AMONG
all
the
Learned
&
worthy
writers
of
our
age
,
(
worshipful
Sir
)
there
is
none
to
my
iudgement
more
worthy
of
perpetual
prayse
than
those
which
haue
most
learnedly
philosophied
on
the
miserie
of
man
(
those
I
say
which
contemplating
&
beholding
the
calamities
of
these
dayes
with
the
corruption
of
man
kind
,
haue
not
feared
to
set
forth
the
liues
&
liuings
of
al
estates
(
to
this
end
)
that
in
reading
&
hearing
their
miserable
life
and
wicked
conuersation
,
they
be
the
soner
moued
to
detest
and
abhorre
the
same
,
and
crie
out
with
the
Prophete
Dauid
saying
,
I
haue
sinned
Lord
,
and
therevppon
amende
their
wicked
wayes
.
Among
the
which
the
Author
hereof
named
Peter
Boaystuau
,
hath
most
worthilye
set
foorth
this
present
worke
,
not
only
in
the
French
tongue
to
the
profit
of
his
Countrie
,
but
first
of
all
in
the
Latin
tongue
to
his
perpetuall
and
due
prayse
,
and
to
the
profite
of
all
Christian
Countries
and
Nations
.
Wherein
he
hath
moste
learnedly
set
forth
the
corruption
of
all
estates
,
so
that
those
that
reade
this
present
booke
,
can
no
otherwise
do
but
be
ashamed
of
their
vniust
dealings
.
Moreouer
least
that
man
should
dispaire
of
his
saluation
in
reading
this
pitiful
Metamorphose
or
Tragedie
(
knowing
themselues
culpable
)
he
hath
most
worthily
set
forth
the
dignitie
and
excellencie
of
man
,
shewing
him
how
much
more
in
excellencie
he
doth
excell
all
other
creatures
whom
GOD
hath
created
and
made

that
this
is
in
summe
(
Right

the
effect
of
this
rude

the

I
thought
good

MY
good
Lorde
,
certaine
auncient
Philosophers
haue
made
maruellous
complaints
against
the
ingratitude
and
misknowledge
of
man
,
for
that
he
neuer
entreth
into
his
owne
conscience
,
and
considereth
not
his
owne
proper
nature
,
althoughe
that
his
industrie
and
prouidence
be
so
great
,
that
it
spreadeth
all
abrode
.
In
such
sort
,
that
neyther
the
compasse
and
largenesse
of
the
Earth
,
the
violence
nor
deepenesse
of
the
Seas
,
neyther
the
amplitude
and
spreading
of
the
Ayre
,
neyther
the
burning
heate
nor
distance
of
the
Sunne
,
neyther
yet
the
course
or
reuolution
aswell
of
the
Clouds
,
as
of
the
Firmament
,
can
retaine
or
hinder
the
celerity
of
his
Spirit
,
but
that
he
will
séeke
&
know
the
nature
&
resort
of
al
that
is
contained
in
the
vniuersal
world
.
The
furie
and
rage
of
the
wilde
beasts
he
tameth
and
maistereth
,
and
he
only
remaineth
without
bridell
or
snaffle
,
by
his
diligence
and
promptnesse
of
wit
,
he
hath
described
the
properties
of
herbes
and
plants
,
the
secret
vertues
of
stones
,
with
the
calcionating
of
mettels
.
And
notwithstanding
man
is
so
masked
and
disguised
,
that
he
knoweth
not
himselfe
.
He
is
the
Heraulde
,
beginner
and
foreshewer
of
things
contayned
in
the
circute
of
this
worlde
,
and
yet
he
is
blinde
and
dumbe
in
his
owne
doings
.
He
foreséeth
and
discouereth
the
nature
and
propertie
of
the
Elementes
,
he
reformeth
,
ordeyneth
,
compasseth
and
weyeth
that
which
is
séene
vnder
the
concauits
of
the
Skies
.
And
neuerthelesse
,
man
in
himselfe
is
as
one
cofounded
and
ouercome
.
In
consideration
wherof
(
my
good
Lord
)
I
haue
vnto
him
addressed
this
Rule
,
by
the
which
he
may
contemplate
and
aduise
,
without
being
drawen
beside
him selfe
,
his
infirmitie
and
miserie
,
(
to
the
ende
)
that
making
an
anotamie
or
foreshewing
of
all
the
partes
of
his
life
,
he
be
the
sooner
moued
to
detest
&
abhorre
his
vile
and
corrupt
liuing
.
And
if
we
would
be
equitable
Iudges
of
humaine
actions
,
what
is
this
worlde
,
anye
other
than
a
Rule
,
circle
or
compasse
,
where
as
some
play
the
handicraftes
men
,
&
of
base
condicion
,
others
represent
Kings
,
Dukes
,
Earles
,
Marquesses
,
Knights
,
Barons
and
others
constituted
in
dignities
,
and
notwithstanding
,
assoone
as
they
haue
layde
downe
their
maskings
and
disguisings
,
and
that
death
commeth
,
which
maketh
an
ende
of
this
bloudie
Tragedie
,
then
they
knowe
themselues
to
be
all
men
,
and
wretched
sinners
,
and
then
the
Lorde
God
which
is
in
heauen
,
laugheth
at
their
foolish
enterprises
,
and
vanities
,
as
witnesseth
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
yea
with
such
a
dreadfull
laughter
,
that
he
maketh
vs
quake
for
feare
,
and
the
earth
to
shake
.
Man
then
(
in
my
iudgement
)
is
subiect
to
an
infinit
number
of
miseries
and
calamities
,
in
the
which
he
is
wrapped
in
from
his
birth
euen
to
his
graue
(
wherefore
)
séeing
this
pitiful
Metamorphose
,
&
also
his
excellent
degrée
of
honor
,
which
throughe
his
perfectnesse
and
insolent
life
he
shal
obtain
,
he
is
constrained
to
wish
and
desier
heauen
,
yea
to
sigh
and
crie
out
for
it
,
as
the
place
of
his
firste
originall
and
birth
.
Which
is
in
summe
(
my
good
Lord
)
that
which
at
this
present
I
doe
offer
,
consecrate
and
dedicate
vnto
your
Lordship
.
Although
that
I
must
nedes
confesse
,
as
the
veritie
is
,
that
in
consideration
of
your
vertues
,
integritie
of
life
,
sinceritie
of
maners
,
to
the
knowledge
that
your
Lordship
hath
in
all
good
disciplines
,
as
well
deuine
as
humain
,
to
the
rigorous
assaults
of
fortune
,
the
which
you
haue
vanquished
and
ouercome
by
your
merites
as
well
in
the
publike
weale
of
Scotland
,
as
in
our
Realme
of
Fraunce
:
the
memorie
whereof
is
so
great
,
that
it
spreadeth
all
ouer
Europia
.
It
shoulde
therefore
be
more
decent
and
comlie
to
honor
your
Lordeship
with
a
Rule
of
triumph
and
honor
with
the
which
the
auncient
Romains
were
accustomed
to
celebrate
and
eliuate
the
memorie
of
those
that
had
profited
their
natiue
countries
than
to
present
you
a
Rule
of
miseries
,
such
as
I
haue
here
entituled
,
with
the
which
your
Lordship
I
trust
will
be
contented
,
hoping
for
some
other
worke
of
mine
better
labored
and
pollished
.
Which
I
pretend
by
the
help
of
God
,
to
treate
on
in
another
tongue
,
and
that
shortly
shal
come
to
light
vnder
the
protection
and
fauor
of
your
deuine
vertues
.

Peter
Boaystuau
to
the
Reader
health

GEntle
Reader
,
sodenlye
after
that
I
had
made
offer
to
the
traduction
of
Chelidonius
,
and
wyth
other
fayre
treaties
of
mine
inuention
,
being
aduertised
how
willingly
thou
hast
receyued
my
workes
.
Therfore
I
thought
good
to
gratifie
thée
with
a
greater
thing
(
being
pricked
forward
by
)
I
know
not
what
néedle
of
vertue
to
flie
more
higher
,
and
to
set
forth
some
certaine
worke
of
more
weight
and
labor
.
So
that
after
an
infinite
number
of
diuers
and
sundry
things
méete
&
necessary
.
Eugenius
,
and
how
he
withstoode
the
wicked
Prelates
in
the
sermon
which
he
made
at
the
Synode
of
Pastors
,
and
in
the
.
xxxi●j
.
sermon
of
Canticles
,
when
as
he
shewed
them
their
vices
,
complayning
of
their
pompes
,
and
superfluous
deliciousnesse
,
and
in
the
meane
time
the
poore
shepe
and
flock
of
Iesus
Christ
remained
desart
.
What
thornes
were
these
if
they
had
heard
the
malediction
of
S.
Peter
vpon
Ananias
and
Saphira
,
the
which
tempting
the
holie
ghost
the
spirit
of
God
,
died
sodenlye
for
feare
.
Let
them
remember
howe
Sainct
Paule
spake
vnto
the
hie
Priest
calling
him
filthye
Sepulcher
.
Sainct
Iohn
vnto
the
Publicans
and
sinners
,
calling
them
a
generation
of
Vipers
.
Let
them
consider
howe
Epimenideus
the
Gréeke
spake
to
the
Candians
,
calling
them
cruell
and
abhominable
beastes
,
brainelesse
liers
.
Let
them
also
consider
with
what
sharpe
and
poynted
wordes
Helias
and
Esaie
did
reproue
the
Babilonians
,
though
they
were
two
sage
and
graue
Prophetes
.
But
what
iust
occasion
should
the
holy
Fathers
haue
had
,
auncient
Philosophers
,
Prophetes
and
Apostles
,
if
they
had
had
such
a
worlde
as
ours
,
which
is
so
depraued
and
broken
in
all
kinde
of
vices
and
abhominations
,
that
it
séemeth
to
be
a
place
that
hath
receyued
all
the
filthinesse
and
purgings
of
all
other
worlds
and
ages
.
But
as
for
me
I
will
not
make
the
office
of
censur
or
reformer
of
vices
,
knowing
my selfe
to
be
a
man
as
others
,
although
that
somtimes
I
cal
them
by
their
name
:
but
with
such
modestie
,
that
I
onely
rebuke
the
vices
and
not
the
persons
.
And
I
doe
not
only
discouer
the
abuse
of
the
world
,
to
the
end
that
the
simple
&
ignorant
should
beware
,
but
incontinently
I
shewe
the
vse
and
remedy
for
things
.
And
by
this
meanes
,
those
that
cannot
support
libertie
,
and
compasse
of
writing
.
Let
them
hereafter
learne
so
well
to
reforme
them selues
,
and
lead
the
estate
of
their
life
that
they
be
not
a
iesting
stocke
to
others
,
and
to
themselues
for
euer
a
reproch
,
knowing
that
the
time
is
come
,
that
being
in
this
worlde
,
as
in
a
fielde
of
libertie
,
we
can
not
so
well
cloke
and
dissemble
our
vices
,
but
the
smoke
and
smell
thereof
wil
breake
out
.
Receyue
therefore
(
louing
Reader
)
this
present
treatise
,
the
which
I
thought
good
to
set
forth
in
two
languages
,
Latin
and
French
,
for
to
make
thée
vnderstand
that
I
will
not
lead
the
rest
of
my
life
,
but
that
it
shall
bring
forth
some
publicke
profite
.
Farewell

The
rule
of
the
Worlde
,
wherin
is
contained
an
ample
discourse
of
the
miseries
of
man
,
likewise
of
many
vices
that
raingne
at
this
daye
in
all
the
estates
of
the
worlde
.
MAnye
Auncient
Philosophers
,
Greekes
,
Latines
,
&
Heathen
,
after
that
they
had
diligently
discerned
all
sort
of
beasts
,
and
curiously
sought
out
their
maner
of
liuing
,
and
conferred
their
condition
and
nature
with
ours
,
haue
written
,
that
among
all
those
that
haue
breath
,
that
go
&
crepe
vpon
the
earth
,
there
is
none
more
miserable
than
man
.
Some
more
rigorous
censurs
of
the
workes
of
nature
,
haue
begon
to
blaspheme
against
hir
calling
hir
cruell
stepmother
,
in
the
steade
of
gracious
mother
.
Others
haue
bewailed
their
long
daies
,
their
life
,
the
humaine
calamities
,
&
haue
followed
their
steppes
with
teares
,
perswading
with
them selues
(
as
an
Heraclite
)
that
no
other
thing
than
a
verie
rule
of
miserie
,
worthye
of
continuall
plaintes
and
perpetuall
compassion
.
Other
by
an
vnmeasurable
laughter
(
like
a
Democrite
)
haue
pursued
the
vices
that
raigne
on
the
earth
:
Who
,
if
he
were
aliue
at
thys
present
,
and
that
he
saw
the
disorder
and
confusion
,
that
is
in
our
christian
weale
,
shoulde
haue
iust
occasion
to
double
hys
laughter
,
and
to
mocke
with
open
throte
.
There
hath
bene
an
other
kinde
,
but
naturally
more
straunge
:
which
not
contenting
themselues
to
murmure
against
nature
,
or
to
complaine
of
hir
effects
,
but
with
a
particular
hatred
,
haue
cleaued
to
man
their
like
,
thinking
it
a
bootie
or
gaine
,
against
the
which
she
would
loose
all
the
arrowes
of
hir
wrath
&
malediction
.

,
hath
bene
the
most
effectioned
Patriarke
of
his
sect
,
the
which
declared
himselfe
open
and
chiefe
enimie
to
men
,
&
witnessed
the
same
in
the
presence
of
all
,
and
also
confirmed
it
by
effect
:
for
he
woulde
not
be
conuersant
or
communicate
with
men
,
but
remained
al
his
life
alone
in
a
wildernesse
with
the
beastes
,
far
from
neighbours
,
for
feare
to
be
sene
or
visited
of
any
,
and
being
in
this
solicitude
,
woulde
speake
to
no
man
,
sauing
sometimes
to
a
valiant
Captaine
of
Athens
named
Alcybiades
,
&
yet
he
spake
not
to
him
for
anye
good
will
he
did
beare
him
,
but
for
that
he
did
foresée
that
he
should
be
a
scourge
and
tormenter
of
men
:
and
specially
bicause
that
his
neighbors
the
Athenians
had
much
harme
to
suffer
by
him
.
And
not
suffised
to
haue
men
only
in
horror
and
detestation
,
and
to
flie
their
companie
,
as
the
companie
of
a
fierce
or
cruell
beast
,
but
in
forsaking
them
,
he
sought
their
ruine
,
&
inuented
al
the
meanes
he
could
to
deface
humaine
kinde
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
he
caused
manye
Gibets
to
be
reared
in
his
garden
,
to
the
end
that
the
dispaired
,
&
those
that
are
wearie
of
their
liues
,
shoulde
come
thither
to
hang
them selues
:
So
that
on
a
certain
time
when
he
thought
to
amplifie
&
to
enlarge
his
place
,
he
was
constrained
for
to
pull
downe
those
Gibets
,
for
the
easier
framing
and
furniture
of
his
worke
.
And
without
great
deliberation
he
went
to
Athens
,
whereas
dispitefully
he
did
congregate
the
people
like
a
Heraulde
that
would
declare
some
new
thing
,
and
when
they
vnderstode
the
barbarous
,
a
straunge
voice
of
this
feareful
and
vglye
monster
,
and
knowing
of
a
long
time
his
humor
,
they
ranne
sodenlye
for
to
heare
him
,
as
though
it
had
bene
some
sodeine
miracle
:
then
he
cried
out
saying
:
Citizens
of
Athens
if
any
of
you
haue
any
deuotion
to
go
hang
him selfe
,
let
him
make
hast
to
come
quicklye
,
for
I
will
cut
downe
my
Gibets
,
for
certain
necessitie
that
I
haue
:
so
that
hauing
vsed
this
charitie
towards
them
,
he
returned
to
his
place
without
speaking
of
any
other
thing
,
whereas
he
liued
manie
yeares
,
without
chaunging
his
opinion
,
and
ceased
not
to
philosophie
the
rest
of
his
life
vpon
the
miserie
of
man
,
till
such
time
as
the
pangues
of
death
began
to
oppresse
him
,
then
detesting
our
humanitie
,
euen
vntill
the
last
gaspe
,
ordeyned
expressiuely
,
that
his
bodie
should
not
be
buried
in
the
earth
,
which
is
the
common
eliment
and
buriall
for
all
,
for
feare
that
men
shoulde
sée
his
bones
and
ashes
,
but
he
streightly
commaunded
that
he
might
be
buried
vpon
the
sea
banke
,
to
the
ende
that
the
furor
of
the
waues
might
let
the
creatures
to
come
néere
:
&
then
he
willed
that
this
Epitaphe
recited
by
Plutarch
,
shoulde
be
graued
on
hys
Tombe
.
After
my
miserable
life
I
am
buried
vnder
this
ground
:
To
know
my
name
make
no
strife
O
Reader
,
whom
God
confound
.
Behold
how
this
poore
Philosopher
,
after
that
he
had
long
plunged
himselfe
in
the
contemplation
of
humaine
miseries
,
had
will
neuer
to
haue
bene
borne
,
or
else
to
haue
bene
transformed
into
the
shape
of
some
brute
beast
,
for
the
great
disdaine
he
had
in
mens
vices
.
Leaue
we
this
Philosopher
Thimon
,
making
his
complaintes
,
and
let
vs
harken
a
little
to
this
great
Emperour
of
Rome
Marcus
Aurelius
,
no
lesse
cunning
in
Philosophie
,
than
in
gouerning
of
the
Empire
:
Who
considering
profoundlye
,
the
frailtie
and
miserie
in
the
which
oure
poore
life
is
continually
besieged
,
sayde
:
The
battel
of
this
world
is
so
perillous
,
the
yssue
so
terrible
and
fearfull
,
that
I
am
assured
if
an
auncient
man
shoulde
come
forth
of
his
graue
,
and
make
a
faith
full
discourse
and
shewe
of
his
life
,
from
the
houre
of
his
birth
vntill
the
houre
of
his
death
,
and
that
the
bodie
should
shew
all
the
dolours
and
griefes
that
it
hath
suffered
,
and
the
heart
discouer
al
the
assaultes
of
fortune
,
men
would
be
amased
of
the
body
which
hath
so
much
sustained
,
and
of
the
heart
that
hath
so
languished
,
the
which
I
haue
proued
in
my selfe
,
and
will
liberally
confesse
it
,
though
it
be
to
my
infamie
,
but
it
maye
be
profitable
to
others
in
time
to
come
.
In
fiftye
yeares
that
I
haue
liued
,
I
thought
to
approue
all
the
vices
of
this
life
,
for
to
sée
if
mans
malice
might
be
satisfied
in
anie
thing
:
And
after
that
I
had
all
séene
,
I
founde
that
the
more
I
eat
,
the
more
I
did
hunger
,
the
more
I
did
drinke
,
the
more
I
thirsted
:
the
more
I
slept
,
the
more
I
would
slepe
:
the
more
I
rested
,
the
more
I
breake
:
the
more
I
had
,
the
more
I
did
couet
:
the
more
I
sought
,
the
lesse
I
found
:
and
finallye
,
I
neuer
had
thing
in
my
possession
,
but
that
therein
I
found
my selfe
letted
,
and
incontinentlye
after
,
I
haue
wished
for
another
.
The
whiche
things
Sainct
Iohn
Chrysostome
hauing
in
admiration
,
after
that
he
had
bewailed
by
great
compassion
the
calamities
of
men
,
and
the
darkenesse
wherein
they
were
wrapped
,
crieth
out
saying
:
I
desier
to
haue
an
eie
so
cleare
,
that
with
the
same
I
might
sée
all
men
,
and
such
a
voice
,
that
it
might
be
hearde
in
all
the
corners
of
the
earth
,
that
all
humaine
creatures
might
heare
,
to
the
ende
,
to
declare
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
this
crie
:
Children
of
men
,
howe
long
shal
your
hearts
be
hardened
?
And
not
withoute
a
cause
,
for
he
that
woulde
consider
with
a
sound
iudgement
,
the
estate
of
the
world
,
such
as
it
is
at
this
present
,
so
many
disceytes
,
fraudes
,
blasphemies
,
adulteries
,
rapines
,
warres
,
effusion
of
bloud
,
violences
,
ambition
,
couetousnesse
,
haired
,
rancor
,
&
vengeance
,
with
the
which
the
earth
is
euen
drunken
.
He
maye
well
saye
that
we
approche
nere
to
the
season
,
of
the
which
speaketh
the
Prophet
Esay
with
so
great
abhomination
,
in
the
ninth
Chapter
,
wherein
he
sayth
,
your
iniquities
haue
made
a
deuision
betwéene
you
and
your
God
,
your
sinnes
haue
hid
his
face
from
you
,
to
the
ende
that
he
heare
you
not
:
for
your
handes
are
full
of
bloud
,
your
fingers
with
iniquitie
,
your
lips
haue
spoken
lies
,
&
your
tongue
blasphemie
.
No
man
doeth
call
vpon
iustice
,
there
is
not
one
that
iudgeth
according
to
right
,
they
conceiue
in
their
mindes
Fellonie
,
and
bring
forth
iniquitie
.
They
are
enclosed
with
the
edges
of
adders
,
and
haue
weaued
spiders
threads
,
they
that
eate
of
their
egges
shal
die
,
and
if
ye
breake
them
,
there
shall
come
forth
a
Basiliske
,
their
féete
runne
to
do
euill
,
and
they
make
haste
to
shedde
innocent
bloud
,
their

are
wicked
thoughtes
.
Truth
is
throwne
in
the
stretes
,
and
equitie

not
enter

,
oure
iniquities
Are
multiplied
,
and
our

beare

against

.
Sainct
Bernard
in
a
certaine
lamentation
that
he
maketh
vpon
the
miserie
of
our
life
,
doth
teach
man
to
knowe
his
infirmitie
,
without
drawing
hym
from
himselfe
,
to
this
ende
,
that
by
the
contemplation
of
himselfe
,
he
be
the
sooner
moued
to
detest
his
vile
life
,
when
that
he
sayth
:
O
man
blinde
and
naked
,
that
arte
made
of
humaine
fleshe
,
and
of
a
reasonable
soule
,
remember
thy
miserable
estate
and
condition
,
wherefore
goest
thou
out
of
thy
owne
pathes
,
and
doest
muse
in
externe
things
,
&
sluggest
in
the
vanities
of
this
worlde
:
and
doest
plunge
in
the
wicked
delicatenesse
therof
?
Doest
thou
not
consider
that
the
nerer
thou
drawest
therto
,
the
farther
thou
art
from
God
,
the
more
thou
thinkest
to
gaine
outwardly
,
the
more
thou
losest
inwardlye
of
that
whiche
is
precious
,
the
more
curious
thou
arte
in
temporall
things
,
the
more
bigger
thou
art
in
spiritual
things
?
Thou
ordaynest
so
well
al
things
,
and
despisest
thy selfe
,
there
is
no
wilde
beast
but
thou
tamest
,
and
thou
thy selfe
art
without
bit
and
bridle
:
thou
art
waking
in
euery
place
,
but
in
thine
own
affaires
thou
art
a
slepe
:
the
desier
of
earthlye
things
boyle
in
thy
heart
,
and
in
the
meane
time
heauenly
things
are
cleane
defaced
from
thée
,
the
nerer
thou
drawest
to
death
,
the
farther
art
thou
from
thy
saluation
,
thou
takest
great
paine
to
decke
and
nourishe
this
body
,
which
is
nothing
but
a
verie
vessell
of
filth
,
and
a
sepulcher
for
wormes
,
&
thou
leauest
thy
poore
soule
which
is
the
image
of
God
,
famished
and
voyde
.
These
are
the
complaintes
that
this
holy
man
made
,
in
his
desert
against
the
ingratitude
of
this
worlde
:
All
the
which
things
by
vs
being
brought
in
,
aswell
of
him
as
of
others
,
tend
to
no
other
ende
,
but
to
prouoke
man
to
the
contemplation
of
himself
,
and
to
shewe
him
how
vile
and
abiect
he
is
,
to
the
ende
that
he
should
consider
euerie
minute
in
the
day
,
that
he
is
in
the
hand
of
God
,
as
the
chaffe
,
and
as
the
earthen
vessell
is
in
the
hande
of
the
potter
,
the
which
he
may
make
,
vnmake
,
forme
,
breake
,
crase
,
and
repaire
,
as
to
him
séemeth
best
,
without
doing
it
any
wrong
or
iniurie
.
For
,
what
is
man
else
but
a
similitude
or
statute
in
this
worlde
,
which
is
a
verie
shoppe
of
the
workes
of
God
,
who
with
one
pushe
will
fall
,
and
notwithstanding
in
what
miserie
so
euer
he
be
wrapt
in
,
yet
he
knoweth
not
himselfe
,
neither
yet
will
bow
vnder
the
yoke
of
God
.
(
Now
therefore
)
hauing
well
considered
the
vniuersall
state
of
man
,
it
is
requisite
to
make
a
moste
ample
discourse
of
this
matter
,
and
to
contemplate
man
more
neare
,
to
the
ende
that
he
learne
to
humble
himselfe
vnder
the
hande
of
hys
God
.
And
therefore
,
that
among
all
the
Heathen
,
Plinie
,
as
me
semeth
,
hath
most
worthily
philosophied
of
our
nature
:
We
wil
bring
him
for
witnesse
,
to
the
end
that
Christians
to
their
great
confusion
and
infamie
may
receiue
instruction
of
a
Painim
,
which
liued
without
the
knowledge
of
God
,
without
law
,
without
knowledge
of
the
heauenly
and
Euangelicall
light
.
Let
vs
consider
a
little
(
sayth
he
)
howe
it
behoueth
man
to
couer
his
bodye
,
at
the
dispensation
of
beastes
,
who
being
fauourable
of
their
natural
libertie
,
bring
euen
from
the
bellye
of
their
dams
,
some
feathers
,
others
heare
,
skin
,
skayles
,
and
others
wooll
.
The
like
also
in
trées
whiche
are
prouided
with
barke
,
for
to
serue
them
against
the
cold
,
and
against
the
extreme
heate
.
And
therefore
for
the
better
knowledge
in
what
contemnation
nature
hath
man
,
she
hath
brought
him
forth
alone
,
naked
vpon
the
earth
disdainefully
,
as
a
fruite
out
of
time
or
season
,
and
at
the
first
houre
of
his
death
hath
assigned
him
teares
for
his
heritage
,
which
are
as
forerunners
and
messengers
of
his
calamities
to
come
.
Beholde
here
the
chiefe
and
head
of
the
worke
of
nature
,
and
for
whom
all
other
things
are
created
,
which
is
so
weake
of
himselfe
,
that
if
he
be
left
without
the
helpe
and
succour
of
others
,
he
should
be
deuoured
of
wilde
beastes
,
beholde
when
that
he
commeth
out
of
his
mothers
wombe
,
how
that
he
must
be
wrapped
,
swaddeled
,
&
kept
warme
:
his
lyms
and
ioyntes
stretched
out
,
he
is
borne
in
pride
,
and
hath
his
beginning
in
sinne
:
but
at
what
time
can
he
stand
?
when
hath
he
the
vse
of
speache
?
when
can
he
go
,
to
how
manye
diseases
is
he
subiect
?
The
other
beastes
can
of
nature
helpe
themselues
,
but
man
knoweth
nothing
if
he
be
not
taught
,
but
of
his
own
proper
nature
wepeth
.
Man
only
among
the
beastes
is
subiect
to
paine
,
passion
,
pleasure
,
ambition
,
auarice
,
an
vnmeasurable
appetite
to
liue
,
borne
only
to
superstition
,
onlye
in
worldlye
cares
,
that
follow
him
:
to
be
short
,
he
is
subiect
to
wrath
and
enimitie
.
The
beasts
liue
in
peace
and
amitie
with
those
of
their
kinde
,
but
man
alone
is
enimy
to
man
.
And
yet
for
the
more
fauouring
and
gratifiyng
of
beastes
,
nature
hath
prouided
them
caues
and
holes
,
to
kepe
them
from
the
rage
of
the
tempests
,
thunders
and
lightnings
,
as
for
the
greate
ones
,
they
haue
dennes
and
caues
in
the
ground
:
and
the
little
ones
,
as
Whelks
,
Snayles
,
Torterels
,
and
such
like
,
nature
hath
so
prouided
,
that
they
beare
with
them
their
houses
easely
on
their
backes
.
Not
only
the
séedes
and
corne
,
but
that
she
hath
couered
with
eares
,
the
plantes
with
skinne
,
nuttes
with
shell
,
péele
and
rinde
,
and
al
for
the
conseruation
of
their
kindes
.
But
man
hath
nothing
,
vnlesse
he
séeke
it
with
labor
,
and
with
the
sweate
of
his
browes
.
Furthermore
if
we
do
confer
the
helth
and
valure
of
beasts
,
with
ours
,
we
shall
finde
that
they
haue
a
greate
aduauntage
ouer
vs
,
for
nature
hath
endued
vs
with
a
complection
so
wauering
and
vnstedfast
,
and
subiect
to
so
many
kindes
of
sicknesses
and
diseases
,
that
seldome
we
are
in
perfect
health
:
besides
this
,
she
hath
charged
man
with
suche
an
vnsatiable
appetite
,
that
he
ceaseth
not
continuallye
to
séeke
for
newe
and
straunge
kinde
of
meates
,
and
hauing
founde
to
his
appetite
,
with
greate
payne
he
can
abstaine
himselfe
,
but
that
he
wyll
take
more
than
nedefull
:
after
the
whiche
commeth
Surfets
,
Rheumes
,
Cancars
,
and
other
infinite
kindes
of
sickenesses
.
But
as
touching
beastes
,
they
content
themselues
with
that
,
that
nature
hathe
prepared
,
without
chaunging
or
forcing
their
nature
,
for
to
please
their
appetite
.
Moreouer
nature
hath
giuen
them
a
complection
so
well
ruled
and
gouerned
,
that
they
neuer
take
more
than
is
requisite
for
their
nourishment
,
neyther
in
drinke
,
nor
in
meat
.
But
as
for
man
,
al
the
fruites
of
the
earth
,
those
of
the
trées
,
the
fishes
of
the
sea
,
and
the
Fowles
of
the
aire
,
doe
not
suffice
him
,
but
in
all
points
turning
hys
nature
,
he
doth
disguise
puffe
vp
,
&
change
the
substance
into
excesse
,
and
the
nature
into
arte
,
to
the
ende
that
by
such
vnsatiablenesse
,
nature
be
angered
,
and
almost
forced
to
take
more
than
is
nedefull
:
so
then
,
when
that
nature
is
ouercharged
,
and
that
the
stomacke
is
wel
filled
:
all
the
braynes
are
troubled
in
such
sorte
,
that
there
is
neither
of
them
that
can
execute
their
office
.
And
I
am
ashamed
that
I
must
nedes
tell
it
,
that
the
vnmeasurable
delicatenesse
that
raigneth
among
Christians
this
day
,
is
the
cause
that
there
are
many
,
that
are
not
ashamed
to
giue
their
bodies
,
and
their
members
to
al
kinde
of
vice
and
villanie
,
and
to
all
kinds
of
wickednesse
,
howe
execrable
so
euer
they
be
,
euen
in
committing
many
fornications
,
theftes
,
fellonies
.
And
I
doe
maruell
that
the
bellies
of
manye
vnsatiable
gluttons
do
not
rot
and
bruste
out
by
their
greate
excesse
,
and
in
the
meane
time
the
poore
Lazarus
standeth
at
the
gate
redy
to
die
for
hunger
,
and
can
not
haue
so
much
as
the
crommes
that
fall
from
theyr
table
.
And
therfore
such
Godbellies
or
Bellygods
,
are
called
by
the
Prophetes
,
fatte
Calues
,
who
by
good
reason
may
be
compared
to
brute
beastes
:
for
their
soule
which
is
the
chiefest
part
they
haue
(
being
in
the
bodie
so
perfumed
with
meats
and
drinkes
)
is
captiue
as
in
a
darke
prison
or
dungeon
,
where
as
it
is
almoste
stifled
and
smuthered
,
and
the
wits
whiche
are
the
instruments
,
with
the
which
she
ought
to
be
serued
,
are
buried
therein
as
within
the
bowels
of
a
beast
:
and
against
such
gluttons
as
make
their
belly
their
God
,
the
Prophet
Esay
crieth
out
saying
,
Wo
be
to
you
that
rise
earlie
to
follow
drunkennesse
,
and
to
sit
drinking
till
the
Euening
,
to
the
ende
that
the
wine
heate
you
:
The
which
vice
at
this
present
day
is
so
familiar
among
men
,
that
there
is
not
almost
,
neither
Nation
or
prouince
,
but
that
is
infected
,
and
that
glorieth
in
their
great
drinking
.
The
Tartarians
,
the
Persians
,
and
the
Gréekes
haue
celebrated
drunkennesse
among
their
chiefest
triumphes
,
and
constrained
them
that
were
at
their
bankets
to
drinke
or
to
goe
their
wayes
.
The
Macedonians
were
instructed
of
their
Emperor
Alexander
to
drinke
without
measure
.
Italie
hath
got
the
price
:
in
the
which
(
as
Plinie
doth
write
)
drunkennesse
in
his
time
did
so
raigne
,
that
they
did
not
only
drink
themselues
out
of
al
measure
,
but
also
they
constrained
their
Mares
and
Horses
to
doe
the
like
.
Paulus
Diacrus
in
his
Historie
of
Lumbardes
,
doth
rehearse
a
thing
almost
monstrous
,
of
the
vice
of
drunkennesse
,
of
foure
old
men
that
made
a
banket
,
in
the
whiche
they
drunke
the
yeares
of
one
another
,
after
the
maner
as
followeth
:
they
ordeyned
to
drinke
two
to
two
,
and
counted
theyr
age
of
yeares
that
they
had
,
and
he
that
drunke
to
his
companion
,
should
drinke
so
many
times
as
he
had
liued
yeres
,
and
the
yongest
of
these
foure
,
was
.lviij.
yeres
olde
:
the
seconde
,
sixtye
thrée
:
the
thirde
,
lxxxvij
.
and
the
fourth
,
lxxxxij
.
So
that
it
was
not
knowen
what
they
did
eate
at
this
banket
either
more
or
lesse
,
but
we
know
that
he
that
drunke
least
,
did
drinke
lviij
.
tasters
of
wine
,
and
the
others
so
many
as
they
had
liued
yeares
,
in
suche
sorte
that
one
of
them
did
drinke
.
lxxxxij
.
times
.
It
is
not
therfore
without
a
cause
that
this
great
Philosopher
Plato
knowyng
the
harme
that
wine
bringeth
to
man
,
saide
,
that
partly
the
Gods
had
sent
wine
for
the
punishment
of
man
,
and
to
take
vengeance
of
their
sinnes
,
causing
them
when
that
they
are
drunke
,
to
kyll
and
murther
one
another
,
the
which
considered
of
Cyneas
Ambassadour
of
King
Pyrrhus
,
on
a
time
when
that
he
arriued
in
Egypt
,
and
that
he
had
séene
the
excesse
height
of
the
vineyards
in
that
countrie
,
did
saye
that
by
good
right
that
mother
was
hanged
so
highe
,
seing
she
brought
forth
so
daungerous
a
childe
as
the
wine
.
For
this
cause
Androcides
did
admonish
that
great
Monarch
Alexander
,
that
wine
was
the
bloud
of
the
earth
:
and
therefore
he
shoulde
take
héede
howe
to
receyue
it
.
The
which
not
being
well
obserued
by
him
,
in
his
intemperancie
killed
Clytus
,
burned
the
Citie
of
Percepolis
,
and
committed
manye
other
foule
and
detestable
crimes
.
It
is
not
therefore
in
this
our
age
that
these
wicked
vices
of
gluttonye
and
drunkennesse
haue
made
their
laste
ende
vpon
the
earth
,
but
it
séemeth
that
they
haue
nowe
made
almost
their
comming
in
with
man
.
The
transgression
of
our
first
parents
Adam
and
Eua
was
the
cause
that
the
gate
of
Paradise
was
shut
against
vs
.
Esau
solde
hys
birth
right
.
The
great
Prophet
S.
Iohn
Baptist
was
cruellye
slaine
and
murthered
after
that
the
cruel
tyrant
Kyng
Herode
had
banke●ed
.
The
wicked
riche
man
was
damned
,
for
it
is
expressiuely
saide
in
the
Text
,
that
he
fared
deliciously
,
and
therfore
was
he
buried
in
hel
.
Noe
being
ouercome
with
wine
slept
with
his
priuie
parts
vncouered
,
and
was
mocked
of
his
children
.
Loth
being
ouercome
with
wine
,
did
deflowre
his
owne
daughters
.
Nowe
therfore
we
sée
how
much
more
fauor
nature
hath
shewed
vnto
beastes
,
than
vnto
vs
,
in
that
they
do
so
moderate
their
appetites
,
that
they
take
no
more
than
is
necessarie
for
the
preseruation
of
their
health
,
in
such
sort
that
they
are
not
vexed
with
an
infinite
number
of
diseases
as
we
are
.
And
if
it
happen
that
they
are
afflicted
with
anye
harmes
,
nature
hath
instructed
them
proper
remedies
without
hauing
refuge
to
Phisicke
or
Phisicions
,
which
vnder
the
colour
of
receiue
,
chaunge
R.
into
D.
and
make
deceiue
,
so
that
somtimes
we
buy
full
deare
the
trauell
of
them
which
manye
times
cause
our
death
,
for
the
most
part
of
their
laxatiue
medicines
,
are
no
other
than
very
hammers
to
beate
downe
men
.
But
if
it
happen
that
the
beastes
or
fowles
are
sicke
,
nature
doth
shewe
them
remedies
.
As
the
wood
Doues
,
Helxine
.
The
Torterels
wil
heale
their
biting
with
Cegue
.
The
Dogs
and
Cats
when
their
bellies
are
too
full
,
will
purge
them
in
eating
dewed
herbes
or
grasse
.
When
the
Deare
are
hurt
,
they
haue
recourse
to
Dictamum
.
When
the
Wesell
doeth
pretende
to
fight
against
the
Rattes
,
she
prepareth
and
is
furnished
with
Rewe
called
Herbegrace
,
to
the
ende
to
be
the
more
stronger
and
better
disposed
.
The
wilde
Boares
doe
medicine
themselues
with
Cedria
.
The
Beares
with
Mandragoras
.
Aetites
,
otherwise
called
stone
Aquilin
,
the
which
they
bring
to
their
nestes
to
loose
themselues
,
and
to
make
them
lay
more
easie
.
The
which
at
this
daye
is
vsed
among
many
Dames
of
Italy
for
to
shorten
their
trauelings
.
Also
there
are
certain
beasts
that
serue
vs
for
medicines
,
Lorriot
named

Aristotell

Corios

of

it
is
spoken

doth
beholde
him
,
the
Bird
dyeth
,
and
the

receyueth

When
the
Swallowes
perceyue
that

are
endomaged
by

proceding
from

where
as
they
make

they
doe

Plutarch
almost
rauished
in
admiration
with
the
fauors
that
nature
hath
bestowed
vpon
beastes
,
more
than
on
men
,
durst
assure
that
the
brute
beastes
knowe
the
thrée
kindes
of
Phisick
.
For
after
that
he
hath
proued
that
they
knowe
the
vertue
and
propertie
of
manye
herbes
,
as
I
haue
before
shewed
,
addeth
more
that
they
obserue
the
second
part
,
that
we
call
Diet
:
for
when
they
féele
themselues
too
ful
,
they
moderate
their
pasture
,
and
make
abstinence
:
as
the
Lions
and
Wolfes
doe
abstaine
themselues
,
and
remaine
couched
till
they
haue
digested
all
.
And
as
for
the
thirde
part
,
whiche
is
Chirurgerie
,
some
holde
opinion
that
Eliphants
do
knowe
it
,
and
vnderstand
it
,
for
they
wil
pul
out
the
dartes
and
arrowes
of
those
that
are
stricken
without
any
daunger
.
The
which
being
liuelye
considered
by
an
auncient
Gréeke
Philosopher
named
Hirophilus
,
dyd
complaine
on
the
miserable
condition
of
man
,
who
although
he
were
elected
aboue
all
other
creatures
,
yet
he
is
in
many
things
disciple
to
beasts
.
Aristotle
writeth
in
his
hystorie
of
beastes
.
But
who
maruelleth
not
at
the
miraculous
aduenture
of
a
Crowe
,
Plutarch
writeth
to
haue
séene
in
Asia
,
oppressed
with
thirst
,
and
séeking
for

,
did
perceyue

the
which
he
filled
with
stones
to
make

Melancholike
disciplines

by
the
which
we
haue
proued
,
that
beastes
haue
knowledge
,
also
in
some
pointes
they
haue
instructed
men
.
Aristophanes

for
it
is
certaine
,
as
the

,
that
they
kepe

Therfore

In

,
not

that

In
such
sorte
that
Marcus
Aurelius
in
making
mention
of
the
auncient
diligence
of
the
Romanes
,
GOD
giuen
them
more
greater
trauaile

Beholde
the

whiche
moueth
continually
:
and
howe
that
the

.
The
Skie
and
the

are
euer
mouing
:
the
fier
can
not
be

making
some
worke
.
The
Cloudes
neuer
cease
remouing
,
the
waters
,
floudes
and
fountaines
trauell
continuallye
,
the
earth
is
neuer

she
bringeth
forth
naturally
,
hearbes
,
plant●
and
other
fruites
,
for
to
nourishe
as
well
men
as
beasts

Therfore
if
we
will
consider
all
things
,
we
shall
find
that
nature
neuer
ceaseth
traueling
.
Therfore
to
conclude
,
there
is
nothing
more
pestilent
in
a
common

,
than
ydlenesse
,
for
sh●
alwaies
inuenteth
some
mischiefe
for
th●
corruption
of
our
humanitie
,
in
such
sor●
that
we
maye
esteme
these
idle
person●
more
miserable
than
brute
beasts
:
of
the
whych
,
some
of
them
as
the
Oxen
,
gyue
their
hydes
to
make
shooes
,
their
flesh
to
eate
,
&
their
strength
to
labor
the
ground
and
the
innocent
shéepe
giueth
his
fléec●
to
make
cloth
,
his
flesh

vs
▪
his

profitable
for
to
make
manye
things
,
but
man
is
idle
,
and
profiteth
nothing
,
sauing
only
to
offende
God
,
slaunder
the
innocent
,
and
eate
the
breade
of

We
maye
then
knowe
by
th●se
things
before
written
,
what
liberalitie
nature
hath
vsed
towards
beastes
whom
she
hath
so
much
fauored
,
that
men
are
constrained
to
follow
their
maners
,
and
condicions
and
offices
,
so
well
ruled
and
ordeined
.
But
who
is
that
murtherer
that
is
so
muche
enimie
of
nature
,
or
so
gredy
of
humain
bloud
,
that
wil
not
moderate
hys
ardent
desier
(
in
stealing
or
killing
)
when
that
he
considereth
that
there
is
no
beast
how
brutish
soeuer
he
be
,
that
will
kill
or
murther
anye
of
his
kinde
?
Where
is
that
childe
so
vngratefull
towardes
his
Parents
,
but
that
maye
be
moued
with
pitie
,
when
that
he
séeth
that
the
yong
Storkes
nourish
their
parents
in
their
age
,
and
minister
vnto
them
their
necessities
,
considering
that
good
that
they
haue
receyued
of
them
in
their
youth
,
and
that
they
are
the
Authors
of
their
being
?
And
yet
Aelian
addeth
things
more
straunger
to
read
,
but
much
more
harder
to
beleue
:
that
the
yong
ones
beare
such
a
zelous
loue
towardes
their
old
parentes
,
that
if
so
be
that
they
haue
no
foode
readye
for
to
sustaine
them
with
,
they
will
vomit
that
whiche
they
haue
eaten
the
daye
before
,
to
giue
vnto
them
,
for
feare
they
shoulde
die
,
and
sustaine
them
therewith
,
till
that
they
haue
sought
foode
.
But
where
is
that
father
or
mother
so
cruell
,
that
dare
cast
of
their
fruite
,
or
intreate
them
cruelly
,
considering
that
the
Dolphin
is
such
a
zelous
protector
of
hir
yong
ones
,
that
if
it
chaunce
any
of
them
to
be
taken
of
fishermen
,
they
will
not
forsake
them
,
but
followeth
them
so
extremely
,
that
they
will
let
themselues
the
rather
to
be
taken
,
than
to
forsake
their
fruite
:
which
is
not
onely
peculiar
in
the
Dolphin
,
but
also
in
another
fish
named
Glaucus
,
which
are
about
Marcelis
,
the
which
although
she
be
not
so
sociable
&
priuy
to
man
as
the
other
,
yet
she
hath
hir
yong
ones
in
such
fauor
,
that
when
she
séeth
men
or
any
other
to
effray
than
,
she
swalloweth
them
down
into
hir
belly
aliue
,
&
when
she
perceyueth
the
daunger
to
be
past
,
she
doth
vomit
them
again
whole
&
sound
in
the
water
,
without
doing
them
any
harme
,
the
which
is
a
thing
almost
vncredible
that
this
fish
shuld
so
loue
hir
yong
ones
that
she
had
rather
suffer
harme
,
than
that
they
should
be
hurt
.
Who
is
it
therfore
that
wold
not
paciently
endure
pouertie
,
if
she
chaunce
or
happen
to
come
,
if
he
wil
contemplate
the
nature
of
the
fish
called
Polypus
,
whiche
is
a
drie
kind
,
féeling
hir self
oppressed
with
hunger
,
&
séeing
that
nourishment
faileth
,
wil
eat
the
brawn
of
hir
armes
,
being
assured
Aelian
in
his
Gréeke
Historie
,
Diphileus
,
after
that
he
had
weighed
vprightly
the
maner
and
facion
of
this
little
fowle
,
in
giuing
meat
to
hir
yong
ones
,
crieth
out
saying
:
that
this
great
work
,
maistres
dame
nature
had
graued
certaine
lawes
and
orders
in
beastes
,
whiche
ought
to
be
examples
to
men
,
howe
to
conduct
the
estate
of
theyr
life
.
In
like
maner
,
there
is
no
man
,
but
that
maye
receyue
some
doctrine
of
the
prudencie
of
the
Cuckowe
,
Fulgentius
,
for
fathers
being
men
of
small
faculties
,
and
haue
manye
children
,
that
they
shoulde
prouide
for
them
maisters
,
to
this
ende
,
that
for
default
not
to
haue
bene
maintained
in
their
youth
,
be
faine
to
begge
and
to
labor
in
their
age
,
when
as
they
should
rest
.
Moreouer
,
what
seruaunt
is
he
,
Plutarch
,
and
manye
other
Gréeke
and
Latine
Authors
worthy
of
credence
,
which
shal
be
sufficient
to
giue
feare
to
murtherers
,
bloudshedders
,
and
others
which
make
such
good
cheape
of
humaine
bloude
:
whose
doings
,
oure
Lorde
God
doeth
so
abhorre
,
that
he
permitteth
brute
beastes
to
execute
his
iustice
,
as
it
is
most
euidently
manifested
by
this
Historie
following
.
The
Elders
that
haue
written
of
the
nature
of
beastes
,
make
mention
of
a
King
named
Pyrrhus
,
the
whiche
marching
on
a
daye
with
his
armie
,
Pyrrhus
,
and
beholding
him
most
attentiuelye
,
séeming
as
though
he
woulde
haue
asked
iustice
:
which
was
the
occasion
that
the
King
and
all
the
assistants
did
suspect
the
murther
to
be
committed
by
those
,
in
such
sort
that
by
these
coniectures
,
they
were
examined
,
conuinced
,
and
punished
according
to
their
desertes
.
A
thing
miraculous
,
wherin
God
doth
shew
himself
a
iust
and
righteous
Iudge
in
his
iudgements
,
and
that
he
hath
murtherers
in
so
great
detestation
that
shed
humaine
bloud
,
that
he
permitteth
brute
beastes
to
accuse
them
and
shew
them
their
vices
.
I
might
here
bring
an
infinite
number
of
examples
as
well
Ecclesiasticall
as
prophane
,
by
the
which
it
is
euidently
shewed
,
that
in
the
contemplation
of
beastes
,
there
maye
be
found
an
harmonious
Philosophie
,
as
well
morall
as
naturall
.
For
considering
their
maners
and
actions
,
so
well
ordeyned
according
to
the
vse
of
nature
,
theyr
iustice
,
temperature
,
fortitude
and
behauiour
,
in
the
administration
of
their
smal
publike
weales
,
their
continencie
to
the
workes
of
nature
,
wyth
certaine
other
partes
of
vertue
that
they
exercise
:
by
the
diligent
consideration
of
which
,
man
may
enter
into
his
owne
conscience
and
aduise
,
as
being
ouercome
of
those
in
many
things
,
and
considering
his
miserie
and
pitifull
Metamorphose
,
and
howe
he
doth
degenerate
from
his
excellency
and
dignitie
,
he
is
moued
to
abhorre
his
life
,
finding
himselfe
inferior
to
those
whome
he
ought
to
excell
,
as
much
as
he
passeth
them
in
honor
and
dignitie
.
For
this
cause
our
Sauiour
Christe
calleth
the
Scribes
and
Phariseys
,
in
Sainct
Mathewe
,
the
children
of
wrath
.
And
that
Esaye
reprouing
the
children
of
Israell
of
their
ingratitude
towardes
God
,
sheweth
them
by
example
,
that
the
Oxe
and
the
Asse
know
their
masters
Crib
,
but
Israell
knoweth
not
his
Lorde
God
.
Also
we
are
admonished
by
the
history
of
the
herde
of
Swine
(
which
by
the
permission
of
God
were
vexed
of
the
Diuell
)
that
those
that
consume
their
life
in
deliciousnesse
,
Thus
endeth
the
first
booke
.
The
second
booke
.
WE
haue
here
in
thys
first
booke
conferred
man
with
the
beasts
,
and
shewed
that
he
néede
not
magnifie
and
exalte
him selfe
aboue
them
,
considering
that
he
is
inferior
to
them
in
many
things
.
Plinie
to
be
waile
our
humaine
calamities
,
saying
,
I
am
ashamed
to
consider
how
fraile
the
beginning
is
of
him
that
tameth
all
beasts
,
séeing
that
oftentimes
the
smell
of
a
snuffe
of
candell
ouercommeth
the
mother
.
But
whilst
he
is
in
the
wombe
of
his
mother
,
with
what
foode
is
he
nourished
,
what
preseruations
hath
nature
prepared
for
him
?
If
that
his
creation
hath
séemed
vnto
vs
straunge
,
no
doubt
his
sustentation
will
rauish
vs
in
more
greate
admiration
,
seing
that
he
is
a
substance
of
bloud
,
and
instrument
of
his
mother
.
The
which
is
so
detestable
and
vncleane
,
that
I
can
not
withoute
great
horror
rehearse
that
which
the
Philosophers
and
Phisicions
haue
written
,
that
haue
treated
of
the
secrets
of
nature
.
Those
therefore
that
are
curious
of
such
things
,
let
them
reade
Plinie
,
which
hath
written
thereof
in
his
naturall
historie
.
Paris
,
whilst
this
booke
was
a
making
,
others
cleping
together
,
as
hath
bene
séene
in
Fraunce
,
and
in
other
places
.
Two
women
children
were
borne
ioyned
together
by
the
shoulders
,
after
the
one
had
liued
a
certaine
time
,
died
and
infected
the
other
.
Polydorus
writeth
,
Hannibal
had
chased
Marcellus
,
that
a
woman
brought
forth
a
childe
,
hauing
the
heade
like
an
Eliphant
,
another
hauing
foure
féete
like
a
beast
.
The
sage
historians
doe
write
,
that
a
Courtisan
of
Rome
,
in
the
yeare
of
grace
,
fiue
hundreth
and
eightene
,
bare
a
child
halfe
a
beast
&
halfe
a
man
.
Those
that
haue
written
the
Indian
histories
,
do
testifie
for
a
suretie
,
that
there
are
at
this
present
,
children
halfe
beastes
,
by
the
occasion
of
certaine
brutish
men
that
are
there
.
Some
there
are
that
are
borne
blinde
,
others
deafe
,
others
dumbe
,
and
others
there
are
born
lame
of
their
limmes
,
for
whom
their
parents
are
sorowfull
.
In
such
sort
that
if
we
consider
attentiuely
all
the
misery
of
our
natiuitie
,
we
shall
finde
the
olde
Prouerbe
true
,
which
sayth
,
that
we
are
conceyued
in
filth
&
vnclennesse
,
borne
in
sinne
and
care
,
and
nourished
wyth
paine
and
labor
.
Here
therfore
you
may
sée
the
first
action
of
the
tragedie
of
the
life
of
humaines
.
Here
you
may
sée
his
life
and
gouernement
,
whilst
he
is
inclosed
in
his
mothers
wombe
.
Well
,
this
prisoner
being
once
come
forth
of
this
his
maternall
prison
,
let
vs
consider
what
he
is
,
being
vpon
the
earth
.
What
?
is
he
any
other
thing
than
the
similitude
of
a
poore
worme
that
commeth
out
of
the
earth
,
with
what
clothing
is
he
couered
,
making
his
most
glorious
entrie
into
the
pallace
of
this
world
?
only
with
bloud
,
in
the
which
he
is
bathed
and
couered
,
whiche
is
nothing
els
but
the
image
and
figure
of
sinne
,
which
by
the
bloud
is
signified
in
Scripture
.
O
grieuous
necessitie
,
O
cruell
and
miserable
condition
,
that
before
this
creature
hath
sinned
,
he
is
bond
and
seruant
of
sin
.
This
is
the
bitter
grape
,
of
the
which
speaketh
the
Prophet
Ieremie
,
that
our
fathers
did
eate
,
and
their
children
had
yet
their
téeth
set
on
edge
,
by
the
which
is
presented
the
originall
sinne
.
What
is
the
first
song
that
man
singeth
,
commyng
into
this
worlde
,
onely
wepings
,
teares
,
and
bewaylings
,
which
are
as
messengers
and
foreshewers
of
his
calamities
to
come
,
the
which
bicause
he
can
not
shewe
by
wordes
,
he
witnesseth
by
teares
and
cries
.
And
notwithstanding
,
here
is
the
beginning
of
Monarchs
,
Kinges
,
Princes
,
Emperors
and
others
,
that
rise
in
dignities
in
this
worlde
.
The
worme
be
he
neuer
so
little
,
as
soone
as
nature
hath
brought
it
out
of
the
earth
,
beginneth
to
craule
and
créepe
,
and
to
seke
pasture
.
The
little
Chicke
as
soone
as
he
is
out
of
the
shell
,
is
found
cleane
,
and
néedeth
not
to
be
washed
as
man
,
he
runneth
after
the
Hen
,
and
knoweth
when
he
is
called
he
pecketh
and
eateth
,
he
feareth
the
Kite
,
without
prouing
before
hir
malice
,
he
flieth
the
daunger
,
only
guided
by
nature
.
But
consider
man
,
assone
as
he
is
in
the
worlde
,
is
a
little
fearefull
monster
,
&
lump
of
flesh
,
which
will
let
himself
be
eaten
of
other
beasts
,
if
he
be
not
séene
too
,
or
die
for
hunger
before
he
can
gripe
his
mothers
breast
,
and
will
assoone
eate
poyson
as
any
good
meat
,
before
he
can
discerne
the
good
from
the
euill
:
if
he
be
left
in
his
cradell
,
he
will
be
stiffeled
in
his
owne
doung
or
filth
,
and
is
so
vnable
,
that
he
cannot
caste
out
his
owne
doung
,
and
yet
the
little
birdes
of
the
aire
,
and
beastes
can
doe
it
.
Beholde
here
the
perfumes
and
swéete
sauors
,
with
the
whiche
nature
hath
embalmed
man
,
and
decked
him
that
maketh
so
great
brag
of
Hercules
,
&
that
nameth
himselfe
chiefe
head
of
al
other
creatures
.
Titus
,
sonne
to
Vespasian
,
and
many
others
,
the
which
as
writeth
Lampridus
,
was
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
subiect
to
infirmities
and
sicknesses
,
for
that
he
was
noursed
of
one
subiect
to
sicknesse
.
But
that
worse
is
,
when
that
there
remayneth
some
spot
or
crime
in
the
soules
of
this
vicious
noursing
,
as
Dion
the
greke
writeth
,
in
the
seconde
booke
of
Cesars
,
when
he
maketh
mention
of
Caligula
,
the
fourth
Emperour
of
Rome
,
the
cruelties
and
infamies
of
whome
,
was
not
imputed
to
father
or
mother
,
but
to
the
nurse
that
gaue
him
sucke
,
the
which
being
cruell
or
barbarous
of
hir selfe
,
rubbed
the
endes
of
hir
breasts
with
bloud
,
causing
the
childe
,
to
whome
she
gaue
milke
,
to
sucke
them
.
The
which
thing
was
afterward
so
well
practised
of
him
,
that
he
did
not
only
commit
an
infinite
number
of
murthers
,
Tiberius
,
who
was
a
great
drunkerd
,
for
that
the
nurse
that
gaue
him
sucke
,
did
not
only
drinke
vnmeasurably
,
but
also
she
gaue
the
childe
soppes
tempered
in
wine
.
Euripides
writeth
after
this
sort
.
The
birth
of
children
we
may
lament
&
weepe
,
For
to
be
borne
in
miserie
so
deepe
.
Which
being
deade
,
they
must
be
laid
in
graue
,
With
sobs
&
teares
,
this
doth
our
nature
craue
,
Wherfore
serueth
life
always
possest
with
paine
Or
light
to
them
,
whom
nature
doth
disdaine
?
But
much
more
worthily
,
Remember
Lord
how
thou
hast
made
me
weak
,
Euen
as
a
Potter
hath
made
an
earthen
pot
,
The
which
he
may
transforme
and
also
breake
,
And
turned
me
to
cruds
like
Cheese
I
wot
,
Thou
hast
also
turned
me
like
to
milke
,
Clade
eke
with
skin
,
with
members
compassed
,
With
bones
and
sinewes
,
and
flesh
as
soft
as
silk
,
Replenished
with
life
,
and
wit
established
,
So
that
I
liue
vnder
thy
godly
scope
,
where
thou
doest
norish
me
to
a
more
better
hope
.
If
then
the
great
Prophet
Ieremie
hath
bewailed
by
great
compassion
the
common
weale
,
being
captiue
in
Babilon
,
and
if
Anchises
hath
lamented
the
destruction
of
Troie
,
the
Consull
Marcellus
the
citie
of
Siracusa
when
he
sawe
it
on
fier
,
and
Salust
the
corruption
of
Rome
:
We
may
wel
with
so
many
men
of
fame
bewaile
the
miserable
entrie
that
man
maketh
into
this
worlde
,
hys
aduauncement
,
and
perillous
conuersation
,
&
his
sorowfull
and
strong
departure
,
which
being
profoundly
considered
by
the
Prophet
Esaye
doth
bewaile
hys
birth
,
Theophrastus
,
We
haue
here
shewed
as
much
as
is
possible
,
by
howe
many
perillous
daungers
man
hath
his
first
comming
forth
into
this
worlde
.
Nowe
therfore
let
vs
consider
a
little
,
what
he
is
when
he
is
sprong
vp
,
let
vs
sée
whether
that
there
is
any
end
of
his
miseries
.
But
if
we
be
equitable
Iudges
,
we
shal
finde
that
rather
he
doth
encrease
his
miseries
,
for
it
is
the
season
wherein
nature
doth
reare
agaynste
him
a
more
furious
combat
,
his
bloud
beginneth
to
rise
,
the
flesh
prouoketh
him
to
his
owne
pleasure
,
the
sensualitie
doth
lead
him
,
the
malicious
worlde
espieth
him
,
the
diuell
tempteth
him
,
so
that
it
is
impossible
,
but
that
he
which
is
assailed
with
so
manye
vices
,
&
succoured
of
none
,
in
the
ende
is
discomfited
and
ouercome
,
for
in
the
bodye
in
youth
,
riot
,
libertie
,
richesse
,
and
deliciousnesse
,
aboundeth
all
the
vices
in
the
world
,
saith
Marcus
Aurelius
,
and
there
plant
their
siege
.
It
sufficeth
not
onely
this
miserable
creature
,
Man
,
to
be
norished
with
straunge
milke
,
but
also
he
must
be
constrained
to
receiue
instructions
of
others
than
of
his
parents
.
Catoes
that
will
take
the
pains
to
instruct
their
children
,
they
are
forced
to
proue
the
seueritie
of
masters
,
for
to
teach
them
the
beginning
of
Arts
&
sciences
,
seing
that
there
is
no
ground
be
it
neuer
so
fruitful
&
luckye
,
but
will
be
vnfruitfull
,
if
it
be
not
diligently
laboured
,
and
the
more
fruitfull
and
fatter
it
is
,
the
more
wéedes
and
Darnell
it
will
bring
forth
:
Also
the
more
that
the
childe
is
wakened
,
the
more
peril
there
is
,
least
he
straye
,
it
behoueth
when
the
trées
are
yong
to
vpholde
them
,
and
to
cut
the
ouerweightie
braunches
,
if
that
afterwarde
ye
pretende
to
gather
anye
fruit
.
Likewise
it
is
necessarie
to
reform
and
correct
the
vices
that
raigne
in
youth
,
least
that
afterwarde
it
returne
to
the
parents
ignominie
and
reproch
.
But
there
are
at
this
day
manie
fathers
and
mothers
,
which
for
defaulte
not
to
haue
well
instructed
their
children
in
their
youth
,
in
steade
of
rest
and
consolation
,
and
eate
their
breade
in
theyr
age
,
with
sorrow
.
Moreouer
there
are
many
mothers
,
whiche
in
steade
of
giuing
them
good
and
godlye
instructions
in
their
youth
,
intertaine
and
nourishe
them
in
volupteousnesse
and
deliciousnesse
,
but
though
they
are
nourishers
of
their
bodies
,
yet
are
they
destroyers
of
their
soules
.
And
if
Heli
was
grieuously
punished
with
his
children
,
Fatidia
.
By
the
which
it
was
ordeined
,
that
for
the
first
attempt
the
said
Law
should
be
shewed
the
child
,
for
the
seconde
time
he
should
be
corrected
,
and
the
thirde
time
hanged
,
and
the
father
to
be
banished
,
as
for
default
of
giuing
chasticement
to
their
children
,
they
were
partakers
of
their
euill
.
But
I
would
gladly
demaund
what
those
auncient
Romaines
would
doe
,
if
they
saw
the
pitiful
estate
of
many
of
oure
common
weales
,
with
what
Irons
,
with
what
bondes
or
torments
woulde
they
beate
downe
the
fathers
and
mothers
?
who
in
the
steade
of
giuing
good
exhortations
to
their
familie
,
and
to
shew
them selues
the
first
examples
of
vertue
to
their
children
,
before
that
they
send
them
to
be
instructed
,
they
them selues
doe
breake
and
depraue
them
by
their
naughty
and
wicked
examples
.
For
the
firste
precept
that
they
giue
them
how
to
liue
well
,
Herodias
did
,
that
learne
theyr
daughters
to
daunce
,
Rethoricke
termes
,
to
haunt
companies
,
scoffe
&
flout
,
to
paint
and
plaister
their
faces
,
to
deck
their
fingers
with
rings
,
&
their
neckes
with
Iuels
,
as
though
they
were
Iuell
sellers
pretending
to
kéepe
a
shop
.
But
in
the
ende
it
will
chaunce
to
them
as
it
chaunced
to
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
whose
sinne
was
punished
by
his
children
,
which
were
so
wicked
,
that
one
of
them
named
Aman
did
deflowre
his
owne
sister
Thamar
:
and
the
other
called
Absalon
did
kill
hys
brother
Aman.
Afterwarde
he
sought
the
death
of
hys
owne
father
,
and
chased
him
out
of
hys
kingdome
.
The
rule
of
the
auncient
Philosophers
hath
alwayes
bene
found
true
,
that
many
committe
manye
grieuous
crimes
in
this
world
,
the
punishing
wherof
,
God
kepeth
in
the
other
worlde
,
except
the
sinne
that
man
committeth
in
the
bringing
vp
of
his
children
,
for
the
whiche
customablye
he
beareth
the
paine
and
punishment
in
this
worlde
.
For
the
father
can
giue
to
the
child
but
fraile
and
mortall
fleshe
,
by
the
corruption
whereof
,
the
life
taketh
end
,
but
by
good
learning
and
knowledge
,
the
eternall
praise
and
memorie
redoundeth
.
Therefore
to
conclude
,
if
that
the
children
haue
bene
in
great
perill
and
misery
,
being
nourished
with
spotted
milk
,
for
the
most
part
of
straunge
nurses
,
yet
the
perill
doubleth
to
those
that
shoulde
cause
them
to
be
instructed
,
for
that
the
foode
of
the
bodie
is
more
vile
than
the
foode
of
the
soule
.
But
for
bicause
that
we
haue
not
yet
spoken
of
Plato
who
hath
more
deuinelye
philosophied
vpon
humaine
calamities
,
than
all
the
rest
of
the
heathen
,
the
whiche
he
hath
so
well
gathered
together
and
set
forth
,
that
many
reading
his
booke
of
the
immortalitie
of
the
soule
,
did
cast
them selues
from
the
hie
rockes
and
mountains
into
the
flouds
and
raging
waues
,
to
the
ende
,
that
ending
the
thréede
of
their
spitefull
life
,
they
might
haue
the
fruition
and
ioye
of
the
seconde
life
,
which
is
the
true
and
assured
place
of
rest
.
This
greate
Philosopher
Plato
,
in
a
Dialogue
that
he
hath
made
of
death
,
and
discourse
of
this
wicked
world
,
writeth
to
a
certaine
Philosopher
named
Socrates
,
and
sheweth
by
a
maruellous
eloquence
,
the
miseries
of
our
life
,
as
followeth
.
Knowest
thou
not
(
sayth
he
)
that
this
humayne
lyfe
is
as
a
pilgrimage
,
the
whiche
the
good
and
wise
men
performe
in
ioye
,
singing
with
gladnes
,
when
that
of
necessitie
they
drawe
to
their
last
end
.
Doest
thou
not
know
that
man
consisteth
of
the
soule
,
the
which
is
shut
vp
within
,
as
in
a
tabernacle
,
with
the
which
nature
hath
inclosed
vs
,
not
wythout
great
troubles
and
vexations
:
and
yet
in
the
meane
time
,
if
she
destribute
vnto
vs
any
part
of
hir
goods
,
they
are
hidden
from
vs
,
and
are
of
a
shorte
time
,
ioyned
with
sorrowe
and
bitternesse
,
at
the
occasion
whereof
,
the
soule
féeling
dolor
and
griefe
,
desireth
the
celestiall
habitation
,
and
wisheth
for
the
benefites
thereof
.
Consider
that
the
departure
out
of
this
worlde
,
is
no
other
thing
than
a
chaunging
from
euill
to
good
.
But
harken
,
sayth
he
,
from
thy
natiuitie
vnto
thy
graue
what
kinde
of
misterie
is
there
but
that
thou
hast
tasted
,
eyther
penurie
,
colde
,
heate
,
stripes
.
&c.
yea
,
before
that
man
can
shewe
his
cogitations
and
thoughtes
.
What
other
messenger
or
more
certaine
token
can
he
haue
of
his
miseries
,
than
his
wéepings
,
wailings
and
complaintes
,
after
that
he
hath
tasted
so
many
euils
,
&
that
he
is
come
to
the
seauenth
yeare
of
his
age
:
then
it
behoueth
him
to
haue
tutors
and
scholemaisters
for
to
instruct
him
in
good
learning
:
growing
further
in
yeares
,
and
comming
into
his
adolescency
,
it
behoueth
him
to
haue
more
rigorous
reformers
for
to
tame
his
wilde
youth
,
and
to
breake
him
to
labor
.
This
being
done
,
his
beard
beginneth
to
grow
,
and
then
he
becommeth
man
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
,
it
is
then
the
time
that
he
entreth
into
déeper
cogitations
and
trauaile
in
the
spirite
:
it
is
requisite
then
that
he
frequent
publike
places
,
that
he
haunt
the
company
of
those
that
are
as
touchstones
for
to
knowe
the
good
from
the
euill
.
If
he
be
come
of
a
greate
and
noble
stocke
,
he
must
make
many
enterprises
of
warre
,
to
put
himselfe
in
infinite
perils
,
hazarde
his
life
,
to
shed
hys
bloud
for
to
die
in
the
bed
of
honor
,
or
els
he
shall
be
reputed
a
dastardlye
coward
,
and
despised
of
all
men
.
If
he
be
of
base
estate
,
and
that
he
be
called
to
the
knowledge
of
Artes
,
for
all
that
he
leaueth
not
to
runne
into
a
thousand
daungers
,
trauailes
,
paines
,
and
lettings
,
aswel
of
the
bodie
as
of
the
soule
.
He
trauaileth
daye
and
night
,
and
sweateth
water
and
bloude
,
for
to
get
againe
that
which
shall
maintaine
his
estate
during
his
life
,
and
oftentimes
it
is
séene
what
paine
so
euer
man
doth
take
for
his
liuing
,
he
can
scant
get
to
serue
his
necessitie
.
It
is
not
therefore
without
a
cause
that
Marcus
Aurelius
the
Bias
the
wise
Philosopher
Gréeke
knewe
not
whether
he
should
recken
these
kind
of
people
among
the
terrestrial
or
aquitall
sort
,
&
doubted
whether
the
he
should
number
them
among
the
liuing
or
among
the
deade
.
And
another
named
Anacharsis
,
sayde
that
they
were
no
further
from
death
than
the
bredth
of
.iij.
or
ij
.
fingers
,
euen
so
much
as
the
wood
contained
in
thicknes
,
in
the
which
they
sailed
.
And
if
that
their
life
séemeth
vnto
vs
cruell
,
Dioclesian
,
Attallus
,
Cirus
,
Constantinus
Cesar
,
and
others
,
but
those
that
will
consider
these
things
more
nearer
,
they
will
saye
that
among
these
Roses
,
there
are
a
great
many
thornes
.
This
being
true
,
that
God
hauing
driuen
man
out
of
Paradise
,
sent
him
into
the
earth
,
as
to
a
place
of
exile
,
and
said
vnto
him
,
the
earth
shal
be
cursed
for
thy
sake
,
thou
shalt
eate
therof
in
trauel
and
paine
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
.
For
she
shall
bring
forth
thornes
,
wéedes
,
and
thistels
,
and
thou
shalt
eate
the
hearbes
of
the
field
,
in
the
sweate
of
thy
face
shalt
thou
eate
thy
bread
till
thou
be
turned
againe
to
earth
,
out
of
the
which
thou
wast
taken
.
But
alas
who
hath
more
experimented
or
tasted
this
which
God
hath
spoken
,
than
the
poore
labourers
or
husbandmen
,
who
manye
times
after
that
they
haue
labored
,
sowed
,
&
tilled
the
ground
,
trauelled
all
the
daye
long
,
endured
extreme
heate
of
the
sunne
,
the
rigor
of
the
colde
,
sometimes
bitings
or
stingings
of
venemous
serpentes
or
wormes
,
sweated
bloude
and
water
,
all
the
yeare
long
,
for
to
dresse
the
earth
theyr
nurse
,
hoping
to
gather
the
fruites
,
and
sodenly
behold
a
haile
,
a
frost
,
a
tempest
,
a
thunder
or
lightning
,
that
will
sodenly
defraud
them
of
all
their
hope
.
To
one

his

and
Oxen
die
:
to
another
,
whilst
that
he
is
labouring
in
the
fields
,
the
men
of
war
and
souldiers
come
and
rauish
that
which
he
hath
,
in
such
sorte
that
when
he
returneth
to
his
house
,
in
steade
of
receiuing
consolation
and
finding
rest
,
his
wife
bewaileth
,
his
children
crieth
out
,
al
his
familie
lamenteth
and
crieth
out
for
hunger
,
to
be
short
,
it
is
no
other
thing
than
a
griefe
and
a
wounde
,
hauing
a
continuall
cause
of
dolor
,
which
sodenly
complaineth
of
one
thing
,
incontinently
of

now
of

A

That

Plinie
sayth
,
it
was
inuented
for
the
necessitie
of
life
,
and
that
many
wise
men
,
as
one
Thalus
,
one
Solon
,
&
Hippocratus
haue
exercised
it
,
&
also
that
it
is
an
occasion
to
kéepe
Princes
in
peace
and
vnity
,
transporting
from
one
citie
to
another
,
that
which
aboundeth
in
the
one
,
and
lacketh
in
the
other
,
but
we
cannot
so
wel
cloke
it
,
but
that
the
eye
may
wel
sée
,
how
much
the
life
of
Merchaunts
is
vnquiet
,
and
to
how
many
daungers
they
are
subiect
continually
as
well
by
lande
as
by
sea
,
without
putting
in
accompt
,
that
for
the
most
part
of
their
time
they
are
as
Fugitiues
and
Vagabondes
from
their
townes
and
countries
,
and
they
séeme
litle
to
differ
from
banished
,
sauing
that
their
banishment
is
willingly
,
for
that
they
flie
,
runne
and
burne
by
sea
and
by
land
,
by
fiers
and
flames
,
for
a
couetous
heate
of
an
vnmeasurable
gaine
,
and
they
are
contented
to
be
depriued
of
rest
&
ease
that
they
ought
to
receiue
of
their
owne
wines
and
children
,
lands
,

,
&
to
be
at
al
times
in

of
their

by
a
thousande
meanes
and
ways
,
that
are
for
them
prepared
of
Pirats

others
,
and
al
for
an
vnsatiable
auarice
,
that
doth
daily
torment
them
,
not
forgetting
how
they
do
periure
themselues
,
beguile

deceiue
their

in
such
sort
,
that
with
great
payne
any
vsing
the
trade
can
be
made
rich
,
but
by
beguiling
of
others
,
Let
vs
consider
a
little
the
tragicall
life
and
seruitude
of
those
that
frequent
the
warres
,
Marcus
Aurelius
,
the
which
after
manye
glorious
victories
obtained
against
his
enimies
,
as
he
receyued
hys
triumphe
at
Rome
,
féeling
in
his
hearte
the
worng
that
he
had
don
to
his
neighbor
,
began
to
crie
out
when
that
he
was
conducted
to
his
chaire
of
triumph
,
saying
:
what
more
greater
follie
or
vanity
may
an
Emperor
of
Rome
haue
,
for
bicause
he
hath
conquered
many
townes
,
stirred
those
that
were
at
rest
,
destroyed
Cities
,
rased
strong
houlds
,
robbed
the
poore
,
enriched
tyrants
,
made
an
infinite
number
of
orphelines
&
widowes
,
and
in
recompence
of
al
these
harmes
,
he
is
receyued
with
triumphe
and
magnificence
,
many
are
deade
,
and
manye
haue
trauelled
and
taken
paines
,
but
one
alone
beareth
the
glorie
.
Then
he
addeth
these
wordes
:
by
the
immortall
Gods
,
when
I
was
brought
to
Rome
in
such
a
triumph
,
and
saw
the
poore
captiues
in
yron
bandes
and
chaines
,
I
powred
out
the
widdowes
lamentations
,
I
sawe
an
infinite
number
of
treasure
ill
gotten
,
then
I
remembred
them
deade
,
I
reioyced
outwardlye
,
but
inwardlye
I
wept
teares
of
bloud
,
&
began
to
crie
againste
Rome
after
this
sort
,
come
hither
Rome
why
reioycest
thou
at
the
wrongs
of
others
?
art
thou
of
more
antiquitie
than
Babilon
,
more
fairer
than
Helena
,
more
richer
than
Carthage
,
more
stronger
than
Troie
,
better
peopled
than
Thebes
,
better
compassed
with
ships
than
Corinth
,
more
delicious
than
Tyre
,
more
happier
than
Numantia
,
Helericus
King
of
the
Gothes
,
hauing
in
time
paste
destroyed
Rome
(
as
Paulus
Oroseus
sheweth
,
that
flourished
in
his
time
)
caused
to
be
proclaimed
with
the
sounde
of
a
trumpet
,
that
they
shoulde
not
molest
nor
hurre
those
that
were
fled
into
the
temple
of
S.
Peter
and
S.
Paule
.
But
things
are
come
to
suche
desolation
in
oure
age
,
that
there
is
no
sanctuarie
nor
sauegard
in
temples
nor
holie
places
,
but
the
poore
maidens
and
wiues
haue
bene
violated
,
and
the
poore
shepe
of
Iesus
Christ
haue
bene
staine
and
murthered
,
so
mad
are
men
without
sparing
aged
kind
or
dignitie
,
but
they
sacrifice
all
,
so
that
it
seemeth
that
they
will
fight
to
ouerthrowe
nature
it selfe
,
so
that
in
the
ende
it
wil
come
to
passe
(
if
that
God
prouide
not
remedie
)
that
the
publicke
weales
shall
be
peopled
with
wild
beastes
or
trées
,
for
by
littel
and
littel
the
world
waxeth
desert
.
But
what
is
the
cause
that
we
are
so
prompt
and
enclined
to
loose
and
decay
those
,
for
the
preseruation
of
which
,
our
sauiour
Christ
was
willing
to
die
:
but
why
are
we
so
desirous
of
their
life
and
bloud
,
We
haue
here
shewed
what
is
done
in
the
wars
,
&
the
recompence
of
those
that
frequent
it
.
Now
let
vs
see
what
is
done
in
the
pallaces
of
Princes
,
&
what
is
the
felicitie
of
the
Courtiers
,
which
make
a
shewe
of
their
delicatenesse
:
séemeth
there
any
greater
felicitie
in
the
world
,
than
to
haue
the
Princes
fauor
at
al
times
,
to
be
cherished
,
to
distribute
largely
to
others
,
to
take
the
best
spoyles
,
to
vse
courtly
maners
,
embracings
,
kissinges
,
conueyings
,
and
other
offices
of
humanitie
,
with
an
infinite
number
of
such
kinde
of
dregs
?
There
are
of
thys
sort
crafty
and
wilie
,
that
do
as
the
fisher
man
,
who
assone
as
he
hath
anye
thing
in
his
net
,
draweth
it
vp
,
and
so
goeth
away
withall
:
othersome
there
are
that
play
all
out
:
and
others
that
remayne
vntill
they
are
as
full
as
spunges
,
and
in
the
ende
they
are
made
to
restore
all
:
others
also
that
doe
nothing
but
inuent
subsidies
,
and
séeke
meanes
to
inlarge
or
multiplie
the
treasures
of
kings
,
and
so
become
riche
,
with
spoyling
of
the
poore
people
.
And
Princes
do
by
them
many
times
as
we
do
by
our
hogs
:
we
let
them
fatten
,
to
the
ende
to
eate
and
deuour
them
afterwarde
,
so
are
they
suffered
many
times
to
enriche
themselues
,
for
to
be
despoyled
after
when
that
they
are
so
fat
,
and
one
that
is
new
come
shal
many
times
be
preferred
in
their
places
,
here
you
may
sée
how
that
these
poore
courtiers
sel
their
liberty
for
to
become
rich
:
they
must
obey
al
commaundements
be
they
iust
or
vniust
:
they
must
frame
them selues
to
laugh
when
the
Prince
laugheth
,
to
wéepe
when
he
wéepeth
,
approue
the
whiche
he
approueth
,
&
condemne
that
which
he
condemneth
:
they
must
obey
to
al
,
alter
and
chaunge
wholy
his
nature
,
to
be
seuere
with
those
that
are
seuere
,
sorowfull
with
those
that
are
sorowfull
,
and
in
a
maner
transforme
themselues
into
the
nature
of
him
whom
they
will
please
,
or
els
to
get
nothing
.
If
the
Prince
be
impudent
,
they
must
be
the
like
,
if
he
be
cruell
,
they
must
delight
in
bloudshed
.
To
be
shorte
,
they
must
frame
themselues
to
all
ordinances
and
maners
of
the
Prince
,
or
whom
they
will
please
,
and
yet
many
times
one
little
offence
stayneth
all
the
seruice
that
one
hath
done
in
his
life
time
.
The
which
those
that
assisted
the
Emperor
Adrian
did
féele
,
who
when
they
were
elected
by
him
into
hie
estates
and
dignities
,
by
the
reporte
of
diuers
flatterers
,
they
had
not
only
taken
from
them
that
which
before
he
had
giuen
them
,
but
also
they
were
declared
to
be
his
chiefe
enimies
.
The
which
Plato
liuelye
considering
,
and
foreséeing
in
the
Court
of
the
Atheniensis
,
did
promptly
quit
their
deliciousnesse
,
and
yet
he
coulde
not
so
well
take
heede
to
himselfe
but
that
he
returned
to
Dennis
a
tyrant
of
Sicilie
,
who
in
the
ende
solde
him
to
Pirats
of
the
sea
.
But
what
happened
to
Xenon
that
olde
,
sage
,
&
graue
Philosopher
,
whom
Phalaris
in
satisfaction
of
his
seruice
,
caused
most
cruelly
to
be
put
to
death
,
as
also
did
the
King
of
Cyprus
Anacreon
to
the
noble
philosopher
Anaxagoras
:
and
Nero
his
tutor
Seneca
,
&
Alexander
,
Calistenus
,
for
that
he
wo●●
not
worship
him
,
caused
his
féete
to
be
cut
of
,
his
eares
&
his
hands
,
also
his
eyes
to
be
put
out
,
and
so
left
in
the
mercie
of
a
straight
prison
or
dungeon
,
wherein
he
finished
most
miserably
his
dayes
.
Such
hath
bene
many
times
the
ende
of
a
great
number
of
learned
men
,
who
bicause
they
woulde
not
obey
to
the
fearfull
affections
of
Monarchs
,
loste
their
liues
,
Dom
Anthonie
Guenera
,
bishop
of
Mondouent
,
and
the
Crowner
of
the
Emperor
:
and
Eneas
Siluius
,
otherwise
called
Pope
Pius
,
which
haue
compassed
twoo
most
excellent
and
perticular
treatises
of
thys
matter
,
wherein
they
haue
painted
my
maisters
the
Courtiers
so
in
their
coulors
,
that
they
haue
stayed
the
hope
of
adding
to
those
,
that
will
discouer
after
them
.
Let
vs
leaue
speaking
of
the
Courtiers
with
their
life
so
vnquiet
and
miserable
,
and
let
vs
contemplate
a
little
the
estate
of
Kings
,
Princes
,
Monarchs
and
Emperors
,
for
whome
onely
it
séemeth
that
felicitie
is
created
,
for
if
we
consider
all
that
maye
render
the
life
of
man
in
tranquility
,
happy
and
content
,
we
shall
finde
that
fortune
among
all
other
mortall
creatures
,
hathe
prouided
for
them
prodigally
.
What
maketh
man
more
wonderfull
in
this
worlde
,
but
goods
,
richesse
,
dignities
,
Empire
,
licence
to
do
good
or
euill
without
correction
,
powre
to
exercise
liberalitie
,
all
kind
of
volupteousnesse
aswell
of
the
spirite
as
of
the
bodie
.
All
that
may
be
wished
for
,
for
the
contentation
of
man
,
be
it
in
apparell
,
in
meates
or
drinkes
,
Platina
write
of
a
certaine
Pope
that
was
poysoned
by
the
siege
,
with
a
paper
that
his
seruant
did
present
him
?
others
with
the
smoke
of
torches
and
flames
.
But
thys
thing
is
most
to
be
maruelled
at
,
yea
,
and
most
horrible
to
heare
,
Henrie
,
the
seuenth
Emperor
,
as
I
haue
red
in
Fluschius
,
in
his
first
composition
of
medcinable
things
.
We
maye
reade
in
Histories
,
that
certaine
Emperors
durst
not
lie
downe
to
rest
in
the
night
,
before
that
they
had
caused
their
beds
to
be
visited
and
lien
on
,
and
all
the
places
of
their
chambers
to
be
searched
,
for
feare
that
they
had
to
be
murthred
or
strangled
in
their
sléepe
,
others
woulde
not
permit
Barbers
nor
Chirurgions
to
touch
their
face
,
for
feare
that
in
trimming
of
their
head
or
bearde
,
they
wold
take
from
them
their
life
.
And
yet
at
this
present
daye
they
are
in
such
feare
,
that
they
dare
not
put
their
meate
into
their
mouthes
,
before
that
one
haue
tasted
therof
.
Were
it
not
better
(
said
Iulius
Cesar
)
to
die
once
,
than
to
liue
always
in
such
feare
and
dread
?
But
what
felicity
can
a
king
or
a
prince
haue
,
that
hath
vnder
his
gouernement
so
manye
thousands
of
men
,
he
must
watch
for
al
,
heare
the
plaintes
and
cries
of
euerie
one
,
Pege
the
Florentine
hathe
made
a
perticular
discourse
of
the
infelicitie
of
Princes
,
he
meaneth
of
the
wicked
,
where
he
sayth
,
that
for
the
moste
part
,
thrée
kindes
of
people
are
to
them
most
agreable
and
familiar
:
flatterers
kepe
the
first
ranck
,
which
are
the
chief
enimies
of
veritie
,
and
that
empoison
their
soules
with
a
poyson
so
pestiferous
and
daungerous
,
that
it
is
contagious
to
all
the
world
:
their
follie
and
temeritie
,
they
call
it
prudencie
,
their
cruelty
is
iustice
,
Herodianus
writeth
)
if
their
Kinges
or
Princes
had
behaued
them selues
wickedlye
in
the
administration
of
the
publicke
affaire
,
they
condemned
them
for
diuels
after
their
death
,
and
assembled
in
the
temples
with
the
Priestes
,
praying
openlye
to
the
Gods
,
not
to
receiue
them
,
but
recommended
them
to
the
infernall
powers
,
to
the
ende
that
they
might
be
grieuouslye
tormented
.
The
which
hath
not
bene
onely
obserued
of
the
Elders
before
vs
,
but
also
of
certaine
in
our
time
,
as
witnesseth
Anthonius
Geuara
,
Crowner
to
the
Emperor
,
in
a
certaine
Epistle
wherein
he
sayeth
that
to
the
Viceroy
of
Sicilia
,
for
vengeance
of
the
tyrannies
that
he
had
exercised
against
his
subiectes
,
after
hys
death
,
they
made
this
Epitaphe
on
hys
tombe
that
followeth
.
Qui
propter
nos
homines
,
&
propter
nostram
salutem
descendit
ad
inferos
.
Here
you
may
sée
the
miseries
wherin
Princes
are
subiect
.
Here
are
the
thorns
that
they
receiue
in
recompence
of
their
brightnesse
and
royall
dignitie
,
whiche
ought
to
be
like
a
Lampe
,
that
giueth
light
to
all
the
world
.
But
when
that
it
is
darkened
with
any
vice
,
it
is
more
reprochable
than
in
any
other
priuate
person
.
For
they
alone
sinne
not
(
as
Plato
writeth
)
by
the
fault
that
they
commit
,
but
by
the
euill
example
that
they
giue
:
if
it
be
hard
to
be
good
(
as
Hesiodeus
writeth
)
yet
with
more
greater
difficultie
Saul
before
that
he
was
made
King
?
his
goodnesse
is
shewed
in
holy
scripture
,
whom
God
only
did
elect
,
but
neuerthelesse
he
made
a
sodaine
Eclipse
or
chaunging
.
Howe
wonderfull
was
the
beginning
of
the
raign
of
king
Salomon
,
the
which
being
plunged
in
royal
delices
,
gaue
himself
incontinently
a
praye
to
women
.
Of
.xxij.
Kings
of
Iuda
,
there
is
founde
but
fiue
or
six
that
haue
continued
in
their
vertue
&
bountie
.
As
touching
the
Kings
of
Israel
,
if
thou
wilt
consider
their
liues
from
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nabath
,
euen
to
the
last
,
which
were
in
number
.xix.
they
haue
all
in
general
,
yll
gouerned
the
affaires
of
the
kingdome
.
If
thou
do
consider
the
estate
of
the
Assirians
,
Persians
,
Grecians
,
and
Egyptians
,
thou
shalt
finde
more
wicked
than
good
.
Let
vs
consider
what
the
Romane
Emperors
were
,
which
haue
bene
estéemed
the
most
flourishing
common
welth
in
the
worlde
,
thou
shalt
find
them
so
ouercomed
with
vices
and
all
kinde
of
cruelties
,
that
I
doe
almoste
adhorre
to
read
in
Histories
their
liuings
so
corrupt
&
defiled
.
What
was
the
estate
of
their
common
wealth
before
that
Silla
&
Marius
did
chaunge
it
,
before
that
Catallina
and
Catulla
did
perturbe
it
,
before
that
Iulius
Cesar
and
Pompeius
did
slaunder
it
,
before
that
Augustus
and
Marcus
Antonius
did
destroy
it
,
Tiberius
and
Caligula
did
defame
it
,
before
that
Domitian
and
Nero
did
depraue
it
.
For
althoughe
that
they
had
made
it
riche
with
manye
kingdomes
and
Lordships
,
notwithstanding
the
vices
that
they
brought
with
them
,
are
more
greater
than
the
kingdomes
that
they
haue
gained
,
for
the
goods
and
richesse
are
lost
,
but
the
vices
remaine
vnto
this
daye
.
But
what
memory
remaineth
now
of
Romulus
that
founded
it
,
of
Neuma
Pompillius
that
erected
the
Capitol
so
hie
,
of
Ancus
Martius
that
compassed
it
with
walles
,
of
Brutius
that
deliuered
it
from
tyrants
,
of
Camillius
that
draue
out
the
French
men
.
Did
not
they
shew
by
their
doings
what
felicitie
is
in
the
principall
,
the
which
is
more
subiect
to
the
assaults
of
fortune
,
than
any
other
earthly
things
,
for
manye
times
the
threde
of
life
breaketh
when
that
they
thinke
least
of
death
,
an●
then
the
infamie
of
those
that
are
wicked
,
is
written
in
histories
for
a
perpetual
memory
therof
.
The
which
thing
Kings
,
Princes
,
Emperors
,
and
others
constituted
in
dignities
,
ought
more
to
feare
a
thousande
folde
,
than
the
toung
that
speaketh
euill
,
the
whiche
can
but
shame
the
liuing
,
but
bookes
slaunder
&
defame
the
deade
.
All
the
which
things
being
liuely
considered
by
Dioclesian
,
and
manye
other
Emperors
,
they
forsooke
their
Scepters
and
Empires
,
and
withdrew
them
into
the
fieldes
,
louing
much
better
to
remaine
the
rest
of
their
life
in
some
desert
place
,
and
to
be
content
with
a
little
,
that
to
enioy
the
crooked
honors
of
this
world
.
Let
vs
leaue
speaking
of
Kings
,
and
come
we
to
the
Ecclesiastical
sort
,
Adrian
,
a
man
learned
and
of
a
good
life
,
hauing
many
times
waied
and
considered
,
was
accustomed
to
saye
with
teares
to
his
most
priuiest
friendes
,
that
among
all
the
estates
of
the
worlde
,
there
was
none
that
séemed
to
hym
more
miserable
,
and
more
perillous
of
condition
,
than
the
estate
of
Popes
and
Pontificalles
.
For
although
the
throne
and
seidge
wherein
he
did
sit
,
was
richly
decked
with
diuers
pompes
,
yet
was
it
filled
with
many
sharp
thornes
,
and
the
precious
cloke
with
the
whiche
they
were
couered
,
Adrian
,
on
the
Popish
ornamentes
,
we
shall
finde
it
not
vnprofitable
:
for
although
many
haue
gaped
for
that
dignitie
,
yet
if
ye
reade
Platina
and
others
that
haue
written
their
liues
,
you
shall
finde
them
so
wicked
,
that
ye
will
saye
that
there
are
manye
Wolues
among
these
pastors
.
In
consideration
thereof
S.
Bernard
lamenteth
the
condition
of
Pope
Eugenius
,
when
that
Rome
was
lesse
depraued
than
it
is
at
this
day
:
but
what
iust
occasion
shoulde
he
haue
to
complain
,
if
he
had
sene
the
disorder
and
confusion
that
hath
raigned
since
hys
time
.
Well
let
vs
leaue
the
heades
,
and
come
to
the
members
,
and
séeke
the
matter
more
further
,
Aristotel
writeth
)
inuentors
of
Mathematickes
,
and
their
lifes
were
so
well
ruled
,
and
their
discipline
had
in
so
great
admiration
,
that
Ligurges
,
Pythagoras
,
Plato
,
Democrites
,
and
the
most
part
of
the
renoumed
Philosophers
of
Gréece
did
forsake
their
countries
and
Prouinces
to
become
disciples
to
the
Priests
of
Egypt
.
The
Babilonians
haue
vsed
the
like
in
the
choosing
of
their
priests
,
which
they
called
Chaldeys
,
who
as
writeth
Deodorus
the
Sicilian
,
after
that
they
had
said
their
praiers
and
deuine
seruice
,
ceased
not
al
the
rest
of
their
life
to
philosophie
,
and
contemplate
the
secretes
of
the
firmament
,
in
such
sorte
,
that
we
are
detter
to
them
for
many
secrets
of
Astrologie
,
Mages
,
which
is
as
muche
to
saye
as
sage
and
wise
,
who
aswell
for
their
excellencie
of
learning
,
as
their
solitarie
life
,
they
haue
so
reuerenced
,
that
in
their
moste
vrgent
affaires
,
they
made
their
refuge
to
them
as
to
their
Gods
.
The
Indians
in
like
maner
to
their
Priests
,
whom
they
call
Gymnosophistes
,
being
so
prompt
in
doctrine
,
and
so
wel
ruled
in
good
maners
,
that
they
alone
aboue
other
men
by
their
eloquence
confuted
the
greate
tyrant
Alexander
,
which
was
minded
to
spoyle
and
waste
their
countrie
,
but
he
was
so
wel
appeased
,
after
the
he
had
heard
them
(
as
Plutarchus
writeth
,
that
he
did
not
only
leaue
them
without
harme
,
but
hauing
their
prudencie
in
admiration
,
left
them
in
liberties
and
fredomes
,
and
honoured
them
with
an
infinite
number
of
treasures
and
magnificall
presents
.
Also
the
auncient
Gaules
or
Frenchmen
,
the
which
at
that
time
had
no
knowledge
of
the
Gospell
,
had
(
as
writeth
Cesar
in
his
Commentaries
)
their
Priestes
,
whome
they
called
Druids
,
who
were
so
straight
of
liuing
,
and
of
so
great
doctrine
in
so
great
admiration
,
that
they
wondred
at
them
,
as
if
they
had
bene
Gods
:
who
after
that
they
had
bestowed
a
certayne
time
in
their
ceremonies
and
sacrifices
,
instructed
youth
,
disputed
of
the
immortalitie
of
the
soule
,
of
the
mouings
of
the
firmament
,
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
world
,
and
of
the
nature
of
things
,
and
so
lead
the
estate
of
their
life
in
vertuous
occupations
and
works
,
not
letting
one
minute
of
the
time
to
slip
without
bearing
some
profite
to
the
common
weale
.
Here
is
the
state
,
here
is
the
life
,
here
is
the
maners
and
occupations
of
Priests
that
had
no
knowledge
of
God
,
without
law
,
without
faith
,
without
hope
of
a
second
life
,
and
without
feare
of
Gods
punishmentes
.
Let
vs
conferre
the
doctrine
of
the
most
part
of
our
Priests
,
their
lyfe
,
maners
and
conuersation
,
and
we
shall
finde
that
these
one
day
shal
rise
against
them
,
euen
at
the
daye
of
iudgement
,
and
shal
be
the
accusers
of
their
wicked
life
:
it
is
vnto
the
wicked
to
whome
I
speake
,
it
is
vnto
the
vices
,
and
not
vnto
the
persons
.
I
know
well
that
there
are
a
great
number
of
good
and
learned
pastors
in
manye
Christian
Regions
and
Prouinces
,
which
are
vigilant
and
carefull
for
the
flocke
,
to
whome
they
preach
most
worthily
the
word
of
God
.
I
know
also
that
there
are
many
excellent
Doctors
in
this
uniuersitie
,
and
in
other
places
,
by
whose
good
erudition
and
doctrine
all
Europe
is
at
this
daye
illuminated
.
But
to
the
contrarie
,
how
many
Priestes
are
there
in
the
world
,
that
are
drowned
in
suche
ignorance
,
that
wyth
great
paine
they
can
saye
a
Masse
,
but
must
mumble
it
betwéene
their
téeth
,
for
feare
that
their
faults
be
discouered
,
so
dull
are
they
,
without
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
dignitie
,
powre
and
strength
of
the
sacraments
which
they
minister
.
There
are
manye
pastors
at
this
day
that
haue
better
skil
in
Courtly
facions
,
or
els
in
some
other
vanitie
,
than
in
desoluing
the
doubtes
of
Predestination
,
of
liberall
arbitrement
,
and
others
that
are
founde
in
the
holy
scripture
.
They
are
those
of
whom
crieth
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
that
they
serue
for
no
thing
but
to
féede
themselues
,
George
,
lodged
in
the
suberbious
and
magnificall
pallaces
of
Kings
,
but
the
others
were
manie
times
lodged
in
Charters
and
prisons
of
tyrants
,
but
the
Lorde
God
will
one
daye
come
with
a
whip
,
and
whip
these
Merchants
and
choppers
of
benefices
out
of
his
temple
.
If
we
wil
curiously
séeke
out
what
is
done
in
the
Ciuile
life
,
Plato
calleth
them
a
monster
with
many
heads
,
and
mutable
,
vncertaine
,
deceitfull
,
readye
to
wrath
,
readye
to
praise
or
dispraise
without
prouidence
or
discretion
,
variable
in
their
talke
,
vnlearned
,
obstinate
,
and
therefore
it
behoueth
that
the
life
of
a
Iudge
be
conformable
to
their
will
,
for
as
he
iudgeth
openly
,
so
shal
he
be
iudged
of
them
secretly
,
not
only
in
matters
of
weight
&
importance
,
but
in
those
of
smal
consequencie
.
For
alwayes
the
people
will
finde
some
fault
,
as
Plutarchus
writeth
in
his
pollicies
.
The
Atheniensies
murmured
at
their
Simonidus
for
that
he
spake
too
hie
:
the
Thebians
accused
Paniculus
,
for
that
he
would
spit
oftentimes
:
the
Lacedemonians
noted
their
Ligurges
,
for
that
he
went
alwayes
holding
downe
of
hys
head
:
the
Romanes
founde
a
great
vice
in
Scipion
,
for
that
in
sléeping
he
snorted
too
loude
:
the
Vticences
defamed
the
good
Cato
in
his
eating
:
they
founde
Pompeius
vnciuile
,
for
that
he
woulde
scratch
with
one
finger
onely
:
the
Carthagians
blamed
Hannibal
,
for
that
he
was
alwayes
vnlaced
and
open
before
his
stomacke
:
others
murmured
at
Iulius
Cesar
,
for
that
he
caried
the
girdell
of
euil
grace
.
And
yet
this
is
but
little
in
comparison
of
other
good
men
,
that
this
people
or
common
sort
haue
persecuted
,
banished
,
and
in
the
ende
put
to
death
in
satisfaction
of
their
good
seruices
that
they
had
done
in
the
common
welth
.
If
that
greate
Orator
Demosthenes
were
aliue
,
he
could
say
somewhat
,
who
after
that
he
had
bene
so
iust
and
faithfull
a
protector
of
his
common
wealth
of
Athens
,
was
in
the
ende
vniustlye
banished
,
as
though
he
had
committed
some
notable
crime
.
Socrates
was
also
poysoned
.
Hannibal
was
so
yll
treated
of
his
that
he
was
constrained
to
wander
miserably
in
the
world
.
The
Romanes
did
the
like
to
Camilus
:
the
Gréekes
to
Ligurges
and
Solon
:
the
one
of
them
was
stoned
,
and
the
other
hauing
the
eye
pulled
out
,
was
banished
like
a
murtherer
.
Moyses
and
many
other
holy
men
haue
so
manye
times
tasted
the
furie
of
the
people
,
that
if
they
were
this
day
liuing
they
would
poure
out
maruellous
complaintes
against
them
.
And
as
we
haue
shewed
and
set
forth
the
defauts
and
miseries
that
procede
of
the
peoples
parte
,
so
must
we
in
like
case
put
into
the
balance
,
the
errors
and
corruptions
that
is
found
in
wicked
Iudges
,
of
the
which
sorte
,
Pilate
that
condemned
Christ
to
death
,
for
feare
that
he
had
to
displease
the
Emperor
Tiberius
Cesar
:
other
magistrates
are
corrupted
by
loue
,
as
was
Herod
the
Tetrarch
,
who
for
to
please
by
foolishe
loue
the
Damsell
that
daunced
,
condemned
to
death
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
although
that
he
knewe
he
was
iust
and
innocent
.
Some
are
many
times
corrupted
by
hatred
,
as
was
the
chiefe
Priest
,
who
of
malice
condemned
S.
Paul
to
be
smitten
and
stoned
,
thoughe
he
deserued
it
not
.
Sometimes
the
Magistrates
are
corrupted
by
golde
and
siluer
,
and
other
giftes
and
presentes
,
as
were
the
children
of
the
Prophete
and
great
Prieste
Samuel
,
and
this
disease
is
so
contagious
,
that
at
this
day
it
is
common
among
many
.
They
all
loue
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
presents
,
they
all
séeke
for
gifts
,
they
do
not
right
to
the
orphelin
,
and
the
widdowes
complaint
commeth
not
before
them
,
and
in
another
place
,
woe
be
to
you
that
are
corrupted
by
mony
,
and
by
prayers
,
by
hatred
or
loue
,
and
that
iudgeth
the
good
to
be
euill
,
and
the
euill
to
be
good
,
making
of
light
darknesse
,
and
of
darkenesse
light
,
woe
be
to
you
that
haue
not
respect
to
the
merits
of
things
,
but
to
the
merits
of
men
,
that
regardeth
not
equitie
,
but
gifts
that
are
giuen
,
that
regardeth
not
iustice
,
but
monye
,
which
regard
not
that
which
reason
ordeineth
,
but
only
to
the
affection
whereas
youre
desiers
doth
guide
you
:
you
are
diligent
in
riche
mens
causes
,
but
you
defer
the
cause
of
the
poore
,
you
are
to
them
cruell
and
rigorous
,
but
to
the
riche
,
louing
and
tractable
.
Then
Wisdome
following
the
like
matter
,
sayeth
,
the
poore
crieth
and
no
man
giueth
eare
,
but
one
will
aske
what
he
is
,
the
riche
man
speaketh
,
and
all
the
world
pleadeth
his
cause
,
and
lifteth
vp
his
wordes
with
admiration
euen
to
the
skie
,
yet
this
is
not
enough
,
for
when
that
they
are
in
the
degrée
of
honor
,
they
haue
another
worme
that
gnaweth
them
,
they
do
with
their
children
as
the
mother
of
Zebede
saide
,
There
resteth
now
nothing
more
but
to
know
what
is
done
in
Matrimonie
,
séeing
that
we
haue
sought
out
in
generall
the
miseries
of
all
the
estates
of
the
world
.
There
is
nothing
more
certaine
,
if
we
will
weye
in
our
mindes
the
originall
of
Matrimonie
,
excellent
,
and
well
accomplished
on
both
partes
,
Plato
did
his
Common
weale
,
Cicero
his
Orator
,
&
S.
Augustine
in
his
Citie
of
God
.
There
is
nothing
in
the
worlde
,
whiche
may
compare
in
pleasures
to
mariage
▪
be
it
true
,
the
fortune
aswell
prosperous
as
aduerse
is
common
,
and
that
more
is
,
there
is
so
great
Communaltie
of
bodie
and
vnxion
of
spirites
,
that
they
séeme
two
,
transformed
into
one
.
And
if
the
pleasures
séeme
to
vs
greate
,
to
confer
our
affaires
and
secrets
with
our
friendes
and
neighbors
,
how
much
is
the
delectation
more
greater
that
we
receiue
,
to
discouer
our
thoughtes
to
hir
,
that
is
ioyned
to
vs
by
such
a
place
of
charitie
,
that
we
put
our
truste
in
hir
,
as
in
oure selues
,
making
hir
wholy
treasurer
or
faithfull
kéeper
of
many
inwarde
secretes
and
cogitations
of
our
soule
.
But
what
may
be
more
greater
witnesse
of
feruent
loue
,
than
to
forsake
Father
,
Mother
,
Sisters
and
Brothers
,
and
generally
all
the
Consanguinitie
till
they
become
enimie
of
themselues
,
for
to
follow
a
husband
that
doeth
honor
and
reuerence
hir
,
and
hauing
all
other
things
in
disdaine
,
she
only
cleaueth
to
him
,
if
he
be
riche
,
she
kéepeth
his
goods
,
if
he
be
poore
,
she
employeth
all
the
Arte
that
nature
hath
giuen
hir
for
to
compare
with
him
in
his
pouertie
,
if
he
be
in
prosperitie
,
his
felicitie
is
redoubled
in
hir
,
she
séeing
hir selfe
partaker
of
his
benefits
,
if
he
be
in
aduersitie
,
she
beareth
but
the
one
halfe
of
the
griefe
,
and
furthermore
counterfeiteth
him
,
assisteth
and
serueth
him
.
If
a
man
wyll
remayne
solitarie
in
his
house
,
his
wife
keepeth
him
companie
,
doeth
cherishe
and
comfort
him
,
and
causeth
him
more
easilye
to
digest
the
incommodity
of
his
solicitude
,
if
he
wil
go
to
the
fieldes
,
she
conducteth
him
with
eye
,
so
far
as
she
can
sée
him
,
she
desireth
and
honoreth
him
,
being
absent
,
she
complaineth
and
sigheth
as
if
he
were
always
by
hir
,
being
come
home
,
he
is
wel
receiued
,
cherished
and
fauored
,
with
the
best
shewes
and
tokens
of
loue
that
nature
hath
shewed
,
in
such
sort
,
that
for
to
speake
the
truth
,
it
séemeth
that
a
wife
is
a
gift
from
heauen
graunted
to
man
,
as
well
for
the
contentation
of
youth
,
as
for
the
rest
and
solace
of
age
,
nature
can
giue
vs
but
one
father
and
one
mother
,
but
mariage
representeth
many
in
our
children
,
the
which
do
reuerence
and
honor
vs
,
who
are
more
deare
than
our
own
proper
bowels
,
being
yong
&
little
they
play
,
laugh
&
shew
vs
many
Apysh
toyes
,
they
prepare
vs
an
infinite
number
of
pleasures
,
in
suche
sorte
,
that
by
their
toyes
and
pastimes
that
nature
hath
giuen
vs
for
to
deceiue
and
passe
away
part
of
our
miserable
life
(
if
we
be
besieged
with
age
,
a
thing
common
to
all
)
they
solace
the
discommoditie
of
our
age
,
close
our
eyes
,
bring
vs
to
the
earth
from
whence
we
came
:
they
are
oure
bones
,
our
flesh
and
bloud
,
séeing
them
,
we
sée
our selues
,
in
such
sort
that
the
father
séeing
his
children
,
may
be
assured
that
he
séeth
his
liuelye
youth
renued
in
the
face
of
his
children
,
in
whom
we
are
regenerate
and
borne
againe
,
in
suche
sort
,
that
the
age
(
being
a
heauy
burthen
)
is
not
grieuous
vnto
vs
,
beholding
the
mirrors
or
similitudes
of
our selues
that
eliuate
the
memorie
of
vs
,
and
make
vs
almost
immortal
,
in
procreating
and
ingendring
others
after
vs
,
as
the
Ioynt
or
slip
being
taken
from
a
trée
,
of
the
which
groweth
many
others
:
the
which
I
haue
treated
more
at
large
in
a
booke
that
I
brought
to
light
the
last
yeare
,
of
the
dignitie
of
Mariage
,
in
the
which
I
thinke
I
did
omit
nothing
of
that
that
pertayneth
to
the
whole
ornament
and
decking
of
the
coniunction
of
Matrimonie
:
therefore
,
for
feare
to
be
accused
of
vnconstancie
,
or
counted
a
turn
tippet
,
I
will
not
nowe
dispraise
that
which
I
haue
so
muche
exalted
.
But
for
that
my
subiect
(
that
treateth
of
the
miseries
of
all
estates
in
our
dayes
)
requireth
that
I
giue
no
more
pardon
of
this
,
than
I
did
to
the
others
,
I
will
in
fewe
words
shew
that
which
I
haue
reade
in
manie
Authors
,
the
which
confesse
with
me
,
that
there
is
much
swéete
and
pleasant
things
in
mariage
.
But
if
we
doe
well
consider
and
weye
in
a
iust
ballance
the
great
and
vnsupportable
déedes
,
we
shall
finde
among
these
Roses
,
manye
thornes
,
and
among
these
sweete
shoures
of
raine
,
we
shall
find
that
there
falleth
alwayes
much
haile
,
Armosins
,
who
had
the
charge
to
correct
the
insolencie
of
women
,
to
reproue
their
arrogancie
and
audacitie
towards
their
husbands
.
The
Romanes
would
not
ordeyne
Magistrates
,
perswading
with
themselues
that
men
were
not
sufficient
to
bridle
the
raging
temeritie
of
women
that
they
did
poure
out
,
but
they
had
their
refuge
to
the
Gods
,
and
dedicated
a
temple
to
the
Goddesse
Vitiplaca
,
where
in
the
end
they
accorded
of
their
domesticall
quarrels
.
But
who
can
(
say
they
)
paciently
beare
the
charges
of
Mariage
,
the
insolency
and
arrogancye
of
women
,
William
de
la
Perriere

fearfull

Diponares
hauing
tased
the
martirdomes
of
mariage
,
said
that
there
were
but
twoo
good
dayes
in
all
the
life
of
mariage
,
the
one
was
the
wedding
day
,
and
the
other
the
day
that
the
woman
dieth
,
for
that
on
the
day
of
mariage
,
there
is
made
good
cheare
,
the
Bride
is
fresh
and
new
,
and
all
new
things
are
pleasant
,
and
of
all
pleasures
the
first
is
moste
delectable
.
The
other
day
that
he
sayth
is
good
,
is
the
daye
wherein
the
woman
dieth
,
for
that
the
beast
being
deade
,
deade
is
the
poison
,
and
that
by
the
death
of
the
woman
the
husband
is
out
of
bondage
.
In
confirmation
wherof
,
there
is
recited
a
pretie
historie
of
a
noble
Romane
,
who
the
day
after
his
mariage
,
after
that
he
had
lien
the
first
night
with
his
wife
,
was
verye
pensiue
and
sorowfull
,
and
being
demaunded
of
certaine
of
his
familiar
friends
,
what
was
the
occasion
of
his
sorrow
,
séeing
that
his
wife
was
so
faire
,
riche
,
and
come
of
a
noble
progenie
:
shewing
them
his
foote
,
he
stretcheth
out
his
leg
,
saying
,
my
friendes
,
my
shooe
is
newe
,
faire
and
well
made
,
but
you
know
not
where
about
it
doeth
hurt
and
grieue
me
.
Also
is
alleaged
the
saying
of
Philemon
,
that
saide
that
the
woman
was
to
the
man
a
necessarie
euill
,
séeing
that
there
is
nothing
more
harder
to
finde
in
this
woride
,
than
a
good
woman
,
following
the
auncient
Prouerb
,
that
sayth
that
a
good
woman
,
a
good
Mule
,
and
a
good
Goate
,
and
thrée
daungerous
beastes
.
Also
is
recited
the
saying
of
Plutarchus
,
the
which
demaundeth
if
there
be
any
thing
more
lighter
than
a
womans
tongue
vnbridled
,
more
pricking
than
hir
wordes
,
more
to
be
feared
than
hir
boldnes
,
more
execrable
than
hir
malice
,
more
daungerous
than
hir
furie
,
or
more
dissembling
than
hir
teares
,
not
putting
in
account
manye
other
things
that
he
reciteth
of
the
discommodities
of
their
worke
,
for
that
many
times
men
are
constrained
to
nourishe
other
mens
children
,
or
if
by
chaunce
they
are
the
husbands
,
he
is
in
hazarde
to
be
the
father
of
wicked
children
.
The
which
manie
times
are
the
desolution
and
dishonor
of
their
fathers
house
,
and
a
reproch
and
shame
to
all
their
kinred
.

that
at

Constantinople
haue
bene
persecuted
with
a
plague
so
horrible
,
that
those
that
were

thought
themselnes
to
be
killed
of
other
men
,
and
being
in
this
trouble
and
feare
,
they
furiouslye
thought
that
they

bene
killed
.
In
the
time
of
Heraclius
there
chaunsed
such
a
contagious
plague
or
pestilence
in
Romainie
,
that
in
a
short
time
there
died
manye
thousandes
of
men
,
and
the
violence
of
the
sickenesse
was
so
grieuous
,
that
manye
vnpacient
in

,
drowned
them selues
in
Tyber
,
to
staunch
and

the
extreme
heate

burned

Thucydides

Marcus
Aurelius
an
Author

assureth
that
in

the

great
in

that
the
Writers
that
woulde
haue

hadde

put

the

than
the
infinite
number
of

The
souldiers
of
Auidius
Cassius
that
was
Lieutenant
to
Marcus
Anthonius
the
Emperor
,
being
in
Selucia
a
town
of
Babilonia
,
entred
into
the
great
Temple
of
Apollo
,
whereas
they
found
a
Coffer
,
Babilonia
,
and
then
proceded
into
Grecia
,
and
from
Gréece
to
Rome
,
whereas
it
moued
so
many
pestilences
,
that
it
caused
to
perish
almost
the
third
part
of
humaine
kinde
.
Let
vs
leaue
the
auncient
histories
,
and
treate
of
those
that
haue
passed
vnder
our
age
,
to
the
end
that
we
(
being
Christians
)
may
learne
by
the
great
miseries
and
afflictions
,
that
God
hath
sent
vs
,
the
great
fragilitie
and
miserie
of
oure
humaine
condition
.
For
when
that
hys
wrath
is
kindled
against
our
sinnes
,
he
maketh
vs
to
féele
the
darts
of
his
rigorous
Iustice
,
there
is
no
kinde
of
paine
nor
torment
,
but
that
therwith
he
afflicteth
and
persecuteth
his
creatures
,
what
experience
had
we
in
the
yeare
a
thousand
fiue
hundreth
,
twentie
eight
?
when
that
the
plague
was
so
grieuous
in
the
French
Camp
,
Ioachim
Scilerus
writeth
,
that
when
the
pestilence
tormented
so
furiously
(
and
by
so
long
space
of
time
)
Englande
,
Aix
,
Prouincia
,
whereas
the
people
of
all
ages
died
in
eating
and
drinking
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
Churchyardes
were
so
full
of
deade
bodies
,
that
there
was
founde
no
more
place
to
burie
them
,
and
the
most
parte
of
the
diseased
,
fell
into
a
fransie
the
second
day
,
and
would
cast
themselues
into
Welles
,
others
fell
oute
of
their
windowes
into
the
streetes
.
Some
other
were
vexed
with
a
bloudie
Flir
by
the
nose
,
the
which
did
runne
day
and
night
violently
,
and
with
the
losse
of
their
bloude
they
lost
their
liues
,
and
it
came
to
such
extremitie
&
desolation
,
that
women
with
childe
brought
forth
the
fruite
of
their
wombe
out
of
time
,
they
and
their
fruit
dying
,
the
which
afterward
were
chaunged
to
a
violet
or
blewish
colour
,
as
if
the
bloud
had
ben
spred
al
ouer
their
bodies
.
And
to
be
short
,
the
desolation
was
so
great
,
that
the
father
kept
no
count
of
his
childe
,
nor
the
husbande
of
his
wife
,
yea
with
monie
in
their
handes
,
oftentimes
they
died
for
default
of
a
glasse
of
water
,
or
if
by
fortune
they
had
for
to
eate
,
the
sicknesse
was
so
cruel
and
short
that
they
died
many
times
with
meat
in
their
mouthes
,
and
the
furie
of
this
contagion
was
so
inflamed
,
and
al
the
town
so
infected
,
that
with
their
looke
that
they
wold
cast
vpon
some
,
they
woulde
infect
them
,
and
their
winde
and
breath
was
so
venemous
,
that
there
would
rise
botches
and
sores
on
the
parties
that
therewith
were
attainted
.
It
is
a
fearful
and
pitiful
thing
in
nature
,
the
which
a
Phisition
left
vs
in
writing
,
the
which
was
ordeined
of
the
chiefe
of
the
Citie
,
to
visite
the
sicke
,
that
the
euill
was
so
cruell
,
that
no
remedie
might
be
found
,
so
that
they
that
were
taken
therewith
,
had
no
hope
of
health
,
but
by
the
assault
of
death
.
And
they
were
so
acquainted
therewith
,
that
when
they
felt
them selues
taken
,
they
themselues
woulde
take
a
shéete
,
and
lie
downe
aliue
thereon
,
looking
for
no
other
thing
than
the
violent
departing
that
the
soule
hath
,
Asia
,
Europa
,
&
Affrica
,
but
I
wyll
only
make
mention
of
them
of
most
memorie
,
aswell
Prophanes
,
as
of
those
in
holie
scripture
,
to
the
end
that
those
that
liue
in
this
world
as
in
a
pallace
of
volupteousnesse
without
hauing
tasted
the
miseries
and
calamities
to
the
which
we
are
subiect
,
when
that
it
pleaseth
the
Lorde
God
to
poure
doune
vpon
his
creatures
the
arrowes
of
his
wrath
and
malediction
,
be
prouoked
to
acknowledge
the
souereigne
and
mightie
power
of
their
Creator
,
and
the
pitifull
estate
of
humaine
kinde
,
subiect
to
so
many
miseries
.
We
will
therfore
begin
with
those
of
the
Romaines
.
After
the
great
ruine
of
Italie
,
and
that
Tottilleus
the
chiefe
enimie
of
humaine
kinde
,
had
besieged
Rome
,
they
fell
into
such
scarcitie
of
foode
and
sustenance
,
that
they
were
faine
to
eate
all
kinde
of
filthy
beastes
&
vermin
,
as
horses
,
dogs
,
cattes
,
rattes
,
mise
,
and
snch
like
,
yea
,
and
in
the
ende
they
did
eate
one
another
,
a
thing
moste
fearfull
to
heare
of
,
that
when
Gods
iustice
doth
oppresse
vs
,
we
are
brought
to
such
necessitie
,
that
we
spare
not
our
like
,
yea
,
the
mothers
their
children
.
Eusebius
sheweth
in
his
Ecclesiasticall
historie
.
It
is
a
straunge
thing
to
heare
,
but
more
abhominable
and
monstrous
to
sée
,
that
when
the
great
Scipio
besieged
the
great
Citie
of
Numantia
,
and
that
he
had
taken
awaye
all
the
meanes
for
them
to
get
vittailes
,
Samaria
,
Iosephus
,
the
seuenth
booke
and
thirde
Chapter
of
the
warres
of
the
Iewes
,
telleth
a
Historie
almoste
conformable
to
this
before
rehearsed
,
but
executed
after
a
more
straunger
and
detestable
maner
.
He
sayeth
that
there
was
a
woman
noble
and
riche
,
Titus
,
Vespasians
son
,
the
whiche
had
gathered
together
parte
of
hir
goods
,
that
she
had
had
in
times
past
,
and
liued
solitarilye
of
that
little
that
she
had
,
but
the
souldiers
and
men
of
war
did
take
all
away
from
hir
,
in
such
sort
that
when
that
she
had
made
ready
a
morsell
of
meat
for
hir
own
eating
,
they
would
take
it
away
by
force
,
so
that
she
had
nothing
remayning
.
So
that
afterward
she
hirself
was
oppressed
with
verie
great
hunger
,
so
that
she
wished
hirselfe
out
of
the
worlde
,
but
hir
houre
was
not
yet
come
.
Wherefore
that
she
might
slake
hir
hunger
,
and
sustaine
hir
life
,
she
armed
hirself
against
the
lawes
of
nature
,
and
tooke
vpon
hir
an
horrible
crueltie
,
for
when
she
hearde
hir
childe
crie
,
the
whiche
she
helde
in
hir
armes
,
she
saide
vnto
him
,
what
shall
I
doe
my
sonne
,
for
the
wrath
of
God
hath
enuironed
this
Citie
,
Iosephus
.
But
for
that
there
are
some
that
are
nothing
moued
in
reading
histories
,
monuments
,
or
the
examples
of
auncient
writers
,
vnlesse
that
they
haue
knowen
the
like
in
their
age
,
or
séen
with
their
eyes
,
or
as
it
were
touched
with
their
finger
,
therefore
I
will
shew
here
howe
that
God
doeth
spare
vs
no
more
,
than
he
hath
done
our
Elders
before
vs
,
when
that
he
is
angrie
for
oure
sinnes
,
as
it
shal
be
plainely
shewed
by
this
Historie
that
followeth
,
the
whiche
Willyam
Paradin
hath
written
,
Paradin
writeth
,
to
haue
séene
at
a
place
called
Louhans
in
Burgonie
,
a
poore
woman
,
the
which
by
great
means
and
importunitie
had
found
the
meanes
to
get
a
piece
of
bread
,
the
which
was
sodenly
snatched
out
of
hir
hand
,
by
a
litle
childe
of
hirs
,
the
which
she
gaue
sucke
to
,
and
held
in
hir
armes
,
the
which
was
scant
a
yeare
olde
,
the
mother
had
neuer
séene
it
eate
bread
before
,
for
the
which
she
maruelled
greatly
,
beholding
hir
lyttell
childe
,
how
it
did
eate
this
same
browne
breade
that
was
hard
and
drie
,
with
so
great
an
appetite
,
that
it
was
a
straunge
&
maruellous
thing
to
behold
,
for
the
mother
woulde
haue
gathered
togither
the
crums
that
fell
from
his
mouth
,
but
the
child
began
to
crie
out
,
as
though
it
had
sustained
some
great
wrong
,
for
anger
that
he
saw
his
mother
gather
togither
the
crums
,
as
though
he
had
ben
afraied
not
to
haue
had
inough
.
O
eternal
&
almightie
God
,
what
image
?
what
spectacle
?
might
there
be
founde
anye
heart
so
void
of
humanity
,
that
might
not
be
moued
thereby
with
compassion
&
pitie
?
The
said
Author
reciteth
yet
,
that
in
an
other
village
(
not
far
distant
from
the
before
saide
)
were
found
two
women
,
the
which
not
finding
wherewithall
to
sustaine
or
slake
their
hunger
,
did
eate
and
fill
themselues
with
a
venemous
herbe
named
Scyla
,
being
like
Onyons
,
or
wilde
Lettise
,
and
not
knowing
the
vertue
nor
propertie
of
the
saide
herbe
,
poysoned
themselues
,
in
such
sort
and
maner
that
their
féete
and
hands
became
gréen
like
Lezardes
skinnes
,
and
the
poyson
came
forth
vnder
their
nayles
of
theyr
fingers
,
so
that
there
was
no
remedie
but
that
they
died
soone
after
.
Finallye
,
this
miserie
and
calamitie
being
of
a
long
and
an
intollerable
time
,
the
good
husbandmen
of
the
countries
hauing
lande
,
heritages
and
possessions
,
were
constrained
to
haue
their
refuge
to
rich
Merchantes
,
whereof
some
had
hourded
vp
whole
barnes
full
of
corne
,
for
to
bye
first
of
them
,
whilst
that
their
monie
lasted
,
and
then
afterwardes
was
landes
,
and
heritages
laid
to
gage
,
&
solde
wholy
and
at
a
smal
price
,
of
the
which
such
was
worth
a
hundreth
pounds
,
for
the
which
they
had
not
ten
,
so
great
was
the
mischiefe
,
and
yll
lucke
of
this
cursed
auarice
and
vsurie
,
and
yet
it
was
not
ynough
that
men
were
afflicted
&
scourged
with
the
vehement
yre
and
scourge
of
Gods
wrath
,
by
coniuration
of
al
the
elements
,
&
almost
of
all
the
creatures
,
but
that
men
also
(
their
like
)
did
afflict
and
persecute
them
.
For
these
couetous
rich
men
,
séeing
the
time
to
succéede
,
as
they
did
wish
and
desier
,
for
to
fyll
thier
chests
&
coffers
,
did
not
faile
to
their
occasion
,
they
had
Factors
for
their
purpose
,
for
to
put
to
sale
the
poore
mens
goods
at
their
price
,
and
at
the
worde
of
those
that
had
corne
,
for
the
bying
wherof
the
good
people
wold
leaue
nothing
vnsold
,
euen
to
lay
to
gage
their
clothing
,
for
to
haue
foode
,
and
that
which
was
worse
,
the
most
part
sawe
not
that
measured
that
they
bought
,
and
notwithstanding
they
were
constrained
to
take
it
,
such
as
pleased
the
seller
,
and
to
bye
(
as
the
prouerbe
goth
)
a
pig
in
a
poke
.
And
I
must
here
tel
,
that
there
hath
bene
such
a
vsurer
that
hath
had
a
piece
of
grounde
for
lesse
than
the
writings
haue
coste
at
a
Notaries
hands
.
Those
that
haue
made
suche
rapines
,
know
well
that
I
speak
truth
.
And
after
al
these
mischiefs
,
you
should
sée
nothing
but
good
people
driuen
out
of
their
houses
and
goods
,
they
,
their
wiues
and
children
,
and
then
they
died
in
Hospitals
,
of
the
which
,
these
false
sellers
are
the
murtherers
,
as
if
they
had
cut
their
throtes
,
and
they
shall
render
and
giue
account
before
him
,
vnto
whom
nothing
is
hidden
.
We
haue
here
made
a
long
declaration
of
thrée
scourges
,
with
the
which
our
God
is
wonted
to
waken
his
creatures
,
when
that
he
féeleth
them
obstinate
and
wallowing
in
their
sins
,
but
this
before
is
little
,
to
the
regard
of
other
cruel
diseases
,
with
the
which
our
life
is
threatned
,
and
besieged
all
oure
dayes
.
Plinie
and
manye
other
Phistions
,
Gréekes
and
Arabians
,
haue
written
,
that
since
two
thousand
yeare
,
they
haue
discouered
more
than
thrée
hundreth
kinde
of
sicknesses
,
to
the
whiche
the
humaine
bodies
are
subiect
,
without
reckning
those
that
daylie
encrease
.
Among
the
which
they
make
mention
of
some
so
cruell
,
that
I
cannot
refer
them
without
shame
.
I
will
leaue
here
to
speake
of
the
vulgar
and
common
sort
of
diseases
,
where
as
it
behoueth
sometimes
to
burne
the
members
with
hote
burning
catares
,
saw
a sunder
bones
,
take
oute
the
paine
in
the
head
,
pull
bowels
out
of
their
bodies
,
as
though
there
shoulde
be
made
some
Inuentarie
&
Anotamy
.
Others
that
haue
bene
made
to
keepe
diets
so
straight
,
bicause
of
the
furie
of
their
disease
(
as
Cornelius
Celsus
sheweth
)
that
they
haue
bene
constrained
to
drinke
their
owne
vrine
to
quench
their
thirst
,
eat
their
plasters
,
for
to
moderate
their
hunger
.
Others
being
perswaded
that
they
haue
swallowed
downe
serpents
,
to
the
whiche
there
was
no
meanes
of
helpe
,
vntill
that
there
hath
bene
liue
serpents
put
into
the
Basen
wherin
they
vomited
,
making
them
beleue
that
they
were
come
out
of
their
bodies
,
as
Alexander
Tralianus
sheweth
,
of
the
damsell
that
he
healed
by
this
meanes
,
the
which
thought
that
she
had
swallowed
downe
a
serpent
in
hir
sléepe
.
Others
,
of
the
which
their
sicknesse
is
so
horrible
and
straunge
,
that
they
thought
they
were
transformed
into
brute
beastes
,
as
he
whom
Gallian
maketh
mention
of
,
that
thought
verilye
that
he
had
bene
transformed
into
a
Cock
,
and
that
he
was
among
the
Cockes
daylie
,
and
when
that
he
did
heare
them
crowe
,
he
would
counterfeit
the
like
,
and
as
they
flap
their
wings
when
that
they
begin
to
sing
,
so
woulde
he
do
with
his
armes
.
Others
that
thought
themselues
to
be
turned
into
Wolues
,
and
ceased
not
in
the
nights
to
runne
by
hilles
,
Lycantropeia
,
the
whiche
thing
I
thinke
shoulde
not
séeme
straunge
or
fabellous
to
those
that
haue
red
in
holy
scripture
the
pitifull
Metamorphosie
of
Nabuchodonosor
,
who
was
transformed
into
an
Oxe
,
the
space
of
seauen
yeares
,
for
to
bring
him
to
the
knowledge
of
his
God
.
And
others
,
sayth
Galian
,
in
the
place
before
alleaged
,
that
thought
themselues
to
be
turned
into
earthen
vessels
,
and
went
not
out
of
the
fields
,
&
if
that
they
saw
a
trée
or
a
wall
,
they
ranne
away
,
fearing
lest
that
they
should
strike
against
it
,
and
so
to
be
broken
in
pieces
.
Others
that
haue
bene
thrée
yeres
togither
without
sleepe
or
closing
their
eyes
,
as
it
happened
to
the
good
Mecenas
.
Others
that
are
so
oppressed
with
paine
,
that
they
beate
their
head
against
the
walles
,
as
it
hath
happened
to
a
cunning
man
in
our
time
named
Angell
Pollitian
.
Others
that
are
constrained
to
eate
serpents
in
their
sicknesse
,
as
the
Leprous
.
Others
,
as
it
happened
to
the
Philosopher
Pherecides
,
out
of
whose
bodie
proceded
a
great
quantity
of
Serpents
.
Others
in
whose
bodies
there
engendreth
a
great
quantity
of
lice
,
by
the
which
they
are
in
the
end
deuoured
,
without
finding
or
inuenting
remedie
therfore
,
the
which
the
Medicins
cal
,
Orpheus
,
Orus
,
Medesius
,
Heliodorus
and
Aratus
,
haue
shewed
the
composition
of
fiue
hundreth
sortes
of
venims
and
poysons
,
and
certaine
others
since
their
time
haue
increased
the
number
:
but
if
they
were
liuing
at
this
day
,
they
woulde
be
counted
foolish
Asses
,
so
much
is
our
humaine
malice
burst
out
,
Ptholomeus
writeth
,
of
that
which
he
calleth
Marmacica
,
the
which
is
so
contagious
that
the
weight
of
a
wheate
corne
maketh
a
man
die
sodenly
,
and
it
is
solde
a
hundreth
crownes
the
ounce
,
and
so
muche
tribute
payed
he
that
bought
it
,
and
yet
they
had
this
consideration
,
to
make
them
sweare
that
they
shoulde
not
vse
therof
in
their
Prouince
,
nor
agaynst
their
friendes
,
but
only
againste
straungers
.
But
good
God
,
the
Diuell
hath
so
entred
into
men
at
this
daye
,
and
hath
made
them
so
cunning
,
&
apt
in
euill
and
mischiefe
,
that
by
the
smell
therof
men
are
poysoned
as
the
experience
was
at
Sienne
.
Another
Florentine
knight
,
after
that
he
had
pulled
of
his
helmet
for
to
take
ayre
,
Theophrastus
speaketh
,
that
the
poyson
is
sometimes
prepared
after
such
a
sort
,
that
it
killeth
not
but
at
the
murtherers
intention
,
for
if
he
wil
,
the
party
shal
liue
iij.
moneths
.vi.
moneths
,
a
yere
,
in
such
sort
,
that
death
commeth
at
the
time
of
the
collection
and
gathering
of
the
medicine
or
poyson
prepared
.
Furthermore
,
as
I
haue
vnderstoode
of
men
worthy
of
faith
and
credence
,
that
they
haue
the
subtiltie
to
make
it
after
such
a
sorte
,
that
it
shall
not
hurt
but
one
member
,
one
arme
,
or
one
leg
.
The
experience
thereof
hath
bene
séene
in
a
fountaine
empoysoned
beside
Rhine
,
neare
to
the
sea
,
the
water
of
the
saide
,
caused
the
téeth
to
fall
out
of
all
those
that
drunke
thereof
in
the
campe
of
Germanie
.
Also
things
are
come
to
such
desolation
,
that
they
haue
found
the
meanes
to
mingle
poyson
with
the
Wafer
or
Communion
bread
,
Zafarnus
citizen
of
Millaine
,
being
ouercome
by
his
Creditor
,
died
,
as
Cardan
witnesseth
.
There
resteth
nowe
to
shewe
howe
that
man
is
afflicted
by
the
foure
elements
,
which
are
as
witnesses
and
ministers
of
the
vengeance
and
wrath
of
God
against
our
sinnes
.
What
is
there
more
necessarie
for
the
life
of
man
than
water
?
for
there
is
neyther
man
nor
beast
that
can
liue
without
the
vse
thereof
,
there
is
neyther
herbe
nor
plant
that
can
bring
forth
either
séede
or
fruite
without
water
,
without
putting
in
account
the
profit
and
commoditie
that
it
bringeth
in
this
worlde
,
séeing
also
that
it
is
the
most
auncientest
and
mightiest
element
of
all
,
as
Plinie
and
Isidorus
writeth
,
Nille
deriued
from
his
chanel
how
many
thousands
of
men
haue
loste
their
liues
,
and
haue
bene
deuoured
of
fishes
.
Gréeke
lande
hath
felt
the
furie
of
the
waters
,
and
can
witnesse
the
same
,
when
the
greate
floud
or
deluge
of
waters
did
ouerrun
the
most
part
of
Thessalie
,
the
people
being
afrayed
all
to
be
drowned
.
What
losse
and
harme
receyued
the
Romaines
,
in
the
yeare
a
thousand
,
fiue
hundreth
,
Tiber
,
the
which
did
rise
after
such
a
sorte
,
that
it
ouerwhelmed
houses
,
and
hie
toures
in
their
citie
,
and
beside
the
losse
of
Bridges
that
were
broken
,
the
losse
of
goods
,
golde
,
siluer
,
wine
,
corne
,
cloth
of
silke
,
oyles
,
woolles
,
and
other
mouables
,
to
the
value
of
thrée
Msllions
of
golde
:
there
died
more
than
thrée
hundreth
men
,
beside
women
and
children
,
which
were
drowned
by
violence
of
the
waters
of
the
said
floud
,
as
the
Elders
do
write
.
Iespar
Contarenus
in
his
boks
of
the
foure
elementes
writeth
,
that
in
our
time
,
Vallencia
a
Citie
in
Spaine
,
with
al
the
Citizens
,
were
almost
drowned
by
a
violent
&
an
vnknown
water
,
after
such
sorte
,
that
if
the
Citizens
had
not
sodainlye
giuen
succor
in
rampairing
and
fencing
,
there
had
bene
no
other
hope
of
safegard
.
Without
making
mention
of
an
infinite
of
other
harmes
and
domages
,
that
we
haue
receyued
,
since
this
fiue
or
sixe
thousande
yeares
that
the
worlde
was
created
,
of
raynes
,
hayles
,
frostes
,
snowes
,
and
other
lyke
iniuries
,
that
depend
of
the
rigor
of
this
element
.
What
is
there
more
wonderfull
in
nature
than
fier
,
Strabo
in
his
twelfth
booke
,
&
Ruffinus
treating
of
Eusebius
workes
,
and
Amianus
Marcelinus
,
where
they
shall
finde
also
that
the
flames
of
fier
proceading
from
the
tops
of
hilles
or
mountaines
,
and
other
bowels
of
the
earth
,
haue
burned
manye
townes
with
their
inhabitants
.
In
the
time
of
Lucius
Marcus
,
&
Sextus
Iulius
the
Consuls
,
there
procéeded
so
great
flame
from
two
hils
Zorastus
,
King
of
the
Bactrians
,
Captaine
in
the
warre
of
Thebes
,
Aiax
after
the
destruction
of
Troie
,
Anastatius
the
Emperor
,
when
he
had
raigned
.xxvij.
yeres
,
Carius
also
and
manye
other
Kings
and
Emperors
that
haue
taken
their
end
by
this
kind
of
death
.
The
ayre
is
so
requisite
,
for
the
preseruation
of
our
humanitie
,
that
there
is
no
liuing
beast
that
can
haue
life
without
the
vse
thereof
.
And
yet
notwithstanding
,
it
is
so
pernicious
to
humaine
kinde
when
it
putrifieth
Mithridates
raigned
,
the
earth
beganne
to
moue
,
and
to
shake
with
suche
a
rigor
and
furie
,
that
there
was
not
only
manye
townes
rased
,
but
also
there
was
aboue
a
hundreth
thousande
men
swallowed
and
ouerwhelmed
.
In
the
time
or
raigne
of
Constantine
,
sonne
to
the
Emperor
Constantine
,
there
were
suche
a
number
of
townes
ouerthrowne
,
Asia
by
earthquakes
,
that
the
Historiographes
had
much
to
do
to
number
them
.
In
the
time
of
Isocratus
and
Plato
,
the
concauits
&
bottoms
of
the
earth
,
did
open
in
Europe
,
by
suche
vehemencie
,
that
two
great
Cities
with
their
inhabitants
were
swallowed
vp
in
a
moment
.
There
is
not
reade
to
our
memorie
,
nor
to
the
memorie
of
man
a
more
dreadfull
earthquake
,
than
that
which
happened
in
the
raigne
of
Tiberius
Cesar
,
by
the
which
,
in
the
space
of
one
night
twelue
Cities
were
swallowed
vp
with
their
goods
and
inhabitants
,
among
the
which
Apolonia
,
Ephesia
,
Cesaria
,
Philadelphia
,
and
manye
others
numbred
.
Elian
writeth
,
that
there
increased
or
multiplied
such
a
number
of
Rates
in
certaine
places
of
Italie
,
that
for
the
destruction
that
they
made
to
rootes
of
trées
and
herbes
(
for
the
which
there
was
no
remedie
)
cansed
such
a
famine
to
be
,
that
the
inhabitants
were
constrayned
to
forsake
their
countrie
.
Marcus
Varonus
,
one
of
the
worthiest
writers
that
euer
writ
in
Latine
,
sayth
,
that
in
Spaine
there
was
a
great
Borough
,
situated
on
a
sandie
ground
,
that
was
so
vndermined
with
Cunnies
that
in
the
ende
the
inhabitants
did
forsake
it
,
for
feare
to
haue
sunke
into
the
holes
or
dennes
of
these
littel
beastes
,
by
whose
meane
it
was
at
the
last
ouerthrowne
.
The
same
Author
writeth
,
that
there
was
a
town
in
Fraunce
that
was
left
vninhabited
,
bicause
of
the
multitude
of
frogs
.
In
Affrica
the
like
chaunce
happened
by
Grashoppers
.
Theophrastus
maketh
mention
of
a
certaine
Prouince
that
they
caused
the
people
to
dishabit
.
Plinie
reciteth
that
there
is
a
Prouince
on
the
limits
of
Ethiopia
,
whereas
the
Antes
and
Scorpions
with
other
vermin
exiled
the
men
that
there
did
inhabit
.
The
Flies
caused
the
Megarensians
to
depart
out
of
their
Countrie
.
The
Aspes
chased
the
Ethiopians
.
Athenor
writeth
that
honie
Bées
and
other
flies
chased
out
of
a
towne
all
the
inhabitantes
thereof
,
&
made
their
hiues
in
their
houses

What
witnesse
of
our
humaine
infirmitie
is
here
declared
in
al
these
thinges
?
O
what
discipline
or
schoole
is
this
,
for
to
teach
man
to
know
himselfe
?
what
a
maruell
of
the
powre
of
God
is
thys
toward
his
creatures
?
of
whom
the
iudgementes
are
so
terrible
and
fearfull
,
that
as
soone
as
man
thinketh
to
spread
out
his
horns
,
or
to
rise
against
his
god
,
he
can
so
well
at
the
first
bridle
and
pull
down
his
boldnesse
and
proude
lookes
,
&
so
tame
him
,
that
not
onely
he
doth
send
Heraulds
and
forerunners
of
his
wrath
,
war
,
famine
&
pestilence
,
but
in
abunding
,
there
is
neither
element
,
nor
other
brutish
creature
,
but
that
séeketh
his
decaye
,
euen
to
the
little
beasts
,
which
are
as
ministers
and
executors
of
his
diuine
iustice
,
the
which
is
manifest
,
not
only
by
the
witnessing
of
the
Heathen
,
but
also
by
holie
Scripture
,
when
that
the
Frogs
&
Grashoppers
did
forsake
their
places
,
Pharao
.
We
haue
here
before
shewed
a
straunge
philosophie
of
the
miserie
of
man
.
For
if
man
were
of
yron
,
or
as
hard
as
a
Diamond
,
it
is
maruel
howe
he
can
endure
the
one
halfe
of
his
life
,
without
being
brused
and
broken
,
séeing
the
paynes
,
anguishes
,
trauels
and
passions
,
that
it
behoueth
him
at
all
times
to
sustain
.
Notwithstanding
,
what
misfortune
so
euer
happen
him
,
what
charge
or
burthen
the
nature
doth
lay
vpon
him
,
yet
he
can
not
,
nor
wil
not
humble
himself
vnder
the
mighty
hand
of
God
for
to
cary
his
yoke
,
nor
yet
to
know
himselfe
to
be
as
he
is
.
Therefore
by
good
right
doeth
the
Lord
God
reproue
him
by
his
Prophet
,
that
he
hath
the
forehead
of
brasse
,
Plato
and
of
Plinie
,
séeing
the
great
gulfe
of
miseries
wherein
man
is
plunged
in
,
euen
from
his
birth
,
to
his
graue
,
hathe
called
nature
cruell
and
a
vsuresse
,
the
whiche
causeth
so
many
interests
to
be
payd
to
man
,
of
his
excellency
and
dignitie
,
that
they
haue
esteemed
the
brute
beastes
more
happier
than
man
,
but
both
the
one
and
the
other
vnder
this
name
of
nature
haue
chalenged
or
complayned
on
God
of
vniustice
and
crueltie
.
But
to
proue
the
contrary
,
all
the
euils
and
this
sea
of
miserie
,
wherewith
man
is
charged
,
commeth
not
of
the
hatred
of
God
,
but
of
the
malice
and
corruption
of
man
who
is
the
very
Author
of
all
his
afflictions
and
calamities
,
for
thinking
to
be
equal
with
his
God
,
he
hath
begonne
to
fal
from
his
noblenesse
,
and
to
efface
the
ymage
of
God
grauen
in
him
,
and
to
chaunge
it
to
the
likenesse
of
a
Diuell
,
and
therfore
is
happened
to
him
that
which
the
Prophet
Dauid
sayth
,
Plutarchus
,
do
manifest
and
shew
out
of
themselues
,
eyther
by
the
yll
colour
of
the
face
,
or
by
the
mouing
of
the
thumbe
,
or
els
by
some
other
meanes
or
griefe
,
and
beyng
knowen
,
the
remedies
are
incontinent
sought
for
.
Angelot
,
which
was
a
Cardinall
,
for
he
was
so
empoisoned
with
this
cursed
poison
of
auarice
,
that
when
the
horskepers
had
giuen
toward
the
night
Otes
to
his
horses
,
he
woulde
come
into
the
stable
by
a
priuy
way
alone
,
and
without
light
to
steale
or
take
awaye
the
Otes
&
Prouander
from
his
owne
horses
,
and
so
continued
manie
nightes
,
till
the
horsekeper
perceiuing
his
horses
waxe
leane
did
hyde
himselfe
in
the
stable
,
and
taking
my
Lord
with
the
maner
,
did
giue
him
so
many
strokes
with
the
Hay
forke
,
that
he
was
faine
to
beare
him
into
hys
Chamber
,
for
condigne
or
iust
recompence
of
his
wicked
and
burning
couetousnesse
.
The
which
should
séeme
to
be
a
fable
and
ridiculous
,
but
that
Philelpheus
and
Iouian
Pontanus
in
his
booke
of
Liberality
,
and
many
other
sage
writers
make
mention
.
Behold
the
fruits
,
beholde
the
rewardes
of
thys
cursed
riches
,
the
whiche
is
gathered
togither
with
many
sharpe
&
bitter
cares
,
and
is
kept
with
continual
feare
,
&
then
is
left
with
many
sighes
&
teares
:
of
the
which
the
auncient
Romaines
shoulde
be
good
and
manifest
witnesses
,
if
we
woulde
bring
in
their
Authors
,
the
which
when
that
their
Common
weale
was
gouerned
by
poore
rulers
,
it
hath
always
prospered
,
but
since
that
she
was
swelled
&
puffed
vp
by
the
victories
of
hir
Predecessors
,
as
of
the
destruction
of
Corinth
,
of
Achaia
,
of
Antioche
,
of
Fraunce
,
of
Greece
,
of
Italie
,
of
Egypt
&
of
Spaine
,
their
Empire
began
to
declyne
:
for
their
victories
,
prayes
and
spoyles
,
were
the
corrupting
of
good
maners
,
and
of
their
auncient
institution
&
discipline
,
the
occasion
&
original
of
cruel
warres
,
for
that
that
coulde
not
be
ouercommed
by
violence
and
force
of
Armes
,
was
vanquished
by
lecherie
and
superfluitie
,
in
such
sort
that
their
riches
are
reuenged
against
themselues
,
and
to
them
is
happened
as
to
a
clothe
that
engendreth
his
Moth
,
and
to
the
corne
that
engendreth
wormes
that
deuour
it
.
The
which
the
great
King
Salomon
hauing
well
considered
in
himselfe
,
when
that
he
had
heaped
and
gathered
togither
so
much
treasure
,
that
his
riches
excéeded
the
glory
of
all
other
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
and
that
he
had
proued
the
benefits
that
procéede
of
the
goods
of
this
worlde
,
he
left
vs
his
iudgement
and
aduise
by
writing
,
as
followeth
:
Patrocleus
of
Aristophanus
,
the
Pigmalion
of
Virgil
,
the
Polymnestor
of
Properceus
,
the
Galeran
of
Martiall
,
with
the
couetous
rich
man
mencioned
in
holie
Scripture
:
knowing
that
the
spirites
of
men
which
of
nature
are
diuine
and
celestiall
,
hath
no
porcion
with
golde
and
siluer
,
which
is
no
other
thing
but
the
very
mucke
of
the
earth
.
Let
vs
speake
nowe
of
another
vice
which
is
called
Enuie
,
the
which
as
Aristippus
doth
affirme
,
is
next
parent
to
the
former
,
Absalon
,
the
strength
of
Sampson
,
the
wisedome
of
Salomon
,
the
agilitie
of
Azacl
,
the
riches
of
Cressus
,
the
liberalitie
of
Alexander
,
the
vigor
and
dexteritie
of
Hector
,
the
eloquence
of
Homer
,
the
fortune
of
Augustus
,
the
iustice
of
Traianus
,
the
zeale
of
Cicero
,
he
might
be
assured
that
he
shoulde
not
be
orned
with
so
many
graces
,
as
pursued
of
a
number
of
enuious
.
And
this
wicked
vice
cleaueth
not
onely
to
those
that
enioy
fortune
measurably
,
but
vnto
the
highest
,
and
those
that
are
in
the
highest
degrée
,
for
when
they
are
at
the
moste
highest
degrée
of
Fortunes
wheele
,
and
when
they
thinke
to
be
in
peaceable
possession
of
the
fauor
of
Kings
and
of
Princes
,
in
the
meane
time
the
enimie
shal
conspire
their
death
,
and
cause
them
to
be
disdayued
:
and
therefore
the
wise
Emperour
Marcus
Aurelius
saide
that
Enuie
was
a
Serpent
so
enuenimed
,
that
there
was
neuer
mortall
among
the
mortals
,
but
that
of
hir
teeth
haue
bene
bitten
,
of
hir
clawes
haue
bene
scratched
,
troden
vnder
hir
féete
:
and
empoisoned
with
hir
poyson
,
I
haue
red
(
saith
he
)
many
bookes
,
Gréekes
,
Latines
,
Hebrues
&
Chaldeys
,
I
haue
conferred
with
many
wise
men
for
to
finde
a
remedie
against
the
enuious
man
,
and
for
all
this
,
I
haue
founde
no
other
meanes
for
to
auoyde
Enuie
,
but
to
auoyd
fortune
being
prosperous
,
the
reason
is
,
for
that
we
are
the
children
of
Enuy
,
being
born
in
Enuie
,
&
he
that
leaueth
most
goods
,
leaueth
most
Enuie
,
&
for
this
cause
the
Elders
counselled
the
rich
that
they
shoulde
not
kepe
them
neare
the
poore
,
and
the
poore
that
they
shoulde
not
dwell
neare
the
rich
,
for
of
the
riches
of
the
riche
groweth
vp
the
séede
of
Enuie
of
the
poore
.
I
might
here
also
make
Turrian
long
narration
of
the
ambition
and
pride
that
reigneth
this
day
amongst
vs
,
We
may
also
adde
another
affliction
of
the
spirite
to
the
former
which
is
named
Loue
,
Paulus
Aeginetaus
in
his
thirde
booke
ordeined
to
al
those
that
are
persecuted
of
this
furor
of
euill
,
a
rule
howe
to
liue
.
The
which
Ompercleus
following
the
counsel
of
Plato
,
ordained
also
who
made
two
kindes
of
furies
,
of
the
whiche
he
called
one
in
Gréeke
Exotikon
,
whych
signifieth
in
Latine
Amatorium
,
and
in
Englishe
Loue
.
I
haue
séene
those
opened
,
that
haue
died
of
this
maladie
,
that
had
their
bowels
shronke
,
their
poore
heart
all
burned
,
their
Liuer
and
Lightes
all
vades
and
consumed
,
their
Braines
endomaged
,
and
I
thynke
that
their
poore
soule
was
burned
by
the
vehement
and
excessiue
heate
that
they
did
indure
,
when
that
the
rage
of
Loue
had
ouercomme
them
,
and
euen
as
the
cure
of
this
maladie
is
vncurable
,
also
the
originall
is
very
doubtful
to
those
that
haue
written
.
The
Phisitions
saye
,
that
this
rage
of
Loue
that
presseth
so
sore
,
and
that
is
spred
through
the
worlde
,
proceedeth
of
the
correspondent
qualitie
of
bloude
,
and
that
the
complection
engendreth
the
same
mutuall
loue
:
the
Astrologians
in
like
maner
saye
that
Loue
proceadeth
when
that
two
metting
haue
one
mind
,
or
that
they
be
chaunged
in
some
other
constellation
,
for
they
be
constrained
to
loue
togither
.
Other
Philosophers
haue
saide
,
that
when
we
cast
our
sight
vpon
that
which
we
desire
,
sodenly
certaine
spirits
that
are
engendred
of
the
moste
perfectest
part
of
bloud
,
proceding
from
the
heart
of
the
partie
which
we
do
loue
,
and
promptly
ascendeth
euen
vp
to
the
eyes
,
and
afterwarde
conuerteth
into
vapors
inuisible
,
and
entreth
into
oure
eyes
,
which
are
bent
to
receyue
them
,
euen
so
as
in
looking
in
a
glasse
there
remayneth
therein
some
spotte
by
breathing
,
and
so
from
the
eyes
it
penetrateth
to
the
heart
,
and
so
by
littell
and
little
it
spreadeth
all
about
,
and
therfore
the
miserable
Louer
being
drawen
to
,
by
the
new
spirites
,
the
which
desire
alwayes
to
ioine
and
drawe
neare
,
with
their
principall
and
natural
habitation
,
is
constreyned
to
mourne
and
lament
his
lost
libertie
.
Others
after
that
they
had
studied
all
that
euer
they
could
therin
,
and
not
finding
the
spring
and
originall
of
this
so
furious
an
euil
,
haue
said
that
Loue
was
one
,
I
know
not
what
,
that
came
I
know
not
how
,
and
burned
I
know
not
how
,
a
thing
verie
certaine
and
true
,
for
he
that
doeth
consider
,
the
iestes
,
facions
of
doing
,
countenances
,
furies
and
Eclipses
of
these
poore
passioned
,
he
woulde
confesse
,
that
he
neuer
sawe
a
more
straunger
Metamorphosie
,
or
spectacle
more
ridiculous
,
sodenlye
you
shall
sée
them
drowned
in
teares
,
making
the
aire
to
sounde
with
their
cries
,
sighes
,
plaints
,
murmurings
and
imprecations
,
another
time
you
shall
sée
them
colde
,
frozen
,
&
in
a
traunce
,
their
faces
pale
and
chaunged
,
other
times
,
if
that
they
haue
had
any
good
lucke
,
or
other
gentle
entertainment
of
the
thing
that
they
loue
,
Lycantropes
and
goe
all
the
night
like
raging
wolues
.
And
although
the
maladie
of
it selfe
is
fantasticall
ynough
,
yet
according
to
the
humor
that
she
méeteth
,
she
worketh
maruellous
effectes
,
for
if
the
Louer
be
poore
,
there
is
no
office
of
humanitie
,
but
that
he
sheweth
it
,
euen
to
sacrifice
,
and
to
put
him selfe
in
peril
,
if
néede
shall
require
.
If
he
be
rich
,
his
purse
(
as
the
Gréekes
terme
it
)
is
tied
with
a
Léeke
blade
,
thoughe
he
be
couetous
,
he
becommeth
then
prodigal
,
there
is
no
bagge
that
he
will
spare
to
emptye
,
so
great
is
the
power
of
this
poyson
,
the
which
hath
moued
Plautus
to
say
,
that
Loue
was
the
first
inuenter
of
beggerie
.
If
the
Louer
be
learned
,
&
that
his
spirits
be
any
thing
weakned
you
shall
sée
him
faigne
a
sea
of
teares
,
a
Lake
of
miseries
,
to
double
hys
plaintes
,
accuse
the
heauen
,
make
an
Anotomie
of
his
hart
,
friese
the
Sommer
,
burne
the
Winter
,
worshippe
,
playe
the
Idolater
,
wonder
,
to
faigne
Paradise
,
to
forge
Hel
,
Sisiphus
,
play
Tantalus
,
feigne
Titius
,
with
a
thousande
other
toies
.
And
if
they
be
minded
to
exalt
the
which
they
loue
,
then
what
is
ther
here
but
a
bewtye
,
hir
browes
,
arches
,
hir
eyes
After
gemells
,
hir
lookes
,

,
hir

Coral
,
hir

of

,
hir

And
generally
al
the
rest
of
the
bodie
is
no
other
but
a
prodigalitie
and
treasure
of
heauen
and

the

thing
the

foreséeing

cried
out

saying
,
Lorde
withdraw

We
haue
now
to
my
iudgement
sufficientlye
shewed
the
maledictions
and
miseries
wherein
man
is
wrapped
whilst
he
playeth
his
Tragedie
in
the
circle
of
this
world
,
but
if
his
entrie
be
maruellous
,
miserable
,
difficill
,
and
perilous
,
no
doubt
his
issue
and
departing
is
not
lesse
,
and
whereas
we
haue
shewed
manye
straunge
childings
and
dreadfull
:
so
is
there
also
straunge
sortes
of
death
muche
more
horrible
and
wonderfull

Blow
out
the
trumpet
(
saith
the
Prophet
Ioell
)
Egypt
haue
presumed
to
call
man
God
in
earth
,
deuine
and
celestiall
messenger
of
the
Gods
,
Lorde
of
things
inferior
,
familier
of
superior
,
and
finally
miracle
of
nature
,
and
that
more
is
,
for
the
better
shewing
of
the
noblenesse
of
man
,
sometimes
his
God
descendeth
into
him
doyng
miracles
which
of
himself
he
could
not
doe
:
as
we
haue
red
in
histories
of
Clazonmeus
and
of
Aristeus
,
the
which
oftentimes
departed
out
of
their
bodies
and
went
here
and
there
,
and
being
returned
,
they
shewed
things
vncredible
,
the
whiche
afterwards
by
experience
was
founde
true
.
As
one
Cornelius
a
priest
sacred
being
at
Padoua
,
during
the
war
betweene
Caesar
and
Pompel
,
was
so
rauished
that
he
counted
all
the
order
of
the
battell
better
than
those
that
were
present
.
Likewise
Apolonius
being
in
Ephesus
sawe
and
shewed
that
which
happened
to
Nero
in
Rome
:
Socrates
was
founde
rauished
talking
with
his
spirite
,
not
séeing
nor
knowing
that
which
was
done
hard
by
him
.
In
like
maner
Plato
was
euery
day
in
a
traunce
certaine
houres
,
in
the
which
at
the
last
he
died
.
The
Poets
in
their
furie
did
write
and
shew
of
things
more
deuine
and
heauenly
,
than
humain
and
earthly
,
and
after
that
this
furie
had
left
them
,
and
that
their
spirite
was
forsaken
of
this
deuinitie
,
they
vnderstoode
not
what
they
had
written
,
nor
the
others
also
.
Homer
,
the
great
Gréeke
Poet
,
that
shall
serue
an
example
for
all
,
who
although
that
from
his
infancie
was
blind
,
yet
notwithstanding
he
hath
described
and
shewed
of
things
so
profounde
and
wonderfull
,
that
some
haue
boldly
written
of
him
,
that
if
all
the
wisedome
of
Poets
were
layde
togither
,
it
would
no
equall
nor
compare
with
that
that
shineth
in
his
workes
,
nor
he
himselfe
if
he
were
aliue
could
make
again
that
which
he
hath
made
.
The
whiche
giueth
vs
to
vnderstande
that
man
is
the
verie
chiefe
worke
of
God
,
who
if
we
doe
wel
consider
,
we
shall
finde
that
he
is
paynted
or
drawen
out
with
another
than
a
humaine
pensil
.
The
which
thing
the
most
part
of
the
auncient
Philosophers
though
they
were
neuer
so
subtill
haue
not
knowen
,
or
else
haue
bene
founde
so
variable
in
that
that
concerneth
his
creation
,
that
there
is
no
holde
to
be
taken
of
their
writings
.
But
laying
them
a
side
as
they
that
doe
but
flote
and
wauer
in
their
sayings
,
and
as
they
that
féede
vs
with
an
infinite
number
of
dreames
and
illusions
vnder
the
pretexitie
of
their
deceitfull
wordes
&
coloured
language
.
Who
notwithstanding
are
constrained
to
wonder
and
maruel
at
the
wisedome
of
the
workmaister
,
if
they
will
be
equitable
Iudges
,
and
cast
their
sight
on
the
wonderfull
composition
of
our
humain
bodie
.
Plato
writeth
,
is
the
atturney
that
alwais
remaineth
within
the
towre
,
the
which
kéepeth
and
retayneth

that
sodenly

Lactantius
sayeth

he
hath
created
the
chin
,
and
set
it
out
after
so
honest
a
forme
,
Trimigisteus
,
after
that
he
had
profoundlye
plunged
in
the
contemplation
of
humaine
worke
,
cried
out
saying
:
where
is
the
painter
so
wel
sorting
his
colours
that
could
paint
these
faire
eyes
that
are
the
windowes
of
all
the

Alexander
,
the
which
in
his
yong
and
tender
yeares
lamented
and
wept
bitterly
,
knowing
that
his
father
Philip
had
obtained
victorie
of
diuers
and
sundrie
battels
,
and
after
that
he
was
demaunded
of
his
gouernors
from
whence
proceaded
those
teares
,
with
the
which
his
face
was
dewed
and
couered
:
for
feare
(

that
I

people

the
desertes
to
trie
his
strength
against
wilde
and
brute
beastes
,
for
to
ouercome
them
aswell
as
men
:
the
Historiographes
write
of
him
,
that
he
séeing
himselfe
Monarche
of
all
the
world
,
remembring
with
himselfe
that
he
had
Democrites
,
that
there
was
many
worlds
,
for
the
which
cause
he
caused
many
Pioners
and
Artificers
to
dig
and
vndermine
the
ground
,
to
the
end
that
if
there
were
anye
other
people
founde
,
they
might
be
brought
vnder
his
obedience
.

And
Appelles
for

to

which
was

excellent

Who
is
it
that
doth
not
maruell
of
that
whiche
Pausanias
a
Greeke
Historiographe
writeth
to
haue
bene
formed
&
made
in
Heraclia
a
Prouince
of
Peloponensia
by
a
certaine
artificer
,
Plutarch
exalting
the
excellencie
of
man
,
writeth
that
Archimedes
did
draw
with
one
hand
and
with
one
corde
or
rope
ouerthwart
the
market
place
of
Siracusa
,
a
great
ship
fraighted
with
merchandise
,
as
if
it
had
bene
a

that
had
bene
led
by

by

science
of
Methmaticke

which
Baptist

of
the
expertest
men
in

,
assured
to
doen
,
if
anye
great
Lorde
woulde
furnish
the
thing
.
What
miracle
in
nature
may
be
found
more
greater
than
this
deuise
of
glasse
that
Sabot
King
of
the
Persians
caused
to
be
made
?
the
which
was
so
great
,
that
he
was
set
in
a
corner
of
the
same
as
in
the
sphere
or
compasse
of
the
earth
,
séeing
vnder
his
féete
the
cloudes
&
starres
that
did
rise
and
lie
downe
,
in
such
sorte
that
thoughe
he
was
mortall
,
he
séemed
to
be
aboue
the
heigth
and
expectation
of
immortality
.
What
thing
more
greater
and
deuiner
maye
be
more
maruellous
,
speciallye
in
a
King
that
ruled
all
the
worlde
,
Memon
,
the
whiche
euery
time
and
neuerthelesse
man
was
the
Author
or
Inuenter
as
Strabo
,
and
Cornelius
Tacitus
sheweth
.
Who
is
it
that
woulde
not
be
rauished
in
admiration
,
if
at
any
time
he
haue
read
that
whiche
the
Histories
make
mention
of
a
Doue
of
wood
,
Architas
,
being
made
by
certain
figures
and
proportions
of
Mathmaticke
,
did
flie
in
the
ayre
as
other
birdes
:
at
the
admiration
of
which
,
Albert
forged
a
brasen
heade
,
the
which
coulde
speake
plainely
as
if
it
had
bene
a
liuing
soule
enclosed
therein
.
As
in
like
case
Galen
an
Author
worthie
of
credence
writeth
,
that
Archimedes
forged
a
glasse
that
burned
in
the
Sea
the
ships
of
his
enimies
,
the
which
thing
shoulde
not
seeme
to
vs
straunge
nor
vncredible
to
those
that
haue
seene
a
Spanyarde
which
was
in
our
time
,
so
cunning
in
the
composition
of
glasses
,
that
he
made
some
representing
two
Ptolomeus
maketh
mention
that
haue
made
such
straunge
glasses
that
in
looking
therein
there
woulde
appeare
so
manye
faces
as
there
be
houres
in
a
day
.
Besides
an
infinite
number
of
other
things
of
mans
inuention
,
the
whiche
for
prolixitie
I
leaue
out
.
We
haue
sufficiently
shewed
(
to
my
iudgement
)
the
things
most
notable
,
that
the
antiquitie
hath
had
in
great
admiration
in
noble
and
cunning
personages
,
the
which
by
their
doings
haue
shewed
with
what
deuinitie
and
excellencie
of
spirite
man
is
endued
.
Now
there
resteth
in
few
words
to
shew
and
make
mention
of
things
of
our
time
and
of
late
yeares
,
to
the
ende
that
not
leauing
their
glorie
buried
in
the
darknesse
of
obliuion
,
we
giue
not
all
the
aduantage
and
preheminence
to
others
.
Among
all
the
workes
and
doyngs
of
our
Elders
and
Auncesters
,
I
can
finde
nothing
that
maye
equall
or
compare
to
the
wonderfull
Inuention
,
Printing
,
the
which
surmounteth
all
that
the
Antiquitie
maye
conceyue
or
imagine
of
excellent
,
knowing
that
it
conserueth
and
kéepeth
all
the
conceptions
of
our
soules
,
it
is
the
treasurer
that
immortaliseth
the
monuments
of
our
spirites
,
and
eterniseth
worlde
without
end
,
and
also
bringeth
to
light
the
fruites
of
oure
labors
,
and
although
somewhat
maye
be
added
to
all
other
Artes
and
humaine
inuentions
,
yet
this
alone
hath
entred
with
such
good
hap
and
perfection
into
this
worlde
,
that
there
cannot
be
added
nor
deminished
any
thing
that
doth
not
render
it
defectious
and
deformed
:
these
effectes
,
are
so
maruellous
,
and
executed
with
such
celeritie
and
diligence
,
that
one
man
alone
in
one
day
wil
Print
more
letters
,
than
the
most
promptest
Scribe
or
Scriuiner
may
write
with
pen
in
the
space
of
one
Moneth
,
who
is
it
therefore
that
doth
not
maruell
at
the
barbarousnesse
and
miserie
of
the
Elders
,
the
which
as
Strabo
de
situ
orbis
writeth
,
first
did
write
in
ashes
,
them
afterward
in
barks
of
trées
,
after
that
in
stones
,
then
afterwad
in
leaues
of
Lawrel
,
them
in
lead
,
consequently
in
Parchment
,
and
finally
in
Paper
.
And
as
they
were
variable
in
their
maner
of
writing
,
so
vsed
they
dyuers
instruments
:
for
vpon
stones
they
did
write
with
Iron
,
on
leaues
with
pincers
,
on
ashes
with
their
fingar
,
on
barkes
wyth
kniues
,
on
parchment
with
canes
,
on
paper
with
quilles
.
And
firste
theyr
ynke
was
liquor
of
a
certaine
fish
,
afterward
with
the
iuice
of
Mulberies
,
after
that
with
Chimney
sout
,
&
then
with
Gaules
,
Gum
and
Coporas
,
the
which
I
thought
good
to
set
forth
to
manifest
and
shew
vnto
you
the
barbarous
doings
in
the
former
age
.
Of
the
which
Polydorus
maketh
mention
,
who
in
the
yere
.
1453
founde
out
the
right
vse
of
Printing
.
I
coulde
in
like
case
giue
the
second
degrée
of
prayse
to
those
that
haue
inuented
the
vse
of
Gunnes
and
Munitions
for
war
,
were
it
not
that
I
haue
shewed
in
my
second
booke
of
the
miseries
of
man
,
that
it
bringeth
more
harme
and
detriment
,
then
decoration
and
ornament
to
our
humaine
kind
.
And
yet
this
is
more
miraculous
,
which
Brasauolus
hath
written
,
that
an
Artillerie
man
hath
founde
in
our
time
the
muention
to
make
Gunpouder
that
maketh
no
noyse
in
goyng
out
of
the
Gunnes
mouth
.
Leue
we
therfore
these
thunders
and
rorings
of
Iupiter
inuented
by
the
Diuell
for
to
spoyle
humaine
kinde
,
to
the
cunning
and
liuelynesse
of
spirit
,
of
men
of
oure
time
,
in
the
number
of
which
we
maye
put
an
Artificer
of
Italie
that
presented
to
the
Prince
of
Vrbin
a
King
for
to
put
on
his

,
in
the
whiche
was
set
a
precious
stone
,
wherein
there
was
a
Diall
,
the
which
beside
the
line
that
shewed
the
houres
,
gaue
warning
with
a
stroke
vnto
him
that
did
weare
it
of
euerie
houre
.
Who
is
it
that
doth
not
maruell
of
that
that
Ierom
Cardan
,
Millan
washed
his
face
and
his
handes
with
molten
Leade
,
hauing
first
washed
them
with
a
certaine
other
water
:
what
miracle
is
this
,
that
man
shoulde
expose
his
flesh
,
which
is
so
tender
and
delicate
against
the
fury
of
a
mettal
so
hote
.
Now
therfore
there
resteth
no
more
in
man
but
to
make
himself
immortal
,
séeing
that
he
hath
found
the
meanes
to
expose
hys
naked
members
to
the
violence
of
fier
.
And
if
this
séeme
to
vs
wonderfull
how
he
might
resist
the
heate
,
yet
this
is
not
lesse
straunge
of
that
whych
Alexander
,
Cicilie
there
was
a
man
that
euery
one
named
the
fish
Colas
,
the
which
from
his
infancie
frequented
and
dwelled
in
the
Sea
,
and
there
remained
with
suche
obstination
that
he
became
aquitall
,
Pontanus
hath
also
written
it
.
There
resteth
nowe
nothing
to
man
but
to
penetrate
the
aire
and
the
firmament
to
be
come
familier
with
them
.
Leonard
Vincius
the
which
hath
sought
out
the
Art
of
flying
,
and
had
almost
luckely
atchieued
his
effect
,
without
putting
in
count
the
Histrians
that
we
haue
seene
in
our
time
flie
on
a
rope
in
the
ayre
with
such
dexteritie
and
perill
,
that
the
verie
eyes
of
Princes
and
great
Lordes
that
beheld
them
were
amased
,
and
could
not
abide
to
see
them
.
It
is
not
therfore
with
out
a
cause
that
Mercurius
Trimigisteus
describing
the
dignitie
of
man
,
and
of
the
deuine
celeritie
of
spirite
with
the
which
he
is
endued
,
said
vnto
his
sonne
Tatius
,
what
doste
thou
think
thou
art
,
what
treasure
thinkest
thou
that
thy
members
contain
and
kepe
,
commaund
thy
soule
to
passe
the
Ocean
sea
,
and
it
shal
be
as
much
as
thou
hast
commaunded
,
without
passing
out
of
his
place
,
commaund
it
to
flie
to
heauen
,
and
it
shal
flie
incontinently
without
the
helpe
of
any
wings
,
&
also
there
shall
be
nothing
that
shall
let
or
hinder
his
course
,
neither
the
burning
heate
of
the
sunne
,
neyther
the
amplitude
or
spreading
of
the
ayre
,
neyther
the
course
nor
reuolution
of
the
heauens
,
nor
of
al
the
other
clouds
,
but
that
it
shal
penetrate
&
passe
forth
.
Furthermore
if
thou
art
minded
to
surpasse
al
the
globes
of
the
firmament
,
and
sée
what
is
there
contained
,
it
shal
be
likewise
lawful
for
thée
:
sée
then
how
great
is
the
sodenrie
of
the
soule
,
estéeme
thy self
immortal
,
and
that
thou
mayest
comprehende
all
Arts
and
sciences
,
exalt
thy selfe
aboue
all
,
and
discend
more
déeper
than
the
déepest
,
gather
togither
all
the
meaning
of
thy
déedes
,
likewise
of
fier
,
of
water
,
drinesse
and
moysture
,
be
thou
ouer
all
the
partes
of
the
world
,
in
heauen
,
in
earth
,
&
in
the
Sea
,
dwell
or
inhabit
out
of
the
vessell
of
this
bodie
.
Man
therefore
is
a
great
miracle
of
nature
,
who
althoughe
he
be
composed
and
made
of
a
mortall
nature
:
neuerthelesse
the
other
is
celestiall
,
and
remembreth
the
gifts
of
grace
,
it
despiseth
terrestriall
things
,
and
wissheth
for
heauenlye
things
,
for
bicause
that
the
better
part
féeleth
to
haue
from
thence
his
proper
affinitie
,
and
naturall
aliaunce
.
But
if
the
soule
or
the
reason
which
is
a
facultie
and
powre
of
the
same
,
which
can
no
more
forsake
it
than
the
light
or
brightnesse
doth
the
sunne
,
Mercurius
nameth
tyrants
and
murtherers
of
the
same
,
the
which
doe
so
let
and
hinder
that
she
can
not
shew
hir
deuine
excellencie
,
vnlesse
that
by
contemplation
we
separate
oure selues
and
sequestrate
from
them
And
then
when
that
she
is
separated
from
this
burthen
of
the
bodie
,
and
almost
putrified
,
it
receyueth
heauenly
gifts
,
flieth
vp
to
heauen
,
talketh
with
the
Aungels
,
and
penitrateth
euen
before
the
throne
of
Gods
maiestie
,
and
being
enflamed
with
a
deuine
feruency
,
it
bringeth
forth
things
miraculous
&
almost
vncredible
.
As
we
reade
of
Moyses
after
that
he
was
separated
from
men
,
and
was
certain
time
in
the
desert
of
Ethiopia
,
his
face
did
so
shine
that
the
children
of
Israel
could
not
behold
him
.
S.
Paule
was
rauished
to
the
third
heauen
.
In
like
case
Socrates
sometimes
as
transfigured
did
diligently
and
stedfastly
beholde
the
sunne
for
the
space
of
an
houre
.
Alexander
the
great
,
being
on
a
time
in
extréeme
perill
of
his
life
in
a
certaine
battell
that
he
had
in
the
Indies
being
without
help
or
succor
,
he
was
in
such
an
agonie
that
he
swet
pure
bloude
from
his
face
and
his
bodie
,
so
that
it
séemed
to
the
Indians
that
he
was
all
on
a
fierie
flame
,
the
which
caused
among
〈◊〉
such
feare
that
they
were
fai●
to
〈◊〉
him
and
let
him
go
.
By
this
you
maye
sée
then
,
that
sometimes
the
soule
hath
so
much
powre
ouer
the
bodie
,
the
which
is
but
the
sepulcher
wherin
it
is
buried
,
that
it
is
at
libertie
,
and
surmounteth
our
capacitie
,
and
séeketh
to
sée
againe
his
first
home
,
which
is
heauen
,
in
suche
sort
,
that
the
body
remaineth
voyd
of
féeling
or
mouing
.
As
S.
Augustine
reherseth
of
a
Priest
,
the
which
so
often
as
he
would
be
in
contemplation
or
praier
,
he
would
fall
down
as
dead
or
in
a
traunce
without
breathing
or
anye
féeling
in
him
,
so
that
what
paine
so
euer
was
shewed
him
,
he
felt
no
harme
at
all
,
and
after
he
was
returned
to
himselfe
,
he
woulde
tell
such
straunge
things
that
the
assistantes
would
maruell
to
heare
him
,
Herodotus
writeth
the
like
of
a
great
Philosopher
that
was
named
Atheus
,
of
whome
he
sheweth
for
a
truth
the
soule
many
times
to
forsake
his
bodie
,
&
after
it
hath
peregrinated
or
wandered
through
diuers
countries
and
Regions
,
it
shewed
by
order
that
which
it
had
seene
,
the
which
was
approued
to
be
as
true
as
thoughe
it
had
bene
present
.
The
death
of
Iulian
the
Emperour
was
forshewed
him
by
a
childe
,
who
after
he
had
looked
in
a
glasse
shewed
him
of
hys
destruction
,
and
howe
his
enimies
were
comming
,
&
those
that
shoulde
kill
him
,
without
hauing
any
knowledge
or
hearing
any
speake
thereof
.
A
certaine
Philosopher
did
the
like
to
Pompei
,
the
which
shewed
him
in
a
glasse
the
order
of
hys
enimies
redie
to
march
in
battell
.
These
are
the
effectes
and
powre
of
the
soule
,
the
whiche
sometimes
being
vnbounde
from
earthly
bandes
,
is
rauished
in
the
contemplation
of
heauenly
secrets
,
and
doth
vncredible
,
miraculous
,
monstruous
and
maruellous
things
,
and
that
séeme
almost
to
fight
with
the
nature
,
which
is
the
cause
that
for
the
most
part
the
vulgar
sort
referreth
many
things
to
the
inuention
of
wicked
spirits
,
the
which
they
ought
to
attribute
to
man
,
as
hys
owne
&
proper
heritage
.
It
is
of
a
truth
that
Leonard
Pistoriensis
did
so
wel
diet
himselfe
that
by
little
and
little
he
abstayned
from
eating
,
Bochas
in
base
Almayne
,
that
for
the
space
of
.xxx.
yeres
tooke
no
repast
nor
refection
by
the
mouth
,
Nicolas
of
Saxonie
a
Swecian
of
Nation
,
the
which
remained
or
dwelled
.xxij.
yeares
in
the
wildernesse
,
and
continued
in
his
abstinencie
during
his
life
,
Damascenus
proueth
by
many
reasons
maye
be
possible
and
according
to
nature
,
séeing
that
manye
beastes
and
wormes
are
in
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
and
remaine
hid
many
Monthes
and
yeres
without
food
.
And
at
this
daye
it
is
saide
that
the
Scithians
will
continue
twelue
days
without
meat
being
comforted
with
the
vertue
of
a
certaine
herbe
that
they
kéepe
enclosed
in
their
mouth
.
Now
what
shal
we
séeke
more
in
this
creature
of
God
that
is
wonderful
reserued
deuinitie
,
for
if
we
should
rehearse
and
declare
all
the
singularities
and
excellencies
that
are
manifested
and
shewed
in
him
,
of
the
which
many
writers
make
mention
,
I
should
occupy
a
large
volume
.
Some
by
a
hid
,
secret
and
deuine
misterie
coulde
not
by
no
meanes
be
offended
or
grieued
with
any
kinde
of
poyson
or
venim
,
as
a
king
named
Mithridates
who
after
that
he
was
vanquished
and
ouercome
by
Pompei
,
Galen
the
Prince
of
Medicins
writeth
that
a
Maide
(
named
Napellus
)
Auicen
writeth
that
in
hys
time
he
did
sée
a
man
from
whom
all
venemous
beasts
would
flie
,
&
if
by
chaunce
any
one
had
bitten
him
or
touched
him
they
shoulde
straight
wayes
die
.
Some
whom
the
Gréekes
haue
named
Ophirgenes
,
who
with
onely
touching
healed
the
stinging
of
serpents
,
and
laying
the
hand
on
a
bodie
would
draw
out
the
venim
.
As
also
do
the
Psiles
and
Marciens
a
people
of
Affrica
the
Ambassador
of
which
named
Exagon
,
Marcus
Crassus
,
for
this
cause
he
was
named
Agelaste
for
that
he
was
neuer
séene
laugh
.
Some
haue
neuer
snorted
nor
routed
as
Pomponius
.
Some
haue
neuer
spit
,
as
Antonius
the
second
.
Some
haue
neuer
felt
dolor
nor
paine
in
their
bodie
,
as
Pontanus
writeth
of
himself
,
who
sometimes
would
let
him self
fal
,
and
yet
felt
no
harme
.
Some
haue
had
such
a
cleare
sight
,
that
they
coulde
sée
well
fiftie
or
thrée
score
Leagues
of
,
as
Solin
&
Plinie
writeth
,
of
one
that
was
named
Strabon
the
which
in
the
time
of
open
warre
saw
from
a
Promontorie
of
Cicill
the
ships
to
sayle
from
the
Port
of
Carthage
in
Affrica
,
althoughe
it
was
aboue
a
hundreth
thousand
distance
.
Tiberius
the
Emperour
waking
a
certaine
houre
in
the
night
,
Plinie
witnesseth
in
the
country
of
Cardulius
that
will
run
as
swift
as
Dogges
,
and
go
so
fast
a
pace
that
it
is
vnpossible
to
take
them
,
but
only
by
sicknesse
&
age
.
Quintus
Curtius
and
many
others
write
that
Alexander
the
great
,
was
composed
of
such
harmonie
and
temperance
of
humors
that
his
breath
smelled
naturally
like
Balme
,
also
his
sweat
was
so
swéete
that
when
his
Pipes
were
open
,
they
thought
that
he
was
all
perfumed
wyth
perfumes
,
and
that
which
is
more
straunge
and
harde
to
beleue
,
his
bodie
cast
suche
a
sauor
being
deade
,
that
one
woulde
haue
iudged
it
full
of
Aromatical
drugs
or
perfumes
.
Caius
Caesar
was
so
good
on
horsebacke
that
he
caused
hys
handes
to
be
bound
behind
him
,
and
it
was
a
monstruous
thing
to
sée
and
vncredible
to
heare
,
that
holding
his
knées
close
to
the
horse
,
without
bridell
and
saddell
he
woulde
stay
and
turne
a
horse
so
lightly
or
nimblye
as
though
he
had
bene
bridled
,
the
which
was
in
the
time
when
he
fauored
Marius
against
Sylla
.
M.
Paulus
a
Venetian
reciteth
that
the
Tartarians
haue
so
much
powre
ouer
spirits
,
and
are
so
excellent
in
séeking
the
secretes
of
nature
that
they
cause
darkenesse
to
come
when
they
will
,
and
that
he
being
once
compassed
with
théeues
by
this
Art
,
with
great
paine
escaped
.
Haitonus
a
man
of
singuler
doctrine
and
of
great
authoritie
,
is
witnesse
of
this
in
his
History
of
Sarmates
,
that
the
armie
of
the
Tartarians
almost
ouercome
or
destroyed
,
was
againe
restored
by
the
enchauntment
of
a
Standarde
bearer
,
that
caused
darkenesse
to
come
vpon
the
campe
of
his
enimies
.
I
haue
red
in
many
auncient
Histories
that
the
Ethiopians
by
the
vertues
and
properties
of
certain
herbes
gathered
in
season
,
do
drie
the
floudes
and
Riuers
,
and
doe
open
all
things
that
are
shut
What
shal
we
saye
more
of
the
excellencie
of
man
,
there
hath
bene
founde
some
so
wonderfull
in
Musicke
,
that
they
chaunged
the
affections
of
those
that
did
heare
them
,
their
iests
and
mouings
,
caused
them
to
be
ioyfull
,
sorowfull
and
bold
,
according
as
they
would
adulciate
or
harden
their
noyse
.
Terpander
and
Metimeus
,
Empedocleus
,
Orpheus
,
&
Emphion
,
haue
bene
so
excellent
in
this
Arte
,
that
they
healed
in
their
time
manye
that
were
franticke
,
mad
,
and
possessed
with
spirits
,
Pithagoras
by
the
perfection
of
this
Arte
so
rauished
the
memorie
of
a
yong
man
within
few
days
that
he
made
him
chaste
,
and
caused
him
to
forget
the
louing
passions
that
tormented
him
continually
.
All
the
Gréeke
and
Latin
writers
that
haue
treated
of
the
iestes
of
Alexander
,
make
mention
of
his
Harper
Thimotheus
,
who
when
he
was
at
a
banket
,
playd
an
Alarum
or
assault
,
causing
the
King
to
forsake
the
banket
,
and
take
his
armor
,
so
that
his
spirites
remaining
vanquished
or
ouercome
,
was
constrained
to
obey
to
the
harmony
that
proceaded
from
the
instrument
.
Agamemnon
going
to
war
against
the
Troians
not
being
verie
sure
of
the
chastitie
of
his
wife
Clitemnestra
,
left
hir
in
the
garde
and
kéeping
of
an
excellent
Harper
,
who
when
that
he
saw
hir
in
hir
amorous
toyes
,
mitigated
hir
burning
heate
by
the
swéetnesse
of
his
instrument
.
In
such
sort
that
Aegisthus
coulde
not
obtayne
his
desier
before
that
he
had
slaine
the
said
Musition
,
which
by
his
Art
and
Harmonie
was
so
faithfull
a
kéeper
and
Protector
.
Among
these
we
maye
recite
the
great
King
Dauid
,
who
by
the
vertue
of
his
Hary
did
mollifie
and
appease
the
furie
of
King
Saule
when
that
the
wicked
spirite
did
torment
him
,
as
it
is
most
plainly
shewed
in
the
second
booke
of
the
Kings
.
To
be
short
,
and
to
set
the
last
seale
to
the
dignitie
and
excellencye
of
man
,
there
is
no
part
of
him
,
but
that
there
may
be
some
fruite
gathered
to
the
vse
of
Phisicke
,
as
Galen
and
many
others
write
.
A
mans
fasting
spittle
serueth
against
the
biting
of
venemous
beastes
,
Faustine
wife
to
Marcus
Auresius
.
The
flesh
embalmed
is
verie
soueraigne
in
many
vsages
of
Phisick

Many
auncient
Phisitions
of
Graecia
and
Arabia
haue
vsed
the
marrow
of
our
bones
,
the
braynes
of
men
,
and
their
bowels
,
yea
euen
the
duste
and
ashes
of
mens
bones
,
for
to
drinke
them
and
cause
them
to
serue
with
maruellous
effects
to
the
vsage
of
Phisicke
.
Orpheus
and
Orchilaus
healed
the
quinancie
with
humaine
bloud
,
yea
the
filth
of
our
nailes
,
Plinie
witnesseth
for
to
heale
the
Feuer
,
so
that
there
is
no
member
of
a
mans
bodie
,
but
that
it
is
profitable
,
not
so
much
as
the
sweate
of
a
man
,
but
that
hath
bene
proued
,
as
Galen
writeth
,
also
the
breath
of
a
man
well
tempered
,
comforteth
greatlye
the
Leprousy
as
in
like
case
the
exerements
of
man
(
the
which
can
not
be
pronounced
without
shame
)
the
which
as
Xenocrates
sayeth
,
was
vsed
to
the
vse
of
auncient
Phisicke
,
finding
so
many
helthful
and
excellent
remedies
in
man
,
that
the
antiquity
pardoned
no
member
,
though
it
were
neuer
so
abiect
and
vile
for
to
draw
out
profit
.
Séeing
then
that
man
is
so
worthy
and
so
excellent
,
so
wonderful
and
celestial
.
Let
vs
therfore
leaue
hereafter
to
compare
him
to
brute
beastes
.
The
which
although
God
hath
prouided
for
them
all
that
for
them
is
néedefull
for
the
preseruation
of
their
life
,
giuing
to
some
,
skin
,
others
haire
,
aswell
for
to
sustaine
and
endure
the
violence
of
the
colde
as
other
inclinencies
of
the
ayre
,
and
to
others
munimentes
and
defences
for
to
repulse
the
dexterior
euilles
,
to
other
lightnesse
and
swiftnesse
to
run
&
flie
,
to
others
subtilty
to
hide
themselues
in
dens
and
caues
of
the
earth
,
to
others
fethers
and
wings
that
they
maye
hang
in
the
ayre
,
to
the
ende
to
euitate
the
furie
and
rage
of
man
,
all
the
which
things
notwithstanding
are
of
little
value
to
the
regard
of
man
.
For
although
he
be
created
naked
,
and
couered
with
so
tender
a
skin
,
that
quickely
he
is
hurt
and
receyueth
harme
,
yet
neuerthelesse
that
was
not
done
without
great
prouidence
.
Cabalists
named
Pahat
in
the
Hebrue
tongue
,
with
the
which
Adam
our
first
father
fortified
liued
being
conuersant
with
the
beasts
,
to
whom
he
gaue
the
names
,
so
that
he
had
got
such
authority
and
empire
ouer
them
that
they
knew
him
as
their
lord
&
souereign
maister
,
but
after
that
he
transgressed
,
the
deuine
marke
was
effaced
and
abolished
,
not
altogither
,
but
for
the
most
part
.
Of
the
traces
and
footesteps
thereof
we
sée
yet
certain
sparks
and
beames
shine
in
some
vertuous
men
,
who
although
they
be
in
the
wildernesse
&
that
they
lodge
and
lie
in
the
dens
&
caues
of
brute
beasts
,
they
feare
them
nothing
,
but
liue
without
feare
with
them
,
as
we
reade
in
the
holie
scripture
of
Sampson
,
Dauid
,
Daniell
among
the
Lions
.
Heliseus
with
the
Beares
,

There
resteth
nowe
in
fewe
wordes
to
aunswere
to
the
allegations
that
we
haue
made
in
our
booke
of
humaine
miseries
,
aswell
of
the
vilenesse
of
the
nature
(
of
the
which
man
was
created
)
as
of
the
condicion
that
is
so
tender
and
fraile

that
in
many
things
beastes

Plato
knowing
the
goodnes
that
God
hath
done
to
vs

let
vs
giue
him
thankes
in
that

are
borne
men
,
not
beastes
,
and
if
that
we
finde
anye
thornes
in
this
crooked
life
that
with
ease
we
cannot
disgest
,
&
if
we
féele
anye
fight
in
our
soule
,
the
which
is
hid
in
this
body
as
in
a
graue
,
let
vs
endeuor
our selues
to
go
