for
whose
safer
Conuoy
,
hee
hath
engaged
his
fidelity
.
Hee
shall
meete
with
many
Pyrats
,
that
will
striue
to
boord
him
,
not
so
much
for
the
Vessell
,
as
the
burden
;
and
this
they
will
be
maisters
of
,
or
their
liues
shall
pay
the
forfeiture
of
their
miscarrying
:
But
the
Tongue
is
the
Sterne
of
this
great
Caracke
,
which
whosoeuer
hath
the
skill
to
guide
,
may
easily
disappoint
them
in
their
aymes
.
It
was
the
manner
of
those
ancient
Champions
,
which
by
the
Greekes
were
called
Pancratiastae
,
to
stand
,
being
summoned
to
fight
,
with
their
armes
lift
vp
on
high
,
fortifying
as
with
a
Trench
,
their
head
and
mouth
,
with
their
opposed
hands
;
and
setling
themselues
in
a
readynes
,
before
the
beginning
of
the
combat
,
either
to
put
by
the
blowes
of
their
Antagon●sts
,
or
make
them
feele
the
heauy
waight
of
theirs
.
In
the
like
posture
should
the
minde
of
a
wise
man
be
,
against
the
ryotous
and
wanton
violence
of
iniurious
persons
;
Erecta

debet
,
ardua
,
septa
,
solida
,
expedita
,
nunquàm
connivens
,
nusquàm

suam
flecters
;
but
continually
producing
Counsailes
and
aduise
,
against
the
Batteries
and
Assaults
of
the
deceitfull
,
against
the
snares
and
treacheries
of
the
vniust
,
as
the
onely
armes
and
hands
,
whereby
to
repell
their
force
,
and
secure
himselfe
from
being
suddenly
surprized
.
He
must
be
like
those
mysticall
creatures
in
Ezechiell
,
full
of
Eyes
,
(
that
is
)
exceeding
vigilant
,
and
circumspect
in
his
proceedings
:
But
aboue
all
,
hee
must
put
a
bridle
in
his
mouth
,
and
curbe
his
tongue
,
from
being
too
extrauagant
.
Sp●ech
is
the
onely
Character
,
by
which
a
man
expresseth
himselfe
vnto
the
life
;
A
Picture
sheweth
vs
but
his
outward
lineaments
,
but
in
this
,
the
nature
and
qualitie
of
his
minde
is
oftentimes
decyphered
to
the
full
.

And
hence
no

,
came

That
Noble
man
,
which
came
into
the
Painters
shoppe
,
drew
by
his
outward
presence
all
due
obseruance
,
&
respect
,
euen
from
the
Maister
;
but
when
he
began
to
speake
,
the
boyes
brake
forth
in
laughter
at
his
weakenesse
;
And
indeed
,
by
nothing
better
then
her
note
,
can
we
distinguish
the
Bird.
It
is
said
of
Geese
,
that
,
when
at
the
change
of
seasons
,
they
passe
from
Cilicia
,
ouer
the
mountaine
Taurus
which
abounds
with
Eagles
:
they
carry
stones
in
their
bills
,
for
feare
their
crie
should
discouer
them
to
their
enemies
.
Reason
should
teach
vs
that
,
which
Nature
hath
instructed
them
;
but
alas
,
it
is
a
thing
of
greater
difficultie
then
so
.
For
it
is
not
possible
that
any
man
should
moderate
his
tongue
,
who
hath
not
first
of
all
tamed
his
affections
.
The
sonne
of
Croesus
was
dumbe
euen
from
his
birth
,
yet
when
the
Souldier
had
aduanced
his
sword
to
cut
the
threed
of
his
fathers
life
,
the
violence
of
his
passion
remoou'd
the
impediment
of
his
speech
,
and
he
cried
out
,
O
stay
thy
hand
,
It
is
the
King
thou
hast
at
that
aduantage
;
This
which
through
naturall
loue
was
caused
in
him
,
hath
very
often
by
the
disordered
&
irregular
motions
of
the
Minde
,
bin
wrought
in
others
.
Philotas
by
his
ambitious
vaunts
,
and
windie
ostentations
,
made
a
broade
passage
to
his
own
confusion
.
Sampson

by
dallying
too
much
with

to

:
And
Claudius
,
Hunc

If
this
be
setled
once
,
the
Tongue
cannot
miscarrie
.
We
may
obserue
in
Homer
,
that
such
as
are
commended
by
him
for
their
wisedome
,
are
likewise
saide
to
bee
most
sparing
of
their
speech
:
Hee
makes
Vlysses
after
his
returne
,
to
giue
his
sonne
this
charge
;
If
thou
be
mine
,
&
from
my
bloud
deriu'd
,
And
to
speake
truth
,
it
is
impossible
,
according
to
that
saying
of
Demaratus
.
A
foole
should
hold
his
peace
.
Li●tora

They

nor

.
An
open
mouth
,
sayeth
Plutarke
)
serues
the
Maister
to
no
other
vse
,
then
doth
a
house
without
a
doore
,
or
a
purse
without
a
string
.
Hee
must
not
in
any
wise
be
like
that
place
in
the
City
of
Olympias
,
which
for
the
often
resounding
of
one
and
the
selfe-same
voyce
,
by
reason
of
diuers
and
sundry
reflections
in
it
,
was
not
without
iust
,
and
due
consideration
surnamed
Heptaphonos
.
For
howsoeuer
it
be
a
very
difficult
thing
to
restrain
the
tongue
from
intemperancie
in
this
kinde
,
and
that
many
men
are
of
such
a
temper
,
that
they
could
with
greater
patience
endure
to
carry
burning
coales
in
their
brests
,
then
●ecrets
;
Whereupon
it
often-times
falls
out
,
that
those
things
which
are
whispered
in
the
eare
,
are
presently
after
published
in
the
market
;
yet
is
there
no
excuse
wherewith
to
colour
such
a
defect
in
one
of
publike
place
.
For
besides
an
imputation
of
weakenesse
which
he
brings
thereby
vpon
himselfe
,
he
doth
first
of
all
controll
the
very
purpose
and
intent
of
Nature
,
who
to
shew
vs
the
vnrulinesse
of
the
tongue
,
and
with
what
strictnesse
it
is
to
be
obserued
,
hath
as
it
were
imprisoned
it
in
the
mouth
;
chain'd
it
with
sinowes
to
the
throate
;
wall'd
it
about
with
gummes
;
hedg'd
it
in
on
euery
side
with
teeth
;
and
for
feare
it
might
any
way
breake
forth
,
shut
it
vp
closely
with
the
lips
,
as
with
a
two-leau'd
gate
,
so
that
his
iudgement
,
and
discretion
,
which
haue
the
charge
and
custodie
thereof
,
cannot
but
be
liable
to
Censure
,
if
it
make
escape
.
Secondly
,
he
doth
digresse
from
Reason
,
which
confirmes
vnto
vs
euery
moment
by
infinite
examples
,
That
the
safetie
of
the
tongue
is
the
tree
of
life
;
and
hee
which
preserueth
it
,
according
to
that
of
the
wise
man
,
Ag●●opir

Spirit●i
.
Thirdly

—

Vulgarit

sub

Si●
trabibus
;
fragil●mque

—
sayth
the
Poet
;
And
in
an
other
place
he
giueth
euery
one
this
caution
:
Percun●●ator●m
fugito
;
nam
garruius
idem
est
.
Fourthly
,
he
doth
breake
and
violate
the
lawes
of
Nations
.
Amongst
the
Persians
,
Lingua

,
sayth
Q.
Curtius

the

one
of
the
Gentlemen

be
cut
off

for
telling
Plato
,
who
had
demaunded
of
him
what
the
Tyrant
did
,
That
he
had
stripped
himself
by
reason
of
the
heate
,
and
was
painting
in
a
Table
.
So
that
last
of
all
,
he
makes
a
blot
of
his
owne
Securitie
,
and
hazards
vpon
the
vncertaine
chances
of
the
Dice
,
his
dearest
safetie
.
Vipers
are
torne
in
sunder
with
the
bringing
forth
of
their
young
;
and
secret
words
issuing
out
of
the
mouth
,
bring
with
them
the
vtter
ruine
and
subuersion
of
those
that
reuealed
them
:
It
is
an
oracle
vttered
vnto
vs
by
the
mouth
of
Wisedome
,
Amongst
other
Hieroglyphikes
,
by
which
the
Egyptians
did
shadow
Silence
forth
,
they
made
the
Quince-tree
one
,
whose
fruite
hath
the
proportion
of
the
heart
,
and
whose
leafe
is
fashioned
like
the
tongue
of
man
:
to
signifie
thereby
vnto
vs
,
that
Speech
which
is
the
fruite
as
it
were
of
the
Vnderstanding
,
should
be
perpetually
fastened
vnto
that
,
and
not
to
this
.
Yea
,
the
spirit
of
Truth
enformeth
vs
,
that
he
which
hath
knowledge
,
spareth
his
words
;
but
the
mouth
of
a
foole
is
his
owne
destruction
,
and
his
lips
are
a
snare
for
his
soule
.
Wherefore
he
that
is
familiarly
acquainted
with
his
owne
infirmities
,
and
findeth
in
himselfe
this
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
this
talkatiue
intemperancie
,
let
him
stand
aloofe
,
and
not
rashly
vndertake
any
waightie
,
or
important
charge
;
but
salute
it
at
a
safe
and
fearlesse
distance
,
as
young
Hyppolitus
did
the
Goddesse
Venus
,
or
his
presumptuous
ouer-weening
,
will
haue
a
tragicall
Catastrophe
.
The
times
are
dangerous
and
deceitfull
in
which
we
liue
.
The
World
affoords
vs
almost
nothing
now
,
which
is
not
personated
and
disguised
.
Amongst
men
there
are
many
,
—
Qui

politi
,
Astutam
vapido
seruant
sub
pectore
Vuloem
.
They
haue
honie
in
their
mouthes
,
but
a
Razour
at
their
girdles
;
and
as
the
Comike
saith
,
Composita
dicta
pectore
euolvunt
suo
,
Quae
cum
comp●nas
dicta
factis
discrepant
.
In
a
word
,
the
Owle
hath
learnd
to
counterfaite
the
Nightingale
:
and
Sathan
that
hee
may
the
better
worke
vpon
a
weake
beliefe
,
hath
fashioned
his
Tongue
to
the
Dialect
of
Angels
.
Simolicitie
lyeth
speechlesse
,
and
Vpright-dealing
is
ready
to
giue
vp
the
Ghost
;
the
Bell
hath
oftentimes
rung
out
for
them
;
by
reason
wherof
,
D●ssimulation
hath
long
since
entered
vpon
their
Possessions
;
and
like
a
cunning
Vsurper
,
enthron'd
herselfe
within
the
hearts
and
mindes
of
fraile
Mortalitie
;
So
that
fewe
are
left
,
and
those
not
easily
to
be
discerned
,
which
are
not
as
the
Poet
saith
,
Introrsum
turpes
,
speciosi
pell●
decora
.
Euery
man
is
now
become
a
Sydonian
,
and
hath
his
Baal
to
himselfe
:
whilst
he
that
is
the
GOD
of
Gods
,
of
power
and
Maiestie
so
infinite
,
that
(
as
th'
Aegyptians
caused
to
bee
written
on
their
Temple
Gates
)
hee
is
,
Whatsoeuer
hat●
beene
,
is
or
shall
bee
,
is
made
the
subiect
of
his
Hellish
laughter
.
●u●l●ci●ie
,
It
i●
true
,
that
in
a
mans
owne
priuate
businesses
,
hee
may
assume
what
libertie
he
please
;
but
in
those
things
which
concerne
a
third
,
he
must
be
very
wa●ie
how
hee
doth
proceede
.
Icaru●
to
satisfie
his
daring
minde
,
may
freely
(
peraduenture
)
&
without
controulment
,
soare
aboue
the
strength
of
his
waxen
wings
,
as
long
as
the
disastrous
euent
of
his
presumption
,
extendeth
it selfe
no
farther
,
then
the
compasse
of
his
owne
graue
:
But
Phaeton
,
must
of
necessitie
bee
blamed
,
if
wilfully
and
vnaduisedly
,
hee
vndergoe
a
taske
,
the
weake
performance
whereof
,
brings
nothing
but
confusion
to
himselfe
,
and
others
.
And
this
is
that
our
SAVIOVR
CHRIST
so
ofte
inculcated
to
his
Disciples
,
when
bidding
them
beware
of
men
,
he
commended
vnto
them
the
Wi●edome
of
the
Serpent
,
in
regard
of
his
Church
;
but
the
Innoce●ci●
and
Sim●l●●●ie
of
Doues
,
in
regard
of
themselues
.
It
behooueth
euery
one
therefore
to
take
heede
,
how
,
and
to
whom
he
open
himself
at
any
time
,
for
feare
he
falsifie
the
trust
which
is
reposed
in
him
,
and
by
so
doing
endanger
all
.
Let
him
imitate
that
Graecian
of
former
times
,
who
being
told
that
his
breath
did
smell
,
Answered
,
It
was
by
reason
of
the
many
Secrets
,
which
had
a
long
while
laine
rotting
,
and
putrifying
within
him
.
Let
his
Bosome
be
like
the
Lyons
denne
in
the
Apologue
;
towards
the
mouth
whereof
,
the
Prints
and
prickings
of
sundrie
sorts
of
Beasts
might
easily
be
discerned
,
Sed
nulla
retrorsum
,
but
from
thence
none
at
all
.
Let
him
alwayes
talke
with
Harpocrates
,
at
the
signe
of
the
Finger
on
the
Mouth
;
and
learne
of
Anacharsis
,
that
the
Tongue
hath
neede
of
a
more
strong
restraint
then
Nature
.
Let
him
not
be
too
curious
with
them
of
Bethshemesh
,
Arcanum
neque
tu
scrutaberis
vllius
vnquàm
;
Commissumque
teges
,
&
vino
tortus
,
&
irâ
.
And
indeed
it
is
a
profanation
of
dutie
,
to
publish
any
thing
we
should
not
.
Those
things
therefore
which
are
to
be
concealed
,
let
him
conceale
them
,
—
vt
Curia
Martis
Athenis
;
as
close
as
either
Silence
or
Darknes
will
affoord
him
meanes
to
keepe
them
both
from
Eye
and
Eare
:
for
the
better
effecting
whereof
,
there
is
necessarily
required
in
him
a
Wise
distrust
,
and
flownesse
of
Beliefe
,
wherewith
his
brest
must
so
equally
be
ballanced
,
that
he
may
steddily
run
on
,
without
suffering
shipwracke
in
such
a
doubtfull
and
dangerous
Course
.
vnto
our
Sauiour
Christ
with
a
deceitfull
and
captious
interrogatorie
,
prayses
of
whose
mouths
are
witchcrafts
:
of
those
are

Th●

and
sayd
vnto
him
,
Maister
,
Maister
,
thinking
that
he
perceiuing
himselfe
so
honoured
and
respected
by
them
,
might
simply
peradventure
,
and
without
mistrust
,
discouer
and
reueale
vnto
them
the
secrets
of
his
heart
:
but
alas
!
they
mistooke
their
aime
,
they
missed
their
marke
.
He
that
intuitiuely
knew
all
things
,
did
likewise
know
their
salutation
to
be
nothing
else
,
but
a
mischieuous
and
treacherous
insinuation
;
and
therfore
howsoeuer
he
accepted
of
the
like
titles
from
the
mouth
of
his
Disciples
;
yet
heere
the
text
sayth
of
him
,
That
he
stouped
downe
,
and
with
his
finger
wrote
vpon
the
ground
;
to
shew
,
that
he
was
not
delighted
with
their
vanitie
,
and
that
he
knew
the
scope
and
drift
of
their
intent
.
Howsoeuer
there
are
many
so
weake
of
vnderstanding
,
that
measuring
others
by
their
owne
simplicitie
,
they
suffer
both
Discourse
and
Iudgement
to
be
subdued
by
outward
circumstance
,
and
led
in
triumph
by
the
formall
apparance
of
deluding
Sycophants
.
Yea
the
wisest
,
if
neuer
so
little
Iouially
disposed
,
can
hardly
keepe
themselues
from
nibling
at
this
bait
.
Men
for
the
most
part
are
like
the
Peacocke
,
of
which
the
Poet
writes
;

Si

Her
praysed
plumes
great
Iunôs

But
view'd
with
silence
,
she
conceales
her
worth
:
Such
as
haue
any
sense
at
all
,
are
sensible
in
this
;
there
is
no
Stoike
but
desireth
it
,
no
Cynike
but
delighteth
in
it
.
But
they
that
shall
consider
with
themselues
,
that
Esops
Fox
did
not
praise
the
Crow
,
but
to
beguile
him
of
his
preye
,
will
peraduenture
be
warie
,
how
they
be
transported
and
led
away
with
such
vaine
perswasions
.
There
is
in
speeches
of
this
nature
a
certaine
sweetnesse
,
There
are
others
,
that
by
enforcing
an
imaginarie
supposition
,
endeuour
to
extort
a
truth
;
and
this
as
it
is
vsually
practised
,
so
is
it
seldome
vneffected
:
prouided
alwayes
the
thing
obiected
be
a
matter
of
more
consequence
,
and
such
as
would
redound
,
if
iustified
,
with
scandall
to
the
partie
that
should
reporte
it
.
For
feeling
himselfe
so
vrged
,
hee
will
instantly
,
to
cleare
himselfe
of
the
greater
imputation
,
not
stick
peraduenture
to
confesse
the
lesser
.
But
these
may
easily
be
preuented
,
if
wee
can
keepe
our selues
from
falling
into
passion
,
and
seeme
but
lightly
touched
with
their
obiections
.
There
are
some
againe
,
Tell
mee
,
(
saith
he
)
the
Baptisme
of
Iohn
,
Is
it
of
heauen
,
or
of
men
?
and
with
this
Dilemma
,
this
two-edged
argument
,
hee
cut
the
throate
of
their
inquisitiuenesse
.
There
is
another
example
of
the
like
nature
,
expressed
by
the
Poet
in
the
difference
betweene
Damoetas
and
Menalcas
:
the
one
saith
,
And
the
other
,
not
able
(
it
may
be
)
to
expound
his
riddle
,
or
at
least
not
willing
,
requiteth
him
with
the
like
:
Dic
quibus
in
terris
inscripti
nomina
Regum
Nascantur
flores
,
&
Phyllida
solus
habeto
.
And
this
is
a
iust
and
lawfull
retribution
,
and
nothing
else
then
to
giue
our
aduersarie
the
foyle
at
his
owne
weapon
.
To
be
briefe
,
there
are
some
that
will
not
let
to
instance
many
feined
matters
on
themselues
,
by
way
of
ostentation
,
or
vpon
others
by
way
of
approbation
,
that
they
may
drawe
from
their
auditorie
a
true
confession
of
the
like
.
Of
these
we
must
take
heede
,
and
withall
,
be
diligently
carefull
,
that
they
worke
not
vpon
our
weaknesses
,
and
disaduantages
;
or
make
vs
the
subiect
of
such
experiments
.
And
that
we
may
the
better
secure
our selues
from
them
,
we
must
know
it
is
their
vsuall
practise
,
when
they
meete
with
any
so
firmely
setled
in
their
disposition
that
they
cannot
leade
them
;
so
close
and
priuate
in
their
desires
,
that
they
cannot
winne
them
;
so
furnished
with
rules
and
principles
of
wise
preuention
,
that
they
cannot
awe
them
;
to
fasten
vpon
their
friends
,
factions
and
dependences
,
or
others
that
are
interested
in
them
,
and
so
gouerne
them
;
And
hence
proceeded
that
of
Sampson
,
Had
ye
not
ploughed
with
my
heifer
,
yee
had
not
found
out
my
riddle
.
Wherefore
it
is
good
,
neuer
to
impart
our
mindes
,
but
where
it
much
importeth
;
and
in
matters
of
any
moment
to
be
alwayes
doubtfull
of
the
worst
.

But
if
it
be
grounded
vpon
vaine
imaginations
and
surmises
,
it
is
either
an
argument
of
weakenesse
,
or
of
basenesse
,
and
who
so
vseth
it
,
must
of
necessitie
be
thought
a

For
as
to

to

nothing
is
meerely
brutish

take
it

from

of

in

where
there
is
greatest
cause
of
diffidence

be

deserue

Of
the
wisedome
of
Behauiour
in
generall
.
THe
wisedome
which
is
required
in
one
of
publike
imployment
,
is
either
wisedome
of
behauiour
,
or
wisedome
of
negotiation
;
which
in
a
word
is
nothing
but
the
Doue
,
and
the
Serpent
.
For
as
concerning
the
first
;
he
must
be
kinde
and
courteous
towards
all
men
;
full
of
mildnesse
and
affabilitie
in
his
discourse
;
full
of
sobrietie
,
and
appliable
demeanour
in
his
conuersation
.
The
minde
of
a
wise
man
is
by
the
mouth
of
Salomon
compared
to
a
glasse
,
Est
modus
in
rebus
,
sunt
certi
denique
fines
,
He
will
therefore
out
of
his
owne
discretion
so
leuell
forth
his
carriage
,
that
it
may
hold
a
certaine
specious
kinde
of
correspondencie
with
most
,
and
not
giue
by
reason
of
distance
,
or
disproportion
,
occasion
of
offence
to
any
:
with
some
actually
&
indeede
;
with
othersome
apparantly
,
&
with
relation
onely
to
Societie
.
For
this
,
howsoeuer
we
dislike
the
vneuennesse
of
mens
proceedings
,
must
alwayes
be
preserued
and
kept
vnviolated
.
He
must
not
disapproue
of
whatsoeuer
is
not
bounded
with
the
circumference
of
his
owne
opinion
,
or
tendeth
not
to
the
same
Center
:
nor
giue
his
iudgement
vpon
any
thing
,
though
he
be
neuer
so
well
able
to
decide
it
,
but
with
Apologies
,
and
Cautions
;
to
the
intent
that
such
as
are
in
conference
with
him
may
haue
no
cause
,
either
to
enuy
his
knowledge
,
or
blush
at
their
owne
ignorance
.
He
must
not
like
Aesops
Asse
grow
proud
and
insolent
of
his
employments
,
nor
thinke
the
better
of
himselfe
because
of
his
burthen
:
but
entertaine
such
priuate
graces
and
fauors
as
are
showne
him
,
with
a
setled
modestie
:
&
neuer
publish
them
,
but
with
an
abasement
of
his
owne
merit
,
ascribing
all
such
accidents
,
more
to
the
authors
facilitie
,
or
his
owne
externall
felicitie
,
then
to
any
skill
or
vertue
that
is
inherent
.
He
must
auoyde
all
windie
ostentation
,
which
by
the
force
of
Selfe-Conceite
,
may
be
drawne
from
any
suruey
he
hath
taken
of
his
owne
worthinesse
.
It
is
an
vnseemely
thing
for
any
man
to
be
the
trumpet
of
his
owne
sufficiencie
:
and
whosoeuer
it
is
that
striues
to
bee
both
Homer
and
Achilles
;
Virgil
and
Aeneas
;
he
doth
but
manifest
his
owne
weaknesse
,
and
want
of
wit
.
For
his
actions
(
if
any
thing
be
in
him
)
will
in
time
proue
sufficient
blazoners
of
his
worth
.
Let
vs
but
rightly
cast
vp
our
accounts
,
&
we
shall
streightway
finde
,
that
wee
can
neuer
speake
of
our selues
but
with
some
preiudice
:
Our
proper
taxations
are
receiued
still
as
setled
truthes
:
but
the
commendations
which
wee
giue
our
owne
deseruings
,
cannot
escape
the
censure
of
Misbeliefe
.
Plinie
)
recensente

:
little
Oare
,
we
still
dig
further
on
in
hope
of
more
,
flattering
our
expectation
with
this
conceit
,
that
surely
so
small
a
quantitie
was
not
alone
,
and
impute
the
not
attaining
it
,
to
nothing
else
but
our
owne
vnhappinesse
.
It
will
not
therefore
,
I
take
it
,
be
much
amisse
for
any
one
to
aduantage
himselfe
,
so
often
as
he
seeth
occasion
,
by
the
vse
and
practise
of
this
principle
.
In
contracts
of
loue
and
amitie
,
I
could
aduise
euery
man
to
be
alwayes
mindfull
of
that
of
Martial
,
Si
vitare
velis
acerbu
quaedam
,
Et
tristes
animi
cauere
morsus
,
Nulli
te
facias
nimis
sodalem
;
Gaudebis
minus
&
minus
dolebis
.
Who
list
not
taste
of
bitter
discontent
,
But
the
sad
bitings
of
the
minde
preuent
,
Or
at
least
that
he
make
choyce
of
none
to
be
familiarly
acquainted
with
him
,
but
such
as
are
honest
and
vertuous
;
of
such
as
may
delight
him
in
their
conuersation
,
by
reason
of
a
neerenesse
in
manners
,
and
a
likenesse
in
affections
;
or
last
of
all
,
of
such
as
are
able
to
help
him
in
the
managing
of
his
affaires
,
by
their
discreet
and
prouident
directions
,
or
furnish
him
if
neede
require
,
with
supplyes
of
an
other
nature
,
for
the
better
furtherance
of
his
proceedings
.
For
this
indeede
is
that
same
three-fold
base
,
on
which
,
as
Plutarke
sayth
,
all
friendship
must
be
rays'd
,
or
it
will
quickly
faile
.
There
are
some
,
that
in
the
sunny
vp-spring
of
our
fortunes
are
with
the
Swallow
still
at
hand
,
and
ready
as
it
were
to
doe
vs
all
the
seruiceable
offices
they
can
:
but
when
the
winter
of
our
happinesse
doth
once
approach
,
behold
,
they
suddainly
vanish
,
and
grow
strangers
to
vs
in
our
greatest
neede
.
Some
againe
,
as
indeed
,
Tuta
,
frequensque
via
est
,
per
amicifallere
nomen
,
that
will
not
stick
to
protest
their
pure
and
singular
affection
towards
vs
,
when
the
scope
of
all
their
aimes
is
onely
to
deceiue
vs
.
The
Aegyptians
in
their
hieroglyphikes
were
wont
to
shadow
these
forth
by
the
Pye
,
which
is
white
before
,
but
black
behinde
.
And
in
truth
,
as
Triphon
the
Grammarian
sayd
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

,
Quò

With
wealthie
summes
of
gold
what
should
I
doo
,
Vnlesse
I
might
both
haue
,
and
vse
them
too
?
I
likewise
say
of
this
.
To
conclude
,
he
must
be
carefull
,
that
as
his
speech
is
eloquent
,
his
vtterance
be
likewise
pleasing
and
amiable
.
Mercurie
cannot
well
be
separated
from
the
Graces
,
nor
they
from
him
,
but
the
musicall
consent
of
ciuill
Conuersation
will
fall
out
to
be
very
harsh
and
discordant
.
Aboue
all
,
he
must
indeauour
that
his
words
and
countenance
may
seeme
like
parallell
lines
deriued
equally
from
one
Center
,
that
the
reseruednesse
of
the
last
may
not
destroy
the
credit
of
the
former
,
and
make
good
meaning
liable
to
misconstruction
.
In
a
word
,
he
must
in
all
things
be
free
from
affectation
.
There
is
nothing
more
vndecent
in
a
man
,
then
an
ouercurious
obseruance
of
decencie
.
To
intend
the
fashioning
of
an
externall
carriage
&
behauiour
so
much
,
as
to
let
it
passe
into
affectation
,
is
euen
by
the
shallowest
vnderstandings
condemned
as
ridiculous
,
and
accepted
of
all
men
(
to
the
great
disabling
of
his
sufficiencie
that
vseth
it
)
as
a
most
euident
argument
and
proofe
of
weakenesse
and
indiscretion
.
Wherefore
let
him
auoide
all
singularitie
,
both
in
action
,
gesture
,
and
discourse
,
and
so
compose
and
gouerne
himselfe
in
all
such
points
as
appertaine
to
conuersation
;
that
considering
his
care
and
circumspection
in
declining
from
whatsoeuer
is
incongruous
and
absurd
,
that
which
that
Satyrist
sayd
of
Ianus
,
may
deseruedly
be
pronounced
of
him
.
All
such
occasions
being
farre
remooued
,
as
might
any
way
betray
his
credit
,
to
the
traducements
of
a
vulgar
and
illiterate
laughter
.
Lastly
,
Vespasian
got
the
ill
will
of
Nero
by
sleeping
at
his
musicall
recreations
;
whereas
Pamphilus
had
the
loue
of
all
by
obseruing
the
former
.
saith
his
father
,

:
and
hence
he
concludes
,
that
whosoeuer
shal
carry
himself
in
the
like
kind
,

to

deuoted

and
as
I
may
say
,
get
ground
of

obserue
his
nature
and
disposition
;

when
he
hath
discouered
and
found
out

endeuour
,
so
they
be
not
vitious

dishonest

by

to

Let

himselfe
long
from

continually

in

him
feigne

and

only
as

When
Tiberius
with
darke
and
doubtfull
speeches
(
as
his
manner
was
)
did
stil
reiect
the
Empire
from
himselfe
,
Patribus
,
saith
Tacitus
,
vnus
metus
ne
intelligere
viderentur
;
the
Senators
were
afraid
of
nothing
more
,
then
that
he
should
perceiue
they
vnderstood
him
.
Passion
doth
often-times
misleade
the
wisest
,
and
maketh
them
resolue
in
their
distemperature
vpon
the
prosecution
of
many
enterprises
and
attempts
,
which
were
they
followed
and
archieued
,
could
not
but
blacke
and
soyle
the
fairenesse
of
their
reputation
.
Now
here
it
is
the
dutie
of
a
faithfull
and
trusty
seruant
,
howsoeuer
hee
come
by
the
knowledge
of
such
vnripe
determinations
,
whether
by
his
owne
discouery
,
or
his
Maisters
imparting
,
to
oppose
,
and
diuert
him
as
much
as
may
be
from
engaging
himselfe
in
such
proceedings
,
by
letting
him
see
the
hazards

in

that
may
follow

and
this
be

doe
,
not
by
precept

example
;
not
positiuely
,
but
by

and
by

c.

to
censure
his
own
error
in
the
person
of
a
third
;
for
feare
an
honest
contradiction
should
be
reiected
as
a
consoriall
taxation
.
Such
as
are
eleuated
in
estates
,
and
aduanced
aboue
the
pitch
of
ordinary
men
,
to
places
of
dignitie
and
promotion
,
can
not
endure
to
be
controld
in
any
thing
.
Reproofes
are
harsh
to
them
,
and
cleane
against
the
haire
.
Whosoeuer
therefore
would
reforme
them
,
he
must
not
take
the
neerer
way
,
but
the
safer
,
which
is
indeede
by
circumstance
,
by
bouts
,
and
windings
.
For
to
come
bluntly
and
directly
to
the
point
,
might
peraduenture
inferre
suspicion
of
contempt
,
and
want
of
due
respect
towards
their
person
,
in
him
that
doth
it
,
whereby
their
minds
may
be
exasperated
and
incensed
against
him
;
whereas
by
fetching
a
little
compasse
,
and
by
condemning
their
head-strong
and
vnbridled
courses
,
or
commending
the
contrary
,
in
others
,
not
seeming
to
glance
at
any
time
at
what
is
done
by
them
,
he
may
discharge
his
duty
without
feare
of
danger

His
libertie
of

in

cannot
but
receiue
from
them
in
colder
blood
,
a
charitable
and
good
construction

as
may
answere

tending
to
mitigation

doe
either
goe
before

that
the
boldnesse
of
his
reproofes
and
dehortations
,
proceeded
from
no
other
ground
,
then
from
a
dutious
and
obseruant
care
he
had
of
their
securitie
.
For
otherwise
he
hazardeth
himselfe
vpon
the
very

and
that
vainely
,
without
any
good
effect
at

In
matters
that
are
intricate
and
ambiguous
,
and
wherein
his
counsaile
and
aduise
is
asked
,
let
him
be
wary
how
he
doth
proceed
.
For
to
vtter
it
as
a
Maxime
,
or
position
,
whereby
to
equall
the
conceit
and
opinion
of
his
Patron
;
or
by
way
of
Comparison
,
whereby
to
weaken
and
disable
it
,
would
peraduenture
proue
distastefull
,
and
beget
dislike
.
In
the
dissoluing
therefore
of
such
knots
,
and
doubts
,
let
him
abate
and
qualifie
the
strength
and
vigor
of
his
iudgement
,
with
prudent
limitations
and
cautions
,
and
worke
him
,
so
he
know
it
assuredly
to
be
best
,
to
a
gentle
acceptation
of
it
,
not
by
direct
expression
,
but
slye
insinuation
.
For
as

Last
of
all
,
though
he
may
shew
himselfe
desirous
of
imployment
,
and
thinke
it
an
honour
likewise
to
be
imployd
,
yet
must
he
not
in
any
case
voluntarily
and
of
himselfe
make
proffer
of
his
seruice
to
him
:
for
this
were
but
to
question
his
authoritie
,
and
doubt
the
power
which
he
hath
to
command
him
.
Aboue
all
,
let
him
first
in
regard
of
himselfe
,
beware
he
doe
not
thrust
and
obtrude
it
on
him
,
for
feare
acceptance
should
be
thought
a
sufficient
requitall
.
Secondly
,
that
he
obserue
a
gradation
in
the
discouerie
of
his
abilities
,
and
abstaine
from
doing
too
much
at
once
,
for
feare
least
what
is
well
done
might
not
be
throughly
apprehended
.
Thirdly
,
that
he
feele
not
too
soone
the
reward
of
his
vertue
,
whether
it
be
in
commendation
,
honour
,
fauour
,
or
applause
:
for
if
he
seeme
contented
with
a
penie
,
it
will
be
thought
a
prodigall
and
superfluous
thing
to
giue
him
a
pound
.
Men
shape
and
fashion
their
liberalities
according
to
the
minds
and
expectations
of
those
,
on
whom
they
doe
bestow
them
.
Let
him
take
heed
therefore
that
by
seeming
pleased
with
a
little
,
he
giue
them
not
occasion
to
suspect
,
he
was
neuer
vsed
to
more
.
Lastly
,
that
he
doe
not
thrust
himselfe
without
difference
(
whereby
to
publish
and
proclaime
his
owne
deficiencies
)
into
those
imployments
,
for
which
he
is
not
proper
:
It
is
not

Now
where

how
can

?
Yet
here
with

if
either

of
Gods
diuine

had
any
power
to

wee
should
not

Those
vertues
which
only
by
good
discipline
and
education
are
bred
in

,
were
borne
with
him
;
there
is
nothing
within
the
compasse
of
his
Imperiall
bosome
,
that
is
eyther
borrowed
or
feyned
.
Besides
,
there
are
many
others
that
attend
his
Princely
person
,
so
wise
and
heedfull
in
the
effecting
of
their
purposes
;
so
honest
and
religious
in
the
performance
of
their
promises
;
that
their
wordes
and
actions
,
are
euen
the
precepts
,
and
precedents
of
true
Moralitie
.
But
as
in

amidst
the
Angels
,
and
in
the
sight
of
God
himselfe
,
there
haue
bene
Lucifers
;
so
I
wish
that
in
the
circuite
of
great
Britaines
Court
,
there
were
not
likewise
some
,
who
notwithstanding
the
benefite
of
such
examples
,
led
by
the
instigation
of
their
owne
corrupted
&
depraued
wills
,
run
headlong
on
in
many
myery
courses
,
and
are
conscious
to
themselues
,
if
not
of
worse
,
at
least
of
those
fore-named
imputations
:
Some
that
care
not

they

themselues

Weakenesse
of
Vnderstanding
is
thought
the
ground
of
Honestie
;
and
Vpright-dealing
,
the
way
to
Beggerie

But
let
not
him
,
quem

,
be
tainted
with
these
impurities
,
or
worke
for
the
more
compendious

his

,
vpon
such
dispensations
from
the

Let

thinke
it

Let
him
not

himselfe
with
any
hope
,
that
what
he
doth
may
happily
be
concealed
;
for
this
indeede
is
but
a
meere
delusion

Such
is
the
benignitie
of

,
such
now
the
securitie
of

,
that

neede
not

himselfe

not

had
so
excellent
a

iniuries

let

both
them

,
as

who

seeme
to
take

was
entertained

according
to
the

of
an

,
vpon
any

of
gouernment
:
but
after

this

;
Whome
the
Lord
and
this
people
,
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
haue
chosen
for
a
Prince
and
leader
,
to
goe
in
and
out
before
them
,
his
will
I
bee
(
saith
he
)
and
with
him
onely
will
I
dwell
;
Yea
,
looke
what
homage
and
seruice
I
haue
hitherto
performed
to
him
,
the
like
with
more
dutious
respect
will
I
henceforth
render
vnto
thee
.
And
through
this
dexterous
application
of
himselfe
vnto
him
,
he
preuaild
so
farre
,
that
by
discouering
the
plots
and
proiects
of
Ahithopel
,
he
confounded
them
,
secur'd
his
countrie
,
sau'd
his
Maister

So
that
if
we
rightly
weigh
and
consider
the
persons
of
the
author
and
the
actor
of
this
businesse

together
with
the

,

,
and

vpon
which
it
was

as
appeareth
by
the
text
,
expressed
himselfe
to
be
a
fauourer
and
furtherer
of
it
;
I
doe
not
see
how
any
man
can
iustly
censure
,
and
condemne
it
,
as
vnlawfull
,
whereby
the
life
of
either
might
be
thought
worthy
to
be
branded
with
any
marke
of
ignominie
&
reproch
.
For
,
as
I
noted
before
,
there
is
a
difference
betweene
a
publike
Societie
,
and
a
priuate
Familie
,
where
Vertue
is
to
shew
her selfe
alwayes
in
her
owne
likenesse
,
without
any
maske
or
habit
of
delusion
;
whereas
in
the
other

vnlesse

and

,

may

if
not
disguise
her
countenance
;
and
,
so
she
direct
&
intend
her
course
to
the
same
goale
,
run
right
or
byas
as
she
seeth
occasion
.
But
I
will
step
from
hence
vnto
an
other
point
,
which
is
to
be
obserued
in
this
example
,
and
that
is
this
,
That
the
dutie
which
we
owe
vnto
our
King
and
Countrie
,
must
alwayes
be
preserued
and
maintained
with
more
religion
and
respect
,
then
either
life
or
being
.
There
is
infused
and
formed
in
all
things
a
two-fold
imitation
or
propension
to
what
is
good
:
the
one
,
as
euery
particular
is
a
Totall
,
and
essentiall
substance
of
it selfe
;
the
other
,
as
it
is
a
subordinate
part
or
member
to
a
greater
body
,
as
appeareth
plainely
in
those
massier
Elements
,
which
of
their
first
and
inbred
forme
doe
make
the
center
of
the
earth
the
onely
period
of
their
motion
;
yet
rather
then
nature
should
suffer
any
divulsion
,
interruption
,
or
disturbance
in
the
progresse
and
continuance
of
her
course
,
the
water
,
we
see
,
forsaketh
the
center
,
to
which
of
it selfe
it
standeth
affectionate
and
inclinable
,
and
contrary
to
that
inherent
propertie
of
weightie
bodies
,
ascendeth
vpwards
to
relieue
the
world
.
In
a
man
,
vnlesse
he
will
belye
the
author
of
his
creation
,
through
his
degenerate
and
base
proceedings
,
it
is
expressed
and
set
out
in
a
farre
fairer
Character
.
He
must
labour
to
get
good
information
of
such
particulars
as
lye
within
the
compasse
of
that
Clime
,
in
which
hee
doth
reside
;
as
namely
,
of
the
situation
of
the
place
,
the
nature
and
disposition
of
the
people
;
their
lawes
,
customes
,
statutes
,
and
decrees
;
their
manner
of
gouernement
,
as
well
Oeconomicall
as
Politicall
;
their
forces
and
reuenues
;
their
friendes
,
factions
,
and
allyes
;
and
from
thence
descend
to
a
diligent
suruey
of
all
Estates
&
conditions
by
themselues
,
quoting
in
euery
determinate
person
of
more
honoured
ranke
,
his
rules
,
his
principles
,
and
obseruations
;
his
desires
,
endes
,
and
actions
;
last
of
all
,
his
opposites
,
fautors
,
and
competitors
.
For
if
afterwards
occasion
of
enter-course
befall
him
with
any
such
,
hee
shall
by
this
meanes
knowe
how
to
contriue
,
dispose
,
conduct
,
and
manage
the
businesse
to
his
best
aduantage
.
In
compassing
the
first
there
is
no
difficulty
,
if
in
the
choyce
of
his
acquaintance
,
hee
fit
himselfe
with
such
as
are
familiar
and
conuersant
with
those
that
looke
into
the
world
,
and
are
likewise
generally
wel
intelligenced
themselues
in
euery
seueral
kinde
:
&
as
for
the
last
,
it
may
be
easily
effected
,
by
getting
priuacie
&
inwardnes
with
their
enemies
,
friendes
,
or
seruants
,
which
indeed
doe
likely
report
them
truest
of
anie
.
For
the
malice
of
the
first
will
peraduenture
aggrauate
and
make
worse
their
imperfections
,
faultes
,
and
weakenesses
;
the
affection
of
the
second
too
highly
prize
,
it
may
be
,
their
good
deseruings
,
vertues
,
and
abilities
:
whereas
the
last
are
quickly
drawne
and
wonne
,
by
those
that
are
familiar
with
them
,
to
make
a
perfect
and
exact
delineation
both
of
their
worth
and
wants
,
discoursing
of
the
one
with
signes
of
ioy
and
cheerfull
approbation
;
of
the
other
with
shewes
of
griefe
and
sad
commiseration
.
But
if
he
would
vnderstand
their
inclination
from
their
owne
discouery
,
and
knowe
by
sounding
how
well
affected
they
are
vnto
their
owne
established
gouernement
,
if
when
need
required
they
might
not
bee
wrought
to
second
&
assist
his
Soueraigne
,
in
any
enterprise
or
attempt
that
might
be
to
his
profit
and
aduantage
,
he
were
better
proceede
by
way
of
argument
and
reasoning
,
then
direct
enquiry
.
It
is
a
course
of
greater
certainty
,
of
more
security
;
and
such
as
with
no
small
aduantage
and
successe
was
practised
by
Brutus
and
Cassius
,
who
intending
the
deposition
of
Caesar
;
and
hauing
therevpon
inuited
to
a
supper
certaine
of
their
friends
,
did
set
on
foote
the
question
of
killing
an
Vsurper
and
a
Tyrant
,
with
no
other
intent
,
then
to
collect
and
gather
by
the
iudiciall
and
definitiue
arrest
of
each
,
which
of
the
number
present
,
might
best
be
made
associates
with
them
in
the
businesse
:
Or
last
of
all
,
he
may
follow
the
example
of
Germanicus
,
who
when
the
time
was
come
,
that
his
armie
should
confront
the
forces
of
Arminius
,
considered
with
himselfe
in
what
manner
he
might
come
best
to
knowe
,
how
well
prepared
and
resolued
his
soldiers
were
for
that
assault
.
He
knew
it
was
the
fashion
of
the
Tribunes
and
Centurions

Last
night
,
my
friend
,
when
I
did
rashly
say
,
After
Canary
cups
had
drown'd
my
wit
,
Procillus
thou
shalt
sup
with
me
to

;
Thou
thoughtst
,
thou
hadst

perquisit

And
taking
notice
of
my
drunken
words
,
Gau'st

by
such
obseruation
.
Procille
,
I
loathe
the
mate
,
whose
thought
records
A
table-tale
breath'd
in
vnsober
passion
.
findeth
,
that
these
doe
farre
exceede
the
former
,
let
him
refraine
from
altering
any
thing
of
whatsoeuer
is
appointed
him
:
but
if
on
the
other
side
,
the
benefit
outwey
the
detriment
,
I
see
no
reason
why
he
may
not
(
like
wiser
Merchants
,
that
will
not
stick
to
venter
a
little
when
there
is
any
hope
at
all
of
gayning
much
)
somewhat
decline
from
the
precise
and
strict
Mandamus
of
his
prime
and
principall
Motor
,
to
follow
that
which
in
his
owne
discourse
and
iudgement
he
apprehendeth
to
be
far
more
probable
.
Yet
euen
in
this
I
will
aduise
him
to
haue
respect
vnto
the
nature
and
disposition
of
him
,
to
whom
he
doth
retaine
,
and
gouerne
both
himselfe
and
all
his
actions
continually
thereafter
;
because
if
there
be
in
him
that
sowernesse
and
seuerenesse
,
which
is
found
in
many
,
I
would
not
wish
him
to
alter
in
any
point
or
circumstance
the
forme
and
order
which
is
set
him
downe
,
for
feare
least
that
should
happen
vnto
him
,
which
befell
,
as
histories
report
,
a
certain
Enginer
of
Athens
,
to
whom
P.
Crassus
Mutianus
,
during
his
residence
in
Asia
,
sent
for
the
greater
of
the
two
Ship-masts
which
he
had
seene
in
Athens
,
to
make
a
Ramme
thereof
,
wherewith
to
batter
downe
the
walles
of
a
certaine
towne
which
he
intended
to
assault
.
The
Enginer
as
one
well
vnderstood
in
matters
of
that
nature
,
knew
that
the
greater
was
no
way
fit
for
such
a
purpose
;
and
because
the
lesser
might
best
be
carryed
,
and
was
most
conuenient
for
his
turne
,
he
sent
him
that
.
But
Mutianus
perceiuing
how
the
businesse
went
,
commaunded
instantly
he
should
be
brought
before
him
,
and
without
admittance
of
excuses
,
caused
him
to
be
so
cruelly
punished
for
his
disobedience
,
that
he
dyed
.
To
persons
therefore
so
austere
and
sterne
,
he
must
be
alwayes
wonderfull
respectiue
.
They
abhorre
to
be
counsailed
,
when
they
desire
to
be
obeyed
.
It
happeneth
oftentimes
,
that
in
some
cases
,
Fieri
peraduenture
may
bee
vtterly
condemned
,
when
Factum
est
,
may
be
approoued
and
commended
;
as
did
appeare
by
Pompey
,
when
the
Pirate
Moenas
came
vnto
him
,
whil'st
Antonie
and
Caesar
,
vpon
his
inuitation
,
were
feasting
in
his
Gallies
,
and
said
,
Wilt
thou
that
I
cut
the
cables
,
and
in
one
instant
make
thee
Lorde
of
all
the
Romane
Empire
?
Thou
should'st
haue
done
it
,
answered
hee
,
and
not
haue
tolde
me
of
it
,
now
let
vs
content
our selues
with
what
we
haue
;
for
as
for
me
,
I
neuer
learnt
to
falsifie
my
faith
to
any
man
,
or
seeke
my
owne
advancement
in
his
ouerthrowe
,
by
acting
or
consenting
to
disloyall
treaso●
.
So
that
here
he
may
proceede
without
direction
,
if
his
conceite
and
apprehension
can
out
of
the
nature
and
quality
of
the
action
,
rightly
consider
the
conclusion
.
There
are
many
that
could
wish
in
the
distemperature
of
their
passions
some
things
were
done
,
which
if
they
happen
to
bee
done
,
as
Greatnesse
can
neuer
want
those
that
will
seeke

What
literature
and
knowledge
is
required
in
a
man
,
for
the
better
enabling
him
to
vndergoe
all
kindes
of
businesses
whatsoeuer
,
and
effect
them
with
successe
.
THe
imployments
of
a
publike
man
are
of
sundry
kindes
;
&
sometimes
in
the
behalfe
of
his
Prince
,
sometimes
of
himselfe
,
hee
is
to
negotiate
with
men
of
seuerall
callings
and
professions
.
First
therefore
I
thinke
it
meete
hee
should
haue
past
through
all
the
seuerall
Pawnes
of
Secular
and
diuine
knowledge
,
not
parting
thence
(
as
Merchants
vsually
from
faires
,
whose
repaire
thither
,
was
onely
to
learne
the
price
of
things
)
till
such
time
as
he
hath
purchased
to
himself
some
ornament
or
other
.
He
must
taste
of
all
kinde
of
literature
in
generall
,
but
make
the
ancient
Registers
of
former
ages
his
mindes
more

In
confirmation
whereof

I
will
alleage
that
which
hapned

Townes
of
the
world
,
and
the
pride
and
honour
of
their
victories
to
bee
vnworthily
wasted
:
notwithstanding
all
which
,
what
by
reason
of
the
facilitie
of
the
Porte
,
the
factious
and
tumultuous
nature
of
the
people
,
the
fyering
of
it
was
for
the
preuenting
of
future
combustions
throughly
agreed
vpon
:
And
after
that
,
the
Embassadors
were
admitted
,
who
receiuing
(
as
they
thought
)
an
answere
then
which
themselues
could
not
haue
framed
a
better
for
their
contentment
,
which
was
,
That
they
should
retaine
their
Citie
,
with
all
the
Rightes
,
Vsufruites
,
Charters
,
Liberties
,
Priuiledges
,
Immunities
,
&
Prerogatiues
,
which
thitherto
they
had
enioyed
,
return'd
home
with
great
ioy
&
gladnesse
.
But
alas
,
it
was
but
a
Meteor
,
that
suddenly
faded
.
For
presently
after
,
the
charge
of
effecting
their
former
resolution
,
was
by
Commission
delegated
to
the
younger
Scipio
:
who
hastening
towards
Africa
with
a
great
Nauie
,
sent
Censormus
to
receiue
of
them
their
Ships
,
and
three
hundreth
Hostages
:
which
done
,
he
commanded
all
the
inhabitants
of
Carthage
to
auoyde
,
and
prouide
themselues
an
habitation
somewhat
more
discoasted
from
the
Porte
then
it
;
whereat
(
all
astonied
)
they
began
to
shewe
how
the
Senate
had
assured
them
the
safety
of
their
City
:
wherevnto
replie
was
made
,
That
the
faith
which
had
bin
giuen
them
,
should
not
bee
violated
in
the
least
circumstance
,
but
that
their
Citie
was
not
tyed
to
the
place
,
or
to
the
walles
of
Carthage
;
which
though
it
seeme
a
kinde
of
sophysticall
proceeding
,
yet
had
it
Lawe
and
Reason
to
authorize
it
.
The
word
Citie
,
is
a
tearme
that
implyeth
not
any
locall
place
,
as
doth
the
word
Towne
,
which
the
Latins
call
vrh●m
ab
vrb●
,
i.
●ratro
;
because
,
as
Varro
saith
,
the
circuite
,
and
pourpris
of
Townes
was
wont
to
be
traced
out
with
Plough
;
but
it
signifieth
the
right
vniting
and
incorporating
of
sundry
persons
and
families
into
one
bodie
,
vnder
one
iust
and
lawfull
kinde
of
Politie
;
so
that
the
Citie
may
be
sayd
sometimes
to
forsake
the
Towne
.
Non

Respub
.
sayd
Pompey
,
when
after
he
had
drawne
from
Rome
two
hundreth
Senators
,
and
such
as
were
there
besides
of
any
credit
,
or
esteeme
,
he
left
the
walls
to
Caesar
.
Thus
then
were
the
poore
inhabitants
constrained
to
abandon
their
towne
to
the
will
and
pleasure
of
the
Romanes
,
who
perhaps
had
neuer
had
it
so
good
cheape
,
had
their
Embassadors
sooner
vnderstood
the
difference
betweene
Towne
and
Citie
.
There
is
the
like
fault
in
the
treatie
made
betweene
the
two
Cantons
of
Berne
,
and
Friburgh
,
in
the
yeare
one
thousand
fiue
hundreth
and
fiue
,
where
by
the
second
article
it
is
agreed
,
that
,
The
league
betweene
both
Common-wealths
shall
remaine
for
euer
,
and
as
long
as
the
walls
of
either
towne
shall
endure
.
Many
other
fearefull
and
dangerous
falls
haue
at
sundry
times
hapned
vnto
such
as
haue
neglected
the
benefit
of
so
sure
a
stay
;
and
that
with
no
lesse
danger
to
their
Countrie
,
then
discredit
to
themselues
.
Wherefore
I
hold
a
superficiall
knowledge
herein
at
the
least
,
to
be
necessarily
required
in
one
of
publike
place
,
that
both
at
home
and
abroade
he
may
be
the
better
able
to
maintaine
his
own
credit
,
and
his
Countries
safetie
.
A
readie
skilfulnesse
in
neighbour-languages
is
an
ornament
,
that
cannot
any
way
be
wanting
in
him
;
the
attaining
therefore
of
some
perfection
in
them
,
must
of
force
be
made
a
part
of
his
practise
.
He
shall
haue
occasion
oftentimes
to
negotiate
with
strangers
:
to
whom
without
these
aydes
he
cannot
well
impart
himself
,
but
with
much
doubt
and
inconueniencie
.
Lastly
,
he
must
be
very
carefull
,
that
whilst
he
seemeth
a
Patriot
abroade
,
he
be
not
thought
a
stranger
heere
at
home
.
To
talke
of
forraine
nations
,
and
in
some
long
and
wearisome
discourse
to
relate
their
manners
and
their
Customes
,
without
some
knowledge
of
his
owne
,
is
but
as
idle
Chat
;
and
cannot
be
taken
,
but
as
the
symptome
of
a
weake
and
crazie
minde
.
The
vse
of
these
things
is
only
but
for
application
:
they
ought
not
to
be
followed
any
farther
then
they
can
further
vs
in
the
vnderstanding
of
our
owne
.
Let
him
labour
therefore
with
all
diligence
in
the
histories
of
the
kingdome
in
which
he
liueth
,
as
likewise
in
the
lawes
,
decrees
,
and
statutes
of
the
same
;
that
hauing
out
of
them
discouered
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
people
,
the
situation
of
the
Countrie
,
and
how
and
in
what
manner
it
is
gouerned
,
he
may
the
better
imploy
all
other
learning
for
his
best
aduantage
.
CHAP.
IX
.
Of
Negotiation
in
generall
:
wherein
the
seuerall
Characters
of
mens
natures
are
largely
described
;
and
the
meanes
by
which
to
negotiate
with
all
sorts
of
persons
,
is
expressed
to
the
full
.
ALl
practise
consisteth
either
in
working
or
discouering
:
the
last
I
haue
alreadie
touched
;
and
therefore
here
I
will
onely
alleage
(
to
shew
that
howsoeuer
it
be
not
,
because
it
is
of
Indiuiduals
,
comprised
vnder
precept
,
the
knowledge
of
it
may
be
possible
)
that
which
the
light
of
true
Moralitie
hath
assured
vs
;
who
sayth
in
the
twentieth
of
the
Prouerbs
,
That
the
counsaile
in
the
heart
of
man
is
like
deepe
waters
,
but
he
that
hath
vnderstanding
will
draw
it
out
.
And
as
for
the
first
,
I
vnderstand
thereby
,
that
forcible
application
of
persuasiue
arguments
and
allegations
,
by
which
the
parties
with
whom
he
doth
negotiate
,
are
incited
and
induced
to
giue
him
a
full
and
perfect
satisfaction
in
all
his
demaunds
;
which
may
be
easily
effected
,
if
that
which
he
propoundeth
,
haue
any
reference
to
some
wished
for
obiect
of
the
Appetite
or
Will
:
which
as
it
is
referred
vnto
the
end
that
man
desireth
,
differeth
from
that
inferiour
naturall
desire
,
in
that
it
looketh
after
nothing
,
but
what
Reason
and
Vnderstanding
,
or
the
shew
of
Reason
doth
prescribe
;
whereas
the
other
is
neuer
mooued
,
or
delighted
,
but
onely
with
that
good
,
which
is
sensible
and
apparant
.
For
all
other
goodnesse
whatsoeuer
,
doth
but
weakely
prouoke
it
;
and
therefore
many
things
are
neglected
,
which
are
most
pretious
,
only
because
themselues
are
,
as
it
were
,
the
graues
and
sepulchers
of
their
owne
worth
and
value
.
Men
are
hardly
wrought
to
any
thing
,
which
they
conceit
not
to
be
either
good
,
profitable
,
or
pleasant
.
He
must
of
necessitie
therefore
make
these
the
grounds
of
his
perswasion
;
and
hauing
formerly
obserued
the
humours
,
passions
,
and
inclinations
of
his
Auditors
,
apply
them
with
such
fitnesse
in
regard
of
Circumstance
,
that
when
he
speaketh
,
his
discourse
may
seeme
in
all
things
to
answere
their
desire
,
and
be
generally
accepted
,
approued
,
and
embraced
,
without
examination
,
discussion
,
or
opposition
.
Suae
quisque
inuentionifauet
,
The
younger
sort
are
both
incontinent
&
vnconstant
,
changeable
in
their
Affections
,
and
soone
distaste
what
they
did
earnestly
desire
.
Their
Passions
are
violent
for
the
time
,
but
they
doe
quickly
vanish
:
their
Wills
are
like
the
hunger
and
thirst
of
sickly
persons
,
wonderfull
sharp
,
but
of
no
long
continuance
.
They
are
exceeding
prone
to
anger
,
impatient
of
iniuries
,
vnapt
to
swallow
base
indignities
,
and
alwayes
more
ambitious
then
couetous
.
They
care
not
for
looking
after
profit
,
because
they
neuer
tasted
of
bitter
want
.
Mallce
and
subtile
craft
are
like
strangers
,
altogether
vnacquainted
with
their
bosomes
:
they
haue
not
yet
proceeded
in
the
schoole
of
worldly
wisedome
,
and
are
therefore
ignorant
,
plaine
,
and
simple
.
They
are
easie
of
beliefe
,
and
credulous
,
as
hauing
not
beene
often
entangled
with
the
sophisticall
proceedings
of
base
deceit
.
The
greatest
prop
whereon
they
rest
their
life
,
is
Hope
of
future
accidents
:
which
notwithstanding
it
emboldeneth
their
mindes
,
and
maketh
them
constant
,
layeth
them
open
,
and
vnfenced
,
to
treacherous
and
slye
inuasion
.
They
are
shamefaste
,
modest
,
and
withall
magnanimous
.
In
matters
of
action
they
alwayes
prefer
honestie
before
gaine
.
It
is
Vertue
that
guideth
them
,
and
not
Discourse
;
which
argueth
profit
to
be
the
onely
aime
and
scope
of
the
intention
.
They
delight
in
mirth
and
laughter
,
and
are
by
reason
thereof
exceeding
studious
of
acquaintance
,
and
continually
making
of
appointments
for
publike
meetings
.
As
their
actions
are
boundlesse
,
so
are
their
affections
:
whether
they
hate
or
loue
,
or
whatsoeuer
they
doe
,
they
passe
the
bounds
of
measure
and
proportion
.
Their
eyes
are
full
of
pittie
,
and
their
hearts
are
stored
with
compassion
,
at
the
sight
,
or
hearing
of
an
other
mans
misfortunes
,
and
disasters
;
because
that
measuring
him
by
their
owne
simplicitie
,
they
thinke
him
altogether
vnworthie
of
his
sufferings
.
Old
men
are
in
a
manner
of
a
cleane
contrary
inclination
.
For
hauing
by
reason
of
their
yeares
,
and
long
experience
,
discouered
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
vnder
the
Sunne
is
vanitie
,
and
liable
to
chaunce
,
they
will
not
vtter
their
opinion
positiuely
in
any
thing
,
but
vnder-value
euery
thing
more
then
is
requisite
or
conuenient
.
Their
discourse
is
alwayes
limited
with
doubts
,
and
suppositions
,
and
enterlaced
with
Peraduentures
,
It
may
bees
,
or
other
such
like
tearmes
of
Moderation
;
so
whatsoeuer
they
propound
,
they
adhere
to
nothing
.
They
are
for
the
most
part
left-handded
(
that
is
to
say
)
malicious
,
and
apt
to
conster
all
things
to
the
worst
sense
.
Their
hardnes
of
beliefe
doth
furnish
them
with
matter
of
suspition
;
and
the
knowledge
they
haue
of
worldly
policie
,
doth
authorize
their
incredulity
.
Their
desires
are
lightly
of
a
lowe-built-roofe
,
and
looke
but
onely
after
those
things
that
may
serue
for
the
preseruation
of
their
life
and
being
.
Hence
it
is
,
because
riches
are
of
the
same
ranke
and
liuery
,
as
likewise
,
because
they
are
not
ignorant
that
the
wasting
of
wealth
and
substance
is
easie
,
but
the
purchase
of
it
hard
and
difficult
,
they
are
in
their
expence
so
niggardly
&
sparing
,
that
Plantus
quoteth
it
as
a
wonder
to
see
an
old
man
bountifull
,
Benigni●as
huius
sicut
adolescentuli
est
.
They
are
seldome
valiant
,
but
cowardly
and
full
of
feare
:
which
as
Philosopers
affirme
,
is
occasioned
by
the
coldnes
of
their
temper
.
For
feare
is
nothing
else
but
a
frigiditie
,
or
(
as
I
may
say
)
priuation
of
that
vigorous
heate
,
which
doth
enflame
the
bloods
of
younger
men
,
and
makes
them
carelesse
both
of
death
and
danger
.
They
delight
in
accusations
and
contentions
,
which
is
likewise
a
branche
of
Pusillanimitie
;
and
where
there
is
hope
of
gaine
,
they
make
no
scruple
to
dispence
with
honestie
,
not
caring
for
the
breath
of
rumour
and
reporte
.
Their
owne
timiditie
,
together
with
a
long
continued
obseruation
of
the
mutability
of
worldly
businesses
,
and
their
frequent
interruptions
and
miscarriages
,
doth
make
them
weake
and
feeble
in
their
hopes
and
expectations
.
They
be
wondrous
talkatiue
,
and
loue
to
heare
the
stories
of
Antiquity
,
especially
such
as
haue
hapned
within
the
reuolution
of
their
owne
time
,
and
wherein
themselues
haue
peraduenture
beene
as
Ministers
and
Agents
.
They
are
apt
enough
to
sympathize
with
others
in
matters
of
griefe
,
and
tenderly
to
bemone
the
wretchednes
of
their
condition
:
but
this
their
Commiseration
is
not
the
same
with
that
of
younger
men
.
For
the
ground
of
it
in
these
is
courtesie
and
humanity
,
but
in
those
weakenesse
and
imbecility
.
They
see
their
owne
estate
enuironed
on
euery
side
with
dangers
and
inconueniences
,
and
therefore
pittie
others
,
because
themselues
are
likely
to
endure
the
like
.
They
are
somewhat
froward
,
querelous
,
and
peeuish
,
apt
to
take
exceptions
at
any
thing
;
and
withall
,
to
checke
&
contradict
all
courses
,
but
such
as
their
owne
experience
hath
established
,
as
Principles
and
infallible
Maximes
.
Now
those
of
middle
age
,
are
as
the
meane
betweene
these
two
extreames
,
and
doe
alike
participate
of
both
.
They
are
neither
ouer-bolde
,
nor
ouer-fearfull
;
but
holde
indifferently
with
either
.
They
are
not
incredulous
of
all
things
,
but
shape
their
iudgement
according
to
the
rule
of
truth
.
They
are
not
sparing
,
nor
yet
prodigall
,
but
cut
their
garment
according
to
their
cloth
,
and
at
all
times
accommodate
their
disbursements
,
and
layings
out
,
to
the
quantitie
and
proportion
of
their
yearely
commings
in
.
Their
modestie
is
backt
continually
with
valour
,
and
their
valour
neuer
but
seconded
with
modesty
:
both
which
in
youth
and
age
are
vtterly
disioyned
.
For
young
men
are
valiant
,
but
immodest
;
old
men
are
modest
,
but
exceeding
timorous
.
And
to
conclude
all
in
one
word
,
looke
whatsoeuer
is
commendable
in
either
of
the
other
two
,
being
considered
apart
and
by
themselues
,
is
seeldome
wanting
in
this
:
but
whatsoeuer
sauoureth
either
of
excesse
,
or
of
deficiencie
in
them
,
is
but
fit
and
moderate
in
these
.
The
Poet
,
as
appeareth
by
the
verses
following
,
hath
reduced
these
differences
into
a
briefer

he
how
his
money
he
bestowe
:
Haughty
he
is
,
and
full
of
hot
desire
,
Ready
to
leaue
,
what
loue
did
erst
require
.
By
studies
opposite
the
manly
minde
Doth
labour
hard
,
both
wealth
and
friends
to
finde
,
He
serues
for
honour
,
and
doth
take
great
heede
Of
doing
ought
,
which
hee
to
change
had
neede
.
The
olde
man
seekes
,
yet
like
a
wretch
abstaines
,
And
dares
not
taste
the
sweetnes
of
his
paines
;
He
gouernes
all
things
coldly
,
and
with
feare
,
And
in
performance
sluggish
doth
appeare
;
Puts
busines
off
,
with
doubts
and
strange
delayes
,
And
on
his
hopes
makes
long
and
tedious
stayes
.
To
know
things
future
greedily
he
longs
,
Froward
,
peruerse
,
complaining
still
of
wrongs
;
Commends
the
times
which
hee
a
childe
did
viewe
,
And
will
be
Censurer
of
the
younger
Crewe
.
Now
this
which
hath
hitherto
beene
spoken
,
may
serue
as
a
light
,
whereby
to
discouer
the
rest
of
those
inherent
properties
and
impressions
,
which
by
reason
of
these
differences
and
mixtures
,
are
daily
stamped
in
the
minde
of
man
;
as
likewise
by
the
temperature
of
the
ayre
,
in
which
they
liue
,
and
the
nature
of
the
heauen
,
vnder
which
they
breathe
;
from
whence
S.
Paul
did
reason
and
conclude
,
that
those
of
Crete
were
with
sharpnes
and
seuerity
of
discipline
to
be
reprooued
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
&c.
The
Cretanes
are
alwaies
Lyars
,
euill
beasts
,
slowe
bellyes
;
Rebuke
them
sharply
.
So
that
now
I
will
passe
from
these
,
and
speake
of
such
as
are
externe
,
and
bred
but
by
the
accesse
of
some
vnlookt-for
fortune
.
Such
is
the
composition
of
mens
internall
affections
,
that
the
nobler
they
grow
,
the
more
ambitious
they
become
.
For
there
is
none
but
desireth
alwayes
to
adde
somewhat
to
his
first
acquist
,
and
to
enlarge
the
heape
by
new
supplyes
,
and
fresh
accumulations
.
Plus
vitrà
is
the
soule
of
all
their
Emblemes
and
deuises
.
They
loue
not
any
should
be
praysed
or
commended
but
themselues
,
and
are
apt
withall
to
traduce
the
worth
and
good
deseruing
of
such
as
are
like
their
Ancestors
.
For
those
things
which
haue
beene
wrought
and
effected
long
agone
,
are
farre
more
honourable
,
and
affoord
more
matter
for
ostentation
,
then
those
which
were
of
late
atchieued
;
so
that
the
relation
of
them
,
should
it
passe
without
some
contradiction
,
or
embasement
of
their
price
,
might
peraduenture
they
thinke
obscure
and
dimme
the
lustre
of
their
owne
.
Such
manners
,
customes
,
and
inclinations
as
attend
on
riches
may
easily
be
discerned
.
They
that
are
owners
of
neuer
so
little
quantitie
,
are
for
the
most
part
proud
,
and
contumelious
;
They
stand
as
highly
conceited
of
themselues
,
as
if
they
had
in
their
possession
where
with
to
purchase
the
fee-simple
of
the
whole
world
.
For
riches
are
indeede
the
price
of
whatsoeuer
else
is
existent
in
this
earthly
Globe
,
and
by
them
alone
the
dignitie
thereof
is
valued
and
esteemed
.
They
are
daintie
,
and
doe
arrogate
much
vnto
themselues
:
the
first
,
to
expresse
by
way
of
boasting
those
pleasures
,
and
that
happinesse
which
they
enioy
;
this
other
,
because
that
all
men
doe
hunt
and
follow
after
that
which
they
themselues
adore
with
loue
and
admiration
.
They
are
seldome
greatly
troubled
with
iniuries
or
indignities
,
because
the
number
of
those
that
stand
in
neede
of
their
helpe
is
in
euery
Towne
and
Citie
very
great
.
They
challenge
to
themselues
precedencie
of
most
men
,
and
thinke
that
by
reason
of
their
great
abundance
they
should
be
lords
and
rulers
ouer
all
,
which
indeede
they
are
.
For
as
the
Oracle
of
heauenly
wisedome
hath
assured
vs
,
The
rich
ruleth
the
poore
,
and
the
borrower
is
no
better
then
a
seruant
to
him
that
lendeth
.
But
heere
wee
must
obserue
,
that
the
manners
and
behauiour
of
such
as
haue
attained
to
some
eminent
promotion
but
of
late
and
on
the
suddaine
,
and
theirs
that
haue
enioyed
their
glory
,
and
their
large
possessions
a
longer
season
,
are
very
differing
one
from
the
other
.
All
euils
are
more
,
and
in
a
higher
degree
of
euill
in
them
,
then
in
the
latter
.
For
this
same
suddaine
flowe
and
encrease
of
fortune
doth
so
seldome
better
the
disposition
,
that
as
Tacitus
reporteth
,
Curt.

Last
of
all
,
there
is
a
difference
in
manners
,
which
proceedeth
onely
from
a
difference
in
nouriture
and
education
.
And
this
was
well
expressed
by
Lycurgus
,
when
in
the
presence
of
all
the
Lac●daemonians
he
brought
forth
two
Grey-hounds
,
both
of
one
breeding
,
though
not
of
one
bringing
vp
,
and
set
before
them
a
pot
of
Pottage
,
and
a
Hare
;
which
was
no
sooner
on
foote
,
but
that
which
had
beene
formerly
accustomed
to
the
field
,
did
streightway
vndertake
it
,
and
forgot
the
gruell
to
pursue
the
game
;
whereas
the
other
that
had
beene
alwayes
a
Tenant
to
the
Kitchin
,
as
nothing
moou'd
with
that
inticement
,
fell
closely
to
his
lap
.
All
men
are
eyther
ignorant
,
and
rusticall
,
or
ingenuous
and
liberall
;
the
first
are
,
as
the
Italian
calleth
them
,
humanate
bestie
,
such
,
as
by
reason
of
that
small
proportion
of
vnderstanding
which
is
in
them
,
care
not
but
to
satisfie
their
sensuall
appetites
,
and
are
wonne
to
nothing
which
is
not
either
profitable
or
pleasant
.
Since
all
men
therefore
doe
approue
that
speech
which
hath
the
neerest
affinitie
and
resemblance
with
themselues
,
and
which
is
fittest
accommodated
to
the
priuate
motions
and
propensions
of
their
owne
humours
and
inclinations
,
I
shall
not
neede
to
furnish
him
with
any
other
precept
,
or
instruction
,
but
onely
this
,
That
he
varie
his
Rhetoricall
proofes
,
inductions
and
perswasions
,
according
to
the
nature
and
disposition
of
his
Auditors
;
vt
quaelibet
eorum
diuersa
genera
per
plures
dicendi
species
teneat
.
Orpheus
in
syluis
,
inter
Delphinas
Arion
.
For
without
this
voluble
and
winding
application
,
he
may
well
write
or
speake
,
but
he
shall
neuer
be
able
to
preuaile
.
To
negotiate
with
men
by
letters
,
vnlesse
in
cases
wherein
he
would
aduantage
himselfe
by
the
reply
,
is
dangerous
,
vncertaine
,
and
inconuenient
.
First
,
because
in
them
he
layeth
himselfe
more
open
to
their
Vnderstanding
,
then
in
ordinarie
Conference
,
in
which
his
words
are
altogether
Cursorie
,
and
cannot
possibly
be
marked
,
or
considered
,
but
by
glimpses
,
and
in
passage
.
Secondly
,
because
they
doe
oftentimes
miscarrie
,
and
by
reason
of
that
,
may
many
wayes
prooue
hurtfull
and
preiudiciall
.
Lastly
,
because
they
are
subiect
to
distorsions
,
wrestings
,
deprauations
,
and
inconstructions
.
It
is
better
to
deale
with
men
by
Attornie
,
then
in
person
:
for
so
shall
he
drawe
all
things
on
the
suddaine
and
without
premeditation
from
them
;
but
himselfe
get
time
to
deliberate
and
thinke
vpon
the
businesse
,
and
returne
their
words
that
answere
,
which
is
most
conuenient
for
his
owne
turne
:
besides
,
if
the
partie
that
is
imployed
be
wise
,
and
well
experienced
in
matters
of
the
world
,
many
articles
and
couenants
may
be
vnder-hand
agreed
vpon
,
which
himselfe
if
after-occasions
shall
discouer
the
performance
of
them
to
be
cumbersome
,
may
disavow
,
as
hauing
past
without
his
knowledge
and
approbation
;
and
so
finde
meanes
to
free
himselfe
from
inconueniences
,
by
making
his
startings
and
departures
to
his
owne
advantage
.
But
these
Revocatorie
proceedings
in
matters
wherevnto
his
iudgement
,
by
the
intercession
of
a
third
,
hath
formerly
consented
,
are
but
sophisticall
and
deceitfull
Elenches
;
yea
,
such
as
cannot
be
practised
without
dishonestie
and
soyle
of
reputation
.
And
now
will
I
passe
from
this
,
to
come
to
that
,
which
is
more
particular
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
the
seuerall
kindes
of
Negotiation
,
viz:
the
Iudiciall
,
Deliberatiue
,
and
Demonstratiue
:
their
seuerall
vses
,
natures
and
proprieties
.
WHatsoeuer
is
the
subiect
or
occasion
of
Entercourse
,
and
Debatement
,
is
either
Iudiciall
,
Deliberatiue
or
Demonstratiue
.
The
first
consisteth
in
accusing
,
and
defending
,
in
demaunding
,
and
denying
;
and
comprehendeth
vnder
it
all
such
speeches
as
are
either
Conquestorie
,
Expostulatorie
,
or
Refutatorie
:
The
second
in
exhorting
and
dehorting
,
and
compriseth
such
as
are
Gratulatorie
,
Complementall
,
or
Officious
:
The
third
and
last
is
altogether
exercised
in
praysing
and
dispraysing
,
and
containeth
in
it
such
as
are
Petitorie
,
Commenda●orie
,
Deprecatorie
,
Consolatorie
,
Obiurgatorie
,
and
the
like
.
So
that
nothing
is
at
any
time
in
question
or
controuersie
betweene
man
and
man
,
but
it
may
well
be
referred
to
some
one
of
these
.
And
therefore
hauing
once
discouered
to
what
kinde
of
cause
,
the
matter
which
he
is
to
treate
of
,
be
it
by
letter
,
by
personall
conference
,
or
howsoeuer
,
doth
naturally
belong
,
he
may
straightway
know
to
what
Topikes
,
heads
,
and
common-places
he
should
repaire
for
arguments
,
examples
and
inductions
,
with
other
such
preparatorie
store
,
wherewith
to
strengthen
,
and
corroborate
his
plea.
Roscius
non
occidit
patrem
,
is
a
question
Coniecturall
Iudiciall
,
and
is
therefore
handled
in
places
proper
thereunto
,
viz.
Voluntate
&
Facultate
:
that
Roscius
had
neither
the
will
to
doe
it
,
nor
the
meanes
.
Besides
,
the
finall
ayme
,
and
scope
of
all
his
speech
will
hereby
easily
appeare
.
For
not
to
stand
vpon
the
generall
ends
thereof
,
which
are
either
Gnosticall
,
and
haue
in
them
a
plaine
and
open
exhortation
,
either
to
Action
or
Imitation
,
as
appeareth
in
the
Demonstratiue
,
from
whence
we
slide
to
the
Deliberatiue
;
or
Practicall
,
when
any
thing
is
expresly
commaunded
,
as
hapneth
oft
in
this
and
the
Iudiciall
;
I
will
onely
handle
those
that
are
more
speciall
,
as
namely
the
person
of
the
Orator
,
the
person
of
the
Auditor
,
and
the
qualitie
of
the
thing
:
For
in
euery
seuerall
kinde
,
these
three
must
with
singular
discretion
and
aduertisement
,
be
well
considered
.
In
the
Iudiciall
it
is
the
dutie
of
an
Orator
to
act
the
Plaintife
,
or
Defendant
;
the
part
of
a
Iudge
to
put
on
the
habit
of
Mildnes
,
or
Seueritie
;
and
the
propertie
of
the
Thing
to
be
iust
,
or
vniust
;
lawfull
,
or
vnlawfull
.
In
the
Deliberatiue
the
Speaker
must
altogether
perswade
or
disswade
;
the
hearer
,
either
hope
,
or
feare
;
and
the
thing
it selfe
make
shew
of
profit
,
or
of
detriment
.
In
the
Demonstratiue
,
the
first
must
praise
or
dispraise
;
the
second
be
somewhat
delighted
with
what
is
spoken
;
and
the
last
seeme
good
and
honest
,
or
of
a
contrarie
graine
.
And
thus
much
of
their
ends
.
Now
will
I
delineate
and
describe
in
a
more
exact
and
pe●fect
manner
the
state
of
euery
seuerall
kinde
,
and
first
of
that
which
is
Iuridicall
.
It
is
entituled
by
Rhetoricians
Status
qualitatis
,
a
State
of
qualitie
,
because
in
it
the
nature
of
the
fact
is
examined
,
sifted
,
and
defyned
,
whether
it
partake
with
Equitie
,
or
Vniustice
;
as
likewise
because
in
it
the
question
for
the
most
part
is
de
iure
:
And
it
is
twofolde
,
viz.
of
the
time
past
,
and
a
thing
alreadie
done
,
which
indeed
is
properly
that
State
,
which
we
surname
Iuridicall
;
or
of
the
time
to
come
,
and
whether
a
thing
may
iustly
be
done
,
or
no
;
which
kinde
of
Constitution
we
call
Negoti●ll
.
The
Iudiciall
state
is
likewise
twofolde
;
Absolute
,
when
without
assuming
any
thing
for
the
confirming
,
or
approuing
of
what
is
done
,
we
pronounce
by
some
direct
Enunciation
,
it
is
rightly
done
:
or
Assumptiue
,
when
we
lay
hold
on
some
externall
ignorant
and
vnlearned
are
oftentimes
more
moued
with
contumelies
and
disgraces
,
then
with
whatsoeuer
is
honest
or
vpright
.
Comparisons
,
in
regarde
that
something
may
be
honest
,
easie
,
profitable
,
and
commodious
in
a
higher
degree
then
others
;
yea
,
they
may
seeme
full
often
to
encounter
,
as
where
in
Sophocles
,
Ismene
and
Antigone
,
consulting
about
the
buriall
of
their
brother
;
the
one
respected
onely
honesty
,
the
other
,
nothing
but
security
,
and
the
obedience
of
the
Magistrate
.
Last
of
all
,
Affects
and
Motions
,
but
especially
in
matters
of
some
moment
and
importance
.
Your
Ancestors
,
(
saith
Tullie
,
)
in
his
oration
for
Manilius
,
haue
often
waged
warres
to
reuenge
those
iniuries
and
indignities
,
which
haue
bene
offered
to
their
Merchants
&
their
Mariners
.
How
then
ought
you
to
be
affected
after
the
bloudië
massacre
of
so
many
thousand
Romane
Citizens
,
&c:
where
all
the
foure
doe
manifestly
concurre
,
(
viz:
)
the
Example
,
the
Comparison
,
the
Opposition
,
and
the
Motion
.

Of
the
Demonstratiue
,
where
are
likewise
showne
the
seuerall
kindes
thereof
,
together
with
the

how
to
enforce
and
presse
them
for
aduantage

THE
Demonstratiue
is
so
entituled
,
because
that
in
it
the
vertues
and
the
vices
of
a
man
are
plainely
showne
.
Or
because
in
this
kinde
Rhetoricians
doe
most
of
all
lay
open
&
vnfold
the
chiefest
ornaments
and
flowers
of
their
eloquence
:
by
reason
whereof
,
it
may
bewell
suspected
to
be
somewhat
the
more
sophysticall
.
Cicero
calleth
it
exornati●nem
,
a
kinde
of
beautifying
;
and
Plato
will
haue
it
nothing
else
,
Glorie
not
in
sumptuous
rayments
,
but
let
thy
whole
delight
bee
in
the
lawe
of
the
Lorde
,
is
a
sentence
,
which
containeth
in
it
instruction
,
counsaile
,
and
direction
;
whereas
,
in
saying
by
way
of
instance
,
That
he
gloried
not
in
sumptuous
rayments
,
but
his
whole
delight
was
in
the
law
of
the
Lorde
;
we
doe
(
but
as
it
were
)
encomiastically
expound
the
sense
and
meaning
of
the
first
.
Whosoeuer
therefore
would
commend
,
let
him
see
what
he
would
command
;
if
command
,
let
him
see
what
he
would
commend
,
as
a
thing
in
manners
decent
and
conuenient
.
This
Demonstratiue
kinde
of
speeche
is
either
serious
,
as
in
the
praising
of
Enagoras
,
in
Isocrates
;
or
sportfull
,
and
for
merriment
,
as
that
of
the
Flie
in
Lucian
.
The
subiect
thereof
is
threefold
.
For
all
praises
are
either
of
persons
,
of
deedes
and
atchiuements
,
or
last
of
all
,
of
things
corporeall
and
incorporeall
.
The
handling
of
the
first
is
either
Naturall
,
or
Artificiall
.
Naturall
,
when
following
the
course
of
time
,
we
make
a
direct
enumeration
and
recitall
of
all
such
worthy
accidents
,
and
remarkable
points
and
passages
,
as
may
haue
happened
from
the
day
of
a
mans
birth
,
to
the
houre
of
his
buriall
.
Artificiall
,
when
wee
mingle
and
confound
them
;
or
when
by
logicall
diuisions
and
distributions
we
referre
them
to
certaine
heads
;
as
to
the
goods
of
the
minde
,
of
the
bodie
,
or
of
Fortune
;
or
thirdly
,
when
we
climbe
vp
from
the
lesser
to
the
greater
,
or
slide
downe
from
the
greater
to
the
lesser
:
or
last
of
all
,
when
small
things
are
enterueined
with
great
;
things
darke
and
obscure
,
with
such
as
are
cleare
,
manifest
,
and
apparant
;
those
which
are
altogither
incredible
,
with
such
as
are
somewhat
probable
.
Examples
we
haue
of
euery
kinde
;
of
the
persons
in
Demosthenes
,
Isocra●es
,
Theoc●●tus
,
and
diuers
others
,
who
by
Epitaphes
,
by
Panegyrikes
,
and
such
like
Epideicticall
discourses
,
haue
published
vnto
the
world
the
good
deseruings
of
sundry
men
:
Of
the
deedes
,
in
that
Thankes-giuing
of
the
Israelites
to
God
for
their
deliuerance
,
Exod:
15.
as
likewise
in
many
places
of
profane
Authors
.
Of
things
themselues
,
in
Tullie's
booke
De
Senecture
,
where
Pleasure
is
vtterly
condemned
,
and
Husbandry
abundantly
commended
;
besides
,
in
the
11.
of
the
Hebrues
,
where
the
blessed
Apostle
S.
Paul
hauing
defined
the
nature
and
the
property
of
Faith
.
propounds
vnto
them
an
Encomiasticall
description
of
the
vertue
,
power
,
and
efficacie
thereof
;
and
so
in
seuerall
places
.
But
for
the
auoyding
of
all
such
inconueniences
,
as
may
happen
in
the
handling
of
this
kinde
,
wee
must
first
of
all
obserue
an
omission
,
or
at
least
a
speedy
expedition
,
and
dispatch
of
whatsoeuer
may
proue
distastefull
and
vnsauoury
in
the
vtterance
;
or
secondly
,
wee
must
colour
and
disguise
it
with
some
faire
pretence
:
which
like
Ceruse
,
or
some
other
more
artificiall
beauty
,
may
serue
to
shadowe
whatsoeuer
is
eyther
wrinkled
or
deformed
:
as
where
Isocrates
in
his
Helenes
Encomio
relateth
,
that
shee
was
not
stolne
by
Paris
from
her
husband
,
for
any
lust
or
wanton
pleasure
,
but
by
the
prouocation
of
an
ambitious
desire
,
which
he
had
to
be
made
and
called
the
kins-man
of
Iupiter
.
On
the
contrary
,
hee
that
dispraiseth
any
thing
,
will
willingly
make
vse
of
nothing
but
of
defamatory
traducements
and
reproches
:
and
howsoeuer
,
now
and
then
hee
make
some
recapitulation
of
such
vertues
and
abilities
,
as
are
so
manifest
and
apparant
to
the
world
,
that
he
cannot
,
as
he
would
,
without
some
preiudice
conceale
them
;
yet
notwithstanding
hee
will
be
sure
neuer
to
propound
them
but
with
some
dash
,
that
shall
obscure
and
blemish
them
,
as
in
this
,
Caesar
fuit
fortissimus
,
pationtissimus
,
Clementissimus
:
where
,
in
a
most
ingenuous
and
friendly
manner
,
the
Author
seemeth
to
acknowledge
and
confesse
those
extraordinary
parts
and
vertues
,
which
were
so
eminent
in
Caesar
,
that
the
smothering
of
them
would
peraduenture
haue
argued
and
convinced
him
to
be
both
enuious
and
malicious
:
but
that
same
,
Haec
omnia
regni
causâ
,
commeth
in
the
rereward
,
and
darkeneth
all
.
But
I
cannot
indeed
approue
of
this
.
For
it
is
but
an
adulterate
kinde
of
skill
,
yea
such
as
is
altogether
disauowed
by
Vertue
and
Moralitie
.
Aristotle
hath
condemned
such
as
are
fauourers
of
it
,
as
hauing
no
other
end
,
then
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
destroy
that
which
is
good
,
by
mingling
it
with
what
is
bad
.
And
indeed
what
is
it
else
,
then
with
that
enuious
emie
in
the
Gospell
,
superseminare
zizaniam
&
abire
,
Ego
ille
sum
,
qui
scelera
committi
vetem
:
I
onely
propound
it
as
a
meanes
of
Discouery
.
Last
of
all
,
wee
must
first
knowe
,
concerning
this
Demo●stratiue
kinde
of
speeche
,
that
in
a
drie
and
barren
subiect
,
plura
tractantur
accessoria
,
quàm
rei
propria
;
a
man
may
drawe
in
many
things
,
which
are
not
altogether
proper
,
or
peculiar
;
and
by
way
of
digression
discourse
of
sundry
matters
,
which
carry
but
a
side
respect
vnto
the
thing
in
hand
.
And
hence
it
was
,
that
Gorgias
peraduenture
did
boaste
,
he
neuer
wanted
whereof
to
speake
.
For
if
Achilles
(
for
example
sake
)
were
at
any
time
to
bee
commended
,
the
praises
of
Peleus
,
Aeacus
,
and
Iupiter
,
would
likewise
follow
.
Secondly
,
That
Opinion
,
Conceite
,
or
Commendation
,
may
supplie
the
roome
and
place
of
Exhortation
,
and
Perswasion
:
as
when
we
praise
a
Childe
,
or
any
other
,
for
doing
that
,
which
we
desire
to
haue
them
doe
;
as
likewise
in
that
of
Demosthenes
,
I
beleeue
(
saith
he
)
Athenians
,
that
you
more
esteeme
the
glorie
of
your
Countrie
,
then
any
wealth
,
or
treasure
whatsoeuer
:
which
is
a
figuratiue
and
cunning
kind
of
aggression
,
and
such
as
may
lawfully
be
practised
,
and
with
good
successe
.
It
is
easie
for
euery
man
liuing
to
erre
,
but
so
hard
to
wrest
from
any
mans
mouth
a
plaine
acknowledgement
of
error
,
that
what
hath
once
beene
vnaduisedly
resolued
vpon
,
the
same
is
commonly
persisted
in
,
as
long
as
wit
,
by
whetting
it selfe
,
is
able
to
finde
out
any
shift
,
be
it
neuer
so
slight
,
whereby
to
escape
the
hands
of
present
Contradiction
.
Thirdly
,
that
in
all
things
there
be
kept
a
true
decorum
,
and
a
comelinesse
,
and
that
hauing
regard
vnto
the
Auditor
,
nothing
be
vttered
,
but
what
is
honourable
and
gracious
.
And
thus
far
of
this
.
I
will
now
come
vnto
those
parts
of
speech
,
which
are
necessarily
required
for
the
better
handling
and
enforcing
of
each
seuerall
kinde
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
Of
the
seuerall
partes
,
whereof
all
speeches
doe
consist
,
whether
they
be
Iudiciall
,
Deliberatiue
,
or
Demonstratiue
,
and
of
diuers
points
which
are
essentiall
to
the
well
composing
of
each
.
THe
seuerall
parts
whereof
all
speeches
,
whether
Iudiciall
,
Deliberatiue
,
or
Demonstratiue
doe
vsually
consist
,
are
sixe
,
viz.
the
Exordium
,
the
Narration
,
the
Proposition
,
the
Confirmation
,
the
Refutation
,
the
Peroration
,
or
Conclusion
.
The
Exordium
is
properly
that
part
,
by
which
the
minde
of
whosoeuer
is
the
Auditor
,
is
made
fit
&
willing
to
embrace
the
sequele
.
Tullie
calleth
it
vestibulum
&
aditum
ad
causam
,
an
entrance
or
portall
into
the
cause
.
And
it
is
direct
and
manifest
,
as
when
by
open
and
perspicuous
motiues
we
doe
incite
the
hearer
to
attention
;
or
it
is
winding
and
oblique
,
as
when
by
bouts
and
circuits
we
labour
couertly
to
surprize
him
.
The
Greekes
haue
termed
this
an
Incantation
,
the
Latines
an
Insinuation
.
It
was
practised
with
no
meane
successe
by
Sinon
,
when
being
brought
before
king
Priamus
,
he
did
endeauour
by
a
true
confession
of
some
things
in
the
beginning
,
to
make
the
better
passage
for
those
treacherous
lyes
,
which
he
intended
should
follow
after
.
Cuncta
equidem
tibi
Rex
,
saith
he
,
neque
me
Argolica
de
gente
negabo
.
And
it
is
the
ordinary
practise
of
Deceit
,
It
is
needefull
when
the
matter
in
hand
is
such
,
as
either
for
the
grosenesse
or
the
strangenesse
thereof
,
may
alienate
the
mindes
and
affections
of
the
hearers
from
vs
;
or
when
they
are
before-hand
otherwise
perswaded
;
or
last
of
all
,
when
wee
perceiue
that
they
doe
faint
,
and
are
growne
weary
of
hearing
.
Sentio
Iudices
,
saith
Cicero
,
occurrendum
esse
satietati
aurium
,
animorumque
vestrorum
.
Quamobrem
multa
praetermittam
.
Ad
ea
autem
quae
dicturus
sum
,
reficite
vos
,
quaeso
Iudices
,
per
Deos
immortales
,
dum
id
Verris
facinus
commemoro
,
quo
tota
prouincia
Sicilia
commota
est
;
and
this
euen
towards
the
end
of
his
sixt
Oration
against
Verres
.
The
onely
aime
of
an
Exordium
is
chiefely
to
beget
beneuolence
,
which
if
the
cause
be
doubtfull
,
and
ambiguous
,
must
of
necessitie
be
procured
,
and
that
from
the
persons
,
or
from
the
things
.
The
persons
eyther
are
our selues
,
and
such
as
we
defend
,
and
pleade
for
;
or
secondly
,
they
are
our
hearers
;
or
last
of
all
our
aduersaries
.
It
is
drawne
from
our
owne
persons
by
a
modest
commendation
of
our
abilities
and
deserts
;
as
likewise
by
a
commemoration
and
recitall
of
our
cares
and
troubles
;
the
first
is
Et●icall
;
the
other
in
a
meane
Patheticall
;
or
by
a
refutation
,
and
remouall
of
such
obstacles
and
impediments
as
may
any
way
be
hurtfull
and
preiudiciall
to
vs
.
From
the
persons
of
our
Auditors
,
by
alleaging
their
prayses
;
or
by
letting
them
know
the
hope
and
estimation
which
men
haue
of
them
.
Fide
sapientiaque
vestra
fretus
,
saith
the
Orator
,
plus
oneris
sustuli
quàm
ferre
me
posse
intestigo
.
Last
of
all
,
from
the
person
of
our
Aduersaries
,
by
bringing
them
into
hatred
through
some
particular
relation
of
whatsoeuer
villanies
and
enormities
haue
bin
committed
by
them
;
or
by
exposing
them
to
enuy
,
by
some
cunning
blazoning
of
their
wealth
,
birth
,
power
,
and
authoritie
,
as
things
on
which
they
more
rely
,
then
on
the
vprightnesse
of
their
cause
:
or
thirdly
,
by
causing
them
to
be
contemned
through
some
rehearsall
of
their
slothfulnesse
,
their
ignorance
,
and
other
such
like
weakenesses
and
imperfections
.
An
other
end
to
be
considered
in
the
well
composing
of
an
Exordium
,
is
the
begetting
of
attention
;
which
is
easily
obtained
,
if
we
signifie
vnto
our
Auditors
,
that
we
are
to
speake
of
matters
of
importance
;
such
as
neerely
concerne
the
common-wealth
,
are
necessarie
to
be
knowne
,
and
carrie
with
them
profit
and
delight
.
Vtilissima
munera
,
A
third
and
last
end
is
,
to
instruct
the
hearer
in
the
cause
,
if
so
it
be
obscure
;
and
for
his
better
information
to
epitomize
and
abridge
the
businesse
,
letting
him
see
the
summe
of
it
,
first
in
some
generall
proposition
,
and
afterwards
in
some
particular
diuision
.
Now
these
in
regard
of
the
conceites
and
opinions
which
men
haue
oftentimes
both
of
the
persons
and
the
things
,
are
with
all
diligence
to
be
considered
:
to
the
intent
,
that
hauing
vnderstood
how
all
men
stand
affected
to
our
Cause
,
and
knowing
what
they
thinke
both
of
the
Plaintiffe
,
and
D●fendant
;
as
likewise
what
either
friends
or
enemies
could
wish
were
principally
done
,
we
may
thereafter
for
our
best
aduantage
,
frame
and
compose
the
beginning
of
our
speech
.
There
are
some
Proëms
,
which
seeme
,
as
it
were
,
inartificiall
,
and
withall
somewhat
remooued
from
the
Cause
in
hand
,
but
are
notwithstanding
very
cunningly
connexed
with
it
,
and
they
are
either
P●ristaticall
,
such
as
are
drawne
from
circumstances
,
as
from
Time
,
Place
,
and
the
like
;
or
they
be
Gnomicall
,
such
as
are
taken
from
Sentences
,
Proverbes
,
Examples
,
Precedents
,
and
Customes
.
Those
haue
in
them
alwaies
the
best
grace
which
are
grounded
vpon
the
speeches
of
our
aduerse
partie
,
because
that
seeming
not
to
haue
bene
indicted
at
home
,
but
inuented
there
,
the
readinesse
of
wit
brings
an
encrease
of
fame
;
and
the
shew
of
Simplicitie
an
acquist
of
faith
.
Quo
minus
cupiditatis
,
Ea
demum
magna
voluptas
●st
(
saith
Cicero
)
Crispe
Sallusti
,
aequalem
,
ac
parem
verbis
vitam
agere
.
Such
as
are
puffed
vp
and
swolne
,
are
vtterly
to
be
auoyded
;
as
likewise
those
,
which
are
vulgar
,
and
may
serue
for
many
causes
;
or
common
,
and
which
our
aduersaries
may
vse
as
well
as
we
,
with
diuers
others
as
vitious
and
defectiue
in
some
regard
as
these
.
Sometimes
they
may
be
altogether
omitted
,
as
in
Epistl●s
,
which
are
onely
narratorie
:
yet
in
matters
of
moment
,
they
cannot
be
neglected
,
no
not
of
the
Athenians
themselues
,
who
were
compelled
by
the
Law
to
speake
without
Exordiums
or
Affects
.
After
the
Exordium
commeth
the
Narration
,
which
is
nothing
else
,
but
an
exposition
of
things
done
,
or
reputed
to
be
done
.
Sometimes
there
is
a
kinde
of
preparation
interposed
,
that
it
may
seeme
to
cohere
the
better
with
the
former
.
For
it
is
not
fit
we
should
suddainely
rush
vpon
any
thing
,
but
come
vnto
it
seasonably
,
and
by
degrees
.
Now
euery
Narration
is
Grammaticall
,
or
Oratoriall
.
A
Grammaticall
Narration
is
that
which
is
remooued
from
ciuill
pleas
,
and
yet
is
vsed
for
the
better
handling
of
such
as
are
Oratoriall
:
and
it
is
of
Persons
,
and
expresseth
the
inward
manners
,
and
the
outward
shape
;
or
of
Things
,
and
is
either
Historicall
,
containing
in
it
an
act
done
;
or
●lasm●ti●●ll
and
fained
,
whose
argument
is
onely
but
a
fiction
,
yet
such
as
may
be
done
;
or
Mythicall
&
fabulous
,
reporting
that
which
neuer
was
done
,
nor
is
euer
likely
to
be
done
.
The
Oratoriall
narration
is
that
which
appertaineth
to
Ciuill
causes
,
and
is
vsed
,
as
may
appeare
in
all
the
Orations
of
Demosthemes
and
Cicero
,
as
a
speciall
meanes
whereby
to
ouerthrow
our
aduersarie
,
and
obtaine
the
victorie
.
It
is
either
Generall
,
or
Speciall
:
the
first
is
the
chiefe
and
primarie
Narration
of
the
whole
cause
,
and
as
I
may
say
,
the
seate
and
foundation
,
whereon
we
ground
the
faith
and
credit
of
our
matter
:
the
last
is
a
Digression
,
which
hapneth
sometimes
vpon
some
certaine
reason
mouing
vs
therevnto
.
The
generall
Oratoriall
Narration
is
either
Simple
,
as
in
this
;
Occiditur
ad
Balneas
Palatinas
redi●ns
à
coe●a
S.
Roscius
,
where
neither
the
manner
of
the
murther
is
set
downe
,
nor
any
other
circumstance
,
that
might
argue
the
truth
of
that
assertion
.
And
here
we
must
note
,
that
those
things
,
which
depresse
and
sad
the
spirits
of
our
Auditors
,
are
neuer
to
be
vttered
but
with
exceeding
breuitie
;
whereas
those
that
are
well
relished
and
accepted
by
them
,
are
to
be
rested
on
some
longer
time
.
And
thus
doth
Homer
make
Vlysses
to
relate
the
stories
of
his
wandring
trauailes
at
large
to
those
of
Corcyra
.
The
elements
whereof
Narrations
doe
consist
,
are
circumstances
,
which
Plutarke
calleth
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
the
occasions
of
euery
exposition
;
and
they
are
either
,
-
1.
Persons
.
-
2.
Things
done
.
-
3.
Things
pretermitted
in
the
doing
.
-
4.
Reasons
and
inducements
mouing
men
to
either
.
-
5.
Opinions
,
Counsailes
,
Aduises
and
Conceits
.
-
6.
The
place
where
.
-
7.
The
time
,
when
.
-
8.
The
manner
,
how
:
in
which
the
preparation
,
together
with
such
instruments
as
did
belong
to
the
performance
are
likewise
showne
.
-
9.
The
finall
issue
and
euent
of
all
.
After
the
Narration
followeth
the
Proposition
,
which
is
the
State
it selfe
,
or
the
principall
Question
,
to
which
all
proofes
and
arguments
are
referred
.
The
Narration
may
be
sometimes
omitted
,
as
in
disputations
,
suasorie
Causes
,
and
iudgements
,
as
likewise
when
the
thing
is
manifest
and
knowne
:
but
the
Proposition
must
be
alwaies
implyed
at
least
;
for
it
is
the
scope
of
the
contention
:
and
to
speake
,
and
not
propound
the
summe
of
the
matter
,
what
is
it
else
but
to
beate
the
ayre
,
and
to
encounter
with
a
shadowe
?
It
is
the
life
or
soule
of
Speech
,
and
is
proportionably
diffused
through
euery
part
and
member
of
the
same
.
It
hapneth
sometimes
,
that
in
one
and
the
same
cause
there
may
be
many
separate
Propositions
;
as
when
Socrates
was
accused
in
Xenophon
to
haue
corrupted
the
younger
sort
,
The
Confirmation
is
an
exposition
of
our
arguments
,
accompanied
with
an
asseueration
,
and
is
referred
wholie
to
the
prouing
and
authorizing
of
the
State
,
or
principall
question
,
which
if
that
once
faint
,
must
of
necessitie
fall
.
In
it
the
matter
and
forme
,
whereof
our
arguments
consist
,
must
of
necessitie
be
both
considered
:
and
withall
wee
must
obserue
,
that
if
they
be
firme
and
sound
,
they
may
be
placed
in
it
seuerally
by
themselues
,
and
with
some
distance
one
from
an
other
:
but
if
they
be
weake
and
crazie
,
they
must
be
heaped
vp
together
,
that
what
they
want
in
strength
,
may
be
supplyed
in
number
.
The
Confutation
is
nothing
else
but
a
dissoluing
of
whatsoeuer
our
aduerse
partie
shall
alleage
towards
the
weakening
and
impugning
of
our
Cause
,
Say
that
Roscius
had
beene
hated
of
his
father
,
yet
can
it
not
be
hence
concluded
,
that
hee
would
haue
killed
him
;
the
accuser
therefore
should
haue
alleaged
some
weightier
cause
for
his
conuiction
.
Those
things
which
are
light
,
and
of
little
moment
,
must
bee
distinctly
set
vpon
,
that
so
the
troupe
may
be
the
better
scattered
.
Common
things
are
best
refelled
by
Inversion
,
when
we
shewe
the
signes
or
causes
,
which
are
brought
against
vs
,
to
make
directly
for
vs
:
as
in
this
.
Occidisti
,
quia
sepelijsti
;
Thou
sluest
him
,
because
thou
buriedst
him
.
Nay
rather
,
my
burying
of
him
,
is
an
argument
that
I
did
not
slay
him
.
For
had
I
slaine
him
,
I
would
haue
sooner
fled
,
then
stayde
to
burie
him
.
So
that
the
parts
of
this
inverting
kinde
of
Confutation
are
two
.
For
first
,
there
is
a
Negation
of
the
signe
,
and
then
a
reason
of
this
Negation
.
Or
secondly
,
they
may
be
ouerthrowne
by
Violation
,
which
is
a
forcible
retorting
of
our
aduersaries
allegations
on
himselfe
,
and
differeth
from
Inversion
,
in
that
it
is
Apologeticall
,
and
defendeth
;
whereas
the
other
is
also
Categoricall
,
and
accuseth
.
The
one
is
like
Marcellus
with
his
sword
;
the
other
like
Fabius
with
his
shielde
.
It
is
of
greatest
power
,
in
that
it
is
least
looked
for
,
and
cannot
(
being
well
pursued
)
but
procure
the
victory
.
to
cut
a
mans
throte
,
with
his
owne
weapons
.
Or
thirdly
,
by
Absolution
,
when
wee
interprete
the
signes
or
causes
,
otherwise
then
our
aduersary
.
Hee
with
scandall
and
maliciously
;
wee
with
some
colour
to
the
better
part
,
as
in
this
,
Sepelij
,
&c.
I
buried
him
,
not
because
I
slue
him
,
but
because
I
had
compassion
on
him
.
Things
impertinent
,
and
not
belonging
to
the
question
,
may
be
reiected
and
contemned
,
as
not
deseruing
any
other
refutation
.
Things
cleare
and
manifest
,
may
be
confronted
with
some
contrary
Argumentation
,
or
Compensation
;
or
by
ouer-whelming
the
hearers
memory
with
infinite
Digressions
,
which
is
indeede
a
speciall
kinde
of
supplanting
,
and
such
as
Aeschynes
desired
the
Iudges
to
obserue
in
Demosthenes
.
The
Peroration
is
the
vtmost
bounde
of
euery
speeche
;
or
the
Conclusion
thereof
,
in
which
the
principall
Proposition
is
repeated
.
The
parts
of
it
are
two
,
Enumeration
,
by
which
whatsoeuer
was
handled
in
a
scattering
,
and
diffused
manner
throughout
the
whole
,
is
for
remembrancesake
reduced
into
one
place
;
and
is
oftner
to
be
vsed
by
the
Plaintife
,
then
by
him
that
is
Defendant
.
2.
Amplification
,
which
is
a
more
pressing
kinde
of
Affirmation
,
and
such
as
hauing
mooued
the
mindes
,
begetteth
credit
,
and
authoritie
.
It
is
applyed
,
eyther
to
incense
men
against
the
wicked
,
or
to
mooue
them
to
pittie
the
distressed
.
And
thus
farre
of
the
seuerall
parts
,
which
are
necessarily
required
in
euery
seuerall
kinde
of
speeche
.
CHAP.
XIIII
.
How
to
frame
a
Stile
which
may
be
correspondent
and
agreeable
to
each
seuerall
kinde
of
Negotiation
:
Of
the
care
which
must
be
had
in
fitting
it
,
both
to
the
Person
,
and
the
Argument
.
WHether
it
happen
that
a
man
be
to
negotiate
in
person
,
or
by
letter
,
he
must
be
very
carefull
,
that
he
deliuer
and
set
downe
his
minde
in
such
a
stile
and
phrase
,
as
may
not
be
distastefull
.
For
the
effecting
wherof
,
he
must
first
haue
a
respect
to
the
nature
,
ranke
,
and
abilitie
of
the
persons
,
with
whome
hee
is
to
treate
.
For
if
they
be
such
as
hauing
in
themselues
an
ability
to
doe
well
,
carry
not
the
least
peece
of
an
eare
,
that
can
swallowe
,
much
lesse
digest
a
vulgar
conceite
it
will
behooue
him
so
to
frame
it
,
as
that
it
may
seeme
of
pompe
,
yet
free
from
affectation
.
He
must
not
make
it
sauour
so
much
of
art
,
as
of
a
certaine
Courtly
magnificencie
,
which
by
a
kinde
of
analogicall
proportion
,
may
somewhat
answere
the
greatnes
of
the
partie
,
to
whom
he
either
writes
or
speakes
.
If
it
be
to
one
of
high
place
and
publike
action
,
he
must
endeuour
to
be
briefe
,
but
withall
perspicuous
.
Cùm
tot
sustineas
,
cùm
tanta
negotia
solus
;
Saith
Horace
,
writing
to
the
Maiestie
of
Rome
.
Now
for
the
difference
of
mens
natures
,
let
him
remember
the
complaint
of
the
Poet
,
Tres
mihi
conuivae
propè
dissentire
videntur
,
Poscentes
vario
multùm
diuersa
palato
.
Three
Guests
I
haue
,
which
plainely
disagree
,
Asking
strange
things
,
with
differing
taste
,
of
mee
:
And
haue
alwayes
a
dish
in
store
for
euery
mans
contentment
:
So
that
whether
,
Carmine
gaudebit
;
vel
delectetur
Iambis
;
Siue
Bionaeis
sermonibus
,
&
Sale
nigro
:
Hee
may
finde
out
a
plate
for
his
owne
Palate
.
Secondly
,
he
must
haue
regard
in
the
composing
of
his
stile
to
the
quality
and
proprietie
of
the
Subiects
,
whereof
hee
is
to
treate
;
varying
it
,
as
occasion
shall
require
,
in
a
fit
and
decent
manner
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
the
same
.
And
looke
what
passions
he
would
stirre
vp
in
others
,
hee
must
first
so
expresse
them
in
it
,
as
he
may
seeme
to
be
affected
with
the
same
himselfe
;
—
Tristia
moestum
Vultum
verba
decent
;
iratum
,
plena
minarum
;
Hee
that
would
moue
compassion
in
my
heart
,
must
shew
it
in
his
owne
.
Griefe
is
the
childe
of
Griefe
,
and
Teares
are
seldome
procreated
but
by
Teares
:
and
therefore
as
the
Poet
saith
,
—
Malè
si
manda●a
loquetur
,
Aut
dormitabo
,
aut
ridebo
:
—
If
with
bad
vttrance
he
his
part
disgrace
,
Or
sleepe
I
will
,
or
floute
him
to
his
face
.
For
where
there
is
a
want
of
this
conueniency
,
what
other
effect
can
possibly
be
produced
but
laughter
&
contempt
?
Romani

nobler
Crue
,
and
eke
the
baser
Croude
,
Will
burst
their
Spleens
,
with
laughing

.
Hee
must
not
stuffe
it
with
words
of
a
prodigious
greatnes
,
such
as
the
Poet
tearmes
-
ampullas
,
&
sesquipedalia
verba
;
and
cannot
by
reason
of
their
ouer-growne
quantitie
be
vttered
without
some
dangerous
extension
of
the
voices
instruments
.
Aeschynes
condemned
them
in
Demosthenes
,
That
he
offended
i●
nothing
,
but
in
that
he
did
not
offend
.
Debet

,

he
,
erigi
,

,
interdum

,

ac

.
For
an
Orator
must
be
erected
,
lifted
vp
;
yea
,
sometimes
he
must
grow
hote
,
beare
himselfe
hye
,
and
very
often
be
readie
to
fall
downe
head-long
.
Tutius

,
sed
humilius
,
&

iter
.
It
is
onely
for
weake
and
crazie
bodies
to
couet
euen
wayes
:
he
that
is
strong
and
able
,
will
make
no
difficultie
to
try
his
legs
,
sometimes
euen
in
a
rugged
path
,
or
if
occasion
serue
,
to
breathe
himselfe
vp
some
hye
and
steepe
ascent
.
Such
as
doe
run
,
are
far
more
apt
to
fall
,
then
those
that
creepe
;
but
these
haue
neuer
any
commendation
,
though
they
doe
not
fall
:
the
others
though
they
doe
,
haue
alwayes
some
.
Nam
vt
quasdam
artes
,
ita
eloquentiam
,
nihil
magis
quàm
ancipitia
commendant
.
For
it
is
with
Eloquence
as
with
other
Artes
,
nothing
more
beautifies
and
sets
it
forth
,
then
doubtfull
and
ambiguous
accidents
.
Wee
see
what
clamours
,
and
what
cryes
resound
throughout
the
Theater
,
when
those
that
walke
there
vp
the
ropes
,
stand
capring
safely
on
the
top
,
scorning
the
danger
,
which
euery
looker
on
fully
presum'd
they
would
haue
falne
into
.
Those
things
are
alwayes
most
admired
,
which
are
least
expected
,
and
cannot
be
performed
but
with
exceeding
hazard
.
He
must
not
confound
those
things
which
are
of
a
soaring
and
loftie
straine
,
with
those
that
are
altogether
full
of
winde
and
tumour
;
nor
censure
that
as
hyperbolicall
,
which
well
considered
,
is
but
round
and
full
.
Whatsoeuer
ouerpeereth
,
and
is
eminent
in
any
thing
,
may
easily
be
discerned
:
but
we
must
weigh
with
iudgement
and
with
reason
,
immodicum
sit
an
grande
;
altum
an
enorme
.
He
must
with
all
dexteritie
enterveine
it
with
the
choicest
ornaments
that
either
words
or
sentences
can
possibly
afford
,

But
there
is
notwithstanding
a
certaine
kinde
of
Amplification
consisting
both
in
words
and
sentences
,
which
may
be
vsed
with
commendation
,
when
we
would
extoll
,
aggrauate
,
or
make
worse
the
matters
that
are
in
question
.
The
Greekes
haue
called
it
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
because
the
tearmes
,
by
which
it
is
exprest
,
do
far
surmount
the
greatnes
of
the
thing
.
For
they
are
either
significant
,
or
weightie
,
and
fill
the
minde
:
as
when
to
make
both
Crime
and
Criminell
the
more
detestable
;
in
stead
of
the
Genus
,
we
alleage
the
Species
;
and
whereas
he
did
but
hurt
,
affirme
that
he
did
kill
:
or
secondly
,
they
be
forcible
and
violent
of
sound
,
and
fill
the
eares
of
those
that
heare
them
;
or
thirdly
they
be
full
and
round
,
and
fill
both
their
eares
and
mindes
;
or
last
of
all
,
the
better
to
make
impression
,
they
be
tropicall
,
and
figuratiue
:
but
these
are
neuer
to
be
vsed
,
vnlesse
it
be
for
necessitie
sake
,
when
the
proper
word
is
wanting
;
or
when
,
though
it
be
extant
,
it
is
not
altogether
so
expressiue
and
significant
;
or
for
ornament
sake
;
or
last
of
all
for
honestie
,
as
when
the
proper
word
is
such
as
cannot
be
heard
,
or
vttered
,
but
with
a
blushing
and
bashfull
countenance
;
for
all
vnsauourines
of
speech
must
vtterly
be
auoyded
.
Hitherto
belong
all
attributes
and
epithetes
,
which
are
nothing
else
but
Adiectiues
,
borrowed
eyther
from
the
minde
,
or
from
the
bodie
,
or
extrinsecally
from
fortune
,
and
fitly
added
to
some
Substantiue
,
to
which
they
haue
the
like
relation
that
sawces
haue
to
meates
,
and
must
therefore
neuer
be
applyed
but
very
sparingly
.
Aristotle
condemn'd
the
writings
of
Alcidamas
,
For
he
vseth
not
his
Epithetes
,
saith
he
,
as
sawces
,
but
as
meates
.
True
Eloquence
is
graue
,
and
Matron-like
in
her
behauiour
;
the
apparell
which
she
weares
is
glorious
,
but
not
gawdie
;
it
is
comely
,
as
well
as
costly
:
She
loues
not
to
be
deckt
with
pide
inuentions
,
like
a

nor
will
she
fashion
her selfe

to

nose
and
lips
,
because
they
will
be
sure
to
be
fine
.
To
this
same
Auxesis
or
Augmentation
,
is
opposed
Extenuation
,
which
is
a
lessening
,
or
diminishing
of
whatsoeuer
is
obiected
,
or
propounded
;
as
when
in
defensorie
pleas
we
make
a
Diminutiue
of
a
Primitiue
;
or
leauing
the
Species
,
haue
recourse
to
the
Genus
,
and
in
stead
of
stealing
,
name
taking
;
in
stead
of
wounding
,
touching
.
There
is
another
kinde
of
Diminution
,
which
in
regarde
it
proceedes
from
Modestie
,
is
counted
Ethicall
,
and
is
included
in
a
Negatiue
.
The
Souldier
to
free
himselfe
from
all
suspicion
of
vaine-glory
,
which
through
an
open
profession
of
his
worth
,
he
might
haue
easily
incurred
,
gaue
out
,
That
hee
was
not
vnexercised
in
deedes
of
armes
,
nor
ill
experienced
in
Martial
discipline
.
And
indeede
the
Negatiue
is
the
same
sometimes
with
an
Affirmatiue
,
as
when
for
the
auoyding
of
Tau●ologie
,
or
the
often
repetition
of
one
and
the
same
word
,
wee
say
,
Hee
knoweth
this
,
and
is
not
ignorant
of
that
:
sometimes
againe
,
it
importeth
lesse
,
as
in
this
;
Hospes
quoniam
nec
malus
,
nec
imprudens
vir
esse
videris
,
&c.
where
because
he
was
a
stranger
,
&
vnknowne
,
it
was
thought
sufficient
curtesie
to
beare
a
charitable
opinion
&
conceit
of
his
deseruings
,
not
attributing
any
vertue
absolutely
vnto
him
,
for
feare
his
after-carriage
might
falsifie
the
report
:
and
sometimes
more
;
as
when
Homer
speaking
of
Achilles
,
when
he
beheld
the
messengers
,
which
were
come
by
Agamennons
appointment
to
fetch
his
louely
Brisis
from
him
,
in
stead
of
saying
,
hee
was
wondrous
sad
,
relates
,
he
was
not
very
glad
.
But
this
may
peraduenture
seeme
a
little
besides
the
line
,
and
be
condemned
as
nothing
pertinent
or
proper
to
the
thing
in
hand
,
and
therefore
I
will
leaue
it
,
and
returne
.
As
in
the
composition
,
so
likewise
in
the
selection
and
choyce
of
words
,
hee
must
not
be
too
curious
or
precise
;
Cura
verborum
derogat
affectibus
fidem
,
I
veggi'
hor
bien
,
che
caritate
accesa
,
Lega
la
lingua
altrui
,
gli
spirti
invola
.
Chi
può
dir
com'
egl'arde
,
e'n
picciol
fuoco
.
Now
well
I
see
,
that
true
enkindled
loue
The
tongue
doth
binde
,
the
spirites
doth
remoue
.
Hee
that
hath
wit
,
and
words
to
tell
his
heat
,
May
feele
some
warmth
,
but
sure
his
flame
's
not
great
.
Let
him
therefore
,
the
better
to
procure
beliefe
,
make
vse
of
such
as
may
seeme
like
Voluntaries
;
of
themselues
,
and
without
pressing
,
or
constraint
,
to
follow
the
leading
of
his
Meditations
,
and
marshall
them
with
such
dexteritie
,
that
they
may
no
way
preiudice
that
feeling
apprehension
,
which
he
hath
of
what
he
is
to
treate
.
For
the
auoyding
of
prolixitie
,
then
which
nothing
is
more
distastefull
to
a
iudicious
Auditorie
,
let
him
so
order
and
contriue
his
speech
,
digesting
the
whole
into
sundry
parts
,
and
allotting
to
euery
one
their
seuerall
points
,
with
such
conueniencie
,
vt
saepe
incipere
,
saepe
desinere
videatur
;
and
that
the
Reader
,
if
chance
it
were
committed
to
writing
,
wheresoeuer
hee
should
beginne
,
wheresoeuer
he
should
ende
,
might
finde
it
in
all
things
so
coherent
,
that
reading
where
he
left
,
he
might
thinke
he
began
anew
;
so
that
notwithstanding
hee
seeme
long
and
tedious
in
the
vniuersall
,
86
,
He
did
rebuke
M.
Antony
for
writing
so
that
men
might
rather
wonder
at
him
,
then
conceiue
him
.
And
commending
in
a
certaine
Epistle
the
wit
and
apprehension
of
Agrippina
his
Neece
,
Opus
est
dare
te
operam
,
(
saith
hee
)
ne
molestè
scribas
,
aut

:

Aug:
hee
may
bee
counted
briefe
in
the
particulars
.
Let
him
not
thinke
to
grace
his
stile
,
by
cloathing
it
in
the
worme-eaten
habit
of
decay'd
Antiquitie
;
but
alwayes
vtter
his
Conceites
in
the
best
knowne
,
and
most
receiued
phrase
,
and
in
all
things
(
as
I
saide
before
)
labour
to
bee
both
plausible
and
perspicuous
.

CHAP.
XV.
Of
Sentences
tending
to
the
beautifying
of
the
Stile
;
their
seuerall
kindes
,
and
applications
:
with
the
Authors
Apologie
;
seruing
for
a
Conclusion
to
the
whole
.
A
Sentence
is
a
briefe
but
generall
Enunciation
,
concerning
those
things
,
which
belong
to
life
and
ciuill
conuersation
.
It
eyeth
not
the
Individuall
,
so
much
as
the
Vniuersall
;
and
cannot
well
be
vsed
,
but
where
there
is
Election
and
choyce
of
action
.
It
is
first
of
all
,
either
Simple
;
as
this
,
Pleasures
the
seldomer
they
be
vsed
,
the
more
they
are
to
be
commended
:
or
it
is
compounded
;
as
heere
,
Such
is
the
nature
and
condition
of
an
vnsteddie
multitude
,
that
it
estimateth
nothing
according
to
truth
,
most
things
according
to
opinion
.
Secondly
,
it
is
positiuely
true
:
as
when
we
say
,
Religiosissimum
esse
Dei
cultum
,
imitari
;
that
Imitation
is
the
most
religious
kinde
of
worship
:
or
it
is
onely
probable
;
as
when
we
doe
affirme
,
that
Speech
is
the
liuely
Character
of
the
Heart
:
and
that
Euery
man
resembleth
the
Companie
,
which
he
keepeth
:
or
it
is
Hyperbolicall
,
and
containeth
in
it
more
then
can
be
well
beleeued
by
a
vulgar
apprehension
:
as
,
Omnes
sapientes
sunt
liberi
;
There
is
no
wise
man
but
is
free
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
hortatorie
,
or
dehortatorie
:
as
in
the
two
last
verses
of
this
Epigramme
;
which
by
reason
of
the
elegancie
thereof
,
I
haue
heere
inserted
whole
.

The
things
that
make
mans
life
more
happie
seeme
,
Are
these
,
delightfull
Martiall
,
as
I
deeme
:
Wealth
not
by
labour
got
,
but
left
by
Will
;
A
fruitfull
field
,
a
fier
burning
still
;
Meane
clothes
,
no
strife
the
mindes
rest
to
confound
;
In
different
strength
,
a
body
firme
,
and
sound
;
Warie
Simplicitie
and
equall
friends
;
An
easie
Diet
,
which
no
art
commends
;
The
Night
not
drunke
,
yet
loose
and
free
from
care
;
The
bed
not
sad
,
though
chaste
beyond
compare
;
Sleepe
,
which
may
make
the
longest
darkes
but
short
,
(
Neuer
disturb'd
with
Thoughts
of
worldly
sort
)
.
Be
still
well-pleas'd
,
to
be
that
which
thou
art
,
And
let
thy
choyce
affect
no
greater
part
;
Feare
not
the
day
,
which
must
thy
life
vp-summe
,
Nor
wish
the
same
before
the
time
doe
come
.
Nulla
Fides
,
pietasque
viris
,
qui
castra
sequuntur
.
Or
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
with
some
reason
,
either
going
before
,
or
immediately
following
after
:
as
,
Mortalis
cùm
sis
,
inimicitras
immortales
ne
geras
;
Let
not
thy
hatred
be
immortall
,
when
thou
thy selfe
art
otherwise
.
Sixtly
and
lastly
,
it
consisteth
either
of
proper
words
;
as
,
Vnicus
Dei
cultus
est
,
non
esse
malum
:
The
onely
worshipping
of
God
,
is
not
to
be
a
sinner
;
or
it
is
Tropicall
:
as
here
;
Now
strike
your
sailes

yee
iolly
Mariners
,
For

be

Which
I
will
here
applie
vnto
my selfe
,
as
intending
now
to
take
a
Fare-well
of
my
Douely-Serpent
;
commending
him
to
the
conduct
and
protection
of
his
mildest
starres
:
with
this
Apologie
,
to
such
as
shall
embrace
him
in
his
trauailes
;
that
I
haue
not
fashioned
him
,
as
Tullie
did
his
Orator
,
in
so
hye
a
degree
of
perfection
,
that
the
reach
of
mans
wisedome
is
no
way
able
to
attaine
vnto
it
.
No
,
there
is
not
any
thing
required
heere
,
but
paines
and
industrie
may
easily
effect
.
Yea
,
many
(
amongst
which
,
my selfe
may
happely
be
one
)
which
seeme
of
such
a
slender
capacitie
,
that
Boeotum
in
crasso
iurares
aëre
natos
,
cease
not
by
daily
imployments
to
become
fit
to
vndergoe
great
things
.
Antisthenes
perswaded
the
Athenians
one
day
to
busie
their
Asses
as
well
as
their
horses
in
the
tillage
of
their
grounde
.
Wherevpon
they
answered
him
;
that
such
creatures
were
neuer
made
for
any
such
purpose
.
That
is
all
one
,
replyed
he
;
it
lyeth
but
in
your
will
:
For
the
most
ignorant
,
and
most
vncapable
men
,
that
are
employed
by
you
in
the
commandements
of
your
warres
,
let
not
to
become
most
worthy
,
by
being
imployde
by
you
.
It
is
in
Action
,
as
it
is
in
Speech
,
Vsus
&

&

Wherefore
let
no
man
alter
his
intended
course
,
for
anie
false
surmised
difficultie
or
tediousnesse
in
the
way
.

And
it
is
an
excellent
Motto
,
and
which
becommeth
well
the
atchieuements
of

generous
