
especially
cloth
;
Stuffes
are
cheape
,
and
ordinary
in
the
Netherlands
,
so
are
velvets
and
silkes
about
Naples
,
and
other
parts
of
Italy
,
and
commonly
worn
of
tradsemens
wives
and
daughters
.
Boots
&
shooes
are
very
deare
every
where
,
especially
in
France
;
for
leather
is
there
very
scarce
;
so
that
if
I
had
but
the
Monopolie
of
carrying
old
shoos
(
newly
mended
)
and
Mastiffe
whelps
into
France
,
I
should
think
to
live
as
well
and
as
happily
,
as
Ma●ter
Major
of
Quinborrow
.
For
dyet
I
bought
what
I
liked
,
and
learned
one
thing
,
not
usuall
with
us
in
England
,
(
save
in
Cookes
shoppes
)
that
is
,
to
know
the
price
of
meate
before
you
eate
it
:
If
our
young
gallants
would
observe
this
rule
in
costly
Taver●s
,
(
who
only
call
for
a
bill
at
the
end
of
dinner
)
they
would
have
money
many
times
when
they
want
it
;
but
they
esteeme
it
a
disgrace
better
befitting
Carriers
and
Aquivitae
men
,
than
gentlemen
of
ranke
:
hence
it
commeth
to
passe
they
pay
eight
shillings
for
a
Capon
,
as
my
L.
of
N.
gentleman
did
once
at
Greenwich
,
another
a
marke
or
foureteen
shillings
for
a
paire
of
soales
,
I
having
often
bought
as
good
at
Ben●ington
in
Holand
for
three-pence
.
And
as
I
would
not
have
you
to
bee
familiar
with
every
one
;
so
it
is
good
,
so
to
retire
your selfe
,
as
you
scorned
to
eate
or
drinke
in
any
other
company
;
for
note
,
you
cannot
take
up
your
chamber
,
and
call
for
your
meat
thither
,
but
commonly
an
ordinary
is
kept
,
where
all
the
guests
sit
downe
together
,
of
what
countrey
or
condition
it
makes
no
matter
,
if
they
be
merry
,
you
must
be
so
to
,
or
at
least
faine
your selfe
to
bee
;
if
they
drinke
to
you
,
you
must
pledge
them
,
(
for
their
draughts
are
but
sippings
,
not
carousing
whole
pints
and
quarts
,
as
among
our
tosse-pots
in
England
)
so
shall
you
be
belov'd
and
made
welcome
amongst
them
,
otherwise
they
will
suspect
you
to
bee
a
spy
from
the
enemy
,
or
to
scorne
their
company
,
whereby
you
come
into
danger
of
being
quarrelled
withall
,
suddenly
stabd
among
the
Dutch
with
a
knife
,
in
Italy
to
be
poysoned
,
&c.
Travaile
(
like
Physicke
upon
several
complexions
)
workes
diversly
,
with
a
staid
and
mature
judgement
it
doth
best
,
such
returne
much
bettered
by
it
:
those
who
are
sent
young
and
childish
(
whom
foolish
fathers
and
mothers
would
have
thought
to
be
rare
&
ripe
witted
,
become
the
worse
by
it
,
for
wanting
judgement
to
understand
the
true
use
of
travaile
,
to
know
with
whom
to
converse
,
and
what
to
observe
,
but
onely
to
follow
and
to
weare
a
love-locke
on
the
left
shoulder
,
returne
home
as
wise
as
the
Asse
,
who
undertaking
to
travaile
into
farre
Countries
,
and
to
acquaint
himselfe
with
strange
beasts
abroad
,
at
the
last
returning
home
,
he
asked
the
Foxe
how
he
liked
him
since
he
undertook
his
journey
?
the
Foxe
replyed
,
&
told
him
plainly
,
hee
saw
no
difference
in
him
,
but
that
his
Maine
and
his
Taile
were
growne
longer
:
if
they
chance
to
goe
into
the
Netherlands
,
and
perhaps
get
to
bee
gentleman
of
a
company
but
of
three
weekes
standing
;
then
at
their
return
among
their
companions
,
they
must
bee
stiled
by
the
name
of
Captaine
,
they
must
stand
upon
that
ayre
title
,
and
meere
nothing
,
called
Reputation
,
undertake
every
quarrell
and
challenge
,
or
become
seconds
to
those
that
will
:
It
is
a
great
want
of
discretion
,
beside
very
dangerous
,
to
tell
or
shew
your
money
openly
in
strange
places
where
you
are
unknowne
,
or
to
travaile
upon
the
way
extraordinary
rich
in
you
cloaths
;
hereby
many
have
beene
betrayed
and
lost
their
lives
,
as
a
gentleman
,
and
an
acquaintance
of
mine
,
Master
W.T.
was
pistold
by
his
guide
in
the
forrest
of
Ardenna
,
because
riding
in
a
suit
laide
thicke
with
gold
lace
,
hee
was
supposed
to
have
had
store
of
crowns
.
Erasmus
I
remember
in
his
Epistles
,
tells
us
how
narrowly
hee
scaped
his
throa●e
cutting
one
night
in
an
Inne
,
where
hee
drew
store
of
money
out
of
his
velvet
pouch
,
(
which
commonly●
hee
wore
at
his
girdle
)
that
he
was
faine
to
rise
in
his
shirt
,
with
another
that
lay
in
the
same
chamber
,
to
barricado
the
doore
with
a
forme
and
some
stooles
,
to
keepe
his
host
out
,
who
was
an
arrant
thiefe
.
Be
as
thrifty
as
possible
you
can
,
as
well
in
your
apparrell
as
dyet
;
for
you
shal
many
times
be
●ard
beset
for
money
,
and
if
you
can
otherwise
avoyd
it
,
goe
seldome
upon
credit
,
which
is
not
gentleman-like
abroad
,
but
much
more
base
in
England
,
where
for
the
most
part
,
hosts
and
hostesses
are
farre
more
unconscionable
than
they
are
there
:
for
spend
five
pounds
at
a
sitting
,
you
shall
not
be
misreckoned
a
peny
,
and
they
expect
as
just
dealing
from
you
;
here
you
shall
bee
shomefully
wronged
,
except
you
very
narrowly
looke
to
your
layings
out
,
besides
meete
with
ill
penny-worths
,
paying
(
as
good
many
times
)
as
forty
in
the
hundred
for
the
use
of
your
credit
.
I
could
wish
every
yong
gentleman
before
hee
travailes
into
forraigne
parts
,
non
esse
Domi
peregrini
,
because
here
are
many
rarities
in
England
,
and
our
coast
townes
are
worthy
the
view
and
the
knowing
,
if
it
were
but
onely
to
satisfie
strangers
,
who
are
many
times
inquisitive
of
the
state
of
England
;
yea
,
and
many
times
know
it
better
than
most
of
our
home-borne
gentlemen
:
herein
Sir
Robert
Carre
of
Sleford
in
Lincoln-shire
,
a
noble
gentleman
,
and
my
worthy
friend
was
much
to
be
commended
.
A
religious
honest
man
.
I
Never
knew
any
man
of
sound
judgement
,
and
fit
for
employment
,
either
in
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
but
he
endeavoured
to
bee
religious
:
for
Virtutem
vel
optimarum
actionum
Basis
Religio
;
and
there
are
many
,
who
though
they
make
no
outward
shew
thereof
,
by
those
actions
and
gestures
which
may
also
bee
common
to
Hypocrites
,
yet
the
bias
of
the
life
of
an
honest
man
would
ever
leane
(
for
doing
and
discourse
)
to
a
serious
service
of
God
;
hence
such
men
keepe
their
Church
together
,
with
their
families
constantly
,
there
carrying
himselfe
with
the
greatest
reverence
and
humility
.
You
shall
know
a
religious
honest
man
by
humility
,
charity
,
or
love
of
hospitality
;
hence
he
is
discreet
in
his
discourse
,
affable
,
pleasant
,
and
peaceable
,
among
his
neighbours
loving
,
and
beloved
.
He
back-biteth
and
traduceth
none
,
meddleth
not
with
matters
and
affaires
of
s●ate
;
well
knowing
(
like
those
builders
of
the
towre
of
BABEL
)
that
a
rash
affection
of
things
too
high
,
bringeth
discord
and
conf●sion
;
and
if
any
controversie
shall
arise
among
his
neighbours
,
hee
commonly
hath
compounded
the
strife
●re
the
Layer
can
finger
his
●ee
.
His
tythes
hee
payeth
chearefully
,
and
with
the
most
;
well
knowing
that
God
by
Ma●achy
hath
promised
a
blessing
by
the
opening
of
the
windowes
of
Heaven
upon
such
as
pay
their
tythes
truely
,
and
with
alacrity
.
Hee
is
versed
and
very
ready
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
&
their
O●●hodox●ll
exposition
,
never
wresting
,
or
misapplying
them
(
as
Sectaries
do
)
to
serve
their
purposes
,
&
suite
with
their
fantasticall
,
or
wilfull
opinions
.
As
Mahomet
,
and
his
followers
,
affirmed
that
place
of
St.
Iohn
,
I
will
send
you
a
comforter
,
to
bee
meant
of
himselfe
;
or
in
that
place
something
to
bee
written
of
Mahomet
,
which
the
Christians
have
scraped
or
blotted
out
.
So
not
long
since
a
false
Prophet
affirmed
that
himsel●e
was
one
of
those
two
witnesses
St.
Iohn
spea●●●h
of
,
in
the
11
of
the
●●●elatio●
.
The
like
examples
may
bee
produced
from
David
George
,
Knipperdoling
,
Hacket
,
and
others
,
which
we
passe
.
Againe
,
the
moderate
religious
man
forbeares
with
open
mouth
to
raile
against
the
Pope
,
but
speakes
of
him
in
a
modest
reverence
,
as
of
a
great
Bishop
,
and
a
temporall
Prince
.
Hee
is
also
to
his
power
a
benefactor
to
poore
schollers
,
and
though
not
learned
himselfe
,
hee
is
a
prompter
of
learning
.
So
was
Wickham
Bishop
of
Winc●ester
,
who
being
no
great
Scholler
himselfe
,
said
,
to
make
amends
,
he
would
make
schollers
,
and
soo●e
after
hee
founded
Winchester
schoole
,
and
New
Colledge
in
Oxford
.
He
loveth
unity
,
&
prayseth
it
as
well
in
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
as
his
ow●e
parish
and
family
;
hence
is
he
oppo●ite
ex
dia●etr●
,
to
seperati●ts
,
and
schismaticks
,
who
,
since
they
fall
in
my
way
,
let
me
tell
you
what
out
of
my
owne
experience
I
have
knowne
,
&
found
by
them
,
having
remained
a
good
time
at
Leiden
in
Holland
,
and
other
places
where
they
have
their
congregations
and
convintecles
:
There
are
about
thirty
two
severall
sects
,
among
some
whereof
are
called
Hui●copers
,
other
huis●
ver
coopers
,
1.
house
buyers
,
and
house
sellers
,
and
such
enmity
there
is
among
them
,
that
the
pride
of
their
heads
,
or
ring-leaders
,
will
never
an
unity
one
with
another
.
Now
why
our
sectaries
should
single
out
themselvs
aftes
this
manner
,
I
confesse
I
know
not
,
perhaps
,
not
without
the
divine
providence
,
and
for
that
very
same
reason
,

giveth
of
beasts
and
birds
of
prey
,
whom
God
(
as
pernicious
and
hurtfull
to
man-kinde
)
hath
set
at
ods
and
at
enmity
one
with
the
other●
for
if
they
should
accompany
together
in
heardes
and
flockes
,
they
would
over-runne
and
devour
a
whole
countrey
:
as
among
beasts
:
Lyons
,
Beares
,
Wolves
,
Foxes
,
Badgers
,
Polcats
,
&c.
And
among
birds
,
Eagles
,
Hawkes
;
Kites●
Ravens
,
Vultures
,
Buzzards
,
&c.
When
Nature
for
the
behoofe
of
man
,
hath
set
others
which
are
most
profi●able
unto
him
at
unity
among
themselves
,
and
to
live
peacefully
one
with
the
other
:
As
Kine
,
Horses
,
Deere
,
Sheepe
,
Goates
,
Conies
,
&c.
Of
Birds
,
Pigeons
,
Geese
,
Ducks
,
Partridges
,
the
most
of
the
daintiest
of
Sea
birds
,
with
sundry
others
.
I
have
heard
some
of
their
Sermons
,
and
beene
present
at
their
private
ordinary
discourse
,
&
somwhat
alway
seasoned
the
same
,
that
savoured
either
of
Pride
or
Malice
,
or
both
;
especially
against
our
Church
,
and
the
happy
&
well
settled
estate
of
the
●●me
.
Wee
must
make
a
difference
betweene
our
stricter
people
in
England
,
whom
your
prophaner
sort
call
Preci●ians
,
and
these
who
are
super-intendants
over
a
few
button-makers
and
weavers
at
Amstelr●dam
,
for
of
ours
we
have
many
conformable
to
his
Majesties
lawes
,
and
the
Ceremonies
of
the
Church
,
carrying
themselves
very
honestly
and
conscionably
,
among
which
I
rec●on
not
the
professed
Puritan
,
of
whom
I
know
many
,
who
gladly
take
that
name
and
profession
upon
them
,
being
tradse-men
in
Cities
&
market
townes
,
onely
to
get
custome
to
their
shops
,
and
working
th●mselves
into
the
opinion
of
the
world
to
bee
hone●t
,
Religious
,
and
upright
dealing
men
;
they
procure
to
themselves
many
salutation
;
(
like
the
Pharises
)
in
the
market
place
,
and
hence
they
become
the
prime
men
at
feasts
and
mee●ings
,
and
are
trusted
with
the
estates
and
education
of
mens
children
at
the
death
of
the
Parents
,
out
of
the
opinion
of
their
zeale
and
honesty
,
whereby
they
become
marvellous
rich
,
and
by
consequent
so
proud
,
that
(
as
St.
Augustine
saith
of
the
Donatists
)
ne
nostri
●uiquam
dicant
Ave
,
they
will
not
bid
a
conformist
good
morrow
,
or
good
even
,
and
sitting
in
their
furre
or
velvet
fac'd
gownes
,
with
their
neat
set
double
ruffes
,
they
tax●
(
with
Augustus
)
all
the
world
.
But
some
of
these
men
have
not
many
yeares
since
reformed●
themselves
.
There
is
yet
another
sort
amongst
us
worse
than
these
;
who
like
double
faced
Ianus
,
one
way
look
to
their
owne
Parish●
Church
,
and
the
other
eastw●rd
towards
St.
Peters
in
Rome
;
these
indeed
are
filii
hu●us
seculi
,
and
here
onely
have
thei●
reward
;
making
Religion
onely
as
a
cloake
,
or
w●●t
coat
to
bee
worne
both
sides
alike
:
Some
professe
themselves
Roman
Catholicks
,
that
their
families
might
keep
Lent
,
all
the
Saints
Eves
,
Ember
,
and
all
other
fasting-dayes
,
whereby
their
Masters
save
in
their
victuals
their
whole
yeares
wages
:
another
while
they
are
Protestants
,
and
will
monthly
visit
the
Church
,
to
avoyd
the
penalty
of
the
Law
,
or
to
insinuate
themselves
into
some
gainfull
emploiment
or
other
in
the
Common-wealth
;
these
be
those
luke-warm
Laodicaeans
whom
God
cannot
digest
,
Of
Discretion
.
THe
old
Lord
Burleigh
,
sometime
Treasurer
of
England
,
comming
to
Cambridg●
with
Queene
Elizabeth
,
when
he
was
led
into
the
publicke
schooles
,
and
had
much
commended
their
convenience
,
beauty
,
and
greatnesse
,
they
had
sometime
received
from
their
founder
,
Humphrey
the
good
Duke
of
Glocester
;
yea
marry
,
said
hee
,
but
I
finde
one
schoole
wanting
in
our
Vniversities
,
and
that
is
the
schoole
of
Discretion●
in
what
sence
he
meant
it
I
know
not
,
bu●
most
true
it
is
,
that
though
Dis●retio●
bee
no●e
of
the
liberall
Sciences
,
it
is
an
Art
that
gives
all
other
their
value
and
estimation
,
and
without
which
(
as
a
Ship
without
an
helme
,
an
Horse
without
a
bridle
,
or
a
blind
man
without
a
guide
.
)
Men
doe
they
know
nor
what
,
goe
they
know
not
whither
,
and
instead
of
steering
a
right
course
run
upon
the
rocks
of
their
irrecoverable
ruine
.
Di●cretion
is
so
called
of
Discerno●
which
properly
is
to
sever
or
part
one
thing
from
another
,
as
to
divide
or
sift
the
flower
from
the
branne
,
silver
from
the
leade
,
a
quintescence
from
Elementary
parts
.
So
that
Metaphorically
it
is
applyed
to
our
judgements
in
severing
or
dividing
vertue
from
vice
,
that
which
is
honest
,
from
that
which
is
profitable
,
the
necessary
from
the
superfluous
,
a
friend
from
a
foe
&c.
and
indeede
it
is
the
highest
pitch
of
understanding
and
judgement
,
which
the
most
men
seeme
to
have
,
but
fall
shorr
off
,
yea
in
their
weightest
actions
:
in
which
our
actions
of
it
claimeth
so
great
an
interest
,
that
without
discretion
the
whole
course
of
our
lives
is
nothing
else
but
folly
,
or
rashnesse
,
as
I
found
well
exprest
in
this
Distich
which
I
found
engraven
upon
the
hest
of
a
Learned
Ladies
knife
in
Brabant
:
Omnia
si
repetas
humanae
tempora
vitae
,
Vel
malè
,
vel
temerè
,
vel
ni●il
egit
homo
.
Whence
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
so
many
men
undo
themselves
and
their
posterity
for
ever
,
by
selling
and
making
away
such
faire
estates
left
them
by
their
friends
,
but
lacke
of
Discretion
,
their
judgements
being
so
corrupted
,
that
they
thinke
they
shall
never
want
,
their
children
will
otherwise
be
provided
for
;
while
they
weare
the
best
cloathes
they
shall
be
respected
,
beloved
of
Ladies
,
saluted
by
Citizens
,
congied
by
Courtiers
,
and
the
like
:
now
the
salt
of
Discretion
should
first
have
seasoned
his
braines
in
this
or
the
like
way
;
while
walking
in
his
garden
in
the
Countrey
,
or
under
a
solitary
wood
side
,
he
should
have
thought
with
himself
,
God
hath
blessed
me
with
with
a
fai●e
estate
:
and
as
Henry
the
fourth
said
to
his
sonne
the
Prince
;
Getting
is
a
chance
,
but
keeping
is
a
wit
:
and
what
a
difference
of
happinesse
is
there
in
enjoying
and
comming
freely
to
an
estate
left
by
friends
,
than
in
attaining
to
the
same
by
continuall
labour
of
my
body
?
hazzarding
my
health
in
sitting
up
late
,
rising
early
,
to
endure
heate
,
hunger
,
cold
,
and
the
like
extremities
;
then
to
bee
onely
master
of
the
same
a
very
few
yeares
;
yea
sometime
dayes
;
that
most
truely
Martiall
as
a
principal
happines
accounted
,
Res
relicta
,
non
parta
labore
.
An
estate
left
,
and
not
by
labour
gaind
.
Now
if
I
part
with
this
,
let
mee
beleeve
,
and
assuredly
say
with
the
Phylosopher
,
A
privatione
in
habitum
nulla
est
regressio
,
I
may
another
day
come
by
and
view
,
saying
with
a
sigh
of
mee
and
mine
,
Fuimus
Troes
,
This
was
ours
once
;
how
have
I
wronged
you
my
poore
Children
?
who
will
feede
and
entertaine
you
,
but
you
are
like
to
wander
up
and
downe
,
and
seeke
untimely
death
in
the
errors
of
your
lives
;
and
for
my selfe
,
who
will
relieve
me
when
all
is
gone
?
I
would
bee
loath
to
depend
upon
any
,
being
of
a
generous
and
free
spirit
,
and
debere
quibus
nolis
miserrimum
.
&
these
times
are
grown
so
cunning
,
&
flinty
hard
,
that
necessitous
men
can
hardly
borrow
five
shillings
o
ᶠ
their
best
friends
and
acquaintance
.
And
how
many
great
heires
have
I
knowne
to
have
begged
&
dyed
in
Ale-houses
and
barnes
,
surfeiting
of
that
aboundance
which
hath
beene
lefe
them
?
These
&
the
like
notions
mature
Discretion
should
have
suggested
,
and
beene
mistresse
of
the
Key
,
before
the
house
had
beene
parted
withall
.
Out
of
the
heate
of
thy
youth
,
unknowne
to
thy
parents
or
friends
,
thou
matchest
thy selfe
to
some
snout-faire
young
thing
●ot
worth
a
gr●at
,
whereby
thou
art
sure
ever
after
to
be
dis-esteemed
and
undervalued
,
Discretion
(
hadst
thou
been
acquainted
with
her
)
would
have
told
thee
,
nil
temerè
,
doe
nothing
rashly
,
and
how
marriage
(
with
ones
calling
and
profession
)
is
the
greatest
action
he
shall
undertake
in
his
whole
life
,
and
like
a
stratagem
in
warre
,
in
which
hee
can
erre
but
once
;
and
how
beautifull
soever
she
bee
,
the
Dutch
women
can
tell
you
,
Market●
moreover
,
in
stead
of
honourable
(
many
times
)
or
worshipfull
Kinred
and
alliance
,
you
shall
have
on
her
side
a
needy
kindred
,
alwayes
relying
upon
you
by
begging
or
borrowing
;
lastly
,
after
the
spring-time
of
her
beauty
,
and
your
amorous
desire
is
over
,
you
begin
to
loath
her
more
than
ever
you
lov'd
her
;
hence
proceedes
your
perpetuall
discontent
,
home
bred
quarrels
,
scoffes
&
jeering
from
the
neighbours
,
a
weary
life
to
servants
;
and
to
conclude
,
a
parting
or
divorcement
between
your selves
,
which
Discretion
(
had
you
beene
a
scholler
in
her
schoole
)
would
have
easily
taught
you
to
have
prevented
.
Let
these
two
examples
,
in
stead
of
many
other
,
shew
the
inestimable
value
of
Discret●on
in
all
our
actions
:
I
will
now
come
to
speake
of
Discretion
wee
ought
to
have
in
speech
and
discourse
.
An
ill
tongue
in
the
holy
Scripture
is
compared
to
a
two
edged
sword
,
bitter
words
to
arrowes
,
slanderous
and
malicious
to
the
poyson
of
Aspes
;
and
it
is
the
instrument
many
times
of
life
and
death
,
as
well
to
the
soule
as
the
body
;
wherefore
the
old
AEgyptians
dedicated
their
Persean
tree
,
whose
leaves
are
like
tongues
,
and
the
fruite
or
apples
like
hearts
unto
Isis
,
meaning
hereby
the
tongue
and
heart
agreeing
together
should
be
consecrated
to
God
onely
,
and
his
honour
,
and
not
in
profaning
or
blaspheming
his
sanctified
name
,
(
usuall
even
in
these
dayes
among
children
in
the
streetes
)
or
slandering
and
lyingly
traducing
others
behinde
their
backes
;
wherefore
we
shew
our
Discretion
in
nothing
more
than
in
our
speech
and
discourse
:
and
hence
came
the
word
,
Loquere
ut
te
videam
,
for
a
naturall
foole
so
long
as
he
is
silent
,
for
ought
we
know
may
be
the
wisest
man
in
the
company
;
and
a
great
wit
by
too
much
babling
,
and
suffering
his
tongue
to
runne
at
randome
,
oftentimes
prooves
a
more
foole
than
hee
,
speaking
their
pleasure
of
Princes
,
Statesmen
,
and
Bishops
,
raising
them
higher
or
lower
,
as
Dutch-men
do
their
coine
,
to
their
owne
advantage
;
hence
they
crave
pardon
(
being
questioned
)
of
their
eares
that
heard
them●
and
stand
in
awe
even
of
strangers
&
waiters
upon
them
:
Homer
at●ibutes
it
as
a
prime
vertue
in
Vlysses
,
that
his
words
were
few
,
but
to
the
purpose
.
I
confesse
the
Table
,
as
with
good
dishes
,
so
should
bee
●urnished
with
good
discourse●
for
mirth
at
feasts
and
banquets
hath
ever
been
commended
,
and
I
deny
not
,
but
where
men
of
severall
dispositions
meete
,
something
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
may
slip
beyond
the
bounds
of
Discretion
,
and
these
impertinencies
,
and
quicquid
inter
pocula
liberius
dictum
fueret
in
mappa
projiciatur
cum
micis
,
as
Erasmus
holdeth
:
sitting
without
more
adoe
,
having
learned
as
much
of
Horace
.
—
Ne
fidos
inter
amic●s
,
Sit
qui
dicta
foràs
eliminet
.
And
Plutarch
in
Symposiasis
saith
,
it
was
a
custome
among
the
Lacedemonians
,
that
when
they
invited
any
kinse-man
or
friend
unto
their
houses
,
they
with
a
finger
would
poynt
to
the
doore
or
porch
and
say
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
No
words
must
come
from
hence
,
which
was
the
law
of
Ly●urgus
;
hence
proceedeth
it
that
in
many
places
,
as
well
in
England
,
as
the
Low
Countries
,
they
have
over
their
Tables
a
rose
painted
,
and
what
is
spoken
under
the
Rose
,
must
not
be
revealed
;
the
reason
is
this
;
The
Rose
being
sacred
to
Venus
,
whose
amorous
and
stolen
sports
that
they
might
never
bee
revealed
,
her
sonne
Cupid
would
needes
dedicate
to
Harpocrates
the
god
of
Silence●
hence
these
(
not
in
elegan
)
verses
.
Est
Rosa
flos
veneris
,
cuius
quo
surta
laterent
,
Harpocrati
matris
Dona
dicavit
amor
.
●nde
rosam
mensis
,
hospes
suspendet
amicis
,
Convivae
●t
sub
〈◊〉
dictatacenda
sciant
.
And
for
the
same
reason
●erusa
&
Oblivo
were
dedicated
to
B●cchus
,
meaning
what
had
beene
done
or
spoken
freely
among
merry
cups
,
should
either
have
been
quite
forgotten
,
or
very
slightly
punished
.
Of
common
ignorance
.
THe
world
hath
taken
so
much
upon
trust
from
credulous
and
superstitious
antiquity
,
that
now
adaies
it
will
hardly
beleeve
common
experience
:
whereof
I
will
produce
some
neither
unpleasant
,
nor
unprofitable
examples
.
There
are
many
that
beleeve
and
affirme
,
that
the
Manna
which
is
sold
in
the
shoppes
of
our
Apothecaries
,
to
be
of
the
same
which
fell
from
heaven
,
&
wherewith
the
Israelites
were
fedde
forty
yeares
in
the
wildernesse
,
which
cannot
so
be
by
these
reasons
.
-
1.
That
Manna
in
the
wildernesse
was
miraculous
;
this
of
ours
naturall
,
falling
from
the
heaven
in
●aire
,
cleare
,
and
hot
daies
at
certaine
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
in
Calabria
,
and
upon
mount
Libanus
.
-
2.
That
Manna
in
the
Wildernes●e
was
kept
but
onely
one
day
,
excepting
the
Eve
of
the
Sabboth
,
when
it
remained
uncorrupt
for
two
daies
together
;
ours
in
shops
will
abide
a
yeare
&
more
sweet
and
good
.
-
3.
That
was
a
meat
,
ours
a
medicine
to
loosen
the
body
,
withall
most
excellent
to
purge
choler
,
and
ours
so
unfit
to
use
for
food
,
that
if
we
eate
much
,
and
continually
of
it
,
our
bowels
will
melt
within
us
,
and
wee
dye
forthwith
.
Now
from
that
affinity
&
likenesse
it
hath
from
the
other
:
in
some
things
it
borroweth
the
same
name
;
that
is
,
the
whitenesse
,
the
taste
of
an
honey-like
sweetnesse
,
and
the
place
whence
it
commeth

that
is

It
is
called
in
Hebrew
Man
,
derived
either
from
Mana
to
prepare
,
because
it
〈◊〉
prepared
by
God
himselfe

or
else
because
when
the
Israelites
saw

first
fal

one
said

Man

What
is
this

Manna
Thuris
,
or
the
Manna
of
Frankinsence
,
as
Pliny
sheweth
,
is
like
neither
of
these
;
but
onely
the
smaller
and
finer
cornes
of
Frankinsence
falling
out
in
the
shaking
and
tossing
two
and
fro
.
If
there
bee
any
(
as
there
be
many
)
that
cannot
away
with
an
ordinary
purgation
,
their
stomacks
taking
offence
thereat
,
let
them
take
but
two
ounces
and
a
halfe
of
Manna
,
and
it
will
purge
choler

easily
and
gently
,
and
without
any
offence
at
all
.
The
like
error
hath
antiquity
been
possessed
with
,
concerning
the
Beare
,
who
is
said
to
bring
forth
,
instead
of
a
proportioned
whelpe
,
a
lumpe
of
flesh
without
forme
,
which
by
often
licking
shee
bringeth
to
its
right
shape
:
which
Ovid
verily
beleeved
,
when
he
saith
,
Nec
catulns
part●
quem
reddit
ursa
,
recenti
Sed
malè
viva
caro
est
:
lambendo
mater
in
artus
.
Fingit
&
in
formam
,
quantam
capit
ipsa
reducit
.
It
is
most
false
,
for
I
have
seene
a
Beare
whelpe
newly
littered
,
in
all
respects
like
unto
the
dam
,
in
head
back
,
sides
,
feete
,
&c.
like
unto
other
young
creatures
,
it
is
true
the
Beare
licks
it
;
so
doth
the
Cow
her
calfe
,
the
Mare
her
foale
,
and
other
creatures
in
like
manner
;
but
that
by
licking
shee
gives
it
forme
and
shape
it
is
most
untrue
.
Scaliger
affirmeth
as
,
much
,
saying
in
our
Alpes
(
meaning
those
about
Piemount
)
the
hunters
caught
a
●he
Beare
bigge
with
yong
,
who
beeing
cut
up
,
they
found
a
whelpe
within
her
of
perfect
forme
and
shape
,
&c.
The
Diamond
(
saith
Pliny
)
never
agreeth
with
the
Loadstone
,
l.

c.

but
are
so
farre
at
enmity
,
each
with
either
,
that
the
Diamond
will
not
suffer
the
Load●tone
to
draw
any
Iron
unto
it
,
and
happily
if
it
doe
,
it
will
plucke
and
withdraw
the
same
away
unto
it selfe
,
which
is
most
untrue
,
as
Garz●as
ab
Horto
,
and
many
other
great
Physitians
&
learned
men
have
proved
.
And
as
true
it
is
,
that
the
Diamond
can
be
broken
by
no
meanes
,
but
by
the
blood
of
a
goate
onely
,
I
know
not
whether
or
no
there
be
severall
kindes
of
Diamonds
,
but
I
am
sure
,
I
have
seene
in
the
City
of
Antwarp
the
powder
of
a
Diamond
,
and
the
afore-named
Garzias
affirmeth
,
with
an
Iron
hammer
it
may
be
easily
done
,
and
himselfe
hath
seene
it
beaten
into
a
fine
powder
.
It
is
moreover
as
commonly
beleeved
as
reported
,
that
the
Swanne
before
her
death
singeth
sweetly
her
owne
funerall
song
,
which
not
onely
Poets
and
Painters
ever
since
the
time
of
AEschylas
,
but
even
the
chiefe
among
Phylosophers
themselves
have
beleeved
and
published
,
as
Plato
,
Aristotle
,
Chrysippus
,
Philostratus
,
Cicero
,
and
Seneca
:
yet
this
hath
proved
a
meere
fable
,
so
confessed
by
Pliny
Athe●aus
,
and
others
,
and
confirmed
by
daily
experience
:

The
vulgar
ignorance
and
simplicity
is
in
these
daies
notably
wrought
upon
by
cunning
Sectaries
,
pretending
under
a
severe
kinde
of
carriage
and
shew
of
religion
,
the
cure
of
their
soules
,
and
by
medicinall
impostures
for
the
cure
of
their
bodies
;
of
the
former
I
have
spoken
of
,
the
later
I
will
now
say
something
.
For
the
first
,
true
it
is
,
they
suffer
themselves
to
be
bitten
of
Serpents
,
especially
Vipers
,
but
cleared
&
rid
of
their
poison
for
they
take
their
Vipers
in
Winter
,
when
they
lye
halfe
dead
and
benumbed
with
cold
,
and
with
a
fine
or
small
paire
of
tongues
take
away
certaine
little
bladders
about
their
teeth
,
wherein
their
poyson
lyeth
,
which
beeing
gone
,
their
bi●ing
is
never
deadly
after
:
others
keep
their
Vipers
lean
and
halfe
hunger-starved
,
&
then
throw
amongst
them
some
hard
dryed
flesh
,
which
when
they
fall
upon
,
their
teeth
sticke
so
fast
in
the
same
,
that
at
once
they
power
out
all
their
poyson
,
and
become
harmelesse
ever
after
;
and
of
these
they
suffer
themselves
to
be
bitten
,
to
the
great
admiration
of
the
standers
by
;
but
if
you
happen
to
get
a
Viper
fresh
out
of
the
field
,
and
offer
that
to
him
to
shew
his
skill
,
he
will
rather
bee
hanged
than
venture
upon
it
;
hereby
their
notorious
cheating
is
discovered
.
The
other
will
have
nothing
to
doe
with
Serpents
,
but
onely
swalloweth
downe
poyson
(
or
seemeth
so
to
doe
)
to
utter
his
trade
,
or
antidote
to
the
people
at
as
deare
a
rate
as
he
can
.
These
when
they
take
poyson
,
take
before
hand
,
in
Summer
time
,
Let●uce
,
well
steeped
and
soaked
in
oyle
,
but
in
winter
the
tripes
,
or
fattest
entrails
of
beasts
;
for
by
these
meates
they
retund
and
abate
the
strength
of
the
poyson
;
the
coldnesse
of
the
Lettuce
,
and
fatnesse
of
the
oyle
an
entrailes
onely
availing
hereunto●
neither
is
this
all
,
but
returning
to
their
lodging
they
drinke
good
●tore
of
thicke
milk
,
and
cast
it
up
againe
;
and
if
all
cannot
bee
brought
upward
,
the
milke
digested
,
conveighes
it
the
other
way
.
But
they
having
bin
many
times
deceived
by
Arsenicke
,
which
having
tarried
so
long
with
some
,
till
it
eate
out
their
guts
,
they
have
found
out
a
new
tricke
,
which
is
,
when
they
are
upon
their
stage
,
they
send
a
boy
forthwith
to
the
Apothicaries
for
Arsenicke
or
Mercurie
,
beeing
brought
hee
shewes
it
to
the
multitude
about
him
,
with
the
Apothicaries
te●timony
that
is
right
and
good
:
all
the
people
see
it
,
what
then
?
he
presently
conveighes
into
the
cover
of
a
boxe
lidde
turned
upward
,
upon
which
sticks
Sugar
,
made
into
the
forme
and
colour
of
Arsenicke
,
which
Sugar
he
takes
out
,
&
puts
into
water
or
wine
,
drinks
it
off
,
fals
downe
,
and
keepes
his
breath
,
that
you
would
certainly
say
he
were
quite
dead
,
but
hee
remembers
his
Triacle
,
takes
it
,
and
is
raised
to
life
,
then
he
commends
his
Antidote
and
Triacle
to
the
skies
.
the
people
fetch
it
from
him
as
fast
as
he
can
utter
it
,
but
if
any
afterward
happen
to
use
his
triacle
when
they
are
poysoned
indeed
,
it
never
does
good
,
but
they
dye
without
all
question
.
I
have
spoken
the
more
at
large
of
these
kinde
of
people
that
our
Magistrates
in
Cities
and
townes
may
have
a
care
of
seeing
themselves
and
the
people
abused
by
such
runnagates
,
and
artificiall
picke-pockets
,
but
wee
are
not
much
troubled
with
them
here
in
England
.
Of
quietnesse
and
health
.
WE
doe
finde
by
daily
experience
,
that
the
Age
of
man
very
much
declineth
,
and
that
men
now
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
not
halfe
so
strong
&
vigorous
as
they
were
in
the
memory
of
our
fathers
,
as
we
may
easily
perceive
by
those
arrowes
of
a
yard
or
an
ell
long
,
which
hang
by
the
wals
in
many
places
of
the
North
and
west
part
of
England
,
which
the
owners
grandfather
or
great
grandfather
left
behinde
him
for
a
monument
of
his
loyall
affection
to
one
of
the
Roses
,
under
whose
conduct
he
served
an
Archer
;
the
shooting-Bu●s
in
Countrey
Townes
have
lost
much
of
their
length
since
the
beginning
of
Q.
Elizabeths
reigne
.
Who
can
wield
that
launce
which
Charles
Brandon
D.
of
Suffolke
tilted
withall
,
yet
to
be
seene
in
the
Tower
?
neither
can
so
heavy
armes
be
borne
,
as
were
not
many
years
;
our
Pikes
and
Muskets
are
made
farre
lesse
,
because
our
lesser
bodies
finde
them
rather
for
burthen
than
use
:
Now
if
wee
looke
into
the
cause
and
true
reason
hereof
,
wee
shall
finde
first
the
world
declining
,
and
like
a
mother
in
her
age
,
to
bring
forth
but
weake
and
short-lived
children
;
neither
is
this
all
,
but
we
living
in
the
last
age
of
the
world
,
wherein
all
iniquity
and
vice
doth
abound
,
men
shorten
their
lives
by
over-eating
and
drinking
,
ease
and
want
of
exercise
,
luxury
and
incontinence
,
Temperance
and
Continencie
being
the
maine
and
onely
supporters
of
our
health
,
as
in
comparable
Fer●elius
affirmeth
:
there
are
two
things
more
(
as
these
to
our
health
)
which
conduce
to
our
happinesse
in
this
world
,
which
are
,
Liberty
and
tranquillity
or
quiet
of
minde
;
these
I
confesse
fall
not
to
every
mans
share
,
most
men
living
being
involved
in
so
many
affaires
:
variety
of
cares
and
bu●inesse
which
attend
us
in
this
our
earthly
pilgrimage
,
that
this
quiet
of
minde
is
as
rare
as
Homers
Nepe●the
;
many
men
not
out
of
necessity
,
but
of
selfe-wilfulnesse
,
vexing
and
disquieting
themselves
without
cause
or
reason
.
As
how
many
rich
,
and
men
of
great
estates
bee
there
in
this
Kingdome
,
of
whose
care
of
getting
&
purchasing
there
is
no
end
;
they
never
in
all
their
lives
(
like
the
Asse
that
carried
Venison
,
Pheasants
,
Capons
,
bottles
of
Wine
,
and
other
dainties
upon
his
backe
)
tasting
the
sweetnes
of
what
they
had
about
them
,
but
fedde
upon
the
Thornes
and
Thistles
of
Vexation
,
griefe
,
and
needlesse
carefulnesse
,
to
enrich
some
unthrifty
sonne
or
kinse-man
;
or
scrape
up
thousands
for
some
dainty
thing
troubled
with
the
green
sicknesse
,
who
within
a
year
or
two
is
stolen
and
marryed
by
a
Tailor
or
Ho●teler
.
Others
againe
are
by
nature
cholericke
,
fretfull
,
quarrelsome
,
and
evermore
enemies
to
their
owne
rest
,
delighting
to
be
meddlers
and
brokers
in
other
mens
businesse
,
as
Eeles
in
troubled
waters
and
mudde
.
Some
out
of
curiosity
,
or
the
search
of
some
deepe
,
and
uncuoth
invention
,
as
firing
shippes
under
water
,
making
traps
for
the
monstrous
Beare
of
Nova
,
Zemla
&c.
or
secret
in
Nature
,
as
●etting
the
Load-stone
and
●et
at
enmity
about
Iron
and
strawes
:
Others
draw
misery
and
vexation
as
with
cords
unto
them
,
through
weaknesse
of
judgment
,
when
they
marry
disadvan●agiou●ly
to
themselves
either
for
estate
,
o●
their
owne
dispositions
,
I
meane
,
when
themselves
being
gentle
,
and
addicted
to
peac●
,
m●tch
with
errant
scolds
;
honest
of
life
,
meete
with
whoores
,
and
the
like
.
So
since
we
cannot
make
our selves
Master
of
this
so
sweete
a
benefit
Tranq●illity
of
minde
,
let
us
(
which
is
in
our
own
power
)
looke
unto
o●r
health
,
whereof
the
most
men
are
carelesse
and
negligent
.
To
the
conservation
whereof
,
let
us
first
consider
the
quality
of
the
aire
in
that
place
where
we
live
,
which
is
not
only
an
Element
,
but
an
Aliment
;
for
by
it
,
if
it
be
pure
and
good
,
our
spirits
are
clarified
and
quickned
,
our
blood
rarified
,
and
our
hearts
re●omforted
;
for
the
whole
body
fareth
the
better
for
the
goodnes
of
a
pure
&
sweet
aire
:
so
that
we
find
by
experience
,
that
men
are
more
sprightly
,
lively
,
and
merry
in
an
upland
perfumed
,
and
fanned
with
the
flower-sented
aire
of
Countrey
,
and
of
better
complexions
,
than
in
close
lanes
and
noysome
allies
about
the
City
,
where
the
aire
in
such
places
is
not
good
,
but
raw
and
cold
:
you
may
better
it
(
especial●y
in
infectious
&
dangerous
times
)
by
burning
of
severall
sorts
of
sweete
Wood
,
as
Cipres
,
Iuniper
,
Bay
,
Rosemarie
,
Pine
,
the
Turpentine
,
and
Rosin-tree
:
if
it
bee
too
hot
,
open
your
windowes
,
and
place
your
bedde
toward
the
North
,
strewing
the
flowre
with
rushes
,
water-Lillies
,
Nenuphar
,
Lettuce
,
Endive
,
Sorrell
,
and
ever
and
anon
spri●kle
cold
water
with
a
little
vinegar
of
Roses●
If
any
in
Rome
were
troubled
with
Vlcers
of
the
the
Lungs
,
or
fell
into
consump●ions
,
Galen
would
pr●sen●ly
send
them
to
mount
Tabian
,
a
most
sweet
Aire
neare
unto
Naples
,
where
,
through
the
drynes
of
●he
place
,
and
drinking
the
milke
of
goates
&
kine
,
which
f●d
upon
many
medicinable
hearbes
(
and
proper
to
those
diseases
growing
in
that
place
)
they
recovered
in
a
short
time
:
having
perhaps
learned
out
of
Hippocrites
,
that
i●
long
&
languishing
diseases
,
there
is
nothing
better
then
Aire
,
and
place
of
our
dwelling
.
The
next
thing
for
our
health
we
must
have
especiall
care
of
our
eating
and
drinking
:
our
meat●
wherewith
our
bodies
are
nourished
,
proceedeth
either
from
living
creatures
,
or
vegetables
,
that
is
plants
:
&
of
these
there
must
bee
a
choyse
had
,
that
of
Plants
nourisheth
farre
lesse
than
the
flesh
of
living
creatures
,
excepting
that
grain
whereof
wee
make
our
bread
,
as
Wheat
,
Rie
,
Barly
,
Oates
,
&c.
Wheat
being
the
chie●e
:
fruits
nourish
very
little
;
of
fruits
,
Cheries
and
Grapes
are
the
best
.
Melon
,
Cowcumbers
,
and
Citrulls
are
good
for
cholericke
stomackes
,
they
breed
grosse
blood
,
are
very
cold
,
and
hard
of
digestion
:
Platina
tels
us
in
the
life
of
Pope
Paul
the
second
,
how
the
said
Pope
two
hou●es
before
night
was
taken
suddenly
with
an
Apoplexie
,
being
a
little
be●ore
very
well
,
and
complaining
of
no
disease
or
paine
,
which
came
through
eating
of
2
whole
Muskmellons
.
An.
1471.
And
how
many
in
these
our
times
kill
themselves
with
overmuch
drinking
,
the
cause
of
many
long
and
deadly
diseases
;
as
Apoplexies
,
Dropsies
,
Palsies
,
the
Gout
,
&
many
other
;
and
I
know
not
whether
any
of
the
colder
Northern
Nation
herein
excell
us
,
drunkennesse
now
a
dayes
being
growne
into
that
request
,
that
it
is
almost
esteemed
a
vertue
,
at
least
a
gentleman
like
quality
to
carouse
,
sit
up
whole
dayes
&
nights
at
it
.

Keeping
neither
Method
nor
measure
in
their
eating
and
drinking
,
which
the
ancient
Grecians
,
and
other
nations
were
so
precise
in
it
:
England
formerly
having
beene
acc●●nted
the
most
●ober
and
temperate
nation
in
the
world
:
neither
were
we
ever
noted
for
this
vice
,
till
(
as
Mr.
Camden●aith
●aith
)
wee
had
to
do
with
the
Netherlands
in
their
warres
.
Also
being
from
all
antiquity
our
English
drinke
:
Britanni
(
saith
Pliny
)
habent
potus
genus
quod
Alicam
vocant
:
which
do●btlesse
was
our
Ale
,
Beere
,
and
●ase
viols
,
came
into
England
in
one
yeare
,
in
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
seaventh
.
But
tha●
I
may
conclude
concerning
those
things
wheron
ours
doth
principall●y
depend
,
which
are
,
the
Aire●
,
eating
,
drinking●
sleepe
&
waking
,
mooving
,
and
exercise
,
rest
,
evacuation
of
excrements
,
venerall
recreation
,
and
passions
of
the
minde
;
that
wee
may
live
to
serve
God
,
to
doe
our
King
and
Country
service
,
to
bee
a
comfort
to
our
friends
,
and
helpfull
to
our
Children
,
and
others
that
depend
upon
us
,
let
us
follow
Sobriety
and
Temperance
,
and
have
(
as
Tully
saith
)
a
diligent
care
of
our
health
,
which
we
shall
bee
sure
to
doe
,
if
we
will
observe
and
keepe
that
one
short
(
but
true
)
rule
of
Hippocritas
,
All
things
moderately
,
and
in
measure
.
