Roome
for
a
Gentleman
,
Or
the
Second
Part
of
FAVLTES
.
IT
hath
beene
holden
for
a
great
blessing
of
God
,
when
the
sworde
and
all
other
weapons
of
warre
,
are
turned
into
Plough-yrons
;
but
we
doe
not
consider
that
war
is
the
minister
of
Gods
iustice
,
either
for
contempt
of
himself
,
neglect
of
his
Religion
,
or
for
the
wicked
life
of
worldlings
;
it
is
the
surfers
of
peace
,
that
hatcheth
vppe
war
,
and
it
is
the
finnes
of
the
people
,
that
draweth
the
Soldiers
Sword
,
for
warres
are
but
as
a
Corrector
to
the
disorders
of
peace
,
it
is
as
fire
to
the
mettell
that
wants
refining
,
as
a
phisition
to
a
body
ouergrowne
with
grosse
and
corrupt
humors
,
it
is
the
scourge
of
Security
,
the
plague
of
Timeritie
,
a
miserable
necessity
in
nature
,
and
a
necessary
Corrector
of
times
infirmity
.
Warre
,
stirs
vp
the
bloud
,
it
cals
courage
to
the
field
,
and
it
is
the
Theatre
where
on
Nobilitie
was
borne
to
shew
himselfe
.
Peace
breedes
Cowards
,
it
effeminates
our
mindes
,
it
pampers
our
wanton
wils
,
and
it
runs
headlong
into
all
sorts
of
sinne
.
Warres
,
vpholds
our
right
,
Peace
will
put
vp
wrong
,
and
what
we
honourably
winne
in
war
,
wee
cowardly
loose
againe
▪
in
peace
.
Peace
,
filles
the
world
with
pompe
,
war
abates
the
edge
of
pride
,
Peace
feedes
Folly
fat
,
makes
vertue
lean
,
and
it
armeth
CapeaPee
,
all
manner
of
inormity
;
warre
spends
the
pelfe
that
Peace
hath
miserably
scraped
for
.
And
what
should
I
say
,
warre
like
a
storme
that
comes
ratling
in
the
skie
,
doth
clense
and
purge
the
aire
infected
with
the
misty
fogs
of
peace
:
war
hath
had
his
beginning
with
the
world
,
and
it
will
neuer
haue
end
so
long
as
there
is
a
world
.
Valiancy
hath
an
eye
to
warre
,
and
warre
hath
the
like
againe
to
peace
,
and
warre
should
not
be
vndertaken
but
to
the
end
to
haue
peace
;
and
as
peace
is
the
parent
of
prosperity
,
so
it
is
the
nurse
of
pride
,
and
draweth
after
it
the
very
corruption
of
manners
.
In
the
time
of
peace
,
a
fauorite
shall
ruffell
it
out
with
the
wealth
of
a
realme
,
whilst
Souldiours
in
the
time
of
warre
are
ready
to
mutiny
for
want
of
pay
.
In
warre
,
those
are
onely
dignified
that
are
found
to
be
valiant
,
or
otherwise
approued
to
be
of
worthy
reputation
,
peace
preferreth
Carpet
Knights
,
and
such
as
will
scratch
at
dignity
without
desert
.
The
Souldiour
,
who
in
the
time
of
warre
sauoreth
of
sweat
,
(
the
true
testimony
of
exercise
and
labour
)
in
the
time
of
Peace
,
is
all
to
bee
spiced
with
perfumes
(
the
witnes
of
effeminate
and
womanish
nicite
.
)
As
long
as
Carthage
waged
warre
against
Rome
,
so
long
were
the
Romaines
in
dayly
exercise
of
Armes
,
vigilant
and
watchful
,
fearing
that
which
after
followed
▪
but
Carthage
being
once
razed
and
brought
to
destruction
,
the
youth
of
Rome
being
at
liberty
▪
and
freed
from
all
feare
and
care
of
Warre
,
set
loose
the
bridle
of
pleasure
,
and
hauing
no
stranger
against
whome
to
exercise
Armes
,
they
conuerted
their
weapons
against
their
owne
bowels
,
arrearing
ciuill
warres
and
seditions
amongst
themselues
,
which
brought
the
Romaines
liberty
to
ruine
:
for
which
cause
S.
Augustine
in
his
booke
De
Ciuitate
Dei
sayeth
,
More
hurtfull
was
the
City
of
Carthage
after
her
destruction
,
then
during
the
whole
course
and
season
of
the
warres
,
which
the
Romaines
had
with
her
,
for
whilst
they
had
enemies
in
Affricke
,
they
knew
not
what
vices
ment
in
Rome
.
Adrianus
in
the
time
of
a
generall
peace
,
would
yet
vndertake
seuerall
iornies
,
sometimes
into
France
,
somtimes
into
Germany
,
otherwhiles
into
Asia
,
but
still
causing
his
men
of
warre
to
march
with
him
,
lest
being
idle
,
they
might
likewise
grow
effeminate
.
I
might
heape
together
a
great
deale
of
matter
,
if
I
should
speake
of
those
miseries
that
do
attend
&
waite
vpon
warre
;
but
if
I
should
enter
into
a
particular
description
,
how
many
vices
are
hatched
vp
in
the
time
of
peace
,
I
might
quickly
spie
out
matter
wherewith
to
beginne
,
but
neuer
find
time
when
to
make
an
end
;
we
haue
such
dayly
innouations
,
aswell
of
Follies
,
as
of
Fassions
,
that
our
auncestors
(
I
perceiue
)
were
but
bunglers
at
vice
,
they
had
not
the
wit
to
grace
a
sinne
,
nor
to
set
it
forth
to
the
show
,
their
conceites
were
but
dull
and
blunt
,
they
had
not
the
frisking
wittes
of
this
our
age
:
but
I
will
not
intangle
my selfe
in
that
Laborinth
,
to
speake
of
those
follies
that
are
already
past
,
I
am
come
to
a
fragment
of
the
time
present
,
t●
a
forward
Sprigge
,
that
is
already
sprouted
and
sprong
from
this
little
prety
moment
of
our
calme
and
quiet
peace
.
The
warres
that
were
wont
to
stirre
vp
mens
minds
to
striue
who
should
march
in
the
formost
rank
against
the
Enemy
,
who
should
giue
the
first
charge
,
and
who
should
make
the
first
approch
to
enter
the
breach
,
this
litle
time
of
peace
hath
conuerted
to
a
base
alteration
:
for
now
all
our
strife
and
contention
is
,
who
shall
sit
aboue
the
salte
,
who
shall
goe
next
the
wall
,
who
shall
stand
formost
in
the
Herauldes
bookes
,
and
who
shall
goe
before
,
and
who
shall
come
behind
.
We
call
it
a
happy
peace
,
&
we
blesse
the
time
withall
,
when
our
Armes
are
set
apart
,
when
our
Ensignes
are
fyrled
vp
,
and
when
our
Drummes
and
warlike
instruments
do
serue
to
fetch
home
May
,
or
are
hanged
by
the
wals
:
but
the
warres
of
Westminster
Hall
,
are
then
in
their
greatest
fury
,
and
the
incounters
there
maintained
and
continued
,
not
against
an
open
foe
to
our
country
,
not
against
a
Traytor
to
the
Prince
,
or
against
a
rebell
,
or
a
spoiler
of
the
common
wealth
;
but
the
neighbour
against
the
neighbour
,
the
friend
against
the
friend
,
the
brother
against
the
brother
,
&
somtimes
the
father
against
the
sonne
.
These
warres
are
vnnaturall
wars
,
and
these
wars
wil
neuer
bee
dissolued
,
but
are
like
to
grow
euery
day
more
violent
then
other
;
and
I
wonder
all
this
while
we
haue
had
no
hote
Alarmes
about
this
precedence
,
and
taking
of
places
;
for
it
is
growne
to
a
general
controuersie
,
not
onely
amongst
the
inferior
forte
of
those
that
would
faine
be
reputed
to
be
Gentlemen
,
but
likewise
amongst
the
better
sort
of
those
that
be
knowne
to
be
Gentlemen
by
birth
and
others
that
by
their
places
and
professions
are
gentelized
,
and
worthy
to
bee
so
esteemed
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
declared
.
I
will
not
meddle
with
those
of
the
decayed
order
of
Knighthood
,
amongst
whom
there
hath
likewise
fallen
out
some
contentions
,
the
vnworthy
somtimes
comparing
with
those
that
bee
worthy
;
for
I
doe
make
a
difference
in
reputation
between
Knight
and
Knight
,
and
I
hope
hereafter
to
shew
a
reason
why
.
But
to
come
to
those
intruders
that
do
extort
to
themselues
places
and
dignities
that
belong
to
others
,
who
neither
by
birth
,
nor
by
discent
can
challenge
the
place
or
title
of
a
Gentleman
,
vnles
(
perhaps
)
countenanced
by
some
petty
office
,
or
otherwise
haue
raked
together
some
yearely
reuenue
,
more
then
all
their
ancestors
were
euer
able
to
leaue
to
their
heires
▪
and
not
attained
vnto
by
vertuous
industry
,
but
gotten
sometimes
by
deceiuing
the
Prince
,
otherwhiles
by
preiudicing
the
common
wealth
,
&
most
times
,
by
exacting
&
oppressing
as
many
as
they
had
to
deale
withal
,
but
vnder
these
pretences
,
they
would
vsurpe
to
themselus
a
kind
of
preheminence
,
to
throng
&
thrust
before
those
that
are
their
betters
both
by
birth
and
qualitie
:
and
this
malipert
sawcines
maketh
them
to
be
the
more
hateful
to
as
many
as
know
from
whence
they
are
descended
.
It
is
not
the
giuing
or
taking
of
places
,
that
either
giueth
or
taketh
away
vertue
,
nor
euery
man
that
is
inuested
with
an
office
,
is
not
therefore
by
and
by
had
in
the
better
reputation
,
but
if
they
be
so
desirous
of
estimation
,
they
must
indeuor
by
their
own
labor
&
industry
,
to
heape
to
themselus
so
precious
treasure
,
when
curtesie
&
affability
are
known
to
bee
the
instruments
,
whereby
the
hearts
of
the
people
are
won
.
And
as
this
thrusting
and
striuing
for
places
,
is
a
common
sicknes
amongst
men
,
so
the
infection
is
farre
more
violent
amongst
women
,
and
hath
preuailed
so
farre
,
as
(
I
thinke
)
it
be
past
cure
,
for
not
one
amongst
them
,
being
willing
to
giue
place
,
but
euery
one
endeuouring
and
striuing
to
take
place
,
they
are
ready
to
scratch
for
it
,
and
to
take
their
roomes
perforce
,
&
will
not
let
to
render
reasons
to
maintaine
their
right
;
one
makes
her
plea
,
my
husband
is
a
Squire
,
and
I
will
giue
place
to
none
but
to
my
Lady
;
an
other
will
say
,
my
husband
is
a
Doctor
,
and
why
should
not
I
go
with
the
formost
:
one
stands
vpon
her
owne
petigree
,
and
deriues
her selfe
from
some
ancient
stocke
or
family
,
another
vauntes
of
her
husbands
office
,
another
of
his
wealth
,
another
of
her
chains
,
iewels
&
silken
gowns
,
and
of
so
many
other
vanities
besides
,
that
if
their
husbands
should
fal
to
dealing
in
those
quarrels
set
abroch
by
their
wiues
,
they
would
neuer
be
determined
without
bloody
noses
.
But
what
women
be
those
that
doe
most
generallie
stand
vpon
those
termes
,
or
that
will
soonest
presse
to
be
thus
forward
,
but
those
that
be
of
the
basest
birth
,
or
haue
beene
otherwise
noted
and
detected
of
infamy
?
I
doe
not
meddle
with
Ladies
all
this
while
,
for
although
these
vpstart
women
be
ful
of
iniury
,
yet
Ladies
that
are
descended
of
gentle
parentage
,
are
full
of
curtesie
,
they
are
not
vengible
the
one
against
the
other
,
they
are
not
proud
,
they
are
not
slanderous
,
they
are
no
tatlers
,
to
carpe
at
those
thinges
that
belongs
not
vnto
them
;
now
Ladies
in
these
daies
(
a
great
many
of
them
)
are
none
of
these
great
vaunters
,
to
brag
of
their
worshipfull
parents
,
of
their
fathers
,
of
their
grandfathers
:
they
would
be
much
ashamed
in
any
proud
humour
,
to
go
search
the
Herauldes
bookes
for
their
auncestors
Armes
,
or
to
seeke
out
from
what
stocke
or
lineage
they
are
descended
.
But
what
do
these
men
or
women
gaine
,
that
doe
stand
so
much
of
their
tiptoes
?
that
do
take
the
matter
so
highly
vpon
them
,
and
are
so
ready
to
perch
before
their
betters
?
they
doe
but
be
▪
pisse
their
owne
credits
?
they
raise
vp
dust
to
hurt
their
owne
eyes
,
for
it
makes
others
to
harken
after
them
,
what
they
were
by
birth
,
how
they
haue
beene
brought
vp
,
what
their
conuersation
hath
been
in
times
past
:
and
there
will
be
inquisition
made
,
not
onely
of
themselues
,
but
of
their
parents
,
first
what
they
were
,
from
whence
they
came
,
&
how
they
haue
liued
,
for
wise
men
takes
no
knowledge
of
our
riches
,
but
of
our
vertues
,
not
of
our
offices
,
but
of
our
honesties
,
not
of
our
dignities
,
but
of
our
deserts
;
not
of
our
proud
and
lofty
lookes
,
but
of
our
kinde
and
curteous
behauiours
,
but
howsoeuer
it
bee
befitting
vnto
men
,
O
what
an
ornament
it
is
to
a
woman
to
be
of
a
mild
and
modest
disposition
?
And
yet
I
cannot
commend
this
counterfeit
sobrietie
in
her
that
will
sit
and
simper
,
and
spend
a
whole
diner-time
,
in
speaches
,
strained
and
deliuered
like
oracles
,
that
will
bee
drawing
out
of
a
welcome
,
whilst
a
man
would
haue
eaten
his
dinner
:
no
,
I
rather
commend
her
that
hath
a
little
verball
quicknes
,
a
nimble
spirited
wench
that
can
laugh
when
she
list
,
weepe
when
she
list
,
chide
when
she
list
,
that
can
be
sick
when
she
list
,
and
well
againe
when
it
please
her selfe
,
that
when
she
is
vp
and
ready
in
a
morning
,
her
day-worke
is
done
,
that
is
fit
for
all
companies
,
that
hath
a
sweete
touch
with
her
tongue
,
a
quicke
loose
with
her
lippes
and
t'
is
no
matter
though
she
do
sometimes
lie
;
for
if
shee
be
married
,
a
lie
well
told
may
sometimes
please
her
husband
.
O
what
a
pretious
sight
it
were
to
see
a
woman
that
were
but
young
in
yeares
to
bee
sober
and
modest
,
glory
and
admiration
attends
her
in
all
her
actions
?
&
it
were
good
in
her
that
were
olde
likewise
,
because
in
an
old
woman
,
the
contrary
were
abhominable
,
b
ut
where
should
wee
finde
such
a
woman
ready
made
,
vnlesse
we
should
bespeake
her
of
purpose
,
and
then
we
should
pay
more
for
the
fashion
,
then
the
whole
frame
would
be
worth
.
If
a
man
should
but
straine
his
penne
a
litle
to
write
in
the
generall
praise
of
women
,
and
should
paint
them
forth
with
so
many
perfections
as
nature
doth
not
vsually
bestow
in
these
our
dayes
,
as
many
women
as
did
but
vnderstand
of
this
description
would
wonder
and
be
inquisitiue
what
women
they
should
be
that
were
so
magnified
,
and
if
they
did
not
reward
the
writer
with
a
mocke
,
his
best
recompence
should
bee
,
to
be
thought
a
meere
dissembler
:
but
hee
that
shoulde
but
blaze
the
abuse
of
any
one
particular
woman
,
and
should
write
in
an
obscure
manner
,
not
naming
what
one
it
were
that
he
had
thus
displayed
,
euery
woman
that
did
but
heare
it
,
would
take
it
to
her selfe
,
and
shee
would
not
be
perswaded
,
but
that
it
was
so
ment
.
The
pretious
iewels
that
were
wont
to
garnish
those
women
,
that
were
most
honourably
esteemed
of
,
were
the
excellent
ornaments
of
modesty
,
of
sobrietie
,
of
bashfulnes
,
of
silence
,
of
chastitie
,
and
such
other
,
but
now
those
are
best
esteemed
,
that
are
most
impudent
,
that
are
most
audacious
,
that
are
most
shameles
,
that
are
most
vnciuill
;
and
what
shall
I
say
,
that
are
many
wayes
more
masculine
then
men
.
It
is
strange
again
to
see
some
women
that
do
stand
vpon
their
wisedome
,
that
do
stand
vpon
their
honor
,
that
do
stand
vpon
their
honesty
;
and
yet
will
seem
to
vphold
and
maintain
those
women
that
are
immodest
in
their
manners
,
lasciuious
in
their
life
,
filthy
in
their
communication
,
odious
and
hatefull
in
all
their
demeanours
,
that
haue
beene
noted
of
incontinencie
,
and
well
knowne
to
be
infamous
:
and
yet
those
women
,
that
a
man
would
thinke
they
were
made
all
of
vertue
,
(
&
without
doubt
,
some
of
them
no
lesse
good
then
they
seeme
)
they
will
notwithstanding
hold
them
company
,
take
them
vp
into
their
Coaches
:
nay
,
they
will
imitate
them
,
sometimes
in
their
garish
and
light
attire
,
that
are
many
times
more
Curtisan-like
,
then
eyther
modest
or
comely
:
sometimes
againe
in
their
impudent
boldnes
of
behauiour
,
that
were
more
fitting
for
my
Lady
Greene-sleeues
,
then
decent
for
those
women
,
that
are
of
any
good
sort
or
reputation
.
Amongst
the
Romains
,
it
was
accounted
a
great
reproch
and
infamy
,
for
a
woman
to
bee
praysed
by
any
man
,
eyther
for
her
beauty
,
or
for
her
feature
,
or
for
any
quality
that
was
not
corespondent
to
vertue
▪
but
Thucidides
accounteth
those
women
to
bee
most
honest
,
that
were
least
spoken
of
eyther
in
prayse
or
disprayse
.
Saint
Augustine
speaking
of
the
light
behauiour
of
women
,
doth
rather
allow
of
that
maiden
,
wife
or
widow
,
that
will
exercise
her
accustomed
labour
,
(
though
it
be
on
the
Saboth
day
)
then
he
doth
of
that
woman
that
is
a
dancer
,
that
must
surrend●r
herself
to
be
felt
and
handled
by
those
men
,
that
are
not
onelie
vnchast
in
their
imbracements
,
but
many
times
vngodly
in
their
appetites
,
and
filthy
in
their
desires
.
I
might
take
occasion
here
to
speake
of
Fashions
,
it
was
wont
to
be
a
disease
amongst
Horse
,
but
now
it
is
become
a
generall
sicknes
amongst
men
and
women
;
and
yet
I
thinke
Fashions
be
good
for
somewhat
,
for
of
my
conscience
it
driueth
a
great
number
to
Church
,
that
goeth
more
to
shew
their
own
pride
,
and
to
learn
the
new
Fashions
that
are
broughtin
by
others
,
then
to
mend
their
owne
manners
,
or
to
leuell
their
liues
as
they
are
taught
by
the
Preacher
.
Diogenes
laughed
them
to
scorne
,
that
by
intercession
sought
helpe
from
the
Gods
,
and
yet
continued
in
a
dissolute
and
in
a
lasciuious
manner
of
life
:
and
me
thinkes
it
stands
with
reason
,
that
graue
showes
and
light
attires
can
neuer
hang
well
together
.
When
the
Cretans
were
vnnaturally
intreated
by
the
Romaines
,
they
did
not
pray
vnto
the
Gods
to
plague
them
with
pestilence
,
with
warre
,
with
famine
,
and
such
like
,
but
that
they
would
send
amongst
them
new
Fashions
,
new
inuentions
,
&
new fangled
follies
,
which
they
knew
to
be
a
greater
plague
and
punishment
,
then
any
other
that
might
befall
them
:
And
Anacharsis
was
put
to
death
for
seeking
to
plant
strange
fashions
which
he
had
learned
in
his
trauell
.
For
those
women
that
be
good
&
godly
(
as
I
know
there
bee
a
great
many
)
they
will
neuer
bee
displeased
though
I
blaze
the
abuses
of
the
ill
;
for
those
other
that
be
bad
,
if
they
be
angry
I
care
not
,
and
for
her
that
hath
a
guilty
conscience
,
if
she
find
her selfe
to
be
toucht
,
let
her
beginne
to
chide
first
in
Gods
name
.
It
is
written
that
Crates
vsed
to
scold
with
common
women
,
which
he
knew
to
be
of
mischieuous
and
vengible
tongue
▪
which
he
did
of
purpose
,
whereby
to
inure
himself
to
beare
all
reproches
with
the
more
patience
:
And
Diogenes
,
to
much
like
purpose
,
walking
through
Athens
,
and
finding
the
statues
and
Images
of
many
wo
thy
men
which
had
beene
erected
for
their
well
deseruing
in
the
common
wealth
,
went
vnto
them
al
,
one
after
another
,
begging
gifts
and
asking
of
almes
:
and
being
demanded
what
he
ment
to
begge
of
dumb
Images
,
he
answered
,
I
learne
hereby
to
take
deniall
patiently
.
Now
if
there
be
a
woman
that
is
sicke
of
the
spleen
,
and
a
little
to
ease
her
stomacke
,
will
needs
pronounce
her selfe
guilty
before
she
bee
accusde
,
I
am
furnished
(
you
see
)
with
presidents
inough
to
teach
me
to
bee
patient
,
&
to
beare
all
reproaches
that
may
be
imputed
against
me
,
by
the
most
bitterest
and
spitefullest
tongs
.
A
woman
of
vertuous
life
is
neuer
offended
at
any
report
that
is
ay●ed
of
her
;
for
if
it
be
true
(
shee
being
vertuous
)
it
must
be
to
her
prayse
,
if
false
,
her
life
and
manners
will
proue
the
reporter
to
be
but
a
lyer
,
&
her
owne
innocency
is
inough
to
protect
her
against
any
deprauer
.
But
I
am
out
of
the
text
that
I
ment
to
take
in
hand
;
and
here
a
man
may
see
what
it
is
to
hit
into
good
company
,
I
am
gotten
amongst
a
company
of
women
,
a●d
now
I
am
loth
to
depart
;
but
I
must
take
my
leaue
of
them
for
a
time
,
and
follow
my
vndertaken
Subiect
.
I
remember
,
I
was
about
to
speake
of
a
many
of
wranglers
that
were
striuing
for
places
,
and
disputing
for
dignities
,
but
fearing
I
might
bee
accused
of
sacriledge
to
steale
out
of
the
Gospell
,
I
might
remember
here
where
it
is
written
;
When
thou
art
bidden
to
a
Feast
,
sit
thee
downe
in
the
lowest
roome
,
that
when
the
goodman
of
the
house
commeth
in
,
he
may
say
,
Friend
,
sit
vp
higher
,
and
so
it
shall
be
for
thine
honour
,
&c.
It
is
a
great
vertue
in
a
man
,
to
be
an
vpright
Iudge
of
himselfe
,
for
as
it
is
the
first
Chapter
of
Fooles
,
for
a
man
to
thinke
himselfe
to
be
wise
;
so
it
is
a
signe
of
as
little
wit
,
to
thinke
better
of
our selues
then
there
is
cause
.
Bucephalus
,
Alexanders
horse
,
in
an
ordinary
saddle
,
would
easily
admit
any
man
to
ride
him
,
but
being
appointed
in
his
royall
furniture
,
would
suffer
none
but
Alexander
to
mount
him
:
so
there
be
some
that
in
a
meane
estate
(
such
as
their
fathers
held
before
them
)
haue
beene
known
to
be
lowly
&
tractable
enough
,
but
being
after
crept
into
an
office
,
or
a
little
aduanced
,
whereby
they
might
proule
for
pence
,
they
know
not
how
to
behaue
themselues
,
but
doe
thinke
that
pride
,
disdaine
,
&
currish
demeanour
,
are
the
only
complements
belonging
to
Gentility
.
And
this
is
it
that
armeth
them
with
this
sawcines
(
I
mean
)
to
take
place
of
their
betters
whereby
they
become
iniurious
,
and
in
time
might
grow
to
a
matter
of
quarrell
,
when
amongst
persons
of
reputation
,
honour
is
preferred
before
life
;
&
euery
iniurious
action
not
repulsed
,
is
holden
by
the
opinion
of
all
magnificent
minds
to
be
dishonourable
,
infamous
and
reprochfull
.
It
should
not
be
amisse
therfore
,
but
rather
behouefull
,
that
we
might
be
informed
what
iniury
is
,
wherby
we
may
with
the
more
facility
,
both
moderate
our
selues
,
and
learne
to
represse
it
.
I
doe
not
goe
about
to
incite
men
to
vnaduised
or
needles
quarrels
,
but
to
informe
the
true
meane
how
to
shunne
offences
,
or
being
offended
,
how
to
represse
an
iniury
,
with
a
due
respect
,
both
of
honour
and
a
christian
consideration
:
Iniuries
are
aswell
offered
by
wordes
as
by
deedes
;
in
wordes
,
by
vnseemely
speeches
,
as
in
giuing
the
lie
,
or
such
other
like
;
in
deedes
,
no
lesse
by
depriuing
men
of
their
reputation
&
right
,
as
in
deprauing
them
of
their
due
by
any
other
meane●
I
might
speake
of
infinite
wrongs
to
be
offered
in
both
these
kindes
,
that
might
draw
to
blowes
:
but
I
will
let
them
passe
,
for
I
hold
it
no
lesse
expedient
for
wisemen
to
know
when
it
is
time
to
put
vp
,
as
when
it
is
time
to
draw
their
weapons
.
Vertue
alloweth
a
iust
Reuenge
,
and
admitteth
the
defence
of
property
and
right
:
yet
true
it
is
,
that
the
law
of
God
willeth
vs
to
be
of
that
perfect
patience
,
as
not
onely
to
endure
iniurious
wordes
,
but
also
quietly
to
disgest
and
putvp
all
other
wrongs
that
are
offered
,
what
,
or
howsoeuer
:
but
very
few
men
haue
attained
to
that
perfection
in
suffering
wrongs
and
iniuries
,
as
the
Law
of
God
requireth
:
there
is
nothing
more
intollerable
to
flesh
and
bloud
,
then
to
endure
wrong
;
let
Diuinity
and
Philosophy
too
,
perswade
what
they
list
,
for
impatient
cruelty
,
making
hot
spurde
youth
his
Agent
,
doth
thinke
no
man
capable
of
glory
,
that
is
not
apt
and
ready
to
reuenge
.
And
here
Cicero
,
to
aggrauate
the
matter
,
tels
mee
,
That
it
is
as
great
iniustice
to
put
vppe
an
iniury
,
as
to
doe
awrong
:
But
if
it
be
iniustice
to
put
vppe
an
iniurie
,
why
then
it
is
a
vertue
to
Reuenge
,
but
Reuenge
proceedes
of
Anger
,
for
Anger
is
the
mother
of
Reuenge
,
and
what
affinity
may
be
betweene
angry
Reuenge
,
and
doing
of
Iustice
,
I
thinke
is
as
much
as
is
betweene
doing
of
right
,
and
doing
of
wrong
,
and
so
by
consequence
as
is
between
vertue
and
vice
.
I
know
not
how
to
reconcile
these
matters
together
,
but
for
him
that
is
iniured
I
thinke
the
surest
way
is
to
reuenge
himselfe
by
patience
,
for
hee
that
is
armed
with
patience
,
to
endure
and
suffer
wrong
,
punisheth
more
in
not
punishing
,
then
the
hastiest
Executioner
that
is
most
speedy
in
reuenge
.
Perhaps
(
now
on
the
other
side
)
it
may
seeme
contrary
to
the
courage
of
man
,
to
relent
when
they
haue
done
a
wrong
,
but
rather
to
persist
,
and
to
vphold
one
wrong
with
another
,
the
lesse
with
the
greater
:
if
wee
could
then
but
examine
the
matter
with
a
christian
consideration
,
it
would
appeare
that
he
that
doth
persist
to
doe
euill
,
doth
still
endeuour
to
condemne
himselfe
.
Who
will
impute
him
to
be
worthy
of
infamy
,
that
is
cowardly
stricken
by
another
,
or
that
is
oppressed
by
aduantage
by
any
manner
of
meane
?
nay
,
who
will
not
rather
condemne
him
that
offereth
such
an
iniury
and
acquit
him
to
whome
it
was
done
?
And
who
will
not
laugh
to
see
the
sawcines
of
some
little
worthy
persons
,
in
whome
there
is
neither
vertue
,
desert
,
nor
any
other
merite
of
worth
,
but
a
little
audatious
boldnes
,
and
yet
will
pearch
and
presume
to
take
that
place
that
is
an
other
mans
right
?
To
conclude
therefore
I
say
,
that
infamy
is
due
to
him
,
that
willingly
doth
a
dishonourable
wrong
;
but
no
reproch
at
all
to
him
that
taketh
it
.
But
to
the
end
that
men
might
know
their
owne
places
,
both
what
they
ought
to
take
,
and
how
they
ought
to
giue
,
it
shall
not
be
amisse
to
distinguish
of
Gentry
,
and
to
shew
the
difference
between
Gentlemen
and
Gentlemen
;
from
whence
,
and
how
it
growes
.
I
say
there
is
a
disequality
in
Gentry
,
for
vertue
being
(
as
it
were
)
the
first
steppe
to
Generosity
,
hee
that
can
bur
vaunt
of
the
Scutchions
left
vnto
him
by
Ancestors
,
seemeth
himselfe
to
bee
very
destitute
,
for
the
more
high
he
fetcheth
his
petigrie
,
the
lesse
reputation
he
meriteth
himselfe
,
if
hee
cannot
continue
that
honour
,
left
vnto
him
by
his
Ancestors
.
Whilst
we
doe
hunt
after
a
phantasticall
glory
,
wee
doe
abandon
the
true
;
for
the
ground
of
honor
consisteth
in
vertue
.
Marcus
Marcellus
builded
a
Temple
in
Rome
,
which
he
called
the
Temple
of
Honour
;
but
so
seated
,
that
none
could
enter
it
,
but
they
must
first
passe
thorough
the
Temple
of
Vertue
.
It
might
be
demanded
,
why
noble
bloud
should
be
preferred
before
base
Parentage
(
as
they
call
it
)
for
neither
is
he
that
is
of
Gentle
bloud
more
valiant
then
he
that
is
of
low
degree
,
neither
in
his
race
more
swifter
,
nor
in
health
more
lusty
▪
nor
of
greater
force
;
if
then
the
case
standeth
thus
,
that
neither
the
fauour
of
Fortune
,
nor
the
comely
feature
of
the
body
,
distinguisheth
man
from
man
,
and
as
it
were
,
by
distinct
offices
deuideth
them
,
no
doubt
,
the
diuersity
is
knowne
by
the
qualities
of
the
mind
.
Gein
Ottoman
brother
to
the
great
Turke
,
being
a
prisoner
at
Rome
,
it
was
tolde
him
,
how
Fardinando
was
nimble
and
quicke
in
running
,
leaping
,
vawting
,
and
such
other
exercises
of
the
body
:
Ottoman
answered
that
the
slaues
and
base
borne
of
his
Country
were
endued
with
all
those
qualities
,
and
that
the
Princes
&
mighty
men
,
were
onely
famed
&
renowned
for
their
valiance
,
their
bounty
and
liberality
.
An
excellent
answere
of
a
Heathen
,
and
it
is
truth
,
the
Gentility
as
it
is
a
glorious
image
of
ancient
progeny
,
so
it
is
commonly
garnished
and
replenished
with
singular
vertues
,
farre
exceeding
the
common
sort
.
Seneca
aduiseth
,
that
who
would
iudge
of
a
Gentleman
,
that
might
bee
reputed
worthy
of
that
name
,
must
first
strip
him
out
of
his
gay
clothes
,
hee
must
set
aside
his
liuinges
and
titles
of
honour
,
with
all
other
fauours
of
Fortune
,
he
mustalso
imagine
himto
be
with
out
a
body
,
nor
he
must
esteeme
nor
value
nothing
,
but
the
excellency
of
the
minde
.
If
Gentlemen
in
these
dayes
should
be
brought
to
these
Ballances
,
and
none
admitted
worthy
but
those
that
hold
out
weight
,
there
would
not
be
such
a
thronging
and
thrusting
as
there
is
,
the
bordes
end
would
bee
more
pestered

holde
not
him
that
from
a
base
estate
is
exalted
by
a
Princes
fauoure
(
without
desert
)
to
be
a
Gentleman
▪
for
a
Prince
at
his
pleasure
may
make
a
man
either
rich
or
poore
,
but
to
make
him
eyther
good
or
bad
,
belongeth
onely
to
the
grace
of
God
,
but
not
to
the
Prince
.
A
Prince
may
then
make
a
man
great
,
but
he
cannot
make
him
good
,
hee
may
giue
him
honourable
titles
,
but
he
cannot
giue
him
an
honourable
minde
;
and
albeit
that
Gentlemen
of
late
preferment
,
may
excell
in
vertue
,
wit
and
policy
;
yet
in
this
minority
of
years
,
they
may
not
compare
with
families
of
noble
bloud
,
and
long
discent
:
for
euen
as
we
do
chiefly
reuerence
gray
hayres
and
elder
yeares
;
so
the
ancient
race
of
gentility
,
is
especially
to
bee
esteemed
and
honoured
,
and
a
new
made
Gentleman
,
with
what
quality
so
euer
endued
(
yet
being
the
first
of
his
house
)
must
giue
place
to
the
other
,
that
are
of
more
auncient
lineage
and
more
honourable
discent
,
prouided
alwayes
,
that
those
that
are
digressed
from
the
vertuous
endeauors
of
their
honourable
auncestors
,
let
them
be
reputed
as
degenerate
,
and
vnworthy
to
chalenge
eyther
place
or
title
:
for
he
that
doth
swerue
from
the
steppes
of
his
auncestors
,
hee
staineth
the
name
of
his
family
.
The
Romaines
and
the
Lidians
had
a
Law
,
that
those
sonnes
that
followed
not
their
fathers
steppes
in
vertue
,
but
liued
in
a
licentious
and
vicious
manner
of
life
,
should
bee
disinherited
,
and
their
landes
and
goodes
bestowed
of
the
most
honest
of
the
race
:
And
we
see
many
families
,
that
in
times
past
were
obscure
,
and
in
small
account
,
are
now
inkindled
and
stirred
vp
,
to
purchase
praise
and
winne
renowne
,
by
their
owne
vertuous
indeauors
:
we
see
others
againe
that
haue
discended
from
old
and
ancient
families
,
that
by
their
owne
vitious
and
vilde
demeanoures
,
haue
crackt
their
own
credites
,
and
haue
extinguished
the
glory
of
their
predecessors
.
By
a
Gentleman
born
,
it
is
ment
,
he
must
be
discended
from
three
degrees
of
Gentry
,
both
by
father
and
mother
(
for
this
is
the
opinion
of
the
Heraldes
)
otherwise
they
are
called
Gentlemen
of
the
first
head
,
night-growne
,
mushrumpes
,
start-vppes
and
such
other
.
Nobilitie
it selfe
(
as
some
would
describe
it
)
is
a
commendation
proceeding
from
the
deserts
of
our
ancient
Progenitors
:
but
to
speake
truely
,
both
according
to
Diuinity
and
Philosophie
,
there
is
no
true
Nobility
,
but
that
which
proceedes
from
vertue
.
Faith
is
a
rich
treasure
,
yet
without
works
it
is
dead
;
so
Nobility
is
honorable
,
but
without
vertu
it
is
base
.
Iacob
and
Esau
were
brethren
descended
from
one
wombe
,
yet
the
one
was
noble
by
vertue
,
the
other
ignoble
by
vice
:
so
Titus
and
Domitian
were
both
sonnes
to
the
Romaine
Emperour
vespatian
,
but
Titus
was
called
by
the
Senate
,
The
delight
of
the
world
,
and
Domitian
through
his
execrable
tyranies
was
named
,
The
monster
of
humaine
kinde
.
Nobility
without
vertue
,
is
like
a
Knighthood
without
desert
:
and
as
there
hath
beene
many
noble
Families
,
excelling
in
vertue
,
&
quality
of
wit
,
so
there
hath
beene
Cities
of
honorable
account
,
namely
,
that
of
Athens
,
worthily
famed
&
renowned
,
where
there
were
bred
many
wise
sages
an
d
valiant
Captaines
,
which
through
their
counsell
and
wisedome
did
rule
and
preserue
the
weale
publike
,
by
whose
puisance
the
enemy
was
repelled
,
by
whose
vnconquerable
courage
&
vertue
,
their
dominions
were
inlarged
.
I
might
likewise
speake
of
mighty
Rome
,
that
was
sometimes
mistris
of
the
world
,
it
was
then
accounted
a
great
glory
to
be
reputed
a
Romaine
:
but
as
(
by
the
opinion
of
her
owne
writers
)
shee
had
her
originall
from
a
base
and
a
bastardly
generation
,
I
meane
,
from
the
fugitiue
Troians
that
escaped
the
burning
towne
,
and
slaughtered
heapes
of
their
betraied
Countrimen
:
but
her
glory
hath
beene
sithens
obscured
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
ouershadowed
with
darknes
:
but
I
wonder
that
our
English
Nation
,
for
the
glory
of
antiquity
shoulde
bee
so
fond
to
recount
their
Genealogy
fro
m
such
a
desteyned
progeny
:
a
fugitiue
people
,
a
crauen
generation
,
hunted
and
ferrited
,
from
place
to
place
,
from
country
to
country
,
from
region
to
region
:
their
City
of
Troy
it selfe
three
times
sackt
,
yet
to
proue
our
discents
from
thence
,
we
do
mingle
our
matters
with
so
many
fained
inuentions
,
as
it
might
seeme
strange
vnto
wisemen
,
but
more
absurd
to
enterlace
the
vain
fantasies
of
Poets
with
matters
of
truth
;
and
that
it
might
the
better
appeare
,
I
will
set
downe
the
story
in
as
briefe
and
short
manner
as
I
can
.
Leomedon
the
sonne
of
Dardanus
,
the
feyned
sonne
of
Ioue
,
a
false
periured
Prince
,
for
whose
offence
(
as
their
owne
hystories
makes
mention
)
:
Troy
was
first
ouerflowne
by
the
raging
of
the
sea
,
after
that
visited
againe
with
a
most
deadly
plague
;
which
could
not
be
appeased
but
by
the
monthly
gift
of
a
Virgin
,
to
a
sea-monster
,
as
they
fell
out
by
lot
,
till
in
continuance
of
time
,
it
lighted
on
Hesione
the
daughter
of
Leomedon
,
who
was
rescued
&
freed
by
Hercules
vpon
conditions
formerly
vowed
,
protested
and
plighted
by
oath
to
be
performed
by
Leomedon
to
Hercules
:
but
Hesione
being
deliuered
,
the
sea-monster
slaine
,
and
the
City
freede
from
all
incombrances
by
Hercules
:
Leomedon
now
againe
falsifying
his
promise
,
Hercules
to
reuenge
the
disloyalty
of
that
twice
periured
prince
,
first
sacked
the
City
of
Troy
,
where
Leomedon
sauing
himselfe
by
flight
,
Hercules
carried
away
with
him
prisoners
,
Priamus
and
Hesione
,
the
children
of
Leomedon
,
who
after
Hercules
being
departed
,
returned
againe
,
and
hauing
reedifyed
and
new
builded
the
city
,
was
a
second
time
assaulted
by
Hercules
,
who
hauing
slaine
Leomedon
,
and
now
againe
taken
the
City
;
Hercules
that
was
magnificent
in
all
his
enterprises
,
enlarged
Priamus
,
and
established
him
in
Troy
to
succeede
his
father
;
who
yet
againe
erected
and
builded
that
infortunate
City
which
flourished
in
pompe
and
pride
till
his
sonne
Paris
,
(
who
nothing
digressing
from
his
vnfaithfull
progenitors
)
in
a
treacherous
manner
stole
away
Helena
the
wife
of
Menelaus
,
king
of
Lacedemon
,
who
had
both
honorably
feasted
,
banqueted
and
entertained
both
him
and
his
company
:
in
reuenge
of
which
fact
,
the
angry
Greekes
ariuing
before
Troy
with
a
mighty
Army
,
after
ten
years
siege
,
and
a
great
slaughter
of
Princes
,
with
other
valiant
men
,
by
the
treason
of
Aeneas
,
together
with
the
consent
of
his
father
Anchises
,
&
Antenor
his
confederate
;
the
City
of
Troy
was
taken
,
miserably
burnt
and
defaced
,
the
country
ruined
and
wasted
,
the
aged
king
Priamus
miserably
slaine
,
and
the
whole
Troian
estate
vtterly
ouerthrowne
:
thus
writeth
Dictis
Cretensis
,
that
serued
with
the
Greekes
against
the
Troians
during
that
ten
yeares
warres
,
who
maketh
a
large
description
of
the
disloyalty
of
the
Troians
,
&
(
in
mine
opinion
)
not
without
iust
cause
;
for
although
Virgil
in
his
Aenidos
doth
write
more
fauourably
in
their
behalfe
,
it
is
to
be
considered
that
the
Romaines
deriuing
themselues
from
the
Troians
,
Virgil
himselfe
being
a
Romaine
,
doth
therefore
labour
so
much
as
in
him
lies
to
colour
out
the
vnfaithfullnes
of
the
Troyans
,
and
would
likewise
deriue
the
Troian
Princes
from
the
line
of
the
Pagan
Gods
,
which
they
themselues
had
deified
;
but
if
Dardanus
were
the
sonne
of
Ioue
(
as
their
writers
doe
report
)
his
Sonne
Leomedon
that
proued
periured
,
faithles
and
vntrusty
,
did
farre
digresse
from
any
sacred
disposition
:
so
did
Paris
,
that
was
Priams
sonne
,
who
shewed
himselfe
rather
to
proceede
from
the
issue
of
a
diuell
,
then
from
the
line
of
a
God
,
as
it
appeared
in
his
behauiour
,
both
to
Oenone
;
who
before
had
saued
his
life
,
and
againe
with
Menelaus
,
that
in
such
a
princely
sort
had
entertained
him
.
And
what
shall
I
say
of
our
great
Grandsire
Aeneas
,
from
whome
the
Romaines
would
so
faine
deriue
themselues
?
and
from
whome
(
as
some
of
our
English
writers
would
perswade
)
our
British
nation
did
discend
?
let
vs
see
what
Virgil
himselfe
doth
testifie
of
him
,
whose
penne
is
stained
in
the
finest
manner
,
to
blazon
forth
the
glory
of
Aeneas
,
yet
doth
hee
not
describe
him
to
bee
the
sonne
of
a
common
strumpet
begotten
by
old
Anchises
of
Venus
,
whom
the
Romaines
haue
diefied
together
with
their
great
Goddes
Flora
,
another
bird
of
the
same
wing
:
but
Aeneas
,
after
he
had
betraied
his
countey
,
he
himself
with
the
rest
of
his
treacheious
companions
,
were
forced
to
wander
at
the
sea
,
robbing
and
spoyling
,
attending
what
Destiny
would
bestow
of
him
,
landed
in
the
end
vpon
the
coast
of
Africa
,
at
new
built
Carthage
,
where
he
likewise
falsified
his
faith
,
and
betrayed
Dido
,
and
so
leauing
Carthage
,
in
the
end
arriued
in
Italy
,
where
,
by
menacing
threates
mingled
with
faire
promises
,
together
with
corruptions
&
gifts
,
he
made
such
discord
&
dissention
in
the
country
,
by
means
wherof
such
horible
slaughters
of
the
people
wer
committed
,
that
dispossessing
the
quiet
princes
thereof
,
hee
established
himselfe
in
the
kingdome
,
raigning
there
vntill
he
died
,
after
him
,
his
fugitiue
sonne
Ascanius
raigned
,
and
his
brother
Siluiu
Posthumus
succeeded
him
,
that
was
afterwardes
slain
by
his
vnblessed
Babe
Brute
,
who
for
that
fact
was
banished
Italy
,
and
(
as
some
writers
would
haue
it
)
after
hee
had
troubled
many
quiet
countries
,
ariued
in
England
,
the
called
Albion
,
from
whence
they
would
deriue
our
English
Petigrie
:
and
this
discent
is
not
lightly
accounted
of
by
those
that
are
of
little
vnderstanding
,
as
though
it
were
such
a
dignity
to
be
reputed
the
posterity
of
a
harlots
brood
:
I
like
not
the
conceit
,
and
I
hold
it
to
bee
as
fabulous
,
as
that
of
Dioclesian
the
Sirian
Prince
,
who
(
as
some
of
our
English
Croniclers
do
affirme
,
committed
thirty
of
his
daughters
to
the
sea
in
a
small
vessell
without
Pylote
or
guide
,
who
chancing
to
land
in
this
Isle
,
called
it
Albion
(
after
one
of
their
owne
names
)
and
after
this
arriuall
of
these
thirty
sisters
,
they
were
carnally
knowne
by
Deuils
,
and
brought
forth
a
propagation
of
Giants
,
which
were
afterwardes
slaine
by
Brutus
.
A
ridiculous
tale
,
and
for
matter
and
circumstance
,
fitter
to
furnish
the
Legenda
Aurea
,
then
to
be
inserted
for
matter
of
truth
in
a
Chronicle
history
,
and
it
may
well
become
the
Romaines
to
bragge
of
their
predecessor
Aeneas
;
but
for
vs
that
be
English
(
me
thinks
)
there
should
be
small
pride
to
depend
of
that
antique
generosity
,
that
is
so
basely
descended
:
and
againe
,
comparing
of
histories
,
there
is
no
possibility
,
how
the
tales
can
hang
together
:
for
the
fictions
of
Poets
,
they
are
no
groundes
for
Historians
to
build
vppon
,
and
therefore
to
returne
againe
to
our
first
purpose
,
I
say
,
there
are
degrees
of
gentrie
,
aswel
as
of
dignities
&
honors
,
and
that
one
is
so
much
more
a
Gentleman
by
birth
then
another
,
by
how
much
his
Gentry
is
more
ancient
,
more
renowned
,
more
manifest
,
and
more
mighty
,
which
may
bee
said
,
not
onely
in
respect
of
birth
,
but
likewise
in
respect
of
vertue
.
Gentlemen
bee
of
three
kindes
,
the
first
in
respect
of
bloud
,
for
so
the
vulgar
sort
vnderstands
it
;
the
second
,
in
respect
of
vertue
,
for
so
the
philosopher
doth
teach
it
:
the
third
,
in
respect
of
both
,
and
that
(
say
I
)
is
true
Gentrie
indeed
.
Gentrie
by
bloud
belongeth
but
to
the
body
;
but
gentrie
by
good
conditions
,
hath
relation
to
the
mind
:
but
when
a
man
is
gentill
both
by
birth
&
vertue
,
I
see
not
what
may
bee
added
vnto
him
:
yet
some
would
haue
a
third
supply
of
riches
&
wealth
,
but
riches
can
adde
no
degree
to
a
Gentleman
,
and
hee
that
woulde
draw
gentrie
from
wealth
,
is
iniurious
to
the
graces
that
are
giuen
vs
from
the
heauens
.
But
wealth
is
a
ready
instrument
to
put
in
practise
certaine
vertues
belonging
to
gentrie
,
namely
,
bounty
,
and
liberality
:
otherwise
riches
are
rather
a
disgrace
then
a
grace
to
a
Gentleman
,
that
doth
not
bestow
them
bountifully
,
as
is
befitting
his
estate
.
Yet
those
that
be
of
the
scraping
humour
,
wil
somtimes
pilfer
a
Text
out
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
which
,
wresting
into
a
wrong
sense
,
they
will
alledge
for
themselues
,
that
their
greedy
heaping
and
gathering
together
,
is
but
a
christianlike
care
,
that
euery
man
should
haue
to
prouide
for
his
family
.
These
scraping
excuses
are
fitter
for
Churles
then
for
Gentlemen
,
(
and
yet
me
thinkes
)
Simonydes
shifted
himselfe
pretily
,
who
being
demanded
,
why
he
began
to
grow
so
miserable
in
his
latter
yeares
,
to
fall
a
hording
vp
of
riches
,
when
he
was
ready
for
the
graue
;
to
acquit
himselfe
from
a
couetous
disposition
,
aunswered
,
because
(
said
he
)
I
had
rather
haue
goodes
to
leaue
to
mine
enemies
when
I
am
dead
,
then
to
stand
in
need
of
my
friendes
,
whilst
I
am
aliue
.
I
cannot
forget
to
giue
Dionisius
his
due
commendation
,
who
being
aduertised
of
one
that
abounded
in
wealth
,
and
yet
liued
a
sparing
and
a
miserable
life
,
he
commanded
the
party
vpon
paine
of
death
,
to
bring
in
his
riches
,
and
to
resigneall
that
euer
hee
had
to
bee
disposed
at
his
pleasure
:
the
party
that
durst
not
directly
contradict
what
the
King
had
commaunded
;
made
semblance
to
deliuer
all
that
euer
hee
had
,
but
secretly
reseruing
a
small
portion
to
himselfe
,
wherewith
departing
into
a
remote
place
,
hee
after
liued
with
that
little
pittance
,
(
which
he
had
concealed
in
a
more
bountifull
manner
,
then
euer
he
had
done
before
when
hee
was
possessed
of
his
greatest
aboundance
;
which
being
certified
to
Dionisius
,
hee
sent
yet
once
againe
for
him
,
and
giuing
him
all
which
before
he
had
taken
from
him
,
he
said
;
now
thou
knowest
how
to
vse
riches
,
take
what
is
thine
owne
,
for
now
thou
well
deseruest
them
.
I
might
conclude
,
that
if
the
enioying
of
wealth
&
riches
,
be
matter
sufficient
,
to
make
a
man
to
be
gentilized
,
it
were
then
a
vilde
thing
to
bee
a
Gentleman
,
because
they
are
seldome
attained
vnto
,
but
by
oppression
,
extortion
,
deceit
,
fraud
,
&
such
other
corruption
▪
there
are
comprised
vnder
the
title
of
Gentry
,
all
Ecclesiastical
persons
professing
religion
,
all
Martial
men
that
haue
borne
office
,
and
haue
had
commaund
in

all
Students

Artes
and
Sciences

and
by
our
English
custome

all
Innes
of
Court
men

professors
of
the
Law
:
It'
skilles
not
what
their
Fathers
were

whether
Farmers
,
Shoomakers

Taylers

Tinkers
,
if
their

The
profession
of
Armes
being
honourable
,
euery
ordinary
Souldier
that
hath
serued
seauen
years
without
reproch
,
ought
to
be
accounted
a
Gentleman
,
and
by
the
lawes
of
Armes
may
challenge
the
combat
of
any
Gentleman
,
in
defence
of
his
reputation
.
A
Gentleman
hauing
aspired
to
any
title
or
dignity
in
the
field
,
and
in
respect
of
age
,
or
of
any
other
infirmity
is
retired
to
his
owne
house
,
or
to
any
other
resting
place
,
ought
neuerthelesse
to
enioy
that
title
and
reputation
,
which
he
had
formerly
gained
.
Amongst
Students
,
there
be
many
,
that
to
attain
wisedome
and
knowledge
,
haue
betaken
themselues
to
continuall
study
,
and
haue
thereby
attained
to
singular
vertues
,
and
for
profound
knowledge
in
many
matters
,
be
had
in
admiration
:
but
that
kind
of
vertue
that
extendeth
it selfe
to
the
common
profit
of
al
men
,
that
is
altogether
occupied
about
the
maintenance
of
the
common
wealth
,
hath
his
first
preferment
,
but
those
that
doe
but
imploy
the
benefite
of
their
studies
to
some
particular
purpose
,
or
to
their
own
priuate
gain
,
must
giue
place
to
the
former
.
The
true
martialing
of
soueraigne
honour
,
to
place
euery
one
in
his
right
degree
,
and
to
giue
him
his
due
;
the
Diuine
is
first
to
haue
preferment
,
for
the
Minister
of
the
word
of
God
ought
to
haue
the
chiefest
and
most
honourable
place
,
especially
when
they
be
such
as
they
ought
to
be
,
as
Saint
Paul
writing
to
Timothie
:
They
deserue
to
haue
double
honour
(
faith
he
)
where
they
reade
or
preach
the
Gospell
,
&
where
their
works
and
manner
of
liuing
are
conformable
&
agreeing
to
their
doctrine
.
And
as
Saint
Hierome
saith
;
Great
is
the
dignity
of
Prelates
,
but
greater
is
their
fall
if
they
be
wicked
.
But
this
honour
thus
rendered
vnto
them
,
they
can
not
challenge
as
their
proper
right
or
due
apertaining
to
themselues
,
for
that
Prelate
that
is
ambitious
of
worldly
honour
and
estimation
,
doth
rather
smell
of
the
Spirite
of
Antichrist
,
then
shew
himselfe
to
bee
a
follower
to
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
whose
prescriptions
are
humility
:
for
hee
that
exalteth
him selfe
,
or
desireth
to
bee
great
amongst
you
,
let
him
be
brought
low
(
sayeth
our
Sauiour
)
let
him
bee
your
seruant
.
It
is
manifest
,
that
in
Mathew
and
Marke
,
he
reproueth
the
ambition
of
the
Sonnes
of
Zebedie
,
who
ambitiously
desired
the
one
to
sit
on
his
right
hand
,
the
other
on
his
left
;
and
as
Christ
elsewhere
condemneth
the
ambitious
affections
of
such
as
ambitiously
desire
to
exalt
themselues
,
and
to
seeke
superiority
:
so
doth
he
in
like
sort
condemne
all
other
,
what
or
who
soeuer
,
that
are
so
puft
vp
with
pride
and
arrogancy
,
that
they
disdaine
to
giue
place
and
reuerence
to
those
that
haue
iurisdiction
and
magistracy
in
the
Church
of
God
:
and
there
is
no
lesse
pride
and
contempt
in
those
that
will
refuse
to
giue
honour
and
reuerence
to
him
that
is
in
authority
to
beare
office
and
rule
in
the
ministery
,
then
there
is
in
him
on
the
other
side
,
that
doth
ambitiously
desire
to
rule
,
but
not
to
profite
the
Church
;
the
which
,
so
farre
as
my
little
skill
will
afforde
me
,
may
most
aptly
bee
applyed
to
the
Pope
&
his
shauelings
.
But
he
that
hath
any
spirituall
charge
,
or
hath
the
cure
of
soules
in
the
Church
of
God
,
I
say
with
Saint
Paul
,
He
is
worthy
of
double
honour
,
and
he
that
diligently
preacheth
the
Gospel
and
conformeth
his
life
according
to
his
doctrine
(
I
say
still
)
wee
cannot
reuerence
him
enough
,
nor
render
him
too
much
honor
.
Our
Sauiour
himselfe
would
in
no
wise
take
vpon
him
to
iudge
betweene
the
brethren
that
came
vnto
him
about
the
diuision
of
their
land
;
neither
is
there
any
example
in
all
the
New
Testament
,
where
any
of
the
Apostles
(
after
their
calling
)
intermedled
wich
matters
appertaining
to
temporall
Magistracy
,
but
applyed
their
whole
endeauors
to
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
;
the
auncient
Romaines
had
that
obseruation
,
for
they
would
in
no
wise
admit
that
their
Flamius
,
nor
any
other
of
their
sacrificing
Priests
,
shold
beare
any
rule
or
gouernement
in
the
common
wealth
,
but
that
they
should
onely
exercise
themselues
in
the
seruice
of
their
Gods
:
but
this
prohibition
was
not
done
in
any
disgrace
,
whereby
to
abate
or
diminish
the
least
iot
of
their
honor
or
estimation
,
for
king
Dridanias
censuring
of
professions
,
which
might
bee
most
worthie
,
gaue
the
highest
degree
of
honour
to
the
Priests
,
that
did
dayly
offer
sacrifice
in
the
temples
of
their
Gods
.
If
the
Heathen
did
thus
much
exalt
and
dignifie
the
reputation
of
these
prophane
Priests
that
were
but
dedicated
to
the
seruice
of
Idols
,
and
Pagan
Gods
,
what
estimation
,
what
reuerence
,
what
honour
may
wee
render
to
those
that
are
the
Ambassadors
of
the
Almighty
God
?
that
are
sent
vnto
vs
with
the
glad
and
ioyfull
tidings
of
our
saluation
?
that
are
our
Fathers
to
begetvs
to
Iesus
Christ
,
by
the
preaching
of
his
Gospell
?
that
are
his
Stewardes
to
dispence
his
holy
mysteries
amongst
vs
:
to
whome
wee
are
not
onely
to
attribute
honour
,
but
for
whome
wee
are
also
bound
to
pray
:
if
they
doe
not
make
themselues
vnworthy
of
it
by
their
owne
contempt
,
by
their
couetousnes
,
by
their
pride
,
and
by
their
ambition
,
as
there
bee
some
that
haue
set
themselues
opposite
to
the
ordinance
of
the
Church
,
that
haue
set
the
holy
scriptures
at
a
iarre
,
that
will
many
times
make
the
glose
to
ouerthrow
the
Text
,
that
will
cry
out
for
Discipline
,
yet
will
obey
no
Discipline
,
that
will
take
vpon
them
to
teach
al
men
,
yet
they
themselues
wil
not
be
taught
,
that
are
angry
against
Bishoppes
,
and
would
not
haue
them
to
be
Lordes
,
yet
are
become
so
Lady
like
themselues
,
that
they
would
haue
euery
one
a
new
fashion
particular
to
himselfe
:
these
are
to
proud
in
their
own
conceites
,
these
be
they
that
disdaining
to
yeelde
to
authority
▪
do
shew
greater
pride
in
their
contempt
,
than
the
other
can
shew
in
their
most
ambitious
desires
.
Saint
Paul
writing
to
Timothie
:
Hee
that
desireth
the
office
of
a
Bishoppe
,
that
man
desireth
a
good
worke
:
I
hope
the
office
of
a
Bishoppe
is
not
altogether
without
authority
,
and
that
authority
in
the
Church
of
God
,
is
not
altogether
vnworthy
of
honour
:
and
where
Christ
prohibited
his
Disciples
,
that
they
should
not
be
caled
Rabbi
,
that
they
should
not
be
called
Doctors
,
&c.
by
the
opinion
of
the
most
learned
writers
,
those
words
of
Christ
doe
not
condemne
superiority
,
lordship
,
or
any
other
like
authority
,
but
the
ambitious
desire
onely
;
neither
doth
he
say
elsewhere
,
that
no
man
should
be
great
,
or
beare
rule
amongst
them
:
but
his
words
are
;
He
that
desireth
to
be
great
amongst
you
,
let
him
be
humbled
,
And
Timothie
notwithstanding
those
words
spoken
by
Christ
,
calleth
himselfe
the
Doctor
of
the
Gentiles
;
and
Paul
in
like
manner
writing
to
the
Corinthians
,
calleth
himselfe
their
Father
.
Now
as
the
holy
Scriptures
exhorteth
the
professors
of
the
Gospell
to
be
humble
&
meeke
,
so
we
ought
to
render
them
the
first
title
of
honour
,
and
to
giue
them
precedence
in
the
formost
ranke
,
especially
to
those
that
do
not
ambitiously
desire
it
.
Loe
,
heare
now
the
difference
betweene
the
Disciples
of
Christ
,
and
the
followers
of
Antichrist
,
the
one
refuseth
the
preferments
of
the
world
,
that
are
offered
vnto
them
by
the
Deuill
,
and
contenteth
themselues
with
their
vocation
in
the
ministery
:
the
other
with
the
Pope
,
accepteth
of
al
that
is
offered
,
&
besides
their
ecclesiasticall
promotions
,
they
hunt
after
temporall
iurisdictions
,
&
other
proud
titles
of
the
world
,
to
vphold
and
maintain
their
pride
and
ambition
,
for
the
better
manifestation
whereof
,
I
thinke
it
will
not
bee
out
of
season
to
remember
a
iest
,
that
was
merily
broken
by
a
plaine
Country
fellow
,
vpon
one
of
the
Popes
Chaplaines
,
the
Bishoppe
of
Cullen
,
who
passing
on
a
iourney
sumptuously
mounted
,
and
gorgeously
furnished
,
both
himself
and
al
the
rest
that
were
in
his
company
,
was
encountered
by
a
rude
country
fellow
,
who
comming
to
the
Bishop
,
after
hee
had
bluntly
saluted
him
,
he
saide
,
my
Lord
,
I
haue
heard
speaking
of
Peter
and
Paul
,
and
of
some
others
that
were
reputed
to
be
good
and
godly
men
,
I
may
well
commend
their
goodnes
,
but
I
will
neuer
prayse
their
wit
,
for
they
were
glad
to
amble
about
the
country
on
foot
,
for
falling
followed
(
perhaps
)
with
some
poore
thred
bare
fellowes
like
themselues
,
but
I
see
God
hath
prouided
for
your
Lordship
better
then
for
them
,
or
your
wisedome
is
the
more
to
prouide
so
well
for
your selfe
.
The
Bishop
that
heard
himselfe
to
bee
thus
pretily
nipt
,
returned
this
answere
;
but
sirra
(
said
he
)
you
mistake
your
text
,
you
thinke
I
take
more
state
vppon
me
,
then
is
befitting
an
Apostle
;
but
let
Peter
&
Paul
goe
or
ride
how
they
list
,
I
am
not
only
the
Bishoppe
of
Cullen
,
but
I
am
ouer
and
besides
a
Prince
Elector
:
and
for
this
state
that
you
thinke
I
take
vpon
mee
,
as
you
thinke
it
to
be
too
much
for
a
Bishoppe
,
so
I
know
it
to
be
too
little
for
a
prince
,
and
thus
you
are
answered
:
you
haue
answered
well
(
said
the
other
)
,
but
good
my
Lord
but
one
question
more
,
if
this
prince
Elector
,
that
you
speake
of
,
do
happen
to
goe
to
the
Deuill
for
his
pride
,
what
will
become
of
my
Lord
Bishop
of
Cullen
?
We
might
make
the
like
demaund
to
the
Pope
,
who
notwithstanding
his
humble
p●etence
to
bee
Seruus
Seruorum
Dei
,
yet
hee
assumeth
to
himselfe
the
dispose
of
the
whole
world
,
&
not
contented
with
that
neither
but
he
further
taketh
vppon
him
to
haue
commaund
both
in
Heauen
and
Hell
,
to
let
in
,
and
shut
out
,
as
it
pleaseth
him
:
but
because
his
intollerable
pride
is
well
inough
knowne
,
I
may
be
the
more
sparing
:
it
was
the
bounty
and
liberality
of
princes
,
that
first
begat
this
ambition
in
Popes
:
so
,
ambition
was
it
again
,
that
first
destroyed
Religion
:
but
for
the
tru
professors
of
the
Gospell
(
I
protest
)
I
thinke
it
a
sinne
,
to
carry
any
ill
conceit
against
them
,
whose
praiers
vnto
God
doth
so
appease
his
displeasure
towardes
vs
,
that
hee
many
times
forbeareth
to
punish
vs
,
when
wee
haue
worthily
deserued
it
:
and
as
the
prayers
of
Moses
did
rather
procure
the
victory
against
Amalecke
,
then
all
the
swordes
that
did
accompany
Iosua
to
the
fight
:
so
I
beleeue
that
the
petition
of
one
godly
man
,
deliuered
with
a
confident
zeale
,
is
of
more
effect
then
the
prayers
of
a
multitude
,
that
are
but
breathed
in
words
,
and
are
rather
vttered
from
the
mouth
,
then
proceeding
from
the
heart
.
Hauing
thus
placed
the
Diuine
in
the
formost
rank
;
the
Souldier
is
next
to
be
preferred
:
for
honor
cannot
be
wanting
in
those
men
of
valour
,
that
haue
restored
to
their
country
their
bloud
,
which
their
conntrie
first
gaue
vnto
them
:
if
wee
stand
vpon
birth
onely
,
then
the
most
auncient
,
whether
in
Nobility
or
Gentility
:
if
we
stand
vpon
desert
,
then
the
martiall
man
,
hee
that
doth
deliuer
his
country
from
the
seruitude
of
strangers
,
the
oppression
of
Tyrantes
,
that
doth
countermaund
the
miseries
of
ciuill
dissentions
,
that
doth
restraine
the
pride
▪
and
ambition
of
aspiring
traitors
,
that
doth
inlarge
their
territories
,
defend
their
liberties
,
vphold
and
maintaine
Iustice
,
and
make
honorable
defence
against
all
inuaders
.
The
Souldier
is
the
man
that
holdeth
the
whole
world
in
awe
,
and
is
not
onely
a
sure
defence
against
forraine
inuasions
,
but
likewise
against
domesticall
rebellions
:
wee
need
not
in
this
case
to
seeke
after
farre
fet
precedents
,
when
wee
haue
home
examples
inough
of
our
own
,
who
hath
not
heard
of
Iack
Straw
,
Iacke
Cade
and
of
Ket
,
with
many
others
now
of
later
times
in
Ireland
,
that
if
the
Souldiers
sworde
had
not
beene
of
greater
vertue
,
then
a
writ
out
of
the
Kinges
Bench
,
to
haue
brought
them
before
my
Lord
Chiefe
Iustice
,
they
would
neither
haue
made
appearance
nor
haue
paid
fees
.
I
say
then
,
that
the
execution
of
Iustice
lieth
in
Arms
▪
but
(
me
thinkes
)
I
see
a
Lawyer
laugh
at
this
,
for
those
that
bee
of
the
sorrier
sort
of
Lawyers
,
will
in
no
wise
that
the
Souldier
should
bee
a
maintainer
of
Iustice
,
for
that
they
onely
would
arrogate
to
themselues
:
but
for
the
better
credite
of
the
matter
,
I
will
salute
my
Maisters
of
the
Law
with
a
few
wordes
deliuered
by
S.
Ambrose
,
and
thus
they
follow
.
Valiant
men
that
do
defend
their
Country
,
and
protect
the
Weale
from
spoile
and
ruine
,
doe
the
office
of
true
iustice
;
Souldiers
do
protect
the
common
wealth
,
and
they
defend
it
from
all
sorts
of
spoile
,
eyther
forraine
or
intestine
,
but
onely
,
they
cannot
saue
it
from
the
spoyle
of
the
Lawyers
.
Hauing
thus
placed
the
Deuine
and
now
the
Souldier
,
in
the
third
ranke
are
to
march
,
those
that
doe
compose
and
compound
lawes
and
ordinances
,
for
the
maintenance
of
right
and
ciuill
society
▪
amongst
these
the
venerable
and
reuerend
Iudges
,
and
all
other
that
are
established
in
office
and
authority
vnder
Princes
,
but
especially
,
if
they
execute
their
places
with
honour
and
honesty
.
The
Lawyers
will
neuer
thinke
mee
to
be
a
good
Sariant
Maior
,
to
martiall
them
thus
in
the
Rereward
,
that
would
ranke
themselues
with
the
formost
;
especiall
,
in
the
time
of
peace
,
for
they
take
themselues
to
bee
the
onely
Agents
of
a
happy
gouernment
.
It
is
our
wickednes
that
maketh
the
Lawyer
necessary
;
so
necessity
is
it
,
that
maketh
him
honourable
,
&
therefore
he
is
not
to
march
in
equall
ranke
,
neither
with
the
Souldier
,
nor
with
the
Philosopher
.
The
principall
office
of
the
Law
is
,
in
the
time
of
peace
to
commaund
thinges
honest
and
vertuous
,
and
to
forbid
what
is
dishonest
and
vicious
;
but
what
can
the
Lawyer
doe
with
his
prescriptions
,
before
there
be
a
setled
obedience
,
which
is
first
to
bee
established
by
the
Souldier
?
It
is
truth
,
the
Lawyer
and
the
Souldier
could
neuer
thriue
both
in
one
shire
,
and
therefore
no
maruell
though
they
crie
out
with
Tully
,
Caedant
arma
togae
,
for
,
these
doe
not
onely
loue
to
sleepe
in
a
whole
skin
,
and
are
afraid
of
knockes
,
but
vnder
the
pretence
of
honouring
peace
,
they
would
both
excuse
their
cowardize
,
and
would
arrogate
to
themselues
a
supreame
authority
,
to
be
the
principall
pillars
to
conserue
and
vphold
peace
;
and
because
Tully
would
haue
it
,
that
weapons
should
giue
place
to
the
gown
,
they
would
from
hence
conclude
,
that
the
Souldier
must
giue
place
to
the
Lawyer
;
but
as
good
lucke
would
haue
it
,
Tully
himselfe
in
the
same
booke
of
Officis
,
hath
bequeathed
a
double
honour
vnto
those
men
,
who
armed
do
make
warre
,
and
robbed
do
gouerne
the
common
wealth
:
and
the
Poets
haue
fained
Minerua
to
be
armed
,
signifying
,
that
Captains
and
Souldiers
,
should
be
as
wise
in
counsailing
,
as
couragious
in
conquering
as
politike
in
keeping
,
as
valiant
in
getting
.
But
to
put
all
questions
out
of
doubt
,
and
that
the
Lawyer
should
not
thinke
himselfe
disgrast
,
by
giuing
place
to
the
Souldier
,
I
wil
proue
by
sufficient
instance
that
the
profession
of
Armes
is
more
honourable
then
the
profession
of
Law
,
and
so
by
consequence
the
Soldier
is
of
greater
worth
and
excellency
then
the
Lawyer
.
The
affaires
of
warre
is
a
knowledge
behoueful
for
the
greatest
Monarch
,
when
a
king
is
not
so
much
renowned
for
his
crowne
,
as
for
his
skill
in
knowledge
of
Armes
.
The
nine
Worthies
of
the
worlde
,
were
Martiall
men
,
reputed
honourable
for
their
prowes
,
not
for
their
knowledge
eyther
in
Law
or
Philosophy
though
the
knowledge
of
them
both
be
of
great
excellency
.
Although
all
the
gifts
of
Fortune
are
to
be
despised
in
respect
of
learning
;
yet
there
is
nothing
so
glorious
,
as
to
bee
called
a
great
Captaine
,
or
a
worthie
Souldier
:
and
it
was
very
neatly
answered
by
him
,
who
being
demanded
by
his
friend
,
whether
hee
had
rather
to
be
Achilles
or
Homer
;
asked
the
other
again
,
whether
he
had
rather
to
be
a
Captaine
or
a
Trumpeter
:
letters
are
but
the
ornaments
of
Armes
,
and
learning
is
more
necessary
for
a
man
of
Warre
,
then
for
any
other
profession
.
The
aduentures
vndertaken
by
warre
,
the
true
prouocation
is
glory
;
but
he
that
sauoureth
not
the
fruits
of
letters
,
hath
as
little
feeling
in
the
greatnes
of
glory
.
A
man
that
is
ignorant
in
Artes
,
can
neuer
excell
in
Armes
,
and
as
Plato
sayeth
;
Happy
is
that
common
wealth
,
where
eyther
the
Prince
is
a
Philosopher
,
or
where
a
Philosopher
is
a
prince
:
so
it
may
be
called
a
fortunate
warre
,
where
the
chiefe
Commander
is
a
great
scholler
,
or
a
great
scholler
is
the
chiefe
Commaunder
.
What
made
the
Romaines
to
become
so
famous
,
but
that
their
Captaines
and
Commaunders
were
as
great
schollers
as
they
were
warriours
?
it
is
not
exercise
in
warre
,
that
maketh
euery
man
fit
to
be
a
Captaine
,
though
he
follow
the
profession
neuer
so
long
,
especially
,
if
he
be
vnlearned
;
yet
there
is
none
so
vnapt
for
the
warre
,
but
if
he
be
lettered
,
it
so
much
the
more
helpeth
his
experience
.
A
man
that
is
aged
(
let
his
yeares
be
neuer
so
many
)
yet
he
seeth
but
the
thinges
that
are
done
in
his
owne
time
,
but
the
learned
man
seeth
not
onely
his
owne
age
and
experience
,
but
whatsoeuer
hath
beene
done
many
hundred
yeares
past
,
yea
since
the
first
Writer
tooke
penne
in
hand
:
and
therefore
aswell
amongst
Souldiers
,
as
amongst
all
other
professions
,
the
vnlearned
must
giue
place
to
the
learned
,
for
no
memorie
can
compare
with
writing
.
And
as
amongst
the
vnlearned
,
he
that
hath
liued
fourescore
yeares
,
must
haue
more
experience
,
then
hee
that
hath
liued
but
forty
:
so
hee
that
seeth
by
bookes
the
accidents
of
a
thousand
yeares
,
knoweth
more
then
hee
that
by
liuing
a
hundred
yeares
is
able
to
attaine
vnto
.
I
might
inferre
examples
of
excellent
Captaines
of
old
time
,
which
all
enioyed
the
ornament
of
letters
,
with
the
prowes
of
Armes
.
It
is
well
knowne
that
Alexander
had
Homer
in
such
reuerent
estimation
,
that
hee
laid
his
Iliades
alwayes
vnder
his
beds
head
;
and
hee
applyed
diligently
not
those
studies
onely
,
but
also
the
speculation
of
philosophy
,
vnder
the
discipline
of
Aristotle
.
Alcibiades
in
like
manner
increased
his
vnderstanding
,
aswel
by
letters
,
as
with
the
instructions
of
Socrates
.
What
diligence
Caesar
vsed
in
study
,
his
owne
writinges
doe
sufficiently
make
manifest
.
Scipto
Affricanus
would
not
goe
without
the
bookes
of
Xenophon
.
I
might
further
speake
of
Lucullus
,
Scilla
,
Pompeius
,
Brutus
,
and
of
many
other
both
Romaines
and
Gretians
,
that
were
famous
Souldiers
and
great
Philosophers
,
&
how
conuersant
a
matter
it
hath
been
in
times
past
for
Arts
&
Arms
to
march
together
in
one
ranke
.
This
might
suffice
to
proue
that
the
dignity
of
the
soldier
is
not
bestowed
vpon
him
gratis
,
or
(
as
it
were
)
without
desert
;
but
that
it
appertaineth
vnto
him
by
property
and
right
,
and
but
according
to
his
owne
merite
;
then
who
is
more
fit
to
manage
the
affaires
of
peace
,
as
hee
that
hath
an
able
iudgement
to
know
what
is
fit
both
for
peace
and
warre
.
But
it
hath
beene
a
former
question
,
&
disputation
hath
beene
had
many
yeares
sithens
,
what
profession
might
be
thought
to
be
most
worthy
;
and
sundry
men
haue
hereupon
giuen
their
seuerall
censures
.
King
Oridanias
was
wont
to
say
to
the
Cicilians
,
that
to
the
sacrificing
Priestes
of
the
Temple
,
most
honour
was
due
;
whereby
it
may
appeare
,
that
the
religious
from
the
beginning
were
had
in
reuerent
estimation
:
&
it
was
not
giuen
them
without
some
consideration
,
for
as
it
is
recorded
,
the
Priestes
of
Diana
were
limited
to
their
seuerall
seasons
,
the
first
wherein
they
might
learn
wisedom
,
the
second
,
wherein
to
exercise
it
them selues
,
and
the
third
,
to
instruct
others
▪
Brias
king
of
Argiues
,
gaue
most
honor
to
the
Philosophers
that
read
in
schooles
.
Numa
Pompilius
amongst
the
Romains
,
was
of
opinion
,
that
he
was
worthy
of
most
reputation
,
to
whom
had
happened
the
victory
of
any
famous
battel
and
that
was
fortunate
in
warre
.
But
Anaxarchus
the
Philosopher
,
ordained
amongst
the
Phenitians
,
that
in
a
common
wealth
,
such
shoulde
be
especially
honoured
,
who
in
the
time
of
peace
entertained
the
state
in
tranquility
;
and
in
the
fury
of
war
,
was
found
to
bee
a
valiant
protector
of
the
limites
and
liberties
of
his
country
,
concurring
with
that
of
Tully
,
who
likewise
preferreth
to
the
highest
degree
of
honour
;
those
,
who
armed
doe
make
warre
,
and
robbed
,
do
rule
and
gouerne
the
common
wealth
:
but
because
this
little
pause
of
peace
,
hath
euen
almostlulde
vs
in
that
security
,
that
now
the
souldier
hath
hanged
vp
his
armor
a
rusting
by
the
wals
,
they
would
likewise
hang
himselfe
a
rusting
with
his
Armes
,
I
thinke
it
not
amisse
therefore
to
giue
him
a
litle
furbushing
,
though
not
to
cast
him
into
any
counterfeit
colour
,
or
so
to
vernish
or
gild
him
,
wherby
to
make
him
more
bright
by
Art
then
he
is
of
himselfe
by
Nature
:
a
litle
therefore
to
rub
out
the
canker
,
that
time
hath
already
begun
for
to
eate
,
I
will
make
him
as
well
as
I
can
,
to
glister
and
shine
in
his
own
vertue
.
Warre
is
a
minister
of
Gods
iustice
for
sinne
,
God
is
not
the
author
of
ill
,
but
the
chasticer
of
abuse
;
he
ordereth
the
will
of
Princes
to
punish
or
reuenge
:
the
Souldiers
as
obedient
Subiectes
,
are
the
Minister
to
performe
:
if
power
were
not
to
maintaine
Princes
proceedinges
,
the
Prince
might
sometimes
bee
dispossest
of
his
Estate
;
cruell
handes
woulde
bee
layed
on
the
Ministery
,
yea
,
the
Lawyers
woulde
bee
pulde
from
the
Barre
,
and
the
Iudge
pluckt
downe
from
the
place
of
Iustice
;
so
that
in
peace
the
name
of
a
Souldier
restreyneth
the
rebellions
,
and
in
warre
,
maketh
subiect
the
proudest
resister
.
The
Souldier
referreth
himselfe
to
the
will
of
the
prince
,
the
prince
is
not
disposed
but
by
the
direction
of
God
,
who
since
hee
is
the
gouernour
of
euery
action
,
I
dare
auow
they
are
not
vicious
.
It
may
be
obiected
,
that
in
the
proud
attemptes
of
Princes
,
the
Souldier
is
still
present
,
not
respecting
the
cause
so
much
as
his
owne
profite
.
This
were
a
hard
position
to
bee
obiected
against
Lawyers
,
but
the
Souldier
being
a
subiect
,
is
tied
to
follow
his
Prince
:
but
in
iniurious
enterprises
,
I
know
there
are
Souldiers
,
that
are
as
contrary
to
the
warre
as
he
that
is
most
ready
to
reprehend
:
who
by
proofe
and
not
by
gesse
,
do
conclude
of
the
euent
of
the
battel
when
the
cause
proceedeth
from
a
wrongfull
ground
.
But
let
vs
speake
of
Souldiers
in
their
minorities
,
when
they
first
become
to
bee
apprentises
to
Armes
.
In
the
choice
of
a
Souldier
,
wee
do
not
onely
regard
the
ability
of
his
body
,
but
the
quality
of
his
minde
:
for
if
religion
,
circumspection
,
preuention
,
counsell
,
experience
,
zeale
,
fidelity
,
resolution
,
continency
and
care
,
be
not
in
him
that
should
enter
the
profession
,
the
charge
is
ill
lookt
into
;
neither
is
such
a
one
to
bee
admitted
,
that
is
not
thus
accomplisht
:
then
if
a
Soldier
of
iudgement
be
had
,
when
he
is
imployed
,
how
liues
he
in
the
field
?
first
,
in
the
feare
of
God
,
not
assured
of
his
life
from
one
houre
to
another
,
surely
tied
to
al
vertuous
actions
,
abstinent
in
diet
,
diligent
to
please
,
carefull
to
correct
,
dutifull
to
obey
,
tired
with
trauell
,
handes
,
feet
,
legges
,
thoughts
and
all
,
toyled
,
occupied
,
and
employed
,
so
that
neither
leisure
serues
him
to
be
idle
,
nor
the
seuerity
of
his
Captaine
admits
him
to
runne
astray
:
such
Souldiers
should
be
,
and
thus
they
ought
to
be
employed
,
and
if
there
were
not
some
such
,
the
name
and
title
were
hardly
bestead
.
For
those
imputations
wherewith
Souldiers
are
charged
,
to
be
rash
,
rebellious
,
cruell
,
mutinous
,
incontinent
&c.
they
are
but
scandals
malitiously
imposed
:
for
first
,
if
they
were
rash
,
their
successe
would
be
more
infortunate
,
then
commonly
it
falleth
out
.
If
rebellious
,
and
not
to
bee
gouerned
,
without
doubt
,
Alexander
had
not
conquered
so
many
countries
,
subdued
so
many
kingdomes
,
and
ouercome
so
many
nations
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
but
with
a
handfull
of
his
Macedonians
and
Cretians
.
If
bloudy
minded
,
why
then
spared
Caesar
those
Senators
,
&
citizens
of
Rome
,
when
both
by
their
own
hand
▪
writing
and
often
attempts
,
hee
well
knew
to
be
the
followers
of
Pompei
,
and
his
capitall
enemies
.
If
murtherous
,
how
often
might
the
Venetian
Armies
haue
worthily
spoiled
the
whole
Iland
of
Create
,
which
not
onely
had
murthered
many
of
their
families
with
the
sword
,
but
also
rebelled
against
them
fiue
or
sixe
seuerall
times
.
Ifincontinent
,
what
caused
Scipio
to
redeliuer
that
noble
young
Virgin
,
who
for
her
passing
beauty
,
and
great
admiration
of
person
,
was
presented
vnto
him
as
a
rare
gift
;
Scipio
himselfe
amased
at
the
sight
,
would
yet
deliuer
her
to
Luceias
,
to
whome
shee
was
espoused
,
and
gaue
him
also
for
a
dowrie
,
the
gold
that
her
parents
had
brought
to
redeeme
her
.
If
couctous
,
how
fell
it
out
,
that
after
L.
Mumius
had
taken
Corinth
,
and
adorned
all
Italy
with
the
riches
of
that
spoile
,
he
kept
so
little
to
his
own
vse
,
that
the
Senate
was
faine
for
very
need
,
to
giue
dowry
to
his
daughter
of
the
common
treasure
.
But
because
Rome
hath
beene
especially
famed
,
let
vs
see
from
whence
shee
attained
to
her
greatnes
,
we
shall
find
that
the
Souldier
was
he
that
defended
the
estate
,
the
Souldier
was
hee
that
made
Rome
notable
:
yea
,
the
Souldier
was
he
that
had
the
creation
of
the
Emperour
.
When
the
souldier
had
this
sway
,
peace
was
as
plentifull
at
Rome
as
after
it
was
,
the
reuenews
of
Rome
greater
then
now
they
be
,
the
abhomination
of
Rome
lesse
then
now
it
is
:
In
the
time
of
the
souldiers
gouernment
,
Rome
was
renowned
for
her
iustice
,
and
was
reputed
to
bee
the
mistris
of
the
world
:
now
the
rule
is
in
the
hand
of
a
counterfeit
priest
,
Rome
is
insamed
for
her
idolatry
,
and
is
accounted
the
scorne
of
the
world
:
In
the
dayes
of
Traian
,
other
countries
sought
their
lawes
from
Rome
,
now
in
the
dayes
of
the
Vicar
of
Christ
,
Rome
is
accounted
lawles
of
all
the
world
.
In
the
losse
of
a
souldier
,
how
mourned
Iulius
Caesar
?
whome
not
onely
he
dignified
with
great
honors
being
aliue
,
but
also
buried
with
bitter
teares
being
dead
.
Pompei
the
great
builded
the
city
of
Nicopolis
to
no
other
end
but
to
harbour
souldiers
.
Alexander
the
Romaine
,
would
seldome
giue
giftes
vnles
it
were
to
souldiers
,
affirming
it
to
be
vnlawfull
for
him
that
was
high
steward
of
the
common
wealth
to
conuert
those
reuenewes
which
the
Prouinces
did
contribute
,
eyther
to
his
owne
spottes
and
pleasures
,
eyther
yet
to
spend
and
consume
them
amongst
his
friendes
and
fauourites
.
Yea
,
the
most
notable
Emperours
,
that
euer
yet
were
heard
on
,
hath
accounted
of
a
Souldier
as
of
his
familiar
,
calling
him
his
companion
,
and
fellow
in
Armes
.
Now
I
haue
heard
of
them
,
that
haue
been
learned
in
the
lawes
,
and
some
others
likewise
that
haue
beene
famous
Orators
,
that
haue
been
entertained
by
Princes
,
but
neuer
reputed
to
be
their
fellowes
,
yet
many
times
accounted
to
be
their
flatterers
,
to
sooth
them
vp
in
their
pleasurs
,
and
to
follow
and
vphold
them
in
their
idle
humors
.
Perhaps
,
for
the
maintenance
of
a
good
Plea
,
a
lawyer
may
get
a
little
popular
praise
;
but
the
souldier
,
for
subduing
an
enemy
to
Rome
,
had
the
honor
of
a
Triumph
.
I
might
here
enlarge
a
great
deale
of
other
matter
fitting
to
my
purpose
:
but
will
you
heare
what
testimony
the
holy
Scriptures
will
affoorde
vs
in
the
commendation
of
Souldiers
?
in
the
3.
of
Luke
,
amongst
a
number
of
all
sorts
of
people
that
came
to
Iohn
Baptist
,
aswell
to
heare
him
preach
,
as
also
to
bee
baptised
,
the
soldiers
were
not
behind
,
but
stired
vp
with
the
like
godly
zeale
,
they
came
amonst
the
rest
,
desirous
to
bee
instructed
in
the
way
of
their
saluation
,
and
as
the
other
had
done
before
them
,
they
demaunded
of
Iohn
what
they
might
do
to
inherite
heauen
;
the
Prophet
rendring
no
rough
reply
,
mildly
said
vnto
them
,
Doc
no
violence
,
but
be
content
with
your
pay
.
If
I
shold
a
litle
paraphrase
of
this
Text
I
might
easily
make
it
appeare
,
that
souldiers
are
not
so
puffed
vp
with
desire
of
a
little
transitory
glory
,
that
they
neglect
the
glory
that
shall
endure
world
without
end
.
The
Captaine
againe
,
that
sent
vnto
Iesus
aboute
helping
of
his
sicke
seruant
,
as
our
Sauiour
was
comming
towards
his
house
,
hee
was
encountred
by
a
second
messenger
,
acknowledging
himselfe
vnworthy
to
receiue
him
vnder
his
roofe
,
beseeching
him
but
only
to
speake
the
word
,
and
he
knew
his
seruant
should
be
safe
,
whereat
our
Lord
himselfe
wondred
,
and
turning
him
to
those
that
followed
,
he
said
,
I
haue
not
found
so
great
faith
,
no
,
not
in
Israel
.
There
is
yet
mention
made
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
of
Cornelius
a
Captaine
,
a
deuout
man
,
&
one
that
feared
God
,
with
all
his
houshold
,
to
whom
an
Angell
appearing
,
willed
him
to
send
to
Ioppa
for
Simon
Peter
,
who
should
instruct
him
,
and
baptise
him
in
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
;
and
the
Captaine
called
vnto
him
a
deuout
Souldier
(
for
those
be
the
wordes
of
the
Text
)
whome
he
sent
with
others
,
about
this
message
.
This
Testimony
we
haue
in
the
new
Testament
of
Souldiers
that
were
godly
enclined
:
but
I
doe
not
finde
mention
made
of
any
Lawyer
,
but
of
those
that
came
amongst
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
that
sought
still
to
tempt
and
crucifie
Christ
,
against
whome
our
Sauiour
himselfe
,
pronounced
,
Woe
be
to
you
Lawyers
,
for
you
loade
men
with
beaute
burdens
to
be
borne
:
but
you
your selues
will
not
touch
them
with
your
little
fingers
.
I
haue
trauelled
a
large
circuit
,
and
by
what
is
already
past
,
it
might
well
inough
appeare
,
that
he
is
most
beneficiall
to
his
Country
,
whose
body
executeth
what
his
wisedome
plotteth
,
I
might
yet
holde
on
a
larger
iourney
,
but
I
thinke
it
needles
,
and
therefore
I
meane
to
weary
my selfe
no
further
.
But
I
cannot
see
what
the
Lawyer
can
challenge
of
his
country
,
the
lawyer
(
I
meane
)
that
makes
his
plea
but
for
his
priuate
profite
,
whole
onely
contemplation
hath
but
regard
to
his
owne
cofers
.
In
the
beginning
,
when
Iustinians
Radices
were
not
knowne
,
but
the
law
of
the
Tables
were
taught
,
then
the
law
was
not
in
the
ciuill
magistrate
to
dispose
,
but
the
Priest
had
it
to
propound
:
that
law
was
deliuered
by
succession
,
and
confirmed
by
the
presence
of
the
Law-giuer
:
and
whilst
that
law
was
continued
,
Israel
was
partaker
of
the
promise
;
the
Heathen
fell
before
them
,
for
the
Lord
of
hostes
was
amongst
them
,
but
in
continuance
of
time
,
as
sinne
and
corruption
began
to
encrease
,
the
lawes
likewise
began
to
multiply
:
for
it
is
offence
that
begetteth
lawes
,
and
from
the
wickednes
of
men
,
it
is
that
good
laws
do
proceed
.
Dionisius
of
Siracusa
(
though
otherwise
a
tyrant
)
yet
hee
made
a
Law
,
that
those
that
excessiuely
gaue
them selues
to
banqueting
,
should
bee
punished
with
great
asperity
:
Licurgus
made
a
Law
against
drunkennes
,
Augustus
Caesar
against
pompious
buildings
,
the
Lucanes
against
prodigality
,
the
Lacedemonians
against
excesse
in
apparrell
,
the
Egyptians
against
whoredome
&
adultery
,
the
Thebians
,
against
negligent
parents
,
that
brought
vp
their
children
in
idlenes
and
insolencie
,
the
Romaines
against
those
maisters
,
that
were
too
seuere
and
cruell
to
their
seruants
;
and
there
was
a
Law
established
in
Rome
,
called
Iulia
,
the
tenor
wherof
was
,
that
no
man
should
be
so
hardy
to
shut
vp
his
dores
,
whilst
they
were
at
dinner
,
that
the
officers
of
the
City
might
haue
the
more
easie
accesse
to
see
if
their
ordinary
did
not
exeede
their
ability
.
I
might
speake
of
the
lawes
of
Draco
,
of
those
that
were
made
by
Numa
Pompilius
,
and
of
infinite
numbers
beside
that
were
made
by
seuerall
men
at
sondrie
times
,
and
for
diuers
purposes
,
so
that
law
is
but
leue
▪
led
by
direction
,
administred
by
appointment
,
and
stil
referred
to
reformation
.
This
Canon
may
be
anihilated
by
this
learned
Doctor
,
that
distinction
frustrated
by
that
Expositor
,
and
what
not
turned
Topsieturuy
,
to
serue
the
season
for
the
Lawyers
commodity
.
There
is
no
agreement
amongst
themselus
,
for
what
they
confirm
to
day
,
to
morrow
they
disauow
;
looke
into
their
own
Canons
,
consider
of
the
first
institution
of
their
laws
politique
,
positiue
,
and
prouinciall
,
and
there
will
be
found
so
many
corrections
,
so
many
frustrations
,
so
many
anticipations
,
so
many
cauteles
,
and
such
seuerall
expositions
,
as
the
studient
had
need
euery
day
of
a
new
memory
,
to
consider
of
his
newe
coated
clause
.
With
this
multiplicity
of
laws
,
there
is
likewise
crept
in
such
a
superaboundance
of
Lawyers
,
that
by
wresting
and
corrupting
of
the
lawes
,
doe
maintaine
themselues
,
their
wiues
and
their
family
,
in
presumption
and
pride
.
These
bee
they
that
with
Protulus
the
sonne
of
Nerua
,
by
their
iniurious
cauillations
,
wil
destroy
the
cause
of
Otho
their
familiar
friend
,
and
will
not
let
wickedly
to
betray
him
to
Vitelius
for
a
little
gaine
.
These
be
they
that
with
Christopher
of
Castill
,
haue
bound
themselues
apprentises
to
variety
,
and
with
Eneius
Popilius
,
will
know
nothing
without
a
golden
Fee
.
These
be
they
that
with
Baldus
Perusinas
,
are
aswell
hated
for
their
inconstancy
,
as
honoured
for
their
learning
,
and
with
Saturius
(
that
was
neuer
heard
to
deliuer
a
profitable
sentence
in
Law
)
doth
yet
vphold
their
ambition
by
the
scrapinges
of
the
law
.
These
be
they
that
with
Hortensius
pleade
hard
for
Verres
,
for
the
fee
of
a
siluer
Spinx
,
and
with
Augilius
Rats
wil
nonsute
his
Clients
cause
,
if
he
denay
him
but
to
change
a
peece
of
base
mony
.
These
be
they
,
by
whose
corruptions
,
the
lawes
are
made
but
Traps
and
Traines
,
where
by
both
rich
and
poore
are
caught
and
spoiled
,
and
how
many
Athenian
Orators
haue
we
,
that
wil
counterfeit
the
Squinancy
for
a
litle
gaine
,
and
yet
are
to
open
mouthed
against
the
poore
mans
processe
,
that
will
make
their
plea
,
but
according
to
the
peny
,
that
will
come
delayes
from
Tearme
to
Tearme
,
from
time
to
time
,
from
yeare
to
yeare
,
that
haue
so
many
shifts
,
and
are
so
ful
of
collusion
,
that
I
protest
,
I
doe
not
know
any
thing
wherein
wee
stand
in
greater
need
,
then
of
prouident
and
godly
lawes
,
whereby
to
curbe
and
restrain
the
corruptions
of
the
greatest
number
of
our
Lawyers
,
but
especially
from
the
detestable
exactions
of
those
that
bee
Clarkes
and
vnder
officers
,
that
are
cryed
out
vpon
by
poore
sutors
,
for
their
extorting
&
taking
of
vnreasonable
fees
.
But
as
I
haue
heard
there
hath
beene
some
reformation
of
these
things
in
England
,
and
I
hope
there
will
be
the
like
had
in
Ireland
,
where
this
extorting
by
Clarks
,
is
in
such
vse
and
custome
,
that
some
of
the
discreet
ludges
themselues
,
haue
found
faulte
at
it
,
and
I
my selfe
haue
heard
no
worse
man
then
the
Kinges
Atturney
Generall
of
that
realm
that
did
both
nor
Iudge
to
dete
mine
it
,
in
such
a
case
(
by
the
lawes
of
all
nations
,
the
triall
is
still
referred
to
the
lawes
of
Armes
,
from
a
Company
of
wrangling
Aduocates
,
that
with
their
sophistications
doe
hunt
after
continual
darknes
,
to
the
honourable
prescriptions
set
down
by
Souldiers
,
that
to
discouer
falshood
,
to
bring
hidden
practises
to
open
light
,
to
make
their
trials
by
way
of
Combat
,
presupposing
that
God
,
who
onely
knoweth
the
secrets
of
all
things
,
will
giue
victory
to
him
that
aduentureth
his
life
for
iustice
and
right
.
This
supposition
is
not
vainely
grounded
,
for
histories
are
full
of
examples
:
how
many
vngratious
and
vngodly
practises
haue
beene
discouered
and
laide
open
,
and
of
many
other
trials
that
haue
beene
made
by
those
honourable
incounters
of
Combat
,
&
somtimes
determined
by
Martiall
court
?
But
the
Souldiers
confidence
is
not
to
be
forgotten
,
who
referring
the
equity
of
his
cause
to
the
righteous
iudgement
of
God
,
doe
neither
seeke
for
loue
,
nor
for
fauour
,
nor
for
gaine
,
neither
arethey
drawne
by
any
manner
of
corruption
,
to
obscure
matters
,
to
darken
them
,
or
to
shut
them
vp
in
a
golden
cloude
:
or
after
three
or
foure
yeares
continuance
in
sute
,
to
make
them
more
intricate
then
they
were
the
very
first
day
they
were
commenced
.
No
,
the
martiall
law
is
of
a
more
speedy
dispatch
,
it
seeketh
no
corners
,
it
neither
vpholdeth
wrong
,
nor
suppresseth
right
:
I
may
therefore
conclude
with
a
good
conscience
,
that
if
there
be
not
some
difference
in
the
lawes
themselues
,
yet
in
the
administration
there
is
a
great
inequality
.
I
would
not
wish
you
to
belecuc
for
all
this
,
that
I
would
haue
all
sutes
,
all
quarrels
,
and
all
manner
of
controuersies
to
be
tried
by
martiall
law
:
doe
you
aske
me
,
how
I
would
then
haue
them
ended
?
I
protest
I
will
tell
you
what
I
would
doe
my selfe
in
such
a
case
;
I
would
walke
Powles
till
I
were
weary
,
but
I
woulde
meet
with
him
that
wold
say
,
had
don
him
wrong
,
or
betweene
whome
and
my selfe
,
there
were
like
to
arise
any
cause
of
contention
or
sute
in
law
;
and
hauing
once
found
him
,
he
should
be
very
hard
hearted
,
but
I
would
intice
him
to
a
Tauerne
,
where
calling
for
a
potle
of
wine
,
and
placing
it
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
Table
,
I
would
make
it
an
arbitrator
between
vs
for
that
time
,
and
I
would
likewise
draw
in
some
other
of
our
friendes
and
acquaintance
,
that
if
the
wine
shoulde
be
too
hote
or
too
furious
in
his
execution
,
they
should
moderate
and
qualifie
his
rigour
with
some
indifferency
:
you
know
my
meaning
,
if
it
were
a
matter
of
a
thousand
pounds
weight
,
I
had
rather
abide
a
triall
amonst
neighbours
and
friendes
,
(
that
might
make
a
quicke
dispatch
)
and
a
quiet
end
,
then
to
follow
a
sute
at
Westminster
Hall
,
that
will
scarse
be
finished
in
an
age
,
especially
,
if
the
matter
bee
doubtfull
or
intricate
.
To
conclude
,
I
would
not
wish
a
wise
man
to
goe
to
Law
at
all
,
if
it
were
possible
;
marry
,
if
there
bee
no
remedy
,
arme
your selfe
with
patience
,
and
store
your
purse
with
crownes
;
for
be
sure
,
you
shall
haue
occasion
to
vse
both
the
one
and
the
other
:
for
the
Lawyer
and
the
Vintner
too
,
are
very
costly
if
they
bee
well
followed
,
and
they
do
both
of
them
make
their
greatest
gainby
selling
of
the
Elements
,
for
the
one
sels
water
,
and
the
other
sels
wind
;
but
caueat
Emptor
,
for
he
that
sels
wine
,
though
it
be
but
by
the
pint
,
wil
game
more
at
the
yeares
end
,
then
hee
that
buyes
it
by
the
pottle
:
but
he
that
liues
by
venting
of
law
,
woe
be
to
the
buyer
,
for
they
retaile
such
rotten
stuffe
,
they
will
make
you
pay
for
the
very
dregs
&
drosse
of
their
law
;
they
sell
the
very
parings
,
the
scraping
,
and
the
of●courings
of
the
law
at
vnreasonable
rates
:
you
shall
pay
for
euery
leafe
,
for
euery
line
,
for
euery
word
,
for
euery
sillable
,
for
euery
scrape
,
for
euery
dash
with
a
penne
,
for
euery
drop
of
inke
;
you
shall
pay
for
their
toying
,
for
their
trifling
,
for
their
delaying
,
sometimes
for
their
lying
;
you
must
attend
at
their
chambers
,
you
must
wait
for
them
at
their
study
dores
,
you
must
bee
sure
to
haue
their
fees
in
readines
,
for
he
that
wants
mony
amongst
Lawyers
,
is
like
a
flower
in
the
Frost
,
nipt
in
one
night
,
and
withered
the
next
day
.
Cato
seeing
the
inconuenience
that
grew
in
the
common
wealth
by
the
prouocation
of
Lawyers
,
that
animated
and
maintained
dishonest
sutes
&
quarrels
amongst
neighbors
and
friends
;
wished
that
the
courts
of
Pleas
might
be
set
with
trappes
and
ingines
,
to
catch
and
insnarle
the
professors
of
that
study
of
law
:
and
Fardinando
sending
a
vyz-Roy
into
the
Indies
then
newly
discouered
,
he
forbad
him
to
carry
any
Lawyers
with
him
,
to
the
end
they
might
not
sow
the
seedes
of
sutes
.
I
hope
I
shall
not
be
mistaken
(
by
those
that
are
wise
)
nor
my
wordes
construed
to
the
worst
meaning
(
by
those
that
are
honest
)
for
I
am
not
ignorant
of
manie
worthie
Gentlemen
that
are
professors
of
the
law
,
and
I
thinke
both
the
study
and
administration
of
law
,
to
be
most
befitting
and
behouefull
for
Gentlemen
:
for
what
are
they
but
this
base
borne
broode
,
that
creeping
into
the
Innes
of
Court
,
and
hauing
a
little
scraped
together
a
few
fragments
&
scrapings
of
the
law
,
because
they
would
not
mend
shoos
,
foot
stockinges
,
driue
the
cart
,
and
do
as
their
fathers
did
before
them
;
they
neither
care
what
lawes
they
peruert
,
nor
what
Clients
they
consume
;
these
be
they
against
whome
I
haue
all
this
while
whetted
my
penne
;
with
others
I
haue
not
had
to
deale
.
For
the
graue
and
reuerent
Iudges
,
Fathers
and
Founders
of
the
Law
,
my
penne
hath
not
touched
,
no
,
far
be
it
from
me
to
thinke
an
euill
thought
,
much
lesse
to
detect
them
.
There
be
many
other
Gentlemen
,
both
of
name
and
bloud
that
I
know
are
not
to
be
detected
;
amongst
the
which
,
some
I
loue
for
their
honesty
,
some
I
reuerence
for
their
quality
,
and
some
I
honour
for
their
excellency
many
wayes
expressed
,
but
especially
in
their
liues
:
amongst
the
rest
that
are
now
remainant
in
the
realme
of
Ireland
,
one
that
hath
made
himselfe
more
famous
then
the
rest
,
and
therefore
aboue
the
rest
in
that
Region
most
worthy
so
to
be
famed
.
I
need
not
blaze
his
name
,
for
he
that
hath
but
learned
to
know
himselfe
,
hath
heard
of
him
.
I
might
say
more
but
I
need
not
,
for
he
hath
said
more
for
himselfe
then
I
am
able
to
say
.
For
a
full
conclusion
of
this
,
I
protest
,
that
I
doe
not
know
any
man
in
England
,
a
professor
of
the
law
,
either
one
or
other
that
I
do
malice
;
there
be
a
number
that
I
do
loue
,
and
I
loue
them
for
their
owne
vertue
and
worthines
:
neyther
can
I
speake
any
ill
of
any
one
particular
person
amongst
them
of
mine
owne
experience
;
neither
haue
I
heard
the
abuses
of
these
petty-fogging
fellowes
more
bitterly
reprehended
,
then
I
haue
heard
amongst
Lawyers
themselues
that
are
of
the
most
worthiest
sorte
,
and
best
learned
in
the
lawes
.
And
now
to
returne
to
the
subiect
that
I
haue
taken
in
hand
,
I
say
it
is
the
best
gentrie
that
is
attayned
by
Armes
or
by
learning
,
but
best
of
all
by
both
,
and
hee
doth
hardly
deserue
the
title
of
a
Gentleman
,
that
is
not
aduanced
by
one
or
both
;
they
are
farre
deceiued
to
thinke
,
that
a
little
wealth
,
or
a
bare
office
,
may
make
a
man
worthy
of
estimation
,
that
is
not
attained
vnto
by
desert
,
or
accomplished
by
vertue
:
to
gaine
a
reputation
,
to
bee
accounted
wise
or
vertuous
,
many
wise
and
vertuous
acts
are
required
;
but
for
a
man
to
make
himselfe
to
bee
esteemed
for
a
foole
,
one
foolish
act
sufficeth
:
and
therefore
a
man
had
neede
to
take
heede
how
hee
marries
a
wife
,
that
is
of
the
flanting
humour
.
Some
do
think
to
aspite
to
gentility
by
their
welth
,
but
that
were
a
base
foundation
,
for
riches
are
most
commonly
heaped
together
by
corruptions
,
by
extortions
by
exactions
,
by
oppressions
,
and
by
many
other
like
,
seruile
functions
.
And
a
man
would
laugh
to
heare
some
of
these
Hogelings
(
if
they
bee
in
company
)
what
they
will
attribute
to
themselues
,
you
shall
see
a
fellow
that
was
but
lately
digde
out
of
a
dung
hill
,
whose
wit
and
honesty
both
,
doth
onely
consist
but
in
compassing
of
crownes
;
that
will
take
more
state
vppon
him
,
then
hee
that
is
able
to
manage
a
princes
Army
in
the
field
.
Some
others
doe
thinke
,
that
the
greatest
grace
of
gentility
doth
consist
in
gawdy
showes
,
in
foolish
fashions
,
and
to
be
like
Protenus
the
God
of
shapes
.
Some
their
greatest
vertue
is
,
to
poure
it
in
,
and
to
put
it
out
againe
:
some
doe
thinke
to
bee
registred
in
the
Heraldes
bookes
,
for
wearing
hayre
of
the
new
cut
,
one
will
haue
it
short
,
another
will
haue
it
long
,
an
other
will
haue
his
loue
locke
,
or
his
lady
locke
,
(
or
call
it
what
you
will
)
that
shall
hang
dangling
by
his
eare
,
an
excellent
place
of
Ambuscado
,
to
sheltre
Nits
&
Lice
.
There
be
some
▪
that
in
their
actions
do
affect
honour
,
who
in
their
ambition
will
protest
of
great
wonders
,
and
what
they
would
bring
to
passe
,
if
they
had
beene
borne
mighty
,
which
sort
of
men
are
commonly
much
talked
of
,
but
little
cared
for
,
when
honour
doth
best
show
her selfe
in
him
,
that
doth
rather
seeke
merite
;
then
hunt
after
fame
;
yet
I
haue
knowne
of
some
of
these
aspiring
potentates
,
that
were
ashamed
to
confesse
their
own
parentage
,
but
would
challenge
their
alliance
from
some
Lord
,
or
from
some
knight
,
like
the
Mule
that
being
demanded
of
his
birth
,
being
ashamed
to
confesse
that
hee
was
the
sonne
of
an
Asse
;
answered
that
he
was
cosen
Germaine
to
a
Horse
.
In
euery
wel
gouerned
common
wealth
,
men
of
learning
,
vertue
&
honesty
are
aduanced
and
preferred
,
for
dignity
in
an
vnworthy
person
,
is
like
a
precious
stone
,
that
is
set
in
base
mettell
,
or
like
a
rusty
rapier
in
a
veluet
scaberd
:
but
opinion
is
a
perilous
fellow
,
and
I
thinke
there
is
not
a
more
cosening
thing
in
the
world
,
for
it
deceyueth
Kings
,
Princes
,
Dukes
,
Earles
,
Lords
,
and
what
is
he
that
is
not
ouer
reached
by
opinion
?
It
draweth
most
to
great
fortunes
,
and
it
is
bred
and
fostered
by
the
breath
of
the
vulgar
.
It
preferreth
men
to
dignities
,
to
offices
&
places
of
authority
aswell
in
the
time
of
peace
,
as
in
the
time
of
warre
,
for
where
opinion
beareth
sway
,
shee
rules
like
a
God
,
she
makes
fooles
to
bee
reputed
wise
,
cowards
to
be
called
couragious
,
and
silly
ignorant
men
to
be
admired
for
iudgement
and
skill
.
Opinion
is
a
burre
that
still
cleaueth
to
the
mighty
,
and
it
is
more
nice
&
foolish
to
please
,
then
iudgement
.
Opinion
is
the
mother
of
hypocrisie
,
it
is
blind
,
it
is
lame
,
it
is
selfe
conceited
,
and
it
hath
preuailed
so
farre
that
we
want
but
another
Erasmus
to
deifie
Opinion
,
as
one
hath
already
writ
in
the
prayse
of
Folly
.
Opinion
is
most
smoothed
by
those
that
doe
affect
and
hunt
after
it
themselues
,
and
that
is
commonly
by
men
of
the
basest
condition
,
by
such
as
doe
thirst
after
promotion
,
as
tale
bearers
,
newes
carriers
,
and
such
other
;
and
some
too
thinke
to
creepe
into
the
very
guts
of
Opinion
,
with
drinking
a
health
;
some
to
winne
Opinion
,
are
excellent
in
discourse
at
a
table
,
they
will
talke
of
their
owne
actiuity
,
how
many
fraies
they
made
in
Fleetstreet
,
what
Ladies
and
Gentlewomen
came
to
visite
them
when
they
lay
sicke
of
the
tooth-ach
,
and
they
will
sometimes
vaunt
of
a
fauour
from
their
mistres
,
that
were
scorned
by
the
maide
:
and
bar
them
from
this
or
other
like
talke
,
and
they
are
as
vtterly
vnfurnisht
as
a
chimnies
end
in
a
countrie
house
without
a
pudding
,
or
a
peece
of
bacon
.
I
haue
seene
some
of
these
fellowes
that
are
of
the
ietting
behauiour
,
that
do
thinke
to
reach
at
opinion
by
complements
and
quaint
deuises
,
that
will
dispute
of
intricate
matters
,
that
professe
to
bee
seene
in
all
faculties
,
that
will
speake
by
distinct
spaces
,
and
will
refute
all
men
by
innouation
of
Method
,
that
can
sometimes
speake
well
,
and
alwayes
liue
ill
.
He
that
swaggereth
and
sweareth
,
and
speaketh
not
a
word
,
but
it
is
full
of
terrour
,
that
threatneth
the
stabbe
or
some
other
deadly
blowe
,
that
is
able
to
dismember
a
man
with
the
verie
breath
of
his
displeasure
,
that
can
shake
him
all
to
tatters
,
but
vpon
the
point
of
his
tongue
,
that
is
as
fearefull
to
beholde
,
as
the
Gentleman
that
durst
not
looke
in
a
glasse
when
hee
was
angry
,
for
affrighting
himselfe
with
the
terror
of
his
owne
countenance
,
that
scorneth
to
cut
vppe
the
Goose-pie
,
that
scorneth
to
drinke
to
him
that
will
not
pledge
him
a
full
cuppe
,
that
scorneth
sometime
to
pay
his
debts
;
all
this
and
more
too
,
is
,
but
to
winne
opinion
,
and
so
from
thence
to
steppe
to
preferment
.
I
neuer
found
lesse
performance
in
deedes
,
then
in
some
of
these
prating
fellowes
,
that
are
so
ful
of
words
;
but
for
my
part
if
I
hit
into
their
company
,
when
I
heare
their
tongues
beginne
to
wagge
,
I
listen
to
their
talke
,
as
I
listen
to
a
Bagge-pipe
,
that
the
lowder
it
squeyles
,
the
more
abiect
I
hold
the
musicke
.
Now
for
this
insinuating
basenes
that
dooth
woo
preferment
,
as
if
she
were
a
wench
to
bee
wonne
with
presents
,
with
prayses
,
and
with
flattery
;
a
faire
worde
,
a
smiling
looke
,
or
a
flattering
show
,
were
recompence
good
inough
for
those
creatures
of
seruitude
.
For
mine
owne
part
,
I
haue
euer
scornd
to
purchase
reputation
,
or
to
seeke
aduancement
,
by
ducking
,
by
crowching
,
by
deiecting
and
prostrating
my selfe
at
mens
feet
,
to
submit
to
a
voluntary
professed
seruitude
,
to
daunce
attendance
,
sometimes
three
houres
by
the
clocke
,
and
then
to
bee
blest
with
a
Nod
,
commende
it
he
that
list
,
I
cannot
like
it
,
neither
do
I
loue
to
commit
the
idolatry
of
out
age
,
to
make
mortal
men
saints
,
to
worship
,
to
adore
,
to
creepe
,
to
crouch
,
&
to
make
offerings
:
if
any
of
these
interpreting
fellowes
will
say
,
I
stand
too
much
in
my
owne
conceite
,
&
therefore
(
perhaps
)
will
not
sticke
to
breake
a
iest
or
two
behind
my
backe
,
to
get
the
start
of
such
deprauers
(
&
a
litle
to
preuent
them
)
I
befoole
him
a
fore
hand
,
that
doth
thinke
me
so
simple
,
as
not
to
bee
able
to
distinguish
betweene
seruile
flattery
and
beseeming
curtesie
;
but
to
submit
my selfe
to
a
base
kinde
of
submission
,
to
begge
a
litle
preferment
:
let
them
winne
that
way
those
that
list
,
I
hold
the
gaine
to
be
more
abiect
and
base
,
then
Vespasians
gaine
gotten
by
vtine
:
But
of
all
fortunes
that
might
befall
mee
,
it
woulde
anger
me
to
the
heart
,
to
creepe
into
an
office
(
yea
,
if
it
were
into
Knighthood
it selfe
▪
)
more
for
my
wiues
sake
,
then
for
mine
own
worth
.
I
will
speake
no
more
of
my selfe
:
but
what
indirect
aspiring
is
this
,
that
to
attaine
to
a
little
title
of
dignity
,
we
shall
make
our selues
to
be
laughing
stocks
,
and
to
be
holden
contemptible
in
seeking
a
dignity
,
not
being
able
to
vphold
the
reputation
of
the
place
?
It
is
a
counterfeit
fashion
to
face
the
outside
with
a
litle
satten
,
or
some
other
like
stuffe
of
a
glorious
show
,
and
to
patch
and
peece
the
inside
with
tatters
&
rags
of
litle
worth
:
me
thinkes
there
bee
some
,
that
if
they
did
but
examine
and
looke
into
their
owne
dignities
,
they
should
bee
very
angry
,
because
they
should
find
them
to
looke
with
squint
eyes
,
wrie
mouthes
,
and
flearing
countenance
,
as
though
they
derided
&
mocked
at
their
masters
.
This
eye
beguiling
glory
deceiueth
none
but
fooles
and
it
is
like
the
Gloweworme
,
that
shineth
a
little
in
the
darke
,
but
in
the
light
of
the
day
,
wee
discerne
it
to
bee
but
a
paltry
worme
.
I
haue
hitherto
but
spoke
of
Gentlemen
,
that
do
not
know
their
owne
places
,
nor
many
times
how
to
martiall
themselues
but
with
disorder
,
iniuring
and
wronging
others
,
and
some
of
them
with
such
vnreasonable
presumption
as
might
turne
to
offence
,
and
so
to
a
quarrell
;
I
hold
it
not
vnnecessary
now
(
according
to
my
promise
)
to
say
something
of
Knightes
,
amongest
whom
(
if
there
be
not
some
mistaking
by
the
Heralds
)
there
is
some
inequality
and
difference
between
them
.
The
time
hath
been
,
when
the
Yeomandry
of
England
did
flourish
,
and
were
had
in
some
account
,
but
after
the
prouerbe
began
to
grow
in
custome
.
That
euery
lacke
would
be
a
Gentleman
,
our
Yeomandry
beganne
to
faint
,
and
euen
then
to
decay
,
and
now
our
Gentlemen
are
as
farre
out
of
date
,
and
this
second
prouerbe
approued
to
bee
in
full
strength
and
vertue
,
that
is
,
Eyther
a
Knight
or
a
knitter
of
Caps
:
for
wee
are
now
so
full
of
Knights
,
that
Gentlemen
are
had
in
little
request
:
the
order
of
knighthood
is
auncient
,
&
the
dignity
in
ages
past
,
hath
beene
accounted
honorable
,
neither
was
it
giuen
but
to
such
as
were
able
to
countenance
the
place
and
had
ability
(
both
of
wealth
and
wit
)
to
gratifie
their
country
,
to
benefite
the
common
wealth
,
yea
and
to
be
aiders
and
assistants
to
princes
in
all
their
affaires
,
eyther
in
the
time
of
peace
,
or
in
the
time
of
warre
.
Such
they
haue
beene
,
and
some
such
there
be
stil
,
but
amongst
them
there
be
as
vnworthy
,
as
the
others
are
worthy
,
and
here
is
the
difference
and
inequality
betweene
them
.
The
one
are
knowne
by
their
troupes
of
seruantes
,
that
are
attendant
and
waiting
vpon
them
;
the
other
are
knowne
by
a
poore
Page
or
Lackey
,
or
if
they
can
get
a
pild
fellow
or
two
in
a
thred
bare
Liuerie
,
it
is
a
greater
traine
then
some
of
their
Fathers
,
or
other
of
their
predecessors
before
them
were
able
to
maintaine
.
The
one
are
knowne
by
their
hospitality
and
good
house-keeping
,
aswell
in
the
City
as
in
the
Country
,
the
other
are
knowne
by
their
frequent
to
other
mens
tables
,
that
are
not
able
to
giue
a
meales
meate
,
nor
scarsly
to
eate
a
good
one
(
at
their
own
costs
and
charges
)
from
one
Sonday
to
another
.
The
one
are
knowne
by
the
authority
and
gouernment
they
beare
in
the
common
wealth
,
and
are
aduanced
for
their
wisedom
,
and
renowned
by
their
own
desert
,
the
other
are
better
knowne
for
their
wiues
vanity
,
then
for
their
owne
vertue
,
and
not
so
much
aduanced
for
their
own
wit
,
as
for
their
wiues
wantonnes
.
To
be
short
,
the
one
are
beloued
of
all
for
their
wisedome
,
and
the
other
are
scorned
of
al
for
their
folly
.
I
cannot
tell
whether
it
be
an
inconuenience
to
a
common
wealth
,
to
haue
so
many
vnworthy
persons
puft
vp
into
prid●
;
but
this
I
answere
,
that
a
great
number
of
the
vnable
sort
must
vphold
their
pride
,
either
by
begging
from
the
prince
,
or
by
shifting
or
scambling
in
the
common
wealth
:
for
sir
Giles
himselfe
must
haue
his
satten
suite
,
and
my
good
Lady
his
wife
,
must
needs
haue
her
Coach
,
for
to
see
a
Lady
to
walke
the
streetes
without
a
Coatch
,
is
like
my
Lord
Maior
,
when
he
comes
from
Westminster
without
a
Pageant
,
or
like
a
Shroue
Tuesday
without
a
pancake
.
For
as
Knightes
grow
poore
,
so
Ladies
grow
proude
,
and
when
a
Lady
is
out
of
the
new
Fashion
shee
is
like
a
shippe
that
is
out
of
Trim
,
shee
will
neuer
steare
well
.
The
Romaines
would
neuer
admit
any
man
to
carry
the
name
eyther
of
knight
or
gentleman
,
that
had
not
serued
in
the
warres
,
neither
would
they
dignifie
any
man
with
any
of
those
titles
,
but
such
as
had
been
famed
for
their
seruice
in
the
field
,
or
otherwise
commended
for
some
excellent
vertue
:
me
thinks
it
were
well
if
this
were
obserued
in
the
institution
of
knights
,
and
that
as
good
respect
might
be
had
to
their
ability
of
welth
,
as
to
their
ability
of
wit
,
and
although
I
doe
here
yoke
wealth
with
vertue
,
yet
I
do
make
wealth
to
be
but
the
handmaid
to
vertue
,
for
the
exercise
of
liberality
is
many
times
as
necessary
for
a
knight
as
chiualry
:
but
now
we
shall
sooner
meet
with
sir
Dinnaden
or
sir
Dagonet
at
a
dinner
,
then
sir
Lancelot
du
Lake
,
or
sir
Trustrum
de
Liones
in
the
field
.
Some
doe
hold
,
that
amongst
Knights
,
he
is
to
haue
the
first
place
,
that
had
his
first
creation
,
and
this
is
it
that
I
haue
laboured
all
this
while
to
impugne
:
for
what
a
disparagement
were
this
,
that
a
man
that
were
first
by
birth
a
Gentleman
discended
of
worthy
parents
,
trayned
and
fostered
vp
from
his
very
infancy
in
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
that
is
of
able
reuenew
to
keepe
hospitality
,
and
to
relieue
the
poorer
sort
that
are
inhabiting
about
him
,
whose
wisedom
and
experience
hath
beene
both
tried
and
well
approued
,
in
his
loue
and
seruice
showne
,
aswell
to
his
Prince
as
to
his
country
,
and
such
a
one
being
worthily
dignified
to
the
order
of
knighthood
,
for
his
vertue
and
well
deseruing
,
another
that
is
but
base
by
birth
,
compassed
(
perhaps
)
with
some
measur
of
welth
but
not
with
an
inch
of
wit
;
some
of
them
not
greatlie
pestered
,
neyther
with
wealth
nor
wit
,
his
best
complements
,
a
litle
pride
and
a
great
deale
of
ignorance
)
yet
one
of
these
little
worthy
creatures
,
creeping
into
a
knighthood
,
whether
by
fauour
,
whether
by
fortune
perhaps
by
fraud
,
but
I
am
sure
,
neither
by
merite
nor
by
desert
,
should
yet
shoulder
the
other
from
the
wal
,
because
he
had
his
creation
an
howre
or
two
before
him
.
I
could
here
find
in
my
heart
to
chide
(
and
that
extreamely
)
but
especially
in
the
behalfe
of
Ladies
,
I
meane
of
those
Ladies
that
may
bee
said
to
bee
truely
legitimate
:
for
there
bee
of
Ladies
,
as
there
bee
of
knightes
,
some
in
substance
,
and
some
in
show
:
but
for
those
that
bee
Ladies
aswell
in
nature
as
by
name
,
I
reuerence
those
,
nay
I
honor
them
,
&
although
I
know
their
vertuous
inclination
to
be
more
ready
to
pardon
,
then
willing
to
reuenge
,
yet
what
gentle
spirite
would
not
be
grieued
in
their
behalfes
,
to
see
a
base
borne
Madam
,
whose
mother
would
haue
beene
glad
to
haue
beene
a
good
Ladies
Landres
,
and
yet
she
will
pranke
and
pearch
,
yea
and
sometimes
contend
with
her
for
place
and
superiority
,
that
hath
had
her
betters
to
attend
her
in
her
chamber
.
I
did
once
know
one
of
these
femall
kind
,
that
the
best
bringing
vp
she
had
whilst
she
dwelt
with
her
owne
mother
(
I
thinke
)
was
to
study
the
Arte
of
Nauigation
:
shee
had
dayly
frequent
amongst
Saylers
and
Seafaring
men
▪
and
in
continuance
of
time
shee
fell
to
practise
the
Iacobs
staffe
:
and
I
durst
bee
sworne
,
she
neuer
so
much
as
dreamte
of
a
Ladiship
,
but
fortune
(
they
say
)
is
blinde
and
she
alwaies
fauours
fooles
.
The
Prouerbe
may
be
true
,
for
we
haue
some
knights
in
this
age
that
are
not
accounted
the
wisest
men
,
and
amongst
them
shee
was
Ladyfied
,
and
very
shortly
after
that
she
was
numbred
in
this
societie
to
become
a
fellow
Lady
:
she
began
to
scorne
this
excrement
of
wormes
,
this
satten
,
silke
and
veluet
were
to
meane
for
my
Ladies
wearing
,
vnles
it
were
decked
,
garded
and
garnished
with
the
minerall
of
golde
,
siluer
and
other
ornaments
of
more
pure
and
precious
nature
.
Martial
maketh
mention
of
one
of
these
base
born
brats
called
Poppeia
,
that
after
shee
became
a
concubine
to
Nero
,
had
her
horses
shod
with
pure
gold
:
I
woulde
be
ashamed
of
it
,
but
I
would
match
Poppeias
pride
with
as
base
borne
as
her selfe
,
if
I
listed
to
picke
out
presidents
,
though
not
in
shooing
of
horses
with
gold
▪
yet
in
other
superfluous
vanities
,
no
lesse
nice
and
foolish
then
that
:
but
let
them
passe
,
and
thus
I
will
conclude
,
that
as
there
is
no
ambition
so
violent
,
as
that
of
the
Beggers
,
so
there
is
no
pride
to
be
compared
to
the
pride
of
one
of
these
abiect
creatures
,
that
is
exalted
&
lifted
vp
from
a
base
estate
to
a
litle
prosperity
.
But
now
to
speake
of
knights
,
I
say
that
the
dignitie
was
at
the
beginning
giuen
for
seruice
in
the
field
,
and
was
proper
onely
to
martiall
men
,
for
there
was
the
first
institution
,
but
since
it
hath
growne
by
custome
,
that
euery
absolute
Prince
hath
power
to
bestow
that
dignity
aswell
in
the
time
of
peace
,
as
in
the
time
of
warre
,
but
yet
knights
are
of
the
more
or
lesse
reputation
,
according
to
the
quality
of
the
Prince
,
or
partie
that
giueth
the
creation
,
for
this
is
the
opinion
of
the
Heraldes
,
the
Venetian
estate
,
and
the
state
of
Genoa
,
doe
take
vpon
them
to
make
Knights
,
and
so
doth
the
Pope
;
but
with
these
wee
will
not
meddle
.
In
the
time
of
the
first
institution
,
the
creation
was
performed
with
many
ceremonies
,
and
as
many
ceremonies
again
were
vsed
in
the
degradation
of
a
knight
.
There
are
three
or
foure
sundry
orders
of
knightes
in
England
,
but
I
will
onely
speake
of
those
that
haue
neither
garment
badge
,
signe
nor
show
whereby
to
be
knowne
from
other
ordinary
Gentlemen
,
but
by
the
addition
of
sir
Iohn
,
sir
Thomas
,
sir
Richard
,
or
sir
Robert
,
by
which
notes
they
are
better
known
amongst
our selues
then
they
are
to
straungers
,
and
these
knightes
are
called
by
the
Heraldes
,
knightes
Batchelers
.
These
knights
are
made
either
by
the
king
himselfe
or
by
his
commission
and
royall
authority
to
his
liuetenant
,
especially
in
the
time
of
warre
,
who
hath
his
royal
and
absolute
power
for
the
instant
.
This
order
is
giuen
vpon
diuerse
considerations
,
whereof
the
principall
is
for
seruice
in
the
field
,
and
to
these
especially
belongeth
the
greatest
honour
,
and
ought
to
take
the
first
place
,
for
I
haue
knowne
,
(
and
I
haue
somtimes
seen
)
both
Earles
&
Barons
,
that
haue
receiued
the
order
of
knighthood
in
the
field
,
&
haue
thought
themselues
therby
to
be
dignified
:
for
as
the
beuty
of
euery
common
wealth
consisteth
in
the
vertue
of
their
Nobility
,
so
the
wings
of
true
Nobility
,
wherwith
to
make
her
to
flie
hie
,
are
the
deeds
of
chiualry
,
for
being
inlightened
with
martial
skil
,
it
maketh
him
to
shine
more
cleare
and
bright
.
In
the
time
of
Peace
,
the
dignity
of
knighthood
is
bestowed
of
many
worthy
Gentlemen
,
who
for
their
wisedome
and
ability
euery
way
,
are
fit
to
sway
&
gouerne
in
the
common
wealth
,
and
these
knightes
are
worthily
honored
,
&
are
so
to
be
reputed
&
regarded
.
After
these
in
the
thirde
ranke
,
let
them
march
in
Gods
name
,
whom
the
prince
himselfe
doth
aduance
(
perhaps
)
in
hope
of
their
future
seruice
,
or
for
any
other
respect
or
consideration
(
whatsoeuer
)
for
it
wel
beseemeth
a
king
to
make
a
knight
(
thogh
it
be
but
for
his
pleasur
)
because
a
prince
may
giue
him
maintenance
to
hold
his
estate
,
as
he
gaue
him
Knighthood
at
his
pleasure
,
whither
any
substitute
may
doe
the
like
,
I
will
not
dispute
,
for
if
hee
makes
a
Knight
for
his
pleasure
that
is
vnable
,
eyther
he
makes
a
Begger
,
that
must
bee
still
crauing
of
the
Prince
,
or
such
a
burthen
,
that
of
necessity
,
must
be
a
pester
to
the
common
wealth
,
for
those
knights
that
are
but
poore
,
bare
and
needy
,
are
like
cyphers
that
do
make
figures
rich
,
but
are
themselues
worth
nothing
.
I
am
sorry
now
at
last
to
speake
of
those
that
are
a
stayne
to
that
honourable
order
of
Knighthood
,
that
knowing
themselues
to
be
of
no
desert
,
nor
any
waies
able
to
merite
,
will
buy
the
dignity
and
purchase
their
knighthood
with
money
,
a
silly
humour
that
loueth
admiration
,
and
procureth
laughter
.
I
haue
known
of
these
betrayers
of
vertue
,
that
when
hee
had
made
his
purchase
of
a
knighthood
,
the
best
that
he
was
able
after
to
performe
,
was
to
take
a
place
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
Table
,
and
all
the
vertue
that
was
in
him
beside
,
was
this
,
hee
loued
to
pay
the
Fidlers
.
I
might
inlarge
a
great
deale
of
other
matter
aboute
this
contending
and
striuing
for
places
,
this
standing
vpon
precedence
and
superiority
,
who
is
better
,
and
who
is
worse
,
but
to
him
that
is
not
partiall
,
it
might
very
well
appeare
,
that
aswell
amongst
Noble
men
,
as
amongst
Knights
and
Gentlemen
,
the
martiall
man
is
first
to
bee
preferred
,
yea
amongst
Emperors
,
kinges
and
princes
,
hee
is
euer
holden
to
bee
most
magnificent
,
that
is
most
martiall
:
and
this
is
not
mine
,
but
the
opinion
of
the
Heraldes
.
Now
for
a
number
of
counterfeit
Souldiers
,
that
wil
be
called
Captaines
,
some
of
them
that
neuer
had
charge
,
vnles
(
perhaps
)
at
the
fetching
home
of
a
May-pole
,
or
sometimes
preferred
more
for
fauour
then
for
any
ability
that
was
in
them
,
vnles
to
leade
men
to
the
slaughter
.
Some
other
againe
that
haue
beene
a
littleat
the
sea
,
a
pilfering
,
that
for
the
seruice
,
or
what
belongeth
to
the
sea
,
are
more
simple
and
ignorant
then
the
poore
shippe
boy
,
and
these
bee
they
that
are
a
slander
and
disgrace
to
the
Art
Militari
,
for
there
is
no
greater
inciuility
,
no
baser
disorder
,
nor
more
shamefull
misdeameanor
,
then
is
vsed
by
these
counterfeit
Souldiers
that
do
march
vnder
the
title
of
Captaines
.
But
what
profession
is
free
from
counterfeites
,
when
Diuinity
it selfe
is
sometimes
made
but
a
cloke
for
hipocrites
:
And
here
if
I
might
but
craue
a
litle
licence
,
I
might
speake
of
a
kinde
and
manner
of
affinity
,
that
is
between
the
Deuine
and
the
Souldier
,
sympathizing
and
concurring
so
nearly
together
,
that
both
their
vertues
and
their
vices
might
bee
saide
to
bee
a
kinne
,
and
to
haue
proceeding
from
one
originall
:
they
are
both
warriours
,
the
one
with
the
word
,
the
other
with
the
sword
:
the
one
fighting
against
the
pride
of
sinne
,
and
against
all
enemies
ghostly
&
spirituall
:
the
other
fighting
against
the
ambition
of
Tirants
and
against
all
other
oppressors
,
eyther
forreine
or
domesticall
.
A
good
Captaine
must
haue
training
,
practise
and
experience
,
before
hee
take
vppon
him
to
conduct
in
the
seruice
of
his
Prince
:
a
godly
Deuine
must
haue
learning
,
wisedome
and
knowledge
,
before
hee
take
vpon
him
the
cure
of
soules
in
the
church
of
God
.
The
vnskilfull
Captaine
but
leadeth
men
to
the
slaughter
:
the
ignorant
Deuine
leadeth
soules
to
destruction
.
A
good
Captaine
,
fearing
the
attempts
,
and
sodaine
surprises
of
the
enemy
,
is
still
vigilant
and
watchfull
:
A
good
Deuine
fearing
the
creeping
in
of
vice
,
&
the
hote
Alarmes
of
sinne
is
euer
ready
to
make
resistance
.
The
Captaine
that
sometimes
buyeth
his
company
and
attaineth
to
his
charge
more
by
fauour
of
friends
then
by
his
owne
vertue
,
is
more
ready
to
poul
&
pill
his
Souldiers
,
then
to
performe
any
seruice
;
the
Deuine
that
creepeth
into
a
Benefice
by
sinister
practise
,
more
for
the
loue
of
the
liuing
,
then
for
loue
of
the
liuing
God
,
will
sooner
fleece
his
flocke
then
feede
it
and
will
bee
more
ready
to
contend
with
his
parishioners
for
those
duties
that
are
appertaining
to
himself
,
then
to
teach
and
instruct
them
in
those
duties
that
they
owe
vnto
God
.
Those
Captaines
that
are
too
formal
and
in
the
prescribing
of
martiall
Discipline
,
are
more
nice
then
necessary
,
are
the
disturbers
of
the
loue
and
amity
that
should
be
amongst
Souldiers
,
and
doe
many
times
hinder
the
expedition
of
seruice
that
might
be
performed
:
those
Deuines
that
are
more
precise
in
the
ceremonies
of
the
Church
then
the
worde
it selfe
doth
warrant
,
are
the
seedes
men
of
dissention
,
and
by
their
too
much
curiosity
,
they
set
abroach
those
strifes
and
contentions
,
that
are
lets
and
hindrances
to
many
godly
proceedings
that
might
benefite
the
church
.
The
careles
Captain
suffereth
his
Souldiers
to
spoile
to
rob
,
to
steale
,
to
bring
in
booties
,
aswell
from
friendes
as
foes
,
hee
cares
not
from
whome
,
so
he
may
haue
his
share
;
the
couetous
Deuine
suffereth
his
flock
to
wander
in
blindnes
,
to
follow
idolatrie
,
and
to
rob
God
of
his
glory
,
he
cares
not
how
,
so
it
bringeth
in
beeues
to
his
kitchen
,
horse
to
his
stable
,
and
money
to
his
cofers
.
I
might
be
infinite
in
this
comparison
,
but
let
it
rest
:
and
to
conclude
(
I
say
)
they
are
most
detestable
vices
,
that
are
most
desirous
to
looke
like
vertues
.
An
Heretique
of
good
life
(
saith
Origen
)
is
much
more
hurtfull
,
and
hath
more
authority
in
his
wordes
,
then
he
that
doth
discredit
his
doctrine
with
the
lewdnes
of
his
life
,
wee
must
therefore
take
heed
of
Papists
that
are
of
godly
conuersation
to
the
show
.
The
holy
Hipocrite
is
more
to
bee
feared
,
then
the
Publican
or
Harlot
,
yet
beware
of
a
woman
,
that
hath
once
marked
her selfe
with
infamy
,
let
her
afterwardes
pretend
neuer
so
much
honesty
.
I
dare
not
vndertake
to
write
an
Apology
in
defence
of
his
wit
,
that
in
despight
of
gray
hayres
and
wisedome
too
,
will
intangle
himselfe
with
one
of
those
marked
creatures
;
but
she
may
bring
him
children
,
and
teach
him
to
sing
with
the
summer
bird
,
I
might
haue
liued
merily
,
if
I
had
loued
neuer
.
But
to
conclude
the
Text
that
I
haue
taken
in
hand
;
we
contend
about
precedence
and
superiority
,
wee
striue
who
shall
goe
before
,
and
who
shall
follow
after
,
and
wee
do
all
make
semblance
to
hunt
after
honour
,
but
in
truth
we
hunt
contrary
,
and
missing
the
right
tract
where
honour
is
to
bee
found
,
wee
content
our selues
with
a
little
vaine
glory
;
but
it
fitteth
the
time
,
and
letit
doe
so
still
,
for
there
is
no
amendment
,
the
world
(
I
see
)
is
growne
to
be
like
Frier
Bacons
brasen
head
:
The
time
is
past
,
and
there
is
no
hope
of
recouery
.
Christ
sweateth
bloud
,
whilst
wee
snort
and
sleepe
;
Christ
wrastleth
and
ftriueth
with
the
world
,
whilst
we
stand
by
,
and
giue
him
the
looking
on
;
Christ
hath
humbled
himselfe
to
the
Crosse
,
wee
dispute
of
dignities
,
who
shall
sit
on
the
right
hand
,
who
on
the
left
,
who
shall
goe
before
,
and
who
shall
follow
after
:
wee
are
lifted
vp
in
our
owne
conceites
,
wee
swell
with
pride
and
presumption
,
the
one
of
vs
against
the
other
,
we
misspend
this
treasure
of
time
,
which
God
in
his
mercy
hath
giuen
vnto
vs
,
this
blessed
season
of
peace
,
which
by
a
gracious
gouernement
wee
now
enjoy
,
which
should
bee
conuerted
to
better
vse
and
purpose
.
In
the
time
of
peace
,
Philosophie
hath
his
peculiar
exercise
:
and
when
wee
are
exempt
from
the
trouble
of
warre
,
it
is
then
time
to
settle
religion
,
to
establish
lawes
,
and
execute
iustice
,
to
endeuour
the
knowledge
of
Artes
,
and
Sciences
,
and
in
the
time
of
peace
,
it
is
then
high
time
to
prouide
for
warre
.
FINIS
