Although
I
know
that
worthy
Knight
,
the
Author
of
thèse
Essayes
,
hateth
nothing
more
then
comming
in
publick
,
yet
many
Copies
of
them
being
bestowed
,
by
often
transcription
(
as
it
many
times
hapneth
)
they
might
haue
beene
by
a
mercenary
hand
fowly
corrupted
and
altered
in
sence
,
and
both
in
his
absence
and
mine
,
deliuered
to
some
Printer
,
who
to
make
present
gaine
,
would
haue
published
them
vnpolished
,
and
deformed
without
any
correction
:
to
preuent
which
,
hauing
in
my
hands
a
perfect
Copy
,
and
being
inwardly
priuate
with
his
priuatest
conceits
,
I
thought
it
better
to
divulge
them
,
then
to
aduenture
that
hazard
.
To
couer
this
presumption
,
I
haue
made
your
Ladiships
partners
in
the
patronage
,
because
I
am
sure
howsoeuer
he
shall
dislike
the
publishing
,
yet
it
shall
please
him
that
your
Ladiships
names
are
honoured
in
the
forefront
of
his
writings
.
I
know
also
,
that
if
himselfe
could
haue
been
perswaded
to
make
them
thus
vulgar
,
out
of
his
owne
choise
,
to
your
Ladiships
they
had
beene
directed
,
of
whose
vertues
I
haue
heard
his
owne
tongue
vtter
such
worthy
praises
,
that
I
doubt
not
but
his
Heart
(
which
alwayes
agreeth
with
his
tongue
)
and
all
his
other
powers
,
are
,
and
shall
euer
be
consecrated
to
your
Ladiships
seruice
.
The
worke
of
it selfe
being
vertuous
,
it
cannot
but
be
gracious
to
your
Ladiships
:
for
in
this
backward
Age
(
too
much
declining
from
Vertue
,
)
who
are
more
fit
to
protect
and
defend
her
then
your
Ladiships
,
who
are
so
neerely
allied
to
Vertue
,
that
she
hath
chosen
you
for
her
Temple
,
therein
inshrined
her selfe
,
and
in
you
onely
desireth
to
be
adored
.
Your
Ladiships
are
neerely
conioyned
in
blood
,
three
of
you
being
Sisters
by
nature
,
the
fourth
by
Loue
:
but
that
coniunction
is
nothing
so
noble
(
although
very
noble
)
as
that
sweete
combination
of
your
spirits
,
which
are
all
so
deuoted
to
Good
,
that
though
there
be
a
Quaternity
of
your
persons
,
yet
those
persons
are
so
guided
by
those
Angel-like
spirits
,
that
they
make
vp
a
delightfull
harmony
,
a
Soule-rauishing
Musick
,
and
a
most
pleasing
and
perfect
Simpathy
of
Affections
.
If
then
your
Ladiships
shall
patronize
these
Essayes
,
what
venemous
tongues
shall
dare
to
infect
them
?
If
you
like
,
who
will
dislike
them
?
what
you
allowe
,
nothing
but
Enuie
,
Detraction
,
and
Ignorance
wil
disallow
,
whose
infectious
●reaths
shall
bee
so
purified
by
the
●recious
Balme
of
your
Vertues
,
that
all
shall
sodainlie
dissolue
into
the
sweet
Aire
of
Applause
.
They
are
now
(

your
owne

Essay
.
I.
OF
RESOlution
.
THe
Worlde
is
a
booke
▪
the
words
and
actions
of
men
Commentaries
vpon
that
volume
:
The
former
lyke
manuscriptes
priuate
:
the
latter
common
;
lyke
things
printed
.
None
rightly
vnderstand
this
Authour
,
most
goe
contrary
.
Some
fewe
according
to
probalitie
:
but
the
worst
of
all
is
,
the
vnsetled
opinion
,
whose
continuall
alteration
makes
him
vnprofitable
to
himselfe
,
and
to
others
.
So
much
haue
I
hated
this
giddy
vnconstantnesse
,
as
I
haue
bin
content
to
take
knowledge
of
duttie
Resolutions
,
and
to
preferre
them
before
the
other
;
yea
to
pittie
&
admire
them
both
together
,
and
to
end
the
viewing
that
obiect
with
allowing
the
vertue
of
the
Iewel
,
if
it
had
bene
wel
set
.
Truly
I
need
no
other
example
then
mine
owne
life
,
which
en●●red
continual
troubles
,
while
youth
and
folly
gouerned
my
barke
in
the
sea
of
chaunges
.
I
still
contradicted
my self
,
attempted
nothing
,
but
a
languishing
wearinesse
possessed
me
before
the
ende
:
but
it
was
no
matter
,
so
vnworthy
were
those
thoughts
and
attemptes
,
as
they
were
worthy
of
an
vntimely
death
,
&
to
be
interred
in
the
mire
of
Irresolution
.
In
the
end
I
found
my self
:
and
my
soule
vndertooke
to
guide
me
into
a
more
wholsom
aire
:
I
dare
not
say
shee
hath
kept
promise
really
,
but
it
was
my
own
fault
,
yet
in
part
she
hath
:
Her
motions
,
my
own
memory
&
bookes
haue
done
something
:
these
last
I
am
much
bound
too
,
especially
to
Seneca
and
Plato
,
who
haue
gotten
this
power
ouer
me
,
(
though
they
seldom
make
me
do
well
,
yet
)
they
oftentimes
make
me
thinke
well
:
they
so
wholely
possesse
me
,
as
I
then
resolue
to
meditate
on
nothing
vnder
Socrates
Apologie
.
Me
thinkes
I
am
strong
,
and
able
to
encounter
my
affection
,
but
hardly
haue
my
thoughts
made
an
end
of
this
gallant
discourse
,
but
in
comes
a
wife
,
or
a
friend
,
at
whose
sight
my
Armour
of
defence
is
broken
,
and
I
coulde
weepe
with
them
,
or
bee
content
to
laugh
at
their
triuiall
sports
.
After
which
I
come
again
to
see
my
promise
broken
,
that
challenge
in
cold
bloud
makes
me
desperate
,
that
were
i●
not
for
the
comfort
of
my
youth
,
which
gently
giues
mee
time
,
I
should
surely
punish
my
inconstancie
with
great
rygour
.
Thus
it
is
with
me
yet
,
and
I
am
afraid
of
worse
,
by
comparing
what
power
these
gentle
Disturbances
haue
ouer
me
:
I
am
afraid
griefes
and
calamities
would
ouerthrow
me
:
nay
,
I
will
not
be
afraid
(
since
it
is
truth
)
to
confesse
,
that
I
am
more
troubled
to
thinke
Disasters
should
trouble
me
,
then
of
themselues
:
yet
I
am
sometimes
perswaded
not
to
mistrust
my self
,
since
I
haue
alreadie
tasted
some
store
of
crosses
,
but
they
are
nothing
,
no
not
preparatiues
to
that
I
may
feele
.
Not
leauing
these
thoughts
thus
,
I
beginne
to
search
into
the
inuentory
of
my
thinges
esteemed
,
&
I
find
no●
that
I
haue
cause
to
loue
any
thing
so
preciously
:
I
haue
a
wife
,
&
a
very
good
one
,
I
loue
her
according
to
her
deserts
,
but
should
she
fal
into
any
thing
except
dishonestie
(
which
her
vertue
I
know
will
defend
her
from
)
I
would
not
weep
if
I
could
choose
,
nor
do
any
thing
more
than
stand
the
surer
vpon
my
guard
to
resist
fortune
:
for
wealth
,
and
her
Appendices
,
I
know
them
not
,
nor
did
I
long
for
them
euer
,
but
to
keepe
mee
from
basenesse
,
and
to
exercise
Charitie
.
For
my
Parents
I
owe
them
voluntarily
that
,
which
the
lawes
of
God
,
and
of
Nature
,
exact
of
all
men
,
I
doo
it
without
Hypocrisie
,
or
feare
:
yet
should
they
loose
their
wealth
,
or
their
liues
,
I
wold
neither
teare
my
hair
,
nor
melt
into
womanish
exclamations
.
No
I
know
the
reuolutions
of
the
worlde
,
they
are
not
straunge
to
mee
:
Omnia
tempus
edax
depascitur
,
omnia
capit
,
Nil
sinit
esse
di●s
.
I
think
nothing
wold
more
troble
me
,
than
that
they
shuld
loose
their
reputation
,
I
loue
that
well
,
and
it
wold
grieue
me
sure
to
be
preuented
of
that
patrimony
.
For
other
friends
(
thankes
be
to
God
)
I
haue
but
fewe
,
I
would
I
could
affirme
the
same
of
my
acquaintance
.
The
cause
,
fewe
haue
corrupted
mee
;
and
out
of
my
owne
choyse
,
there
are
few
that
I
hold
worthy
of
that
nearnesse
.
Some
I
haue
whom
I
hold
so
vertuous
,
that
they
wold
be
sorry
to
see
me
lament
for
any
of
their
trialls
.
Thus
I
haue
bene
content
to
hold
you
in
mine
own
example
the
longer
,
as
taking
the
opportunitie
of
recording
these
honest
thoughts
,
whose
wil
I
hope
I
shall
the
better
follow
,
since
I
haue
set
my
hand
to
their
choyse
:
and
I
see
no
reason
but
I
should
be
as
carefull
of
not
breaking
with
them
,
as
common
men
are
of
a
bonde
,
the
penaltie
is
as
much
,
the
law
to
punish
,
&
recouer
lies
open
,
the
court
of
Conscience
with
whom
it
is
alwaies
Terme
time
.
To
speak
now
of
the
contrary
,
it
hath
much
moued
me
to
see
the
strange
alterations
of
men
vpon
slight
occasions
,
at
the
receit
of
a
letter
,
yea
,
before
the
reading
▪
at
a
message
,
at
newes
:
I
haue
bene
so
charitable
as
to
be
sorry
for
them
,
for
these
intollerable
bendings
of
theirs
.
There
are
others
(
but
it
is
no
matter
,
for
they
are
commonly
hawking
,
or
dogging
fellowes
)
that
hoping
the
return
of
some
messenger
imploied
about
these
woorthie
occasions
,
haue
suffered
great
extremitie
betweene
hope
&
feare
in
that
time
:
at
sight
of
the
messenger
,
behold
the
very
heigth
of
Disquietnesse
,
and
wherefore
?
alas
for
a
Dogge
,
or
a
Hawke
:
beleeue
me
▪
a
pittifull
disease
,
which
in
my
opinion
ought
to
be
praied
for
as
earnestly
,
as
one
that
is
vpon
the
point
of
taking
his
leaue
of
his
bodie
.
When
Seneca
writ
the
definition
of
Hope
,
Spes
nomen
est
boni
Incerti
,
I
am
sure
he
meant
not
that
good
this
way
.
Banish
these
grosse
perturbations
all
noble
spirites
,
they
are
daungerous
,
and
the
enemies
of
Resolution
.
I
do
not
poetically
deifie
Resolue
,
neither
do
I
set
vp
a
marke
impossible
to
hit
:
no
,
it
is
in
the
power
of
a
lowe
stature
to
wade
here
without
drowning
:
I
speake
of
no
impossibilitie
,
perhappes
at
the
first
some
little
difficultie
:
there
belonges
so
to
the
basest
trades
,
and
shall
thy
estimation
be
so
tender
hearted
,
as
to
refuse
it
for
so
meane
a
price
:
beware
of
such
couetousnesse
,
for
it
is
worse
then
to
loue
money
.
Our
misfortunes
in
general
,
me
thinks
should
not
be
so
neare
a
kinne
to
vs
,
they
are
no
part
of
vs
,
wee
may
stand
without
them
.
God
hath
giuen
vs
Bodies
,
Soules
seperate
from
others
,
and
hath
tied
neither
lands
nor
treasures
vnto
them
,
they
are
no
part
of
their
buildings
,
we
are
worse
then
women
,
if
we
cannot
see
without
these
Habiliments
and
tricks
:
without
question
,
it
is
a
true
signe
of
a
maimed
Soule
,
and
a
deformed
Body
,
to
seeke
luker
from
these
outward
things
.
It
is
more
base
then
to
bee
out
of
countenance
at
a
feast
,
if
not
graced
by
the
Hoste
.
I
am
my selfe
still
,
though
the
world
were
turned
with
the
wrong
side
outward
.
If
I
loose
ground
in
vertue
,
I
will
repent
,
not
wash
Handkercheifes
in
my
teares
.
Man
knowes
not
himselfe
vntill
he
hath
tasted
of
both
fortunes
.
Euery
milke-sop
can
endure
to
swim
in
hot
bathes
;
any
man
shews
gloriously
in
pomp
,
and
no
maruell
,
for
he
feeds
Flatterers
,
and
they
him
:
but
to
endure
the
tempests
of
winter
,
to
be
able
with
his
strength
to
endure
the
most
violent
tides
,
and
still
to
swimme
aloft
,
he
is
the
man
.
You
shall
finde
no
man
that
dares
goe
wet-shod
,
but
will
protest
in
his
Ambition
,
how
much
he
loues
Honour
,
what
exploits
,
what
famous
Acts
he
would
do
,
if
he
had
bene
borne
mightie
:
do
you
heare
my
friend
?
you
are
out
of
the
way
,
if
you
thinke
any
other
estate
but
your
owne
capable
of
true
Honor
:
the
poorer
,
the
better
:
the
stronger
your
enemy
,
the
more
worthy
your
conquest
:
vanquish
your
owne
sicke
wishes
,
and
desires
,
and
the
Chariot
of
triumph
belongs
more
truly
to
you
,
then
to
Caesar.
I
write
thus
,
I
thinke
thus
,
and
I
hope
to
do
thus
:
but
that
blessed
time
is
not
yet
come
.
Now
to
particularities
.
In
the
outward
habit
,
and
in
some
actions
,
I
am
not
so
precise
,
I
like
not
to
be
bound
to
one
,
it
becomes
not
secular
men
,
it
tastes
of
affectation
and
Hipocrisie
:
It
is
naught
,
it
comes
too
neare
singularitie
,
and
a
desire
to
be
noted
:
for
those
things
I
would
conforme
my selfe
:
I
am
not
of
their
mindes
that
tax
Alexanders
putting
on
the
habit
of
the
Persians
.
It
was
a
politick
intent
,
he
ioyned
them
to
him
,
by
that
yeelding
.
For
some
actions
,
if
they
be
not
wholely
vicious
,
humanitie
and
good
nature
shall
make
me
sociable
.
I
will
hauke
with
a
faulkoner
,
hunt
with
hunters
,
talke
of
Husbandrie
with
the
seruants
of
Thrift
:
bee
amorous
with
the
Italian
,
and
drinke
with
the
Dutch
man
,
Non
ad
Ebrietatem
,
sed
ad
voluptatem
:
The
fruite
:
you
shal
therby
winne
their
loues
,
and
you
may
with
that
interest
make
them
honest
:
A
course
neglected
,
but
wel-becomming
a
wise
honest
man
.
Your
determination
being
not
to
put
on
their
imperfections
,
but
to
make
them
perfect
:
So
doth
the
Grafter

fruite
to
a
Crabbe
stocke
:
and
thus
humilitie
alters
not
the
good
,
but
makes
that
which
is
ill
good
.
Some
may
wonder
I
haue
not
yet
touched
Death
the
chiefe
.
If
thou
think'st
so
,
thou
art
a
coward
,
for
in
my
opinion
all
affections
are
more
strong
:
and
though
to
some
it
is
the
chiefe
instrument
of
Feare
,
I
thinke
not
so
,
thou
mistakest
it
,
it
is
past
feare
,
for
thou
art
sure
of
it
.
Thou
art
vnreasonable
,
if
thou
wilt
buy
a
thing
and
not
pay
for
it
:
thou
boughtest
life
,
and
payest
for
it
with
death
.
The
lapidary
is
not
sory
when
he
hath
gotten
the
rinde
,
or
barke
of
a
Iewell
from
what
is
precious
.
Thy
body
is
no
otherwise
,
thou
art
neuer
precious
before
thy
seperation
:
thou
shinest
not
,
thou
hast
no
vertue
in
thee
,
thou
art
not
sound
vntill
the
couer
of
thy
perfection
be
withdrawne
.
In
truth
at
this
time
,
though
my
face
would
hinder
me
from
being
thought
of
Age
,
and
so
by
course
my
lease
might
bee
long
,
yet
I
am
not
afraid
to
be
put
out
of
my
Farme
:
It
is
a
dyrtie
thing
I
dwel
in
,
ful
of
mistie
grosse
aires
,
and
yet
barren
;
I
haue
bene
so
vaineglorious
sometimes
as
to
say
so
,
when
I
haue
bene
answered
by
more
yeares
,
that
I
would
change
that
minde
,
when
I
grew
older
.
I
haue
searched
into
that
speech
,
supposing
there
had
bin
some
concealed
mistery
in
it
,
but
I
could
find
none
:
then
I
thought
they
imagined
my
boldnes
,
the
effect
of
ignorance
:
if
it
be
so
,
I
shall
loue
knowledge
the
worse
while
I
liue
.
To
cure
this
disease
in
a
woman
,
I
would
apply
no
other
medicine
but
example
:
It
is
euery
bodies
case
,
the
fortune
of
Princes
,
as
wel
as
Beggers
,
it
is
the
fashion
.
To
conclude
,
the
first
causer
said
it
should
be
so
:
and
if
thou
art
not
an
Heathen
,
thou
wilt
not
mistrust
his
loue
.
His
wisedome
ordained
it
,
who
is
the
fountaine
of
vnderstanding
:
Come
then
,
Allons
Alegrement
.
I
haue
loued
a
creature
that
hath
bene
the
very
picture
of
Ignorance
,
for
following
the
example
of
Socrates
taking
his
poyson
.
And
Cicero
whom
I
could
neuer
loue
,
because
he
was
a
coward
,
wonne
me
at
his
death
,
with
thrusting
his
necke
out
of
the
coach
,
to
meete
the
sword
of
the
executioner
.

2.
Of
Aduise
.
IF
wee
could
perswade
the
first
Taste
to
respite
the
Operation
,
or
the
Operation
to
leaue
some
part
of
the
sweetenesse
to
the
first
taste
,
our
liues
shuld
be
long
,
happie
,
and
safe
,
for
we
should
begin
to
liue
,
when
we
begin
to
breathe
,
whereas
we
begin
not
to
liue
,
before
we
are
readie
to
die
:
still
defectiue
,
If
hauing
strength
,
wanting
iudgement
;
If
wise
,
Decrepit
;
Fate
,
Desteny
,
and
Fortune
,
are
the
Goddesses
of
Sloth
,
Negligence
,
and
Pleasure
.
These
warrant
our
deafenesse
,
and
promise
a
sanctuary
to
priuiledge
vs
from
Infamy
,
beggery
,
and
misery
,
but
alas
they
cannot
:
wisedome
and
vertue
preuailes
,
and
before
them
these
names
of
shelter
are
but
the
surnames
to
our
folly
.
Our
actions
are
in
our
owne
hands
,
and
it
were
pittie
else
,
for
vertue
&
vice
shuld
be
confounded
,
were
our
deedes
necessited
.
The
world
were
no
world
,
if
they
could
not
be
cut
asunder
by
a
distinction
:
there
were
no
paines
,
no
hier
,
there
were
no
vertue
,
no
glory
,
all
were
one
and
this
one
were
a
Chaos
.
But
there
are
differences
,
There
are
good
,
and
they
are
to
be
praised
,
bad
,
the
example
for
them
yet
indifferent
,
to
eschewe
badnesse
by
their
punishment
,
youth
readie
for
impression
,
Age
wherin
may
be
read
the

of

Times

our
vse
Ages
past
,
to
light
vs
the
way
:
others
to
come
,
the
Iudges
of
our
deserts
.
If
the
end
of
life
be
to
be
good
,
if
the
safest
purchase
of
goodnesse
bee
counsayle
,
if
counsaile
without
scarres
be
most
profitable
,
why
eschew
wee
the
blessing
of
Aduise
?
let
vs
alter
this
tradition
,
let
vs
not
be
so
tender
;
let
vs
make
our
beauties
,
our
strengths
,
our
abilities
compleate
,
with
making
the
proportion
of
the
mind
answerable
to
the
beautie
of
the
body
,
with
giuing
Strength

,
Abilitie

.
Warres
,
and
States
,
and
Counsells
choose
men
practised
in
warres
,
in

,
and
in
counsells
.
Wee
are
to
aske
counsell
for
the
passage
of
our
circuite
of
them
that
haue
passed
it
,
of
Age
,
and
Bookes
:
we
aske
to
know
,
we
cannot
know
except
wee
beleeue
,
wee
must
aske
if
wee
will
knowe
,
wee
must
beleeue
,
or
else
our
asking
is
vaine
.
We
giue
,
and
rightly
giue
preheminence
to
Age
;
wee
haue
found
out
a
word
to
beautifie
the
wrinckles
,
and
hoarinesse
thereof
,
we
call
it
venerable
:
why
?
meerely
in
respect
of
the
Apparence
?
no
,
but
in
respect
of
the
annexion
;
because
wisdome
commonly
accompanies
such
a
presence
:
for
should
we
see
it
in
any
other
thing
,
it
would
be
despised
and
called
riueld
,
and
ill
fauoured
.
Let
them
in
Gods
name
then
shew
vs
their
inward
excellencies
,
and
as
our
eyes
beleeue
them
to
be
old
,
let
our
minds
beleeue
them
to
be
wise
:
I
see
nothing
more
decay
the
fairest
braunches
of
our
Commonwealth
,
then
this
neglect
;
either
wee
will
not
endure
Aduise
,
or
not
beleeue
it
vntill
our
owne
perills
,
and
ouerthrows
make
vs
see
it
,
to
our
shame
.
We
are
inquisitiue
of
Trauailers
concerning
straunge
Countries
;
our
eares
stande
wide
open
for
newes
;
and
sometimes
we
swallow
matters
improbable
:
but
when
we
are
Aduised
for
our
owne
sakes
,
perswaded
by
Vertue
,
tolde
the
passages
of
the
world
truely
,
and
haue
all
this
sealed
vp
with
the
assurance
of
a
fathers
,
or
a
friendes
loue
,
whom
we
haue
no
cause
to
suspect
,
as
speaking
either
for
Ostentation
,
or
Flattery
,
yet
we
beleeue
not
.
Let
vs
supple
our
affections
with
reuerence
,
and
regard
of
their
words
:
let
vs
prepare
our selues
to
receiue
this
inheritance
,
which
feeds
the
minde
,
though
it
doth
not
durtily
pamper
our
bodies
,
it
fortifieth
all
,
and
costs
nothing
,
with
safetie
it
giues
you
that
which
another
perhaps
purchased
with
daunger
,
in
an
houre
his
collection
of
yeares
.
It
would
doubly
blesse
you
with
youth
,
and
iudgement
,
which
seldome
happen
in
our
Age
,
because
our
Age
is
so
obstinate
as
not
to
bee
capable
of
Aduise
.
Let
vs
aske
,
and
follow
:
The
life
of
Industries
first
fruite
is
somewhat
sweatie
,
and
painful
,
but
then
pleasant
,
and
euer
pleasant
.
A
memory
stored
with
the
performance
of
gallant
actions
is
onely
rich
,
it
is
a
sweete
meditation
,
that
may
be
often
read
ouer
without
tediousnesse
.
The
most
leaden
spirit
that
euer
was
,
at
the
hearing
a
Relation
of
an
vnusuall
excellency
,
though
he
be
more
beholding
to
his
eares
,
then
his
head
,
yet
feeles
Emulation
tickle
him
,
and
wishes
his
brand
were
set
vpon
those
riches
.
Wish
and
spare
not
,
but
let
not
Lazinesse
make
thy
wishes
vaine
.
First
let
vs
proclaime
warre
against
delicious
nicenesse
,
and
either
turn
our
affections
to
a
good
vse
,
or
turne
them
out
of
doores

,

he
knew
so
well
to
whom
to
giue

naming
him
his

whose
sword
was
sharpest
,
the
height
of
whose
spirit
should
carry
him
to
the
conuersation
of
actions
stuffed
with
magnanimitie
,
and
iudgement
.
Yea
,
here
's
the
life
,
whether
he
win
,
or
loose
,
he
is
happie

Hanniball
being
demanded
who
were
the
worthiest
Captaines
that
euer
were

names
Alexander
,
himselfe
,
and
some
others
:
Scipio
demaunds
where
he
would
haue
stood
,
if
hee
had
conquered
,
hee
answeres
,
first
:
It
was
well
answered
,
and
he
ment
well
,
his
attempt
shined
too
gloriously
to
be
dusked
by
misfortune
.
I
would
allow
a
man
to
keepe
the
house
no
longer
then
till
hee
be
able
to
flie
,
vntill
his
mind
and
body
are
able
to
carrie
themselues
without
falling
,
not
vntil
hee
bee
past
reeling
,
and
staggering
,
for
that
abilitie
we
neuer
haue
:
but
in
this
time
let
bookes
,
and
Aduise
rectifie
,
and
prepare
vs
fit
for
the
entertaining
of
all
fortunes
;
victories
,
and
ouerthrowes
:
calamitie
,
and
happinesse
.
Let
vs
robbe
and
suck
from
our
Parents
experience
,
and
iudgement
:
let
vs
bee
acquainted
with
the
successes
,
and
sequences
of
the
worlde
,
tracke
their
obseruations
,
bee
acquainted
with
the
mindes
of
times
past
,
and
let
their
bodies
goe
:
If
wee
loue
what
they
did
,
we
haue
the
best
part
of
them
,
for
the
worke
is
commonly
better
than
the
manual
Instruments
effecting
it
,
for
they
are
the
seruants
of
Direction
,
the
thing
performed
the
issue
both
of
minde
&
hand
.
Fie
vpon
these
ingrossing
senses
of
ours
,
that
make
all
fare
the
worse
for
the
satisfaction
of
one
,
and
yet
limit
their
obiects
,
and
carry
leuell
but
certaine
distances
.
The
minde
,
the
minde
is
the
Magazin
of
contentment
,
It
is
the
minde
that
can
distill
the
whole
world
,
all
Ages
,
all
acts
,
all
humane
knowledges
within
the
little
,
little
compasse
of
a
braine
,
and
yet
with
the
force
of
that
little
treasure
commaund
,
dispose
,
censure
,
&
determine
States
,
Actions
,
kingdoms
,
warres
,
ouerthrowes
,
and
all
the
Actes
,
and
Actours
busied
vpon
our
humane
Theater
.
To
this
mind
,
to
this
cesterne
of
preciousnesse
,
let
vs
attribute
al
,
&
not
suffer
the
weight
of
our
affections
to
disorder
this
goodly
frame
,
this
clocke
of
Time
and
Reason
:
O
quam
contemptares
est
Homo
,
nisi
supra
humana
se
erexerit
.
These
licourous
Humours
,
and
Affections
,
are
the
out-offices
of
our
mansion
,
&
the
respect
ought
to
be
giuen
to
the
Director
whose
high
erected
scituation
witnesseth
his
prerogatiue
:
from
the
Rayes
of
this
sun
proceed
all
blessings
,
Aduise
is
the
medium
transporting
them
,
our
braines
like
a
sense
able
to
performe
good
offices
if
imployed
.
Let
vs
receiue
,
and
vtter
,
be
capable
,
and
returne
increase
of
this
fruite
.
What
a
precious
sight
is
it
to
see
a
temperate
young
man
,
how
he
shines
,
Glory
,
and
admiration
attends
all
his
actions
:
It
is
good
in
age
,
because
the
contrary
were
abhominable
,
but
it
is
common
,
&
their
night
being
almost
come
,
they
cannot
but
looke
grauely
,
and
liue
temperately
,
as
well
to
preserue
them
from
paine
,
as
to
eschue
shame
,
and
reproch
.
I
thanke
not
Alexander
for
conquering
the
world
,
but
for
performing
it
before
thirtie
yeare
old
.
Augustus
commaunds
admiration
of
mee
for
nothing
so
much
as
his
beginning
enterprises
of
high
moment
very
young
,
and
yet
with
that
youth
reducing
the
whole
world
vnder
his
subiection
.
I
often
heare
olde
men
wish
themselues
young
,
which
though
I
allow
not
,
as
being
wishes
of
impossibilitie
,
yet
hoping
their
intent
is
to
trace
their
course
moderately
,
&
to
vnite
the
blessings
of
youth
,
and
iudgement
,
I
thinke
it
tollerable
:
but
we
that
are
yet
young
,
need
not
wish
youth
,
for
we
possesse
it
,
but
iudgement
that
may
make
vs
worthy
to
possesse
it
:
then
begin
with
Hearing
,
next
with
following
Aduise
and
Counsaile
:
let
vs
beginne
with
our selues
,
and
marshall
,
and
dispose
our
owne
course
;
let
vs
determine
it
,
&
leaue
nothing
to
vncertainties
,
but
drawing
out
our
intents
regularly
,
follow
that
delineated
,
and
wayed
maner
:
Here
liues
Happinesse
,
for
here
liues
wisedome
:
this
musicke
of
two
strings
is
the
most
delightful
harmony
,
for
the
world
affords
not
a
more
admirable
excellency
then
youth
,
and
iudgement
included
in
one
substance
:
both
partes
showe
their
richest
Treasure
,
the
Soule
iudgment
,
the
Body
youth
:
let
vs
then
infranchize
Aduise
,
and
perswade
our
eares
to
become
good
common-wealths
men
,
to
respect
the
generall
profit
:
Counsell
,
and
Aduise
,
are
the
parents
of
Gouernment
:
what
can
I
reckon
them
more
worthy
,
more
safe
,
more
excellent
in
institution
,
then
Counsell
,
and
Aduise
?

Of
Patience
.
ABout
nothing
doo
I
suffer
greater
conflict
in
my selfe
,
then
about
induring
wrongs
:
for
other
duties
(
though
perhaps
I
seldom
performe
them
)
yet
I
am
resolued
they
should
be
done
:
and
it
is
not
the
fault
of
my
meditation
,
but
of
my
negligent
flesh
:
but
heere
is
set
vp
Reputation
as
the
Garland
appointed
,
and
he
that
reuengeth
not
,
is
not
capable
of
this
glory
.
Heere
hath
crueltie
borrowed
the
apparel
of
wanton
vanitie
,
and
makes
foolish
youth
her
Agent
.
I
know
what
Diuinitie
,
what
Philosophy
perswades
:
I
knowe
these
wrong-doers
to
be
wretched
creatures
,
rather
in
truth
to
bee
pittied
,
then
maliced
,
and
yet
for
all
this
I
dare
not
yeelde
:
the
cause
,
there
is
too
much
safetie
in
following
this
Aduise
,
the
body
by
this
preuents
an
aduenture
,
therefore
that
respect
makes
mee
obstinate
.
I
knowe
againe
this
idle
breath
should
not
diuert
mee
from
Vertue
,
but
hauing
no
present
occasion
wherein
I
may
exercise
valour
,
&
manifest
my
worth
,
I
dare
not
take
day
in
any
thing
so
nearly
concerning
me
.
But
all
this
time
I
finde
not
my selfe
angry
,
but
in
truth
somewhat
subiect
to
vaine-glory
,
which
is
a
worse
disease
,
because
lesse
violent
,
and
therefore
of
more
continuance
.
I
haue
not
yet
any
outward
witnesse
of
my
valour
,
but
this
is
my
determination
,
not
to
refuse
the
first
good
quarrell
,
and
to
performe
it
as
wel
as
I
can
,
after
which
I
will
serue
Vertue
,
beare
,
and
forbeare
:
and
this
I
will
do
in
humilitie
to
please
the
world
,
and
to
showe
them
I
scorne
not
altogether
their
customes
.
Now
ariseth
another
question
,
(
behold
how
subtil
Vice
is
,
shee
stealeth
often
to
the
bed
of
Vertue
,
and
puts
in
a
changeling
,
and
makes
Credulitie
belieue
because
Vertue
is
a
mother
,
therfore
this
is
her
child
:
)
vpon
the
receit
of
a
wrong
,
and
an
honest
determination
to
forgiue
,
I
am
whispered
in
the
eare
,
that
this
lenitie
is
iniustice
,
that
I
nourish
sinne
with
not
cutting
it
vp
when
I
see
it
growe
,
that
though
I
effect
reuenge
,
and
reuenge
could
do
no
more
,
yet
it
is
not
reuenge
,
it
is
iustice
:
pittifull
abuse
,
Anger
is
the
●other
of
Iniustice
,
and
yet
Iu●tice
must
lackey
on
her
Errandes
,
●ight
battailes
,
and
giue
her
the
victory
:
I
cannot
reconcile
these
●ogether
,
but
euen
in
the
behalfe
●f
Truth
,
and
mercy
,
I
wil
combat
●gainst
a
receiued
tradition
.
I
think
nothing
but
murther
should
bee
●unished
:
for
these
pettie
matters
of
theft
,
and
such
trespasses
,
they
●re
the
effect
of
need
,
or
wantonnesse
,
venial
faults
;
Age
common●y
reclaimeth
the
one
,
and
the
other
is
punished
by
the
setter
Po●ertie
:
for
any
thing
lesse
offensiue
,
a
coole
reproofe
,
no
cholle●icke
reuenge
.
I
haue
seene
some
fall
out
vpon
wrong
vnderstanding
,
presently
●ce
hath
chafed
,
sworne
,
stricken
,
played
the
Bedlam
,
and
in
the
end
i●
hath
bene
proued
no
offence
:
Was
not
his
case
lamentable
?
Yes
,
hee
is
bound
more
stricktly
to
Restitution
then
the
sonne
of
an
Vsurer
.
It
is
an
excellent
temperate
Vertue
this
Patience
,
and
punisheth
more
with
no●
punishing
then
the
hastiest
Executioner
.
Though
Enemye
would
be
loth
to
bee
hurt
,
yet
i●
hurteth
them
to
meete
with
a
cold
aduersary
;
the
reuenge
not
performed
,
they
liue
in
feare
,
the
terrour
of
which
is
without
bloodie
hands
,
and
yet
most
terrible
.
If
it
were
possible
to
play
Fury
to
the
life
,
and
yet
not
haue
her
effects
inwardly
,
I
would
be
content
vpon
some
great
occasion
not
to
hurt
▪
but
to
scarre
the
iniurious
,
but
it
is
daungerous
,
and
that
iesting
often
will
discouer
the
intent
,
and
it
is
to
be
feared
will
weaken
the
braine
,
as
ill
as
drunkennesse
.
The
greatest
vse
that
I
see
olde
souldiers
make
of
this
conuersing
with
danger
,
is
an
abilitie
to
suffer
,
and
in
truth
it
is
one
of
the
best
collections
of
Experience
.
Patience
is
the
mother
of
Opportunitie
,
she
prostituteth
her self
to
them
that
nourish
this
her
childe
carefully
,
when
before
Anger
she
goeth
inuisible
,
and
hindereth
them
from
what
they
most
thirst
after
.
When
in
my
reading
I
meete
with
a
fellow
that
hath
deserued
much
of
his
Countrey
,
and
hath
bene
paid
with
vngratefulnes
,
and
yet
endures
without
alteration
,
I
honour
him
,
and
in
my
estimation
,
I
preferre
him
before
the
mightiest
Conquerors
,
or
most
powerfull
Princes
:
ô
he
is
wise
,
hee
knowes
the
passages
of
the
world
wel
,
he
serued
his
country
for
his
countries
sake
,
and
I
thinke
they
haue
rewarded
him
against
their
willes
better
then
they
could
with
their
willes
:
for
in
his
other
deserts
hee
was
but
a
sharer
with
others
▪
the
tractablenes
of
his
people
might
keep
them
in
peace
,
the
valour
of
his
souldiers
make
him
a
Conquerour
:
but
in
this
he
fights
singly
,
he
gouernes
alone
,
he
ouerthrowes
millions
of
affections
,
to
reward
which
,
no
Tryumph
,
no
Palme
,
no
Statue
,
no
Edict
is
sufficient
:
what
then
?

4.
Of
Suspition
.
FRom
the
vttermost
bounds
of
knowledge
and
ignorance
,
are
deriued
all
our
contentments
,
and
discontentments
:
from
the
suruey
of
knowledge
,
proceed
all
delightfull
obiects
,
and
in
the
obscure
darknesse
of
ignorance
,
liues
Doubt
and
Suspect
,
over-valuing
causes
of
Opposition
.
Incestuous
Ignorance
begets
Feare
,
and
then
ingenders
vppon
his
owne
daughter
Suspition
:
this
is
the
originall
of
this
monster
,
which
so
distracts
his
possessour
,
as
in
the
clearest
day
hee
goeth
without
light
,
and
makes
his
imagination
build
blockes
and
thresholdes
,
in
the
plainest
and
most
beaten
way
:
yet
let
Wisedome
mannage
this
blinde
Humour
,
and
it
seeth
:
such
is
the
touch
of
vnderstanding
,
as
it
giueth
things
newe
natures
,
and
makes
clogges
wings
to
raise
him
to
his
pitch
.
From
hence
may
be
demonstrated
what
an
excellent
counsellor
a
self
obseruation
is
,
since
no
words
,
no
works
,
no
passion
,
no
Patience
comes
from
vs
,
that
turn
not
back
their
heads
to
looke
vpon
this
Author
,
and
are
either
ornaments
or
disgraces
to
our
life
:
they
all
resemble
the
Father
,
and
cast
backe
vpon
vs
the
true
reflection
of
our selues
.
Midas
fable
hath
great
interest
in
m●
respecting
the
morrall
,
what
he
touched
was
Golde
:
what
Couetousnesse
toucheth
,
it
conuerts
to
that
vse
:
we
are
all
Bees
,
or
Spiders
,
conuerting
things
indifferent
to
a
particular
qualitie
:
thus
Suspition
which
in
women
,
and
ignorant
persons
,
lookes
like
the
mother
Feare
,
and
is
most
deformed
,
with
wisedome
is
so
ordered
,
as
it
becomes
Forecast
,
and
Prouidence
:
thus
is
the
making
things
good
,
or
ill
,
equally
in
our
choise
,
as
the
being
good
,
or
ill
.
Euen
as
the
pestilencies
of
corrupt
humors
are
fed
by
ill
diet
,
and
slowly
goe
on
in
their
infectious
natures
,
and
increase
so
easily
,
a●
they
showe
not
their
extremitie
sodainly
:
so
is
the
order
of
our
life
disordered
by
giuing
way
to
the
qualities
of
our
affections
:
and
as
we
loose
ground
in
the
right
managing
of
our selues
,
the
other
gets
:
giuing
libertie
we
loose
libertie
,
and
by
degrees
throwing
of
the
prescribed
course
of
Vertue
,
we
fall
into
the
incertainties
of
passions
,
and
appetites
,
and
with
conuerting
Desier
into
base
vses
,
we
purchase
feare
,
and
suspect
,
&
liues
,
liuing
to
no
other
ende
,
but
to
hunt
out
cares
,
and
griefes
.
Vita
quid
est
Hominum
,
nisi
spes
incerta
,
metusque
?
Haec
inter
dubij
viuimus
,
&
morimur
.
Mee
thinkes
there
is
great
indifferency
,
who
receiueth
Ioy
immoderately
,
should
be
touched
with
the
contrary
equally
,
otherwise
he
buyes
without
payment
:
who
suspects
ought
to
be
,
and
is
suspected
.
If
we
like
not
this
,
let
vs
deliuer
men
ware
more
precious
,
and
wee
shall
not
be
offered
such
base
stuffe
in
exchaunge
.
It
is
the
trafficke
of
Humours
that
disorders
our
conuersation
,
and
a
seeking
a
present
itching
contentment
,
brings
repentance
on
the
one
side
,
and
derision
on
the
other
.
Thus
are
our
liues
either
weeping
or
laughing
:
and
euery
one
by
turnes
either
feeles
his
own
paine
,
and
laments
,
or
seeing
better
a
far
off
then
neare
hand
,
laughes
at
his
own
imperfections
in
another
.
Who
seeth
a
Louer
,
&
loues
not
?
forcing
his
imagination
to
draw
a
portrature
of
perfection
,
and
then
Pigmalion-like
inamoured
of
his
owne
workemanship
,
and
laughes
not
?
Who
seeth
this
creature
feed
vpon
the
Suspition
of
a
Riuals
entertaining
his
mistresse
,
his
eares
not
hauing
abilitie
to
performe
their
office
,
and
therfore
teaching
his
eyes
a
new
occupation
,
measuring
the
wind
that
proceeds
from
her
mouth
,
and
spelling
words
by
the
obseruation
of
her
lippes
,
and
pitties
not
?
when
in
another
vice
this
pitying
laughter
may
deserue
these
marks
of
reproach
,
and
haue
his
Iudges
part
taken
from
him
,
and
condemned
by
his
owne
sentence
.
Te
respice
,
quid
,
quoties
,
obijcias
casiquam
.
Amendment
is
more
excellent
than
reproofe
:
for
things
purchase
value
with
the
quicknes
of
their
loose
,
&
thus
Amendment
which
is
immediatly
good
:
Reproofe
receiues
the
nature
of
all
things
performed
for
anothers
sake
,
they
being
laborious
and
painfull
:
besides
Suspition
cannot
detract
from
acted
Aduise
which
is
example
.
What
this
humour
doeth
vndirected
,
it
vndoeth
:
what
directed
sul
of
preseruation
.
Suspition
will
accuse
a
friend
,
and
fearing
enemies
,
make
an
enemy
:
Wisedome
knowes
Trust
ought
heere
to
be
applied
,
and
makes
Suspition
iealous
of
loosing
him
,
not
loosing
him
by
Suspition
:
Certainly
though
it
tastes
of
the
grossenes
of
the
parents
,
yet
it
is
refined
,
beeing
a
knowledge
forced
out
of
ignorance
,
and
not
like
the
mother
distracted
,
but
auoyding
daunger
:
more
subtil
,
for
feare
vnderstandes
nothing
that
lookes
not
terribly
,
and
frownes
not
:
Suspition
out
of
smiles
,
and
courtesies
,
can
picke
dangers
,
and
Distrust
venome
out
of
sugar
:
but
thus
if
not
gouerned
she
wil
go
too
farre
,
and
starue
her selfe
with
suspecting
all
thinges
daungerous
:
but
Wisedome
applies
it selfe
to
the
place
,
and
time
,
and
out
of
them
frames
the
allowance
,
or
disallowance
of
Suspition
.
One
thing
makes
mee
thinke
it
not
so
naturally
ours
,
seeing
it
seldome
lights
vpon
things
not
precious
in
estimation
,
as
among
poore
men
iealousie
of
their
wiues
:
but
no
where
so
conuersant
&
powerful
,
as
among
Princes
,
vnto
whom
to
say
rightly
,
it
rightly
belongs
:
for
how
soeuer
they
are
,
they
haue
enemies
:
If
good
,
enuious
:
If
euil
,
some
that
lay
holde
vpon
that
occasion
:
Yea
,
euen
their
friends
are
doubtfull
,
not
beeing
easily
to
bee
discerned
whether
louers
of
them
,
or
of
their
fortunes
.
Here
it
showes
it selfe
in
diuers
formes
,
It
made
the
cruell
Tiberius
looke
vertuously
,
Occultus
ac
subdolus
fingendis
virtutibus
donec
Germanicus
,
ac
Drusus
superfuerint
.
It
made
Galba
Idle
,
when
liuing
vnder
the
tyrannie
of
Nero
,
Nemo
rationem
otij
sui
reddere
cogeretur
.
Claudius
had
it
in
that
extremitie
that
it
turned
into
feare
,
and
basenesse
,
Quasdam
Insidias
temere
delatas
adeo
expauit
,
vt
deponere
imperium
cogeretur
.
It
is
seldome
wanton
,
or
pittifull
,
the
nexte
turne
among
them
is
into
bloud
,
and
death
,
and
not
without
reason
:
Vppon
this
state
dependes
the
common
good
;
the
preseruation
of
which
,
restes
much
in
Suspition
:
for
before
the
maiestie
of
a
Prince
none
will
come
not
adorned
with
an
outside
looking
honestie
.
Of
the
best
deserts
there
ought
to
be
the
greatest
care
,
Niuno
piú
facilmente
inganna
gli
altri
,
●he
chi
é
solito
,
&
ha
fama
di
mai
non
gli
ingannare
:
So
is
there
no
way
left
him
to
vnmaske
dissembled
faces
but
Suspition
;
which
though
it
sometimes
erre
,
yet
more
often
it
is
a
true
Kalender
of
the
seasons
,
of
the
tempestes
,
and
dangers
.
Among
these
States
,
Suspition
and
Dissimulation
are
to
be
allowed
,
as
beeing
the
Handmaydes
of
Pollicie
,
they
ought
to
be
conuersant
among
them
,
not
to
offend
,
but
to
defend
:
not
in
respect
they
are
men
,
but
in
regard
they
are
princes
,
whose
liues
trauel
among
dangers
,
&
therfore
ought
warily
to
keepe
this
case
of
Pistols
continually
readie
charged
,
and
bent
?
but
downwards
they
are
not
to
be
allowed
,
not
dissimulation
at
all
,
for
in
a
priuate
Fortune
it
is
a
fearefull
basenesse
,
and
a
cowardly
shift
:
neither
will
Suspition
then
serue
to
looke
vpon
our
own
liues
,
to
obserue
whether
we
goe
backward
or
forward
in
Vertue
:
for
we
haue
neither
poysons
,
nor
any
other
kind
of
treasons
among
vs
:
our
enemies
are
more
open
,
and
touch
vs
slightly
,
and
yet
so
plainly
,
as
without
the
spectacles
of
Suspition
we
may
see
them
.
Thus
are
things
different
in
name
and
nature
,
according
to
the
possessor
:
and
as
Princes
and
priuate
men
differ
in
the
outward
magnificence
,
so
in
their
inward
mindes
.
To
a
lowe
fortune
belongs
simply
the
vse
of
Vertue
,
In
the
other
she
must
be
often
chaunged
,
not
into
vice
,
but
not
to
looke
alwayes
like
Vertue
:
their
Operation
must
meete
,
but
their
preparing
must
differ
;
the
one
hauing
to
deale
but
with
himselfe
,
may
goe
on
directly
;
but
the
other
conuersant
with
multitudes
,
must
sometime
goe
about
,
&
seek
out
by-wayes
,
which
action
in
him
may
bee
vertuous
,
though
in
the
other
it
would
bee
termed
dishonest
.

5.
Of
Loue
.
IT
is
a
pretty
soft
thing
this
same
Loue
,
an
excellent
company
keeper
,
full
of
gentlenesse
,
and
affabilitie
,
makes
men
fine
,
and
to
go
cleanly
,
teacheth
them
quallities
,
handsome
protestations
,
and
if
the
ground
be
not
too
barren
,
it
bringeth
forth
Rimes
,
and
Songs
full
of
passion
,
enough
to
procure
crossed
armes
,
and
the
Hat
pulled
downe
:
yea
,
it
is
a
very
fine
thing
,
the
badge
of
eighteene
,
and
vpward
,
not
to
be
disallowed
;
better
spend
time
so
then
at
Dice
.
I
am
content
to
cal
this
Loue
,
though
I
hold
Loue
too
worthy
a
Cement
to
ioyne
earth
to
earth
,
the
one
part
must
be
celestiall
,
or
else
it
is
not
Loue
.
I
hope
I
shall
not
offend
Diuinitie
,
if
I
say
the
coniunction
of
man
and
wife
,
is
not
Loue
;
It
is
an
allowance
of
Gods
,
and
so
good
:
and
the
name
of
it
,
I
thinke
,
two
honest
Affections
vnited
into
one
.
If
this
bee
so
,
what
becomes
of
all
the
rest
,
which
are
counterfaites
,
and
yet
begge
vnder
●he
passe-port
of
Loue
?
Loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
,
that
which
comes
nearest
to
Loue
is
this
,
man
with
man
agreeing
in
sexe
:
I
cannot
thinke
it
is
so
betweene
man
and
woman
,
for
it
giues
opportunitie
to
lust
,
which
the
purenesse
of
Loue
will
not
endure
.
Among
all
Affections
that
of
Socrates
was
the
best
,
who
sought
●o
better
the
mindes
of
his
familiars
,
and
loued
a
good
●it
,
and
inclinations
to
good
,
and
sought
to
confirme
them
in
that
.
I
laugh
,
and
wonder
,
at
the
straunge
occasions
that
men
take
●ow
a
dayes
to
say
they
loue
:
If
they
meete
with
a
fellowe
●r
a
Feaste
,
or
in
a
Potte
,
If
their
Delightes
bee
anye
thing
●
Kinne
,
or
theyr
Faces
anye
thing
alike
;
If
their
Countries
be
one
,
or
their
landes
neare
adioyning
;
If
they
be
both
rich
,
or
both
poore
,
or
indeed
if
their
new-fangled
inuentions
can
finde
out
any
occasion
,
they
are
sworn
brothers
,
they
will
liue
,
and
dye
together
but
they
scarce
sleep
in
this
mind
,
the
one
comes
to
make
vse
of
the
other
,
and
that
spoyles
all
;
he
entered
this
league
not
to
impaire
,
but
to
profit
himselfe
.
I
can
compare
prosperitie
to
nothing
so
rightly
,
as
to
the
promising
plenteous
fields
of
the
Egiptians
,
which
were
deuoured
by
the
numberlesse
troupes
of
Flyes
:
You
cannot
haue
the
one
without
the
other
:
Flatterers
deuour
the
Inheritance
of
Fortune
,
who
while
she
hath
no
need
of
them
,
looke
like
Bees
that
will
not
be
vnprofitable
,
but
be
once
driuen
,
let
Pouertie
be
your
Arithmetician
,
you
shall
then
see
they
brought
nothing
to
your
stocke
,
but
fed
vpon
it
,
and
then
you
shall
easily
discerne
them
to
be
Drones
.
There
is
no
Loue
vpon
the
earth
,
God
loueth
vs
vndeseruedly
,
and
some
good
men
loue
and
feare
him
:
It
is
Loue
from
this
last
because
God
is
a
partie
,
or
else
it
might
be
affection
,
not
possibly
Loue
.
Loue
is
diuine
,
and
eternall
;
Affection
like
our
flesh
,
momentary
,
and
mortal
.
If
I
could
be
sure
of
them
,
I
would
say
I
loued
too
,
and
make
men
say
they
are
my
friends
:
but
it
is
an
vncertain
trade
this
louing
,
and
stands
vpon
such
a
company
of
circumstances
,
as
I
like
it
not
.
I
make
no
difference
betweene
common
louers
,
and
common
whores
,
they
both
flatter
,
and
make
the
name
of
Loue
their
Bawdes
to
serue
their
particular
pleasures
.
For
my
choyse
of
friends
,
vertue
shal
be
the
ground-worke
,
and
so
I
may
build
surely
.
Let
his
fortunes
be
what
they
wil
,
I
care
not
,
yet
if
I
might
choose
,
I
would
haue
him
poore
,
for
so
I
might
easiest
shewe
my
affection
to
him
,
and
profit
my selfe
by
him
with
least
cost
:
for
I
hold
obseruation
much
more
precious
then
wealth
,
and
I
will
rather
giue
him
my
purse
then
my
Time
.
Essay

6.
Of
Friendship
&
Factions
.
SInce
the
necessitie
of
our
infirmities
hath
added
this
curse
among
the
rest
,
that
it
cannot
enioy
a
peacefull
amitie
,
it
is
necessary
that
wee
prouide
our selues
of
an
Antidote
against
this
poison
:
since
our
loue
wil
not
,
or
cannot
be
vniuersall
,
let
vs
make
it
happie
in
the
particularitie
,
and
loue
well
what
is
well
worthy
to
be
beloued
.
Vnder
this
name
of
Friendship
,
which
name
commonly
to
our
vnderstandings
,
is
the
messenger
of
Peace
,
is
included
much
daunger
:
for
to
leaue
a
friend
,
testifies
either
inconstancie
,
or
treacherie
:
and
to
be
constant
is
not
without
perill
:
In
the
choise
rests
some
apparence
of
safetie
.
In
this
choise
there
ought
to
be
much
vigilancie
,
for
vntill
the
marriage
of
loue
,
hath
coupled
paires
,
wise
natures
are
timerous
in
dilating
themselues
:
and
after
that
celebration
,
it
is
irreligious
to
diuorce
a
friend
thogh
guiltie
of
many
deformities
.
Yet
must
we
not
entertaine
the
humor
of
neutrallitie
,
for
La
neutralit
á
non
assicura
da
nimici
,
e
questa
non
conserua
gli
Amici
.
No
,
from
the
vtmost
happines
of
man
to
his
basest
contentment
,
it
is
not
tollerable
,
neither
Religion
,
nor
nature
,
allowes
it
:
we
must
then
choose
,
we
are
compelled
to
choose
:
but
here
is
diuersitie
,
the
choise
of
a
great
man
differs
from
a
priuat
man
;
the
choise
of
a
friend
,
from
that
of
a
faction
.
It
is
for
a
meane
fortune
to
thinke
of
such
as
are
able
to
better
his
minde
,
for
a
greater
,
of
such
whose
strengths
are
able
to
vphold
his
fortune
.
In
friendship
I
wil
regard
Vertue
,
In
factions
power
:
vnder
this
olde
sentence
,
Simile
simili
gaudet
,
there
was
once
much
certainty
,
but
now
pollicy
can
put
on
all
shapes
,
so
that
the
Wolfe
and
the
Lambe
are
hardly
to
be
distinguished
,
either
by
their
habit
,
words
,
or
actions
.
It
is
lesse
difficult
for
persons
in
indifferent
estates
to
make
theyr
choise
,
then
for
great
men
,
yet
only
safe
to
pouertie
,
for
there
hee
must
be
in
loue
with
himselfe
,
or
nothing
.
Wel
as
I
am
,
let
him
pace
by
me
often
,
and
(
as
Hunters
do
)
let
me
see
how
hee
behaues
himselfe
,
hot
and
colde
:
let
me
see
his
motions
in
anger
,
heare
his
opinion
of
all
things
,
try
him
with
me
,
and
against
me
,
whether
he
loues
what
I
loue
,
what
he
holds
indifferently
,
what
vehemently
:
If
he
fits
you
,
obserue
then
whether
he
comes
faster
to
you
,
then
you
to
him
;
If
hee
be
very
forward
beware
;
for
either
hee
is
a
common
friend
,
and
so
no
friend
,
or
else
hee
meanes
to
betray
you
:
they
are
surest
that
are
wonne
with
labour
,
and
certainest
that
are
purchased
with
difficultie
:
for
an
open
prostitute
man
,
or
woman
,
is
loathsome
,
and
flexible
.
Your
friends
estate
is
to
bee
reckoned
among
your
cares
,
for
if
he
be
too
lowe
,
he
will
haue
occasion
to
vse
you
too
often
,
and
his
barenesse
promiseth
litle
helpe
:
If
the
vertues
of
his
pouertie
be
worthy
to
be
knowne
bee
his
acquaintance
,
not
friend
,
so
doth
your
liberalitie
come
voluntarily
from
you
,
and
not
exacted
,
and
lesse
serues
in
chari●ie
than
when
it
is
commanded
by
friendship
.
That
part
of
Friendship
which
commaunds
secrets
I
would
not
haue
deliuered
too
soone
,
this
is
the
precioussest
thing
you
can
giue
him
,
for
thereby
you
make
your selfe
his
prisoner
,
vntill
his
Aduise
,
or
assistance
requires
it
,
he
should
not
haue
them
,
for
it
may
be
his
honestie
would
keepe
them
,
but
his
tongue
cannot
:
feate
or
corruption
doth
much
with
men
,
especially
when
the
discouery
endaungers
not
his
owne
body
.
Our
respect
here
must
be
much
,
for
our
thoughts
in
other
cases
may
for
our
safetie
lawfully
bee
mingled
with
the
poison
of
suspition
,
but
in
friendship
,
nothing
but
friendship
,
and
opennesse
.
It
is
daungerous
if
we
enioy
a
friend
much
our
superiou●
to
doo
him
Offices
not
easily
requited
,
such
impossibilities
make
him
desperate
,
and
desirous
to
cancell
that
Obligation
with
some
Action
,
that
you
shall
not
afterwards
be
able
to
complaine
of
his
Ingratitude
.
To
these
I
would
performe
duties
,
rather
giuing
assurance
of
fidelitie
,
than
of
themselues
Assurance
.
For
Princes
,
or
great
fortunes
I
think
it
much
more
vnsafe
,
since
they
cannot
easily
determine
,
whether
they
loue
them
,
or
their
fortunes
,
whether
this
league
be
entered
for
a
mutuall
safegard
,
or
for
the
ones
particular
,
and
it
is
the
more
daungerous
,
since
the
name
of
a
common
good
authoriseth
this
breach
.
Among
these
;
if
there
be
equalnesse
,
the
more
benefites
the
one
part
pulls
from
another
,
the
mo●●
safetie
the
receiuer
is
in
,
for
they
wil
be
carefull
of
him
,
because
part
of
themselues
is
in
him
,
and
not
deny
to
doo
for
feare
of
loosing
what
is
done
.
Sertorius
the
Romane
,
saued
his
life
with
being
indebted
to
his
Captains
:
and
many
States
at
this
day
,
holde
other
their
friends
not
for
loue
,
but
for
feare
of
losse
,
i●
being
an
Hostage
of
most
securitie
.
Alliance
among
these
doth
much
,
for
the
mingeling
they●
blood
with
others
of
power
,
makes
them
strong
,
when
theirs
cannot
be
shead
alone
,
but
others
are
in
the
like
daunger
of
losse
.
Thus
much
for
the
head
:
but
heads
can
plot
,
not
execute
,
and
therefore
they
must
haue
meaner
fortune●
tyed
to
them
.
Generally
beware
of
imparting
too
much
to
these
,
for
though
you
were
before
a
lord
,
you
become
now
a
seruant
,
specially
if
the
secrets
were
of
such
importance
as
may
promise
a
more
liberal
entertainment
among
your
enemies
.
They
are
many
Instruments
that
come
vnder
the
vse
of
Greatnesse
:
If
himselfe
be
wise
,
hee
needes
not
entertaine
many
wise
;
and
those
fewe
where
they
may
do
good
farre
off
:
for
wit
is
a
searcher
,
and
ransackes
euery
corner
,
somewhat
too
much
,
for
it
is
good
,
going
inuisibly
sometime
.
'
The
nearest
I
would
haue
naturally
simple
,
honest
men
Appendices
farther
off
that
attribute
so
much
to
my
knowledge
,
as
to
performe
not
to
examine
my
commaundements
:
some
for
their
Alliance
,
others
for
valour
,
a
fewe
for
discretion
:
some
ambitious
,
for
that
's
quallitie
that
great
matters
may
be
wrought
out
of
:
lastly
som
honest
,
some
dishonest
:
Poysons
are
as
necessary
as
holesome
Simples
,
if
they
be
in
a
hand
able
to
prepare
them
.
Since
Diuinations
among
men
are
vncertaine
,
if
Factions
be
so
equally
peised
,
as
it
is
hard
to
determine
which
side
wil
be
victorious
,
to
remaine
wooed
by
both
partes
before
wonne
by
any
,
is
wisedome
.
Shall
it
bee
obiected
to
mee
,
that
the
respect
of
right
ought
carry
mee
?
I
thinke
so
too
,
if
my
power
might
giue
Right
the
vpper
hande
;
but
I
doo
wrong
to
sinke
with
Right
,
for
so
Right
looseth
a
Champion
:
and
headlong
to
runne
into
mischiefe
is
not
zeale
,
but
desperation
.
Heere
must
be
obserued
howe
you
stand
to
both
factions
,
whether
allied
,
or
more
beholding
to
one
then
the
other
,
for
if
tyed
by
any
of
these
respects
to
the
weakest
,
the
strongest
will
be
iealous
,
and
then
of
force
you
must
bee
a
colde
enemy
,
for
you
must
not
think
to
be
entertained
as
a
friend
.
Beware
of
entring
into
any
,
where
there
may
be
hope
of
reconciliation
,
for
that
is
commonly
wrought
by
the
deathes
of
the
meaner
parties
:
So
was
it
betweene
Tigranes
,
and
Mithridates
,
they
were
both
holden
innocent
,
&
their
seruants
to
make
them
innocent
found
guilty
.
The
like
in
the
time
of
the
Triumuiri
,
where
the
seale
of
their
concord
was
the
deliuering
the
seuerall
vpholders
of
theyr
Factions
one
to
another
.
To
conclude
,
speaking
of
this
,
euery
way
appeares
danger
:
but
since
necessitie
inforceth
,
let
circumspection
arme
necessity
:
the
friends
of
a
priuat
fortune
are
lesse
daungerous
:
in
greater
there
is
more
gaine
,
and
so
more
losse
:
Hee
that
stands
without
stands
naked
,
and
subiect
to
euery
storme
,
who
vnder-propped
,
so
long
safe
,
but
no
sooner
loosened
,
but
ruined
.
Too
much
suspition
begets
treachery
;
an
obstinate
beliefe
,
is
daungerous
folly
.

Essay

7.
Of
Aemulation
.
I
Doo
not
thinke
there
are
any
acquainted
with
enuy
,
but
some
old
withered
foolish
creatures
,
who
we
say
haunt
our
Beer-fattes
,
and
our
Cattell
,
such
as
we
call
witches
,
but
with
Aemulation
the
refined
issue
of
Enuy
,
euery
one
is
acquainted
:
yea
the
most
noble
spirites
are
most
familiar
with
it
,
and
they
do
well
.
I
loue
not
Socrates
,
nor
Caesar
,
nor
none
of
these
auncient
glorious
ones
so
well
(
in
plainnesse
I
speake
it
)
but
I
could
be
content
their
good
Sayings
,
or
good
Actions
were
mine
.
I
would
haue
them
willingly
with
the
appurtenances
,
and
with
the
paines
,
and
cost
they
were
purchased
with
:
but
since
I
cannot
haue
them
so
,
I
will
take
patterne
by
their
example
:
I
will
liue
temperately
,
and
loue
valour
to
atchieue
the
like
Ornaments
.
Doo
you
not
thinke
Aemulation
doth
handsomely
here
?
yes
,
yes
,
without
question
shee
is
the
very
spirit
of
whatsoeuer
rastes
well
.
When
we
begin
to
liue
,
we
are
naturally
giuen
to
followe
what
wee
know
,
and
so
wee
liue
vanquished
by
pleasure
,
vntill
Aduise
or
Discourse
tells
vs
the
way
of
Vertue
,
and
commends
it
;
and
at
that
time
we
onely
apprehend
the
commendations
,
and
would
faine
procure
the
like
:
thus
is
Aemulation
the
baite
of
Vertue
,
for
looking
into
the
sweetnesse
of
the
reward
,
we
vndertake
the
labour
.
Behold
the
power
of
Vertue
,
euen
they
that
dwell
not
with
her
,
but
speak
of
her
,
it
makes
their
speech
gracefull
.
I
remember
the
time
when
I
my selfe
was
thus
caught
:
I
heard
the
report
of
the
vertuous
,
and
presently
I
emulated
the
Discoursers
good
deliuery
,
and
began
to
get
his
Tale
by
heart
:
but
vpon
the
repetition
I
began
to
thinke
,
if
speaking
well
were
so
gratious
,
how
excellent
would
it
be
to
doo
well
?
thus
the
aemulation
of
good
wordes
,
begot
the
aemulation
of
good
deeds
;
which
one
day
may
come
to
the
ripening
&
to
the
effecting
of
worthy
matters
.
Come
then
,
put
away
your
rustie
tradition
,
all
you
that
thinke
not
thus
:
banish
not
Aemulation
,
except
you
determine
to
haue
all
your
yong
men
vnthrifts
of
their
time
,
for
thus
youth
must
be
entered
:
marry
for
age
,
Time
hath
brought
them
nearer
their
graues
,
&
therefore
let
them
a
Gods
name
,
loue
Vertue
for
her
own
sake
:
let
them
define
Vertue
,
and
her
reward
inuisibly
:
but
those
that
are
now
in
the
quickest
of
her
sensibilitie
,
must
see
her
in
a
bodie
sensible
,
or
they
will
not
know
her
.
Parents
thus
wrap
your
Aduises
,
for
I
neuer
beleeued
any
aduise
of
mine
,
vntill
the
application
of
their
speech
came
to
persons
knowne
,
and
so
quickened
me

Of
Praise
and
Glory
.
TO
the
thing
so
ful
of
perfection
as
nothing
can
be
added
Glory
must
bee
attributed
,
for
it
is
a
title
onely
due
to
the
extreame
point
of
all
perfection
,
to
things
acknowledging
an
original
Praise
:
Glory
goeth
vpward
,
and
is
the
Attribute
to
God
;
Praise
the
reward
of
men
reckons
downward
,
chalenging
nothing
respecting
his
worthines
,
but
that
there
are
worse
,
and
so
much
goodnesse
is
allowed
him
,
as
to
ouercome
ill
in
comparison
:
we
must
giue
Glory
then
,
not
vsurpe
it
,
but
Praise
i●
alowed
vs
,
and
we
may
safely
loue
it
for
Vertues
sake
,
to
whom
it
is
so
nearly
ioyned
;
as
to
contemne
it
,
shewes
a
mind
either
stupified
,
or
shamelesse
.
We
that
are
left
beggers
by
our
first
Fathers
vnthriftinesse
,
haue
onely
a
possibilitie
to
recouer
left
vs
:
wherfore
Vertue
comes
hardly
to
vs
with
difficultie
&
paines
;
neither
will
our
pouertie
permit
vs
to
be
content
with
reuersions
,
and
to
possesse
the
reward
of
our
trauailes
after
our
decease
:
and
therfore
God
hath
giuen
vs
vpon
deserts
,
the
liuelihood
of
praise
,
and
after
death
,
the
recouery
of
our
first
rich
inheritance
:
so
that
Vertue
hath
praise
here
,
and
Aeternitie
heereafter
.
This
praise
must
be
deriued
from
Vertue
,
for
we
must
loue
deserts
as
well
as
rewards
,
or
else
our
mindes
are
mercenary
.
The
respect
must
onely
be
to
Vertue
,
which
obtained
,
the
rest
are
obtained
;
without
which
,
to
snatch
at
praise
is
vaine-glory
,
at
heauen
,
presumption
.
Accidents
cannot
stand
without
a
substance
,
neither
haue
these
seperated
any
Essence
,
but
are
rather
names
then
things
:
Vertue
must
beget
them
,
for
without
her
they
are
not
.
Let
vs
see
Vertue
them
,
and
afterwards
Praise
:
what
comes
within
the
circuite
of
our
thoughts
or
deedes
may
be
adorned
with
Vertue
:
to
thinke
wel
constantly
is
vertuous
,
and
vertue
giues
it
praise
:
for
deeds
are
begotten
by
thoughts
,
&
good
deeds
without
good
thoughts
are
not
.
In
things
indifferent
a
gracious
Ornament
onely
is
obtained
:
Thus
are
our
Habits
,
and
part
of
our
Behauiour
,
which
depend
vpon
occasion
,
and
are
either
gracefull
,
or
disgracefull
,
according
to
time
,
and
place
.
Curtesie
,
liberalitie
,
gentlenesse
,
and
such
like
are
outward
vertues
,
and
termed
the
parts
of
a
winning
behauiour
:
good
they
are
,
not
to
be
missed
,
but
yet
not
the
end
of
the
desire
of
Vertue
.
But
shewing
our
chiefest
treasure
,
wee
must
bring
forth
Temperance
,
Fortitude
,
and
Patience
:
so
ample
is
the
scope
of
these
perfections
,
as
what
else
in
moralitie
may
be
named
,
comes
within
the
compasse
of
their
Dominion
.
Temperance
is
the
hardest
lesson
,
so
contrary
it
is
to
our
Appetites
,
so
seldome
vanquished
:
but
this
difficulty
is
rewarded
with
the
most
resplendent
shining
of
all
:
for
Fortitude
carries
safetie
with
it
,
and
present
commendations
:
Patience
often
proceeds
not
from
the
rebutting
choller
,
but
from
a
coldnesse
of
constitution
:
but
to
possesse
Temperance
,
there
is
no
Temperature
helpeth
,
for
none
are
so
weake
,
as
to
want
abilitie
to
maintaine
Desires
,
and
Affections
:
none
so
defining
Fortitude
,
as
the
pleasing
their
sensuall
appetites
,
shal
be
called
cowardise
:
It
is
a
concealed
victory
,
therefore
not
so
neare
a
neighbour
to
commendation
:
no
nothing
can
chalenge
part
of
his
conquestes
,
for
all
Tempers
,
all
strengthes
,
all
bodies
haue
affections
,
therefore
to
this
belongs
the
title
of
supereminency
.
Fabritius
pouertie
as
he
vsed
it
,
was
fuller
of
Greatnesse
,
and
Splendor
,
then
Riches
,
or
any
purchase
of
Riches
:
the
Giuers
liberalitie
was
nothing
so
magnificent
as
the
refusers
temperance
.
A
follower
of
Alexanders
,
denies
the
wading
through
a
deepe
carowse
,
for
feare
of
needing
Aesculapius
:
So
is
it
with
all
intemperancy
,
which
is
most
needy
,
when
most
full
.
We
loue
libertie
,
and
yet
loue
Intemperancy
,
which
is
a
slaue
euer
hungry
,
and
asking
assistance
.
Diogenes
at
a
Faire
full
of
those
things
which
Curio●itie
,
&
Housholders
call
necessaries
,
proclaimes
his
abundance
such
,
as
not
to
haue
need
of
any
of
those
things
:
the
riches
of
his
minde
was
so
full
,
as
it
could
take
no
addition
of
contentment
from
those
outward
gawdie
trash
:
how
rich
was
this
fellow
in
a
Tub
,
ouer
the
most
worldly
rich
,
that
with
riches
,
are
haunted
with
humorous
,
and
licorous
appetites
?
Fortitudes
circuit
is
more
limited
,
her
strength
beeing
destinated
to
be
conuersant
with
daungers
;
how
like
this
Vertue
lookes
to
Temperance
,
since
Feare
is
naturally
the
Companion
of
Daunger
,
but
Fortitude
abstaines
,
and
in
this
Abstinence
resembles
Temperance
:
what
armour
can
promise
mortallitie
more
safetie
then
this
,
which
beating
back
Feare
,
looseth
nothing
with
ouersight
?
and
if
it
must
be
death
,
Vn
bel
morir
tuttala

honora
.
I
know
not
how
I
shal
entertain
this
closing
point
of
our
Actions
,
because
all
things
not
past
are
among
vs
vncertaine
,
but
I
hope
well
of
my selfe
,
so
much
I
loath
an
effeminate
bewailing
,
which
hath
taken
away
all
pittie
from
mee
to
see
men
so
foolishly
compassionate
of
themselues
.
Socrates
saith
Feare
would
faine
seeme
wise
,
taking
knowledge
of
what
she
neuer
knew
.
Me
thinks
for
anguishes
,
and
paines
,
Marius
should
strengthen
the
backe
of
our
resistance
,
when
vpon
some
disease
of
his
legges
,
without
frowning
or
crying
,
or
being
bound
to
any
thing
but
wisedome
,
he
suffered
the
Surgion
to
search
,
and
cut
,
and
mangle
,
&
cauterize
the
vaines
of
his
legge
:
he
would
haue
serued
the
other
legge
so
,
but
that
hee
thought
the
disease
not
worth
the
curing
:
Thus
expressed
hee
his
paine
,
and
yet
seemed
not
touched
with
paine
:
It
was
a
pretie
triall
,
and
he
that
vpon
the
like
,
cannot
perswade
Magnanimitie
to
resist
weeping
,
let
him
obscure
himselfe
,
and
make
account
to
doo
nothing
but
preuent
paine
,
and
resist
infirmities
with
Phisicke
.
When
Fortitude
feeles
oppression
,
and
an
impossibilitie
of
being
victorious
,
to
eschew
rashnesse
,
desperation
,
and
fury
,
he
turneth
to
Patience
,
which
defends
him
from
beeing
ouercome
though
vanquished
.
No
Fort
can
compare
with
the
strength
of
this
,
which
suffering
makes
affliction
angry
,
rather
then
himself
to
be
moued
.
Nothing
here
is
comparable
to
the
vnmoued
disposition
wrought
by
Reason
.
The
earth
stands
necessited
because
it
cannot
go
,
things
vnsensible
because
vnsensible
,
but
to
haue
the
feeling
of
calamities
,
to
bee
shaken
with
the
winds
&
tempests
of
Chaunce
,
and
mortalitie
,
and
yet
not
to
be
loosened
,
nor
in
danger
of
falling
,
is
the
most
bewtiful
,
the
most
happie
,
and
the
most
renowmed
happinesse
of
man
,
so
full
of
perfection
,
as
drawing
liking
to
that
extreame
pitch
,
as
it
ends
with
Admiration
.
Who
enioyes
this
Vertue
really
(
for
there
are
counterfaits
resembling
it
)
hath
the
precioussest
Iewell
of
the
world
:
the
vertue
of
stones
expelling
poison
,
skins
,
bewitchings
,
and
thunder-claps
,
hearbes
,
spelles
,
and
Incantations
,
are
not
comparable
,
they
are
poore
in
vertues
,
and
perhaps
estimation
in
spight
of
them
giues
them
qualities
:
&
though
they
haue
them
,
it
is
commonly
but
one
:
but
Patience
resists
poysons
,
bewitchings
,
thunderbolts
,
spelles
,
Incantations
,
&
all
calamities
wherto
our
life
is
subiect
.
Tradition
saith
some
things
wil
foretoken
a
mishap
,
and
breake
before
the
euent
:
but
Patience
in
the
midst
of
Calamities
breakes
not
,
no
nor
crackes
.
The
attribute
of
these
outward
Iewels
of
estimation
,
if
we
receiue
good
by
them
,
must
goe
to
them
:
but
all
these
blessings
light
vpon
our selues
:
we
haue
not
onely
the
happines
of
safetie
,
but
the
sweetnesse
of
not
receiuing
it
from
another
.
Lastly
,
no
casualtie
can
depriue
vs
of
it
,
for
wee
loose
our selues
if
it
:
nor
can
we
be
vanquished
with
missing
it
,
since
he
parts
from
himselfe
that
wants
it
.
Al
these
blessings
are
the
trapers
of
the
furniture
of
Patience
,
which
no
power
,
no
strength
,
no
authoritie
can
make
recreant
.
Then
Praise
bring
the
Garland
of
Victory
,
the
Chariot
of
Triumph
to
adorne
this
Conquerour
,
and
Fame
out
of
the
mouth
of
Enuy
hale
commendations
,
and
praises
:
who
denies
the
attendance
of
his
tongue
vppon
this
Trophee
,
let
him
be
cursed
with
being
not
capable
of
Vertue
.
Thus
Patience
,
thus
Fortitude
,
thus
Temperance
,
if
Temperance
,
if
Fortitude
,
if
Patience
be
vnited
,
one
is
not
enough
,
nor
two
,
the
consorting
Harmony
is
not
full
enough
:
besides
wanting
one
,
the
contrary
not
wanting
,
duskes
all
with
counteruailing
vices
:
but
to
be
compleate
,
is
to
haue
all
,
from
which
though
we
sometimes
slide
,
let
not
that
discourage
vs
,
but
vp
againe
,
and
happily
with
being
ouercome
,
we
may
learne
to
ouercome
,
which
yeelds
the
contentment
of
being
victorious
:
Victory
brings
forth
Praise
,
and
Praise
ends
with
Eternitie
;
Eternitie
to
our
name
,
and
to
our
soules
.
Praise
is
the
breath
of
Fame
,
which
if
ouercome
by
Time
,
Eternitie
reuengeth
,
&
ouercommeth
Time
,
and
in
despight
of
his
worme-eaten
consumption
liues
in
our
best
part
,
our
diuinest
in

full
of
ioy

and
knowing
no

of
ioy

carried
to
the

of
blisse

Of
Entertainment
.
THere
are
but
two
causes
that
pull
on
Ghests
,
Loue
,
&
Businesse
:
I
must
in
good
nature
make
much
of
the
former
,
and
the
latter
,
necessitie
inforceth
me
to
entertaine
:
but
I
like
not
to
dwell
vpon
these
.
A
short
time
may
satisfie
visitation
,
and
busines
not
hindred
by
complement
cannot
last
long
.
Mee
thinkes
I
should
haue
done
now
:
It
is
tedious
to
meete
with
a
fellow
that
will
stay
to
day
,
and
tomorrow
,
and
the
next
day
,
on
purpose
to
say
he
loueth
.
If
he
feare
my
memory
,
that
he
thus
reiterateth
Loue
,
let
him
giue
me
some
token
of
remembrance
:
this
tarrying
perswades
me
rather
the
contrary
,
hee
is
my
enemy
that
thus
eates
vp
my
meate
,
and
Time
,
without
any
cause
that
perswadeth
his
stay
.
Truly
the
name
of
a
good
fellow
is
so
deare
a
title
,
that
I
had
rather
traffick
with
courser
stuffe
,
and
be
called
parsimonious
,
yea
miserable
if
they
will
;
It
smartes
not
halfe
so
ill
as
the
phrase
,
Euery
Bodies
friend
but
his
owne
.
I
knowe
some
whom
modestie
restraineth
from
telling
Impudency
theyr
faultes
:
Alas
good
Vertue
,
that
thou
art
growne
a
coward
,
and
darest
not
discouer
thy selfe
.
Well
,
I
haue
a
medicine
for
these
people
,
I
will
not
be
consumed
liuing
by
these
wormes
:
what
's
your
pleasure
?
this
is
my
answere
,
farewell
.
These
wordes
haue
an
excellent
vertue
in
them
,
they
deliuer
you
to
Solitarinesse
,
the
mother
of
Contemplation
,
they
keepe
your
house
sweete
,
and
at
dinner
if
you
like
a
dish
,
it
is
your
owne
faulte
if
you
haue
it
not
cold
.
When
my
occasions
grow
so
desperatly
mad
,
as
in
despight
of
me
they
will
hale
me
abroad
into
throngs
,
and
great
assemblies
,
he
that
entertains
me
,
I
will
him
,
speake
to
all
,
reserue
a
straunge
familiaritie
for
the
best
,
and
my
good
word
,
and
courtesie
generally
.
I
haue
knowne
some
affecting
Courtesie
ouerthrowe
their
labours
,
with
not
hauing
choyse
of
Complements
,
but
confounding
a
Gentleman
,
and
a
Peasant
,
with
the
likenesse
of
salutation
,
and
farewell
:
they
were
too
blame
to
set
vp
shop
so
ill
furnished
.
As
men
differ
,
so
must
their
vsages
,
and
respectes
,
not
to
all
,
I
am
the
seruaunt
of
your
seruaunts
seruant
.
In
truth
I
am
naturally
kind
,
and
pittiful
,
and
would
gladly
giue
euery
man
a
testimony
,
that
I
neither
hate
,
nor
contemne
them
.
I
will
speake
,
and
pittie
,
and
lament
with
all
,
and
to
some
giue
my
time
without
a
fee
,
but
not
destroy
my selfe
for
their
sakes
:
they
are
no
Gods
,
I
need
not
sacrifice
my selfe
,
there
is
crueltie
in
this
courtesie
,
I
must
not
do
thus
:
marry
any
kindnesse
that
shortens
not
in
the
spending
,
that
makes
not
the
purse
empty
,
and
the
houshold-booke
rich
in
Items
,
I
am
readie
to
be
their
Hoste
,
and
to
entertaine
all
:
but
to
keepe
open
house
vntil
I
shall
be
compelled
to
shut
vp
my
doores
,
must
be
pardoned
mee
.
I
haue
a
purse
,
and
a
life
,
and
all
that
I
am
for
some
fewe
;
but
they
are
indeed
but
a
fewe

Of
Ambition
.
WE
are
all
in
darkenesse
,
the
Sunne
,
and
our
eyes
helpe
vs
not
:
for
we
see
by
them
,
trees
,
and
woods
,
mountaines
,
and
men
,
but
the
light
of
reason
is
clowded
:
so
doth
our
discerning
but
beget
Opinion
,
&
when
we
haue
said
we
think
thus
,
our
knowledge
is
at
the
farthest
.
My
steps
are
the
steps
of
mortallity
,
&
I
do
stumble
and
stagger
for
company
,
and
crawle
rather
then
goe
;
yet
I
desire
to
get
further
,
and
to
discouer
the
land
of
light
.
To
this
end
I
reade
&
write
,
and
by
them
would
faine
catch
an
vnderstanding
more
than
I
broght
with
mee
,
before
decrepitenesse
and
death
catch
me
.
Cicero
exacteth
an
extraordinary
knowledge
from

of

thinkes
more
shuld

I
am
now
come
from
conuersing
with
Princes
,
great
spirits
,
and
high
fliers
,
History
hath
possessed
mee
last
,
a
knowledge
meetest
for
vs
,
since
most
of
the
rest
are
supernaturall
,
and
not
of
so
ready
vse
:
our
thoughts
heere
runne
leuell
,
and
may
ouertake
,
for
they
are
earth
,
&
we
are
earth
;
the
rest
haue
too
much
lawe
;
It
is
a
great
start
to
be
as
farre
as
heauen
before
vs
.
What
we
call
licorousnesse
in
children
,
greedinesse
in
Clownes
,
misery
in
couetous
persons
,
the
same
is
ambition
in
a
higher
fortune
:
the
head
of
this
humor
is
one
,
but
in
the
disposing
takes
seuerall
passages
.
To
aspire
is
Ambition
,
which
is
hope
attempting
,
heere
hope
is
abused
which
is
giuen
to
man
not
to
clime
with
,
but
to
keepe
him
from
fal●ing
.
It
hurts
not
for
all
this
,
if
we
would
allay
the
vigor
,
and
prepare
it
,
as
we
do
Quick
si●uer
,
which
killing
,
cures
.
I
would
giue
men
leaue
to
looke
vpwards
to
make
themselues
apt
,
and
nimbl●
to
leape
:
let
them
a
Gods
name
loue
learning
,
the
experience
of
youth
:
let
them
obserue
,
and
be
expert
in
the
knowledges
of
men
,
and
their
actions
;
let
them
bee
iust
,
temperate
,
and
vertuous
,
all
thi●
time
it
is
not
●ll
●t
makes
them
more
industrious
,
than
perhap●
Vertue
could
so
speedily
:
but
to
looke
vpwards
,
and
sink
into
the
earth
,
to
haue
a
high
mind
,
and
then
to
bestowe
intollerable
worship
vpon
a
great
man
,
meerly
because
he
is
great
,
I
like
not
.
I
do
not
thinke
but
Vertue
apparelled
in
a
true
magnanimity
,
must
speed
as
well
as
a
seeming
good
in
insinuating
basenesse
:
and
I
would
rather
choose
to
rise
by
louing
distressed
Vertue
,
then
by
adorning
pompe
;
it
is
much
more
cleanly
,
though
more
daungerous
.
Men
mistrust
themselues
when
they
trust
more
to
pleasing
,
&
soothing
,
then
to
their
owne
inward
graces
.
If
I
be
honest
,
valiant
,
and
able
to
manage
great
matters
,
doo
I
not
abuse
them
to
flie
for
preferment
so
flattery
,
base
seruitude
,
and
admiration
of
their
actions
,
who
are
worthy
to
be
disdained
?
It
is
worthinesse
to
plucke
Honour
from
daungers
,
and
hazards
,
to
aduenture
famishing
in
a
siege
,
to
be
the
first
at
a
breache
,
to
lay
hold
at
the
grappeling
of
shippes
,
vntill
the
losse
of
both
hands
,
and
then
to
hold
by
the
Teethe
:
this
is
the
way
to
Honor
directly
;
for
which
if
there
be
not
recompence
,
vpon
their
heades
let
it
lye
:
Comfort
cannot
be
wanting
to
these
men
of
valour
,
that
they
haue
restored
to
their
Countrey
,
the
blood
,
their
Countrey
once
gaue
them
.
Are
not
these
vertues
better
then
to
wooe
preferment
as
if
shee
were
a
wench
,
to
send
presents
,
to
praise
all
,
because
we
like
some
;
to
dance
among
the
creatures
of
seruitude
,
three
houres
before
our
God
doth
rise
,
and
then
to
thinke
well
of
a
nod
for
recompence
?
I
doo
not
thinke
it
pride
in
my
nature
to
abhorre
these
,
but
a
good
safe
care
to
keep
her selfe
from
bemiring
:
for
wee
must
not
counterfayt
,
If
wee
worship
Baal
,
we
are
no
Christians
:
and
hee
that
declines
to
their
adoration
is
not
honourable
.
I
like
wel
of
Augustus
his
choise
of
Senatours
:
Let
him
trie
mee
thus
a
Gods
name
,
and
reiect
me
if
he
list
:
I
will
subscribe
to
his
wised●me
,
but
neuer
be
bound
to
be
the
register
of
his
Glory
,
nor
to
make
off●rings
to
him
,
to
pay
,
to
pray
,
and
to
serue
.
Let
them
that
will
guild
ouer
th●ir
fetters
with
the
name
of
Pollicy
,
call
him
a
good
Polititian
that
can
thus
temporize
,
I
thinke
he
is
a
slaue
born
,
meeter
to
feare
then
loue
,
let
him
be
whipped
,
not
cherished
.
Thus
I
thinke
seriously
,
though
I
write
it
in
my
talking
stile
,
It
may
be
it
is
the
better
,
for
commonly
he
is
not
st●●cken
againe
,
that
laughes
when
he
strikes
.

11.
Of
Discourse
.
IT
is
a
pittifull
thing
at
great
assemblies
,
to
see
how
the
rich
,
and
gay
will
ingrosse
the
talke
,
and
how
basely
they
vse
that
commoditie
,
not
a
word
able
to
profit
a
Hackney-man
:
they
send
away
Time
worse
appareiled
then
their
Horse-keepers
,
poore
and
naked
of
what
is
precious
,
but
loden
with
strawe
and
durt
,
good
onely
for
Thatchers
and
Dawbers
.
At
this
time
I
suffer
much
,
specially
if
I
would
choose
rather
to
fill
my
eares
than
my
belly
,
I
wish
for
Fidler
,
to
confound
them
,
or
any
noise
sauing
their
owne
:
I
would
at
this
time
loose
my
memory
,
for
shee
is
couetous
,
and
takes
all
,
and
with
this
she
will
pollute
all
,
make
all
taste
of
Barbarisme
.
In
this
time
my
eye
wandering
to
finde
a
handsome
cause
of
Interruption
,
meetes
with
a
fellowe
in
blacke
,
backe
againe
they
come
with
their
Intelligence
and
tel
me
they
haue
found
a
Scholler
.
I
goe
to
this
Vessell
,
and
thirsting
after
some
good
licour
,
hastily
pierce
it
,
when
there
issueth
medicines
,
or
Lawe-tearmes
:
alas
,
it
is
either
a
Surgeon
,
or
an
Atturney
,
my
expectation
hath
broken
her
necke
.
Well
these
are
places
to
grow
fat
in
,
not
wise
.
Let
vs
trauaile
some-whither
else
,
to
the
Vniuersitie
:
Their
discourse
is
good
,
but
too
finicall
,
you
vndoo
them
if
you
suffer
them
not
to
goe
Methodically
to
worke
.
Nego
maiorem
,
aut
minorem
,
probo
,
Ipse
dixit
,
&c.
I
like
not
this
,
except
his
aduersary
be
a
Fencer
too
,
there
is
no
vnderstanding
one
another
:
It
is
a
generall
fault
among
the
best
professions
:
For
Mercenary
,
and
Mechanicke
,
it
skilles
not
,
It
becomes
them
well
to
discouer
themselues
by
theyr
speech
,
but
a
Gentleman
should
talke
like
a
Gentleman
;
which
is
,
like
a
wise
man
:
his
knowledge
ought
to
bee
generall
,
it
becomes
him
not
to
talke
of
one
thing
too
much
,
or
to
be
wayed
downe
with
any
particular
profession
.
Heerein
I
admire
Plato
his
Description
of
Socrates
,
who
though
a
Souldier
,
and
a
Scholler
,
yet
he
discoursed
still
like
Wisedome
,
which
commaunds
ouer
all
.
One
knowledge
,
is
but
one
part
of
the
house
,
a
bay-windowe
,
or
a
gable-ende
:
who
builds
his
house
so
maimed
?
much
lesse
himselfe
,
no
be
compleate
.
If
thy
Ghests
be
weary
of
thy
Parlor
,
carry
them
into
thy
Gallery
:
Be
thus
,
but
yet
if
thou
meetest
with
a
fellow
,
that
wold
faine
show
thee
he
is
a
Mathematicam
,
or
a
Nauigator
,
be
content
to
talk
with
him
of
Circles
,
and
Quadrangles
,
of
the
Poles
,
and
Nauigating
Starres
.
There
is
an
other
Creature
that
weyes
euery
word
,
and
wil
be
sure
to
turne
the
verbe
behind
,
affects
elegancy
,
and
to
be
thought
learned
:
this
fellowe
is
formall
,
hee
robbes
himselfe
of
his
commendations
,
with
this
premeditated
course
:
men
looke
for
much
,
where
they
discerne
such
a
preparation
:
besides
,
mee
thinkes
hee
dresses
Truth
and
Wisedome
too
gawdily
.
It
is
the
Country
fashion
to
sugar
ouer
what
is
naturally
sweete
:
he
profits
not
his
Auditory
.
I
knew
a
Country
Church
furnished
with
a
Clocke
,
whose
hammer
was
stricken
by
an
Image
like
a
man
,
vpon
the
wheeles
stood
a
Catte
,
which
when
the
Image
strooke
,
made
such
haste
away
,
as
the
Parishioners
when
they
shuld
haue
wept
for
their
sinnes
,
and
were
moued
therevnto
by
the
Preacher
,
laughed
at
the
Cattes
nimblenes
:
so
is
it
with
this
mans
hearers
,
they
catch
at
some
prettie
sounding
words
,
and
let
the
matter
slip
without
any
attention
.
Let
Ape-keepers
and
Players
,
catch
the
eares
of
their
Auditory
and
Spectators
with
faire
bumbaste
words
,
and
set
speeches
:
It
shal
be
my
course
when
I
must
discourse
(
but
I
had
rather
hear
)
not
to
loose
my self
in
my
tale
,
to
speake
words
that
may
be
vnderstood
,
and
to
my
power
to
meane
wisely
,
rather
then
to
speake
eloquently
.
Essay

12.
Of
Censuring
.
THere
belongs
a
dutie
to
euery
action
,
they
are
our
preciousest
Issue
,
beeing
ours
alone
diuinely
descended
,
the
children
of
our
soules
,
we
must
name
them
,
our
Censure
is
the
Gossip
,
the
names
good
,
or
badde
.
There
was
a
time
of
no
distinction
,
for
all
were
good
,
and
then
Praise
was
superfluous
,
for
they
had
motions
,
and
instigations
more
excellent
:
but
now
we
are
so
ill
,
that
they
deserue
thankes
that
are
good
,
and
must
bee
cherished
:
for
vice
hath
perswaded
Custome
,
that
to
call
naught
naught
,
is
vnciuil
,
&
daungerous
.
Things
in
suspence
come
only
vnder
Supposition
,
&
Iudgement
will
not
turne
her selfe
into
Opinion
with
medling
with
vncertainties
.
What
's
past
is
in
the
power
of
our
Censure
,
and
it
were
pittie
it
should
bee
prohibited
,
since
experience
doubles
our
naturall
discretions
,
and
discourse
addes
to
experience
,
beeing
the
Censure
thrown
vp
&
down
in
our
brains
,
vntill
the
wisest
with
the
strength
of
Reason
,
determines
it
.
We
are
not
without
scandalizing
,
and
reproaching
vaines
,
but
they
are
occasioned
either
through
enuie
or
malice
,
too
foule
,
&
mishapen
mothers
,
to
beare
so
faire
a
child
as
reformation
:
yet
I
haue
heard
some
wise
men
hold
that
venome
of
enemies
not
vnprofitable
,
that
discouers
our
imperfections
:
what
an
vnhappie
and
monstrous
world
is
this
of
ours
,
where
the
best
Offices
are
performed
by
our
worst
acquaintance
?
For
friends
either
we
choose
them
il
,
or
corrupt
them
,
or
there
is
no
choyse
,
I
feare
the
last
,
yet
I
think
it
possible
,
if
we
be
good
to
make
them
good
:
but
our
conuersation
is
to
delight
,
not
to
better
,
we
haue
commerce
,
&
trafficke
with
our
goods
,
not
our
minds
:
Herein
let
me
register
my
particular
happines
,
who
haue
parents
more
carefull
of
my
mind
,
then
of
my
body
,
whose
aduise
,
or
example
,
if
I
will
follow
,
I
cannot
stray
.
But
in
this
paper
I
was
determined
to
speake
more
generally
;
for
particularities
are
offensiue
:
Which
tender
affection
of
ours
,
though
I
abhorre
,
yet
I
meane
not
to
hazard
my selfe
with
Innouation
.
I
will
aduenture
my
opinion
,
but
not
my selfe
for
my
opinion
.
Whether
it
be
solitarinesse
,
or
my
conuersing
with
bookes
,
or
that
my
youth
hath
not
bene
worthy
of
graue
acquaintance
,
I
know
not
,
but
the
greatest
number
(
me
thinks
)
are
out
of
the
way
:
their
proiect
,
the
end
they
determine
at
is
low
,
and
base
.
Since
Time
hath
distild
our
bloods
,
and
seperated
vs
from
the
crowde
,
I
hold
nobility
bound
not
to
commit
any
action
tasting
of
a
degenerate
humor
.
Our
soules
though
they
can
here
take
no
essentiall
addition
,
yet
in
titles
they
do
:
for
our
vertues
sure
wee
were
first
preferd
,
which
is
the
desert
of
our
soule
,
our
soules
then
are
gentlemen
,
and
we
should
apparell
them
▪
but
we
attribute
all
to
our
bodies
,
we
feede
them
well
,
and
cloath
them
richly
,
so
that
we
haue
Gentlemens
bodies
,
and
slauish
minde●
;
nay
euen
our
bodies
,
strip
them
o●
cloaths
,
and
worship
,
sute
our
mind●
,
being
grosse
,
and
thick
ribd
,
apt
for
nothing
but
a
chaire
with
a
backe
,
and
a
paire
of
slippers
.
Ease
,
and
formalitie
,
are
the
highest
wee
reach
at
,
and
like
seeming
Fencers
,
we
are
meeter
for
a
flourish
,
then
defence
.
It
is
the
comfort
of
sorrowe
,
to
search
the
cause
of
our
mishaps
:
for
this
what
shall
we
say
,
that
Ambition
is
a
fault
,
and
Quie●nesse
a
blessing
?
No
,
but
that
our
educations
are
rude
,
and
we
are
blinded
with
Ignorance
.
I
disswade
euery
worthy
spirit
from
the
inticements
of
Ambition
,
&
Quietnesse
I
hold
blest
;
but
I
hold
not
Idlenesse
to
be
quietnes
,
but
that
that
peace
is
good
,
which
authoriseth
the
exercising
goodnesse
.
Beside
the
bond
we
are
obliged
in
to
our
Countrey
,
euen
for
our
own
satisfaction
(
me
thinks
)
we
should
be
more
industrious
.
I
durst
venture
my
life
,
there
is
no
pleasure
so
sweet
to
age
,
blind
,
and
decrepit
,
and
by
time
robbed
of
all
Health
,
and
Contentment
,
as
the
meditation
of
good
deeds
:
It
is
a
rich
inheritance
which
the
father
hath
,
and
the
children
haue
,
&
the
whole
houshold
is
graced
with
.
If
we
bee
asked
how
wee
haue
liued
,
how
are
we
pierced
,
how
cowardly
our
sloath
serues
vs
,
leaving
vs
without
all
defence
?
Place
two
men
in
equall
fortunes
,
the
one
the
seruant
of
Vertue
,
&
of
his
Countrey
,
the
other
of
Idlenesse
,
and
pleasure
,
fooles
may
determine
him
happiest
that
eates
most
meat
,
and
keepes
most
men
,
but
after
their
deathes
,
the
eyes
most
bleared
with
vice
,
cannot
but
acknowledge
what
a
huge
distance
Fame
makes
betweene
theyr
memories
.
I
haue
knowne
the
extremitie
of
this
Idle
life
,
and
of
the
other
I
haue
had
some
litle
taste
,
and
euen
that
taste
I
so
much
preferre
,
as
I
reckon
not
my
life
from
the
time
of
my
birth
,
but
from
this
day
,
how
much
they
differ
,
what
a
tranquillitie
there
is
in
the
one
,
what
wretchednesse
in
the
other
,
how
pleasing
a
sight
is
the
inward
aspect
to
the
one
,
how
horrible
and
fearfull
to
the
other
,
that
by
mine
owne
experience
I
can
affirme
,
I
was
afraide
to
thinke
of
my selfe
,
and
neuer
durst
aske
account
of
my
owne
life
:
their
discourse
&
familiaritie
how
vnlike
,
this
life
able
to
better
the
Auditory
,
to
set
foorth
Vertue
in
her
fairest
colours
,
the
others
motions
like
the
penny-motions
able
to
stirre
,
and
stare
,
and
downe
againe
.
We
patch
and
lengthen
our
hopes
with
such
fraile
and
slender
stuffe
,
imputing
our
misfortunes
to
our
Desteny
,
and
to
the
Tune
,
like
Tiberius
,
asking
a
Gard
of
the
Romane
Senators
,
saying
his
loue
had
purchased
the
hate
of
the
Common-wealth
,
when
it
was
his
vnmeasurable
crueltie
.
Neither
in
publike
,
nor
in
priuate
liues
,
neede
we
be
in
this
aduenture
,
it
is
no
bodies
fault
but
our
owne
:
for
Fortune
hath
no
power
of
Wisedome
,
but
of
Sensualitie
,
and
of
liues
that
swimme
and
nauigate
without
the
Load-stone
of
Discretion
,
and
Iudgement
.
I
am
brought
in
this
Theme
,
to
write
with
more
then
an
ordinary
vehemency
,
so
certainly
doo
I
knowe
mans
happinesse
to
rest
in
the
mannaging
his
owne
time
:
Euery
man
may
be
blest
,
and
rich
in
perfection
,
if
his
owne
dissolutenesse
,
and
vnthriftinesse
,
incurres
not
the
contrary
.
I
wish
we
were
all
thus
carefull
,
and
if
I
can
,
I
will
begin
,
which
I
should
the
better
performe
,
if
a
generall
consent
of
amendment
were
in
euery
bodies
minde
.
Let
vs
one
helpe
another
with
laying
open
our
diseases
to
one
another
:
If
our
titles
in
our
lands
be
neuer
so
litle
cracked
,
or
seame-rent
,
wee
sweate
with
our
blacke
boxes
,
we
are
diligent
in
searching
to
recouer
them
,
but
our
minds
are
seam
rent
,
cracked
,
and
bawdie
,
but
we
aske
no
helpe
,
nor
endeuour
to
do
any
thing
but
to
conceale
them
.
For
euery
headache
our
vrines
knock
at
the
Physitions
doore
,
and
we
are
inquisiue
about
the
state
of
our
bodies
,
but
our
conscience
may
exclaime
,
and
cry
out
to
vs
,
how
sicke
,
and
famished
our
soules
state
is
,
and
we
wil
not
heare
her
.
Times
past
were
not
more
carefull
,
but
imployed
their
care
more
worthily
:
I
will
be
bounde
in
the
Romane
Common-wealth
,
in
the
time
of
one
mans
Consulship
more
excellent
deeds
were
performed
,
then
there
is
now
throughout
the
worlde
in
many
yeares
.
Who
can
match
me
,
Sceuola
burning
his
hand
without
motion
?
Where
is
there
a
Rutilius
that
wil
prize
his
Commonwealth
so
dearly
,
as
to
run
into
the
Iawes
of
torment
,
and
death
?
No
,
we
drawe
not
euenly
,
but
are
carried
away
with
particular
Humours
.
Lawes
and
inforcements
,
must
keep
vs
from
the
extremitie
of
ill
;
what
slauish
mettalls
are
we
made
of
in
the
meane
time
,
that
choose
to
feare
punishment
,
rather
then
to
loue
Vertue
?
I
blame
nothing
for
this
but
Custome
:
It
is
in
her
power
if
shee
will
,
to
make
shame
smart
as
ill
as
whipping
.
Lawes
keep
but
the
dregges
of
a
Common-wealth
in
obedience
,
and
them
only
from
being
too
ill
,
but
vpwardes
it
prouokes
them
not
,
nor
any
thing
but
Custome
,
and
the
estimation
of
Vertue
.
All
this
time
I
haue
built
but
the
bridge
I
meane
to
trauaile
vpon
,
and
not
that
annointed
with
a
finicall
Exordium
.
I
trauaile
where
I
list
,
and
when
I
list
,
and
will
not
binde
my selfe
to
more
then
I
list
.
Let
my
feete
be
bounde
to
come
into
the
hal
before
the
great
chamber
,
my
head
shall
see
which
I
list
first
.
I
hate
the
dulnesse
of
my
owne
feete
,
and
my
horses
,
when
I
trauell
,
and
cherish
the
nimblenesse
of
my
thoughtes
which
can
flie
ouer
the
world
in
an
afternoone
.
I
am
determined
to
speake
of
bookes
next
,
to
whom
if
you
wold
not
say
I
were
too
bookish
,
I
shuld
giue
the
first
place
of
all
thinges
here
.
The
best
witte
of
man
that
euer
was
,
not
assisted
by
such
helps
as
may
make
my
comparison
blasphemy
,
neuer
brought
so
much
into
the
world
,
as
by
their
assistance
he
hath
had
.
When
I
heare
a
naturall
man
speak
in
his
best
,
I
can
say
but
wittie
,
My
comendations
are
at
the
farthest
;
but
the
tongue
steeped
in
the
true
vnderstanding
incident
to
learning
,
hath
Wisedome
for
his
reward
.
Experience
doth
much
,
but
it
is
too
ful
of
scars
and
wounds
,
and
is
brought
with
gray
haires
,
and
danger
:
when
the
other
hath
no
lesse
that
hath
trauailed
but
in
his
study
.
In
a
word
propounde
any
course
sauing
eating
,
and
sleeping
,
and
wanting
this
,
you
are
maimed
:
euen
in
the
life
of
blowes
,
and
warres
,
where
strength
seemes
to
beare
more
sway
then
vnderstanding
,
yet
Armor
,
Discipline
,
Marshalling
,
Aduantage
of
number
,
and
scituation
of
the
place
,
ends
with
the
wel
tuned
Harmony
of
an
Oration
,
whose
force
hath
often
beene
as
much
as
all
the
rest
,
and
with
the
sweetenesse
,
added
vigour
to
the
harshnesse
of
Valour
.
Of
Bookes
,
for
both
Philosophies
,
I
onely
esteeme
Plato
,
who
doth
so
cunningly
weaue
them
together
,
as
(
me
thinkes
)
he
saith
he
is
content
to
giue
you
knowledge
,
on
condition
you
should
be
honest
.
In
the
person
of
his
Socrates
,
hee
setteth
downe
one
of
the
most
absolute
formes
of
life
,
that
is
possible
to
be
imagined
.
I
doubt
whether
he
were
so
wel
as
his
picture
,
yet
Plato
telles
it
so
with
the
circumstances
,
as
I
am
afraide
sometimes
by
doubting
,
to
do
him
wrong
:
If
he
wanted
not
very
much
he
is
worthie
of
admiration
,
if
very
much
,
of
applause
,
being
the
onely
man
that
euer
I
heard
of
,
most
innocent
of
entertaining
a
forced
grace
for
some
second
cause
.
Of
History
if
you
wil
haue
me
showe
you
the
best
first
,
I
must
begin
,
and
ende
with
Tacitus
,
so
graue
a
stile
,
so
Iudicial
a
Censure
,
and
so
piercing
an
eye
into
the
designes
of
Princes
,
and
States
,
neuer
met
in
one
man
:
he
is
so
worthie
,
that
I
wish
hee
were
as
rare
,
for
I
holde
no
eye
meete
to
wade
in
him
,
that
is
not
at
the
helme
of
a
State
.
For
profitable
Recreation
,
that
Noble
French
Knight
,
the
Lord
de
Montaigne
is
most
excellent
,
whom
though
I
haue
not
bene
so
much
beholding
to
the
French
as
to
see
in
his
Originall
,
yet
diuers
of
his
peeces
I
haue
seene
translated
:
they
that
vnderstand
both
languages
say
very
well
done
,
and
I
am
able
to
say
(
if
you
will
take
the
word
of
Ignorance
)
translated
into
a
stile
,
admitting
as
fewe
Idle
words
as
our
language
wil
endure
:
It
is
well
fitted
in
this
newe
garment
,
and
Montaigne
speaks
now
good
English
:
It
is
done
by
a
fellowe
lesse
beholding
to
nature
for
his
fortune
then
witte
,
yet
lesser
for
his
face
then
fortune
;
the
truth
is
,
hee
lookes
more
like
a
good-fellowe
,
then
a
wise-man
,
and
yet
hee
is
wise
,
beyond
either
his
fortune
,
or
education
:
but
his
Authour
speakes
nobly
,
honestly
,
and
wisely
,
with
little
method
,
but
with
much
iudgement
:
Learned
he
was
,
and
often
showes
it
,
but
with
such
a
happinesse
,
as
his
owne
following
is
not
disgraced
by
his
owne
reading
:
He
speakes
freely
,
and
yet
wisely
,
Censures
,
and
determines
many
things
Iudicially
,
and
yet
forceth
you
not
to
attention
with
a
hem
,
&
a
spitting
Exordium
:
In
a
word
hee
hath
made
Morrall
Philosophy
speake
couragiously
,
and
in
steed
of
her
gowne
,
giuen
her
an
Armour
;
he
hath
put
Pedanticall
Schollerisme
out
of
countenance
,
and
made
manifest
,
that
learning
mingled
with
Nobilitie
,
shines
most
clearly
.
I
haue
done
with
Bookes
,
and
now
I
wil
sit
in
iudgement
vpon
all
those
that
my
memory
can
readily
produce
,
and
it
is
no
presumption
,
L'euento
spesso
è
giudice
non
Imperito
delie
cose
:
Seeing
the
beginning
,
and
ending
,
the
circumstances
fal
easily
into
euery
head
,
especially
considering
my
opinion
of
these
things
is
no
part
of
my
faith
,
neither
do
I
holde
them
so
obstinately
that
I
will
not
doo
Reason
reason
,
and
yeeld
if
I
see
cause
.
I
thinke
Courage
in
the
time
of
Alexander
the
great
,
was
a
great
Gamster
,
Pol●cy
at
that
time
was
not
his
crafts-maister
;
some
vnderstanding
they
had
in
marshalling
an
Army
,
In
aduauntaging
themselues
by
the
ground
,
but
in
more
hidden
points
they
were
not
then
exercised
:
thus
I
thinke
his
Conquestes
the
lesse
miraculous
:
but
yet
from
so
yong
yeares
,
from
so
little
experience
,
the
heigth
of
his
attempt
was
honourable
,
and
his
proceedinges
admirable
:
to
keepe
so
warlike
a
people
in
so
good
a
temper
,
argued
a
great
strength
of
vnderstanding
,
yet
do
I
blesse
no
action
of
his
more
then
the
faire
vsage
or
his
female
prisoners
,
considering
their
beautie
apt
to
prouoke
,
his
●emper
being
fiery
,
not
to
endure
prouocation
,
one
of
these
resistances
shines
beautifully
,
and
as
Cicero
saith
of
Caesars
clemency
,
is
an
action
purchasing
glory
without
sharers
:
His
foundation
was
answerable
to
so
high
an
enterprise
,
sharing
out
his
particular
reuenewes
among
his
followers
,
which
wonne
their
loue
:
for
meane
fortunes
loue
wealth
,
high
Fortunes
Glory
.
Among
these
,
Perdiccas
spake
to
my
liking
,
who
being
offered
an
ample
Patrimony
,
asked
his
maister
what
hee
would
leaue
to
himselfe
,
Alexander
saide
Hope
,
hee
desired
to
rest
there
too
:
excellently
well
plaied
on
both
sides
:
hee
was
a
rare
young
man
,
whom
Fortune
followed
,
&
with
whome
Death
plaied
good
Fortune
,
for
I
thinke
if
hee
had
liued
,
hee
would
haue
lost
by
the
world
,
and
growne
downeward
:
so
excellent
was
his
youth
,
as
I
am
afraid
his
Age
would
not
haue
bin
answerable
,
and
then
his
Cornet
would
haue
fallen
out
disgracefully
,
therefore
he
did
well
to
die
.
If
the
Senate
of
Rome
had
seene
Caesar
weepe
that
hee
was
not
vp
assoone
as
Alexander
,
I
think
they
would
haue
cu●b'd
him
shorter
,
but
hee
offended
worse
in
that
iourny
,
when
he
protested
among
his
Companions
,
that
the
first
place
in
a
little
Village
,
was
in
his
estimation
more
worthie
then
the
second
in
Rome
:
I
like
not
this
opennesse
,
it
was
not
sutable
to
Caesar
,
he
played
his
Game
well
,
but
there
was
no
cast
like
the
reconciling
of
Cassus
,
and
Pompey
,
it
wonne
him
the
wager
:
Euen
this
one
Action
deserues
a
volume
,
for
there
is
muche
in
it
,
but
I
will
thinke
the
rest
,
and
giue
it
onelye
a
scratche
with
my
pen
:
his
Gouernment
generally
was
like
Caesar
,
onely
there
rests
two
thinges
that
I
am
determined
to
touch
:
the
one
his
erecting
again
the
Statues
of
Sylla
,
and
Pompey
throwne
downe
by
theyr
misfortunes
,
it
was
too
late
for
their
memories
to
hurt
him
,
yet
this
elemency
to
his
enemies
,
made
his
friends
not
doubt
to
speed
wel
vnder
him
,
and
those
indifferent
to
finde
him
a
good
Lord
:
this
was
wel
done
.
The
other
as
ill
,
that
hauing
brought
a
gouernment
free
to
a
particular
,
and
forestalled
all
Dominion
,
not
to
be
content
with
the
thing
,
but
to
thirst
after
the
name
of
a
Monarch
,
it
was
vnseasonably
done
,
and
in
my
opinion
the
hastener
of
his
death
.
This
puts
me
in
minde
of
the
contrary
course
vsed
by
the
house
of
the
Medici
,
who
did
pull
the
staffe
of
liberty
so
easily
out
of
the
peoples
hands
,
that
they
had
it
before
they
were
mistrusted
:
so
by
degrees
did
the
sonne
get
farther
then
the
Father
,
and
the
Grandchilde
farther
then
the
Grandfather
,
as
if
their
soules
before
their
communicating
with
their
bodies
had
set
in
counsell
about
it
.
Augustus
the
heire
of
Caesars
labours
,
was
borne
fit
(
in
my
opinion
)
to
settle
a
new
erected
Empire
Militem
Donis
.
Populum
annona
,
cunctos
dulce●ine
Otij
pellexit
:
hee
tooke
the
right
course
,
for
there
is
in
the
multitude
a
strength
more
then
they
knowe
of
,
and
in
this
new
worlde
,
seueritie
might
haue
brought
them
to
trickes
of
Restinesse
,
able
to
haue
indangered
their
Rider
,
but
hee
loosened
them
,
and
gaue
them
lawes
,
and
restrained
the
excesse
of
the
mightie
,
things
acceptable
to
the
people
,
and
with
these
good
Innouations
,
he
turned
their
eyes
from
looking
into
times
past
,
or
practising
to
recouer
libertie
.
But
of
all
the
Princes
that
euer
my
eyes
haue
met
with
in
my
reading
,
or
my
eares
haue
heard
of
by
others
,
the
onely
Politian
was
Tiberius
:
his
beginning
was
not
ill
,
but
full
of
wisedome
,
and
somewhat
vertuous
,
yet
somewhat
the
better
(
as
it
is
thought
)
for
feare
to
be
excelled
by
Germanicus
,
whose
power
in
souldiers
,
wisedom
to
mannage
great
matters
,
and
loue
to
possesse
himself
of
great
matters
,
was
such
,
as
Tiberius
liued
iealous
as
long
as
Germanicu●
liued
at
all
:
there
was
no
lesse
honest
pollicy
in
Germanicus
,
who
sawe
Tiberius
,
yet
was
not
able
to
shunne
him
:
After
a
great
Conquest
of
the
Germanes
,
markes
of
Tryumph
being
set
vp
,
Tiberius
was
mentioned
in
the
Insculpture
,
and
the
Conquerour
left
out
,
for
hee
knew
well
the
couetousnesse
of
Tiranny
.
Tiberius
course
with
Germanicus
was
full
of
safetie
,
I
cannot
say
honestie
:
first
to
remoue
him
from
the
gouernment
of
France
,
where
he
was
strong
in
the
loue
,
and
multitude
of
his
souldiers
,
was
vnder
the
cloake
of
rewarding
his
vertues
with
Tryumph
:
afterwards
an
Insurrection
in
the
East
parts
was
acceptable
vnto
him
,
to
suppresse
which
,
he
sent
Germanicus
,
where
he
might
bee
nearer
daunger
,
remote
from
Loue
,
and
conuersaunt
with
Chaunce
:
to
effect
which
,
hee
sent
thither
Piso
,
by
base
flattery
to
winne
the
Souldiours
,
and
by
opposing
himselfe
to
Germanicus
,
to
keepe
forraine
Princes
from
vniting
themselues
to
him
.
Germanicus
died
there
(
as
it
is
thought
)
poysoned
,
which
the
people
desirous
to
reuenge
,
hee
suffered
to
keepe
himselfe
out
of
suspition
,
and
yet
with
such
hope
to
Piso
,
as
kept
him
from
discouering
the
secret
.
His
speech
(
euen
in
light
matters
)
was
obscure
,
and
subiect
to
a
subtile
construction
.
In
the
gouernment
of
forraine
Prouinces
,
he
made
choise
rather
of
a
slowe
delicate
people
,
then
of
spirites
of
more
excellency
:
as
Suetonius
saith
he
did
of
Vitellius
,
In
inferiorem
Germaniam
missus
est
,
contemptu
magis
quam
gratia
electus
.
In
the
ende
this
course
made
him
grow
doubtfull
:
for
such
people
being
vncaple
of
those
places
,
indaungered
the
Empire
;
and
such
as
were
worthy
,
hee
thought
dangerous
to
his
particular
person
:
to
auoyd
which
,
he
chose
Gouernors
of
abilitie
,
which
exercised
their
wittes
in
their
places
with
the
bodies
of
their
Lieutenantes
,
and
themselues
hee
kept
neare
him
in
person
.
I
make
no
Apology
for
his
vertues
(
for
he
was
vnmeasurably
vicious
)
but
his
pollicy
neuer
failed
him
but
in
his
affection
to
Seianus
,
who
surely
had
gone
beyond
him
,
had
he
not
bene
hindered
by
the
peoples
hatred
,
and
the
number
of
his
successours
,
rather
then
by
himselfe
.
In
the
end
,
let
me
ende
with
Death
,
which
last
part
giues
either
lustre
,
or
blemish
to
our
memories
:
nothing
heere
can
stand
,
therefore
let
vs
make
it
in
our
powers
to
goe
out
handsomely
.
Feare
(
mee
thinkes
)
is
destinated
to
more
vncertain
euents
,
and
therefore
should
not
disturbe
our
conclusion
,
saying
truely
,
I
should
forbid
it
in
all
things
,
but
Diuinitie
,
for
it
hinders
our
intentions
,
and
a
seeming
,
makes
vs
doo
things
vnbeseeming
.
Quippe
etenim
quam
multa
tibi

fingere
possunt
Somnia
quae

vertere

Fortunasque

Tacitus
makes
one
of
the
Sempronij
not
wholely
to
degenerate
from
his
house
onely
for
dying
well
,
Constantia
mortis
haud
Indigna
Sempronio
nomine
.
I
know
not
any
thing
so
certainly
in
our
power
that
carrieth
with
it
more
maiestie
,
and
begets
a
more
eternall
,
and
continuall
Honour
:
nor
any
thing
that
we
may
prouide
for
so
certainely
,
and
not
be
deceiued
.
Let
vs
a
Gods
name
Hoc
agere
,
when
we
liue
,
liue
,
and
when
wee
are
about
death
,
tend
our
businesse
.
Though
we
haue
many
examples
notable
in
this
kind
among
the
Graecians
,
and
that
it
was
so
conuersant
with
the
Romanes
,
as
nothing
was
more
in
fashion
:
yet
I
wil
name
only
two
of
seueral
Sexes
,
it
may
be
they
may
ingender
among
vs
,
and
beget
Resolution
:
I
like
them
the
better
because
vnexpected
,
therefore
their
manner
of
entertaining
it
not
affected
,
it
was
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
Olimpia
the
mother
of
Alexander
,
they
dyed
comely
,
and
had
euen
then
when
they
were
out
of
daunger
of
Reproofe
,
a
care
not
to
commit
any
ill
beseeming
Action
.
There
is
a
last
taste
of
things
,
that
giues
them
the
name
of
sweete
,
or
sowre
:
from
this
wee
haue
drawne
a
Metaphor
,
that
nothing
goeth
with
full
applause
,
that
holdes
not
his
perfection
to
to
the
end
.
Of
life
,
and
his
appurtenances
Death
is
the
last
relish
,
which
if
it
taste
fearefully
,
&
looke
troubled
,
drawes
the
Censure
to
determine
it
licour
full
of
the
lees
of
Humours
,
rather
then
of
clearnesse
,
and
puritie
.

Of

I
Thinke
Iestes
,
and

are
much
alike
,
both
the
aboundance
of
superfluous
humours
,
&
this
breaking
out
more
wholesome
then
pleasant
▪
It
defends
the
wit
and
the
bodie
from
sicknesse
.
If
the
most
naturall
abilitie
bee
thus
deformed
,
what
becomes
of
the
affectors
of
this
vaine
,
who
inforce
it
in
themselues
?
Surely
if
they
determine
not
to
beg
with
it
,
and
so
to
mooue
commiseration
put
it
on
,
and
nourish
it
as
Beggers
doo
broken
shinnes
,
I
knowe
not
their
vse
.
It
is
onely
tollerable
in
them
whose
natures
must
of
force
haue
that
vent
,
which
vse
it
as
some
bodies
do
breaking
of
winde
.
But
for
them
that
will
choose
to
loose
a
friend
rather
then
a
Iest
,
and
desire
to
bee
admired
in
laughter
,
and
are
out
of
countenance
if
their
Iestes
take
not
,
they
be
in
my
opinion
straunge
creatures
.
There
is
another
sort
worse
then
these
,
that
neuer
vtter
any
thing
of
their
owne
,
but
get
Iestes
by
heart
,
and
robbe
bookes
,
and
men
of
prettie
tales
,
and
yet
hope
for
this
to
haue
a
roome
aboue
the
Salt
.
I
am
tyred
with
these
fellowes
,
my
eares
suffer
at
this
time
,
more
then
at
Parris
Garden
.
I
would
haue
a
Iest
neuer
serued
aboue
once
,
when
it
is
colde
the
vigour
,
the
strength
of
it
is
gone

I
refuse
to
weare
buffe
for
the
lasting

and
shall
I
be
content
to
apparell
my
braine
in

?
by
no

Of

of

I

not

for
by

There

the

He

Essay

14.
Of
Youth
.
MEe
thinkes
this
same
Youth
is
a
very
sicknesse
,
a
malady
full
of
distemperatures
like
an
Ague
,
it
wisheth
for
what
would
hurt
it
,
is
daungerously
sicke
,
and
yet
will
take
no
phisick
.
It
is
a
straunge
thing
that
the
beginning
of
life
should
bee
death
thus
full
of
vncurable
diseases
.
I
haue
long
laboured
in
this
infirmitie
,
euer
since
I
was
borne
,
I
am
not
yet
cured
:
they
say
there
is
nothing
good
for
it
but
time
,
which
I
cannot
yet
get
,
and
therefore
am
still
sicke
,
though
not
so
ill
as
I
was
:
for
I
borrowed
a
litle
of
Experience
,
which
hath
done
me
onely
this
good
to
know
I
am
not
well
,
which
hath
made
mee
sensible
:
since
I
came
to
which
my
Occupation
hath
bene
to
obserue
my selfe
,
and
others
.
And
if
it
be
not
the
effect
of
a
cruell
nature
,
it
would
make
a
man
laugh
to
see
the
diuersitie
of
their
fittes
,
generally
all
madde
,
but
differing
in
the
maner
of
their
furies
.
Theyr
braines
are
all
so
hotte
,
that
they
haue
no
vse
of
them
,
they
are
all
numme
,
onely
their
senses
are
lest
them
,
in
whose
pleasure
they
liue
.
Some
giue
all
to
their
sight
,
and
loue
to
looke
vpon
nothing
that
lookes
not
faire
,
&
yet
they
looke
in
the
Glasse
to
finde
themselues
,
when
a
more
beastly
sight
they
cannot
finde
in
the
world
.
Thus
doo
they
attribute
all
to
their
senses
,
though
they
differ
in
allowing
the
preheminence
.
It
is
with
them
as
with
the
Indians
for
their
Gods
,
some
worship
the
Sunne
,
some
the
Moone
,
Beastes
,
Fishes
,
and
Foules
,
or
whatsoeuer
else
it
pleaseth
theyr
fancies
to
preferre
.
Sometimes
they
growe
inconstant
,
and
vary
their
delights
.
There
is
most
hope
of
these
,
for
I
holde
,
that
Inconstancy
the
working
of
theyr
soule
,
who
loathing
this
language
of
earth
which
shee
vnderstandes
not
,
sheweth
them
betimes
the
ende
of
theyr
delights
to
be
griefe
.
I
haue
noted
when
these
sencepleasers
haue
come
from
any
of
their
sportes
,
what
a
naked
discou●se
hath
followed
:
howe
well
Iumball
gaue
it
in
such
a
dry
path
,
he
hath
a
Nose
cries
one
,
lyke
a
Beagle
,
and
yet
a
verie
deepe
mouth
:
if
verie
deepe
,
deeper
then
his
head
,
for
that
is
too
too
shallow
:
In
this
kinde
passe
they
all
their
time
,
and
some
worse
:
and
yet
these
are
the
best
sorte
of
youth
,
there
is
great
hope
of
these
:
mee
thinkes
there
should
be
so
of
their
Dogges
too
,
for
they
receiue
all
from
them
.
In
the
other
sort
more
riotous
,
I
can
commend
nothing
but
their
resolution
,
surely
they
meditate
much
on
Death
,
and
thinke
not
to
liue
till
to
morrowe
,
for
they
take
care
onely
for
to
day
.
Thus
much
I
know
of
Youth
,
I
would
I
could
tell
you
the
disposition
of
Age
too
,
for
I
am
weary
of
this
life
.

15.
Of
the
obseruation
,
and
vse
of
things
.
I
Come
nowe
from
discoursing
with
an
Husband-man
,
an
excellent
stiffe
slaue
,
without
obseruation
,
respect
,
or
ciuilitie
,
but
not
without
a
great
deale
of
wit
,
if
it
were
refined
,
and
seperated
from
the
durt
that
hangs
about
it
.
I
haue
sold
him
an
houre
of
my
time
,
and
haue
ware
for
it
,
good
sound
principles
,
in
truth
becomming
a
better
fortune
:
This
time
hath
not
bene
lost
,
for
his
experience
,
his
learning
of
Tradition
,
and
his
naturall
witte
hath
enformed
mee
of
many
things
,
I
haue
picked
out
of
him
good
Philosophy
,
and
Astronomy
,
and
other
obseruations
of
Time
,
and
of
the
world
:
all
which
though
hee
imployes
about
durt
,
and
allotteth
to
that
ende
,
hinder
not
me
from
making
a
more
worthy
vse
of
them
.
There
is
not
that
thing
vppon
the
Earth
,
that
well
examined
,
yeeldes
not
something
worthie
of
knowledge
:
that
diuine
Artisan
that
made
them
,
neuer
fashioned
any
thing
vnprofitably
,
nor
euer
set
forth
any
of
his
workemanship
without
some
inward
vertue
.
I
do
first
prescribe
them
that
desire
to
proue
excellent
in
distilling
these
simples
,
to
lay
in
good
store
of
the
fuell
of
learning
:
whatsoeuer
he
hath
of
his
owne
naturall
witte
is
not
sufficient
,
it
makes
not
the
fire
hotte
enough
:
for
there
is
a
great
deale
of
tough
vile
stuffe
to
be
drawne
out
,
before
what
is
pure
can
be
gotten
:
but
then
(
I
tell
Ignorance
a
miracle
now
)
hee
shall
not
see
,
nor
touch
that
thing
,
that
will
not
adde
to
his
wisedome
:
for
thinges
are
a
kinne
to
one
another
,
they
come
all
out
of
one
Fountaine
,
and
the
knowing
one
,
bringes
you
acquainted
with
an
other
,
and
so
to
others
.
All
kinde
of
bookes
are
profitable
,
except
printed
Bawdery
;
they
abuse
youth
:
but
Pamphlets
,
and
lying
Stories
,
and
News
,
and
two
penny
Poets
I
would
knowe
them
,
but
beware
of
beeing
familiar
with
them
:
my
custome
is
to
read
these
,
and
presently
to
make
vse
of
them
,
for
they
lie
in
my
priuy
,
and
when
I
come
thither
,
and
haue
occasion
to
imploy
it
,
I
read
them
,
halfe
a
side
at
once
is
my
ordinary
,
which
when
I
haue
read
,
I
vse
in
that
kind
,
that
waste
paper
is
most
subiect
too
,
but
to
a
cleanlier
profit
:
I
see
in
them
the
difference
of
wits
,
and
dispositions
,
the
alterations
of
Arguments
pleasing
the
world
,
and
the
change
of
stiles
:
this
I
haue
in
despight
of
him
,
be
he
neuer
so
ignorant
:
and
if
hee
hath
any
thing
good
among
such
store
of
ill
,
why
that
is
mine
too
.
I
haue
not
beene
ashamed
to
aduenture
mine
eares
with
a
ballad-singer
,
and
they
haue
come
home
loaden
to
my
liking
,
doubly
satisfied
,
with
profit
,
&
with
recreation
.
The
profit
,
to
see
earthlings
satisfied
with
such
course
stuffe
,
to
heare
vice
rebuked
,
and
to
see
the
power
of
Vertue
that
pierceth
the
head
of
such
a
base
Historian
,
and
vile
Auditory
.
The
recreation
to
see
how
thoroughly
the
standers
by
are
affected
,
what
strange
gestures
come
from
them
,
what
strained
stuffe
from
their
Poet
,
what
shift
they
make
to
stand
to
heare
,
what
extremities
he
is
driuen
to
for
Rime
,
how
they
aduenture
their
purses
,
he
his
wits
,
how
well
both
their
paines
are
recompenced
,
they
with
a
filthy
noise
,
hee
with
a
base
reward
.
There
is
not
any
thing
retained
in
my
memory
from
the
fi●st
that
profits
me
not
:
sometimes
I
renew
my
nurses
stories
,
and
being
now
strong
,
and
able
to
disgest
them
,
I
finde
them
not
without
nourishment
.
My
after
life
(
though
I
lament
the
bestowing
it
,
because
I
shuld
haue
put
things
more
precious
in
first
,
yet
it
)
is
not
without
profit
.
I
was
bound
then
to
Arthur
of
Brittaine
,
and
things
of
that
price
,
for
my
knowledge
was
not
able
to
trafficke
with
any
thing
more
rich
,
Stowes
Cronicle
was
the
highest
,
yet
I
haue
found
good
vse
of
them
,
they
haue
added
to
my
experience
.
My
exercises
,
&
recreatiō●
,
or
rather
(
as
I
than
vsed
them
)
occupations
,
I
finde
worth
somewhat
.
I
would
not
loose
my
knowledge
of
Hawkes
,
and
running
Horses
for
any
thing
,
they
are
not
without
vse
,
I
meete
often
with
people
that
vnderstand
no
other
language
,
&
then
they
make
me
sociable
,
and
not
vnpleasing
to
the
company
.
If
out
of
these
dregs
there
bee
good
iuice
to
bee
got
,
what
is
there
out
of
more
noble
obseruations
?
truly
an
incredible
knowledge
:
he
that
can
make
vse
of
them
,
may
leaue
reading
,
and
profit
no
lesse
by
these
.
If
out
of
these
blotters
of
paper
many
things
may
be
extracted
not
vnworthy
of
note
,
what
may
we
expect
from
Homer
,
Virgil
,
and
such
Poets
?
If
in
Arthur
of
Britaine
,
Huon
of
Burdeaux
,
and
such
supposed
chiualrie
,
a
man
may
better
himselfe
,
shall
hee
not
become
excellent
with
conuersing
with
Tacitus
,
Plutarch
,
Salust
,
and
fellowes
of
that
ranke
?
Here
stay
thy selfe
,
and
read
with
attention
:
Mee
thinks
Plutarches
liues
shuld
make
euery
man
good
that
reades
them
,
he
may
take
his
choise
of
such
a
number
of
courses
,
and
fit
his
nature
with
his
temperature
:
Some
onely
the
seruants
of
Vertue
,
others
vsing
her
for
their
own

Of
Opinion
.
IT
befalleth
me
now
,
to
speake
of
the
straungest
thing
of
the
world
,
&
yet
it
is
nothing
,
and
for
al
that
,
scareth
the
most
mightie
;
It
is
a
monster
,
halfe
Truthe
,
and
halfe
Falshood
:
It
receiues
all
formes
,
sometimes
taking
resemblances
most
pleasing
,
other
times
most
terrible
:
It
cleaues
most
to
great
Fortunes
,
and
yet
liueth
vpon
the
breath
of
the
vulgar
;
It
is
desired
,
and
shunned
;
serued
,
and
scorned
:
Sometimes
it
maketh
her
seruants
Industrious
,
sometimes
treacherous
.
It
is
often
a
cause
of
things
looking
like
good
,
&
faire
,
more
often
of
wickednesse
,
and
sinne
:
In
a
word
it
seemes
to
doo
much
,
and
doth
nothing
;
And
all
her
followers
looking
like
spirit
,
and
Resolution
,
are
the
very
essence
of
basenesse
,
and
cowardise
:
they
are
worse
then
blind
men
that
haue
a
dog
for
their
guide
,
for
they
dare
doo
nothing
of
themselues
,
vnlesse
they
first
aske
counsaile
of
Opinion
:
She
is
much
made
loue
too
by
base
Ambition
,
by
Thirsters
after
promotion
:
Some
attempt
to
win
her
with
little
ruffes
,
short
haire
,
and
a
graue
habit
,
decent
lookes
,
fewe
words
,
and
sobrietie
:
These
would
faine
haue
her
say
they
are
graue
,
wise
,
sober
,
temperate
men
,
worthy
of
promotion
,
meete
to
bee
part
of
the
tacklings
of
a
Common-wealth
.
There
is
an
other
sort
court
her
with
fine
speeches
,
would
bee
thought
wise
,
and
learned
,
but
these
neuer
vtter
their
ware
but
in
great
assemblies
,
where
they
may
hope
certainely
of
witnesse
.
It
sometimes
makes
cowardise
to
aduenture
vpon
daunger
,
but
they
will
seldome
make
triall
of
themselues
alone
,
they
like
not
night-seruices
,
nor
secret
▪
Stratagems
:
A
pitch'd
field
is
too
little
,
and
the
eye
of
the
Generall
must
attend
them
,
or
else
they
like
it
not
.
It
is
wisedome
▪
with
them
to
loose
no
labour
,
and
prodigalitie
to
conceale
vertue
,
it
is
worse
then
to
weare
cloath
of
gold
inwardly
,
and
fustian
outwardly
,
they
allowe
of
no
secret
expence
,
it
is
vnthriftinesse
:
They
often
goe
like
Vertue
,
speake
like
Vertue
,
doo
like
Vertue
,
but
that
is
where
Vertue
is
in
fashion
,
for
as
it
alters
,
they
alter
,
they
loue
not
her
,
but
Opinion
.
Opinion
the
mother
of
Hipocrisie
,
who
coynes
counterfet
money
vnder
the
stampe
of
Vertue
,
which
nothing
can
disprooue
but
the
touch-stone
of
both
Fortunes
:
surely
these
people
ought
to
bee
pittied
,
for
they
take
more
paines
than
the
vertuous
;
for
these
last
vtter
their
ware
as
Occasion
giues
them
leaue
,
and
when
t'
is
done
,
t'
is
done
▪
the
other
are
faine
to
get
company
togither
,
to
make
frends
,
and
all
the
time
of
their
performing
any
thing
,
their
mind
is
dictracted
:
they
desire
to
doo
it
well
,
and
are
earnest
about
that
,
and
as
earnestly
are
their
eyes
and
eares
busied
at
out
their
allowance
,
which
if
they
haue
not
,
they
are
throwne
lower
in
their
imaginations
,
then
the
Center
of
the
Earth
:
theyr
paines
are
thrice
more
,
their
reward
much
lesse
;
the
allowance
of
the
people
,
the
applause
of
vncertaine
Ignorance
,
which
if
they
do
not
as
much
to
morrowe
,
is
lost
:
but
the
vertuous
haue
an
inward
satisfaction
,
and
a
sure
expectation
of
an
eternall
reward
.
If
at
any
time
the
attempts
of
these
Sectaries
of
Opinion
bee
espied
,
and
that
the
cause
of
theyr
seeming
good
bee
knowne
,
they
are
then
the
very
pictures
of
wretchednes
,
more
base
then
a
Spittle-house
,
they
lament
,
and
howle
,
and
chide
Fortune
bitterly
:
thus
is
it
with
them
in
their
apprehension
;
of
misfortune
,
they
are
more
subiect
to
take
infection
then
the
best
complexions
,
their
imaginations
multiply
griefes
,
they
adde
more
terror
then
it
is
possible
they
should
suffer
:
An
ill
Dreame
to
them
is
worse
then
the
sword
of
an
Executioner
to
Resolution
:
In
a
word
,
they
know
nothing
;
neither
doo
they
thinke
of
any
truly
,
but
the
excesse
of
delights
,
or
griefes
worries
them
worse
then
a
beare
bound
to
endure
ten
dogges
.
Hee
that
loathes
this
life
,
let
him
not
beleeue
any
thing
rashly
,
let
him
loue
Vertue
,
let
him
aspire
to
Cato
his
description
,
of
whom
Salust
saith
,
Esse
quam
videri
bonus
malebat
.
Let
him
neither
be
subiect
to
vaine-glory
,
nor
flatterers
,
nor
respect
commendations
,
nor
reproofes
,
farther
then
they
go
with
Truth
:
If
otherwise
,
let
him
defend
his
eares
from
their
noise
,
&
let
them
passe
without
attention
,
for
they
are
but
as
fawning
dogges
.
This
course
will
defend
him
from
being
bewitched
with
words
,
and
beget
Iudgement
,
the
cause
of
all
well
performed
Actions
.

17.
Of
Discontentments
.
SHall
we
rob
our selues
of
Contentment
because
our
bodies
are
mortall
?
or
shall
wee
esteeme
it
the
best
assistance
of
our
friend
to
weepe
?
I
shall
doubt
of
the
che
choise
of
my
Counsailour
,
if
his
Proemium
be
bewailing
,
and
his
instructions
teares
.
Our
griefes
originalls
are
two
,
both
arise
from
the
body
,
the
one
the
issue
of
Pleasure
,
the
other
of
Griefs
:
the
first
is
the
most
honest
,
the
●ast
most
foolish
.
When
our
body
hath
rebelled
,
&
becommeth
the
slaue
of
lust
,
it
is
well
done
of
the
soule
to
lament
his
obstinate
folly
,
but
to
simpathize
with
the
bodies
griefs
,
and
aches
,
and
paines
,
to
spend
exclamations
vpon
a
thing
necessited
,
it
is
most
ridiculous
.
We
haue
many
faire
examples
before
vs
,
rather
to
be
followed
,
then
admired
;
for
I
thinke
it
not
impossible
to
put
on
this
Habit
of
Resolution
.
It
is
an
armour
(
mee
thinkes
)
of
excellent
proofe
,
to
meditate
of
the
Eternitie
of
our
worthiest
part
,
and
to
thinke
this
compact
of
the
Elements
must
suffer
a
dissolution
.
Whatsoeuer
God
doth
by
a
Medium
,
must
know
an
ende
,
what
immediately
belongs
to
Eternitie
.
Heere
doth
Philosophy
according
to
Plato
,
giue
the
Soule
againe
her
winges
,
and
helpes
her
to
blowe
the
Coale
of
her
first
light
,
and
makes
her
to
distinguish
betweene
Earth
,
and
her
owne
Essence
:
and
when
any
of
these
Tooth-aches
of
the
body
come
,
shee
teacheth
that
they
are
to
be
entertained
,
not
as
straungers
,
but
as
Familiars
that
we
haue
long
expected
.
Who
hath
bene
acquainted
with
this
Philosophicall
life
,
cannot
but
end
with
Plato
in
his
Axiochus
,
Tantum
abest
vt
timeam
mortem
,
vt
nunc
etiam
teneor
Amore.
Reso●ued
of
this
,
mee
thinks
Things
short
of
this
should
lay
no
holde
of
vs
;
but
alas
we
are
so
vsed
to
this
bewayling
,
as
if
we
haue
no
cause
for
what
wee
feele
,
we
will
for
what
we
see
,
for
the
losse
of
money
,
and
things
of
that
kinde
:
and
if
these
be
not
readie
,
we
will
weepe
at
a
Tale
,
or
at
a
Puppet
play
.
It
skilles
not
,
If
the
body
onely
were
at
this
expence
,
but
our
soules
will
accompany
them
,
and
bee
so
foolishly
kinde
,
as
to
lament
for
that
they
neuer
knew
.
Writing
of
this
,
Contemplation
desires
me
to
protest
her
the
onely
Curer
of
these
Diseases
:
and
she
is
so
indeed
:
There
is
no
way
to
make
this
seperation
but
by
her
:
shee
sheweth
her
seruants
those
Terrours
vnmasked
,
which
are
found
to
be
no
other
then
like
Chimeraes
,
begotten
betweene
Feare
,
and
Darkenesse
,
which
vanish
with
the
Light
,
and
are
expelled
by
the
eye-light
of
Knowledge
.
Doest
thou
lament
for
what
is
to
come
?
Why
?
because
it
is
not
come
?
No
,
because
it
is
greeuous
,
and
wilt
thou
double
thy
griefes
with
pulling
them
on
before
they
come
?
Are
they
come
?
why
it
is
too
late
to
weepe
:
If
thou
wilt
do
any
thing
,
please
thy
body
with
getting
Cure
:
If
it
be
vncurable
,
Lamentations
are
vaine
:
There
rests
nothing
then
,
but
to
imitate
cunning
Porters
,
get
somewhat
to
saue
thy
shoulders
,
and
learne
to
carry
it
with
the
greatest
ease
.
I
neuer
yet
sawe
griefe
of
so
deep
a
Dye
,
that
Time
hath
not
changed
:
were
it
not
better
to
be
ones
owne
Phisition
?
and
though
we
haue
lost
Friendes
,
Reputation
,
and
Riches
,
the
houshold-stuffe
of
esteeme
in
the
world
,
yet
if
we
holde
Patience
we
are
not
poore
:
And
among
the
wise
,
the
estimatimation
will
rather
encrease
then
decrease
with
these
tryalls
.
Come
then
,
let
vs
maintaine
this
Fort
resolutely
,
there
is
no
safetie
but
here
,
Nullus
locus
est
,
quo
non
possit
Fortuna
prosequi
,
yes
,
heere
shee
cannot
:
this
place
is
diuine
,
and
immortall
,
and
shee
commaunds
ouer
nothing
that

not
sensible
:
for
the

Vitij

:
Beholde
this
woorkeman
who
hath
made
vs
so
contrary
to
vice
,
as
wee
neuer
taste
her
,
but
shee
riseth
in
our
stomackes
,
and
checkes
our
Intemperancy
.
Here
are
the
best
motions
that
the

the
Body
,
shee
erreth
not
from
her
Diuinitie
to

thus
charitable
for
her self
,
and
her
Companion
:
there
is
no
Diuinitie
so
easie
to
be
comprehended
by
our
sences
,
neither
is
there
any
that
carries
more
terrour
with
it

When

Of

MY
custome
is
about

so

This
Sleepe
is
to
me
in
the
nature
that
Dung
is

,
it
makes
the

Apprehension
more

it

not

,
and
pleasant
,
and
I
am
glad
of
it
,
for
I
finde
my selfe
too
much
subiect
to
a
verball
quicknesse
:
thus
I
thinke
it
good
for
me
that
am
of
a
drye
barraine
mould
;
but
for
others
it
may
hap
to
make
them
too
waterish
:
the
cause
of
this
is
common
as
the
effect
,
yet
as
some
bodyes
are
more
subiect
to
it
then
others
,
so
meates
of
one
kinde
prouoke
it
more
then
another
.
This
makes
me
often
play
the
Epicure
,
making
my
stomack
a
coward
,
to
fight
with
Partridge
,
Phesant
,
and
such
fowle
,
whose
Airye
parts
are
more
fine
,
and
poyson
not
the
Braine
with
thick
vapours
.
These
foure-footed
Beafts
are
dull
and
grosse
,
and
so
is
what
proceeds
from
them
.
Well
,
for
my
part
I
will
put
away
this
sleepy
Humour
,
for
it
is
an
extreame
spender
.
When
I
come
at
the
end
of
a
weeke
to
reckon
how
I
haue
bestowed
it
,
in
that
seuen
Dayes
I
finde
nothing
,
but
Item
in
sleepe
,
Item
in
sleepe
:
And
in
the
end
Summa
totalis
,
seuen
nights
,
seuen
Afternoones
,
beside
halfe
houres
,
and
quarters
,
at
vnaccustomed
times
:
there
is
no
proportion
in
this
,
especially
to
bestowe
so
much
on
winking
.
I
cannot
blame
Alexander
though
he
misliked
it
,
and
held
that
,
and
Lust
,
the
Arguments
of
Mortalitie
:
If
he
had
vsed
eight
of
clock-houres
,
the
Persian
Empire
might
yet
haue
stood
.
Not
so
much
but
good
Husbands
hate
it
;
And
Pedantes
haue
made
it
a
mayne
supporter
of
their
instructions
.
I
would
liken
it
to
Death
,
but
that
it
is
more
terrible
,
for
it
is
Idlenesse
;
yet
thus
it
is
Death
,
for
it
killes
Eternitie
.
Fame
neuer
yet
knew
a
perpetuall
Bed-presser
.
Is
it
not
a
pittifull
thing
to
see
a
fellow
bestow
halfe
his
Patrimony
in
hobby-horses
?
then
pitty
all
them
,
who
hauing
but
a
little
time
,
dedicate
halfe
that
to
sleepe
.
But
this
is
the
effect
of
our
Bodies
,
who
in
despight
of
our
soules
Diuinitie
,
will
follow
their
naturall
Inclinations
,
to
lye
along
,
and
be
sencelesse
like
their
Earthly
Originall

19.
Of
Life
,
and
the
fashions
of
Life
.
THere
haue
beene
great
Contentions
about
my
Minde
,
and
my
Body
,
about
this
Argument
of
Life
;
they
are
both
very
obstinate
in
their
Desires
:
I
cannot
blame
them
,
for
which
so
euer
preuailes
,
depriues
the
other
of
the
greatest
Authority
.
My
Soule
extolles
Contemplation
,
and
perswades
me
that
way
;
my
Body
vnderstands
not
that
language
,
but
is
all
for
Action
.
He
tels
me
it
is
vnproper
,
being
of
the
world
,
not
to
liue
so
,
and
that
I
am
borne
to
my
Countrey
,
to
whom
imbracing
this
contemplatiue
life
I
am
vnprofitable
:
the
other
wants
not
reasons
forcible
,
and
celestiall
.
It
hath
beene
my
continuall
labour
to
worke
a
reconciliation
between
them
,
for
I
could
not
perfect
any
course
by
reason
of
this
Diuision
.
Earth
&
Heauen
cannot
be
made
one
,
therefore
impossible
to
ioyne
them
together
:
onely
thus
much
I
haue
done
,
they
are
content
I
shall
take
my
choise
.
All
this
time
I
was
not
Masterlesse
,
nor
idle
,
I
put
the
common
phrase
out
of
fashion
:
he
that
sayes
of
me
onely
,
He
liues
well
,
speakes
too
sparingly
of
me
:
for
I
liue
to
better
my
minde
,
and
to
cure
my
body
of
his
Innate
diseases
.
I
must
choose
the
Actiue
course
,
my
birth
commaunds
me
to
that
:
I
am
set
aboue
many
other
in
the
Herralds
bookes
,
not
to
sit
●ighest
at
a
Table
,
nor
to
be
worshipped
with
caps
and
knees
,
but
to
haue
a
care
of
my
countrey
.
The
aduancer
of
my
House
first
did
certainely
see
some
worth
in
my
predecessours
meete
to
gouerne
,
or
at
least
wise
to
be
an
example
to
lower
degrees
,
to
that
end
they
were
erected
higher
then
ordinarie
,
that
euery
eye
might
behold
them
:
If
their
blood
were
refined
by
the
Prince
on
that
condition
,
if
I
pay
it
not
after
them
,
I
am
worthy
to
forfeite
it
.
I
will
then
religiously
obserue
the
dooing
my
Country
seruice
;
If
she
imploy
me
not
,
I
sinne
not
though
I
betake
my selfe
to
the
secret
betterer
of
mindes
,
Contemplation
:
Howsoeuer
,
I
must
begin
here
;
for
as
Nur●●es
Lectures
instruct
little
Children
by
seuerall
obiects
,
to
know
sensible
things
,
and
by
that
little
giue
them
the
knowledge
of
a
Boy
:
Being
past
that
Age
,
and
come
to
the
new
life
of
a
man
,
Philosophy
must
then
be
his
Nurse
:
and
as
his
first
institution
taught
him
words
,
and
to
distinguish
of
things
by
words
this
teacheth
him
the
meaning
of
those
,
and
to
distinguish
things
by
Reason
:
he
receiued
first
single
obiects
by
the
intelligence
of
the
sences
:
In
that
time
hee
learned
to
speake
,
the
Schoolemaster
taught
him
to
put
together
,
and
to
inlarge
his
building
,
he
made
him
capable
of
vniuersalities
,
and
the
highest
knowledges
.

It
is
so
,
he
gouernes
by
gesse
that
is
not
a
Philosopher
,
he
is
a
daungerous
states-man
:
for
when
vncontrowled
Affections
meete
with
a
high
fortune
,
they
beget
Tyrannie
and
Oppression
.
I
haue
not
then
altogether
lost
my
time
,
I
haue
beene
adorning
my
house
within
:
It
is
my
Desire
not
to
haue
it
lye
slouenly
,
I
make
it
ready
for
Ghests
,
that
is
for
Imployment
;
if
they
come
not
,
it
is
no
matter
,
it
shall
be
the
better
for
my selfe
to
liue
in
.
I
care
not
though
some
nice
Brainestaxe
me
of
Immodestie
,
for
protesting
my selfe
thus
desirous
to
do
my
Countrey
seruice
:
my
Soule
can
witnesse
for
me
,
it
is
no
particular
Loue
:
thankes
be
to
God
,
I
know
not
much
of
want
,
neither
desire
I
Riches
:
I
am
borne
to
sufficient
.
It
is
true
,
I
thirst
after
Honour
,
and
would
be
glad
to
leaue
my
House
some
testimonie
I
haue
not
beene
vnprofitable
that
way
,
which
may
be
purchased
in
an
honest
quiet
life
,
aswell
as
in
the
other
.
I
am
afraid
of
nothing
,
but
that
in
this
contemplatiue
life
I
should
be
thought
idle
,
and
in
eschewing
company
,
to
be
of
Domitians
●ect
,
a
Fly-catcher
.
We
Gentlemen
are
very
subiect
to
this
,
therefore
it
is
not
Iealousie
but
Prouidence
in
me
to
suspect
:
we
are
indeed
generally
slothfull
,
our
contention
is
not
which
is
the
most
honorable
life
,
but
which
affordes
most
pleasure
.
So
doth
the
patrimony
of
our
Auncestours
(
which
rightly
vnderstood
,
will
giue
vs
aduantage
ouer
men
)
destroy
vs
.
I
cannot
blame
a
Begger
,
though
he
thinke
more
of
his
Dinner
,
then
of
the
definition
of
Fortitude
,
or
the
purchase
of
Glory
:
he
is
violently
haled
to
the
vpholding
of
his
body
:
nor
is
it
an
ill
commendation
for
a
Ploughman
,
to
bee
sayd
to
bee
a
prouident
man
for
the
world
,
and
to
haue
a
care
to
keepe
his
familie
from
staruing
:
but
to
him
that
already
hath
inough
to
defend
him
from
basenesse
,
and
mi●ery
,
shall
he
onely
eate
,
and
drinke
,
and
make
an
euen
reckoning
at
the
yeares
end
?
Fye
,
it
is
baser
then
basenesse
:
No
,
let
him
purchase
Honour
to
his
house
.
Me
thinkes
Fathers
should
giue
their
Sonnes
this
Counsaile
,
and
it
is
oddes
but
they
doe
:
If
not
,
sure
they
thinke
it
,
&
would
haue
them
finde
it
out
.
I
am
afraid
our
much
Eating
,
and
litle
Exercise
,
is
the
cause
of
this
our
lowe
flying
,
and
heauinesse
:
our
many
Crudities
send
vp
dull
heauy
vapours
,
that
makes
vs
like
better
of
a
bed
,
then
of
a
saddle
.
I
would
wee
were
Ambitious
:
I
wish
for
vs
,
as
for
a
slouenly
Boye
of
mine
owne
,
whom
I
perswaded
to
pride
,
thereby
to
escape
the
contrary
;
if
I
could
haue
obtained
,
I
would
haue
thought
to
haue
shauen
off
his
pride
in
a
small
time
,
and
left
him
onely
cleanlinesse
.
I
know
Ambition
to
be
a
fault
,
but
they
that
will
not
vnder-go
Actions
for
Vertues
sake
,
will
for
Ambitions
.
I
would
propound
Fame
,
Greatnes
,
Honour
,
Estimation
:
for
wading
to
finde
these
,
we
may
happly
meete
with
Honesty
,
Temperance
,
Fortitude
,
and
Patience
:
so
must
ill
stomacks
haue
wholsome
things
couered
ouer
:
let
them
be
sweete
on
Gods
name
,
so
that
the
pleasantnesse
take
not
away
the
good
operation
.
The
next
diuision
after
this
choise
,
is
to
aduise
and
execute
:
my
knowledge
of
these
is
by
reading
,
not
by
experience
,
yet
did
I
once
touch
at
the
baye
of
Armes
,
but
so
short
was
my
stay
,
that
I
trust
more
to
my
reading
then
to
my
Experience
.
Plutarches
Liues
are
aboundantly
stored
with
men
of
both
kindes
.
I
allowe
well
of
the
Consull
Cicero
;
his
wit
and
feare
preuented
a
daungerous
conspiracie
:
but
yet
I
am
much
more
rauished
with
the
liues
of
Alexander
,
Caesar
,
and
fellowes
of
that
kinde
,
Me
thinkes
it
becomes
a
Counsellour
well
to
act
his
Aduice
,
it
agreeeth
with
reason
,
for
he
vnderstands
well
what
should
be
done
when
it
comes
from
himselfe
.
There
is
a
braue
satisfaction
in
a
minde
that
conuerseth
with
Daunger
;
hee
dooth
rightly
serue
his
Countrey
,
whose
Body
executeth
what
his
wisdome
plotteth
.
Sometimes
when
I
haue
read
the
life
of
Cicero
,
I
thinke
him
a
good
Oratour
,
he
deserued
his
fee
:
but
Caesar
is
so
much
beholding
to
me
,
that
I
put
him
on
,
and
all
the
time
I
am
reading
of
him
,
his
happinesse
is
mine
,
his
daunger
is
mine
:
when
I
am
out
of
my
dreame
with
comming
to
,
Et
tu
Brute
,
I
should
be
very
sorry
this
imagination
could
last
no
longer
,
but
that
not
being
my selfe
,
I
may
without
Ostentation
commend
him
,
O
Caesar
worthy
of
an
eternall
memory
,
and
of
neuer
ending
praises
.
Reading
these
liues
I
am
inflamed
,
my
thoughts
soare
high
,
and
I
am
sorry
I
cannot
carry
my
Body
to
that
pitch
.
When
I
heare
of
any
famous
Action
of
our
time
,
I
suffer
with
Themistocles
,
it
takes
away
my
sleepe
,
not
with
Enuie
,
but
with
an
honest
Emulation
.
I
desire
to
robbe
no
man
of
his
Glory
,
but
to
participate
with
Experience
:
well
it
pleaseth
not
my
Destiny
,
I
hope
it
will
do
,
that
's
my
Comfort
:
In
the
meane
time
I
will
see
Battailes
in
Imagination
,
and
reade
them
,
since
I
may
not
be
in
them
.
Essay

20.
Of
Imitation
.
THe
first
times
had
a
great
aduantage
of
vs
;
all
came
from
them
we
must
now
say
,
because
they
got
the
start
,
spake
before
vs
,
and
liued
before
vs
.
In
trueth
I
thinke
they
were
more
industrious
;
for
out
of
their
naturall
wits
,
and
obseruations
,
they
founded
Arts
,
and
Sciences
,
in
which
they
were
much
more
profound
then
latter
times
,
though
we
are
assisted
by
their
trauailes
,
and
know
whither
we
should
goe
,
and
how
to
go
by
their
methodicall
courses
.
We
must
lay
the
fault
to
Couetousnes
,
and
Pleasure
,
with
whose
inticements
we
are
diuerted
,
so
that
wee
choose
now
rather
to
be
rich
men
,
then
wise
men
:
In
these
trades
they
haue
not
outrun
vs
,
our
times
may
safely
brag
with
them
,
that
we
haue
hunted
out
more
fashions
to
please
the
senses
,
and
to
get
riches
:
the
age
after
vs
,
that
shall
see
both
,
must
be
our
Iudges
,
who
,
I
am
afraid
,
will
determine
the
times
of
old
,
times
begetting
Philosophers
&
wi●e
men
,
ours
an
Age
of
Cookes
and
Taylours
.
I
wonder
not
that
Vertue
is
so
out
of
regard
:
for
wee
imitate
nothing
but
what
wee
see
.
Plato
his
Socrates
,
and
Xenophon
his
Cyrus
,
are
things
to
bee
talked
of
,
not
to
bee
worne
.
I
should
bee
sorrie
for
our
tymes
,
(
but
that
it
is
out
of
fashion
to
be
sorrowfull
for
others
)
to
see
how
willingly
we
put
on
all
habits
sauing
Vertues
:
Our
haire
shall
go
off
,
or
on
,
as
occasion
serues
,
we
will
pull
our
browes
,
and
indure
any
paine
to
imitate
the
fashion
,
but
not
intertaine
the
least
Vertue
,
though
she
offer
her selfe
,
and
would
be
ours
with
lesse
paines
and
expence
.
All
this
time
we
are
free
from
imitation
,
yea
from
following
the
good
,
but
in
the
apish
kinde
we
are
exact
:
for
a
new
Congye
,
or
protestation
we
swallow
presently
,
and
the
fashions
of
our
Apparell
runne
among
vs
like
a
Plague
.
I
obserue
a
people
that
will
tell
you
where
they
were
last
,
by
their
behauiour
,
and
table-talke
,
as
well
as
vpon
the
inwardest
acquaintance
:
If
he
hath
but
seene
Cāllis
,
he
cryes
out
of
the
English
Beere
,
and
that
with
a
shrug
,
and
shaking
of
the
head
,
as
if
he
knew
more
than
he
durst
vtter
.
A
yeare
in
Italy
makes
him
forget
his
English
,
and
speake
it
broken
,
and
●●ping
:
they
runne
away
with
all
villanous
customes
,
and
thinke
it
fine
to
talke
of
Ciulia
and
Lucretia
the
famous
Curtizans
.
Me
thinkes
these
fellowes
are
like
Suc●●-balles
,
that
carry
away
part
of
the
Durt
they
are
rowled
vpon
.
These
are
base
Imitations
begotten
betweene
the
sences
,
and
the
fantasie
,
bastards
vnknowne
to
the
inward
true
discerning
soule
.
There
are
another
kinde
that
will
holde
their
necks
awry
with
Alexander
,
these
are
not
wanton
but
subtile
Apes
,
which
seeke
to
creep
into
Princes
,
and
great
men
,
with
putting
on
their
Habits
,
they
are
the
dāgeroussest
flatterers
.
Come
,
I
will
make
an
end
with
these
fantastickes
,
they
go
against
my
stomack
,
they
are
worse
then
Onions
,
I
can
commend
them
for
nothing
:
sometimes
perhaps
the
stuffe
they
weare
is
good
,
and
the
stockings
,
and
the
hat
,
and
the
rest
,
all
sauing
the
man
:
they
are
like
Hatters
blocks
,
that
weare
what
is
worthier
then
themselues
.
But
now
to
a
worthier
subiect
,
I
will
not
reiect
Imitation
,
yet
I
will
hardly
imitate
any
man
liuing
,
especially
in
things
apparantly
his
,
as
his
Behauiour
,
&
accustomed
Phrases
:
In
vertue
it
is
very
lawfull
,
for
that
is
neither
his
,
nor
mine
;
it
carryes
no
marke
of
any
owner
,
but
of
the
reall
possessour
of
Eternity
,
whom
if
we
could
imitate
in
the
least
perfection
,
we
were
blessed
.
There
are
a
great
sort
past
,
as
woorthy
as
any
liuing
,
among
whom
I
will
choose
some
one
,
by
whom
I
would
be
most
gouerned
,
yet
not
in
all
things
,
for
I
would
not
licence
my selfe
to
put
on
his
imperfections
:
I
haue
too
many
of
mine
owne
that
were
borne
with
me
,
I
haue
no
neede
of
his
:
but
when
he
speakes
well
,
and
vertuously
,
I
would
thinke
he
speakes
to
me
,
and
do
my
endeuour
to
execute
his
Aduice
:
the
Actions
performed
by
him
I
hold
like
the
Vaulters
Instructions
done
first
to
shew
me
how
to
performe
them
with
greatest
facilitie
.
We
are
beholding
to
times
past
,
they
haue
shewed
vs
the
ends
of
all
Courses
,
we
may
know
Vertues
and
Vices
,
as
liuely
by
their
Example
,
as
Lycurgus
taught
it
the
Lacedemonians
in
the
persons
of
their
Ephori
,
and
the
Hel●●s
their
slaues
.
If
I
finde
my
strength
able
to
follow
one
of
these
,
and
to
get
honest
Vertues
by
Heart
,
I
will
take
out
a
new
lesson
,
and
buy
some
perfections
of
others
,
wherein
he
was
wanting
.
Thus
is
Imitation
innobled
,
and
well
becomes
the
worthyest
:
so
shall
he
enioy
abundance
,
when
he
hath
his
owne
store
multiplyed
with
gathering
from
the
stored
with
Vertue
.

Of
Behauiour

PHilosophies
strictest
Inquisition
of
the
Soule
,
dooth
not
more
liuely
expresse
her
then
Behauiour
:
for
hers
are
Notions
darke
,
and
obscure
,
too
heauy
for
euery
head
to
carry
away
,
but
this
giues
our
sences
a
sight
of
that
Diuinity
,
and
is
the
very
picture
of
the
inward
minde
.
Here
may
be
read
the
differences
of
men
,
and
a
short
obseruation
shall
tell
thee
as
much
as
a
long
conference
:
It
can
be
no
other
then
a
shadow
of
the
soule
,
such
a
sweetnesse
it
carryes
with
it
,
so
much
comlinesse
,
so
much
contentment
.
The
Bodyes
respect
is
ouerthrowne
by
this
euidence
,
let
his
Beauties
be
neuer
so
excellent
,
if
not
assisted
by
Behauiour
,
they
turne
all
to
Disgraces
,
&
his
whitenesse
dooth
nothing
but
make
his
spottes
more
visible
.
Contrarily
,
I
haue
seene
deformed
Bodyes
,
and
ill
fauoured
Countenances
,
highly
in
mens
estimations
,
and
dearely
beloued
,
being
accompanied
with
a
handsome
,
and
discreet
gouernment
.
This
cannot
be
performed
exactly
,
if
the
Soules
power
,
and
Discourse
be
not
regarded
,
which
makes
me
thinke
the
bodies
thus
happy
,
substances
of
Christall
transparent
.
When
I
meete
with
a
dull
fellow
that
hath
no
other
testimony
of
his
being
awake
,
but
that
his
eyes
are
open
,
I
determine
him
a
fellow
dro●ned
in
●legme
,
and
puddle
:
for
any
thing
I
know
he
hath
no
soule
,
for
there
appeares
nothing
but
a
durty
peece
of
flesh
.
At
me
cum
legcris
etiam
formosa
videbor
Saith
the
Poet
:
this
is
to
be
compleate
when
the
eye
shall
be
satisfied
,
and
the
soule
not
displeased
.
There
is
hardly
another
thing
so
absolute
,
as
to
be
able
to
giue
them
both
intertainement
together
.
Of
Particularities
(
me
thinkes
)
Courtesie
chalengeth
the
chiefe
place
,
and
would
be
dispatched
first
:
truely
among
all
other
vertues
,
except
it
be
Liberality
,
I
know
none
rewarded
by
men
but
this
,
and
if
for
nothing
else
,
me
thinkes
it
should
be
esteemed
for
the
present
paiment
:
It
payes
a
great
sort
,
and
is
neuer
the
poorer
,
satisfies
euery
man
,
and
lessens
not
the
stocke
:
It
is
the
true
Character
of
a
good
natured
Discretion
,
and
so
powerfull
,
as
the
shadow
of
it
hath
raised
many
men
to
great
fortunes
:
but
that
's
the
abuse
.
I
would
Vertue
would
put
away
Patience
,
and
become
chollerick
,
and
reuenge
:
she
neuer
had
more
cause
,
being
made
a
Bawde
to
herselfe
.
Euery
man
musters
himselfe
in
the
band
of
Vertue
,
when
there
is
any
pay
to
be
taken
,
but
at
the
day
of
battaile
(
except
it
be
some
fellow
out
of
a
hole
)
she
hath
not
a
follower
.
I
mislike
not
a
common
Affability
,
so
it
reserue
the
state
of
the
party
,
for
otherwise
it
is
not
humility
,
it
is
basenesse
.
I
owe
vnto
euery
man
a
Salutation
,
and
likewise
my
Cap
,
but
not
familiarity
,
except
I
be
sure
his
worthinesse
deserues
it
I
betray
my selfe
.
There
is
a
certaine
maiesty
in
Behauiour
well-becomming
,
without
pride
,
or
Affectation
,
for
they
spoile
all
,
the
least
dram
of
them
makes
all
taste
of
Indiscretion
:
no
,
this
is
the
naturall
Garde
of
Vertue
,
the
fortification
to
resist
basenesse
,
and
to
keepe
out
sawcy
incrochers
.
We
must
not
be
carelesse
of
these
outward
matters
,
but
seeke
to
make
them
compleate
,
yet
there
is
an
inward
thing
which
vnlesse
it
be
added
to
this
,
makes
all
this
to
be
nothing
.
A
Schoole-master
had
in
his
place
of
Exercise
a
Glasse
,
wherein
he
caused
his
Schollers
to
behold
themselues
;
If
they
were
faire
,
&
handsome
,
he
would
tell
them
what
pittie
it
was
,
such
goodly
bodyes
should
be
possessed
with
defectiue
mindes
:
If
foule
,
and
ill-fauoured
,
that
they
might
make
their
bodyes
faire
with
dressing
their
mindes
handsomely
;
this
was
somewhat
too
good
for
a
Pedant
:
my
Application
;
If
his
behauiour
be
good
,
the
adorning
his
minde
doubles
that
Excellency
:
if
ill
,
it
will
make
it
good
,
when
your
minde
performeth
what
your
body
promiseth
not
.
It
is
without
exception
,
when
the
Actions
of
the
body
are
lighted
by
the
gift●
of
the
minde
.
I
allow
not
too
lauish
a
discourse
;
it
is
as
if
one
meant
to
sell
himselfe
:
he
that
will
still
talke
,
aduentureth
himselfe
too
much
;
It
is
not
valour
but
foole-hardinesse
,
he
depraues
himselfe
of
obseruation
.
It
were
good
in
this
to
imitate
cunning
shop-keepers
,
who
●hew
their
ware
in
a
halfe
light
.
Vpon
occasion
I
would
speake
,
but
niggardly
,
and
rather
starue
then
surfet
my
Auditory
.
Auoide
Affectation
,
and
loue
Vertue
,
and
for
outward
gestures
if
those
naturally
yours
be
not
deformed
,
change
them
not
,
for
they
sit
you
best
.
The
gifts
of
the
minde
are
not
so
easily
obtained
,
these
you
must
purchase
with
paine
,
and
difficulty
;
and
great
reason
,
for
it
were
pitty
such
preciousnesse
might
be
had
for
the
taking
.

22.
Of
Alehouses
.
I
Write
this
in
an
Alehouse
,
into
which
I
am
driuen
by
night
,
which
would
not
giue
me
leaue
to
finde
out
an
honester
harbour
.
I
am
without
any
Company
but
Inke
and
Paper
,
and
them
I
vse
in
stead
of
talking
to
my selfe
:
my
Hoste
hath
already
giuen
me
his
knowledge
,
but
I
am
little
bettered
,
I
am
now
trying
whether
my selfe
be
his
better
in
discretion
.
The
first
note
here
is
to
see
how
honestly
euery
place
speakes
,
and
how
ill
euery
man
liues
:
not
a
Poste
,
nor
a
painted
cloth
in
the
house
,
but
cryes
out
,
Feare
God
,
and
yet
the
Parson
of
the
Towne
scarce
keepes
this
Instruction
.
It
is
a
straunge
thing
how
men
bely
themselues
:
euery
one
speakes
well
,
and
meanes
n●ughtily
.
They
cry
out
if
man
with
man
breake
his
word
,
and
yet
no
Body
keepes
promise
with
Vertue
.
But
why
should
these
Inferiours
be
blamed
,
since
the
noblest
professions
are
become
base
?
Their
Instructions
rest
in
the
Example
of
higher
fortunes
,
and
they
are
blinde
,
and
lead
men
into
sensualitie
.
Me
thinkes
a
drunken
Cobler
,
and
a
meere
hawking
Gentleman
ranke
equally
,
both
end
their
pursuites
with
pleasing
their
sences
,
this
the
eye
,
the
other
the
Taste
.
What
differs
scraping
misery
from
a
false
Cheatour
?
the
directour
of
both
is
Couetousnesse
,
and
the
end
Gaine
.
Lastly
courting
of
a
Mistresse
,
and
buying
of
a
Whore
are
somewhat
like
,
the
end
of
both
is
Luxury
.
Perhaps
the
one
speakes
more
finely
,
but
they
both
meane
plainly
.
I
haue
beene
thus
seeking
differences
,
and
to
distinguish
of
places
,
I
am
faine
to
flye
to
the
signe
of
an
Ale-house
,
and
to
the
stately
comming
in
of
greater
houses
.
For
Men
,
Titles
and
Clothes
,
not
their
liues
,
and
Actions
helpe
me
:
so
were
they
all
naked
,
and
banished
from
the
Heralds
books
,
they
are
without
any
euidence
of
preheminence
,
and
their
soules
cannot
defend
them
from
Community

Of
Affectation

AFfectation

Extremities
:
Man
is
allowed
onely
the
middle
way
,
he
strayeth
when
he
affects
,
his
Errour
is
punished
with
Deformity
,
whatsoeuer
he
performeth
thus
,
becomming
disgraceful
and
vncomely
.
There
is
not
any
in
this
kinde
to
be
pardoned
,
euen
the
open
affecting
of
vertue
turnes
into
Hipocrisie
,
and
makes
him
seeme
rather
as
if
he
played
Vertue
then
possessed
it
.
The
ordering
of
the
body
,
if
it
be
subiect
to
this
A
pish
Imitation
is
wholy
disordered
:
for
his
inward
Directour
is
disobeyed
,
and
forced
contrary
to
it
excellent
natu●e
to
become
base
,
and
to
borrow
.
The
excellent
Artisan
that
made
all
,
gaue
all
his
Children
portions
of
qualities
befitting
them
,
as
Heate
to
Fire
,
Moisture
to
Water
,
Trees
to
be
plentifull
Mothers
,
and
Hearbes
to
haue
an
healing
ability
:
should
these
fall
to
affecting
,
and
to
like
others
Qualities
better
then
their
owne
,
what
a
confusion
would
it
beget
?
how
much
wrong
to
the
workeman
?
Thus
is
it
with
vs
:
Euery
Soule
casts
a
colour
vpon
the
Body
suteable
to
it
owne
nature
,
not
like
our
common
colours
which
will
endure
a
second
Dye
,
but
which
at
first
is
naturally
in
graine
.
Euery
one
in
truth
is
fitted
by
nature
,
whose
fashion
if
he
likes
not
,
but
wil
choose
rather
to
weare
other
mens
cast
clothes
;
it
is
pitty
the
Admiration
hee
affects
should
not
be
turned
into
laughter
.
I
haue
seene
some
seely
creatures
that
haue
had
the
extremity
of
this
disease
in
words
,
but
what
hath
beene
the
end
?
alas
they
haue
deliuerd
Prisoners
that
haue
turnd
Traitours
,
and
instantly
betrayed
them
to
Derision
.
For
my
part
I
thinke
generally
it
ought
to
be
shunned
,
and
if
euer
I
were
subiect
to
any
Affectation
,
it
was
not
at
all
to
affect
,
in
which
I
haue
beene
so
precise
,
that
I
haue
beene
afraide
to
weare
fashions
,
vntill
they
haue
beene
ayred
by
a
generall
vse
.
Let
no
man
thinke
this
mislike
barres
my
allowance
of
inriching
my selfe
by
the
example
of
the
Vertuous
:
no
,
the
best
may
want
,
if
hee
bee
onely
stored
by
his
owne
meditation
.
Bookes
,
&
men
are
both
good
Instructours
,
those
we
must
read
and
obserue
:
but
when
that
is
done
,
to
make
our
reading
,
and
obseruation
no
longer
theirs
▪
but
our
owne
.
I
haue
noted
a
People
content
inwardly
to
be
so
humble
as
to
weare
cast
Apparell
,
but
for
the
outward
satisfaction
they
would
alter
,
and
trim
them
to
defend
them
from
being
knowne
,
and
so
fit
them
to
their
bodyes
,
thogh
before
they
were
too
wide
:
Thus
must
they
do
that
desire
to
be
adorned
with
knowledge
,
and
iudgement
,
and
vertue
.
Whatsoeuer
I
read
,
I
vnderstand
it
not
,
if
my
Disgestion
makes
it
not
naturally
mine
:
Thus
it
becommeth
men
,
and
makes
the
constitution
of
the
minde
strong
▪
and
faire
,
and
worthy
of
allowance
,
if
not
of
Admiration

,
I
thinke
Fantasticknesse
lent
wisdome
Pollicy
at
that
time
.
The
Graecians
were
too
strict
in
this
,
not
permitting
a
Graecian
to
differ
in
the
least
thing
that
might
be
,
from
a
Grecian
:
wherevpon
an
Ambassadour
of
theirs
,
sent
to
the
Persians
,
was
called
to
a
straight
account
,
because
he
kept
Cowes
for
their
Milke
,
and
learned
to
lye
soft
.
In
many
things
(
as
in
this
)
Custome
is
a
thing
Indifferent
,
and
things
indifferent
receyuing
their
life
from
light
Grounds
;
Euery
countrey
hath
some
peculiar
to
it selfe
,
by
which
when
we
are
there
,
we
ought
to
be
ruled
.
Demetrius
fantasticknesse
was
not
so
safe
,
when
he
made
his
Mantle
,
or
Cloake
,
full
of
Starres
with
the
Sunne
,
and
the
Moone
,
rich
,
and
so
full
of
state
,
that
none
of
his
successours
durst
aduenture
on
the
like
,
being
infinitely
misliked
by
his
Souldiours
.
But
Anthony
neuer
sped
better
,
then
when
his
Attire
differed
not
from
the
common
Souldiours
,
which
might
be
thought
fantasticknesse
,
for
not
going
according
to
his
degree
.
Time
in
it selfe
is
alwayes
one
,
but
Occasion
runs
Diuision
vpon
Time
,
her
note
is
not
alwayes
one
,
which
ought
to
be
noted
by
them
which
are
not
negligent
of
their
Time
.
A
King
of
the
Parthians
(
of
whom
Tacitus
makes
mention
)
being
deposed
,
comes
after
in
the
sight
of
his
People
,
poore
,
and
forlorne
,
and
thereby
mooued
pitty
.
But
Pompey
with
a
fortun●
no
lesse
vnfortunate
,
came
for
succour
to
the
Egiptians
,
and
thereby
lost
his
head
.
Thus
different
are
the
dispositions
of
men
;
thus
contrary
fall
out
courses
,
though
for
a
great
space
together
they
runne
all
one
way
.
I
haue
seene
fellowes
kisse
their
hand
so
continually
,
that
their
hand
in
the
end
hath
come
to
make
no
difference
betweene
a
Lady
,
and
her
Dairy-maide
:
〈◊〉
your
seruice
,
hath
beene
so
co●uersant
,
as
one
asking
,
what
's
a
Clock
?
first
came
a
kisse
on
the
hand
,
next
,
At
your
seruice
,
and
lastly
the
houre
:
do
you
not
thinke
Nature
had
done
this
fellow
a
good
turne
,
to
haue
made
him
without
hands
,
or
tongue
?
for
so
his
head
might
haue
liued
〈◊〉
condemned
.
There
are
some
that
neuer
see
great
assembly
without
as
certaine
a
bringing
home
of
a
new
grace
,
as
Clownes
of
Ginger-bread
from
a
Faire
,
making
their
lims
Rogues
without
an
abiding
place
:
In
the
end
Fantasticknesse
lyes
with
custome
,
and
gets
her
with
Childe
of
a
Thumbe
vnder
the
Girdle
,
or
crossed
Armes
,
or
one
hand
before
,
and
another
behinde
.
Barre
some
fellow
from
chewing
a
stick
,
and
he
is
as
vtterly
vnfurnished
as
a
House
without
stuffe
;
In
what
case
would
this
fellow
be
in
a
Champion
countrey
,
where
wood
must
not
be
so
wantonly
bestowed
?
being
without
his
feaking
stick
,
he
is
without
himselfe
:
A
dangerous
Companion
,
he
will
gna●e
him
that
stands
next
him
,
if
he
find
him
not
Timber
.
But
if
this
Fantasticknesse
fall
once
to
grow
inwardly
,
the
cooling
it
with
Time
,
the
ministring
counsell
,
the
letting
blood
with
Aduersity
will
not
serue
,
but
in
spight
of
wisdom
,
and
gray
haires
,
it
will
daunce
at
three
score
yeares
olde
,
and
weare
Greene
,
and
play
with
a
Feather
,
and
then
it
is
monstrous
,
and
ridiculous
without
Hope
,
or
Pitty
.
I
can
remember
no
sight
more
offensiue
to
me
then
a
variable
old
man
,
that
can
speake
of
nothing
but
the
fashions
of
his
Time
,
the
wench
then
in
price
,
how
many
hacks
he
hath
had
in
his
Buckler
in
a
Fleete-streete
fray
,
or
the
friskes
of
the
Italian
Tumblers
.
I
beginne
now
to
suspect
the
time
in
the
which
he
liued
,
that
it
was
barren
of
all
things
worthy
of
note
,
hoping
in
Charity
,
that
if
there
had
beene
better
,
he
would
haue
made
better
choyse
,
and
not
haue
made
his
memory
woorse
then
a
Brokers
Shop
,
full
onely
of
the
cast
skinnes
of
Times
past
.
Whether
he
neede
it
,
or
no
,
I
would
not
haue
Age
without
a
staffe
in
his
hand
:
I
like
not
a
long
Graye
beard
,
and
a
sworde
,
me
thinkes
he
should
trust
more
to
his
wisdome
then
to
his
hands
.
In
a
word
,
after
twice
shauing
,
at
the
third
,
Fantasticknesse
is
to
be
abandoned
,
for
it
is
Time
to
put
the
wit
to
Schole
,
and
to
leaue
playing
with
these
vndisgested
Apes
of
the
Fancie
,
to
trust
to
Vertue
,
not
to
a
French
Doublet
:
If
we
do
thus
,
it
is
no
harme
to
haue
beene
once
otherwise
,
for
so
we
know
what
it
is
to
be
otherwayes
,
and
may
helpe
those
that
are
yet
out
of
the
way
.
Thus
hath
my
Fancy
thought
on
this
Childe
of
Fancy
,
which
the
hath
vttered
,
as
some
an
Oration
long
since
gotten
by
Heart
:
this
she
hath
knowne
her selfe
,
and
who
beleeues
not
,
i●
he
be
not
past
feeling
,
Time
wil
make
him
know
by
himselfe
.
Essay

25.
Of
Fame
.
AS
Conceits
come
into
my
Head
I
vtter
them
,
for
what
is
naturally
mine
,
carries
:
with
it
rather
a
heauy
Substance
,
then
any
rich
Qualitie
:
I
haue
daily
to
do
with
more
happy
brains
,
whom
I
holde
worthyer
of
a
place
in
my
memory
.
I
thought
last
of
Fame
,
and
my
Thoughts
haue
ridden
(
as
I
thinke
)
ouer
her
whole
circuite
;
what
I
haue
seene
in
my
trauaile
,
I
will
trust
this
peece
of
paper
with
,
and
so
ridde
my
braine
of
that
cariage
.
Humours
,
and
Affections
our
manu-mised
slaues
,
haue
a
great
hand
ouer
vs
,
they
place
and
displace
at
their
pleasures
;
Reason
carries
but
the
name
of
Authority
,
this
makes
such
strange
Occupations
in
the
world
,
such
sweatings
,
and
striuings
,
in
the
Discouery
of
things
neuer
found
before
.
I
holde
Couetousnesse
a
vice
bad
enough
in
Conscience
,
for
the
best
they
can
say
for
themselues
,
is
but
that
they
imitate
the
Ant
,
a
seely
creature
,
made
by
Nature
without
candle-light
,
imperfect
,
among
those
whom
the
Philosophers
call
Insecta
Animalia
:
yet
they
are
able
to
yeeld
a
reason
for
their
scraping
,
they
will
say
they
may
want
.
The
seruants
of
Pleasure
,
and
the
worshippers
of
their
sences
,
though
they
liue
onely
to
powre
it
in
,
and
put
it
out
,
and
in
the
end
are
euery
way
vnprofitable
,
except
they
were
among
the
Canibals
,
who
loue
a
well-fed
morsell
of
Mans
flesh
:
yet
in
the
end
they
are
able
to
say
,
This
is
an
excellent
cup
of
wine
,
and
these
very
fat
and
good
Fowle
.
Nay
that
Camelion-like
occupation
that
blowes
the
coale
,
and
feedes
vpon
smoke
mingled
with
a
little
hope
,
is
in
much
better
case
then
this
humour
I
speake
of
,
for
though
he
cannot
take
away
that
leprosity
,
and
Imperfectnesse
that
keepes
base
Mettalles
from
being
the
best
:
yet
commonly
his
Distillations
,
and
Abstractions
,
make
him
a
perfect
Emperick
,
and
so
it
leaues
him
;
not
without
an
Occupation
,
though
it
drops
somewhat
short
of
his
purpose
.
But
Fames
Affectation
is
the
most
vnreasonable
thing
that
euer
was
;
when
one
hath
wrought
all
his
life
,
he
knowes
not
where
to
looke
for
his
hire
:
Euery
man
denyes
to
pay
vpon
compulsion
,
and
saith
he
may
bestowe
it
where
he
will
:
Nay
,
they
that
take
most
paines
,
are
kept
longest
without
it
.
Hath
not
a
Coblers
trade
ods
of
this
?
he
numbers
the
patches
,
and
modesty
restraineth
him
not
from
asking
a
penny
for
euery
patch
,
and
honesty
bindes
thrift
to
pay
it
.
This
inuisible
thing
hath
a
number-lesse
company
of
Disciples
:
All
that
loue
not
money
,
for
the
most
part
wooe
Fame
,
and
some
this
way
too
:
many
Dung-●●il
Bi●des
haue
maintained
in●●●●te
labours
,
assisted
onely
with
the
fame
of
making
their
sonnes
Gentlemen
.
As
diuerse
are
their
fashions
,
I
haue
seene
so●e
go
about
to
catch
Fame
in
a
caper
,
and
a
well
grac'd
Galliard
,
I
remember
Suetonius
mention
of
Nero
,
he
tooke
not
so
much
paines
for
any
thing
as
to
be
thought
a
good
Singer
,
and
who
affoorded
him
not
Glory
,
and
Admiration
in
that
kinde
,
hee
would
hardly
affoord
him
life
.
I
condemne
not
his
wanton
expences
,
and
inhumane
cruelties
more
then
this
,
that
hauing
the
power
of
disposing
the
most
famous
,
and
ample
Empire
of
the
world
,
a
stock
able
to
maintaine
Fame
richely
,
yet
to
f●ye
to
so
base
an
Eunuches
qualitie
for
Fame
.
Where
Humors
may
be
couered
vnder
the
hauing
no
Beard
,
I
mislike
it
not
so
much
,
Fame
serues
to
enter
the
Eyas
knowledge
of
man
,
who
cannot
catch
Vertue
at
the
first
flight
:
but
to
conuerse
with
Experience
,
and
then
to
cozen
our selues
of
the
familiarity
of
Vertue
with
accompanying
Fame
,
is
abominable
.
As
my
youth
hath
been
spotted
generally
with
entertaining
my
Affections
too
neerely
,
so
by
this
the
number
hath
beene
increased
,
and
I
may
safely
say
,
it
hath
beene
the
last
extraordinary
illnesse
that
I
haue
had
to
do
with
.
My
occupation
hath
beene
vehemently
bookish
;
I
haue
beene
counselled
by
Plato
and
Seneca
for
Philosophy
.
Writing
is
the
draught
of
reading
,
and
by
this
I
haue
disburthened
my
head
,
and
taken
account
of
my
pro●●iting
.
If
it
had
gone
no
further
,
it
had
beene
well
,
but
I
haue
beene
content
to
dilate
my selfe
too
much
:
It
hath
beene
my
Fortune
euer
yet
,
to
like
one
yeare
worse
then
another
,
and
this
fault
among
my
worldly
faults
lyes
heauiest
vpon
me
,
and
is
yet
the
last
.
Vt
iam
seruares
bene
corpus
adultera
mens
est
.
Since
I
haue
kept
my
body
from
madnesse
,
my
minde
hath
doted
,
I
thinke
it
is
with
ouer-much
ioy
,
that
it
hath
gotten
imployment
.
Among
my
readings
Philosophy
hath
made
me
honest
for
two
houres
after
,
and
I
thinke
I
could
haue
held
out
if
I
had
found
any
drawing
that
way
,
but
euery
man
is
so
busie
in
the
quest
of
Fame
,
that
they
neglect
the
desert
:
they
aske
which
way
she
went
,
but
not
how
she
went
.
History
hath
added
to
my
naturall
desire
of
louing
fame
:
I
was
there
set
a
fire
with
conuersing
with
braue
spirits
:
I
like
deeds
well
,
but
they
were
not
within
my
reache
,
and
so
I
sought
to
buy
what
my
stock
would
reache
to
:
though
I
cannot
clime
so
well
as
Caesar
,
yet
I
should
thinke
my selfe
happy
,
if
I
could
but
get
vp
to
his
Stile
:
But
he
was
a
Romane
borne
,
and
borne
vnder
a
climate
of
more
wit
:
we
are
so
colde
,
and
so
dull
,
that
we
thinke
of
nothing
beyond
the
compasse
of
our
inheritance
,
iust
like
the
Swissers
we
will
lose
no
ground
;
leaue
vs
in
durt
,
and
finde
vs
in
durt
.
The
Graecians
and
the
Romanes
were
Monarches
of
the
world
,
not
by
sitting
still
,
and
keeping
themselues
warme
,
but
Industry
,
and
Aduenture
were
the
wings
that
made
them
flye
high
.
We
will
aduenture
vpon
nothing
except
it
be
on
a
surfit
,
and
sixe
pence
at
Tables
.
I
wonder
why
we
estimate
our selues
so
preciously
,
or
keepe
our
limmes
so
carefully
,
except
we
haue
indented
with
our
churchyardes
,
not
to
coozen
them
of
any
part
or
parcell
of
the
said
Trunck
.
Since
we
are
so
stupified
,
it
is
well
we
liued
not
in
their
times
,
for
we
had
surely
gone
to
the
mill
:
our
bodyes
should
haue
beene
branded
with
the
markes
of
a
slaue
,
as
well
as
our
minds
are
with
the
deformitie
of
ignorant
Lazinesse
.
But
these
are
no
sutors
at
the
court
of
Fame
?
Yes
,
as
earnestly
as
Desarts
:
they
can
finde
Titles
as
fast
as
Herraldes
deuise
Armes
:
If
for
nothing
else
,
put
him
in
for
prouidence
,
and
for
leauing
as
much
to
his
sonne
as
his
father
left
him
.
Honour
is
to
be
bought
cheaper
then
with
blood
:
It
is
possible
to
haue
Titles
not
Honour
thus
,
for
Honour
is
vniuersall
,
and
runs
thorough
all
mouthes
,
and
inforceth
Enuy
,
and
Vice
,
to
doe
him
Iustice
,
and
to
giue
him
his
due
.
But
where
is
Caesar
,
Cato
,
Epaminondas
,
Alexander
,
Eumenes
,
and
the
rest
?
Dead
:
and
with
them
Desartes
;
their
names
are
inwrapped
in
Vertue
,
ours
of
this
sicke
Time
in
Fame
:
they
searched
for
Substance
,
we
for
Shadowes
,
they
should
be
our
Cognisances
,
for
we
are
walking
Ghostes
.
I
could
write
more
in
this
kinde
,
Vehemency
sharpens
my
Inuention
,
but
I
have
disclaimed
it
.
I
will
from
henceforth
follow
Vertue
silently
in
my
study
,
and
abandon
this
Impostour
Fame
,
as
a
Cheater
,
and
Pay-master
of
counterfeit
Coyne

TO

rest

HOnourable
friends
:
I
Number
it
amongst
your
many
fauours
,
the
protecting
mine
Idlenesse
,
for
I
cannot
confesse
them
labours
:
hee
gest
right
(
that
sayde
,
I
woulde
bee
glad
to
do
any
thing
that
might
be
acceptable
to
you
,
but
not
iudiciouslie
)
to
thinke
these
a
fit
present
,
for
they
are
too
light
for
your
grauities
,
and
too
meane
,
for
they
are
but
papers
:
I
had
as
lieue
leaue
gratefulnes
to
words
spoken
,
as
to
written
wordes
,
and
these
are
no
more
,
when
I
giue
,
or
serue
,
or
performe
any
of
these
offices
to
you
,
I
would
be
glad
,
they
should
be
armed
with
some
other
desartes
,
besides
the
Widdowes
mite
,
or
the
tale
of
the

26.
Of
Affection
.
THose
actions
that
receiue
not
their
commandements
from
a
deliberated
discourse
,
the
issue
of
reason
,
receiue
it
from
a
sympathising
with
things
,
the
issue
of
affection
,
whose
effects
though
not
vnnaturall
,
yet
very
vnreasonable
,
for
so
much
is
giuen
to
beasts
to
maintaine
like
with
,
but
to
man
is
giuen
reason
to
purchase
vertue
with
,
which
by
the
other
can
no
way
be
compassed
,
no
more
then
the
taste
,
taste
vertue
,
the
smell
,
smell
vertue
;
for
affection
brings
all
things
to
triall
by
the
sences
,
reason
carrieth
them
to
the
inquisition
of
the
soule
,
who
regardes
not
their
colours
,
nor
those
sensuall
qualities
,
but
makes
them
confesse
how
much
they
haue
of
Temperance
,
how
much
of
Fortitude
,
and
of
those
inwarde
qualities
of
the
minde
.
Doubtlesse
then
,
this
power
of
affection
carrieth
no
farther
grace
then
the
preseruation
of
life
,
which
regarded
no
farther
then
right
is
a
care
of
the
last
place
,
for
speaking
of
this
life
,
mee
thinks
there
is
no
other
thing
presented
to
our
view
,
then
some
handsome
Table
or
Picture
that
lookes
pertly
for
a
time
,
but
will
not
last
,
and
should
receiue
of
vs
in
exchange
a
contentment
of
the
present
state
,
and
a
determination
to
vse
it
to
the
best
purpose
whiles
we
haue
it
,
and
when
we
are
to
part
,
a
pacient
farewell
without
disturbance
or
feare
.
Omnia
mers
poscit
,
lex
est
,
non
poena
perire
.
We
are
taken
out
of
the
vniuersall
matter
of
Nature
,
and
made
man
,
highly
already
preferred
,
considering
our
fi●st
state
;
but
this
viewed
with
immortality
,
is
baser
in
comparison
,
then
the
first
,
to
the
second
.
This
life
is
but
a
Prentishood
,
the
freedom
immortality
,
&
mee
thinks
it
fittes
well
in
respect
of
the
ones
shortnesse
,
and
the
others
eternitie
,
life
being
but
like
a
Prentises
holy-day
,
but
more
neere
when
we
thinke
of
our
knowledges
which
are
here
impotent
and
defectiue
,
but
are
there
complete
and
full
,
all
things
appearing
there
vnmasked
,
and
the
borrowed
coulours
and
vaine
apparitions
of
Affection
beeing
withdrawne
,
those
vnlimmtied
and
rich
lights
of
the
minde
,
beholde
euerie
thing
in
the
right
proportion
,
all
the
deformities
and
misdemeanors
of
the
world
are
the
children
of
affection
,
which
bindes
vp
our
sight
in
darkenesse
,
and
leads
vs
blindfolded
:
from
hence
Opinion
,
which
is
the
destinated
censure
of
Affection
,
as
Iudgement
is
the
Soules
,
from
hence
proceedes
the
irresolution
of
our
thoughts
and
our
wauerings
,
and
changings
from
one
thing
to
another
;
for
Affection
,
likes
his
present
satisfaction
,
and
iudgeth
that
best
,
which
if
in
Opinion
bettered
,
he
changeth
his
sentence
,
and
so
not
able
to
penetrate
into
the
depth
of
things
,
is
euery
day
ready
for
a
new
impression
.
All
that
I
haue
heard
,
all
that
I
haue
read
,
all
that
by
any
meanes
hath
come
to
my
knowledge
performed
well
,
hath
beene
where
Reason
hath
made
Affection
his
seruant
:
contrariwise
,
destructions
,
dishonours
,
dangers
,
haue
beene
inforced
by
the
tyrannie
of
Pride
,
Disdaine
,
Hate
,
Selfe-loue
,
or
some
other
of
those
Affections
vnrestrained
:
so
can
I
fetch
Calamitie
from
none
other
originall
but
this
;
not
happinesse
but
from
the
depriuation
of
this
frailtie
.
Euen
that
honest
harmlesse
Affection
,
which
possesseth
Parents
towards
their
children
,
me
thinkes
whiles
they
are
yet
but
lumpes
of
flesh
,
and
things
without
all
merit
,
should
not
be
so
ardent
and
vehement
,
pitty
and
commiseration
fits
them
better
then
Loue
,
of
which
they
are
no
way
worthy
;
for
howsoeuer
we
abuse
loue
with
casting
it
away
vpon
trifles
,
yet
it
is
the
pretiousnesse
of
Loue
,
appointed
onely
to
attend
deserts
,
and
to
ioyne
no
peeces
together
that
are
not
of
this
kinde
;
but
it
is
well
that
Nature
hath
cast
the
extremitie
of
this
disease
vpon
mothers
,
it
becomes
them
not
so
ill
to
be
fond
as
men
,
besides
these
little
ones
being
their
charges
,
Affection
makes
them
more
carefull
,
and
so
it
is
for
those
first
yeares
neuer
the
worse
for
the
childe
,
whatsoeuer
it
is
for
the
mother
.
Iustice
being
for
example
,
and
no
more
destroying
a
common-wealth
then
the
husbandman
the
trees
with
executing
the
water
boughes
,
which
he
dooth
as
well
in
respect
of
their
vnprofitablenesse
,
as
also
to
shew
malefactors
in
a
glasse
their
owne
state
while
they
beholde
the
guiltie
vnder-going
the
seueritie
of
the
lawe
,
but
yet
the
creatures
bound
to
profit
others
with
their
owne
destruction
,
should
bee
picked
out
monsters
whose
natures
might
be
seene
incorrigible
,
and
those
of
whom
mercy
may
coniecture
amendment
,
to
be
spared
:
thus
in
the
ambiguitie
of
things
which
doubt
will
not
haue
resolued
,
mercy
may
haue
a
hand
.
Thus
commiseration
and
a
charitable
eye
to
the
distrested
,
all
which
though
they
leaue
more
to
affection
then
to
the
strictnesse
of
iustice
,
yet
must
we
so
farre
tolerate
them
,
for
so
God
lookes
vpon
vs
,
and
so
should
we
vpon
our
bretheren
,
being
all
borne
lame
,
which
fault
of
ours
if
it
were
punished
with
death
,
none
should
liue
;
yet
I
go
not
with
Montangnia
,
who
in
his
Essay
of
Crueltie
,
bribes
wit
to
take
part
with
commiseration
so
extreamly
and
so
womanish
as
not
to
indure
the
death
of
Birdes
and
Beasts
;
alas
this
gentlenesse
of
nature
is
a
plaine
weaknesse
,
wee
may
safely
see
the
deaths
of
these
,
yea
of
men
without
motion
,
it
belongs
to
vs
to
looke
into
the
cause
of
their
deaths
,
not
into
the
manner
onely
,
but
fetching
it
from
the
desert
wee
shall
see
plainely
,
it
is
not
the
Iudge
nor
the
executionner
that
committes
this
abhorred
spectacle
,
but
them-selues
,
them-selues
doe
execution
vppon
them-selues
;
Might
there
bee
that
vnspeakable
blessing
giuen
to
the
imprisoned
soule
,
that
she
might
here
view
things
in
sincere
trueth
,
how
would
vice
and
sinne
flie
light
,
when
vnmasked
light
might
discouer
their
deformities
,
how
profoundly
should
we
be
able
to
censure
things
,
how
would
we
scorne
lawes
and
compulsion
,
when
the
most
ragged-vnderstanding
should
flye
farre
aboue
them
.
Lastly
,
all
the
enemies
of
wealth
and
pouerty
should
be
banished
,
for
we
should
not
know
want
,
and
so
should
want
them
,
and
the
laborious
life
of
Studye
should
end
,
whose
trauels
ayme
at
no
other
end
,
but
an
ability
to
knowe
euery
thing
in
his
propper
kinde
;
this
is
not
,
because
Affection
is
,
who
dayly
ouercomes
reason
,
not
by
strength
but
flattery
,
and
sometimes
makes
the
weapons
of
Reason
,
treacherously
turne
head
vpon
Reason
,
with
corrupting
his
taste
,
and
making
him
fortifie
pleasure
with
arguments
.
I
would
be
glad
to
looke
vpon
my
brother
with
the
same
eye
that
I
behould
a
stranger
,
and
may
the
strangers
worthe
excell
his
,
I
would
preferre
him
.
He
is
deceiued
,
that
thinkes
vertue
respects
bloud
and
aliaunces
:
she
is
not
so
bodely
,
hauing
commerce
with
vs
whiles
we
haue
bodyes
,
not
because
we
hauing
bodyes
,
should
loue
our
bodyes
:
but
because
we
should
with
the
ordering
and
subiecting
them
,
win
her
.
It
is
Affection
that
hath
skil
of
colours
,
and
hath
set
vp
the
estimation
of
White
and
Red.
I
verely
beleeue
Vertue
was
neuer
Paynter
nor
Armorist
,
all
those
choyses
and
allowances
that
come
from
tall
,
and
fatte
or
slender
and
well
bodied
,
are
all
Affections
choise
,
the
minde
sees
the
minde
,
and
giues
the
body
leaue
to
looke
how
it
will
,
for
she
loues
the
abilities
and
graces
of
the
mind
,
whose
neuer
fading
beauties
,
makes
their
imbracements
blessed
.
Here
is
the
choise
of
all
things
made
sure
;
thus
friends
are
to
bee
entertained
,
whose
perfection
may
be
better
discoursed
of
,
then
it
is
possible
to
finde
it
actually
,
the
reason
because
Affection
beares
so
great
sway
,
our
causes
of
combination
being
commonly
more
beholding
to
Affection
then
Reason
,
which
makes
vs
so
often
complaine
of
the
vnstablenesse
of
friends
&
friendships
inconstancie
.
No
other
are
those
leauges
which
looke
into
the
fortune
rather
then
vertue
of
friends
,
that
cunningly
make
Loue
the
broker
to
supply
their
wants
;
how
can
these
hould
,
since
the
hould
of
their
hould
blinde
Dame
Fortune
is
brittle
and
flitting
.
But
amongst
all
I
finde
no
body
hath
so
iust
cause
to
complaine
of
this
as
Iustice
,
which
being
the
very
soule
and
life
of
gouernment
is
oft
time
compelled
to
help
the
lightest
scoale
with
her
finger
,
whiles
Partialities
burden
makes
the
other
heauie
.
I
can
pittie
the
distresse
of
no
vertue
so
much
as
this
,
since
no
vertue
carryes
with
her
a
greater
maiestie
,
and
in
that
maiestie
knowledge
,
the
life
of
life
,
the
ioy
of
man
,
&
his
surest
euidence
of
participating
with
the
deuine
nature
.
Surely
were
it
not
for
the
orderly
working
of
this
vertue
,
we
should
make
the
world
in
a
worse
state
than
the
Chaos
,
where
was
a
confusion
,
but
it
was
innocent
though
deformed
:
but
now
it
would
be
turned
into
a
guilty
deformity
,
the
picture
of
which
though
not
fully
,
are
those
sick
states
that
are
continually
letting
blood
;
where
the
sweet
wisdom
of
laws
,
are
turned
into
those
doubtful
arbitrators
blowes
,
and
where
Iustice
executes
not
with
her
sworde
,
but
fights
for
her
right
,
but
I
haue
destinated
a
whole
Essay
to
Iustice
,
wherefore
I
wil
speake
no
more
of
her
now
.
Of
all
our
delicacies
or
imperfectitiues
of
any
kinde
,
there
is
no
Author
but
Affection
,
whose
inticements
brings
on
equally
both
excesse
and
obstinacie
,
witnesse
the
many
idle
lines
of
Louers
,
who
haue
made
many
foule
Papers
,
for
the
sakes
of
their
faire
Mistresse
,
whose
luxurious
conceits
they
haue
made
loue
answer
for
,
&
called
them
loue
.
Talis
amor
teneat
,
nec
sit
mihi
cura
mederi
.
I
wishe
them
no
Phisicke
,
but
my selfe
the
sight
,
for
I
like
no
play
like
to
a
passionate
Louer
,
yet
haue
I
heard
it
hath
kild
some
;
but
I
will
neither
beleeue
it
,
nor
yet
be
thus
in
Loue
.
In
a
worde
,
all
these
rable
of
disturbers
,
that
prouoakes
passion
&
procures
the
full
possession
of
men
,
of
what
kinde
soeuer
,
are
the
children
of
Affection
,
or
if
not
her
children
,
her selfe
,
for
Proteus
like
,
occasion
altereth
her
shape
,
and
she
somtime
lookes
like
Anger
,
somtimes
like
Loue
,
other
times
like
some
other
of
those
blinde
choosers
,
whose
effects
though
so
different
as
called
by
different
names
;
yet
all
are
Affections
,
with
whom
I
will
haue
as
little
to
do
as
I
can
,
and
when
I
do
vse
her
,
it
shall
be
no
more
,
then
so
much
as
shall

get

of

by

and

of
times
past
,
brought
into
an
exact

from
the

of

and
all

Wee
haue
then
from
our
Auncestors
differences
,
which
tradition
is
not
so
tyrannicall
as
not
to

for

are
Commaund
and
Obedience
,
the
foundation
and
chiefe
causes
vpholding

,
our
eye
giues
euery
thing
a
coulour
;
the
things
most
precious
are
counted
more
precious
,
if
they
be
fayre
as
well
as
good
:
from
hence
we
haue
inforced
the
Marchandize
of
the
minde
to
be
good
,
for
somewhat
els
besides
meere
goodnesse
;
all
vertues
haue
agreed

Temperance
hath
Health
for

Fortitude
,
Sa●●tie
;
Pacience
,
Tranquilitie
;
thus
Wisdome
now
vnderstood
by
Nobilitie
;
Maiestie
and
State
,
with
ordinance
of
the
deuine
wisdome
,
whether
it
be
the
knowledge
of
our
weakenesse
,
which
cannot
beholde
pure
truth
by
it selfe
,
or
our
other
weakenesse
,
which
hath
neede
of

for
our
vnderstanding

to
perswade

to
vertue
,
or
els
the
temporall

destinated

whether
for

it
is
so

these
excellent
and
supreame

,
hauing
inferiour
graces
to
be
their
attendants
.
It
is
not
then
in
the
power
of
the
most
wittie
enuious
repining
nature
,
to
spurne
at
the
differences
amongst
men
,
it
is
a
lawfull
constitution
vpholding
lawes
,
the
life
of

,
it
makes
vp
the
sweetest
sounding
harmony
whose
speaking
in
seuerall

by
discorde
,
giues
euery
one
a

,
euery
one
is
fitted
and
altogether
knits
diuersitie
in
concord
.
Particularly
to
speake
of
the
vpholding
&
destroying
the
state
of
authoritie
,
those
that
are
content
to
let
fall
their
countenances
and
to
open
themselues
to
the
intertaining
all
with
one
respect
are
natures
forced
beyond
their
natures
,
beeing
meeter
to
serue
then
gouerne
,
or
such
,
whose
actions
going
awry
,
fearefully
to
eschew
punishment
,
seeke
shelter
in
the
abuse
of
curtesie
,
of
the
first
,
they
vnderstand
not
themselues
,
or
rather
vnderstand
themselues
,
but
not
their
places
,
the
other
,
neyther
the
natures
of
them
nor
their
places
,
or
els
worse
,
are
led
by
affection
,
of
whom
there
is
no
more
to
be
sayd
,
but
beeing
not
fit
it
is
meete
to
send
them
to
mending
,
if
not
capable
of
that
,
to
be
made
into
some
other
forme
.
This
other
hath
beene
accessary
to
the
ouerthrowing
many
states
,
nay
hardly
there
is
any
destroyed
,
but
this
hath
beene
an
assistant
to
it
,
being
a
cherishing
poyson
,
that
maketh
inferior
conditions
resty
,
and
rebellious
;
the
Romane
state
offere●h
many
examples
of
their
kinde
where
their
chiefetaines
vnable
to
purchase
respect
by
the
true
way
,
attempted
the
loue
of
the
souldiers
by
giuing
them
libertie
,
saluting
them
by
familiaritie
;
thus
the
most
exact
millitary
discipline
that
euer
was
,
was
lost
and
ruined
and
they
that
had
wont
to
smell
of
sweate
,
the
testimony
of
labour
,
now
smelt
of
oyle
the
witnesse
of
an
vnmanlike
effeminate
nicenesse
.
It
ended
not
heare
for
the
armies
wont
to
looke
vppon
their
generalls
with
admiration
&
reuerence
brought
to
a
deeper
insight
through
their
prostitute
fashion
,
began
to
compare
his
power
and
theirs
,
to
examine
the
causes
of
euidence
,
which
beeing
wisdome
an
euidence
past
their
knowledge
,
in
their
knowledge
nothing
being
of
force
,
but
force
finding
him
inferior
to
their
multitude
,
it
brought
contempt
,
so
came
(
sayth
Tacitus
)
the
secrets
of
the
Senate
to
be
knowne
to
the
soldiers
,
so
came
they
to
know
their
own
strength
,
though
not
to
know
how
to
vse
it
,
an
vnhappy
knowledge
,
so
came
the
armies
to
make
Emperors
,
so
came
the
world
to
be
gouerned
by
mony
,
for
by
that
corruption
the
Legions
erected
Emperours
,
so
came
the
Masters
of
the
worlde
to
be
held
in
the
slauish
tenure
of
paying
a
fine
for
their
admittance
,
and
to
hould
their
states
of
men
,
that
were
wont
to
acknowledge
no
body
but
the
Gods
:
such
a
basenes
and
declination
is
this
in
vice
,
and
indirect
aspiring
,
that
to
attaine
but
the
names
of
Lordes
,
they
are
content
in
truth
to
be
slaues
,
to
be
the
miserablest
slaues
,
being
onely
commanders
vnsatiable
and
vnlimited
,
for
there
is
such
a
misterie
in
Nature
,
as
natures
passing
beyonde
their
allotted
limits
,
worke
nothing
but
confusion
,
and
not
euen
their
owne
intendements
can
they
bring
to
perfection
.
Neuer
was
there
any
countrie
possessed
of
the
Empire
,
that
managed
it
more
gallantly
then
the
Romaines
whose
care
of
keeping
their
state
in
maiestie
did
no
lesse
preserue
them
then
their
greatest
conquests
,
for
those
do
but
enlarge
these
setled
and
confirme
dominion
,
for
little
auaileth
power
without
order
,
and
this
is
the
mother
of
order
.
I
doe
not
thinke
but
that
there
might
haue
beene
men
found
,
in
the
time
of
Oracles
,
no
lesse
sound
and
more
certaine
in
counsell
then
the
Oracles
,
who
preserued
themselues
with
a
double
construction
,
but
their
venerable
account
brought
men
to
attend
their
answeres
so
preiudicially
,
as
they
were
taken
not
searched
into
;
and
men
with
men
,
doubtlesse
somtimes
seruants
,
happen
of
sound
counsell
,
but
their
basenesse
takes
away
beliefe
,
their
fortunes
esteeme
,
so
fruitlesse
are
the
indeuours
of
great
men
,
when
they
put
on
the
carriages
of
seruile
conditions
,
for
with
the
same
neglect
are
they
vsed
,
that
holde
not
their
parsons
with
the
grauitie
of
their
states
in
veneration
.
Cassandraes
propheticall
counsell
,
surely
would
not
haue
gone
so
regardlesse
,
had
she
not
beene
a
woman
,
the
parson
as
wel
as
the
aduise
is
reckned
of
by
the
aduised
,
they
must
goe
together
,
though
we
meruaile
at
strange
thinges
,
yet
wisdome
will
not
follow
them
,
and
euen
they
esteeme
that
all
women
haue
,
is
deriued
from
their
modesties
,
and
shame
fast
obscuring
them selues
for
put
them
in
their
contrarie
habit
accompanied
with
mans
accustomed
bouldnesse
,
and
there
followeth
a
loathing
and
detestation
.
Thus
hath
custome
destinated
in
each
sex
,
and
euery
calling
,
certayne
rules
and
orders
of
life
,
which
broken
,
are
abolished
,
as
greatnesse
attired
in
a
seruile
forme
,
or
a
serulle
in
greatnesse
,
is
an
innouation
no
lesse
dangerous
particularity
,
then
innouations
more
generall
to
the
body
of
a
state
,
that
once
ouercome
the
louing
,
the
woorse
is
no
lesse
dangerous
then
the
once
forsaking
the
best
,
for
custome
is
a
mettal
that
stands
which
way
so
euer
it
is
bent
&
is
not
to
be
rebent
without
the
danger
of
breaking
,
witnesse
Galba
;
whose
wordes
to
the
soldiers
.
I
actauit
se
legere
,
non
e●●ere
militem
consuesce
.
A
speach
good
and
well
befitting
the
mouth
of
an
Emperour
,
yet
receiued
a
contrary
censure
,
because
not
fitting
the
time
:
thus
dangerous
is
reformation
,
thus
pernitious
to
follow
a
time
wherein
the
deuotion
of
subiects
to
their
prince
by
the
negligence
of
their
progenitors
is
debased
and
made
contemptible
.
Now
to
eschew
this
euill
,
and
to
possesse
the
true
esteeme
incident
to
honour
,
the
ground-woorke
&
foundation
must
be
from
their
liues
,
for
two
causes
.
The
first
,
it
is
impossible
to
possesse
this
procurer
of
awe
and
veneration
beeing
inwardly
visions
,
for
vice
is
base
and
makes
the
behauiour
base
&
fearful
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
chiefe
lim
of
this
purpose
,
which
is
magnannimity
and
cleare
conscience
,
the
mother
of
resolution
,
the
other
that
euery
body
will
shunne
his
direction
,
that
is
not
all
to
direct
himselfe
,
his
commaundements
shall
not
get
passage
through
the
harts
of
men
,
but
bee
spurned
at
,
and
dispised
.
There
is
nothing
that
hath
neede
of
more
respect
,
then
the
first
acquiring
respect
,
it
is
with
much
more
ease
preserued
then
obtaynd
,
for
it
preserues
it selfe
,
but
with
great
difficulty
is
attained
,
for
comming
from
no
other
originall
but
vertue
and
authority
,
(
both
which
are
strangers
to
the
beginning
of
mens
times
)
they
must
be
had
first
;
and
then
this
,
for
mens
loue
and
reuerence
are
gaind
not
for
the
beauty
of
the
persons
but
for
the
abilities
likely
to
profit
,
for
whatsoeuer
we
pretend
they
are
rare
that
ground
their
loues
vpon
the
generall
weldoing
,
wee
doe
but
talke
of
louing
our
countreyes
best
,
for
wee
loue
our selues
first
,
it
is
to
be
wished
it
were
otherwise
,
but
it
is
to
be
feared
it
is
so
;
the
reason
is
,
we
vndertake
much
more
willingly
to
conquer
kingdomes
then
our selues
,
and
therefore
as
nature
made
vs
,
she
may
haue
vs
againe
,
for
wee
are
without
any
other
alteration
then
is
incident
to
obstinate
ignorant
,
for
the
other
instruments
vphoulding
a
due
reuerence
&
respect
,
I
remember
some
,
but
fearing
they
would
be
catcht
at
,
without
the
condition
of
retayning
vertue
first
,
I
hold
it
best
not
to
aduenture
them
,
we
are
lazy
and
proud
,
for
he
that
thirsts
for
honour
with
out
desert
,
is
lazy
and
proud
,
and
desert
I
cannot
call
those
crossings
and
gaine
copings
of
vertue
,
it
is
a
counterfaite
fashion
to
face
our
foreparts
with
the
rich
stuffe
of
worth
,
and
inwardly
to
be
a
peeced
stuffe
of
diuers
colours
of
diuers
raggs
;
to
conclude
he
is
perfect
in
his
best
liuehood
that
is
perfect
in
himselfe
;
he
vnderstands
an
euidence
more
profitable
then
the
euidence
of
his
land
,
to
which
a
confirmed
bahauiour
is
the
profit
of
his
knowledge
,
the
preseruation
of
which
,
is
the
preseruation
of
his
honestie
,
the
vse
of
which
is
as
effectuall
as
his
wisedome
,
for
seperated
he
may
be
heard
,
but
not
beleeued
;
it
is
not
Pride
,
but
Vertue
then
,
to
exact
and
maintaine
the
reuerence
fit
for
his
calling
,
which
who
dooth
not
,
is
eyther
vicious
,
or
vnprofitable
,
or
both
.

is
I
that
haue
cause
to
complaine
of
iniurious
time
,
who
wanting
you
,
do
wish
the
want
of
my selfe
,
for
my selfe
without
my
second
selfe
is
alike
loathsome
;
no
more
sweete
friend
,
let
vs
not
thinke
to
much
of
the
misfortune
of
seperation
,
but
let
me
leaue
you
heere
.
O
Sir
pardon
me
,
mine
eyes
would
take
it
vnkindly
at
my
legges
hands
,
my
heart
at
both
their
handes
,
if
they
should
not
do
their
vttermost
towards
your
fruition
;
no
farther
then
this
gate
,
I
protest
,
a
little
further
I
beseech
you
,
be
not
so
iniurious
to
the
lengthning
of
my
ioyes
,
not
a
foote
,
much
doe
I
feare
you
haue
already
hazarded
your
health
with
this
long
iourney
.
Giue
me
leaue
therefore
,
for
the
quiet
of
mine
owne
minde
,
to
salute
you
by
a
messenger
in
the
morning
,
to
know
how
you
digested
your
great
trauell
;
my
messenger
shal
intercept
your
kind
intention
,
and
so
more
then
my selfe
farewell
:
farewell
to
you
both
flatterie
and
follie
,
or
both
.
I
am
wearie
of
playing
this
part
any
longer
,
and
almost
tyred
with
this
short
thinking
of
these
vaine
touches
of
the
tongue
,
like
to
haue
made
loue
to
a
seruant
that
interrupted
me
;
Fie
of
this
abuse
of
speeche
,
fie
of
this
purblinde
choise
;
for
my
part
,
I
had
rather
binde
my
tongue
apprentise
to
an
Oyster-wife
,
then
to
this
language
,
for
I
hate
nothing
more
then
the
accomplishing
of
things
purposelesse
,
and
so
is
this
,
if
it
be
not
worse
:
for
he
is
possest
with
one
of
these
two
deuils
that
speakes
thus
within
him
,
eyther
Dissimulation
,
or
the
propper
title
of
a
well-spoaken
man
,
which
two
are
the
badges
eyther
of
a
foole
or
a
villaine
.
I
like
well
that
euery
thing
should
doe
according
to
their
kinde
:
I
haue
heard
of
diuision
in
singing
,
and
of
the
diuisions
that
neate
Schollers
vse
to
tye
vp
the
breeches
of
an
Argument
or
Oration
with
,
but
when
we
are
to
sende
truth
or
seriousnesse
of
an
arrant
,
to
sende
such
a
mincing
imbroydered
Embassadour
,
is
not
fitte
:
wherefore
are
these
imploide
,
but
for
their
swiftnesse
?
because
they
can
get
sooner
to
our
friend
,
then
our
actions
,
of
whom
they
are
the
fore-runners
to
relate
their
comming
,
which
when
they
shall
do
,
one
after
an
other
,
a
multitude
of
messengers
before
the
true
expected
ghest
shall
come
,
who
can
blame
the
scorning
,
and
not
trusting
such
lying
posts
,
mee
thinkes
the
toung
reading
in
the
hart
what
he
pronounceth
,
should
reade
truely
,
and
not
abuse
both
with
a
corrupt
translation
;
but
this
is
the
most
poysonous
qualitie
in
accomplements
:
the
pretiest
are
those
that
meane
neither
well
nor
ill
,
but
as
I
said
,
to
be
a
well
spoken
man
,
that
like
an
vnthrifts
mony
that
burnes
in
his
purse
,
so
these
,
their
wordes
in
their
mindes
,
that
can
no
more
keepe
their
wordes
,
then
the
flix
his
excrements
,
but
when
it
comes
,
he
cannot
carrye
it
to
the
appointed
place
,
but
lets
it
go
vpon
the
next
hee
meetes
;
if
he
meetes
none
,
he
layes
it
in
his
breeches
.
Who
would
be
troubled
with
such
a
disease
as
this
,
basting
euery
one
without
al
choise
or
respect
,
not
I
,
for
I
preferre
the
freedome
of
my
minde
,
before
any
thing
of
the
world
,
and
amongst
the
things
of
the
world
,
then
this
,
there
is
none
more
slauish
and
base
,
comes
it
eyther
from
the
best
or
the
worse
of

Flatterie

Essay

29.
Of
Estimation
and
Reputation
.
THe
most
deere
and
most
precious
commodities
of
man
,
are
these
,
they
are
himselfe
,
his
life
,
those
which
all
noble
and
honest
spirites
haue
the
care
of
,
they
liue
,
carefully
cherishing
it
,
and
die
,
imbracing
it
.
Euen
wife
,
and
children
compared
with
this
,
are
counted
respects
of
a
second
sorte
,
and
we
prouide
for
this
,
and
then
for
them
,
which
excellent
colour
that
makes
men
decernable
from
one
another
,
though
opinion
or
affection
,
partially
distributeth
,
and
somtime
counterfets
,
it
is
no
matter
,
lifes
inabled
with
thoughts
of
magnanimitie
must
not
desist
for
this
,
this
worth
is
not
blemished
by
this
halting
defectiue
imitation
,
but
rather
increaseth
;
for
imitation
how
short
soeuer
it
comes
of
the
origiuall
,
yet
beares
the
meaning
of
allowance
.
It
is
a
sweete
thing
full
of
the
pleasure
incident
to
the
things
of
our
owne
acquiring
,
for
it
is
no
inheritance
,
nor
is
it
bound
to
follow
the
followers
of
Fortune
,
but
purely
is
theirs
,
whose
thoughts
haue
guided
their
actions
to
do
things
of
note
and
worth
;
it
belongs
not
to
sloath
nor
idlenes
,
be
he
neuer
so
noble
,
if
a
Sluggard
,
she
will
not
serue
him
,
she
bindes
her selfe
to
no
body
that
doth
not
well
who
embraceth
vertue
,
she
comes
after
and
kisseth
him
,
basenesse
and
sensualitie
,
she
giues
in
pray
to
her
opposite
the
most
abhorred
thing
of
nature
,
obliuion
,
and
is
her selfe
associated
with
none
that
determine
not
brauely
as
well
as
honestly
,
being
indeed
the
last
and
most
refined
disgestion
of
a
fierie
and
high
flying
nature
.
This
is
Estimation
that
carries
leuell
throughout
the
world
,
where
eyes
by
distance
are
vnprofitable
,
greatnesse
dismembred
from
feare
,
which
being
inhabitants
of
different
regions
vnregarded
,
thither
,
and
beyond
goeth
Estimation
,
being
a
coine
currant
,
and
receiued
in
all
countries
,
with
all
dispositions
,
euen
enmitie
and
malice
it selfe
cannot
resist
acknowledging
her
;
besides
the
ample
territory
which
it
yeelds
in
commanding
respect
euery
where
,
being
like
the
Sunne
dispersing
his
Rayes
ouer
the
world
,
making
the
dwarffish
feeble
constitution
of
man
,
whatsoeuer
the
eyes
saith
,
figured
by
the
mind
,
a
most
godly
and
most
strong
portraiture
of
Excellencie
;
more
then
all
this
,
it
giues
the
letters
of
credence
that
makes
vs
beleeued
in
the
commerce
of
men
,
without
this
we
labour
altogether
vnprofitably
,
suspect
killing
all
our
intents
,
before
they
come
to
the
age
of
actions
,
surely
they
are
natures
of
a
dastardly
kinde
,
that
do
not
vehemently
thirst
after
this
most
splendent
brightnesse
,
they
are
rustie
bodyes
,
that
doe
not
continually
handle
them-selues
vntill
they
shine
thus
,
for
leauing
that
worst
part
that
declines
to
ostentation
,
and
bragarisme
,
(
though
praise
and
commendations
,
and
so
estimation
may
be
loued
,
&
yet
liue
long
enough
without
these
extremities
,
for
Vertue
is
not
so
tyrannicall
as
to
propound
labours
without
recompence
:
it
may
be
loued
for
a
thousand
other
respects
;
euen
as
loue
it selfe
can
somtimes
go
without
lust
,
for
the
pursuite
of
actions
for
the
sake
of
vaine-glory
,
is
no
neerer
a
kin
to
the
true
grounded
estimation
,
then
lust
is
to
loue
.
Estimation
being
the
blossome
of
the
tree
of
Vertue
,
which
promiseth
the
husbandman
paiment
of
a
more
tasting
commoditie
,
being
the
fore-runner
of
Vertues
best
paiment
,
we
must
not
contemne
,
but
cherish
,
the
blossomes
perishing
,
the
fruite
perisheth
;
praises
are
not
then
to
be
contemned
,
for
they
are
the
blossomes
of
vertue
flourishing
,
they
must
be
loued
and
desired
,
for
from
them
one
day
comes
the
fruite
of
the
Tree
of
Life
.
But
now
to
the
vndiscreet
greedinesse
of
many
,
who
desire
to
be
riche
in
this
,
as
robbers
by
stealing
,
who
leaue
industrie
and
thrift
(
the
true
meanes
)
on
the
right
hand
,
and
impatiently
dispoile
others
,
to
satisfie
their
appetite
:
the
way
by
vertue
is
called
large
,
the
goodnesse
of
the
mindes
inclination
tedious
,
they
apply
outward
medicines
,
things
of
resemblance
,
matter
of
forme
,
but
for
truth
and
not
the
resemblance
but
the
thing
it selfe
,
they
neuer
trauaile
about
it
.
These
base
mercenarie
imitations
take
their
originall
from
three
plots
:
from
the
pretence
of
discent
,
from
the
infections
that
parasites
giue
the
world
in
their
behalfes
,
from
a
behauiour
big
and
swolne
full
of
promises
,
eager
of
performances
,
&
traffiquing
with
occasion
of
a
slight
&
safe
price
,
I
can
warrant
no
man
from
the
infection
incident
to
high
fortunes
,
for
I
taste
in
euery
man
liuely
prouocations
,
to
teach
their
thoughts
flatterie
,
and
to
lay
matter
of
worth
to
their
owne
charge
,
my
readings
iumpe
.
Alexander
,
when
he
was
so
full
and
so
mighty
,
as
to
be
called
Conquerour
of
the
world
,
was
then
so
needy
as
faine
to
borrow
Iupiter
Hammon
for
his
father
,
to
be
the
bawde
of
his
owne
conception
;
for
it
was
he
only
that
brought
Iupiter
&
Olympia
together
,
such
is
the
blinde
vndiscreet
capacitie
of
man
,
as
when
he
may
draw
estimation
from
him selfe
,
then
not
for
modesties
sake
,
but
a
mad
ambition
,
he
giues
it
to
others
,
making
his
case
weake
,
with
bringing
in
weaker
assistance
,
rather
choosing
to
be
a
glimmering
reflexion
,
then
a
true
and
reall
light
.
But
the
pretence
here
was
the
purchase
of
a
more
ample
regard
amongst
men
,
whose
states
commonly
being
full
of
darke
ignorance
,
is
muth
more
rauished
with
thoughts
of
superstition
,
then
things
apparent
,
for
they
can
gesse
so
neere
themselues
as
to
determine
things
of
their
owne
pitch
,
base
&
triuiall
,
which
brings
them
to
a
retchlesse
respect
of
what
they
are
conuersant
with
,
&
to
lend
admiration
only
to
things
rare
,
finding
what
they
know
vnworthy
,
they
are
much
more
delighted
with
what
they
know
not
.
I
finde
not
for
all
this
any
increase
of
estimation
fetched
from
these
diuine
titles
,
for
men
of
iudgement
whose
abilities
reach
farther
than
the
present
fortune
of
princes
behold
a
weaknes
in
these
vnresonable
affectations
,
they
see
a
bowing
&
wauering
in
those
minds
,
vnable
to
manage
succes
,
ouer
the
more
inferior
subiect
,
it
layes
mo●e
fast
hould
but
vnprofitably
for
meanes
of
a
more
direct
ascent
shall
performe
this
office
,
doubt
shall
hould
them
as
fast
by
the
heele
as
the
name
of
Iupiters
mistaking
workemanship
,
for
doubt
breeds
a
feare
of
so
good
a
temper
,
as
beeing
neyther
inclining
to
desperation
,
nor
hate
,
it
begets
obedience
,
with
other
nations
it
preuailes
not
at
all
,
for
beeing
out
of
the
reach
of
awe
and
feare
,
their
sights
are
more
cleare
,
and
their
inquisition
more
certayne
.
Amongst
all
those
states
that
drew
estimation
from
this
superstitious
beleefe
of
their
participating
with
the
highest
powers
,
Numa
Pompilius
plaied
it
best
with
his
nimph
,
he
was
a
prince
that
bred
and
nourished
deuotion
in
his
countrimen
,
who
before
bred
vp
in
warres
(
a
life
apt
to
corrupt
)
knew
better
how
to
be
soldiers
then
good
subiects
,
he
changed
their
liues
,
to
strengthen
with
innonation
the
opinion
of
the
counsell
of
a
more
then
humane
vnderstanding
was
necessarie
;
more
modestly
though
I
cannot
say
more
discreetely
did
the
Romanes
of
the
ages
afore
vse
this
Deifying
power
,
they
gaue
it
their
Emperors
dead
,
but
with
such
partiallitie
as
they
spared
none
that
left
a
successor
of
his
owne
appoyntment
,
so
much
differ
the
nature
of
these
from
their
progenitors
,
so
much
doth
it
alter
nature
to
be
brought
vp
and
nourished
in
seruilitie
,
but
could
they
,
or
durst
they
haue
giuen
it
onely
to
well
deseruing
princes
,
their
princes
vnlimited
by
others
respects
,
would
haue
beene
the
better
for
this
,
since
it
is
as
naturall
in
men
to
purchase
hope
as
assurance
.
The
Egiptians
haue
a
law
that
at
the
funerall
of
any
man
,
all
that
could
accuse
or
excuse
the
dead
,
came
in
,
where
if
his
defects
surpassed
his
merites
,
he
was
denied
the
rights
of
their
interring
,
it
did
much
good
,
though
they
were
not
in
hope
of
winning
any
more
,
then
a
mortall
reputation
,
the
feare
of
losing
that
was
much
feared
&
so
shunned
,
an
excellent
law
,
no
lawes
beeing
so
excellent
as
those
that
seeme
cruell
and
are
not
,
&
being
slight
,
produce
the
weightiest
and
best
effects
.
The
ages
since
these
,
growne
more
Philosophically
wise
,
to
whom
it
is
apparent
the
immediate
act
of
generation
is
a
mortall
thing
,
and
no
way
answerable
to
the
diuine
nature
,
the
multiplicitie
of
the
many
Gods
being
abolished
,
not
so
easie
a
matter
to
haue
the
conuersation
of
a
God
,
these
beeing
known
fables
not
daring
to
ground
their
designes
vpon
impossibilities
,
to
which
iudgement
will
neuer
consent
,
from
things
of
likehood
they
giue
their
pretenced
grace
,
instead
of
the
counsell
of
the
Gods
,
the
maner
of
adoring
God
,
insteade
of
their
discent
from
them
,
from
families
of
long
standings
,
these
are
the
maskes
and
disguises
of
al
those
impatient
eager
dispositon
,
that
are
not
content
with
there
owne
states
,
to
which
at
the
first
approach
by
the
quicke
and
light
apprehensions
of
the
multitude
,
perhaps
estimation
may
be
giuen
,
but
it
weares
off
,
and
is
too
lightly
wouen
to
indure
.
It
hath
not
beene
omitted
by
many
thirsters
after
estimation
,
to
make
mercenarie
breathes
fill
the
eares
of
men
with
their
commendations
,
in
vndirect
course
,
be
they
euen
as
worthy
as
they
will
,
for
a
true
thing
out
of
the
gutter
of
a
false
throate
can
hardly
escape
corrupting
:
surely
so
great
an
enemie
is
vertue
to
hypocrisie
as
she
grows
and
increaseth
most
where
she
is
most
obscured
,
to
giue
whose
effects
leaue
to
speake
,
not
to
speake
of
her
effects
,
is
the
best
proceeding
for
attending
her
leasure
,
shee
wil
discouer
her selfe
in
a
more
faire
&
full
growth
,
then
now
comming
into
the
world
like
abortiue
issue
halfe
stopped
&
deformed
.
The
estimation
fetcht
from
a
big
&
bombast
behauior
decernes
not
the
confuting
,
for
the
best
of
behauiour
,
more
then
that
the
shaddow
of
the
sunne
is
better
then
a
candle
,
indures
comparison
with
nothing
,
for
it
is
but
the
shadow
of
the
minde
,
but
the
companion
of
this
a
hunting
out
imployment
,
flight
,

Estimation

seldome
escapes
discouering

if

and
that
they

by
an

their

Reputation
the
garland
of
meaner
price
for
meaner
champions
,
is
not
yet
so
low
as
not
woorth
the
stouping
for
,
though
with
titles
and
worship
and
wordes
we
distinguish
states
,
yet
to
all
men
of
all
fortunes
,
the
groundes
of
vertue
are
one
,
with
whom
estimation
and
reputation
is
al
one
,
but
we
whose
narrow
roomes
are
not
able
to
traffick
with
vertue
by
the
whole-sale
but
by
retayle
must
take
in
things
by
handfulls
;
there
is
nothing
easier
then
to
confound
our
natures
,
to
eschew
wearinesse
we
count
our
miles
,
we
number
things
and
are
afrayed
of
infinitie
,
thus
speake
our
artes
beeing
erected
with
grounde-workes
,
diuisions
,
rules
&c.
Thus
Arithmetike
by
1.
and
2.
and
3.
as
the
stayres
mounteth
vp
to
millions
,
we
see
not
,
heare
not
,
touch
not
,
smell
not
,
together
,
but
singly
commeth
our
knowledge
;
thus
is
vertue
content
to
suffer
her selfe
to
be
anatomized
by
wordes
,
and
by
wordes
,
,
to
pull
one
part
from
another
,
thus
comes
fortitude
,
temperancie
,
iustice
,
to
be
destinated
to
seuerall
functions
,
and
to
be
knowne
by
seuerall
names
,
thus
comes
estimation
and
reputation
to
a
destinction
,
thus
by
wordes
is
mans
vnderstanding
set
a
worke
,
and
kept
from

madde

Though

English

the
Land-lord

yet
I
hope
goodnesse
belongeth
no
lesse
fully
to
the
Lord
then
Tennant

but
that
their
actions
pretend
a
generall
good
,
and
these
vnimployed
obscure
fortunes
,
but
a
particuler
,
we
must
giue
a
preheminence
,
which
our
mindes
can
not
do
without
our
senses
,
our
eares
must
haue
their
indifferent
soundes
,
the
best
is
therefore
knowne
by
the
name
of
estimation
to
determine
honestly
,
to
practise
those
determinations
,
to
resist
feare
,
and
vanquish
couetousnesse
,
is
the
direct
way
to
reputation
,
which
who
honestly
indeauours
to
follow
,
shall
haue
his
indeauours
rewarded
with
this
title
.
These
are
not
impositions
of
such
import
as
those
belonging
to
estimation
,
but
yet
respecting
the
diuersitie
of

as

for

comming
so

is
the

To
determine

which
is
the
allowing

and
retaining

of
such
prouocation
,
the
resisting

contrary
,
is
the

surely
there
is

quailes
him

he
is
still
of
the

the

thus
can
he
not

that
is
troubled

this

perhaps
put
him
in
a

then
turne
him
to

alwayes

he
shall
then
say
they

that

Estimation
the

hath

Of
Popularitie
.
SO
is
the
state
of
man
inuironed
with
weakenesse
,
so
irresolute
are
his
actions
,
as
from
successe
he
drawes
daunger
,
from
occasion
changes
:
thus
may
I
say
viewing
the
occurrentes
incident
to
this
humour
.
Surely
at
the
first
founded
with
the
consent
of
commiseration
and
good
name
,
but
the
effects
following
too
fast
,
we
robbe
vertue
of
her
operation
and
rewarde
,
seperating
her
and
our selues
,
and
attributing
all
to
our
owne
merites
,
as
if
there
were
a
power
in
vs
able
to
do
well
,
that
proceeded
not
from
the
motions
of
Vertue
.
Certainely
before
the
gaine
incident
to
this
attempt
,
when
accompanied
onely
with
honest
prouocations
,
and
a
sincere
minde
,
it
is
well
intended
and
without
corruption
,
they
put
on
the
state
of
the
oppressed
,
and
pittye
,
they
feele
the
wrongs
,
that
others
feele
,
&
redresse
them
;
but
the
strength
of
vertue
inforcing
allowance
,
applause
,
and
following
,
drawne
beyond
the
compasse
of
our selues
,
impacient
of
vertues
long
last
paiment
,
we
snatch
at
the
opinion
of
the
world
,
and
loose
her
,
for
she
must
be
loued
alone
,
then
these
pretences
change
their
end
,
and
what
we
meant
once
should
purchase
vertue
,
we
lay
out
for
vice
,
who
now
manageth
an
vsurped
authoritie
,
and
dooth
some
things
seeming
good
,
to
doe
ill
after
with
the
more
safetie
,
and
vnder
the
couert
of
Humilitie
,
Liberallitie
,
and
Commiseration
,
meanes
to
inthrone
Pride
,
the
ingrossing
all
things
,
and
crueltie
;
thus
failes
the
foundation
of
a
goodly
building
,
ment
to
the
good
inclination
of
the
louers
of
their
country
,
but
they
are
put
out
,
and
ambition
dwels
there
.
It
is
no
wonder
then
though
this
common
affabilitie
hath
ill
successe
,
for
it
hath
an
ill
intent
.
It
is
no
wonder
though
it
be
the
most
cunning
seducer
,
for
it
is
couered
with
the
robe
of
vertue
,
nor
deserues
it
maruaile
,
though
it
coniure
harts
to
be
the
meanes
of
their
owne
ouerthrow
,
since
there
is
no
baite
swallowed
with
so
much
hast
,
as
that
of
gaine
&
particuler
contentment
;
thus
is
there
destinated
to
this
Arte
much
cunning
,
much
danger
,
much
applause
.
That
the
state
of
man
is
on
euery
side
inuironed
with
danger
needs
no
proofe
;
read
but
thy selfe
reader
,
&
without
me
thou
shalt
finde
,
vice
hath
fitted
thy
state
with
thoughts
apt
to
deceiue
and
intice
,
all
estates
haue
them
,
prosperitie
as
many
as
aduersitie
,
aske
vayne
glory
els
,
which
as
much
out-runnes
the
marke
as
miseries
repining
comes
short
or
dispayre
,
all
which
beeing
vnrestrayned
by
reason
,
carry
man
from
his
destinated
mediocritie
,
&
so
leaues
him
to
the
pleasure
of
irresolution
&
vncertainenesse
;
but
nothing
so
subiect
is
aduersitie
to
this
staggering
as
the
other
,
it
is
prosperitie
and
successe
that
brings
foorth
this
monster
,
who
following
the
actions
of
men
more
amply
then
they
haue
expected
,
hath
wholy
corrupted
them
,
making
their
attempts
that
were
fayre
at
the
time
of
conception
,
when
they
haue
beene
actions
foule
and
ill
fauoured
:
thus
haue
many
pretending
to
be
reformers
of
state
,
through
the
fauour
of
thei●
pretence
grown
mightie
,
beene
deformers
of
a
state
:
so
hard
it
is
for
man
to
thinke
well
altogether
,
especially
when
his
demeanure
carieth
a
popular
forme
,
bearing
the
title
of
the
oppressds
refuge
,
and
patrone
of
the
vulgar
,
whose
wording
fauour
and
showting
allowance
,
hath
such
an
operation
with
mans
frailtie
▪
as
caryed
from
the
true
regarde
and
knowledge
of
his
duty
,
he
seemes
like
a
feather
gouerned
by
the
breath
of
men
.
That
there
is
danger
,
who
seeth
not
?
since
he
is
a
loft
by
the
pleasure
of
others
,
a
dangerous
estate
,
for
with
danger
they
stand
that
stand
not
vpon
themselues
his
foundation
is
the
many
headed
multitude
,
a
foundation
both
in
respect
of
their
number
and
nature
vncertaine
,
and
consequently
dangerous
,
for
who
knowes
not
the
diuers
formes
of
mens
imaginations
,
as
different
almost
as
their
faces
,
which
showes
them
easily
seperated
,
&
their
forces
being
strong
,
no
longer
then
whiles
together
incorporated
,
being
so
subiect
to
be
seuered
,
nay
they
going
against
nature
,
if
holding
a
continued
vnion
,
what
can
issue
from
this
confidence
,
but
danger
?
their
natures
,
but
by
the
pleasure
of
nature
and
their
education
is
left
ignorant
,
which
impotencie
leaues
a
wauering
disposition
easily
seduced
,
and
as
easily
reformed
,
apt
to
beleeue
a
fayre
tale
,
and
as
apt
to
beleeue
weake
reasons
,
strong
:
spent
in
contradiction
,
this
makes
them
inconstant
,
for
their
discourse
not
vsed
to
retaine
things
,
makes
them
like
any
thing
,
because
they
are
destitute
of
the
vse
of
comparison
.
It
is
in
euery
mans
nature
to
allow
the
state
of
others
the
vpperhand
of
his
owne
,
euen
rich
men
sometimes
wish
themselues
poore
,
but
with
much
more
vehemencie
the
poore
themselues
rich
;
thus
are
the
vulgar
often
catcht
,
poore
creatures
,
they
wil
be
enamored
of
gay
cloathes
and
rich
abiliments
,
yea
euen
of
the
persons
of
men
,
which
they
shal
neuer
haue
the
least
vse
of

who

the

so
go
al

vncommixt

But
determine

from
the
doing

easing
their

of
subiection

this

for
haue
they

In

nothing

what

it
being
as

paine

but
were

to

not

their

that
immoderatly

is
an

Needes

they

neither

they
must
neither

neither

is

being
soone
off

and

of
a

though
not
of
a
wise
dispatche
.
They
are
wonne
with
what
they
feele
,
and
delighted
with
what
they
heare
;
are
the
chiefe
tooles
of
this
trade
,
Liberalitie
and
Rhethoricke
,
these
must
serue
one
anothers
turne
,
amplifying
,
gifts
,
and
the
actions
performed
for
their
commodities
,
with
Eloquence
;
other

leauing
the
perswasion
to
the
benefit
,
when
benefits
want
,
drawing
the
picture
of
Liberalitie
in
good

;
their

are

that
will
surfet

oft
time
,
as
by

;
their
satisfaction
resting
as
much
in
the

,
as
in

But
no
more
of
this
,
it
is
not
requisite
to
follow
this
point
any
further
,
I
haue
often
times
seene
them
that
ment
to
destroy
vice
,
sowe
it
▪
then
no
more
but
this
,
the
cunning
of
Popularitie
,
is
like
that
of
Iuglers
,
the
cunningest
of
which
can
cast
mists
before
mens
eyes
,
but
here
is
their
neerest

,
Iuglers
trickes
goe
most
inuisibly

Candle

men

with
those

that
come
no

then
candle
light
the

the
payment
of
these
are
prayse

applause
,
a
reward
fuller
of
noyse
then
profit
,
of
which
they
are
as
prodigall
to
their

with
no

with

so
me

it
is
doubtfull
which

without

no

Much

receiue

for
the

which
from

helpeth

for
all

so
corrupt

our

of

not

but
vpon

who
can
then
that

,
determine

commodious

since
waying
the
discommodities
,
the

,
the

incident
to
it

and
then
behoulding
the

,
we
shall
finde
no

the

this

the

Of
Humilitie
.
WE
haue
much
labour
and
houlde
in
the
obtaining
Vertue
,
when
we
haue
fought
wel
al
day
,
we
loose
it
at
night
,
vice
dogs
vs
,
and
neuer
assailes
but
vpon
aduantage
;
she
comes
creeping
,
and
by
degrees
gets
into
our
bosomes
,
we
cannot
shut
her
out
,
for
our
gates
will
not
be
bard
,
our
sences
keep
open
houses
,
they
are
busie
faculties
,
that
loue
not
idlenesse
,
though
they
leade
to
idlenesse
:
be
blinde
,
and
the
power
of
the
eyes
will
runne
into
the
touche
,
and
then
make
that
itche
for
both
,
take
away
foure
and
leaue
the
fifth
,
and
that
fifth
will
trouble
vs
as
ill
as
all
,
take
away
all
,
we
are
senceles
;
so
hauing
sences
,
we
are
subiect
to
vice
,
hauing
none
without
feeling
.
The
reason
of
Vertues
difficultie
,
is
her
inuisiblenesse
,
it
must
be
touched
or
tasted
,
or
heard
that
they
make
much
of
;
and
so
much
of
vertue
is
common
,
we
can
call
her
by
her
name
,
and
tell
of
her
excellencie
but
to
translate
her
out
of
wordes
,
into
deedes
and
actions
is
few
mens
cases
,
&
no
meruaile
for
the
perswasion
of
vertue
being
in
a
language
that
man
vnderstands
not
without
the
sences
interpretation
,
by
their
interpretation
is
corrupted
,
this
makes
them
thinke
those
good
deeds
l●st
that
haue
not
the
eyes
of
men
for
witnesse
;
the
most
detestable
vices
are
those
that
desire
to
looke
like
vertues
,
and
these
come
from
the
corrupt
peruerting
the
soules
motions
,
those
meerely
of
the
body
though
they
be
ill
enough
,
yet
are
they
not
so
ill
,
for
they
are
naturall
.
Thus
hardly
doe
we
earne
all
vertues
,
humilitie
excepted
,
which
me
thinks
is
so
neare
a
kin
to
vs
,
so
like
vs
,
so
fit
for
vs
,
as
she
needes
no
long
wooing
,
we
haue
no
other
refuge
but
this
,
it
is
shee
onely
of
all
other
graces
that
most
trulie
belongs
to
vs
,
and
of
whome
we
may
haue
the
greatest
part
,
for
the
rest
send
but
their
shaddowes
amongst
vs
,
she
comes
her selfe
:
they
are
all
of
an
higher
nature
and
more
stately
,
but
this
vertue
is
humilitie
,
that
teacheth
the
knowledge
of
knowledge
selfe-knowledge
,
that
destroyes
Fortune
,
for
she
is
delighted
with
nothing
but
excesse
of
passion
,
but
this
hath
but
one
countenance
,
that
confoundeth
pride
&
counterfeiting
,
for
she
shewes
her
inside
,
and
thinks
of
mending
her
imperfections
,
not
of
glorying
in
any
,
surelye
,
there
is
no
doubt
but
the
quest
of
the
others
is
an
honorable
imploiment
,
but
the
pursuit
of
this
exceedes
all
in
proffit
,
for
without
this
the
rest
are
not
,
all
of
them
being
dispoiled
of
their
excellent
natures
,
by
an
ouerweening
opinion
,
but
this
true
vnderstander
of
our
states
,
so
sweetly
commixeth
her
defects
with
those
thoughts
of
liking
,
as
taking
away
presumption
,
the
abuse
of
our
indeuours
,
&
leauing
iust
so
much
knowledge
as
desends
wearines
&
lothing
,
we
happen
of
that
true
way
,
that
directs
the
graces
of
the
minde
to
heauen
without
danger
.
But
because
though
we
dare
not
say
we
mislike
;
yet
we
like
that
best
,
that
is
good
both
for
soule
&
body
,
and
that
the
body
will
,
like
children
crye
,
if
it
haue
not
part
with
her
fellow
:
that
it
is
here
a
beauty
,
a
helpe
,
a
preseruation
,
is
worth
the
proouing
,
we
differ
much
in
natures
,
and
our
likings
like
not
all
one
thing
,
yet
was
there
neuer
nature
that
likt
the
taste
of
pride
in
another
,
the
sport
of
it
is
not
pride
likes
pride
,
but
will
spit
at
one
another
,
and
make
euen
their
owne
imperfection
,
beare
witnesse
against
the
same
imperfection
in
another
;
thus
plaine
it
is
,
howsoeuer
we
hide
it
,
and
hiding
cherish
it
in
our selues
,
that
by
our
opinion
of
others
,
the
opinion
of
all
others
neerest
a
kin
to
iudgement
,
we
hould
pride
a
vile
and
loathsome
companion
.
The
creatures
that
giue
vs
earthly
immortalitie
,
whose
chosen
euidence
is
beauty
,
if
that
not
beautified
with
modestie
,
humilities
other
name
,
it
is
no
lesse
loathed
then
deformitie
,
it
giues
a
sweetnesse
both
to
the
beautie
of
behauiour
,
and
the
bodies
beautie
,
and
turnes
the
beholders
thoughts
into
admiration
,
that
vnlesse
thus
accompanyed
,
would
end
with
enuie
,
and
a
repining
against
natures
partialitie
.
The
assistance
of
this
vertue
,
is
as
much
as
her
contraries
dangers
,
neuer
was
there
pride
,
though
incompassed
with
the
strongest
guarde
,
safe
;
For
it
is
a
vice
contrary
to
all
natures
,
there
is
no
other
but
may
haue
ayde
,
ayded
by
the
hopes
of
gaine
,
or
satisfying
some
humor
;
but
Pride
deuouting
all
things
to
vpholde
her selfe
,
destroyes
both
loue
and
hope
,
and
is
left
destitute
of
all
manner
of
defence
,
it
killes
succors
,
and
multiplieth
enemies
,
the
contrarie
,
purchasing
friendes
,
infeebling
enemies
,
therefore
without
question
,
a
vertue
of
great
helpe
&
profit
.
But
her
best
vertue
is
Preseruation
,
for
beauty
is
but
a
colour
,
and
not
reckened
amongst
the
substantiall
,
helpe
may
be
helped
,
and
yet
haue
neede
againe
,
but
Preseruation
looseth
no
friend
,
and
humilitie
is
the
author
,
for
sailing
by
this
compasse
,
we
knowe
wheresoeuer
we
are
,
what
we
are
,
it
is
impossible
for
any
place
or
any
state
to
alter
vs
all
fortunes
are
one
,
things
that
may
stick
vpon
the
body
,
but
neuer
vpon
the
minde
,
thus
is
she
the
cause
of
Preseruation
,
for
to
preserue
is
not
to
loose
,
she
looseth
not
therefore
,
she
preserueth
,
making
the
minde
constant
and
free
.
To
tell
how
fit
it
is
for
man
,
it
were
fit
first
to
relate
the
wretchednesse
of
his
state
,
an
argument
long
and
dolefull
,
but
that
it
were
a
relation
that
would
aske
a
long
time
,
since
it
is
of
his
miserie
,
shortly
auerreth
mine
opinion
,
for
those
debased
states
vnable
to
stand
vpon
themselues
,
haue
no
other
refuge
but
humility
,
a
testimony
of
an
obeying
minde
,
&
yet
far
inough
from
a
deiected
basenesse
.

32.
Of
Feare
.
WE
heare
from
our
nurses
and
old
women
,
tales
of
Hobgoblins
&
deluding
spirits
,
that
abuse
trauellers
,
and
carry
them
out
of
their
waye
,
we
heare
this
when
we
are
children
,
and
laugh
at
it
when
wee
are
men
,
but
that
we
laugh
at
it
when
we
are
men
,
makes
vs
not
men
:
for
I
see
few
men
,
we
delight
not
perhaps
in
Iigges
,
but
in
as
ridiculous
things
wee
liue
:
nor
this
disprooues
not
their
relations
,
for
wee
are
misvsed
by
these
spirites
both
night
and
day
,
some
goe
but
a
a
little
out
of
the
waye
,
most
goe
contrarie
,
yea
succourlesse
,
for
the
Moone-light
of
sence
is
hardly
their
companion
,
but
the
clowds
of
error
wholy
incompasseth
them
,
and
in
their
trauells
,
pride
catcheth
some
,
luxurie
some
,
hate
others
,
couetousnesse
deludeth
another
,
ambition
others
,
and
my
text
millions
,
whose
cases
are
desperate
;
For
daye
helpes
them
not
,
but
then
instead
of
thinking
of
these
impostors
,
they
see
them
and
follow
them
,
and
loue
them
:
of
none
of
these
haue
we
so
iust
cause
to
complaine
,
as
of
Feare
,
for
most
of
the
others
are
the
diseases
of
our
choyce
,
rather
then
natures
,
but
this
imperfect
opinion
catcheth
hould
in
our
very
conceptions
,
and
when
we
haue
not
witte
enough
to
bee
cousined
with
the
other
crimes
,
wee
haue
then
apprehentions
of
feare
and
nothing
is
more
conuersant
with
vs
,
then
dismayednesse
and
terror
.
Licurgus
ordeined
the
Laconian
women
the
exercise
of
their
limmes
,
wrasteling
,
running
,
and
managing
weights
,
and
throwing
them
,
it
did
well
doubtlesse
for
the
preparing
their
issue
strong
and
sturdy
,
but
had
he
giuen
mothers
the
education
of
bettering
their
mindes
,
he
had
done
much
better
;
matters
of
execution
are
the
seruants
of
direction
,
weaknesse
is
not
so
great
a
fault
as
ignorance
,
and
ill
strength
with
a
stronge
minde
more
inuincible
,
then
a
strong
body
and
feeble
minde
,
but
to
my
vse
,
we
leaue
our
women
ignorant
,
and
so
leaue
them
fearefull
,
which
makes
vs
so
weake
harted
,
the
mans
part
is
soone
done
,
he
hath
much
more
from
his
mother
,
which
being
thus
full
of
pusillanimitie
,
must
needs
susteine
and
make
his
issue
fearefull
,
it
will
impaire
a
mans
courage
to
conuerse
with
a
cowarde
but
a
twelue-moneth
,
to
liue
with
them
,
and
be
nourished
with
such
faint
blood
,
cannot
choose
but
make
them
like
safetie
best
,
and
prize
a
whole
skin
aboue
honor
.
I
do
not
thinke
women
are
much
more
faultie
in
Natures
abilities
then
men
,
but
they
faile
in
education
,
they
are
kept
ignorant
,
and
so
fearefull
;
Instead
of
these
L●curgian
courses
,
I
would
haue
them
learned
&
experienced
,
let
them
know
as
much
as
we
know
,
and
then
doublesse
they
would
be
as
fearelesse
as
we
are
,
I
am
much
against
that
Romaine
lawe
,
that
prohibiteth
commanders
wiues
going
to
the
warres
with
their
husbands
,
all
obiections
set
apart
,
their
common-wealth
would
haue
gained
by
it
,
for
doubtlesse
a
wenche
that
hath
beene
in
many
countries
,
seene
many
battailes
,
and
is
full
of
experience
,
is
excellent
to
breed
on
,
and
if
the
Nurse
were
there
to
,
it
were
well
,
for
from
her
teat
they
suck
somwhat
of
her
constitution
,
in
which
I
doubt
whether
there
be
not
some
fault
,
for
we
take
the
wiues
of
our
groomes

tenants
,
to
feede
these
little
ones
,
and
mingle
grosse
&
heauie
blood
,
with
their
gentile
and
spirited
natures
.
This
is
that
I
thinke
,
now
to
that
I
see
:
there
is
no
vice
that
wee
blame
so
much
to
blame
as
this
,
no
vice
so
putrifieth
mans
best
part
as
this
,
for
though
voluptuousnesse
and
other
frailties
,
will
abuse
the
office
of
wit
,
&
procure
warrants
for
their
purposes
,
yet
in
none
doth
wit
strengthen
opinion
with
such
strong
arguments
,
as
she
doth
feare
,
she
will
heere
transforme
bushes
into
men
,
bul-rushes
into
Speares
,
any
thing
into
any
thing
,
being
still
desirous
of
matter
and
occasion
to
do
her selfe
hurt
:
man
had
neede
beware
of
these
imbecillities
,
for
their
neighborhood
to
his
reason
makes
them
obstinate
;
hence
commeth
it
,
that
no
creature
is
so
good
and
so
bad
as
man
,
for
all
other
creatures
are
bound
by
nature
,
but
the
vniuersall
circuit
of
mans
minde
,
hath
leaue
to
runne
,
into
the
extreame
and
furthest
parte
of
things
,
which
since
it
hath
,
well
may
we
profit
by
it
,
as
well
as
receaue
losse
,
who
hath
the

of
his

,
and
so
much
of
yeares
,
as
may
make
him
hould
the
relations
of
the

shall
finde
the
worst
of
calamity
to
bee
a
thing
so
ordinary
and
so
incident
to
the
life
of
man
,
as
not
at
all
to
feare
their
approche
but
imbrace
them
as
the
appendixes
and
connections
of

.
I
was

againe
not

must
giue

that

ruine

my

I

I
was

when
I
am
so
againe

I
shall
not

fame
and

such
things
are
coine
of
our
stamping

only
currant
with
our
pouerties

those
opposites
to

fauorites
of

,
to

How
many
thousands
of
states
are
gone
and
vanquished
,
and
hardly
so
much
as
that
they
were
,
is
left
,
how
many
millions
of
examples
haue
we
of
things
finished
,
as
full
of
terror
and
terriblenesse
as
feare
can
possibly
imagine
?
certaynely
the
payne
of
things
rest
not
in
the
execution
,
but
in
the
conceiued
opinion
,
for
it
is
too
short
to
be
greeuous
,
we
make
no
account
of
the
cramp
,
because
it
stayes
not
,
yet
for
the
time
questionlesse
it
assaulteth
the
body
more
sharpely

the
Ague
,
death
is

a
crampe

therefore
knowledge
an
Ague
,
looking
into
the
state
of
feare

I
finde
she
liues
by
two
meanes
,
by
ignorance
and
by
knowledge
,
by
ignorance
as
the
feare
of
children
,
by
knowledge
when
malice
compelles
knowledge
to
goe
agaynst

knowledge

we
are
borne
with

and

mittigate
with
industrie

the
second
vertue
expelles
.
Of
the
first
I
haue
alreadie
spoken
something
,
of
which
I
say
agayne
the
industrious
search
of
letters
vncaceth
al
these
terrible
apparitions
that
seeme
terrible
to
the
vulgar

should

these

onely
good

opinion

estimation
giues

they

There
is
no
good
to
be
done
vpon
these
things
but
by
contempt
and
scorne
,
and
withall
knowing
the
things
contrary
to
feare
,
are
no
more
riche
nor
solid
in
contentment

these
are
procurers

dangerous

no

our

that

there
is
a

destinated
to
our

and
in
the
vse
of

is
our
cunning
,
and
in
this
running
the
best
lesson
is
,
not
to
be
apprehensiue
of
the
stormes

,
he
that
cries

must
necessarily
laugh

qualitie

and
shall
men
crye
them
mercie

say
they
mistooke
my
sorrow

calamitie

Those
things
that
are
necessitated
,
ther
s
an
end
of
them
,
they
must
be
done
,
those
things
that
may
be
resisted

resisted
gallantly

incounter
danger

you
shall
soone
know
his
pleasure

As

the

,
for
all
griefes
must
be
cured
like

by
the

of
the
wounding
weapon

by
it selfe

Mee
thinks
Virgil
makes
Aeneas
speake
too
like

commanded

saith
;

Well
if
Aeneas
were
of
this
minde
,
it
was
not
Dame
Venus
,
but
Dame
Feare
,
that
wished
him
to
flye
from
Troy
and
it
was
not
a
clowd
but
cowardise
that
incompassed
him
.
There
is
a
great
deale
of
weakenesse
and
too
much
moysture
in
these
heads
,
that
cannot
stir
their
memories
▪
but
straight
it
will
raine
.
Saint
Augustine
remembers
in
his
confession
,
the
expence
of
teares
that
he
was
at
,
when
he
read
Didoes
end
,
verily
it
became
his
condition
well
,
for
teares
are
onely
due
when
we
fall
short
in
our
reckenings
with
God
,
then
teares
and
repentance
is
behouefull
,
but
in
any
other
case
,
it
is
vnnecessarie
,
nay
more
it
is
vndecent
.
I
haue
not
yet
spoken
of
those
far
fetched
feares
that
are
drawne
not
from
any
apparencie
of
danger
,
that
is
eyther
felt
or
seene
,
but
from
dreames
,
incountring
with
Hares
,
and
the
Salte
spilling
,
other
that
go
by
the
signes
,
or
by
Prognostications
,
prophecies
,
and
auguries
;
times
past
were
much
gouerned
by
these
.
It
is
said
Augustus
was
verye
inquisitiue
about
his
owne
dreames
and
his
friends
;
it
was
great
pitie
,
for
he
was
otherwise
a
very
wise
Prince
,
but
he
had
a
great
fortune
,
and
a
mortall
body
,
which
are
still
at
variance
,
and
blind-foldes
the
true
discerning
in
which
time
,
feare
creepes
in
&
ouer-valuing
life
,
drawes
preseruation
from
wrong
places
.
For
these
auguries
and
fetching
things
from
the
intrayles
of
beasts
,
it
was
not
amisse
then
,
〈◊〉
no
state
can
be
vpholden
without
religion
,
no
people
are
well
gouerned
or
succesfull
in
their
attempts
,
without
the
annexion
of
diuine
hopes
to
their
earthly
strength
:
but
now
when
that
is
done
by
the
true
meanes
,
when
men
may
fetch
hope
from
a
cleere
possibilitie
,
these
things
are
to
be
discarded
,
&
to
trust
to
the
soundnesse
of
religion
.
For
the
signes
,
I
remember
a
speach
of
Cassius
to
a
South-sayer
,
that
wished
him
not
to
fight
with
the
Parthians
vntill
the
Moone
had
passed
Scorpio
,
hee
answered
,
hee
feared
not
Scorpio
but
the
Archers
;
These
things
are
least
of
all
to
bee
feared
,
they
begge
feare
that
picke
them
out
of
these
occasions
,
hee
that
will
interprete
mischaunces
out
of
these
things
,
may
take
his
leaue
of
tranquillitie
,
for
some
of
them
happen
euery
daye
,
which
being
inforced
to
these
ill
presages
,
makes
the
vulgar
so
full
of
sighs
,
exclamations
,
and
vncertainties
;
Scinditur
incertum
studia
in
contraria
vulgus
.
There
are
no
mischances
,
there
is
no
fortune
,
there
is
no
miserie
in
our
humaine
liues
,
except
we
looke
into
the
feeblenesse
of
our
merits
,
&
our
Creators
bountie
,
in
other
things
we
are
deceiued
by
imagination
,
the
circumstances
of
things
are
more
then
themselues
:
Exovitur
clamorque
virum
,
clangorque
tubarum
.
It
may
be
so
,
is
it
any
more
then
death
?
tush
cruelty
can
do
no
more
,
and
for
that
,
put
but
away
opinion
,
and
it
is
soone
gone
.
In
the
meane
time
,
see
the
behauiour
of
the
suppressed
Troyans
weaklings
,
&
the
children
of
Fortitude
,
and
thinke
who
carried
themselues

who
would

of

no

there
is

there
let
vs
end

for
those
terrours
that
are
exhaled
by
a
guilty
conscience
,
they
are
more
incurable
then
any
other
,
in
spight
of
vice
,
our
knowledge
miscaried
,
will
returne
and
complaine
of
her
abuse
,
and
the
impression
of
her
fault
bring
feare
,
and
feare
presents
thoughts
of
terror
,
thus
Nero
beheld
his
murthered
mother
;
thus
tyrants
are
no
where
safe
,
though
in
the
midst
of
their
strengths
.
This
made
Dionisius
make
an
Image
that
singed
off
his
sonnes
haire
,
not
daring
to
trust
a
Barbar
;
this
made
Alexander
Pheraeus
vse
to
haue
his
wife
searched
for
feare
of
murdering
him
,
guiltinesse
cannot
be
without
feare
,
neither
will
Iustice
long
delaye
their
execution
▪
which
in
themselues
they
finde
,
and
so
feare
euery
thing
is
a
hangman
.
Many
of
the
Romane
Emperours
at
the
hearing
of
the
thunder
would
creep
vnder
their
beddes
and
seeke
shelter
of
the
most
vnable
things
to
defend
them
,
poore
people
,
it
was
not
the
thunder
but
their
consciences
put
them
in
minde
,
like
sea
sicke
persons
that
complaine
of
the
sea
when
it
is
their
troubled
stomackes
that
diseaseth
them
,
but
this
argument
fitteth
a
more
diuine
hand
,
to
them
I
leaue
the
examination
of
this
honest
remembrancer
conscice
,
and
end
with
the
example
of
Numa
Pompilius
and
Aurelius
,
who
neede
no
gardes
,
for
they
were
honest
men
,
they
feared
not
,
for
they
were
vertuous
and
vertue
cannot
feare
,
such
is
the
power
of
that
excellent
and
true
guide
of
humanity

Of
Silence
and
Secrecie

IT
is
pitye
this
quality
must
borrow
wordes
to
expresse
it
worth
,
but
it
is
no
more
infortunate
then
all
things
which
to
become
knowne
,
must
borrow
sound
and
ayer
,
for
though
wee
can
thinke
,
yet
thinke
we
not
that
enough
without
sending
our
thoughtes
abroad
to
the
censures
of
men
.
I
confesse
speach
is
to
the
minde
,
as
conuenient
hauens
to
townes
,
by
whose
currents
they
grow
ritch
and
mightye
,
but
it
dooth
as
these
places
of
traffique
doe
,
bring
in
not
onely
commodities
profitable
and
wholesome
,
but
luxuries
,
corruption
,
and
delicacie
,
I
cannot
well
tell
then
which
I
should
preferre
of
speach
and
silence
,
since
the
one
doth
to
much
the
other
to
litle
,
speache
inritching
and
corrupting
,
silence
being
poore
but
honest
,
but
these
are
extremities
which
neuer
prosper
,
vntill
brought
into
the
meane
,
whose
mediocritie
keepes
each
end
from
falling
,
with-holding
and
paizing
each
side
with
the
holdfast
of
the
middest
.
I
am
not
against
speach
,
but
babling
,
which
consumes
time
,
and
profiteth
no
body
,
it
is
one
of
the
blessings
of
nature
,
speache
;
but
to
ride
still
vpon
the
top
of
it
,
is
too
vehement
;
they
are
at
great
paines
with
feeding
hungrie
●ares
,
and
to
speake
truly
,
are
the
very
bellowes
to
kindle
laughter
,
it
carieth
not
onely
this
fault
,
for
with
all
,
it
is
vnsafe
,
wordes
discouering
the
minde
,
and
negligently
giuing
all
eyes
the
sight
of
the
heart
.
There
is
a
wise
Philosopher
that
calles
wordes
the
shadowes
of
deeds
,
Sermo
operis
vmbra
,
this
is
his
best
,
which
is
so
slender
as
the
true
affectors
of
things
,
will
giue
their
thoughts
bodies
and
translate
them
more
substancially
.
There
is
a
more
noblenes
in
deeds
,
in
which
may
be
read
the
worthinesse
and
vnworthines
of
men
truely
,
whiles
words
greatest
gaines
,
dooth
but
promise
things
,
performing
nothing
.
I
finde
no
men
affecting
actions
more
throughly
then
these
people
of
faire
wordes
,
which
makes
mee
feare
these
ingrossers
of
speech
,
are
constituted
of
too
much
winde
and
ayre
,
and
want
that
solidity
which
is
meete
in
the
generation
of
this
deere
issue
of
ours
,
our
actions
,
which
neuer
faile
to
resemble
vs
more
neerely
,
then
the
children
of
our
body
.
Phocion
was
preferred
before
Demosthenes
,
because
he
spake
not
much
,
but
fild
his
speach
with
stuffe
,
and
was
sparing
of
Rhetoricke
▪
and
full
of
reason
.
If
he
tels
me
their
nature
a
right
,
I
ioyne
with
his
choise
;
it
is
with
these
for
bettering
the
hearers
,
as
it
is
betweene
a
few
dishes
well
dressed
and
a
great
feast
,
the
sparing
speaker
giues
you
that
which
is
wholsome
and
ouerburdens
not
your
memory
with
superfluitie
;
the
wording
Orator
is
like
our
English
feasts
,
where
the
stomack
must
winne
way
to
the
second
course
,
with
bearing
the
burthen
of
the
first
,
&
when
he
comes
to
it
,
hath
lost
the
bettering
himselfe
by
it
,
through
the
heauinesse
of
his
first
receipt
:
when
I
heare
one
of
these
common
speakers
laying
vp
his
stomack
,
I
let
his
words
passe
without
any
more
attention
then
I
bestow
vpon
a
clock
,
when
I
care
not
for
the
howre
,
but
he
that
solicits
my
eares
but
seldome
,
I
receiue
his
pleasure
with
pleasure
,
and
willingly
graunt
him
a
roome
in
my
memorie
.
It
was
well
aduised
by
Cleanthes
to
one
that
intreated
him
to
instruct
his
sonne
,
hee
saide
,
be
silent
,
for
besides
the
aduantage
that
he
hath
of
a
talker
,
of
hauing
all
he
knowes
without
paying
him
any
thing
for
it
,
receauing
it
scot-free
,
it
is
also
more
becomming
&
instructing
,
for
his
behauiour
is
not
carryed
out
of
the
way
with
following
his
wordes
,
and
out
of
that
silent
behauiour
there
is
more
wisedome
to
be
learned
then
from
a
multitude
of
wordes
,
and
more
with
intertaining
this
silence
,
for
he
receiues
from
her
,
her
wise
and
safe
daughter
Secrecie
.
Were
I
sure
all
men
thought
iust
with
me
,
secrecie
were
not
necessarie
,
but
since
the
speaker
and
expositor
vtter
and
receiue
with
different
mindes
,
and
that
speach
cannot
carry
her selfe
to
meane
iust
as
I
would
haue
her
,
I
must
defend
her
aequiuocall
impotencie
,
with
bestowing
her
onely
where
she
may
be
well
vsed
;
it
seemes
the
late
professors
of
secrecie
,
which
were
not
yet
so
secrete
but
to
confesse
that
if
their
neerest
attyre
were
priuie
to
their
determinations
,
they
would
burne
it
,
receiued
this
Item
from
Metellus
,
by
which
I
will
shew
you
the
example
of
a
double
exposition
,
Montagnia
likes
not
the
protesting
this
,
nor
I
to
say
,
so
,
for
I
would
not
haue
vttred
so
much
,
but
for
the
thing
,
it
is
a
safe
and
an
honest
principle
,
for
I
will
not
conclude
,
their
concealing
things
proceeds
from
the
faultines
,
but
since
ill
hath
gotten
that
power
,
to
conuert
things
well
meant
,
into
their
own
vilde
natures
,
it
is
best
to
keepe
them
from
it
;
the
integritie
of
the
worlde
is
past
,
it
is
too
late
now
to
professe
opennesse
be
it
neuer
so
honest
,
for
so
neete
may
many
of
our
actions
come
to
dangerous
intents
,
as
they
are
best
,
when
onely
in
our
brests
,
for
In

Secrecie
is
of
two
kindes
,
of
our
friends
,
and
of
our
owne
;
that
of
our
friends
,
religion
commaunds
vs
to
keepe
;
that
of
our
owne
,
discreation
:
for
the
first
,
did
he
not
open
me
by
the
power
of
friendship
,
I
would
not
willingly
neither
giue
it
nor
receiue
it
,
for
he
that
meanes
honestly
,
I
thinke
deserues
as
much
thankes
for
being
content
to
heare
,
as
the
other
confidence
in
telling
,
for
we
are
bound
once
more
then
we
were
,
by
his
disclosing
,
and
perhaps
drawne
,
that
we
cannot
eschew
the
dooing
a
fault
,
for
if
his
secret
be
pernitious
,
I
must
betray
him
,
or
my selfe
sinne
,
then
he
must
go
,
and
so
I
forfet
a
friend
,
and
breake
a
principle
of
friendship
.
I
would
heere
vpon
such
a
desire
,
demaund
if
he
sought
it
for
counsels
sake
,
if
so
I
would
heare
him
,
if
otherwise
deny
him
hearing
,
for
howsoeuer
he
meaneth
,
if
he
relieth
vpon
mine
aduise
,
he
shall
meane
,
as
I
would
haue
him
.
Many
States
vsed
to
punish
the
laying
open
of
secrets
,
with
the
losse
of
their
babling
instruments
,
which
was
a
very
iust
lawe
and
a
sure
,
for
no
example
preuailes
with
a
borne
tatler
,
but
the
losse
of
his
pick-lock
;
I
wonder
that
the
Barbarians
generally
doe
not
with
those
slaues
they
imploye
neere
them
,
depriue
them
of
their
tongues
,
as
they
doe
of
their
stones
,
for
feare
of
the
abusing
of
their
wiues
and
concubines
,
me
thinks
they
should
be
as
iealous
of
their
secrets
,
as
they
are
of
their
lusts
.
The
Turkes
they
haue
certaine
Mutes
to
performe
their
executions
,
which
since
they
are
in
for
worse
matter
,
may
be
put
in
amongst
the
rest
for
veniall
;
But
to
speake
as
I
thinke
,
I
hould
the
people
subiect
to
this
flux
of
words
very
dangerous
,
for
by
such
,
Scilla
found
where
the
possession
of
Athens
might
easilest
be
attempted
,
by
Flauius
that
had
this
disease
.
The
citie
of
Rome
had
the
plague
of
a
tyrant
continued
,
I
neuer
knew
tatling
a
safegarde
,
but
the
geese
that
preserued
the
Capitoll
,
which
the
Romaines
rewarded
with
great
care
,
popular
states
being
neuer
ingratefull
to
geese
,
these
are
all
to
be
shunned
,
for
their
couuersations
are
more
vnsafe
then
the
fellowship
of
the
most
malicious
,
wordes
being
more
pernicious
then
blowes
,
for
no
Fencer
can
warde
them
.
Of
our
owne
secrets
the
discouerie
bewrayes
a
great
feeblenesse
and
impotencie
,
it
resembleth
a
clowde
,
that
by
the
sunne
is
possessed
of
hotte
exhalations
,
but
is
so
weake
as
not
to
keepe
them
,
desire
drawes
vp
thoughts
of
assistance
,
but
when
the
desirer
hath
them
,
ouer-burthened
with
their
strength
,
they
burst
out
and
dissolue
him
;
thus
all
his
attempts
ouerwaying
the
minde
,
are
brought
to
nothing
,
which
weakenesse
of
mans
were
ill
,
were
not
man
so
ill
as
to
haue
ill
affected
thoughts
,
but
hauing
such
it
is
well
,
for
thus
most
conspiracies
against
Princes
are
preuented
:
for
an
honest
man
,
it
is
a
great
blessing
,
for
a
dishonest
the
contrary
,
an
excellent
punishment
.
So
must
I
conclude
of
secrecie
,
which
if
you
will
call
craft
or
pollicie
,
I
must
answere
you
with
these
two
verses

Of

BEhold

the

the

of
the

the

the

vnto

polititians
in
the

in

fetching
in
strange
conclusions
to
vphold
practises
;
this
is
the
garland
,
that
makes
euery
one
loue
victory
,
this
is
the
reconciling
obiect
of
the
discenting
constitution
&
courses
of
men
,
for
they
al
agree
,
that
contentment
is
the
place
where
they
desire
to
end
their
iourneyes
.
But
that
the
worlde
should
haue
still
the
right
vse
,
and
not
be
desolated
with
mans
neglect
of
inquiring
&
vttering
her
secrets
,
this
contentment
is
fashioned
like
our
loues
,
what
I
call
fayre
,
another

ill
fauored
,
another
out
of
deformities
pickes

;
thus
contentment
,
which
according
to
the
minds
of
men
is
drawne
out
of
a
numberlesse
number
of
courses
,
which
mistery
of
natures
doth
make
all
agree
.
That
contentment
is
to
be
sought
,
and
to
disseuer
them
in
the
manner
of
their
search
,
ioyned
with
the
other
of
making
all
formes
louely
in
some

,
vphouldes
the

for
by
this
last

the

peopled

by
the

the

left
vnnoted

stirres

the
chiefe

Thus
do
we
propound
a

and
make
euery

beget

eyther

when

when
according

the

when

so

35.
Of
Trappes
for
Fame
.
I
Had
not
neede
to
teache
the
world
new
opinions
,
for
I
holde
all
I
know
,
more
by
tradition
,
then
reason
,
I
haue
a
braine
like
a
French
force
,
that
dooth
it
best
first
,
my
incountring
an
argument
is
most
vigorous
at
the
prime
opposition
.
I
after
fall
and
waxe
lazie
,
and
in
truth
shallowe
,
I
doe
nothing
well
,
but
speake
much
worse
then
I
write
,
and
perhaps
worse
(
in
something
)
then
I
can
doe
,
which
I
must
confesse
the
fault
of
my
braine
,
for
I
neither
lispe
,
stutt
,
nor
speake
in
the
throate
,
nature
hath
made
the
cariadge
of
my
wordes
large
,
and
swift
enough
,
but
I
wante
marchandize
and
stuffe
,
the
Italian
ciuilitie
would
well
fitte
mee
,
where
the
ouerthrowe
of
an
Appositor
is
counted
discourtesie
,
and
they
call
him
in
disgrace
,
Vince
guerra
.
The
reason
of
this
exordium
,
is
the
view
of
the
workes
of
Nature
,
and
our
varietie
vpon
them
,
fewe
men
receiue
any
thing
with
the
like
vse
,
but
occasions
or
things
represented
,
begets
in
one
,
feare
,
in
another
,
furie
,
in
a
third
,
feares
harbinger
amazement
,
in
a
fourth
desperation
,
some
of
these
differ
much
,
yet
shall
one
occasion
beget
all
these
at
one
instant
,
which
makes
me
thinke
our
discourse
findes
out
more
vses
of
things
,
then
our
senses
qualities
,
yet
am
I
not
of
Empericus
minde
,
who
holdes
the
quallities
of
things
to
be
more
in
number
then
our
sences
,
and
that
we
recken
our
knowledge
to
see
all
,
as
Alexander
conquered
the
world
,
because
in
his
time
there
was
no
more
knowne
.
I
am
not
of
his
opinion
,
for
all
things
being
made
for
man
,
and
his
sences
being
fit
for
both
life
&
knowledge
,
his
seruants
sure
which
are
all
things
sensible
,
haue
no
more
trickes
then
he
knowes
of
.
But
thus
new
am
I
in
opinion
,
that
the
receptacle
of
our
sences
intelligence
,
with
ioyning
,
quartering
,
and
mixing
things
,
imploye
them
farre
from
their
accustomed
properties
,
which
my
subiect
here
will
plainly
exemplifie
.
Man
being
the
most
substanciall
and
most
canning
peece
,
accompanied
with
a
head
that
masters
and
is
Lord
of
all
things
;
How
hath
he
fallen
this
second
time
,
more
vainely
deceiued
,
and
more
miserably
punished
then
in
the
first
?
He
fell
then
with
a
baite
pleasing
to
one
sence
,
and
when
he
fell
,
fell
vpon
a
good
substanciall
body
,
where
there
was
good
footing
,
and
hope
to
,
of
rising
,
but
here
he
is
fallen
into
smoake
where
he
may
be
choaked
,
but
cannot
liue
nor
walke
,
he
is
fallen
into
fame
;
to
entertaine
which
I
know
no
sence
destinated
,
vpon
a
thing
not
to
be
handled
,
not
to
be
ridden
,
not
to
be
seene
;
children
would
not
haue
doted
thus
;
not
to
be
eaten
,
gluttons
would
not
haue
so
miscaried
,
not
to
be
touched
,
an
amorist
would
not
haue
beene
in
loue
with
it
,
not
to
be
heard
by
himselfe
,
a
light
headed
musition
would
haue
shunned
it
,
not
to
be
seene
,
a
Faulconer
would
not
haue
lured
it
;
yet
all
these
that
are
able
to
make
so
good
an
election
of
their
delights
,
sacrifice
to
fame
,
and
flatterie
is
their
priest
.
There
is
certainly
but
one
end
,
whereto
the
intendments
of
man
are
destinated
,
which
prosecuted
rightly
,
is
eternall
happinesse
,
this
is
not
fame
,
for
she
dyeth
often
in
her
birthe
,
commonly
ouercome
by
time
,
and
sometime
men
famous
haue
had
their
memories
dispatcht
,
eyther
by
obliuion
or
detraction
,
before
death
hath
made
an
end
of
their
liues
;
all
these
working
where
the
bodyes
growes
couetous
,
and
would
haue
the
gaines
alone
,
are
vicious
,
he
must
not
determine
any
thing
particulerly
,
for
he
is
none
other
then
a
hired
seruant
,
and
his
wages
is
life
,
the
proffit
must
be
giuen
to
the
soule
,
whose
predominant
power
,
is
also
compelled
to
vse
the
body
,
for
the
soules
performances
without
the
body
are
not
vnderstood
,
contemplation
being
a
good
vnprofitable
naked
life
.
Both
working
together
,
and
both
agreeing
in
their
purpose
questionlesse
,
they
would
determine
vpon
some
more
lasting
rewarde
then
fame
.
They
would
lay
for
vertue
,
for
eternitie
,
for
the
fruition
of
a
neuer
dying
happinesse
,
but
this
Essay
must
speake
like
it selfe
,
not
what
should
be
,
but
what
is
,
them
to
the
baites
for
fame
:
The
actions
of
these
differ
not
,
from
the
prouocations
of
vertue
,
for
as
much
as
appeares
outwardly
,
for
they
professe
valour
,
temperance
,
liberalitie
,
and
the
rest
of
the
lims
of
honor
and
honestie
,
but
in
the
minde
that
works
these
motions
,
is
the
disagreement
,
the
one
being
spurred
by
vertue
,
th'
other
importuned
by
the
tickling
of
applause
.
This
same
those
ancient
Philosophers
that
so
much
enueighed
against
fame
,
well
knowing
the
tyrannie
of
such
thoughts
,
which
where
they
get
entrance
,
ouerthrowe
all
that
rest
in
the
place
more
modestly
humored
.
Infinite
are
the
baites
that
are
laide
to
catch
this
,
nothing
farre
surmounting
the
number
which
curious
Fishers
haue
found
out
,
and
yet
in
one
thing
they
well
agree
,
for
they
fit
the
couerer
of
their
deceit
to
the
time
;
Fishers
hauing
flies
for
the
spring
,
the
fall
,
and
the
winter
,
fame
catchers
,
countenance
,
seemings
,
and
aspects
,
for
a
state
good
,
or
bad
,
or
indifferent
,
both
their
baites
go
downe
the
streame
,
both
purchase
not
by
force
but
deceipt
,
both
looke
pleasing
,
but
swallowed
,
are
dangerous
,
and
to
conclude
,
both
labour
for
their
bodies
not
their
mindes
.
To
speake
of
those
petty
fishers
,
that
nip
their
bodies
,
and
cast
them
into
more
mowldes
,
then
their
mothers
bellyes
,
that
neuer
read
any
thing
but
how
their
ruffes
stand
in
a
glasse
,
or
of
those
that
growe
olde
in
the
obtaining
the
name
of
a
good
Fencer
,
dauncer
,
vaulter
or
wrastler
,
were
to
no
purpose
.
These
are
but
trifles
,
and
indeed
,
though
not
vertuous
yet
plaine
dealers
,
for
a
ietting
behauiour
,
or
an
action
with
their
hands
,
or
the
curiositie
of
their
clothes
discouers
them
;
no
I
will
speake
of
those
that
Painte
so
in
oyle
,
as
the
examination
of
a
sharpe
raine
will
hardly
discouer
them
,
of
those
that
carry
the
worlde
about
by
the
nose
,
of
those
that
keepe
their
mindes
more
hid
in
,
then
women
their
limmes
,
how
many
of
these
masked
creatures
haue
mine
eyes
beheld
,
laden
with
the
honors
of
the
world
,
and
set
in
the
highest
top
of
estimation
,
who
,
were
the
world
inquisitiue
any
further
then
the
outward
sight
,
they
should
haue
found
,
not
vertuous
,
but
betrayers
of
vertue
,
Rogues
with
counterfait
pasports
,
and
coyners
of
false
money
,
inwardly
though
they
be
idle
,
yet
they
baite
their
hooke
with
a
profession
,
of
which
they
continually
talke
and
acte
their
partes
,
like
Nero
his
Philosophers
,
whose
wisdome
laye
in
their
vnkembde
hayre
,
and
rugged
beards
,
and
ill
cloathing
,
and
counterfeite
grauitie
.
Nec
de●rant
,
qui
voce
vultuque
suo
tristi
inter
oblectamenta
regia
,
spectare
cuperent
.
Thus
contrary
are
they
to
the
time
,
when
their
singularitie
may
puachase
admiration
without
danger
.
The
valiantest
of
these
will
be
souldiers
,
but
vnwillingly
feele
eyther
danger
or
hardnesse
.
But
no
profession
nourisheth
them
worse
then
this
,
for
at
sometimes
this
gallant
actiue
life
will
bring
him
vpon
triall
in
spighte
of
his
hart
,
when
these
gilded
spirits
will
be
known
for
the
couerers
of
rotten
bodies
;
this
life
of
armes
hath
almost
discouered
the
whole
worlde
of
famemongers
,
for
it
is
a
receiued
axiom
Honor
once
acquired
,
is
not
to
bee
ventured
.
Montania
in
his
obseruations
vpon
Caesar
deales
somewhat
to
indifferently
with
his
taxers
,
for
this
alleadging
a
prouerbe
,
that
the
ould
souldiers
of
Italy
vse
to
mocke
their
young
aduenturers
with
,
calling
them
Bijognio●i●de
Honore
,
in
which
mocke
they
discouer
their
owne
actions
(
let
the
world
thinke
of
them
what
they
will
:
)
to
be
counterfaite
stuffe
.
True
it
is
,
a
quarrell
must
not
be
vndertaken
by
a
priuate
man
without
iust
cause
,
but
hauing
a
iust
cause
,
how
ridiculous
it
is
to
deny
resistance
,
because
already
tryed
,
as
if
because
they
hauing
been
valiant
once
or
twise
,
licenceth
cowardise
for
euer
after
.
A
generall
must
ioyne
to
this
respect
the
occasion
,
if
his
force
be
more
necessarie
at
any
time
,
then
his
direction
,
it
is
necessarie
that
he
vseth
the
fittest
instrument
for
the
time
,
but
to
holde
the
gaines
of
this
vertue
,
as
gamesters
doe
their
gettings
at
play
,
which
because
they
haue
〈◊〉
much
,
will
aduenture
no
more
,
is
an
impotent
shift
of
a
painted
minde
,
we
are
not
so
neere
the
riches
of
the
minde
,
as
we
can
be
full
,
neither
is
vertue
so
inconstant
,
as
to
let
the
outward
sences
obscure
her
worth
,
the
soule
that
begins
with
vertue
,
whether
she
winnes
or
looses
,
is
still
vertuous
,
and
her
disciples
rest
not
,
because
they
haue
filled
the
mouthes
of
men
with
praises
,
but
because
occasion
offers
them
not
combates
of
this
kinde
,
for
so
formed
is
the
minde
of
vertue
,
that
hazardes
looke
not
terriblie
vpon
her
,
comming
into
battels
and
skyrmidges
,
as
into
the
Schoole
of
her
exercise
.
Surely
,
there
are
fewe
humaine
actions
but
may
be
bettered
,
&
if
not
bettered
,
yet
at
least
wayes
equalled
,
and
so
the
number
being
increased
,
they
are
better
,
the
oftener
they
are
performed
,
winning
i●
comparison
the
lesse
,
but
so
dangerous
are
our
natures
,
as
they
surfet
both
with
good
and
bad
,
actions
bearing
grace
,
so
ouerpeizing
the
bodyes
basenesse
,
as
he
knoweth
not
how
to
vse
his
victories
.
I
haue
seene
fewe
that
haue
beene
happy
in
these
atchiuements
,
but
some
tricke
of
pride
,
disdaine
,
or
ouer-valewing
himselfe
,
hath
made
him
a
looser
by
his
ritch
commoditie
.
When
I
read
Liuie
,
I
found
times
past
were
euen
with
vs
in
this
imperfection
,
for
Publius
Horatius
murther
of
his
sister
,
because
she
kindly
did
her
kinde
in
bewailing
the
death
of
her
slaine
spouse
,
was
the
vomit
of
the
vndigested
honor
that
he
had
one
.
But
I
think
the
Romaines
were
not
sorrie
for
it
,
for
such
states
know
better
how
to
reuenge
then
rewarde
.
Successe
and
fortune
,
are
like
hot
Wines
that
immeasurably
taken
,
helpe
not
digestion
,
but
set
the
straine
on
fire
,
for
such
meditations
are
as
burthensome
to
the
braine
,
as
waight
to
the
shoulders
.
I
confesse
there
is
a
great
satisfaction
in
the
executing
of
these
high
attempts
,
and
I
hould
them
not
hurtfull
,
but
restoratiues
to
the
minde
,
if
managed
by
the
skill
of
reason
,
and
thought
of
by
a
knowledge
,
able
to
limit
the
desert
.
I
would
choose
a
young
man
that
loues
fame
,
much
sooner
then
a
heauy
spirited
fellowe
whose
sluggish
earthly
thoughts
cannot
mount
so
hie
.
A
young
man
of
this
fierie
condition
,
a
little
allayed
,
will
make
a
wise
man
and
a
vertuous
man
,
but
in
age
it
is
a
disease
incurable
.
I
do
owe
very
great
respect
to
those
metalled
yongsters
,
that
thinke
of
honor
and
of
high
practises
,
euen
that
condemned
fellow
of
the
worlde
,
that
sought
Fame
in
the
ashes
of
the
Temple
of
Ephesus
,
I
thinke
he
would
haue
equaled
Caesar
,
if
he
had
had
education
answerable
to
his
spirite
.
Honor
hath
but
two
wings
wherewith
shee
mounts
aboue
the
vulgar
,
daring
,
and
applying
,
and
this
fellow
had
one
of
them
,
he
durst
,
but
wanting
the
other
,
the
poore
creature
fell
,
&
ruined
himselfe
.
The
next
are
fellows
that
(
fearing
blowes
)
honour
peace
,
and
crie
out
with
Tullie
,
Cedant
arma
togae
,
concedat
laurea
linguae
:
These
shoote
at
Fame
,
vnder
grauitie
and
iustice
,
ending
all
their
actions
with
the
commendations
of
peace
,
excusing
the
bastardy
of
their
natures
with
the
Grammer
rule
,
Dulce
bellum
inexpertis
,
and
houlding
wisdomes
best
qualitie
,
to
consist
in
keeping
the
bodie
warme
and
whole
.
I
would
haue
little
to
do
with
this
people
willingly
,
were
they
not
a
member
of
mine
argument
,
which
since
they
are
,
I
must
say
of
them
,
their
greatest
hurt
is
vnprofitablenesse
,
they
shoote
but
lowe
and
not
farre
,
lesse
fame
will
serue
them
,
then
Alexander
would
haue
asked
for
his
little
finger
,
in
a
word
,
they
are
good
foyles
ro
adde
to
the
lustre
of
a
Iewell
,
or
like
cyfers
that
make
figures
pretious
.
There
are
more
wittie
cowards
of
a
higher
reache
and
more
profit
,
that
like
Tully
will
smell
danger
farre
off
,
the
vaine
affectation
of
these
fellowes
,
is
a
patterne
of
their
generall
natures
,
which
is
full
of
a
blowne
pride
,
and
a
dastardlie
shining
,
what
wise
honest
man
durst
haue
beene
so
bould
as
this
fellowe
,
to
crie
out
himselfe
?
Ego
meis
maioribus
virtute
Proeluxi
;
but
they
are
valiant
in
things
that
vallor
feares
,
they
dare
not
incounter
an
enemy
,
nor
beholde
danger
,
but
they
dare
do
things
more
terrible
,
disgrace
their
auncesters
,
and
commend
themselues
.
This
is
not
they
but
the
false
ground
they
build
vpon
,
which
is
euer
shrinking
and
showing
his
burthen
,
it
is
impossible
that
the
motions
of
a
minde
led
onely
by
fame
,
should
be
otherwise
,
then
a
trembling
vnsettled
thing
,
that
is
vertue
only
,
that
repells
feare
,
and
feare
only
that
makes
life
troublesome
,
without
Vertue
,
Iustice
is
not
;
without
Iustice
,
no
tranquillitie
,
Iustus
a
perturbatione
remotissimus
,
in
iustus
perturbatione
plenus
est
.
Well
may
these
fellowes
follow
and
goe
with
company
,
but
leade
,
or
go
alone
they
cannot
,
feare
and
the
affection
of
fame
are
inseperable
and
though
they
set
a
gallant
countenance
outward
,
yet
inwardly
they
looke
for
assistance
as
well
as
prayses
.
These
false
Laizers
that
counterfaite
the
faire
essentall
hue
of
vertue
,
vntried
,
may
seeme
the
same
,
but
they
are
too
cheaply
obtained
to
hold
al
wethers
,
they
buy
not
nor
boyle
not
those
neuer
stayning
colours
that
dyes
in
graine
,
but
cozin
the
world
with
trash
,
that
can
goe
no
farther
then
imitation
,
they
are
to
themselues
vncertain
,
to
their
frends
hollow
and
weake
,
inconstant
they
must
be
,
for
they
fetch
all
their
determinations
from
the
continuances
of
other
mens
and
vpon
them
build
either
by
scornefull
lookes
,
or
the
basest
basest
deiecction
:
oft
times
haue
I
seene
these
supposed
grauities
so
pinched
vp
in
formalitie
,
as
without
question
they
haue
indured
more
paine
for
same
,
then
a
fellow
infamous
in
the
stockes
,
it
is
odds
but
they
act
their
parts
first
by
themselues
,
&
after
get
them
by
heart
,
they
spitte
all
one
way
,
and
vppon
no
occasion
will
alter
the
tune
of
their
hem●es
,
and
coughes
,
their
bodies
&
their
heads
go
alwayes
together
,
they
must
not
turne
the
one
without
the
other
,
neuer
laugh
,
let
the
occasion
bee
neuer
so
iust
,
their
eyes
must
neuer
make
a
turne
,
but
gallop
right
forward
,
in
a
word
,
they
are
lockt
vp
in
formality
,
and
barred
is
the
chest
,
where
they
inclosed
with
the
eyes
of
men
.
Were
there
a
more
substancialnesse
of
fame
then
there
is
,
this
were
a
deare
earning
of
it
,
to
deny
the
course
of
nature
in
these
indifferent
things
,
nay
it
is
more
,
for
it
makes
nature
a
superfluous
Artizan
,
for
wee
neede
no
limmes
to
play
this
part
,
no
not
a
soule
,
for
my
picture
can
doe
this
,
better
then
I

Vbi

This
medicine
tastes
ill
,
the
cure
is
earnd
to
dearly
to
swallow
this
potion
for
amendment
,
I
had
rather
be
diseased
with
some
ill
iestures
,
then
put
on
these
French
bodies
of
formalitie
.
I
am
rather
of
Epicurus

,
who
would
lay
in
iust
so
much
prouision
of
fame
,
as
would
defend
him
from
contempt

Gloriae

to

of

plaine

leaue
the
rest
to
the
world
to
do
,
what
they
will
withall

for
wee
haue
more

of
other

,
we
are
too
much
behind

is
an

of

what

bee

pleasures

false

,

do
yet
liue
and
leaue
our

and
haue

to

this
is
not
purchased
by
flattery
but
by
continuall
correcting
and
amending
of
our
wandering
ill
shapen
thoughtes
and
actions
.
Those
that
baite
fame
with
misery
,
and
with
immoderate
longing
after
riches
and
the
basest
earthly
compositions
of
all
others
,
thirst
whiles
it
goeth
no
further
,
is
good
for
it
is
the
heigh
way
to
temperance
;
besides
I
thinke
it
a
great
sinne
to
consume
wastfully
the
inheritance
of
our
auncestors
,
the
Grecians
had
a
law
,
that
denyed
them
there
fathers
sepulchre
that
consumed
their
patrimonies
wastfully
,
and
great
reason
I
thinke
;
for
wee
cannot
behould
a
more
lamentable
sight
,
then
to
see
a
house
that
hath
long
stoode
in
honor
and
reputation
ruined
and
desolated
by
prodigality
,
It
maintaynes
aboundaunce
,
which
freeth
vs
from
many
vaine
thoughts
,
that
loue
that
most
,
which
they
haue
not
,
they
that
haue
not
much
,
must
loue
frugality
or
else
they
will
haue
lesse
,
they
that
haue
much
,
by
frugality
keepe
it
from
wasting
,
they
that
are
left
rich
it
is
irreligious
not
to
leaue
theirs
rich
;
but
of
these
Epicurus
speakes
in
one
of
his
Epistles
to
more
purpose
.
Frugalitatem

But
he
that
will
draw
worthinesse
from
wealth
how
dooth
he
robbe
heauen
,
and
dispoyle
vs
of
the
graces
of

?
questionlesse
the
robbing
of
a
Church
is
not
so
sacrelegious
,
neede
causeth
the
ones
theft
,
but
this
theft
comes
from
to
much
aboundaunce
,
hee
leaues
vs
the
most
miserable
and
needy
creatures
of
the
worlde
,
for
wee
haue
neede
of
more
then
beasts
,
yet
none
catch
fame
sooner
then
these
,
more
reuerence
is
throwen
vppon
them
then
vppon
the
most
reuerend
subiect
of
vertue
,
but
it
skills
not
,
wisedome
seeth
their
pouerty
and
pitties
those
,
that
the
world
admires
:
quis

quos

?
The
opinions
of
some
to
be
seldome
seene
,
to
appeare
in
the
eyes
of
men
far
from
the
fashion
of
other
,
to
suffer
any
thing
,
for
a
faire
out
side
,
are
the
courses
that
many
take
,
but
all
these
courses
are
too
strict
and
vnsafe
,
they
promise
much
more
then
they
are
able
to
performe
,
and
suffer
their
habits
to
compell
them
and
leade
them
a
painefull
and
wearisome
iourney
.
Our
determinations
appeare
better
formed
when
performed
,
then
promised
,
they
haue
then
a
faire
birth
&
a
pleasant
,
which
they
haue
not
,
that
prepare
the
eyes
of
men
to
wonder
before
any
thing
commeth
,
the
effect
of
a
promise
,
is
but
the
payment
of
a
debt
.
The
suddainnesse
and
vnexpected
view
of
a
thing
,
makes
it
admirable
and
beautifull
,
which
made
that
ancient
Philosopher
Pittacus
,
forbid
the
talking
of
what
he
will
do
.
Quod
facere
instituis
,
noli
praedicare
,
nam
sifacere
nequi
veris
,
rideberis
.
Now
he
that
in
his
attire
or
customes
affects
a
singularity
&
an
odnesse
,
proclaimes
it
with
many
tongues
,
for
euery
gesture
,
euery
motion
,
&
euery
thing
about
him
is
a
tong
.
The
last
means
is
by
the
way
of
letters
,
which
though
the
instrument
of
all
the
excellentest
actions
of
man
,
being
the
most
neere
&
deere
seruants
of
vertues
,
being
her
chiefe
factor
,
her
other
selfe
,
her
medicine
curing
the
infirmities
of
man
,
expelling
the
leprosie
&
drosse
of
nature
,
yet
not
able
to
defend
her selfe
from
the
being
abused
by
counterfet
seruants
(
vnder
her
band
march
many
)
that
neuer
were
inrolled
nor
interteined
,
but
they
are
easily
found
,
bearing
their
pasports
vpon
their
toungs
,
&
in
their
very
behauiour
,
may
be
easily
seene
how
they
labour
for
applause
.
But
for
the
true
deuoted
seruants
of
letters
,
they
are
questionlesse
,
the
happiest
and
worthiest
of
all
,
receiuing
from
the
pure
springs
of
knowledge
,
a
water
so
quickning
and
cleering
the
sight
,
that
nothing
is
impenitrable
,
be
it
armed
,
eyther
with
distance
,
darkenesse
,
or
with
neuer
so
many
intricate
passages
:
how
much
doe
we
owe
to
times
past
,
that
left
knowledge
so
discouered
and
open
,
as
we
with
much
ease
in
respect
of
theirs
inioye
a
riche
patrimonie
thereof
?
surely
we
owe
a
reuerence
to
their
names
,
and
should
neuer
mention
them
,
without
acknowledgment
of
their
excellencies
,
which
though
they
feele
not
,
yet
doth
it
nourish
industrie
in
the
hearers
,
and
explane
vs
not
robbers
but
debtors
of
the
dead
.
I
happened
very
lately
amongst
my
bookes
to
meete
with
Diogenes
Laertius
,
where
I
was
much
delighted
,
euen
more
then
euer
I
was
with
any
booke
,
for
I
do
beholde
their
words
and
writings
with
nothing
so
good
a
stomack
as
I
do
their
liues
,
and
to
know
what
they
did
;
I
found
hardly
a
page
,
but
I
wished
my
memory
,
to
gather
some
griftes
in
them
,
not
a
line
but
so
full
of
precious
liquor
,
as
the
words
were
too
shorte
wasted
for
the
matter
,
he
is
in
great
estimation
with
me
,
and
shal
be
one
of
my
neerest
companions
,
and
by
Plutarche
his
leaue
,
haue
the
vpper
hand
,
for
I
finde
fewe
of
his
captaines
Philosophers
,
but
amongst
Laertius
Philosophers
,
many
captaines
,
and
instructions
for
common-wealth
causes
,
not
inferiour
to
Plutarche
.
But
in
the
meane
time
the
sight
of
this
aboundance
brought
me
to
feele
more
senciblie
our
dearth
,
such
is
the
barrennesse
of
our
time
,
as
the
worlde
in
an
age
hardlye
brings
forth
a
famous
man
,
which
whether
it
be
the
fault
of
our
idlenesse
,
or
that
our
industries
are
killed
by
sensuality
,
or
tendernesse
or
gluttony
,
I
finde
it
is
so
,
the
cause
were
to
much
curiosity
for
mee
to
hunt
for
.
But
fame
may
rightly
hang
ouer
their
memoryes
,
and
rightly
,
since
they
all
imbraced
the
sweete
effects
of
vertue
without
caring
for
the
estimation
of
men
though
all
the
greatest
Princes
of
the
worlde
continuallye
made
loue
to
them
and
offered
them
aboundance
;
See
the
confession
of
Antigonus
to
Zeno
Citicus
.
In
fortune
and
glory
(
I
thinke
)
I
exceede
thee
,
but
in
the
liberall
studies
and
perfect
felicities
,
which
thou
possessest
,
I
beleeue
,
I
am
by
thee
farre
excelled
,
and
toward
the
end
of
his
Epistle
,
this
periode
,
for
he
that
teacheth
and
instructeth
the
king
of
Macedon
in
vertue
,
certaynely
instructeth
also
both
him
and
his
subiects
to
fortitude
and
honestie
.
How
would
our
glorye
hunters
haue
accepted
of
such
an
embassage
from
a
Prince
,
certaynely
it
would
haue
burst
them
,
or
at
the
least
wayes
haue
distilled
them
into
an
Epistle
most
flaunting
and
adulating
,
but
hee
farre
otherwise
,
comming
no
nearer
commendation
,
then
to
encourage
him
on
in
the
continuaunce
of
his
good
determinations
,
and
sending
a
scholler
of
his
to
him
,
himselfe
through
age
,
beeing
vnfitte
for
trauayle
.
Thus
happye
were
many
of
them
to
deny
the
reputation
of
the
worlde
for
vertues
sake
,
liuing
liues
so
temperate
as
instructions
came
doubly
from
them
,
for
they
that
coulde
not
attaine
vertue
through
the
difficult
pathes
of
Philosophy
,
might
reade
it
and
vnderstand
it
in
their
liues
and
examples
,
yet
this
,
abhorring
the
vulgar
licentious
waye
,
leades
mens
eyes
to
suspition
,
whether
the
entent
bee
fames
or
vertues
;
let
it
,
mee
thinkes
I
heere
them
say
it
shall
not
turne
vs
,
for
vertue
were
not
precious
,
if
not
accompanied
with
danger
and
detraction
.
I
thinke
they
would
haue
said
thus
,
and
so
charitable
am
I
as
the
actions
of
them
drawing
more
neere
the
affectation
of
fame
,
I
interpret
otherwise
;
euen
that
excellent
head
of
our
time
,
the
elder
Scaliger
,
though
he
wrote
many
things
tending
to
his
owne
glory
,
and
did
himselfe
turne
the
inside
of
himselfe
outwarde
,
yet
I
thinke
he
wrote
it
to
spurre
on
sluggish
spirites
to
the
race
of
vertue
,
rather
then
for
his
owne
glorie
or
memorie
.
And
euen
for
Montania
and
my selfe
(
who
in
these
matters
of
excuse
I
may
safelie
ioyne
with
me
,
)
though
we
doe
somtimes
mention
our selues
,
yet
are
we
not
to
bee
suspected
of
intrapping
fame
,
wee
allowe
men
in
their
liues
to
build
their
tombes
,
and
we
allowe
charitie
to
set
the
first
letters
of
their
name
vpon
the
gownes
and
coates
they
giue
in
almes
,
shall
it
not
be
lawfull
then
for
vs
to
build
our
tombes
in
our
papers
?
and
to
weare
our
names
in
our
labours
?
yes
surely
,
it
cannot
be
denied
vs
they
are
our
children
,
which
if
they
resemble
vs
,
it
is
not
a
thing
monsterous
,
but
pleasing
and
naturall
.

Of
Knowledge
.
I
Praise
and
reuerence
the
power
of
these
words
,
Fiat
lux
,
I
honor
the
seperation
,
that
made
the
Chaos
a
world
,
I
reuerence
that
diuine
scituation
of
the
Elements
,
that
dissenting
,
consent
in
their
adioyning
qualities
,
but
of
all
,
the
creature
that
was
made
for
all
,
Let
vs
make
man
;
O
diuinest
breath
,
whose
infusion
made
him
breathe
.
Man
hath
the
superioritie
of
all
,
&
is
the
worthiest
of
all
,
for
he
consisteth
of
a
soule
by
the
fathers
side
,
diuinely
discended
,
and
capable
of
a
deuine
inheritance
,
and
of
a
body
,
the
most
perfect
and
full
of
misteries
,
that
it
is
possible
for
earth
to
put
on
,
whether
can
knowledge
bend
her
force
,
more
excellently
then
,
then
man
to
looke
vpon
man
:
this
knowledge
is
profitable
,
for
it
is
for
himselfe
this
knowledge
is
beautifull
,
others
,
this
omitted
,
is
curiositie
,
others
,
without
this
is
ignorance
,
for
it
hunts
for
light
without
light
,
in
himselfe
he
must
begin
and
end
,
for
in
himselfe
is
the
light
of
reason
,
that
disouereth
all
things
else
.
He
consisteth
of
a
soule
&
a
body
,
by
reason
of
which
soules
accompaning
with
the
body
,
she
knows
nothing
not
incompassed
with
a
materiall
forme
,
from
these
two
are
discended
two
children
,
Reason
and
Affection
;
Reason
is
the
soules
,
and
is
the
mother
of
Knowledge
,
Affection
the
bodies
,
whose
perfection
is
life
,
which
perfection
shee
maintaines
,
the
conduits
yeelding
increase
to
these
two
cesterns
are
the
sences
,
of
which
,
●ight
and
hearing
are
the
seruants
of
the
soule
,
taste
,
touche
,
&
smell
,
the
bodies
,
when
these
attend
their
destinated
functions
,
the
commonwealth
of
man
flourisheth
when
the
soule
is
obeyed
,
&
the
body
obeyeth
,
when
their
seruants
sent
of
Embassages
,
tend
their
commanded
negotiations
,
but
then
ruined
,
when
the
sights
marchandize
,
becomes
pedlers
stuffe
,
&
the
eares
bell
mettal
,
drosse
&
lead
,
when
the
tast
becomes
vnchast
&
is
licourousnes
,
the
smell
so
curious
,
as
to
thinke
nothing
sweet
but
Muske
,
&
the
touche
will
presume
to
be
a
counsellour
and
to
aduise
.
They
differ
not
from
the
frame
of
a
state
,
which
is
in
frame
so
long
as
knowledge
ioines
with
obedience
&
the
liuetenant
of
God
vpon
earth
,
nature
is
obeied
,
but
when
humors
vsurpe
reasons
name
,
and
shadowes
are
beleeued
substanciall
,
then
Ixion
embraceth
a
clowde
for
Iuno
,
so
vanisheth
pleasure
,
and
after
comes
the
torture
of
the
time
breaking
wheele
,
there
is
plesures
reward
.
Hinc

Diuine
knowledge
,
from
whom
preceedeth
all
blessings
none
of
these
mistakings
and
riotts
belong
to
thee
,
but
peace
and
wisedome
,
for
thou
managest
all
things
iudicially
,
that
neither
chaunce
can
ouerthrow
nor
rob
thee
of

.
The

is
like

knowledge
the
circkle

shewing
the

in
this
peece
truely
,
nothing
but
knowledge
can
performe
this
office
,
for
she
sees
them
with
the
eyes
of

with
the
soules
sight
,
heere
are
they
vnmasked
,
heer
the
vniuersal
matter
of
things
is

to

formes

heere

knowledge

all

and
to

and
with
tranquillitie
liues
,
and
without
admiration
sees
,
and
without
sorrow
feeles
,
all
the
shapes
and
apparitions
of
the
world
.
These
see
man
if
he
seeth
himselfe
,
being
a
●●mpendium
of
the

,
and
hauing
in
himselfe
what
is
in
euery
other

the
thing
onely
excepted
that
is
aboue
all

,
he
hath
a

he
hath
life
with

,
he
hath
sence

,
he
hath
vnderstanding
with
Angels
,
which
vnderstanding
is
the
crowne
whereby
his
principalitie
ouer
stones
,
trees
,
and
beasts
is
knowne
.
What
should
man
then
looke
vpon
but
himselfe
,
since
in
himselfe
is
all
,
and
more
then
all
other
creatures
or
substances
haue

to

which
the
true
glasse
is
naturall
Philosophie
,
in
which
he
must

morrall

adorne
his

,
for
morrall
Philosophy
is
the
grace
of

weaue
this

and
it
will
proue

naturall
Philosophy
shewing
vs
what
we
haue

morrall
,
how
to
vse
rightly
what
wee
haue
.
Reason
hath
two
quallities
,
knowledge
,
and
direction
,
whose
diuine
and
most
powerfull
faculties
we
lost
in
our
first
fathers
fall
,
what
was
once
a
flame
is
now
but
a
sparke
which
by
these
two
doctrines
is
againe
made

,
knowledge
by
naturall
Philosophy
,
by
morrall

,
without

a
commixture
of
their
vertues
,
knowledge
teacheth
direction
how
to
commaund
,
direction
giueth
knowledge
maiesty
and
power
.
These
order
the
sences
and
makes
their
effects
come
to
the
determined
period
,
teaching
those
belonging
to
the
schoole
,
to
gather
wisedome
for
the
soule
,
which
two
destinated
seruantes
though
they
present
the
minde
sometime
with
allurments
,
yet
the
execution
of
all
vice
belongs
to
the
other
three
the
assistants
of
the
body
.
What
ariseth
from
these
sences
are
affections
,
what
affection
thinketh
but
opinion
,
affection
like
the
parents
medleth
with
single
obiects
,
the
minde
graspeth
vniuersalities
the
mindes
imploiment
is
about
things
firme
,
the
affections
momentary
and
fading
.
Who
seeth
not
then
,
to
bee
led
by
our
affections
,
is
vaiue
and
beastiall
,
who
seeing
this
will
neglect
the
minde
,
whose
ample
territory
stretcheth
euen
to
the
heauens
.
Mens

I
account
our
sences
and
their
affections
,
like
Phisicke
drugges
,
which
are
one
waye
poyson
,
another
waye
preseruatiues
,
when
they
worke
onely
in
the
bodye
they
preserue
the
body
,
but
if
ouercharged
with
excesse
the
fumes
smother
the
soule
,
and
makes
her
aguish
,
distasting
what
she
ought
to
taste
,
furring
her
mouth
with
super●●uities
,
and
making
her
not
know
true
pleasure
and
vanitie
by
the
taste
.
What
blessings
or
cursses
can
I
thinke
of
in
the
world
,
but
are
deriued
from
these
two
heads
,
these
were
the
two
wayes
that
Hercules
was
led
vnto
:
these
are
the
two
wayes
that
leades
to
knowledge
and
ignorance
,
these
are
the
two
wayes
that
part
light
and
darkenesse
,
in
a
worde
,
these
are
the
two
waies
that
make
mans
life
either
happy
or
vnfortunate
.
Quisquis

Thus
haue
I
anatomized
the
partes
of
life
,
of
which
if
Phisicke
be
so
carefull
as
to
anatomize
bodyes
for
bodilie
diseases
,
in
these
where
minde
and
body
are
to
be
both
inquired
into
,
care
cannot
be
called
curiositie
.
To
meddle
with
effects
without
the
causes
,
is
to
tell
him
that
is
sicke
,
he
is
sicke
,
not
to
remedy
his
sicknesse
.
I
will
nowe
speake
more
feelingly
,
and
speake
of
euents
and
actions
,
which
in
the
pettigree
of
knowledge
,
is
knowledges
last
discent
.
Contemplation
thinkes
well
,
action
ought
to
do
well
:
of
contemplation
,
it
is
too
vnsensible
to
dilate
,
so
contrary
to
custome
and
nature
,
as
it
would
be
hard
like
Poetry
,
the
touch
of
the
phansie
.
But
action
is
euery
bodies
case
,
he
that
can
but
wipe
his
nose
is
his
acquaintance
,
of
which
I
will
speake
my
opinion
,
concluding
all
in
the
managing
these
three
,
Prosperitie
,
Aduersitie
,
and
Danger
.
If
I
should
exempt
knowledge
from
all
things
,
but
the
happinesse
of
vnderstanding
,
it
were
well
,
but
it
is
not
taken
thus
by
the
world
,
no
,
sildome
it
meetes
with
the
worlds
diffinition
,
whose
maine
is
riches
,
and
eyther
pompe
or
pleasure
,
luxurie
or
power
;
of
these
;
what
one
is
there
whose
gaine
hath
not
beene
knowledge
,
that
the
waight
of
them
hath
not
pressed
downe
,
and
been
like
a
Milstone
tyed
about
the
neeke
of
a
swimmer
?
Is
it
wealth
,
and
is
it
giuen
thee
thinkest
thou
onely
to
nourish
thy
sensualitie
?
foole
that
thou
art
,
which
hast
thirsted
after
thy
destruction
,
how
much
would
pouertie
haue
become
thee
better
,
since
wealth
prooues
but
an
instrument
of
thy
destruction
.
I
accompt
wealth
and
wante
the
touch-stones
of
dispositions
,
euen
in
their
vttermost
extremities
,
they
agree
in
this
,
wealth
melting
substances
,
not
throughly
substanciall
,
and
wante
vndooing
their
powers
with
his
chilnesse
and
stormes
of
immoderate
colde
and
heate
,
man
is
impatient
,
so
of
prosperitie
and
want
,
which
are
not
so
vnlike
,
as
not
to
fitte
a
resemblance
.
There
is
vertue
in
wealth
,
as
there
is
in
any
manuall
instrument
handsome
and
pro●itable
,
if
in
a
skilfull
hand
,
that
fearefull
Simile
of
the
sacred
bookes
,
that
sayeth
;
It
shall
be
as
possible
for
a
ritche
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
as
a
Cammell
to
passe
through
the
eye
of
a
Needle
,
is
meant
as
I
hould
not
by
any
propriated
course
incident
to
wealth
,
but
incident
to
the
disposers
of
wealth
,
because
commonly
disposing
it
to
their
owne
ruines
,
for
charitie
is
a
commaundement
,
to
whose
performance
,
wealth
,
is
a
visible
testimonie
.
It
is
the
vse
that
carryes
the
cursse
,
the
thing
is
innocent
,
it
is
a
newter
,
for
can
we
seperate
it
from
vayne
glorye
and
prodigallitie
,
it
is
a
steppe
to
eternall
felicitie
and
hapipinesse
.
To
come
to
this
iourneyes
end
,
wee
must
passe
by
two
daungers
,
not
bestowing
too
much
vpon
our selues
,
not
bestowing
,
where
it
may
bring
foorth
pride
,
rather
then
defend
want
.
I
neuer
sawe
it
yet
,
though
I
should
be
happy
to
see
it
,
a
man
curbing
his
owne
disease
of
excesse
,
to
bestowe
it
vpon
others
needie
,
we
are
content
to
starue
our selues
,
to
wante
handsomnesse
,
to
depriue
our selues
euen
of
the
necessaries
of
the
worlde
,
to
feede
the
vnsatisfied
appetite
of
couetousnesse
,
in
the
which
we
suffer
so
much
,
as
not
to
thinke
of
our
owne
vsing
this
store
during
our
life
,
we
need
do
no
more
,
to
do
vertuously
,
alter
but
the
person
,
and
loue
not
another
better
then
thy selfe
,
and
thou
art
in
the
waye
of
heauen
,
put
in
thine
owne
name
for
thy
sonnes
or
heires
,
and
thou
hast
purchased
a
diuine
inheritance
,
I
,
for
them
,
giuing
from
them
thou
augmentest
their
state
,
purchasing
a
blessing
vpon
their
house
and
life
.
I
know
not
the
thoughts
of
wealth
,
for
I
was
neuer
wealthy
,
but
as
I
am
,
I
neuer
see
excesse
,
that
my
memory
laments
not
the
want
of
penury
.
How
vnequallie
,
nay
how
foolishly
mannage
we
our
states
,
that
neglect
heauen
and
buye
damnation
with
surfets
and
excesses
.
A
particuler
faith
serues
a
seculer
fortune
,
in
these
holy
misteries
,
my
knowledge
aspires
no
higher
then
the
saluation
of
one
soule
,
in
morallitie
common
to
all
men
,
I
may
speake
as
well
as
any
man
,
because
it
is
mine
as
well
as
an
others
.
So
strong
is
my
proposition
,
as
I
neede
not
the
valure
of
diuinitie
,
morrall
reasons
will
shewe
how
excellentlie
Liberallitie
becomes
Plentie
,
and
Plentie
without
Knowledge
is
not
Liberallitie
,
but
a
chest
that
vnnecessarily
maketh
much
of
his
store
without
vse
,
or
els
prodigallitie
,
which
in
confuming
is
no
lesse
vitious
,
then
couetousnesse
is
in
sparing
:
what
haue
we
that
the
vse
makes
not
precious
,
dominion
,
pallaces
,
riches
,
what
els
,
if
not
vsed
,
lies
without
any
more
contentment
then
the
things
take
in
themselues
,
which
haue
none
other
but
a
sencelesse
being
,
me
thinks
contentment
can
be
bestowed
vppon
nothing
more
rich
,
then
to
see
creatures
by
nature
neglected
,
by
thy
good
nature
maintayned
,
wherein
thou
surpassest
common
nature
,
for
she
gaue
them
a
life
,
but
thou
giuest
more
,
a
contentment
of
life
,
for
she
gaue
them
life
,
which
ending
there
would
haue
proued
misery
and
vnhappinesse
,
but
thou
giuest
him
life
and
from
his
life
remouest
those
torments
,
which
are
worse
and
death
.
How
beautifull
doe
these
actions
looke
vpon
vs
,
so
truely
are
these
belonging
to
the
soule
as
li●e
two
lutes
meeting
in
pitch
and
nearnes
,
the
striking
of
the
one
makes
the
other
sound
,
so
these
thoughts
st●ooken
by
the
memory
,
maketh
the
soule
rebound
a
sound
of
ioy
,
and
contentment
.
Solon
to
Craesus
telling
him
the
frailty
and
vnstablenes
of
wealth
sinkes
so
deepe
in
my
thoughts
as
I
wonder
it
hath
not
beene
aduise
to
all
such
fortunes
,
those
plenties
left
him
in
his
greatest
neede
;
but
then
Solons
counsel
shewed
him
,
how
like
flatterers
these
outward
glitterings
are
,
he
then
cryed
out
of
Solon
,
and
vnderstood
his
wisedome
,
which
before
hee
could
not
see
through
his
magnificence
and
power
,
which
lay
betweene
him
and
wisdom
.
Who
would
not
then
buy
liberallity
with
temperance
,
and
sparing
from
himselfe
that
which
is
to
much
,
to
giue
his
brother
that
hath
too
little
?
body
and
soule
are
preserued
and
glorified
in
this
,
for
the
body
neuer
sendeth
the
stomacke
to
tell
vs
,
we
haue
eaten
too
much
,
but
the
soule
feeles
it
too
,
when
the
stomacke
riseth
against
the
meate
,
the
conscience
dooth
against
intemperaunce
,
and
as
one
feeles
the
meate
,
the
other
dooth
the
sinne
of
the
surffetting
it
is
not
the
destinie
of
euerye
man
to
bee
ritch
,
but
euery
man
is
destinated
to
be
a
man
,
and
if
thou
remembrest
from
whence
thou
camst
,
hee
came
from
the
same
place
,
wee
estimate
pictures
that
can
but
counterfaite
the
life
,
but
this
hath
life
,
hath
flesh
,
and
bloud
,
is
thy
brother
,
wilt
thou
be
so
partiall
to
thy
sight
and
so
vnnaturall
to
him
to
preferre
a
sence
before
thy selfe
,
the
barke
of
a
thing
before
the
thing
substantiall
?
this
lookes
but
like
a
man
,
but
this
is
a
man
hath
reason
,
hath
speach
,
and
all
things
else
with
thee
,
but
what
thou
knowest

Thus
staggereth
ignorance
in
the
disposing
of
wealth
,
but
knowledge
makes
them
steppes
to
ascend
the
throne
of
glory
,
he
wauers
not
,
hee
playes
not
fortune
,
dispersing
blinde-fould
,
nor
sinckes
with
couetousnesse
,
whose
nurse
is
a
minde
vnsatisfied
,
that
doth
starue
himselfe
,
to
weaken
himselfe
,
for
his
wealth
is
a

to
the

,
and
his

leaues
him

sees

his

he

I
need
not
say
much
of
prodigallitie
,
since
it
speakes
as
ill
for
it selfe
as
his
vttermost
enemie
can

onely
it
is
worth
the

how
couetousnesse
prayes

of
the

,
who
hath
giuen
one
sinne
leaue
to

another
to

In
priuate
fortunes
it
ends
with
beggerie
,
in

with

,
in
both
with

I
neuer
see
prodigallitie
but
accompanied
with
troopes
of
vices
,
and
their
end
is
commonly
,
a
yong
vnthrift
an
old

.
I
will
speake
no
more
of
these
priuate
,
of

little
,
it

princes

,
it

neither
,
to
much
,
it
is
good
to
keepe
them
in
appetite
,
for
performance

of
more
roundly
,
when
the
soule
and
body
both
hope
of
reward
then
when
the
soule
alone
,
for
then
the
bodye
waxeth
lazy
and
becomes
sluggish
:
Much
more
dangerous
,
was
Demetrius
taxation
vpon
the
Athenians
,
which
being
so
much
as
hardly
in
their
powers
to
contribute
:
at
the
receipt
he
gaue
it
his
concubine
to

soape
with
this
smarted
doubly
vpon
the
taxed
people
,
for
it
stroake
them
with
shame

had

had

they
had
reuenged

&
did
with
the
power

sting

Where

I

I

Beware

what

As
in

so
in

,
knowledge

kills

&
makes
the
foundation
where
she
is
the
sement
,
not
to
be
shaken
nor
stirred
by
the
stormes
of
the

.
As
his
sight
is
cleere
,
so
are
his
steppes
right
,
no
apparition
nor

distractes
him
,
neither
with
ioye
nor
sorrowe
;
that
childe
of
the
Phancie
,
appetite
,
in
beasts
it
is
called
appetite
,
but
in
man
it
is
termed
his
wil
,
a
word
of
command
,
which
authoritie
is
giuen
him
for
knowledges

,
who
knowes

for
otherwise
did
he
appetite
without

counsell
,
it
should
be
appetite
in

as
wel
as
in

.
What

man
will
then
,
but
knowledge
,
by
this
wil
is
made
pretious
,
when
he
goeth
from

he
goeth

it

from

37.
Of
Iudgement
.
AMongst
the
rest
of
the
fruitefull
children
of
Knowledge
,
Iudgement
,
me
thinks
is
her
deerest
issue
,
for
they
are
inseperable
,
they
resemble
one
another
so
neerly
,
as
hardly
can
a
distinction
get
betweene
them
,
if
betweene
them
,
it
is
onely
in
their
place
,
for
knowledge
goeth
before
iudgement
.
The
perfection
or
blessednesse
of
knowledge
,
is
this
her
childe
,
it
is
the
rewarde
of
her
trauailes
,
it
is
the
triumphe
of
her
victories
;
she
saith
:
—
Et
summa
sequar
fastigia
rerum
.
And
iudgement
answers
her
,
thou
shalt
determine
rightly
of
euery
thing
.
The
most
resplendent
ornament
of
man
,
is
Iudgement
,
here
is
the
perfection
of
his
innate
reason
;
here
is
the
vttermost
power
of
reason
ioynde
with
knowledge
,
here
is
experiences
haruest
,
for
the
excellent
vnion
of
reason
,
of
knowledge
&
experiences
,
ends
his
knitting
vp
with
the
excellentest
perfection
of
man
,
Iudgement
,
what
giue
we
,
wisedome
,
what
giue
we
,
the
scarres
and
battailes
of
age
,
but
Iudgement
?
what
hath
the
most
excellent
men
to
prooue
their
excellencie
,
but
the
title
of
Iudiciall
?
what
is
wisdomes
other
name
but
Iudgement
?
for
Iudgement
is
wisdome
:
who
able
with
the
wings
of
reason
to
mount
his
soule
into
the
pitch
of
this
meditation
,
and
is
not
couetous
of
his
time
,
and
repines
not
that
nature
hath
made
him
so
weake
,
as
to
satisfie
her
weakenesse
,
he
must
often
be
carryed
from
his
quest
,
but
who
alienates
his
minde
with
the
houlding
other
things
more
precious
,
how
doth
hee
drowne
himselfe
in
perils
and
dangers
?
If
the
very
name
inamours
thee
not
,
what
wouldest
thou
haue
that
she
yeeldes
not
?
honour
,
wealth
,
happinesse
,
dominion
?
why
all
these
are
in
her
,
what
can
merite
honour
,
but
iudgement
?
wealth
thou
desirest
but
for
neede
,
but
hauing
iudgement
,
thou
needest
not
wealth
,
happinesse
is
iudgements
,
for
she
neuer
knewe
misfortune
,
hauing
her
,
thou
hast
dominion
ouer
the
worlde
,
for
Kings
commaund
but
bodyes
,
but
the
minds
of
all
that
are
not
iudiciall
,
shall
be
thy
subiects
,
and
lic
prostraite
before
thee
,
but
these
with
Iudgement
are
but
like
the
puppets
of
children
,
or
pictures
liuelesse
,
for
they
are
broken
with
the
least
blast
of
the
world
,
if
not
,
by
time
,
but
no
time
ouerthrowes
iudgement
,
she
meditates
of
eternitie
,
and
hath
already
put
her
possessor
in
possession
of
eternitie
;
Though
she
meddles
with
the
world
,
as
being
of
the
world
,
yet
so
safely
,
as
she
cleaues
not
to
it
,
nor
is
not
astonished
to
leaue
it
:
Good
Archimedes
,
me
thinkes
I
see
thy
calmenesse
and
contentment
,
in
the
middest
of
the
ruines
and
bloud
of
Syracuse
,
so
busie
about
knowledge
,
as
not
hearing
the
clamours
,
and
noyses
,
not
labouring
for
feare
,
but
for
knowledge
and
iudgment
,
and
when
he
was
interrupted
by
his
murtherers
,
he
asked
not
life
of
them
,
but
a
little
time
to
finish
his
intendment
;
what
a
tranquillitie
of
minde
was
heere
,
how
gloriously
did
he
looke
through
danger
and
death
?
It
is
not
pompe
nor
shining
roabes
that
giues
grace
to
the
body
,
no
,
it
is
the
minde
that
is
in
the
body
,
who
houlds
the
preciousnesse
of
iudgement
,
and
whose
preciousnesse
tels
him
death
&
tortures
,
and
the
enmitie
of
Fortune
,
are
not
blemishes
but
graces
to
him
.
Who
will
haue
to
do
with
the
world
,
must
take
as
well
the
stormes
as
sunne
shines
of
the
world
.

She

he
attaind
to
places
hie
,
his
fame
was
great
,
yet
his
temperance
in
refusing

is
his
best

most
lasting
sute
,
had
not
Cato
dyed
in
the
defence
of
his

,
his

had

,
thus
are
the
actions
of
the
worlde
full
of
dangers
,
&
without
iudgement
,
of
destruction
.
But
come
to
the
managing
of
a
state
with
iudgement
&
thou
canst
not
be
throwne
,
what
though
thou
seest
examples
of

,
of

of

these
in

thou
seest

,
it

my
duety
to
giue
it
her
againe
,
but
what
is
life
in
respect
of
vertue
,
alas
too
meane
a
purchase
.
I
haue
a
soule
whose
perfection
rests
in
resisting
the
childish
opinions
of
the
body
and
that
soule
knowes
it
is
ignominious
to
deny
a
publike
good
for
a
priuate
perill
,
no
vertue
comes
to
vs
pleasingly
,
but
after
,
come

,
it
is
vices
baite
to
seeme
sweet

the

the
vertue
which
shews
her
the
child

,
&
safenes

demonstrates
mortality

It
is
not
danger
with
iudgement
,
what
the
world
calles
danger
,
the
losse
of
vertue
not
of
life
is
vnhappines
,
then
for
our
country
all
our
endeuours
should
bend
,
not
because
honor
and
promotion
goeth
that
way
,
but
because
it
is
one
of
the
lessons
of
vertue
,
we
must
not
looke
after
danger
and
corruption
but
after
the
purity
of
vertue
,
had
Caesar
died
when
his
conquestes
and
gouernement
of
the
Gaules
,
made
his
Countrye
hould
him
a
true
seruant
,
how
much
more
cleere
and
shining
had
he
left
his
memory
then
it
is
now
with
his
perpetuall
dictatorship
,
what
might
haue
beene
vertue
,
is
now
polluted
with
ambition
,
and
all
those
vertues
that
without
this
might
haue
beene
called
,
fortitude
,
temperance
,
liberallity
,
and
pacience
are
now
not
these
,
but
counterfaites
of
this
,
he
was
not
,
but
seemed
vertuous
,
for
vnspotted
uertue
calles
none
vertuous
,
that
haue
any
other
end
but
her selfe
,
howsoeuer
the
grosnesse
of
our
sight
vsed
rather
to
colours
,
then
truth
,
would
perswade
vertue
to
put
one
a
more
mixt
body
,
yet
thus
is
vertue
,
and
thus
she
may
be
brought
acquainted
with
our
soules
though
our
vile
bodily
composition
cannot
comprehend
her
,
none
can
tell
but
they
that
haue
felt
the
many
conflicts
the
soule
indures
with
the
body
,
whose
impurity
not
tasting
the
purities
of
vertue
,
drawes
the
naturall
well
inclined
parts
of
the
minde
into
the
vnnaturall
naturall
affections
of
the
body
.
In
this
Caesar
questionlesse
▪
were
more
many
graces
,
had
they
not
beene
disgraced
with
conuerting
the
sweete
abilities
of
his
soule
to
the
bodies
gaine
.
B●●
thus
a
young
experience
may
produce
many
examples
where
the
aboundance
of
vertues
reward
ouerwaying
men
,
hath
sunck
them
,
for
the
eyes
&
tonge
of
the

this
inforced
instinct
though
they
do
not
well
,
yet
must
they
praise
well
doers
,
and
in
the
middest
of
thereill
,
exalt
vertue
.
I
thinke
Caesar
meant
well
to
his
common
wealth
so
long
as
his
common
wealth
was
his
maister
,
but
declined
when
their
power
declined
to
his
will
,
thus
betweene
too
much
and
too
little
,
wauers
the
life
of
man
,
no
reward
makes
him
desperate
,
too
much
ambitious
,
but
iudgement
swimmes
betweene
these
,
and
neuer
touches
any
of
these
extremities
,
she
labours
for

no●
power
,
she
runnes
without

I
wonder
at
this
infection
of
greatnes
that
it
can

thinkes
no
further
then
death

&
the
reasons

shew

that
affect

:
neither

can

what
reason
is
there
then
hee
should
be
preferred
before
them
,
there
is
iustice
against

,
one
cannot
withstand
thousands
,
there
is
safety
against

,
and
could
hee
wante

,
yet
he
that
wantes
not

is
neuer
without
the
torments
of
feare
and
suspition
.
Ne

are

and

Yes

that

answeres

that
mooues
her
sayles
,
which
neuer
is
so
forcible
as
when
a
good
action
is
good
for
all
.
But
Caesar
robde
the
worlde
,
brought
all
the
proffits
of
his
common-wealth
to
be
his
onely
,
of
which
,
that
it
was
in-iustice
all

,
that
it
was
daungerous
he
felte
,
and
for
fame
the
spirite
of
his
actions
are
commended
,
the
disposing
of
them
,
because
not
hurtfull
vnto
vs
,
not
exclaymde
agaynst
,
but
aske
Iudgement
,
and
surelye
hee
will
condemne
him
for
killing
vertue
which
ambition
if
after
death
we
behold
them
impartially
,
who
would
not
choose
to
be
Camillus
the
sauer
of
his
countrey
,
rather
then
Caesar
,
the
destroyer
of
his
countrie
,
how
warme
and
cherishing
to
the
soule
are
actions
like
Camillus
is
,
what
a
sweetenesse
comes
from
the
ayre
of
such
a
meditation
,
when
the
other
feeles
as
much
cruelty
inwardly
,
as
he
effects
outwardly
,
and
byes
a
beautifull
out
side
with
the
tortures
of
his
hart
.
That
corrupt
speach
of
Caesars
vpon
Scilla
,
Scillam
nesciuisse
literas
,
qui
Dictaturam
deposuerit
:
Had
Scilla
out
liued
Caesar
,
how
well
might
he
haue
mocked
his
greedy
body
,
when
in
spite
of
it
greatnesse
,
it
lay
intangled
and
liuelesse
in
the
Senate
?
Scilla
saw
this
,
and
eschewed
it
,
Caesar
marked
his
iudgement
,
and
found
to
late
there
was
wisedome
in
moderating
power
.
But
all
this
saues
not
greatnesse
,
all
are
tempted
,
many
yeeld
,
few
hould
out
,
wee
vse
power
commonly
as
meate
,
not
nourishing
ourselues
,
but
surfetting
,
to
please
our
tast
,
we
ouerlaye
our
stomackes
,
thus
we
abuse
the
preciousnesse
of
things
,
that
it
needes
no
wonder
though
there
be
a
frailty
and
weaknesse
in
what
we
are
,
and
haue
,
for
we
pull
it
vpon
them
and
vs
,
with
abusing
all
,
this
is
the
oddes
and
preciousnesse
of
greatnesse
ouer
meaner
fortunes
,
that
by
their
greatnesse
they
may
doe
more
good
,
vertue
in
lowe
states
lies
buryed
,
in
high
it
standes
a
lost
,
poore
men
may
thinke
well
,
but
ritch
men
both
thinke
and
doe
well
,
here
is
all
,
greatnesse
hath
no
other
circuit
,
no
other
ought
be
his
end
,
for
power
is
giuen
him
by
the
incomprehensible
greatnesse
,
compared
to
whome
his
is
leste
then
nothing
,
to
no
other
ende
,
that
he
hath
,
then
to
support
the
weaknesse
of
mens
fortunes
and
vnderstanding
head
to
dispatch
it
,
not
that
he
hath
a
body
to
consume
is
his
desert
,
power
is
not
to
do
wrong
,
but
to
punish
do●ers
of
wrong
,
and
wealth
I
should
holde
a
burthensome
companion
,
were
not
liberalitie
a
vent
,
for
were
it
not
for
that
,
it
is
good
for
nothing
.
But
this
to
the
hearers
seemes
rather
trueth
then
possible
,
those
thoughts
make
vertue
impossible
,
vice
workes
all
her
doceits
with
sweetnesse
and
lazinesse
,
and
these
catch
almost
all
dispositions
▪
for
where
a
good
disposition
resists
the
former
,
vice
calles
difficultie
impossible
,
and
so
lazinesse
killes
those
,
that
pleasures
let
goe
:
but
Vertue
saith
▪
Caronam
,
at
bletae
nisi
certant
,
non
accipiunt
:
thinke
but
of
the
rewarde
of
vertue
,
and
the
paine
is
nothing
,
if
thou
dyest
in
the
attempt
,
honor
attends
thee
to
thy
graue
,
honor
attends
thee
,
peace
attends
thee
,
fame
attends
thee
;
in
a
worde
Vertue
attends
thee
,
in
whome
are
all
the
rest
,
and
more
then
all
,
for
vertue
marries
thee
●o
heauen
.
Thus
comes
greatnesse
to
an
excellent
periode
,
without
this
it
comes
to
destruction
;
Iudgement
chooseth
the
waye
of
Vertue
,
Opinion
of
vice
,
which
dissolueth
into
infamie
and
repentance
,
greatnesse
without

,
brings
forth
tyranie
,
and
all
the
vndirect
ascenders
to
this

are
like
Caligula

of

Suctonius
saith

Of
Natures
pollicie
.
THe
Glasse
wherein
the
minde
beholds
it selfe
,
is
Nature
,
there
she
seeth
the
beautifull
lineaments
of
her
owne
proportion
,
and
might
not
mine
opinion
seeme
to
digresse
too
much
from
the
world
,
I
would
sweare
there
is
no
life
,
no
sweetnesse
,
no
contentment
,
that
intends
not
this
more
then
any
thing
,
wee
know
not
how
much
wrong
we
doe
our
soules
with
compelling
them
to
be
play-fellowes
to
the
bodyes
wantonnesse
;
I
will
aduenture
it
,
the
worst
that
opinion
can
do
to
me
,
is
but
to
oppose
her selfe
against
me
,
and
I
feare
it
not
,
then
thus
,
they
are
childish
or
beastly
courses
,
that
are
taken
for
bodyes
sake
,
only
that
excellent
and
diuine
facultie
excepted
,
that
keepes
societies
in
societie
,
that
make
many
bodies
one
body
,
that
reconciles
the
differing
and
disagreeing
vnderstandings
of
man
,
and
knits
them
vp
in
an
vnitie
,
the
preseruation
of
whole
admirable
concorde
,
we
call
pollicie
.
This
studie
becomes
the
most
deuine
spirits
,
as
long
as
they
are
in
bodyes
,
〈◊〉
so
much
subiect
is
the
soule
to
the
bodye
,
as
in
confusions
and
troubles
she
is
troubled
,
and
therefore
Pollicie
producing
peace
,
and
peace
giuing
libertie
to
the
soules
workings
,
gouernement
and
pollicie
are
the
destinated
and
direct
obiects
of
the
soules
that
are
yet
in
bodies
.
But
doth
not
this
compel
vs
,
from
a
more
deuine
and
more
aspiring
inquisition
?
it
dooth
not
,
for
the
rules
of
pollicie
are
no
where
so
truely
written
,
as
in
the
workes
of
nature
,
to
the
works
of
nature
is
the
furthest
iourney
,
that
our
soule
can
carry
vs
,
as
long
as
she
beares
the
burthen
of
a
bodye
,
then
vnder
this
tutresse
,
is
the
beste
of
●he
best
knowledges
to
be
learned
,
be●ng
the
instructor
of
the
most
excel●ent
naturall
courses
,
either
actiue
or
contemplatiue
.
This
Architectres
shewes
the
first
ground
of
pollicie
,
the
societie
of
things
●greeing
in
kinde
,
this
,
she
hath
giuen
●o
beasts
that
haue
onely
sence
;
nay
to
her
Elements
who
haue
onely
quallities
,
so
may
it
seeme
not
by
discourse
nor
excellent
grace
,
but
euen
by
a
single
infusion
the
meanest
,
wee
naturally
thirst
after
a
participating
&
communicating
with
things
of
our
owne
kinde
,
there
is
euen
in
all
these
three
kindes
,
a
singular
contentment
in
this
,
for
beastes
whose
onely
pleasure
is
feeding
and
the
appetite
of
generation
,
hath
their
stomackes
increased
by
the
stomackes
of
the
heard
,
and
hath
females
vpon
whom
to
execute
the
most
forcible
commaundement
of
natures
and
their
full
pleasure
,
each
Element
by
the
assistaunce
of
the
same
,
is
more
able
to
resist
things
Antipatheticall
in
nature
their
onely
care
,
and
man
whose
voyce
carrieth
interpretation
,
&
whose
reason
fils
that
voyce
with
meaning
,
what
can
he
desire
more
earnestly
then
his
communicating
reason
,
and
by
the
other
faculties
of
his
constitution
to
giue
his
reason
the
force
and
strength
of
many
.
Were
it
not
thus
,
it
would
be
a
Chaos
,
for
the
separation
makes
a
world
,
which
seperation
standes
by
the
agreeing
and
disagreeing
of
natures
.
Yet
hath
shee
tyed
the
vnderstanding
of
all
thinges
but
man
,
within
the
compasse
of
their
owne
constitution
;
so
seeke
they
no
further
then
a
particular
preseruation
,
in
which
both
they
are
contented
,
and
nature
serued
,
how
admirable
is
our
mothers
wisedome
,
she
hath
giuen
no
creature
reason
but
man
,
had
she
to
an
other
,
all
her
trauailes
should
haue
serued
for
the
foode
of
ciuill
warres
,
such
being
the
effect
of
an
equall
power
bent
to
the
obtayning
a
great
dominion
:
the
next
is
her
skill
in
preseruation
,
of
which
,
though
the
most
assured
gaine
is
hers
,
yet
is
it
so
commixt
with
a
particular
satisfaction
,
as
vncompelled
they
willingly
performe
her
commandements
;
thus
should
Lordes
commaund
that
would
not
haue
their
seruice
slacked
,
neuer
to
imploye
any
instrument
of
their
will
without
giuing
them
an
interest
of
contentment
,
yet
might
it
be
couertly
handled
,
otherwise
it
will
make
them
mercenary
,
the
destroyer
of
loue
and
obedience
,
and
the
bringer
in
of
restinesse
and
rebelliion
,
it
is
to
be
safeliest
done
,
eyther
by
teaching
them
the
dutie
of
each
state
,
by
making
them
vnderstand
the
worthinesse
of
a
life
that
runnes
directly
in
his
destinated
course
,
or
else
with
showing
them
the
effects
of
their
labours
,
and
with
them
comparing
the
vnhappinesse
of
the
actions
of
disobedience
,
but
natures
knowe
not
what
they
do
,
and
yet
doe
her
pleasure
,
he
that
can
finde
instruments
of
the
same
temper
,
is
likely
to
make
good
worke
:
All
the
rare
and
variable
actions
and
formes
of
Nature
,
are
tempered
and
performed
onely
by
her
foure
seruants
the
Elements
,
she
vseth
no
more
.
A
plaine
demonstration
,
not
the
multitude
,
but
the
diligence
and
discipline
bringeth
things
to
the
wished
ende
;
though
Caesar
could
call
all
his
souldiers
by
their
names
,
yet
I
doubt
whether
he
were
perfect
in
all
their
natures
,
it
could
not
be
,
and
yet
might
be
,
in
the
course
of
Armes
it
bredde
no
danger
,
but
when
it
came
to
counsell
,
I
beleeue
he
would
not
thinke
their
names
assurance
good
enough
;
but
to
speake
of
the
councels
of
peace
,
which
giue
all
exterior
actions
their
shape
,
it
is
not
meete
they
be
many
,
but
selected
out
of
many
,
for
the
soundest
councels
proceede
not
from
largenesse
of
the
company
,
but
from
largest
vnderstandings
,
for
them
that
vse
many
,
as
seruants
,
not
counsellours
,
it
is
not
so
hurtfull
,
yet
haue
they
so
many
windowes
for
passingers
to
take
it
at
,
and
to
discouer
what
they
doe
.
Nature
constitutes
but
foure
,
vnder
which
number
she
hath
reduced
all
the
things
of
the
world
,
so
ought
a
polititian
that
intends
the
keeping
the
body
of
gouernement
in
good
forme
,
to
make
euery
creature
of
his
charge
belong
to
one
of
the
ordained
states
of
his
signiory
,
by
which
hee
shall
defend
his
country
from
idle
straglers
,
and
suppresse
one
of
the
meanes
of
innouation
.
Out
of
these
foure
constituted
bodies
,
hath
shee
made
all
things
,
there
belonges
no
more
to
her
whole
frame
,
whose
situation
and
whose
number
is
another
lesson
,
they
are
foure
,
so
are
the
different
states
of
a
common
wealth
in
her
exactest
constitution
.
The
Prince
,
Nobility
,
gentry
,
plebeians
natures
,
agree
and
disagree
in
qualities
,
the
one
in
respect
of
their
situation
,
the
other
of
generation
,
thinges
altogeather
like
beeing
,
as
vnprofitable
as
letters
without
a
vowell
,
so
ought
the
degrees
aboue
mencioned
,
for
were
they
altogeather
contrarye
there
coulde
bee
no
combination
,
if
altogeather
a
like
no
generation
,
no
order
,
nature
of
hers
hath
giuen
fier
the
preheminence
,
whose
neighbour
ayre
is
,
and
they
agree
in
heate
,
water
is
next
the
ayre
,
and
they
in
moystnes
,
water
with
the
earth
in
coldnes
,
the
prince
with
the
Nobility
in
mortalitie
,
the
Nobles
with
the
gentry
in
their
refined
bloud
,
the
gentry
with
the
Plebeians
in
subiection
,
the
fire
is
the
most
hye
,
the
most
worthy
,
the
ayre
lesse
worthy
but
behoofefull
,
the
water
to
bee
vsed
not
vsing
,
the
earth
an
immense
and
monstrous
body
,
whose
worthinesse
consists
onely
in
his
quantity
.
Such
must
be
the
care
of
lawe
giuers
and
founders
of
societies
;
as
their
incorporate
body
hath
both
there
agreeing
and
disagreeing
qualities
,
by
those
agreeing
,
to
keepe
them
in
amity
,
which
is
alwayes
the
effect
of
an
equall
interest
,
euen
as
Princes
by
alliance
seeke
to
assure
themselūes
of
one
another
,
by
this
disagreeing
,
to
haue
all
the
sundry
imployments
of
a
seate
,
fitted
with
managers
meete
and
skilfull
.
After
the
creation
of
these
foure
fellowes
their
imployment
,
the
industrie
of
nature
,
is
well
seene
in
her
children
,
to
whom
she
hath
expresly
forbidden
idlenesse
,
to
keepe
which
precept
she
hath
made
neede
an
ouerseer
,
and
corrector
of
the
disobedient
,
her
elements
are
continually
busied
eyther
in
composing
bodies
,
or
if
single
in
being
assistant
to
bodies
,
if
they
be
not
thus
they
suffer
a
mutation
,
the
most
abhorred
thing
to
their
natures
.
Trees
are
continually
busied
in
conuerting
the
sweetest
of
the
next
adioyning
,
earth
into
bowes
,
branches
leaues
and
fruite
,
if
they
do
not
they
dye
,
beastes
haue
their
foode
to
prouide
,
from
which
if
the
desease
of
lazines
or
age
diuerts
them
they
starue
,
man
the
noblest
creature
is
not
so
sharpely
compelled
,
but
by
his
gift
of
reason
hath
his
choise
,
which
if
hee
dooth
abuse
,
he
becomes
vnprofitable
,
a
course
much
more
terrible
then
the
rest
,
of
this
idlenesse
,
comes
many
mischiefes
,
as
first
his
vnprofitablenesse
,
next
his
ill
example
,
and
oft
it
proues
worsse
,
there
beeing
none
so
dangerous
thoughtes
as
those
that
are
breade
in
this
languishing
slouth
.
Dracoes
medicine
for
this
was
death
,
I
doubt
whether
I
should
condemne
it
for
too
sharpe
,
for
that
execution
disburdened
his
Countrey
and
was
likely
to
cure
the
behoulders
,
but
a
more
gentle
medicine
might
haue
serued
as
well
:
beware
of
that
,
there
beeing
nothing
more
dangerous
to
a
state
,
then
to
iest
with
offenders
,
if
you
confesse
the
debt
,
pay
it
them
,
or
you
leaue
them
worse
then
you
found
them
,
well
,
if
it
must
be
cruelty
,
yet
it
is
a
pittifull
cruelty
,
and
Dracoes
lawes
very
good
for
the
behoulders
whatsoeuer
they
were
for
the
vndergoers
.
From
whence
nature
fetcheth
the
stuffe
of
her
workmanship
,
is
onely
from
her selfe
,
she
hath
fetched
them
from
the
pouertie
of
nothing
,
and
giuen
them
a
being
,
a
meanes
to
holde
them
in
their
duties
,
for
it
binds
them
both
by
loue
&
feare
,
beholding
the

them
to

,
if
dishonest

,
they
are
easiliest

,
whose
obscure
originall
receiues
their
light
not
from
themselues
,
but
the
assistance
of
others
,
but
this
example
must
bee
allayed
,
before
it
comes
to
the
practise
of
men
,
otherwise
taken
,
it
will
prooue
poyson
,
somwhat
there
is
in
it
,
not
vnprofitable
,
but
it
must
be
carefully
prepared
,
for
wee
are
not
so
early
as
before
the
beginnings
of
things
,
we
haue
the
pleasure
of
the

,
not
of

,
to

which

is
not
without
apparent
danger
,
it
is
not
out
of

,
to
raise

with

,
neither
wil
they
be

if

if

they
be

dangerous
,
for
as

naturally

made

,
so
is
there
no
ambition
so
violent
as
the
beggars
ambition
.
There
are
examples
enough
of
slaue
and
seruants
,
that

stept
betweene
their

,
as
many
that

'
authoritie
,
here
was
the

and
abuse
of
those
inferiour
instruments
.
Nature
coun●elles
with
no
bodye
but
her selfe
,
an
instance
not
fitte
for
man
,
because
the
weakenesse
of
his
vnderstanding
needes
the
force
of
assistance
,
but
that
they
should
be
fewe
,
and
selected
,
is
a
wise
and
the
neerest
imitation
that
we
can
attaine
vnto
,
the
reasons
are
two
,
those
councels
are
likelye
to
bee
kept
secret
,
that
are
committed
to
a
few
,
it
being
an
infallible
precept
to
laye
a
mans
estate
(
if
neede
requires
)
vppon
many
,
his
thoughtes
and
weighty
intents
vpon
few
,
the
other
reason
,
there
are
but
few
to
be
found
so
honest
,
as
not
to
abuse
this
authority
conuerting
their
counsels
to
their
particuler
benefite
.

To
counsell
is
the
best
office
of
a
friend
,

him
bee
a

with
whom
we

Omnia

Since
we
must
vse
helpe
,
let
vs
bee
sure
hee
is

to
whom
we
trust
,
so
the
discretion
by
nothing
receiues
so
great
a
check
,
the
estate
so
great
a
losse
,
the
life
so
great
a
danger
as
by
the
choise
of
a
dissembler
a
foole
or
a
coward
for
our
friend
and
counsellor
.

Neither
is
this
most
powerfull
Empresse
lauish
in
her
rewardes
,
she
ha●h
created
things
one
aboue
another
and
giuen
them
degrees
of
preheminence
,
but
shee
corrupts
not
natures
with
a
prodigall
heaping
promotion
,
vpon
promotion
,
for
well
knoweth
she
that
the
inforcing
things
,
beyond
the
limites
of
their
conceptions
and
essence
,
wholy
corrupts
them
,
and
makes
them
as
vnprofitable
as
age
in
a
strange
countrie
.
But
this
denies
not
rewards
,
the
foode
of
a
mortall
goodnesse
;
which
it
must
haue
,
or
els
it
●ildome
liueth
,
but
the
temper
and
the
right
distribution
is
the
thing
that
nature
teacheth
vs
,
for
in
this
aboundance
doth
the
minde
surfet
,
as
doth
the
bodie
by
aboundance
of
meate
.
She
hath
made
nothing
without
an
vse
,
an
aduice
,
fitting
high
and
lowe
,
whose
cherishing
creatures
without
vse
,
markes
them
at
the
ende
with
an
F.
or
B.
to
make
which
imposition
to
endure
easie

she
hath
more
things
to
set
them
about
,
then
one
,
and
fitteth
dispositions
with
taskes
answerable
to
their
dispositions
,
of
this
I
haue
spoken
before
,
yet
is
it
so
certaine
an
effectresse
of
things
prosperously
,
as
to
remember
it
againe
is
not
superfluous
.
Hauing
thus
constitution
her
gouernement
,
she
detests
nothing
more
then
monsters
,
be
they
neuer
so
excellent
in
some
things
which
she
hates
,
either
because
they
are
not
hers
but
fortunes
,
and
her
wisdome
and
nature
is
to
hie
and
excellent
to
mother
that
pedlers
brattes
,
or
else
they
are
rebells
that
in
dispite
of
her
authority
and
skill
will
breake
out
into
the
worlde
and
disgrace
her
cunning
,
the
same
reasons
ought
to
make
states
no
lesse
abhorre
the
monsters
of
states
,
practizers
of
innouation
,
which
whether
it
comes
from
the
humor
of
fame
or
from
the
more
dangerous
of
surprising
his
countrye
,
is
to
be
with
all
diligence
suppressed
,
bad
,
if
they
be
not
too
bad
,
customes
beeing
more
then
remedies
producing
innouations
.
For
in
this
troubles
the
honest
minde
stands
amazed
,
the
seditions
that
haue
long
waited
for
such
an
opportunitie
embrace
it
,
wounding
the
state
in
many
places
,
whiles
her
gouernors
are
either
feeble
through
distraction
,
or
their
forces
bent
another
way
,
by
the
commaundement
of
passion
.
Oft
time
was
the
Romaine
co●mon
wealth
sicke
of
these
diseases
,
fildom
cured
of
any
if
salued
of
one
with
such
a
disauantage
,
as
the
curious
eye
of
sedition
,
found
by
that
how
to
molest
her
more
dangerously
,
euen
as
a-troubled
title
of
land
,
oft
times
brings
forth
more
with
pleading
for
the
right
and
shewing
the
title
.
So
apprehensiue
and
so
percing
is
the
witte
of
man
,
that
spurred
by
his
wil
,
there
is
nothing
too
difficult
that
he
dares
not
attempt
and
perhaps
vanquish
,
such
a
fury
mooues
his
will
,
with
such
subtiltie
his
reason
,
wherefore
since
the
will
backes
ill
causes
sometimes
,
and
that
the
reason
is
corrupted
,
by
the
violence
of
the
will
,
there
is
no
safetie
through
this
intricate
many
turnings
,
but
the
thred
of
vertue
,
whose
light
is
the
onelye
meanes
to
laye
open
these
iuglers
and
workers
by
stealth
.
To
follow
natures
progressions
a
little
further
,
by
this
time
hauing
laide
the
foundation
of
her
goodly
building
,
it
is
time
to
illustrate
the
effects
of
her
excellence
,
to
arriue
at
some
good
end
of
her
trauailes
;
nay
what
is
there
,
but
is
the
creature
of
her
hand
?
An
excellent
happinesse
,
to
equall
which
,
though
it
were
a
groundlesse
ambition
for

to
aspire
to

yet
as
like
it
as
we
come
,
is
a
worthy
desire
,
we
are
well
pleased
in
the
attempting
things
,
but
things
of
this
rancke
effected
,
to
haue
preserued
our
countrie
,
to
haue
giuen
her
good
lawes
,
to
haue
left

,
are
such
things
to

possesseth
vs
with
so
ample
and
eternall
ioyes
,
as
not
the

,
the
neerest

to

,
to

state
,
cannot
thinke
of
more
diuine
ioyes
,
then

I
wonder
not
at
Licurgus
wilfull
exile
,
respecting
the
occasion
,
it
was
an
vncertaine
and
dangerous
state
,
that
he
left
his
nephew
,
compared
with
the
fruition
of
those
thoughts
that
accompanyed
his
banishment
,
his
constitutions
and
ordinances
of
the
Laconian
kingdome
,
in
my
account
farre
ouer-valuing
,
the
possession

Of
the

of

workmanship
,
though
there
be
none
but
full
of
precious
liquor
,
and
that
there
is
yet
more
then
a
mortall
imagination
can
graspe
,
with
that
multitude
I
am
confounded
,
and
dare
goe
no
farther
then
to
shut
vp
what
hath
passed
my
pen
,
there
rests
but
of
her
this
then
that
I
dare
venture
vpon
;
the
first
how
liberally
she
dealeth
with
the
worlde
in
her
effect
,
how
sparingly
in
laying
open
her
causes
,
well
knoweth
she
the
disposition
of
man
,
who
spurneth
and
dispiseth
all
those
benifits
that
he
vnderstands
the
reason
of
,
an
excellent
lesson
for
souerainty
to
learne
,
whose
knowledge
fetched
from
his
gouernment
rather
then
person
,
nourisheth
and
vphouldes
maiesty
,
they
beeing
drawne
into
more
beautifull
colours
,
that
the
eye
seeing
not
,
the
imagination
performeth
for
her
,
then
those
things
that
are
the
ordinary
obiects
of
the
eye
and
familiar
to
our
sences
.
The
vphoulding
this
miraculous
frame
,
resteth
in
the
hands
of
loue
and
neede
,
which
doe
preserue
all
her

which
two

are

Of
Conceipt
.
To
the
Lady
Withipoll
.
EVer
your
commaundements
(
honourable
Lady
)
are
conceited
:
for
by
your
commaundement
I
haue
inquired
of
conceit
,
which
I
finde
so
like
yourselfe
,
as
to
resemble
it
to
your selfe
,
were
a
true
and
quicke
description
:
but
it
is
in
you
mixed
with
iudgment
,
without
which
it
often
goes
,
though
it
often
goe
with
it
.
That
it
goe
without
,
it
makes
it
differ
from
you
,
for
you
cannot
go
without
iudgement
,
but
I
must
speake
no
more
of
you
,
I
must
then
speake
of
perfections
whose
want
in
the
world
makes
imperfect
iudgements
determined
commendations
,
and
due
praises
,
Poetrye
or
Flattery
.
But
either
conceite
is
two
sundry
things
,
or
conceite
is
abused
;
for
to
tuck
,
&
to
be
stuffed
with
apish
tricks
,
to
weare
greene
cut
vpon
Yellow
and
to
be
a
very
meriment
to
the
eyes
,
I
haue
heard
termed
conceite
:
when
they
are
no
other
but
Tailour-like
friskes
of
the
sences
,
which
they
haue
seene
,
allowed
,
without
asking
eouncell
euen
of
the
common
sence
,
the
ware-house
common
to
beasts
,
and
to
men
.
But
the
worthies
Conceite
leaues
postes
betweene
the
sences
,
and
the
fancie
,
which
speedily
conuey
inttelligence
,
&
are
as
speedily
answered
.
It
is
a
fruitfull
land
sowed
,
&
reaped
at
an
instant
;
it
is
a
quick
workman
which
sendeth
&
receiueth
whatsoeuer
is
presented
in
a
time
:
It
is
in
a
word
,
a
fancie
well
disposed
,
not
onely
to
her
owne
faculty
,
but
to
the
abilities
of
both
neighbors
,
the
common
sence
&
the
memory
:
Her
power
is
doubly
set
a
worke
in
words
,
&
in
deeds
.
In
these
she
differeth
from
Iudgement
,
not
in
successe
,
but
ready
paiment
,
for
where
the
successe
is
ill
,
I
call
it
not
conceit
,
but
rashnesse
.
Words
vttered
,
turned
vpon
the
vtterer
,
is
conceite
,
when
nimblie
like
a
weapons
Artisan
,
he
makes
his
enemies
armes
his
enemies
destruction
.
Thus
Cicero
to
the
fellowe
,
who
to
showe
that
his
eloquence
was
mercenarie
,
demaunded
of
him
what
hee
should
giue
him
:
any
thing
(
answered
he
)
but
a
Tart
;
for
with
a
Tart
it
was
thought
he
poisoned
his
father
:
this
was
a
prety
Brickwall
,
&
bounded
the
slaunder
into
his
owne
bosome
.
There
is
no
such
stillitorie
as
a
quicke
braine
,
which
refines
and
makes
vse
of
whatsoeuer
comes
within
the
Pan
of
his
receit
.
Thus
to
Hortensius
,
who
told
him
he
vnderstood
no
ridles
,
and
yet
saith
he
,
thou
hast
a
sphinx
in
thy
house
:
kuowing
that
Verres
,
whose
cause
he
defended
,
had
a
little
before
giuen
him
an
Iuory
sphinx
;
his
intelligence
was
good
,
and
his
vse
good
:
thus
doth
wit
whip
oppositions
,
&
out-run
his
riuals
,
&
manifest
the
quicknes
of
his
dexteritie
.
Demosthenes
conceit
was
nothing
resty
,
when
being
mocked
by
a
theefe
called
Calchas
for
his
nightwatching
,
&
studying
by
Lamp-light
;
Indeed
,
said
he
,
I
know
nothing
so
contrary
to
thee
,
as
to
see
light
in
mens
houses
.
This
talent
is
commonly
giuen
youth
to
play
withall
,
and
it
is
a
prety
gift
to
begin
with
.
Nature
had
done
well
,
if
therwith
she
had
taught
vs
the
vse
,
which
is
(
as
I
thinke
)
for
defence
only
,
for
offensiue
,
it
is
to
offensiue
,
getting
enemies
beyond
the
power
of
conceite
to
defend
.
Besides
who
knoweth
whither
not
borrowed
,
which
if
it
be
,
he
becomes
disgracefull
,
and
ill
becomming
.
To
be
without
the
right
vse
is
to
be
naked
,
not
to
haue
it
without
study
is
as
vnfruitefull
as
a
Hargabush
making
a
full
point
betweene
the
firing
and
the
report
.
I
like
that
fellowe
well
who
desired
the
hangman
not
to
fasten
the
rope
about
his
neck
,
protesting
the
tickling
would
moue
him
too
vnmeasurable
laughter
,
I
see
not
how
he
could
haue
scarfed
his
shame
more
handsomely
:
his
last
refuge
then
was
to
mock
the
hangman
,
and
the
rope
,
and
to
dispise
life
as
a
runnagate
seruant
,
wee
haue
another
English
shot
as
quick
as
this
▪
one
being
showed
a
faire
woman
,
was
asked
what
he
would
doe
if
she
were
in
his
bed
,
he
answered
,
I
would
play
the
watchman
of
Callis
,
either
serue
my selfe
,
or
hire
another
in
my
roome
.
It
was
quicke
and

So
Archelaus
to
a
pratling
Barbor
,
that
asked
him
how
he
would
be
trimmed
,
he
answered
,
silently
:
this
was
for
both
parts
better
,
then
plainely
to
haue
bid
him
hold
his
peace
.
The
wantonnesse
of

mingles
sharpe
things
with
our
meates
,
and
when
we
haue
no
stomacke
,
makes
a
counterfait
stomacke
,
giuing
a
sharpenesse
like
the
humor
of
appetite
:
Thus
is
the
aboundaunce
of
wordes
made
not
distasting
,
with
giuing
the
apprehensions
of
the
auditories
vnexpected
acutenes
,

meeting
with

thrusts
it

In
the
times
of
danger

conceite
hath
a
much
brauer
lustre
,
it
manifests
a
minde
not
wholely
taken
vp
with
paine
,
or
with
perill
.
Thus
Pompey
aduised
by
his
Phisition
to
eate
Thrushes
,
and
no
man
hauing
any
but
Lucullus
,
what
(
saith
he
)
cannot
Pompey
liue
without
Lucullus
Thrushes
.
A
slaue
being
racked
to
accuse
Neroes
wife
of
dishonesty
,
stoutly
answered
,
that
her
part
capable
of
committing
that
crime
,
was
much
more
honest
then
the
mouthes
of
her
enemies
:
there
was
an
honorable
minde
in
the
body
of
that
slaue
:
and
if
euer
the
Pythagorean
Metempsychosis
had
any
colour
,
the
soule
of
this
slaue
did
surely
belong
to
some
worthy
personage
,
which
held
it
first
excellencie
in
despight
of
Fortune
and
opinion
.
Now
to
the
quicknesse
of
deedes
,
which
seemes
to
be
the
Hatte
sutable
to
this
Night-cap
.
This
neuer
is
without
vertue
;
Fortitude
must
be
here
aswell
as
wit
,
otherwise
feare
will
turne
wit
into
feare
.
From
Hanniball
may
be
had
more
of
these
patterns
,
then
from
any
one
within
the
compasse
of
my
memory
.
As
his
deluding
the
Romaine
armie
with
Oxen
carrying
fire-linckes
on
their
heads
,
whose
strangenesse
in
the
night
astonished
his
enemies
,
&
made
waye
for
him
to
escape
,
being
before
incompassed
in
a
straight
.
It
was
then
a
stratagem
of
great
wit
,
and
is
now
for
all
the
age
worthy
of
memorie
.
His
attempt
to
make
vse
of
the
slaine
Consuls
seale
of
Armes
,
was
not
vnworthy
though
vnfruitefull
.
His
beginning
of
his
warres
in
Italy
,
to
remooue
them
out
of
his
owne
confines
was
an
Acte
of
a
iudiciall
Senatour
:
but
this
I
thinke
was
put
in
practise
vpon
great
aduisement
:
these
other
no
sooner
thought
vpon
,
but
done
,
are
excellent
armours
against
daunger
.
Feare
is
content
to
haue
his
throate
cut
,
so
he
see
it
not
,
and
at
the
approache
of
his
enemie
turnes
his
backe
,
because
his
backe
hath
no
eyes
to
beholde
danger
,
he
lurkes
,
and
couers
his
bloodlesse
face
to
keepe
it
warme
:
but
to
meete
danger
halfe
way
,
and
in
the
meane
time
to
deuise
to
shun
,
nor
to
runne
from
it
,
becomes
valour
and
resolution
.
You

what
I

not

When
happinesse
and
a
freedome
of
minde
is
it
to
be
able
with
the
Tribune
Drusus
,
whose
house
partly
laye
open
to
the
sight
of
his
neighbours
,
when
being
offered
by
a
workman
for
fiue
Talents
to
haue
it
closed
,
he
offered
ten
to
haue
it
laide
open
to
the
view
of
all
eyes
,
that
the
worlde
might
see
his
whole
life
,
&
that
vice
might
be
driuen
from
that
flattery
to
thinke
others
doe
as
ill
,
but
not
knowne
,
because
concealed
.
Thus
counsaile
saith
to
me
,
and
I
beleeue
her
,
thinking
(
though
with
the
mist
of

vnexperienced

that
shee
speakes
truly

That
I
am
a
man
,
I
am
bound
to
doe
something
;
that
a
Christian
,
some
thing
not
ill
:
so
I
thinke
of
this
,
in
respect
of
my
purpose
,
not
in
my
purposes
performance
.
It
is
called
madnesse
to

and
meditation
goeth
with
so

a

I
write
therefore
to
my selfe

my selfe
proffites

:
If
a

carryes
it

I

41.
Of
Sorrowe
.
THe
most
acceptable
blessing
that
euer
I
had
,
was
a
Sonne
,
in
whose
time
of
growing
meete
to
see
the
worlde
,
I
examined
often
how
to
fit
my selfe
for
his
approache
.
I
durst
not
but
smile
,
and
seeme
ioyfull
,
for
feare
of
a
Mid-wifes
censure
,
with
whome
Dame
Nature
beeing
also
a
Gossip
,
conspired
to
make
me
ioyfull
:
I
was
indeed
;
but
yet
reason
taught
me
,
that
extremities
tosse
the
life
of
man
in
vncertainties
,
and
ioye
immoderately
swallowed
,
surfets
,
&
the
surfet
turnes
into
sorrowe
.
Thus
haue
I
determined
of
all
things
here
,
being
halfe
a
●●rbonia
concerning
these
Terrene
businesse
,
in
my
opinion
holding
opinion
the
mother
of
ioye
and
fortune
.
What
is
mortall
,
is
mutable
,
and
our
ioyes
here
,
often
yeelde
their
place
to
sorrow
,
and
sorrow
to
ioy
.

Why
then
doe
we
determine
these
pricelesse
things
,
at
so
inesti●●●●
a
rate
as
to
disturbe
the
whole
life
,
and
crase
the
body
for
these
mutabilities
?
how
farre
doth
a
farmers
pollicie
exceede
all
other
politikes
?
what
doth
he
with
a
farme
that
he
holdes
from
yeare
to
yeare
,
but
make
his
vse
of
it
,
and
driue
it
?
what
doth
he
possessing
one
but
for
a
fewe
yeares
but
the
same
?
the
fee-simple
,
or
many
liues
;
shal
perswade
him
to
build

&
to

it
,
and
husband
it
,
otherwise
hee
conuerts
it
to
a
present
proffit
,
and
prepares
to
be
gone

.
It
is
strange
to
obserue
the
wisedome
of
man
,
how
much
good
he
knowes
,
and
how
basely
he
vseth
it
:
there
is
hardly
a
creature
borne
that
is
sensible
,
but
〈◊〉
full
of
principles
able
to
vphold
his
life
in
a
good
&
safe
estate
,
did
he
not
〈◊〉
that
naked
,
and
apply
them
to
baser
vses
,
as
taking
care
for
cuffes
,
&
for
going
wool-ward
.
Who
loues
colours
〈◊〉
buyes
them
,
but
inquires
if
they
will
hold
?
and
that
they
will
he
takes
for
their
best
quallity
,
but
himselfe
neuer
blameth
,
nor
priseth
himselfe
the
lesse
,
though
he
changeth
&
looseth
colour
and
qualitie
in
euery
instant
.
He
that
neuer
knew
Tailours
measure
,
&
caries
his
body
about
for
a
paterne
,
yet
he
wil
not
buy
vntil
he
hath
fitted
himselfe
,
&
examined
the
stuffes
continuance
yet
he
will
intertaine
giddy
affections
,
buy
them
,
and
weare
them
,
though
neither
fit
,
nor
lasting
.
Maisters

42.
Of
Solitarinesse
and
Company
.
HOw
true
a
principle
of
vertue
is
it
,
that
crossing
our
appetite
is
the
way
of
vertue
?
Appetite
is
the
childe
of
the
sences
,
and
sencelesse
when
hee
vseth
but
his
parents
counsaile
:
how
true
a
testimonie
is
this
Axiome
of
our
vile
inclinations
,
when
it
needes
not
the
exception
of
good
desires
,
for
all
our
desires
ate
naught
.
Thus
hath
solitarinesse
fallen
into
knowledge
,
because
speach
and
reason
loue
trafficke
and
exercise
,
the
former
of
which
is
vnecchoed
without
company
,
the
last
naked
,
for
reason
is
made
forcible
by
exercise
.
Societies
sweeten
the
bitternesse
of
life
,
for
life
without
societie
is
Viuere
,
non
bene
viuere
:
the
obiection
of
calamities
attending
it
as
well
as
happinesse
,
is
resisted
by
the
whole
vnderstanding
of
man
,
fo●
what
knowes
he
that
is
not
answered
with
a
contrarie
?
that
excellent
supernaturall
blessing
of
man
,
his
Creator
,
his
God
,
hath
a
contrary
,
the
cursse
,
the
pitche
of
his
extreame
danger
,
&
perill
:
lower
,
what
goodnesse
is
without
temptations
?
what
happinesse
not
possible
to
bee
transformed
to
her
contrary
?
who
then
seekes
shelter
in
a
caue
,
outwardly
imbalmeth
his
malady
which
cures
,
Phisick
saith
he
,
doth
but
leasurely
cure
,
it
delaies
,
not
ends
his
wars
,
for
he
caries
with
him
a
body
,
which
like
childrens
fancies
will
wheresoeuer
find
sportes
,
and
delights
.
The
life
of
contemplation
at
once
bearing
the
functions
,
and
pleasures
of
the
body
,
makes
the
body
striue
for
imployment
,
helpes
not
that
it
is
wholy
incompassed
,
for
it
makes
it
the
more
furious
,
as
when
one
dissenting
element
imbraceth
another
,
the
stricter
his
kindnes
,
the
more
violent
the
others
rage
.
Thus
holinesse
sequestred
,
sequestring
the
bodyes
exercise
,
makes
it
flie
to
the
meditation
of
this
life
,
will
be
glorious
,
&
admirable
in
the
world
.
He
must
thinke
,
and
those
thoughts
come
through
his
body
,
and
there
are
polluted
with
vaine-glory
,
or
hipocrisie
,
or
some
other
such
malady
incident
to
this
retired
course
.
If
from
the
scorne
of
the
worlde
,
or
the
being
scorned
by
the
worlde
,
if
from
the
despaire
of
not
being
greatest
,
we
can
feede
vpon
nothing
but
extremities
,
and
therefore
will
be
least
:
if
from
losses
,
or
a
feare
of
loosing
,
we
are
not
eased
of
the
cares
and
danger
of
the
world
▪
but
rather
ingrosse
a
map
of
her
miseries
,
and
differ
from
the
other
life
onely
in
desperation
:
for
we
steale
the
deuouring
monsters
of
dispaire
,
selfe-loue
,
disdaine
,
&
scorne
,
into
a
corner
,
and
there
sacrifice
ourselues
vnto
their
insatiate
appetites
,
past
danger
,
for
hope
here
cannot
hope
of
rescue
,
vnknowne
diseases
beeing
diseases
vncurable
.
For
secular
fortunes
this
cloystered
life
is
not
tollerable
,
it
resists
reason
and
goodnesse
,
which
both
ioyne
in
guiding
vs
to
societie
,
&
the
common
good
,
which
hath
neede
of
the
worst
of
vs
,
euen
of
those
whose
handes
are
their
best
partes
:
for
execution
sets
more
a
worke
then
direction
.
There
is
a
last
time
of
life
,
when
decrepitnesse
kills
experience
,
and
when
age
hath
not
onely
set
vp
his
markes
of
triumph

the
Prologue
of

Curtaine

before

but
euen
before

;
It
is
then
time
to
giue
that
life
leaue
to
thinke
onely
of
death
,
and
to
prepare
for
his
last
iourney
.
Thus
haue
many
kings
wilfully
deposed
themselues
,
for
which
power
,
&
which
performance
,
I
thinke
they
were
more
bound
to
God
,
then
for
making
them
kings
.
But
a
life
in
the
strength
of
minde
and
body
,
commits
sacriledge
to
sequester
it selfe
from
the
world
,
for
he
for
his
country
is
his
mother
)
In
a
word
he
declines
to
his
worst
part
,
for
beastes
liue
so
,
and
leaues
the
imitation
of
his
diuinest
father
,
whose
greatnesse
is
goodnesse
,
and
whose
goodnesse
is
excellent
,
because
stretching

if

it

:
what
doe
these
then
that
depriue
themselues
of

to

?
our
preaciousnes
is
reason
,
reasons
seruant
is
speech
,
which
is
the
messenger
of
reason
,
and
reasons
meditation
:
these
are
the
cement
of
societies
,
to
beare
these
with
solitarines
is
to
contend
with
nature
for
wisdome
who
hath
abilities
,
and
vseth
them
not
,
as
some
creatures
strength
,
others
hornes
what
recken

them
but
brutish
,
and
reasonles
?
But
man
hath
more
excellent
ornamentes
,
&
the
vse
of
them
is
society
,
and
company
,
which
he
must
imbrace
,
it
being
impious
to
giue
an
example
of
leauing
the
word
desolate
.
He
must
,
so
must
he
eate
,
and
f●om

come
surffers
as
wel
as
health
,
from

corruption
,
as
well
as
purity
:
the
neighbourhood
of
these
poysons
to
these
wholsome
things
I
should
lament
,
were
not
reason
giuen
vs
to
cut
them
a
sunder
,
and
to
choose
wisely
:
I
do
not
in
this
choyce
compell
,
or
wish
men
to
couet
thronges
or
multitudes
,
to
hunt
dry-foote
after
feasts
,
and
assemblies
,
such
are
to
be
eschewed
,
their
very
smel
&
noise
without
their
familiarity
,
being
daungerous
,
and
offensiue
.
I
thinke
Senecaes
sentence
of
his
neuer
comming
among
men
,
but
he
went
home
a
worse
man
then
when
he
came
out
,
leueld
at
these
flockes
.
But
to
make
his
choice
of
company
,
to
vse
speech
with
them
able
to
assure
himselfe
,
&
better
them
(
for
as
Faces
differ
,
so
temperatures
,
and
from
their
temperatures
comes
variety
of
reasons
)
becomes
wisedom
.
Euery

our
Mechanick
Trades
,
as
well
as
Artes
witnesse
it
,
for
the
lightes
of
these
came
not
from
one
lampe
:
our
proportions
,
&
casts
are
to
little
to
comprehend
the
vniuersall
knowledge
of
things
:
therfore
one
helpes
another
with
the
conference
of
one
another
:
minds
traffick
like

,
a
Hat
for
a

,
the
Shoomaker

To

is
the
meanes
,
to
become
temperate

example
:
we
must
call
out
men
expert
in
these
,
and
accompany
them
:
we
are
not
as
the
Bee
,
the
sweetenesse
of
whose
nature
makes
things
of
another
nature
sweete
:
alas
,
no
:
It
must
be
good
we
receiue
,
and
then
perhaps
we
will
make
it
better
,
but
if
ill
,
we
make
it
worse
.
To
be
knowne
much
,
to
be
saluted
much
,
to
be
in
presses
much
is
not
the
way
of
wisedome
Clamours
,
and
salutations
distract
vs
:
our
sences
receiue
singly
,
we
heare
not
two
tales
at
once
,
at
once
we
see
but
one
thing
,
the
Braine
ioynes
,
and
dilates
after
.
Thus
must
we
vse
company
for
conference
,
and
conference
to
be
inriched
by
seldome
happens
among
multitudes
.
Except
in
an
Army
,
and
a
counsell
chamber
,
I
would
proportion
my

not

I
am
not
much
blowne
,
nor
stirred
with
the
vulgar
opinion
,
and
yet
I
finde
an
aptnes
in
my selfe
,
to
eschew
their
opinion
.
If
I
were
so
great
as
Alexander
,
to
prohibite
euery
man
but
Lisippus
to
proportion
mee
,
it
were
well
then
to
go
so
naked
,
as
to
be
commonly
known
and
consured
:
for
did
none
but
the
skilfull
determine
me
,
I
should
be
sure
their
reprehension
were
trueth
,
and
I
would
amend
,
or
prosecute
accordingly
●
but
when
he
that
stoopes
worse
well

my
leaning
forward
,
and

deride
them
that
are
not
tall
,
what
s
better
then
to
auoyde
comming
within
their
reach
,
by
priuatenesse
?
But
this
leanes
to
affection
,
so
much
priuatnesse
is
good
,
as
betters
an
abilitie
to
become
publike
.
I
should
not

,
and
spreade
it selfe
to

,
and
giue

to
the

of

Our
eye
giues
the

the
circle
of
a

,
and
our

differs
not

for
as
the

lightens

the

The

showes

the

wherfore
:
with
their

they
commaund
the
most

with
their

the

so
excellently

the
Sun
not

for

the

not

the

How

at

If

how

ought
we

the

were

the

these
conuerse
with

mindes
,
vpon
whome
by
the
helpe
of
custome
they
cast
either
gra●es

They
must
be

able

we
make
choyce
of
our

places
by
the

of

which
if
ill

we
suck
in

so
if

Those
that
we
continue

I
would
haue
firme

But
for

let

it
is
no

somtime

Among

vse
the

sound
them

see
where
their

follow
that
argument

it

for
euery

I

for
silence
among
strangers
is
safe
besides

Obseruation
loues
not
to
speake
,
but
to
heare
,
and
from
obseruation
,
comes
experience
,
and
wisdom
.
To
the

wee
must
lend
respect

not

what

Alexander
in
his

,
entertayning
the
Persian
Ambassadours
,
may
instruct
the
ripest
yeeres
,
at
that
time
his
questions
tended
to
the
inuading
,
and
conquering
the
world
:
for
he
asked
of
their
hauens
,
their
passages
,
and
distances
betweene
place
,
and
place
,
of
the
power
of
their
king
,
of
his
conuersation
with
his
friendes
,
and
his
enemies
:
out
of
this
more
certainely
,
then
for
the
managing
of
Bucephalus
might
his
father
haue
prophecied
,
that
the
confines
of
macedon
were
to
narrow
for
him
.
Me
thinks
this
childhood
of
Alexanders
withstandeth
the
right
of
fortune
to
any
of
his
enterprises
:
for
he
beganne
with
wisedome
,
and
was
worthy
to
end
with
honour
.
She
hath
to
doe
rather
with

like

shewed

hee
would
deceiue
them
,
beginning
to
speake
,
and
to
speake
wisely
almost
at
an

The

of

makes
things
worth

company
by
the

an

our

IT
troubles
mee
not
to
see
the

professions
of
Dauncers

Tumblers
cast
their

Rat-catchers

sweare

I
knewe

vpon
the

I
knew
him
guilty

it
is
not

when

shee
was

none

how
crooked
and
deformed
make
they
their
mindes
,
with
rancking
with
these
bond
men
of
their
sences
?
I
know
we
are
the
sonnes
of
a
fallen
father
,
but
mercy
hath
helped
vs
vp
againe
,
and
though
we
be
originallie
sinfull
,
we
may
be
eternally
happy
:
we
need
not
still
buy
Apples
,
we
payed
too
dearely
already
for
that
purchase
.
But
as
a
drunken
night
makes
a
mistie
morning
;
so
are
our
knowledges
still
taking
one
thing
for
another
,
and
inquiring
what
will
looke
faire
,
not
what
will
last
.
Can
we
see
,
and
yet
do
we
not
see
,
that
vanity
is
nothing
but
like
a
single
guilt
,
which
a
shower
transformeth
to
durt
or
rust
?
making
shift●like
dauncers
,
that
deuise
changes
in
their
daunces
,
calling
them
by
another
name
,
because
the
singles
or
the
doubles
differ
.
Vanity
in
factions
in
the
very
Index
of
vanity
,
for
all
that
she
doth
,
is
but
with
her
rotten
body
to
put
on
a
new
forme
.
I
account
them
more
daungerously
ill
that
are
drunke
with
vanitie
,
then
those
with
wine
:
for
a
morning
makes
one
himselfe
,
but
the
other
is
hardly
ransomed
with
yeares
,
but
is
euer
staggering
,
and
falling
,
eyther
in
his
words
,
cloathes
,
or
actions
.
Heere
am
I
fallen
into
a
bottomlesse
pit
,
indeed
past
eyther
the
nature
of
an
Essay
,
or
my
writing
,
which
agree
in
a
short
touching
of
things
,
rather
then
in
an
histories
constancie
,
I
baite
rather
then
dwell
in
them
;
but
this
anatomized
will
make
Folio
volumes
looke
lesse
then
Primmers
.
Pull
man
from
vanity
,
and
he
is
like
Birdes
that
are
nothing
but
Feathers
.
The
incomprehensible
soule
of
Heauen
,
of
whom
we
are
but
drops
,
yet
that
we
came
from
him
,
we
hold
that
preciousnesse
,
that
sodainely
our
mindes
can
drawe
the
picture
of
the
bodyes
passages
,
and
so
fruitefully
as
to
runne
diuision
vpon
it
:
then
is
it
possible
to
ouertake
vanitie
spurred
by
the
minde
,
since
horse
and
rider
runne
so
fast
,
so
quicke
,
and
so
farre
?
A
little
though
I
wil
follow
it
to
the
descrying
these
three
,
wordes
,
clothes
,
and
actions
,
the
depth
of
which
I
would
be
loth
to
bee
able
to
reach
,
for
I
should
then
be
accessary
to
too
much
vanity
.
Some
I
haue
,
which
beeing
a
kin
to
more
,
bringes
me
acquainted
with
more
.
I
haue
tasted
of
more
then
I
haue
digested
:
for
at
twenty
yeares
old
,
I
vomited
a
great
deale
that
I
drunke
at
19.
and
some
new
I
haue
,
of
which
this
Essay
is
part
.
Of
wordes
first
:
for
it
is
one
of
the
first
things
we
do
,
they
are
but
the
Lackies
of
reason
of
which
,
to
send
more
then
will
performe
the
busines
is
superfluous
,
me
thinkes
,
an
esse
videatur
at
the
close
of
a
period
,
is
as
nice
as
a
Tumbler
ending
his
trickes
with
a
caper
:
and
Tullies
Venit
,
imo
in
senatum
venit
,
moues
me
no
more
against
Catiline
then
the
first
Venit
.
Me
thinkes
,
this
same
rethorick
the
child
of
words
,
is
but
as
a
pickled
Herring
to
bring
on
drinke
,
for
his
diuisions
and
repetitions
are
for
nothing
but
to
bring
his
memory
acquainted
with
his
tongue
,
and
to
make
three
works
of
one
.
How
shall
a
man
hope
to
come
to
an
end
of
their
workes
,
when
he
cannot
with
two
breathes
saile
through
a
Period
,
and
is
sometimes
grauelled
in
a
Parenthesis
?
I
wonder
how
Cicero
got
the
people
of
Rome
tyed
so
fast
to
his
tongue
,
for
which
his
matter
,
no
better
then
his
stile
,
hee
shoulde
not
perswade
mee
to
looke
vpon
him
?
I
make
as
great
difference
betweene
Tacitus
,
Senecaes
stile
,
and
his
,
as
musitions
betweene
Trenchmore
,
and
and
Lachrymae
.
Me
thinkes
the
braine
should
daunce
a
Iigge
at
the
hearing
a
Tullian
sound
,
and
sit
in
counsaile
when
it
heares
the
other
.
But
his
matter
is
substantiall
,
and
honest
,
and
though
hee
bee
betrayed
among
Pedauntes
,
and
Boyes
(
which
hee
may
thanke
his
Style
for
)
yet
hee
is
meeter
for
greater
persons
,
and
sounder
iudgements
.
But
eloquence
(
as
we
take
eloquence
)
it
is
of
no
vse
,
but
among
such
eares
as
call
a
Bag-pipe
musick
,
it
fittes
them
,
and
among
them
must
be
vsed
;
but
among
wisemen
,
it
is
to
distrust
their
vnderstandings
,
loosing
time
in
repetitions
,
and
Tautologies
.
The
vertue
of
things
is
not
in
their
bignesse
,
but
quality
,
and
so
of
reason
which
wrapped
in
a
fewe
words
hath
the
best
tang
.
Those
which
are
subiect
to
this
prodigalitie
,
they
should
helpe
themselues
,
as
stutterers
,
by
learning
to
sing
,
so
these
by
making
verses
,
whose
number
tyes
vp
wordes
and
giues
reason
libertie
,
carrying
reason
leuell
to
the
soule
,
and
giuing
a
reporte
out
of
the
mouth
,
as
Gun-powder
from
Ordinance
.
This
disease
of
wordes
let
in
by
Cicero
,
was
not
long
after
letten
out
:
for
Augustus
following
almost
in
the
furie
of
the
shower
,
was
faine
to
arme
himselfe
with
writing
all
he
meant
to
speake
,
seriously
,
euen
his
speaches
to
his
wife
,
which
was
painfull
and
dangerous
:
for
if
the
women
had
beene
ledde
by
his
example
,
the
worlde
sure
at
this
day
had
beene
inhabited
by
nothing
but
papers
:
yet
he
durst
not
doe
otherwise
,
least
Plus
,
minusue
loqueretur
ex
tempore
,
which
cannot
choose
but
happen
to
a
tongue
that
runnes
proud
after
wordes
.
But
they
are
worse
that
send
messengers
without
an
errand
,
that
speake
,
and
yet
gelde
their
speach
of
meaning
,
like
a
foulded
sheete
of
paper
without
any
infoulding
.
Thus
I
haue
heard
speach
cast
out
of
a
mouth
worse
then
ridles
,
which
neither
speaker
nor
hearer
could
interpret
.
In
the
same
file
are
Prouerb-mongers
,
whose
throates
are
worne
like
roade-wayes
,
with
little
saide
is
soone
amended
:
It
is
no
halting
before
a
Criple
,
and
such
like
:
when
I
heare
one
of
these
I
looke
for
his
drye
nursse
,
for
from
her
armes
he
plucked
this
language
.
I
haue
liked
my
patience
as
much
for
inducing
these
trialls
,
as
for
any
of
her
sufferinges
:
for
what
can
be
more
contrary
to
tunable
eares
,
then
to
heare
this
most
excellent
instrument
abused
,
and
to
heare
ignoraunce
clap
the
aire
with
his
breath
?
his
lippes
opening
like
a
purse
without
money
,
and
his
tonge
like
a
Fencer
before
a
Pageaunt
stirring
,
not
striking
:
of
whom
when
all
is
finished
may
be
said
.
N●mo
tibi
dicit
dictis
quis
denique
Finis
?
The
tongue
is
the
key
of
the
mind
,
the
minde
the
casket
,
holding
all
our
ritches
to
discouer
which
ordinarily
,
is
to
make
another
key
besides
his
owne
to
commaunde
your
owne
,
which
makes
yours
▪
anothers
.
To
discouer
bright
things
so
often
,
as
may
bee
called
wearing
them
,
soiles
them
:
but
to
discouer
all
you
haue
,
and
that
all
shall
proue
nothing
,
is
the
most
miserable
:
so
doth
the
mediocritye
betweene
too
much
speach
,
and
silence
fit
both
wise-men
,
and
fooles
,
for
the
ones
ware
is
to
good
,
the
others
to
bad
.
Mee
thinkes
,
this
same
vanity
of
clothes
hath
done
vertue
wrong
,
for
wee
discry
great
men
as
much
by
their
clothes
,
as
actions
,
which
is
very
improper
:
for
we
allow
not
houses
by
their
plaistering
,
and
gaynesse
,
but
by
their
roomes
,
and
conueniency
.
Hath
it
not
also
weakened
our
best
force
,
and
made
vs
call
in
outward
helpes
?
for
not
of
our
heads
,
but
of
our
Tailours
wee
aske
aide
,
where
power
languisheth
with
entertaining
these
baudes
of
pleasure
,
sedition
comes
in
,
for
when
pouerty
findes
her
endles
labours
end
with
powring
her
gaines
into
excesse
,
mutinie
counsailes
want
against
this
too
much
plenty
:
Thus
to
these
miserable
ones
speakes
a
seditious
fellow
in
the
Florentine
state
,
strip
vs
all
naked
(
saith
he
)
and
you
shall
perceiue
no
difference
,
cloathe
vs
with
their
garments
,
&
then
with
ours
,
&
doubtlesse
we
shall
looke
like
noblemen
,
they
looke
like
vassalls
,
for
it
is
onely
pouerty
,
and
riches
that
makes
the
disparity
beweene
vs
.
It
is
the
lustre
of
greatnesse
,
&
yet
the
most
daungerous
:
daungerous
,
for
it
feedes
enuy
,
daungerous
,
for
it
makes
vs
vnapt
for
any
other
estate
,
to
which
mortalitie
being
ouer
subiect
should
neuer
be
vnfit
to
entertaine
it
.
Cleopatrats
miserie
looked
much
more
deformed
,
because
mens
memoryes
could
ioyne
her
present
state
,
to
the
state
she
put
vpon
her
when
she
would
resemble
the
Goddesse
Isis
:
it
is
like
a
face
vsed
to
looke
through
a
ruffe
,
when
put
in
a
falling
band
lookes
as
if
looking
through
a
halter
.
But
this
is
a
common
curse
vpon
greatnesse
,
that
it
can
nothing
so
well
defend
it selfe
from
misfortune
,
as
misfortune
from
fortunate
:
to
become
great
of
little
indures
much
better
,
then
to
become
little
of
great
.
I
cannot
thinke
it
a
lawfull
excuse
,
to
say
,
the
minde
stil
aimes
vpward
:
no
,
the
minde
of
vertue
is
still
it selfe
,
and
is
it selfe
,
let
fortunes
Arithmeticke
be
either
adding
,
or
substracting
:
shee
can
ioyne
no
more
earth
to
her
then
the
body
,
and
rather
would
she
be
rid
of
that
,
then
receiue
more
.
It
is
disputable
,
whether
these
robes
of
greatnesse
should
at
all
bee
allowed
,
but
to
be
in
them
alwayes
,
without
question
is
disallowed
.
There
are
some
that
can
see
,
and
not
iudge
,
know
these
,
it
is
necessary
for
greatnes
to
show
them
somewhat
which
they
may
vnderstand
.
Now
for
the
light
changes
of
attire
,
me
thinkes
they
goe
like
a
singing
catch
,
some
are
beginning
when
others
are
ending
,
others
in
the
middest
when
another
begins
againe
.
Let
another
bee
absent
from
this
mint
,
and
without
the
discipline
of
a
Tailour
but
a
few
monthes
,
and
at
his
next
appearance
his
friends
shall
not
knowe
whether
hee
bee
a
man
,
or
a
Ghoast
of
times
past
,
or
a
spirite
mouing
a
Westminster
Statue
.
The
money-maisters
haue
not
ingrossed
all
vanitye
,
though
they
haue
money
,
for
these
people
haue
a
chaunge
where
to
bee
out
of
fashion
is
to
be
banquerupt
,
and
as
the
ones
billes
are
protested
,
so
the
others
discretion
.
This
is
not
to
haue
a
head
,
but
a
hat
buttond
vp
on
the
side
:
It
is
no
matter
what
soule
,
so
a
body
in
fashion
,
of
which
though
I
doe
despise
it
enough
,
yet
I
wishe
it
no
other
mischiefe
then
the
Painters
Shoppe
,
where
a
picture
of
seauen
yeares
since
,
lookes
more
like
an
Anticke
Dauncer
,
than
a
man
.
But
thus
shall
I
be
,
if
I
speake
more
of
them
,
for
I
drawe
them
,
and
Time
drawes
them
out
of
fashion
,
and
they
if
I
laye
any
more
holde
on
them
,
drawe
me
.
But
now
the
motions
of
man
,
by
reason
of
his
reason
called
Actions
,
what
an
Eclipse
doe
they
suffer
with
vanityes
darke
bodye
getting
betweene
them
,
and
the
clearenesse
of
reason
?
what
see
wee
almost
performed
?
How
neerely
soeuer
resembling
vertue
,
which
more
deepelye
examined
would
not
prooue
vanity
?
euen
Diuinitie
is
not
free
,
for
Hipocrisie
killes
many
actions
,
which
without
hipocrisie
would
be
vertues
;
but
I
will
leaue
this
office
to
Diuines
,
whose
sightes
can
better
discouer
the
inuisible
walkings
of
professours
of
good-dooing
ill
.
In
secular
professions
,
I
hardly
see
euen
the
grauest
goe
without
touching
vanity
,
performing
as
much
for
ostentations
sake
,
as
for
vertues
,
the
obseruation
of
which
hath
made
me
so
incredulous
,
as
I
beleeue
light
actions
,
no
more
than
I
do
words
:
he
that
protests
he
loues
his
country
,
&
in
some
aduenture
of
his
pursse
and
paines
,
showes
it
,
I
am
neuer
the
more
mooued
to
extoll
him
:
but
when
in
a
breache
he
defends
his
countrie
,
when
he
calleth
the
forces
of
his
scattered
countrimen
shattered
by
Fortune
,
and
so
out
of
hope
,
as
his
action
may
bee
called
the
dying
with
his
Countrey
;
I
will
begin
then
to
trust
him
:
or
if
like
the
keeper
of
a
Forte
in
the
olde
Florentine
dissentions
,
who
being
beseiged
,
and
his
Castle
fired
,
threwe
his
owne
children
into
the
flame
,
willing
them
to
take
those
giftes
of
Fortune
,
but
for
his
honour
,
he
held
that
in
his
brest
,
which
no
shocke
of
fortune
should
ouerthrowe
,
nor
fire
melte
,
Were
there
not
such
men
to
inriche
Histories
,
how
idle
a
thing
were
a
Historie
?
for
who
is
not
mooued
to
followe
this
honorable
patterne
?
his
children
were
not
more
inflamed
with
the
fire
,
then
the
vertuous
reader
,
mee
thinkes
,
should
be
with
his
throwing
them
in
the
fier
:
now
may
we
sweare
he
loued
his
countrie
,
and
honour
,
and
from
him
may
distingush
betweene
the
louers
of
Fame
and
Vertue
:
for
Fames
seruantes
loue
commendations
,
but
with
all
they
loue
to
heare
it
themselues
:
the
other
thinkes
of
vertue
not
of
Life
.
It
needes
no
wonder
though
their
valures
differ
,
that
imploy
them
for
fame
,
from
those
for
vertue
.
Were
I
the
seruant
of
Fame
,
it
should
be
my
case
,
for
her
rewardes
are
fainte
and
leane
:
the
fire
nourishing
valour
,
comes
from
no
outward
thing
,
but
from
the
sweetnesse
of
the
meditation
of
vertue
:
but
Fame
thinks
not
on
that
,
but
lookes
who
seeth
her
,
and
dooth
worse
then
louers
,
that
drawe
their
vigour
from
their
Mistresse
eyes
.
Vertue
hath
Fame
,
though
vertue
workes
not
for
fame
,
which
mee
thinkes
is
an
excellent
testimonie
of
the
diuine
goodnesse
,
when
not
onelie
his
,
and
humaine
lawes
teache
it
,
but
euen
from
the
example
of
our
familiars
may
be
read
good
and
bad
.
Thus

Alberti
banished
by
the
Florentines
,
for
after
his
death
they
confessed
their
errour
,
and
fetched
home
his
bones
,
buying
them
with
solemne
pompe
,
and
honour
,
whome
being
aliue
they
had
persecuted
with
slaunder
and
reproache
.
In
matters
of
pollicie
,
vanitie
beares
no
lesse
swaye
,
when
from
the
force
of
rules
and
institutions
,
they
thinke
to
maintaine
states
.
Policie
conducted
by
vertue
,
I
thinke
the
life
of
Gouernment
,
without
which
a
common-wealth
can
no
more
liue
,
then
a
bodie
without
a
soule
:
but
policie
(
as
it
is
commonly
taken
and
vsed
)
is
no
more
certaine
nor
profitable
,
then
a
Farmers
drawing
all
his
Councell
from
a
Kalender
.
It
raines
,
of
which
Philosophy
will
say
,
the
sunnes
drawing
vp
of
moysture
from
the
earth
is
the
cause
:
alas
▪
this
is
the
last
cause
,
but
the
cause
of
causes
we
vnderstand
not
.
Tracke
by
Philosophie
the
most
impotent
naturall
thing
,
for
some
discentes
you
may
go
with
it
,
but
the
ende
is
,
you
must
leaue
it
,
attributing
it
to
the
intelligences
,
and
to
the
first
cause
past
the
ability
of
our
meditations
strength
;
for
wee
are
yet
humaine
,
they
meerelie
diuine
.
As
this
,
so
this
pollicie
is
coniecturall
,
and
vncertaine
,
full
of
perill
,
neuer
safe
.
Of
men
of
this
kinde
,
Caesar
Borgia
is
a
fitte
example
,
in
whome
was
as
much
wicked
wisedome
,
as
I
thinke
euer
in
anye
,
with
which
hee
fared
like
a
Cock-boate
in
a
storme
,
now
alofte
,
now
suncke
,
and
still
in
his
desseignes
,
rather
increased
in
his
sinnes
,
then
in
his
power
:
at
last
when
hee
meant
one
that
should
not
haue
assisted
his
rising
,
hee
killed
the
supporter
of
his
heigth
.
Hee
that
will
with
naturall
accidents
seeke
to
diminishe
the
diuine
hand
in
this
worke
,
doth
impiously
,
and
is
in
the
waye
of
Atheisme
:
for
it
is
manifest
,
God
meant
to
punish
,
and
to
teache
in
this
example
,
that
hee
did
it
rather
by
his
ministers
,
then
immediately
,
explaining
his
diuine
wisedome
,
which
inforced
them
to
runne
into
their
owne
plots
laide
for
others
.
Not
onely
dooth
heauen
detest
this
course
,
but
euen
among
men
it
is
vaine
:
though
the
strength
of
a
state
may
be
knowne
,
their
vse
lyes
hidden
.
Euery
daye
doth
the
witte
of
industrie
inlarge
it selfe
,
and
deuise
vses
of
things
,
which
without
the
spirite
of
Prophecie
,
or
chaunce
,
may
be
without
his
rules
,
and
then
who
seeth
him
not
apt
to
fall
into
the
worste
errours
?
Thus
hath
Artillery
put
the
auncient
Romaine
and
Graecian
Histories
out
of
fashion
in
many
things
:
thus
hath
the
experience
of
their
times
,
and
the
witte
of
these
,
changed
almost
the
whole
body
of
gouernment
.
Who
heareth
of
Lycurgus
common-wealth
not
skilled
in
Antiquities
,
and
beleeues
it
not
rather
a
thing
thought
,
then
done
?
Doubtlesse
the
witte
of
man
is
too
excellent
a
thing
to
bee
catcht
in
a
snare
which
hee
seeth
lye
before
him
,
he
goeth
not
alwayes
one
waye
:
though
lawes
can
fadome
the
driftes
of
vice
,
yet
those
of
wisedome
,
this
pollicie
cannot
,
for
it
is
vpwarde
,
euen
to
heauen
is
her
flight
;
the
other
earthly
and
visible
.
But
I
may
in
this
offende
,
like
some
confutours
that
haue
ended
their
paines
with
making
their
cause
worse
.
This
paper
is
yet
in
my
handes
,
but
in
whose
it
may
be
;
I
knowe
not
:
and
howsoe●●●
I
meane
,
others
not
meaning
well
,
may
make
helpe
their
ill
.
It
must
be
God
,
that
in
these
and
all
other
things
must
helpe
vs
,
wee
are
no
other
then
his
instrumentes
:
when
we
vndertake
to
bee
handes
,
we
sin
in
presumption
:
vnder
his
conduct
things
come
to
a
conclusion
.
Those
that
prosper
for
a
while
without
his
counsaile
,
and
direction
,
they
are
but
the
Instruments
of
his
scourge
,
and
prosper
no
longer
then
while
they
are
in
their
executioners
office
,
we
go
blind
fold
without
the
Sunne
,
can
we
then
go
without
his
licence
that
made
the
Sunne
?
Wee
are
to
impotent
to
stand
without
a
supporter
,
our
actions
rest
in
doubt
,
and
our
discourse
cannot
resolue
them
,
but
euer
wee
shall
thinke
La
tardita
noi
toglie
L'occasione
,
la
celerita
●e
for●e
.
I
account
in
this
list
all
that
account
their
countrey
vngratefull
,
or
that
repine
at
her
commaundementes
:
shee
cannot
bee
,
for
thou
art
for
her
vse
,
and
if
thou
bee'st
vnprofitable
,
with
iustice
shee
may
put
thee
awaye
.
Wee
must
not
thinke
shee
can
doe
vniustlye
,
it
is
Arrogancy
,
and
partiality
,
to
compare
thy
knowledge
with
hers
:
our
soules
are
for
heauen
,
our
bodyes
for
our
Countrey
,
and
that
excellent
Issue
of
heauen
,
is
destinated
to
no
worke
vpon
the
earth
,
but
to
vphould
this
our
common
mother
.
How
may
wee
blush
that
are
ouercome
by
heathens
and
yet
haue
the
oddes
of
diuinity
?
by
them
,
that
knew
vertues
preciousnesse
onely
in
fame
,
when
wee
know
shee
is
curraunt
in
the
worlde
of
worldes
?
this
hath
come
from
an
opinion
that
their
ignoraunce
produced
valour
,
but
this
opinion
is
as
full
of
sinne
as
follye
.
Is
valour
prohibited
because
murder
;
and
selfe
murther
is
prohibited
?
the
building
cannot
stand
where
the
foundation
is
false●
they
faile
in
the
definition
of
fortitude
,
which
is
(
as
all
other
single
vertues
are
)
but
the
colour
of
the
substanciall
body
of
vertue
,
which
when
cast-vpon
another
substaunce
is
not
vertue
,
though
like
vertue
.
These
hold
that
fortitude
hath
runne
her
perfectest
course
when
shee
hath
passed
the
gates
of
death
,
no
:
fortitude
indures
stronger
assaults
then
death
.
But
were
it
so
:
Is
he
that
comes
neare
death
valiaunt
?
why
then
,
hang
Tropheys
ouer
the
gallowes
;
the
cause
,
the
cause
must
in
all
things
tell
whose
child
the
effect
is
.
He
that
fights
with
fury
is
not
valiant
,
but
he
that
lendes
iustice
force
.
Cato
dyed
in
as
fit
a
time
to
make
his
death
looke
nobly
as
could
be
,
and
at
the
fittest
course
of
naturall
reason
,
it
will
seeme
good
reason
,
not
to
out
liue
his
countries
liberty
:
but
had
it
not
beene
more
compassionately
done
of
him
,
to
haue
accompanied
his
country
in
misery
?
had
it
not
beene
more
wisely
done
to
haue
repriued
hope
,
and
to
haue
watch'd
time
,
when
happily
by
opportunity
hee
might
haue
ransomed
his
country
?
I
account
not
his
valour
,
no
more
then
he
that
winkes
at
the
blow
of
death
,
the
one
hiding
his
eyes
because
he
would
not
see
death
,
the
other
seeking
death
because
he
would
not
feele
misery
.
Cato
is
not
held
by
mee
a
paterne
of
fortitude
,
hee
helped
not
his
country
by
his
death
:
if
to
dare
dye
you
thinke
so
excellent
,
the
women
among
the
Romans
could
doe
it
aswell
as
he
:
because
it
is
prohibited
,
we
like
it
,
because
contrary
to
our
selfe-louing
mindes
we
admire
it
,
&
in
that
respect
,
(
were
it
not
against
diuinity
)
I
should
allowe
of
it
;
for
he
comes
nerest
vertue
that
throwes
against
the
bias
of
his
affections
Camillus
(
whom
I
once
mentioned
)
was
a
patterne
of
fortitude
:
so
was
among
the
Graecians
Pelopidas
and
his
companions
,
who
plotted
,
and
effected
the
ouerthrow
of
tiranny
with
the
aduenture
of
their
liues
,
yet
killed
not
themselues
because
their
country
was
oppressed
by
a
tirant
.
Fortitude
,
(
take
her
in
her
vttermost
boundes
)
incircleth
the
ouercomming
Passions
the
bearing
the
assaults
of
the
world
,
she
goeth
euen
into
the
confines
of
temperaunce
,
for
to
curbe
appetite
,
mee
thinkes
,
is
fortitude
:
but
bind
her
now
to
her
managing
peril
,
and
to
the
seruing
her
common
wealth
,
to
make
her
herselfe
,
there
must
be
in
her
pretence
,
reason
,
profit
,
and
iustice
.
Reason
in
the
plotting
,
profit
in
the
obtaining
,
iustice
in
the
vse
:
for
without
these
,
it
is
a
bestiall
daring
,
not
fortitude
.
Now
to
my
comparison
of
the
valour
of
those
times
with
this
of
Christianity
:
can
his
reason
be
so
exact
,
that
knowes
not
from
whence
his
reason
comes
(
for
their
wisest
did
but
gesse
at
the
immortality
of
the
soule
)
as
his
that
doth
continually
conuerse
with
his
soule
?
for
so
ought
Christians
.
Or
shall
his
profit
,
that
lookes
no
farther
then
the
body
,
bee
compared
to
him
that
profits
both
soule
,
and
body
?
Bud
for
iustice
,
what
vnderderstanding
wil
prefer
humane
lawes
(
whose
end
is
but
proffit
)
to
diuine
iustice
,
whose
end
is
vertue
?
who
seeth
not
now
(
that
will
see
)
times
past
had
not
the
way
of
fortitude
?
for
their
best
were
but
shaddowes
:
neither
had
they
that
cause
,
for
fortitude
at
that
time
was
not
known
.
They
durst
die
,
but
wee
know
how
to
vse
death
:
they
durst
aduenture
but
we
know
how
to
profit
by
aduenturing
:
then
it
is
Idlenes
,
that
hath
founded
this
opinion
,
for
if
we
wil
do
wel
,
none
euer
knew
better
how
,
neuer
had
any
better
cause
,
for
we
are
certaine
of
our
reward
.
Of
the
repinings
,
&
vpbraidings
of
a
man
reiected
by
his
countrie
,
I
should
speake
a
little
more
:
how
contrary
it
is
to
right
,
and
vertue
,
for
thy
body
is
thy
countries
,
and
thy
soule
ought
to
follow
vertue
:
dooth
thy
soule
consent
to
thy
bodies
rebellious
thoughtes
?
both
body
and
soule
forsake
right
,
and
vertue
,
for
thy
soule
maintaines
wrong
,
&
so
looseth
vertue
,
thy
body
doth
wrong
,
and
so
looseth
right
.
In
this
,
both
the
Graecian
,
and
Romane
common
wealthes
brought
forth
many
more
faithull
,
the
repetition
of
whome
,
those
eyes
that
haue
seene
historye
,
can
as
redily
produce
as
I
,
whom
I
will
therefore
omit
,
and
saue
that
labour
.
Onely
thus
:
to
vpbraide
our
country
with
our
good
desertes
,
is
to
aske
reward
at
the
worldes
handes
,
not
at
vertues
:
out
all
,
is
not
all
:
wee
are
bound
to
doe
for
it
:
but
our
best
shall
be
called
well
,
because
our
vttermost
.
Not
to
professe
much
,
but
to
vse
it
well
is
the
way
of
felicitie
,
and
then
doth
our
body
not
hurt
our
soule
,
when
it
is
content
to
imploy
his
force
to
blowe
the
fire
,
while
shee
is
extracting
the
quintessence
of
things
.
For
the
lighter
performaunce
of
men
,
how
drunkenly
,
doth
vanity
make
euery
thing
that
comes
from
them
,
looke
?
one
gildes
himselfe
with
hauing
much
,
lookes
big
,
doubtes
not
of
himselfe
,
speakes
peremptorily
,
when
asked
for
his
warrant
,
he
throwes
out
the
big-swolne
wordes
,
of
a
1000
pound
a
yeare
:
not
from
his
wit
,
but
reuenew
drawes
he
the
strength
of
his
ability
,
it
is
seene
,
&
allowed
by
custome
(
to
the
terrour
of
wisdome
)
that
from
that
1000
pound
a
yeare
are
fetch'd
all
vertues
,
he
shall
bee
honest
,
temperate
,
wise
,
valiant
;
learned
,
for
he
hath
a
thousand
pound
a
yeare
:
who
seeth
not
here
a
conspiracie
betweene
ignorance
,
and
adulation
to
confound
knowledge
,
and
vertue
?
for
neuer
was
there
yet
so
vnchast
and
poore
a
vertue
,
as
to
be
corrupted
by
earth
?
Did
they
know
rather
how
much
vertue
hates
the
borrowing
the
gay
clothes
of
riches
,
and
withall
how
feeble
,
and
worthlesse
creatures
they
are
,
that
painte
themselues
with
these
outward
things
,
certainely
they
would
change
their
vanitye
into
desperation
.
These
haue
a
soule
in
which
restes
so
many
graces
as
passeth
the
deciphering
of
man
,
yet
these
not
knowing
their
soule
,
liue
,
fetching
contentment
from
the
grosse
pouerty
of
earth
:
how
is
hee
faine
to
borrowe
company
?
to
tune
that
company
to
his
ignorance
?
to
warne
them
from
speaking
wiselye
?
for
his
mother
tongue
hee
vnderstands
not
,
if
imployed
in
anye
graue
subiect
.
In
the
midst
of
these
,
what
doth
he
but
feede
vpon
himselfe
?
for
he
loues
life
,
and
yet
weares
out
Time
,
the
stuffe
that
life
is
made
of
.
But
wantes
hee
Company
?
or
doth
it
raine
?
or
are
not
sportes
ready
?
he
gapes
,
hee
rumbles
,
he
cryes
out
of
solitarines
,
he
sympathizeth
with
the
raine
,
&
lotheth
his
life
.
Who
not
guiltye
,
and
at
this
●ight
doth
not
laugh
to
goe
with
the
weather
?
surely
had
the
Romanes
had
any
of
this
kinde
,
they
would
haue
cooped
them
vp
among
their
Birdes
vsed
for
Augurie
.
There
are
in
man
yet
many
things
that
might
be
made
vertues
,
for
his
glimmering
is
a
kin
to
the
sight
of
our
first
father
before
his
fall
:
The
breath
that
was
once
breathed
into
him
(
though
corrupted
)
yet
is
not
wholye
taken
away
:
except
vanitie
still
makes
vs
fall
,
wee
may
yet
rise
to
diuine
heigth
:
to
defend
which
poison
,
contemplation
and
studie
are
excellent
Antidotes
:
for
I
thinke
with
Plato
,
that
learning
is
to
the
soule
but
Recordutio
:
for
by
learning
we
may
recouer
parte
of
the
knowledge
,
which
our
first
father
lost
,
though
no
more
neere
that
perfection
,
then
our
vertue
is
noare
his
first
goodnesse
.
I
haue
done
writing
of
vanitie
,
I
would
I
could
haue
done
with
her
in
all
kinde
of
thinges
●
but
wishes
are
the
shaftes
of
Vanity
.
Reader

if
thou

I

too
long

for

be

thou

Of

Let

and
resemble
our

to
a
common
Plaiers
;
who
gets
his
part
by
hart
without
the
knowledge
of
his
heart
,
speaking
not
vnderstanding
.
Who
beleeues
me
not
,
let
him
beholde
my
subiect
,
whose
sight
bleared
with
folly
,
neuer
sawe
,
nor
euer
shall
see
the
light
of
knowledge
.
Alas
mans
glory
is
vaine-glory
:
what
more
ougly
,
and
absurde
portraiture
can
the
thoughts
&
toung
(
which
are
the
colours
and
pensill
of
man
)
decipher
?
for
this
flatters
pouertie
,
and
calles
it
ritch
:
wrinckles
,
and
deformities
,
beautifull
,
and
well
formed
:
ignorance
knowledge
:
Blacke
,
white
:
the
names
of
all
,
these
good
,
shee
attributeth
to
himselfe
,
when
if
drawne
to
the
life
,
she
is
poore
,
wrinckled
,
deformed
,
ignorant
,
and
black
.
O
double
vnhappinesse
:
not
to
be
able
to
helpe
it
with
knowing
it
:
ô
vnrecouerable
disease
,
that
is
without
feeling
the
disease
.
The
best
doth
best
,
when
he
accuseth
his
owne
vnworthinesse
,
like
Caesars
souldiour
,
whose
valour
beeing
such
as
to
be
commended
by
Caesar
,
yet
asked
pardon
,
&
wept
for
the
losse
of
some
one
souldierly
habilement
:
he
sawe
himselfe
truely
,
and
tooke
knowledge
of
his
faulte
without
partiallity
.
Euen
the
best
part
of
man
receiues
life
from
the
affections
of
man
,
which
like
affections
do
not
alwayes
see
directly
but
came
often
with
an
vndirected
vehemency
.
Mans
valour
is
first
a
daring
,
afterwardes
experience
,
and
reason
refines
it
,
and
makes
it
valour
.
It
is
not
valour
at
the
first
;
for
we
haue
no
vertue
originally
pure
,
and
vncorrupt
.
Reason
at
the
first
is
but
sence
,
and
sence
afterwardes
makes
reason
:
for
our
knowledge
here
is
earthly
,
what
aboue
earth
,
wee
comprehend
by
faith
,
or
supposition
.
How
then
do
we
runne
by
errour
to
knowledge
?
so
that
our
Audit
vnpartially
reckned
,
he
that
doth
best
did
ill
before
he
did
better
,
and
hath
the
History
of
the
life
stuffed
with
as
many
imputations
as
actions
well
ended
,
who
now
deliberating
will
either
obscurely
force
commendations
from
his
companions
,
or
more
impudently
made
will
crowne
himselfe
with
,
desertes
,
since
reckening
with
himselfe
,
except
pa●ed
by
flattery
hee
shall
finde
himselfe
indebted
to
his
country
,
and
to
nature
?
I
neede
not
mention
the
Author
of
his
countrey
,
and
nature
,
since
these
more
feeble
and
morrall
considerations
will
ouerthrow
him
.
Yet
nothing
is
more
common
,
and
in
fashion
with
the
worlde
,
then
either
to
draw
modesty
to
betray
,
herselfe
to
flattery
,
or
if
not
vnderstood
,
to
make
themselues
musicke
with
beeng
the
trumpet
of
their
owne
commendations
.
How
haue
my
eares
persecuted
my
whole
body
with
dispersing
the
tedious
relations
of
these
creatures
?
How
haue
I
heard
some
braggarts
not
souldiers
,
discoursing
their
perils
,
ingrose
the
actions
of
whole
armies
all
to
themselues
?
None
haue
beene
mentioned
but
themselues
they
were
generall
&
souldiers
plotter
and
executor
,
it
hath
ended
with
their
woundes
,
their
victories
.
What
could
chaunce
to
discreet●
a●●
more
oftensiue
?
not
Ribauldry
to
I
●
Virgine
.
Thus
in
all
liues
,
and
in
the
best
most
common
:
thus
States-men
,
imployment
,
Lawyers
,
Clients
,
Schollers
inuincible
in
arguing
,
profound
in
knowledge
:
how
haue
mechanicke
trades
robde
these
noble
professions
?
they
say
,
iudge
of
mee
by
my
worke
,
so
should
these
say
by
their
actions
:
True
worthinesse
hauing
heard
these
fellowes
with
the
large
particulars
,
would
ende
with
the
Athenian
Architect
,
I
can
doe
what
these
haue
saide
:
thus
dooth
true
Vertue
,
acting
matters
for
Chronicles
,
not
recording
her
owne
Actions
.
Let
vs
thinke
then
of
vaine-glorye
as
it
deserueth
,
and
not
of
the
name
but
nature
,
not
with
a
disallowance
in
generall
,
but
particularly
applying
it
,
disallowe
so
much
of
our selfe
as
is
infected
with
it
.
I
will
begin
,
whose
name
beeing
lately
diuulged
may
be
suspected
of
the
sicknesse
:
I
disauowe
it
,
and
that
I
am
so
,
I
protest
by
the
Genius
of
Contemplation
,
was
contrarie
to
my
intendiment
:
but
I
durst
not
then
suppresse
it
,
Nam
spreta
exolescunt
,
nor
now
say
more
,
for
feare
my
vse
of
modestie
,
may
be
thought
the
abuse
:
yet
thus
much
more
,
to
whose
hands
so
euer
these
come
,
let
them
charitablye
beleeue
,
I
desire
more
to
doe
my
countrye
good
,
then
to
bee
paide
for
it
,
for
I
haue
my
hyre
from
another
place
.
I
meane
well
,
and
speake
honestly
,
and
I
will
bee
as
carefull
to
liue
well
,
for
;
Dicentis
Inducunt
mores
non
dicta
.
But
to
leaue
this
by
arrand
:
necessitie
may
inforce
vs
to
speake
like
vaine-glorie
,
but
that
it
is
necessitie
cleares
vs
.
Suspicion
of
a
crime
allowes
vs
to
showe
our
innocencie
,
when
wronged
by
our
Ingratefull
Countrie
,
it
is
lawfull
to
goe
with
Themistocles
,
Quid
o
beati
tumultu●mini
?
saepe
numero
ab
risdem
beneficia
accipientes
,
et
tempestate
quadem
pressi
,
sub

tutelam
tamquam
sub
arborem
fugi
is
,
facta

,
sub
ducitis
vos
illosque
vellitis
.
I
thinke
he
did
not
this
more
for
his
owne
sake
then
for
theirs
,
hee
made
them
a
glasse
to
behold
their
inconstant
follies
in
:
It
was
well
done
,
softnesse
in
these
cases
nourisheth
vices
,
and
giues
the
giddie
multitude
winges
insteed
of
legges
to
flye
to
mutinies
and
dissentions
.
When
a
place
of
authoritie
giues
vs
authoritie
,
and
trueth
allowes
vs
to
speake
well
of
ourselues
,
it
is
lawfull
to
make
the
subiectes
of
our
gouernement
confident
of
our
vertue
like
Nestor
.
Quippe
viris
ego
cum
longè

.
Versatus
sum
,
quam

:
nee

Concilium
spreuere
meum
.
It
is
common
in
the
whetstone
of
the
souldiers
swordes
,
the
oration
of
a
generall
before
a
battaile
to
racke
their
memory
,
and
to
make
her
confesse
all
the
exploites
which
at
any
time
they
haue
done
:
It
is
common
to
tell
them
;
how
often
haue
you
beene
victorious
ouer
these
people
your
enemies
?
though
a
simple
Arithmetician
might
bring
them
within
number
.
Plutarche
avowes
it
to
be
the
manner
of
Cyrus
in
warres
,
though
in
peace
there
was
no
man
more
modest
.
The
custome
of
our
Attyres
in
those
times
seemes
to
allowe
it
,
wee
weare
glorious
colours
,
and
our
heades
,
and
Horses
feathers
,
beautifying
this
bloody
occupation
,
and
giuing
the
eye
leaue
to
Iudge
of
a
Iollye
magnificence
,
and
courage
.
I
like
Ansigonus
well
,
whoe
in
a
sea
battaile
being
aduertised
that
his
aduersaries
exceeded
him
in
number
of
Gallies
,
he
asked
the
reporter
,
against
how
many
he
reckened
him
:
It
was
brauely
said
,
and
illustrated
a
bold
spirite
,
it
was
no
matter
though
it
wanted
modestie
,
she
fittes
more
ciuill
,
and
and
more
silent
actions
.
Thus
did
Vlisses
in
courage
the
fainting
spirites
of
his
companions
.
O
socii
,
Iguari

Porro

quam
quod

Gonsaluo
the
braue
purchaser
of
the
kingdome
of
Naples
to
the
crowne
of
Aragon
spake
brauely
in
a
time
of
daunger
.
Desider

.
He
did
wel
at
that
time
to
cleare
himselfe
from
the
suspition
of
feare
which
commonly
attendes
daunger
,
and
to
his
souldiers
he
gaue
new
life
,
for
their
heads
being
vnable
to
iudge
,
they
are
directed
by
their
eyes
whom
they
send
to
discouer
the
behauiour
of
their
commaunder
,
which
from
thence
come
,
fraught
either
with
hope
,
or
dispaire
.
I
thinke
it
was
neither
enuy
,
nor
vaine
glory
,
that
made
Agesilaus
examine
whether
the
title
of
Great
,
belonged
more
to
the
king
of
Persia
,
then
to
himselfe
,
Non

me
maior
est
,
nisi

〈◊〉
:
He
was
a
Philosopher
as
well
as
a
king
,
acquainted
with
his
owne
soule
as
well
as
with
greatnesse
which
dilated
to
him
,
that
outwarde
greatnes
differed
not
from
gay
clothes
which
are
worne
out
by
time
,
and
in
that
time
subiect
to
casualty
,
but
vertue
he
saw
to
be
the
foundation
,
and
the
true
iudge
of
greatnesse
.
At
death
it
is
tollerable
,
for
then
the
best
wee
can
doe
,
is
but
to
bee
an
example
to
the
liuing
;
and
to
showe
our
best
pointes
to
the
worlde
,
and
our
worste
to
God
wrapt
in
repentance
is
honest
,
and
religious
:
that
done
,
to
showe
a
gladnesse
of
our
new
guest
,
like
Phocion
to
a
fellow
that
wept
at
his
death
.
Heus
tu
,
inquit
,
quid●dicis
?
non
amas
mori
cum
Phocione
?
or
like
the
Milanois
conspiratour
.
Mors
acerba
,
fama
perpetua
,
stabit
vetus
memoria
facti
.
It
is
a
colde
thing
this
same
Death
,
and
must
haue
some
such
warme
meditation
to
comforte
the
stomacke
of
the
minde
,
or
else
it
will
confound
,
and
distemper
the
soule
for
the
bodies
sake
.
But
in
an
high
state
,
and
a
state
of
tranquillitie
,
neither
Morall
vertue
,
nor
discreete
pollicie
allowes
it
:
not
vertue
,
which
will
tell
vs
,
wee
come
shorte
of
the
hyre
of
commendations
:
not
Pollicie
,
for
it
layes
vs
open
to
Enuie
,
and
demostrates
a
minde
ouer-burthened
with
his
Fortune
.
Not
our
actions
performed
with
wisedome
and
successe
,
may
we
chalenge
at
this
time
,
for
their
glorie
vpbraides
the
state
,
as
if
vnrecompenced
,
and
ouerdrepes
our
countrymen
,
both
aduersaries
to
potent
to
bee
dispised
,
both
losses
beyond
the
gaine
of
commendations
.
God
is
the
giuer
of
victory
,
the
performer
of
all
well
succeeding
enterprises
,
giue
it
to
him
,
to
whome
giuen
,
it
produceth
safetie
,
and
accordeth
with
truth
:
from
thence
let
vs
share
it
,
attributing
parte
to
the
direction
of
the
state
,
parte
to
the
valour
of
our
Souldiours
,
or
others
nearest
to
the
imployment
:
to
our selfe
,
allaying
praise
with
fortune
or
destinie
:
thus
it
is
safe
,
and
good
,
and
not
without
Fame
,
which
growes
by
being
suppressed
.
Of
Essayes
,
&
Bookes
I
Hould
neither
Plutarches
,
nor
none
of
these
auncient
short
manner
of
writings
,
nor
Montaignes
,
nor
such
of
this
latter
time
to
be
rightly
termed
Essayes
,
for
though
they
be
short
,
yet
they
are
strong
,
and
able
to
endure
the
sharpest
triall
:
but
mine
are
Essayes
,
who
am
but
newly
bound
Prentice
to
the
inquisition
of
knowledge
,
and
vse
these
papers
as
a
Painters
boy
a
board
,
that
is
trying
to
bring
his
hand
and
his
fancie
acquainted
.
It
is
a
manner
of
writing
well
befitting
vndigested
motions
,
or
a
head
not
knowing
his
strength
like
a
circumspect
runner
trying
for
astarte
,
or
prouidence
that
tastes
before
she
buyes
:
for
it
is
easier
to
thinke
wel
then
to
do
well
,
and
no
triall
to
haue
handsome
dapper
conceites
runne
inuisibly
in
a
braine
,
but
to
put
them
out
,
and
then
looke
vppon
them
:
If
they
proue
nothing
but
wordes
,
yet
they
breake
not
promise
with
the
world
,
for
they
say
but
an
Essay
,
like
a
Scriuenour
trying
his
Pen
before
he
ingrosseth
his
worke
,
nor
to
speake
plainely
,
are
they
more
to
blame
then
many
other
that
promise
more
,
for
the
most
that
I
haue
yet
touched
,
haue
millions
of
wordes
to
the
bringing
forth
one
reason
,
and
when
a
reason
is
gotten
,
there
is
such
borrowing
it
one
of
another
,
that
in
a
multitude
of
Bookes
,
still
that
conceit
,
or
some
issued
out
of
that
appeares
so
be
laboured
,
and
worne
,
as
in
the
ende
it
is
good
for
nothing
but
for
a
Prouerbe
.
When
I
thinke
of
the
abilities
of
man
,
I
promise
myselfe
much
out
of
my
reading
,
but
it
prooues
not
so
,
Time
goeth
,
and
I
turne
leaues
▪
yet
still
finde
my selfe
in
the
state
of
ignorance
,
wherefore
I
haue
thought
better
of
honesty
,
then
of
knowledge
,
what
I
may
knowe
I
will
conuerte
to
that
vse
,
and
what
I
write
,
I
meane
so
,
for
I
will
choose
rather
to
be
an
honest
man
then
a
good
Logitian
.
There
was
neuer
art
yet
that
layd
so
fast
hold
on
me
,
that
she
might
iustly
call
mee
her
seruant
.
I
neuer
knew
them
but
superficially
,
nor
indeed
will
not
though
I
might
,
for
they
swallow
their
subiect
,
and
make
him
as
Ouid
saied
of
him selfe
.
Quicquid
c●nabar
dicere
versus
erat
.
I
would
earne
none
of
these
so
dearely
,
as
to
tye
vp
the
minde
to
thinke
onely
of
one
thing
,
her
best
power
by
this
meanes
is
taken
from
her
,
for
so
her
circuit
is
limited
to
a
distaunce
,
which
shoulde
walke
vniuersallye
.
Moreouer
there
growes
pride
,
and
a
selfe
opinion
out
of
this
,
which
deuoures
wisedome
.
Marke
but
a
Grammarian
,
whose
occupation
well
examined
is
but
a
single-soled
trade
,
for
his
subiect
is
but
wordes
,
and
yet
his
construction
is
of
great
matters
resting
in
himselfe
.
Socrates
was
the
wisest
man
of
his
time
,
and
his
ground
for
that
,
was
his
turning
all
his
acquired
knowledge
into
morality
:
of
whome
one
said
,
hee
fetched
Philosophy
from
heauen
,
&
placed
her
in
Citties
.
Plato
laughes
at
those
commonwealthes
men
,
that
intend
onely
the
inlarging
,
and
inriching
of
their
countreyes
,
and
in
the
meane
time
they
suffer
the
inioyers
of
their
labours
to
be
vicious
,
and
dishonest
:
euen
so
of
these
thirsters
after
knowledge
,
for
hath
he
all
that
men
possibly
may
haue
,
and
then
inclose
it
in
the
chest
of
a
dishonest
brest
,
it
but
corruptes
him
,
and
makes
the
poyson
of
his
viciousnes
more
forcible
.
Non

I
liue
not
to
illustrate
the
excellency
of
any
art
,
but
to
vse
artes
as
Bridles
,
to
reare
vppe
the
head-strong
wilfulnesse
of
my
naturall
corruption
.
Thus
I
see
all
things
,
and
take
example
as
well
by
a
vicious
prodigall
fellowe
,
as
by
one
vpon
the
gallowes
,
and
desire
his
part
no
more
that
is
able
,
and
doth
nourish
excesse
,
then
I
do
the
others
,
and
if
I
would
beleeue
Plato
,
he
holdes
this
state
the
better
,
for
the
one
is
now
surfetting
,
the
other
taking
Phisicke
.
I
haue
heard
of
the
effects
of
great
reading
,
ioyned
to
an
vnderstanding
able
to
digest
,
and
carrie
it
,
of
high
acting
spirits
,
whose
ambitions
haue
beene
fed
by
Fortune
and
power
:
these
make
a
great
noise
in
the
eares
of
men
,
and
like
a
swaggerer
seeme
to
drowne
more
humble
spirites
:
but
equally
examined
,
the
giftes
of
morallity
are
more
excellent
,
and
vertuous
.
When
Alexander
thirstinge
threwe
the
water
offered
him
vpon
the
ground
,
and
would
not
adde
to
the
thirst
of
his
companions
with
his
owne
priuate
affections
,
he
did
much
more
noblye
then
in
winning
all
his
victories
:
for
those
rightly
determined
take
away
maruaile
,
and
admiration
,
for
they
were
for
his
owne
sake
:
but
here
,
compassion
,
regard
of
others
,
and
temperance
,
pleade
for
an
eternall
applause
;
this
was
moralitie
,
and
the
inwarde
discourse
of
an
honest
minde
,
this
was
no
bloodshed
,
nor
blowes
,
but
the
preseruation
of
his
friends
:
here
blood
spotted
not
his
name
,
but
puritie
so
imbellished
it
,
that
no
eye
louing
vertue
can
see
this
peece
without
due
praising
it
.
Non
of
these
searchers
into
the
driftes
of
na●●e
can
I
thinke
so
well
,
as
of
a
minde
obseruing
his
affections
,
moderating
or
spurring
his
will
,
as
it
flyeth
,
or
straiteth
from
the
right
way
of
vertue
.
Thus
do
I
thinke
of
Seneca
,
and
Aristotle
,
the
first
's
moralitie
it
s
easily
to
bee
vnderstood
,
and
easily
digested
to
the
nourishment
of
vertue
;
the
others
more
high
,
and
to
the
readers
more
questionable
,
whether
it
will
make
him
curious
,
or
honest
.
Xenophon
though
his
Cyrus
bee
so
good
,
as
plainely
showeth
it
a
life
,
rather
imagined
,
then
acted
,
yet
hee
so
plainely
discouereth
the
waye
of
vertue
,
as
the
easiest
vnderstanding
●●nnot
goe
astraye
,
nor
the
worste
abuse
him
with
interpretation
I
holde
these
much
more
safe
,
then
those
workes
which
stande
vpon
Allegories
,
for
euery
head
hath
not
fire
enough
to
distill
them
,
nor
euery
vnderstanding
patience
enough
to
finde
out
the
good
meaning
:
and
many
are
so
ill
,
as
when
they
haue
found
out
an
interpretation
meete
to
nourishe
their
sensualitie
,
they
staye
there
,
and
are
the
worse
for
their
reading
.
Thus
offend
,
most
Poets
,
who
landing
their
writings
with
fictions
,
feede
the
ignorant
and
vicious
with
as
much
poison
as
preseruatiue
.
This
one
of
them
confesseth
speaking
to
his
Muse.

Though

the

of

conceites
,
which
willinglye
admit
nothing
that
represents
not

and

yet
should
it
be
farre
from
the
grauitie
of
a
writer
,
●o
runne
with
the
streames
of
vnbrideled
affections
.
He
should
ranke
with
the
Constitutours
of

:
Lawe-makers
,
and
wise
Authors
,
ought
to
intend
both
one
thing
,
they
no
waye
differ
,
but
that
onely
these
last
compell
not
,
but
intreate
their
Country-men
to
bee
vertuous

But
should
a
Lawe-maker
insteade
of
punishing
malefactors
widen
his
lawes
,
&
make
them
soft
vppon
the
complaines
of
men
,
no

mankinde
would

and
this
world
by

made
beautifull
,
by
being

would
become
a
spectacle
of

and
desolation
.
Though

a

Among

fit

the

for
vpon

haue
little

▪
as
in
the
life
of
Sylla
,
and
many
others
of
all
times
.
A
truelie

must
meditate
of
this
euen
at
his
entering
into
this

,
so
shall
it
be
no

drowne

perso●nied
actions
with

In

he
draweth
the

and
that

passeth

So
is
Virgils
Aeneiads
a
booke
meete
for
a
Prince
,
and
his
neerest
instruments
:
for
it
being
agreed
by
the
most
iudiciall
censures
,
that
in
matters
of
state
many
things
fall
out
both
beyond
expectation
and
naturall
reason
,
which
wee
therefore
call
the
Actes
of
Fortune
:
he
saith
,
—
Superanda
omnis
Fortuna
ferendo
est
.
For
Pacience
keepeth
the
reputation
vnspotted
;
though
outward
forces
be
destroyed
,
this
makes
the
minde
inuincible
,
which
not
onely
giues
gr●ces
and
preseruation
ro
the
best
par●●●
of
man
,
but
inforceth
more
commiseration
from
the
victour
,
then
basenesse
,
in●reatie
,
and
supplications
,
which
AE●●bus
the
vtter
ruine
of
the
Macedo●
glory
explained
,
when
P●rseus
the
last
of
their
kings
beeing
vanquished
,
prostrated
himself●
at
his
feete
,
from
which
sight
he
turned
his
eyes
,
and
called
him
the
robber
of
his
glory
,
for
his
power
,
and
name
,
made
his
victorie
glorious
,
which
the
vilenesse
of
his
person
brought
backe
to
contempt
,
as
if
he
had
ouercome
a
boye
,
or
a
woman
,
the
poorenesse
of
whose
strength
makes
teares
and
supplications
readier
then
resistance
.
At
what
time
England
remained
vnpolished
and
vnmanured
by
the
sweetenesse
of
letters
,
there
was
sound
one
Car●cta●us
,
whose
name
Tacitus
celebrates
with
as
great
praises
,
as
if
a
Romaine
,
and
a
conquerour
,
which
last
I
name
as
the
spurre
of
commendations
,
for
more
faintely
doe
all
men
,
as
well
as
Historyographers
mention
the
vanquished
their
Conqueror
:
for
many
ac●ions
are
brought
forth
by
the
haste
of
occasion
,
to
whome
a
long
discourse
is
not
Midwife
,
yet
done
,
the
worlde
maketh
some
one
access●rie
of
many
plottes
,
which
hee
neuer
thought
of
,
and
another
guilty
of
imputations
,
because
ouercome
.
But
Caractatus
betrayed
,
and
brought
in
triumph
to
Rome
,
was
neither
deiected
with
thinking
of
his
captiuity
,
nor
amazed
at
the
Romans
splendour
,
but
then
taught
Claudius
how
it
became
him
to
vse
his
fortune
,
and
in
spight
of
fortune
with
the
●agnanimity
of
his
own
minde
made
the
action
of
those
times
confesse
,
that
C●sar
dum
suum
decus
extollit
addidit
gloriam
victo
.
How
slowly
and
vnwillingly
praises
are
bestowed
vpon
the
vanquished
,
Tacitus
Relates
speaking
of
a
king
of
Sueuia

Digressus

Hee
fought
valiantly
,
and
receiued
wounds
,
but
was
not
valiant
because
fortune
gaue
him
not
the
victory
.
In
another
Virgill
teacheth
that
no
noble
mindes
are
fearefull
,
Degeneres
Animos
Timor
arguit
—
Who
ought
better
to
thinke
of
this
then
a
statesman
,
the
heigth
of
whose
actions
brings
him
to
handle
thinges
to
an
vnprepared
minde
daungerous
,
&
fearefull
,
to
eschew
which
he
bindes
him
in
a
strong
band
,
he
fortels
his
honour
,
which
is
the
most
precious
iewel
of
greatnesse
,
without
which
he
becomes
as
vnprofitable
as
a
Bee
without
a
sting
,
for
whatsoeuer
he
is
,
be
he
neuer
so
great
,
or
good
,
yet
,
magis

quam

the
reputation
of
a

the

of
a

,
and
the
modesty
of
a

preuailing
more

then
their

In
another

How
feeble
the

euery

of
the

is
then
plotting
how
to
recouer

not
how
to
desire
pardon
:
he
lookes
vpon
his
prefent
state
,
not
with
teares
,
but
vpon
it
,
because
vpon
that
ground-worke
he
must
build
the
course
of
his
freedome
as
he
saith
afterward
.
Tu

Howsoeuer
that
Scithian
fellow
esteemed
musicke
basely
by
preferring
the
neighing
of
horses
before
it
,
yet
no
question
both
musick
,
and
letters
,
&
especially
verses
,
which
participate
both
with
musick
&
letters
,
is
a
braue
raiser
of
the
spirits
:
&
I
thinke
armes
disable
not
themselues
with
taking
assistance
from
Poesie
,
for
doubtles
it
makes
valour
beautifull
,
&
well
becomming
,
for
taking
away
part
of
his
fiearcenesse
,
and
adding
insteed
therof
reason
,
makes
it
true
fortitude
.
Of
Poets
for
this
purpose
some
learned
,
talke
much
of
Homer
,
but
though
they
are
learned
,
yet
I
dare
not
speake
of
him
,
because
as
neere
as
I
can
,
I
wil
not
build
vpon
others
.
Of
those
whom
I
vnderstand
,
Lucan
,
&
Tasso
,
the
one
of
which
is
auncient
,
&
the
other
as
worthy
if
seasoned
by
so
much
time
,
but
I
will
not
chide
the
world
for
that
,
for
the
reuerencing
of
age
,
&
times
past
moderately
is
a
good
fault
of
a
good
nature
.
But
this
life
of
armes
which
custom
hath
taught
to
put
on
a
gallant
iollines
in
his
outward
behauiour
,
therby
to
show
danger
&
distresse
,
cannot
in
their
course
mourne
,
or
be
feareful
,
giuing
leaue
to
the
minde
in
these
outward
semblances
to
play
the
braggart
,
&
lay
open
what
she
thinks
of
her
owne
resolution
,
which
fashion
of
a
souldier
bindes
him
to
entertaine
all
fortunes
alike
.
For
the
high
words
&
big
lookes
that
vse
hath
made
tolerable
in
this
life
,
would
adde
deformity
to
his
yeelding
teares
or
complaints
,
but
especially
here
.
—
Crescit

—
There
's
the
alteration
which
the
frownes
of
fortune
should
breede
in
him
,
beeing
rather
an
Alarum
for
the
summoning
of
his
spirites
,
then
a
terrour
driuing
them
awaye
,
which
power
,
Nature
hath
giuen
to
the
Elements
by
instinct
,
but
a
more
excellent
power
hath
she
giuen
to
man
,
namely
reason
,
with
which
if
hee
dooth
not
more
then
those
more
meanly
indowed
,
it
is
his
fault
,
not
Natures
,
for
in
reason
and
discourse
,
the
abilities
of
man
,
there
is
more
then
an
Antipaerist
aticall
vertue
.
—

So
feare
ought
euery
way
to
be
remote
from
the
life
of
a
Souldier
,
for
neither
is
it
handsome
,
nor
safe
,
so
stupifying
his
vnderstanding
,
that
neither
the
danger
,
his
honour
,
his
countrie
,
or
his
life
is
in
,
are
either
defended
or
regarded
.
But
this
banished
makes
not
valour
but
furie
,
for
Iustice
must
bee
matched
with
daring
,
or
else
it
is
not
Fortitude
;
the
cause
must
reconcile
the
effect
to
vpright
truth
,
or
else
;
Heu

Were
guiltinesse
remooued
from
punishment
,
yet
to
wrest
the
vnderstanding
against
Iustice
,
is
full
of
terrour
,
the
conscience
being
an
inseperable
companion
,
which
neither
corruption
nor
feare
can
make
silent
.
In
no
course
is
it
more
behoouefull
then
in
the
life
of
a
souldiour
,
for
armes
taketh
vpon
it
to
correct
the
disorder
of
peace
;
It
is
the
Phisitian
of
a
state
,
the
Iusticer
of
a

,
the
Diuine
of
a

,
for
his
inforcement
is
the
Phisicke
,
the
execution
,
the
counsaile
administred
to
those
obstinacies
vntractable
,
but
by
computation
.
Tasso
doth
also
yeelde
many
plentifull
rules
leading
to

after
that

.

Cowards
feele

the

for
that
concluder
of

is
no
more
cruel
to

then
to

the
difference
rests
onely
in

opinions
,
as
it
is
in
many
other
things
of
this
world
.
What
by
some
imaginations
are
called
iewels
,
are
by
others
determined
trifles
:
as
these
outward
things
,
so
the
choosers
of
these
the
affections
,
are
according
to
their
possessor
:
for
a
cowards
feare
,
is
in
a
wise
man
prouidence
;
lauish
ioy
,
solid
contentment
:
appetite
made
choise
,
wishes
intentes
,
making
hope
fruition
.
Thus
certaine
doth
wisdomes
resolution
performe
his
iourney
without
halting
,
tiring
,
or
straying
.
E

morir

No
doubt
but
to
a
minde
that
can
inwardly
relate
a
well-runne
course
,
it
cannot
but
be
ioy
to
be
taken
vp
,
for
with
glory
he
ends
,
and
remaining
longer
he
could
not
end
better
,
therefore
longer
life
could
haue
beene
but
superfluous
,
perhaps
dangerous
:
for
many
yeares
well
followed
haue
doted
before
their
ends
,
and
so
corrupted
their
worke
fairely
begun
.
E

In
this
shield
I
holde
the
preseruation
of
honour
,
care
of
his
countrie
,
an
honest
life
,
for
detraction
cannot
be
kept
out
without
such
a
triple-leaued
shield
:
but
this
shield
imbraced
,
enuie
it selfe
cannot
wound
,
but
death
appeares
like
a
gratefull
maister
releasing
his
seruant
from
trauell

E

So
lazie
,
and
fluggish
are
our
naturall
inclinations
,
that
I
wish
these
verses
the
perpetuall
obiect
of
my
eyes
,
&
if
I
should
wish
all
men
the
same
medicine
being
sick
of
the
same
disease
,
I
should
do
them
no
harme
.
Who
thinks
of
the
infinite
capacity
of
man
,
of
his
admirable
inuention
,
of
his
immortalizing
the
whole
volume
of
abstract
,
&
most
formes
:
of
the
fertilenesse
of
his
braine
,
where
things
are
continually
in
conceiuing
,
and
bringing
forth
new
,
and
they
new
,
I
cannot
thinke
of
any
thing
which
hee
hath
done
that
might
not
be
excelled
,
considering
his
abilities
,
his
workes
are
meane
and
slight
,
and
their
perfections
so
imperfect
,
as
they
are
not
worthy
to
bee
called
the
children
of
his
loynes
.
E
tempo
ben
—
It
is
time
,
so
soone
as
our
breathing
hath
set
a
scotch
vpon
Time
:
what
can
I
speake
of
this
time
,
but
as
of
the
light
giuen
vs
to
liue
by
,
which
who
spendeth
idlely
,
or
(
as
ill
)
luxuriouslic
,
is
worthy
to
go
to
bed
darkling
,
which
is
,
to
die
without
being
able
to
produce
any
matter
worthy
of
his
life
,
which
vacuitie
of
vertue
at
that
time
will
breede
more
terrour
to
him
,
then
darknesse
to
children
.
It
is
time
to
do
that
we
came
for
;
for
those
imployed
to
be
vigilant
,
to
the
flourishing
of
their
country
:
to
those
priuate
to
be
an
example
to
others
,
and
safety
▪
to
themselues
,
in
taking
the
direct
way
of
right
—
che
qualche
nobil
opra
.
I
am
not
so
precise
to
call
no
Actions
noble
,
that
carty
not
with
them
a
rumour
,
or
a
glittering
:
to
my
meaning
nobility
and
honesty
meane
all
one
,
&
thus
may
a
painfull
Artisan
be
noble
,
if
he
follow
his
vocation
painefully
and
constantly
,
he
is
honest
,
and
so
noble
,
being
a
Iimmer
of
a
state
,
though
no
maine
Organ
,
and
his
beeing
in
right
temper
,
so
farre
as
his
strength
goeth
,
a
preseruatiue
to
the
whole
.
To
knowe
this
he
ought
to
temper
the
hotnes
of
ambition
,
for
it
is
not
the
greatnes
,
but
the
goodnesse
of
an
action
that
makes
it
worthy
,
which
who
so
knoweth
,
and
yet
prosecuteth
the
violence
of
that
humor
,
ought
to
be
cut
off
,
for
nothing
is
more
fatall
to
a
state
then
innouation
,
neither
is
there
any
thing
so
fast
drawing
to
innouation
as
ambitions
,
it
being
innouations
minority
,
like
a
pumple
the
childes
age
of
a
sore
.
De
la

virtude
homai

Here
is
the
whole
power
of
man
taught
the
right
vse
,
which
we
haue
a
common
speach
no
lesse
illustrates
when
we
call
the
quality
of
things
their
vertue
,
by
which
we
inforce
the
strength
of
each
thing
to
worke
by
the
line
of
vertue
:
to
this
center
should
all
the
diametricall
parts
of
man
tend
,
for
they
are
but
like
the
rayes
of
the
sun
,
which
borrow
their
beauty
from
the
sun
:
for
without
vertue
all
the
abilities
of
man
are
in
darknesse
,
performing
all
things
doubtfully
,
and
perniciously
:
si
scopra
.
I
do
not
thinke
there
can
be
concealed
vertues
,
for
though
I
hate
ostentation
,
yet
vertue
ayming
at
nothing
but
the
transforming
her selfe
into
goodnesse
,
and
the
excellencie
of
goodnesse
resting
in
her
communicating
power
,
vertue
is
not
come
to
her
perfection
,
vntil
come
to
the
perfection
of

Here
doth
he
showe
the
office
of
a
generall
,
whose
iudgement
,
not
bodye
,
ought
to
bee
imployed
:
Nature
hath
taught
this
to
euery
man
,
for
shee
hath
made
his
armes
to
giue
blowes
,
&
defend
,
his
head
to
teach
his
armes
,
and
to
be
sure
we
should
not
vse
it
out
of
the
right
kinde
,
shee
hath
giuen
it
neither
nimblenesse
,
nor
strength
,
but
direction
to
teach
the
other
parts
that
vse
.
More
neede
not
be
said
of
this
,
for
common
experience
makes
it
euery
mans
.
I
will
speake
now
of
no
more
Poets
,
though
there
be
more
of
vse
:
onely
thus
much
of
the
auncient
Satyrists
,
I
holde
them
not
meete
for
euery
mans
reading
,
for
they
chide
vice
,
&
show
it
both
togither
,
besides
their
darknes
,
&
personall
meanings
,
take
vp
more
time
,
than
knowne
,
they
are
worth
:
of
other
books
though
I
haue
already
commended
Plato
,
yet
speaking
of
bookes
,
I
must
againe
mention
him
for
his
commentors
sake
,
who
doth
excellently
illustrate
him
,
which
he
performes
with
as
little
delaye
,
and
as
fewe
idle
speeches
,
as
the
vnderstanding
receiues
knowledge
from
the
sight
of
things
which
deliuer
themselues
truely
and
simply
vnto
her
.
I
knowe
not
whither
I
should
speake
of
Philosophicall
bookes
more
,
since
if
the
reader
be
not
a
Phisitian
,
or
an
Herbarist
,
they
breed
in
him
curiositie
rather
then
vse●
,
for
I
account
these
words
of
Plato
,
Peritia
efficit
vt
vita
nostra
per
Artem
incedat
,
imperitia
vero
vt
per
fortunam
temere
circumuagetur
,
to
tend
rather
to
the
knowledges
pertinent
to
an
intended
life
,
then
to
her
vniuersall
body
:
for
should
a
Iudge
talke
of
the
obseruations
of
an
vrine
,
when
he
is
about
matters
of
life
and
death
,
who
would
not
determine
his
skil
vnnecessarie
and
ridiculous
,
since
his
Arte
cures
the
minde
,
Phisick
the
body
?

.
What
Bookes
,
or
art
medles
,
with
a
doctrine
remote
from
the
vse
of
life
is
a
busie
idlenesse
,
&
a
couer
of
an
vnprofitable
minde
,
like
fidlers
vndertaking
the
vse
of
an
Instrument
to
keepe
them
from
a
more
laborious
trade
.
Lesse
Astronomy
then
will
make
a
Calender
,
will
serue
my
turne
:
onely
so
much
is
sufficient
in
a
gentleman
as
seeing
the
reuolutions
of
the
heauens
,
hee
may
see
them
without
disinaidnesse
,
and
vse
his
knowledge
to
the
comfort
of
his
ignoraunt
charge
:
As
Dion
going
against
Dyonisius
the
tirant
,
an
Eclipse
hapned
,
which
astonished
the
multitude
,
but
he
conuerted
it
to
the
Eclipse
of
their
enemies
heigth
,
which
fortified
,
and
perswaded
the
feare
,
and
blindnesse
of
his
souldiours
:
the
Eclipse
(
I
thinke
)
would
haue
fallen
out
,
though
Dion
had
bin
at
home
quietly
in
his
chamber
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
this
friend
of
Plato
thought
so
to
,
but
yet
the
mindes
not
able
to
iudge
of
truethes
,
must
be
held
with
the
exposition
of
these
caelestiall
apparences
,
and
be
perswaded
that
the
heaueus
worke
thus
,
onely
to
incourage
,
and
harten
them
on
.
For
that
coupler
,
and
combiner
of
wordes
Grammer
,
to
be
much
longer
then
it
is
in
the
armes
of
our
nurse
,
is
naught
.
I
acount
it
a
pittifull
sight
to
see
a
fellow
at
sixty
yeare
olde
,
learning
to
speake
:
to
know
the
names
of
things
without
the
things
is
vnprofitable
,
as
a
power
to
repeate
the
alphabet
by
a
fellow
altogether
illiterate
.
I
like
well
to
speake
,
rather
then
to
make
signes
,
and
to
be
carefull
of
ioyning
the
nomminatiue
case
to
the
verbe
,
as
my
seruants
or
friends
may
vnderstand
what
I
would
,
but
to
be
Prentice
to
Tonus
and
Sonus
for
a
life
time
,
is
a
needlesse
as
to
make
new
clothes
when
one
lies
a
dying
,
for
words
are
but
clothes
,
matters
substance
.
Rethorickes
Cookery
,
is
the
vomit
of
a
pedant
,
which
to
make
saleable
he
imitated
the
Dyer
,
whose
fat
working
ill
,
hee
makes
a
mendes
by
giuing
those
ill
cullours
new
names
:
so
this
venting
his
infinity
of
words
with
calling
it
eloquence
,
and
fortifying
eloquence
with
methodicall
diuisions
.
Rhetorica
suadet
,
non

:
Is
she
could
perswade
what
were
worthy
to
be
taught
,
and
bring
that
worthy
with
her
,
it
were
better
:
but
the
slipery
glibnes
of
the
tonge
giueth
such
a
facility
,
to
speake
,
as
commonly
it
runnes
without
reason
,
&
so
is
as
fruiteles
as
a
messenger
without
an
arrand
.
I
might
say
of
those
remaining
,
that
they
hold
more
conclusions
then
are
needfull
for
euery
man
,
but
I
wil
go
no
farther
than
this
tast
.
Againe
of
books
,
morality
hath
very
ill
luck
now
a
daies
,
for
many
haue
medled
with
her
with
ill
succes
:
I
wil
name
thēfor
they
are
vnhapy
enough
to
be
destinated
to

Paper

Those
of
cōmōwealthes
,
came
as
much
short
but
it
is
no
maruaile
,
for
commonly
they
are
scholers
that
neuer
knew
more
of
gouernement
,
then
it
pleased
Aristotles
Politickes
,
or
some
such
,
rich
onelie
in
the
names
of
Oeconomicus
,
Despoticus
,
and
Politicus
,
&
then
to
define
the
three
seuerall
gouernementes
,
but
they
were
to
blame
,
for
the
Theoricke
,
&
Practick
of
no
arte
nor
subiect
differ
so
much
,
as
that
of
commonwealthes
,
and
state
businesse
.
Seneca
of
morality
is
the
best
,
Petrarch
de
remediis
vtriusque
fortunae
dooth
well
,
but
he
was
a
sharper
Poet
,
then
a
Philosopher
,
there
being
a
more
excellent
quicknesse
in
his
Sonets
then
Dialogues
.
There
is
now
left
Historie
,
which
resembles
,
counsailours
that
aduise
nothing
but
what
they
themselues
haue
done
,
which
study
is
not
without
daunger
,
for
it
is
so
bound
to
truth
,
that
it
must
relate
falshood
,
&
continue
rather
in
relation
then
in
aduise
:
of
these
,
the
truest
reflecting
glasses
are
those
that
present
particular
mens
liues
.
Among
those
I
haue
seene
none
are
worthy
but
Plutarch
,
&
Diogenes
Laertius
,
which
two
being
diligentlie
reade
,
and
rightly
vsed
,
cannot
but
recompence
the
readers
paines
,
for
the
temperance
of
these
Philosophers
mingled
with
the
valour
of
Plutarkes
Captaines
cannot
choose
but
make
an
exact
man
.
Tacitus
alreadie
hath
receiued
his
sentence
from
me
,
but
I
must
againe
say
,
he
is
more
wise
,
then
safe
,
but
that
is
not
his
fault
:
for
the
Painter
is
not
to
be
blamed
though
his
picture
be
ill
fauored
if
his
paterne
were
so
,
nor
Tacitus
thought
ill
,
because
Tiberius
was
a
tirant
,
Claudius
a
foole
,
Nero
vicious
.
But
neuer
was
there
so
wise
an
author
so
ill
handeled
by
commentors
,
for
where
as
I
am
sure
hee
meant
still
wisely
,
some
of
them
haue
so
powdred
him
with
morality
,
that
they
conuert
his
iuice
into
as
little
variety
,
or
good
vse
,
as
Beware
by
me
good
people
;
or
if
more
gently
,
like
Aesops
talking
creatures
,
that
haue
moralls
tyed
to
their
tailes
.
The
rest
haue
left
him
as
they
found
him
,
without
making
him
confesse
any
thing
;
so
that
all
of
them
haue
done
no
more
,
than
to
try
who
loues
gold
so
well
as
to
pul
it
out
of
the
durt
,
for
he
that
fetches
his
sentences
out
of
their
pages
,
aduentures
a
bemiring
.
Comines
is
a
good
Historiographer
,
he
knew
much
of
the
practick
part
of
state
learning
,
but
I
hold
Guieciardine
a
better
scholler
,
&
more
sentencious
,
as
when
he
saith
,
Intuttele
attioni
humaine
,
et
nella
guerra
massonamente
bisogna
spesso
accommodare
il
consiglio
alla
necessita
.
For
the
marshaling
aduise
more
cannot
be
said
,
for
it
teacheth
an
aduiser
to
take
his
marke
so
sure
as
he
cannot
misse
:
for
respectes
appearing
waighty
in
the
time
of
the
health
of
a
state
,
must
not
be
redeemed
in
her
sicknesse
,
for
preseruation
is
to
bee
preferred
before
comelinesse
.
There
are
many
bookes
by
me
omitted
precious
enough
,
if
Time
will
giue
vs
leaue
to
digest
these
:
for
I
am
of
Senecaes
minde
concerning
this
variety
of
Bookes
,
who
compares
an
vnsetled
reader
,
to
a
trauailer
,
that
hath
many
Hostes
,
and
few
friendes
.
There
are
more
,
but
mine
is
but
an
Essay
,
not
a
Catalogue
.
I
thinke
well
of
these
Bookes
named
,
and
the
better
because
they
teach
me
how
to
mannage
myselfe
:
where
any
of
them
grow
subtile
,
or
intend
heigh
matters
,
I
giue
my
memory
leaue
to
loose
them
.
There
are
none
that
I
scratche
with
my
pen
that
doe
not
fatherly
counsaile
me
to
the
way
of
vertue
.
I
like
much
better
to
doe
well
,
then
to
talke
well
,
choosing
to
be
beloued
rather
then
admired
,
aspiring
to
no
more
height
then
the
comfort
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
doing
good
to
some
,
harme
to
none
.
If
my
Essayes
speake
thus
,
they
speake
as
I
would
haue
them
,
for
I
thinke
not
of
making
morality
full
of
imbrodery
,
cutworkes
,
but
to
clothe
her
in
trueth
,
and
plainenesse
:
nor
if
they
straye

The
Instrumentes
of
a
Statesman
.
Nvnc

.
Against
no
life
doth
the
force
of
vice
oppose
her self
;
&
make
so
strong
a
preparation
,
as
against
the
life
of
a
states-man
:
for
in
a
priuate
course
shee
prepares
her selfe
but
vpon
some
fewe
places
left
vnfortified
by
nature
,
and
transformes
her selfe
into
some
vnconquered
affections
,
but
here
she
assaults
with
the
weapons
of
Power
,
Self-loue
,
Ambition
,
Corruption
,
Reuenge
,
and
Feare
:
all
which
though
in
all
states
,
yet
no
where
so
forcible
;
as
where
greatnesse
obserues
reason
with
flatterie
,
and
happinesse
determines
successe
fetched
out
of
his
owne
merites
.
In
his
priuate
course
,
euery
man
may
allot
himselfe
his
company
,
his
imploiments
,
his
successe
,
which
hardly
can
fall
out
so
contrary
to
his
expectation
,
that
eyther
his
owne
negligence
,
or
necessity
shall
not
mittigate
his
passion
:
but
here
multitudes
of
purposes
,
of
imploiments
,
of
company
,
of
occasions
,
so
rowle
&
tumble
one
:
vpon
another
,
as
like
a
Swimmer
in
the
boysterous
Ocean
,
doth
he
neuer
so
strongly
part
one
billowe
,
another
ouerwhelmes
him
,
&
his
whole
life
is
as
troublesome
&
painful
,
as
a
body
sweltred
in
a
crowde
:
But
howsoeuer
troublesome
with
being
a
maine
piller
of
a
state
,
howsoeuer
dangerous
with
beeing
outwardly
subiect
to
state
and
enuie
,
and
inwardly
perplexed
with
his
naturall
ill
affections
made
obstinate
by
fortune
:
yet
these
vanquished
,
or
at
least
wise
honestly
resisted
,
he
becomes
of
all
liuing
men
the
happiest
,
and
the
most
innocent
of
mispending
the
benefit
of
life
.
It
is
with
man
,
as
with
the
purest
thing
in
estimation
,
which
whilest
it selfe
,
receiues
respect
from
the
sight
&
imagination
,
in
recompence
of
the
pleasures
&
contentment
that
the
sight
and
imagination
receiue
from
the
obiect
:
but
if
spotted
or
deformed
,
all
the
other
beauties
turne
into
blemishes
,
&
are
witnesses
of
the
disgrace
,
from
which
fight
the
senses
turne
away
,
as
knowing
this
intelligence
would
bevnwelcome
to
the
minde
,
as
the
most
abhorred
thing
of
nature
.
Man
must
then
keepe
his
minde
,
(
the
infused
preciousnesse
that
makes
him
man
)
as
cleanlinesse
keepes
white
,
or
rather
as
virginitie
,
virginity
:
for
estimation
is
the
sharpest
enemy
,
if
lost
,
and
seperated
from
our
friendship
.
To
all
men
belongs
vertue
,
for
he
cannot
deale
iustly
with
himselfe
without
vertue
,
for
affection
choosing
grosely
and
partially
,
will
statue
the
minde
to
feede
the
senses
,
and
perhaps
some
of
them
to
surfet
others
.
He
then
that
must
distribute
rightly
to
others
without
vertue
,
he
shall
be
vnsensible
,
because
affection
knoweth
onely
what
she
feeleth
:
to
be
iust
then
,
hee
must
be
vertuous
,
to
be
wise
he
must
be
vertuous
,
for
wisdome
is
but
truth
,
and
vertue
is
truth
:
to
be
good
he
must
be
vertuous
,
to
bee
honest
hee
must
bee
vertuous
,
for
vertue
is
honesty
:
in
a
worde
to
be
,
he
must
be
vertuous
,
for
her
contrary
is
but
corruption
,
which
killes
and
deformes
,
but
is
not
to
be
seene
seperated
from
her
conquest
.
Vertue
is
the
rocke
whervpon
the
expert
Architect
of
life
must
build
,
if
hee
meane
to
reconcile
those
heauenly
adorners
of
things
,
beauty
,
and
lasting
.
It
is
the
foundation
or
stemme
,
that
all
particular
graces
are
rooted
in
,
for
this
plant
so
obserued
,
as
but
once
liuing
in
the
soyle
of
man
,
the
labour
is
ouer
,
and
the
hands
that
laboured
at
the
setting
,
shall
bee
now
recompenced
with
the
gathering
of
al
the
sorts
of
wholsome
fruits
.
Honesty
,
goodnesse
,
truth
,
and
wisdome
,
beeing
all
the
indiuiduall
parts
of
vertue
,
and
vertue
all
them
.
To
the
obtaining
vertue
,
which
we
haue
naturally
rather
in
possibility
,
then
possession
:
there
is
no
course
,
but
as
Socrates
saith
;
Bona
malaque
distinguere
.
In
the
knowledge
and
choise
of
these
,
rests
the
vttermost
happinesse
of
man
,
for
Summum
bonum
est
,
quod
honestum
est
,
&
quod
magis
admireris
,
vnum
bonum
est
,
quod
honestum
est
ceura
falsa
,
&
adulterina
bona
sunt
.
To
see
how
to
make
this
seperation
,
let
vs
take
the
two
bodyes
including
all
the
courses
of
man
,
which
are
proffit
and
pleasure
:
this
first
,
the
seducer
of
mankinde
,
what
is
it
but
the
adulterate
issue
of
the
sences
?
whose
opinion
,
or
perswasion
doe
wee
vse
in
the
receiuing
these
but
our
senses
?
whose
earthly
capacitie
is
too
base
a
counsailour
to
direct
him
,
for
whom
the
earth
was
made
,
neither
can
they
determine
of
the
substanciall
parts
of
things
,
their
powers
reaching
but
to
the
accidents
of
substances
,
as
what
is
white
&
what
sweet
,
but
how
to
vse
them
they
knowe
not
,
De
bonis
,
&
malis
sensus
non
iudica●
;
quid
utile
sit
,
quid
inutile
,
ignorat
.
The
pleasures
of
these
things
are
touched
,
and
dead
at
an
instant
,
the
estimation
of
which
,
hath
made
mee
repugne
that
ordinary
speache
,
and
opinion
of
the
worldes
.
He
is
a
glad
man
,
hee
hath
a
sonne
:
or
his
sonne
is
come
home
:
or
he
hath
an
vnexspected
inheritance
befallen
him
,
truly
I
will
not
deny
but
these
occurrentes
wil
breede
a
tickling
kinde
of
pleasure
,
but
of
ioy
they
cannot
,
for
it
is
a
more
solid
thing
,
and
ariseth
from
an
vnderstanding
that
is
able
to
iudge
,
such
contentmentes
eternall
,
which
the
circuit
of
a
narrow
imagination
can
by
no
meanes
grant
to
these
.
Of
feasts
,
assemblies
,
and
delights
purchased
by
the
wantonnes
of
to
much
store
,
which
are
not
onely
named
pleasures
,
and
delightes
,
but
are
euen
confessed
by
the
gossips
of
sensuality
to
be
those
blessings
that
make
life
pleasant
,
&
to
which
they
apply
life
:
Who
out
of
the
experience
of
almost
the
circuit
of
the
Sun
,
seeth
not
these
pleasures
either
vomitted
out
by
the
body
,
or
the
conscience
,
and
those
licorus
intertainers
plagued
with
as
much
thirst
,
or
vnsauory
tasts
as
earst
with
the
famine
of
desires
.
Were
that
true
excellency
in
them
,
that
opinion
hath
seduced
Imagination
to
beleeue
,
who
would
thinke
that
power
that
giues
vs
both
them
,
&
our selues
,
would
be
so
hard
as
to
exempt
himselfe
from
so
material
,
&
excellent
a
blessing
?
But
I
take
myselfe
here
in
a
fault
of
to
much
earnestnes
,
making
the
clearenes
of
light
questionable
,
with
bringing
in
proofes
;
no
question
,
but
ioy
,
&
pleasure
differ
much
,
pleasure
being
so
fading
,
as
if
not
preserued
by
the
mēory
it
would
hardly
last
so
long
as
her
picture
were
a
drawing
:
but
ioy
beeing
the
reward
of
vertue
hath
all
one
nature
with
vertue
,
which
is
eternity
.
Husbandry
defines
profit
well
,
for
he
accountes
that
profitable
that
is
lasting
,
but
my
profit
out-liues
his
,
for
it
is
eternall
,
and
excelleth
him
once
more
,
for
this
profit
is
both
excellent
&
lasting
,
where
as
his
things
lasting
,
craue
helpe
of
a
grose
,
&
thicke
substantialnes
.
This
profit
vertue
,
which
we
mistake
,
when
we
account
a
dry
morose
life
,
that
is
so
trust
vp
in
forme
,
&
that
it
is
voyde
of
all
contentment
;
&
no
,
we
looke
vpon
the
least
part
of
vertue
when
we
looke
but
vpon
her
countenance
,
&
vpon
the
worst
to
,
I
may
safly
say
,
for
though
she
showes
not
her
teeth
in
a
laughter
,
yet
I
wil
be
bound
,
her
possessor
is
more
laden
with
contentment
,
and
her
conuersation
more
sweete
,
and
pleasing
,
then
the
merriest
light-headed
conceite
,
or
he
whose
constancy
,
to
company
hath
purchased
the
name
of
a
good
fellow
.
To
obtaine
which
rich
adorner
of
life
,
there
are
especially
two
meanes
;
A
selfe
obseruation
,
which
(
me
thinkes
)
a
Garden
formed
▪
but
not
planted
▪
to
plant
it
,
example
is
the
speediest
meanes
,
for
the
way
of
precept
is
more
long
,
and
laborious
,
then
that
of
example
,
obseruation
two
wayes
purchaseth
her
perfection
,
by
that
of
a
mans
selfe
,
and
others
:
so
example
two
waies
,
by
the
good
,
&
the
bad
,
which
last
meanes
though
the
Lacedemonians
did
vniustly
vse
with
loosing
one
for
another
,
as
some
Alchimistes
purchase
their
Elixer
with
as
much
charge
as
gaine
,
surffeting
their
slaues
to
make
their
freemen
temperate
,
yet
that
meanes
omitted
,
voluntarily
there
wil
be
enough
found
to
make
this
medicine
,
for
the
world
will
neuer
be
so
barren
,
that
good
men
shall
not
finde
more
ill
,
then
they
can
make
vse
of
.
To
him
that
will
profit
by
the
obseruation
of
himselfe
,
must
be
set
vp
a
marke
,
reckening
from
which
,
he
may
know
his
owne
profession
;
as
an
eye
on
the
sea
reaching
to
the
land
by
some
steeple
,
or
tree
of
stature
,
gesseth
of
his
iourney
.
Propound
vertue
the
end
of
your
course
,
recken
those
innate
affections
most
praedominant
,
and
dangerous
the
miles
,
which
you
must
ouercome
before
the
dispatch
of
your
iourney
,
and
from
one
of
these
to
another
shall
you
rightlye
measure
your
proceedinges
I
accept
of
no
other
intentes
but
the
obtayning
of
vertue
:
for
to
intend
the
raising
of
the
body
,
&
to
put
the
minde
to
drudgerie
for
his
sake
,
is
full
of
perill
and
folly
,
as
we
say
in
English
,
It
is
to
set
the
Cart
before
the
horse
.
They
are
the
disease
of
the
body
these
thoughts
,
and
no
more
to
be
beleeued
or
followed
,
then
the
thoughts
of
a
man
in
a
burning
feuer
.
There
must
bee
a
course
propounded
,
for
a
minde
full
of
thinks
and
holes
,
powres
out
it selfe
vnprofitably
,
and
spends
faster
then
he
gets
:
his
determinations
for
want
of
resolution
are
all
monsters
,
some
headlesse
,
some
leglesse
,
some
blind
,
some
dease
,
none
with
their
right
shape
,
or
christendome
;
for
it
is
not
enough
for
the
Painter
to
haue
colours
,
hath
he
not
a
solid
Idea
in
his
fancy
?
his
colours
may
showe
colours
,
but
neuer
agree
so
wel
,
as
to
beget
proportion
.
Euery
man
hath
not
all
affections
,
the
iourney
were
then
longer
then
we
should
haue
light
to
performe
it
,
but
commonlie
they
goe
in
couples
,
and
though
they
all
wish
themselues
most
power
,
yet
their
natures
beeing
a
kin
,
they
agree
better
,
and
diuide
the
spoile
:
so
pride
,
and
couetousnesse
:
pride
is
content
to
giue
couetousnesse
leaue
to
worke
the
Vsurer
,
and
in
the
meane
time
she
goeth
to
the
prodigall
,
and
prepares
him
fit
to
feede
the
vsurer
,
and
when
shee
,
hath
burnt
him
to
Ashes
,
and
durte
,
then
goeth
she
to
vsurie
,
and
deuides
him
with
couetousnesse
:
in
the
meane
time
pride
is
a
lazie
effeminate
imperfection
,
couetousnesse
a
miserable
industrious
vice
.
He
that
is
touched
with
any
of
these
,
or
others
of
like
natures
,
let
him
strictlie
examine
their
gaines
and
their
losses
,
if
hee
findes
them
transitorie
,
vnsafe
outwardly
,
inwardly
torments
,
full
of
vexation
,
and
disquietnesse
,
what
an
vndiscreete
choise
dooth
hee
make
of
his
companions
?
To
performe
this
surely
,
let
him
obserue
others
,
and
especially
those
whose
nearenesse
of
fashion
,
and
life
●●eme
to
confesse
a
likenesse
:
here
he
seeth
truely
,
(
if
euer
he
wil
do
iustice
it
is
here
)
how
he
fals
,
how
he
riseth
,
what
is
becomming
,
what
disgracefull
,
to
the
least
spot
,
moale
,
or
wrinckle
,
shall
he
be
able
to
discerne
in
this
Glasse
,
whose
reflection
deciphers
more
clearely
,
then
his
owne
feeling
,
for
there
parciallity
will
corrupt
wit
,
and
make
her
an
aduocate
of
an
ill
title
.
Thus
much
for
obseruation
,
whose
circuit
wholely
to
incompasse
,
would
make
this
writing
fault
of
mine
vnpardonable
,
for
it
is
a
body
of
a
great
bignesse
,
and
rich
in
solid
wisdome
,
but
deciphered
by
my
pen
,
it
would
be
thought
a
Ghost
,
for
my
stocke
set
on
the
tainterhookes
,
can
giue
it
but
shape
,
not
substance
.
It
is
the
most
precious
licour
in
the
world
the
most
working
,
and
powerfull
,
all
others
are
not
comparable
:
for
hearbes
,
and
mettalls
,
and
mineralls
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Chimick
ranke
,
are
fetched
from
some
1.2
.
or
3.
simples
,
and
are
good
for
one
,
or
two
things
,
if
they
speake
of
more
they
are
suspected
for
impostors
:
but
the
licour
of
obseruation
is
the
whole
world
distill'd
,
which
is
good
for
the
whole
worlde
,
for
all
things
troubling
either
minde
,
or
body
.

I
know
none
better
at
this
,
then
the
author
of
this
sentence
Seneca
,
who
in
his
Epistles
(
the
worke
,
of
all
he
wrought
in
most
estimation
with
me
)
makes
light
obseruations
continually
beget
serious
discourse
:
as
when
he
fetcheth
from
his
blind
foole
(
who
was
perswaded
he
could
see
)
the
blindnesse
of
all
men
in
the
seeing
their
imperfections
.

,
men
like
comaedians
,
for
though
he
makes
least
account
of
a
stolne
marriage
,
of
an
ammorous
young
man
,
of
a
father
as
much
in
loue
with
his
mony
,
as
his
sonne
with
a
wench
:
of
a
huffing
braggart
,
and
a
gouty
Leno
;
yet
euen
from
these
he
fetcheth
some
implementes
of
his
building
,
but
more
from
the
Tragicall
matters
of
Princes
,
where
the
,
play
is
more
deepe
,
and
more
earnest
,
where
men
being
come
to
the
ripenning
,
and
haruest
,
giue
the
beholders
a
more
liuely
representation
of
vertue
,
&
vice
,
then
the
coldnesse
of
precept
,
which
is
rather
a
muster
,
then
a
skirmish
.
Who
will
beleeue
mee
so
well
that
Aches
,
and
sicknesse
thriue
best
when
resisted
?
as
if
Plutarch
tels
them
,
Caesar
with
a
falling
sicknesse
was
no
longer
idle
then
sencelesse
:
instruct
sureliest
that
are
both
represented
,
and
rewarded
in
the
beholders
sight
.
I
doe
not
thinke
there
is
so
leaden
,
and
counterfet
a
spirite
liuing
that
would
not
giue
his
hand
for
Scaeuolas
action
,
who
punished
himselfe
(
saith
an
Author
)
more
seuerely
for
not
killing
Prosenna
,
then
Prosenna
him
for
attempting
to
kill
him
.
There
is
this
force
in
precept
,
but
how
would
a
scholler
fly
from
his
maister
that
should
goe
about
to
perswade
him
to
burne
of
his
hand
?
yet
performed
it
lookes
not
madly
,
but
beautifully
,
and
surely
,
I
thinke
this
gallant
fellow
did
it
more
by
the
helpe
of
his
discourse
,
then
his
bodies
willingnesse
,
for
I
verily
beleeue
his
body
loued
his
hand
better
then
his
counerey
,
and
it
is
not
to
bee
blamed
for
it
,
it
was
nearer
a
kin
to
him
,
and
his
naturall
occupation
to
thinke
none
so
precious
as
the
partes
of
himselfe
.
Now
let
me
see
Gluttony
,
Luxury
,
and
wanton
Dissolutenesse
bee
content
to
bee
throwne
out
of
their
Kingdome
with
Nero
,
to
be
despised
of
the
whole
worlde
,
to
couer
his
face
from
the
eyes
of
men
,
not
to
dare
to
liue
,
and
yet
affraide
to
dye
,
to
beg
death
at
the
hands
of
his
seruannts
,
to
crie
out
in
the
end
,
Nec
amicu●
,
nec

▪
I
do
not
thinke
,
but
the
most
hardened
peece
of
vice
,
though
contented
to
haue
gone
with
him
a
great
while
together
,
would
leaue
him
now
,
and
serue
him
as
flatterers
do
pouertie
.
But
who
knowes
not
,
that
hath
not
all
his
vnderstanding
moulten
by
vice
,
that
deserts
and
rewardes
,
are
appendices
one
vpon
another
,
and
as
inseperable
as
heate
and
fire
.
We
heare
this
without
example
,
as
wee
see
the
peeces
of
things
rent
from
the
bodie
,
without
any
note
,
or
obseruation
:
but
if
this
goeth
so
to
,
there
is
left
only
the
medicine
of
experience
which
(
as
Phisicians
say
)
in
states
desperate
,
either
killes
,
or
cures
.
Questionlesse
from
the
liues
of
men
there
are
great
matters
to
bee
fetched
:
It
is
a
liuing
Booke
,
by
which
Princes
&
great
men
may
with
least
difficulty
gather
instructions
for
the
managing
their
liues
,
but
it
is
to
be
done
carefully
in
matters
particular
,
for
those
performed
long
since
,
v●altered
,
can
hardly
fit
our
time
,
where
not
onely
states
,
but
euen
the
verie
constitution
of
men
,
and
their
reaches
are
changed
.
I
haue
beene
content
thus
farre
to
talke
stoically
,
a
profession
I
confesse
,
contrary
to
my
nature
,
who
a●●
easilie
bent
,
and
wrested
:
It
is
a
profession
reiected
by
the
world
,
and
reason
,
for
some
part
of
their
doctrine
strayeth
from
Christiantie
:
but
where
it
may
be
tolerated
a
nature
able
to
maintaine
the
ciuill
warres
of
his
own
resistance
,
and
that
findes
a
possibilitie
of
being
at
last
victorious
,
shall
do
well
to
perseuer
:
for
there
can
be
no
life
safe
,
which
if
not
wholye
the
enemie
of
hope
,
and
feare
,
yet
that
borrowes
not
some
rules
from
their
precepted
,
Talis
est
sapiens
animus
,
qualis
mundi
status
super
Lunam
,
semper

serenus

Who
would
not
buy
this
hapines
with
thinking
of
euery
thing
truely
as
it
is
?
no
other
way
dooth
he
obtaine
it
,
for
be
doth
but
buy
thinges
as
they
are
worth
,
&
part
with
them
as
he
bought
them
:
vertue
being
his
marke
,
other
things
passe
like
bette●
,
but
the
maine
is
vertue
,
which
both
in
the
seeking
,
and
obtaining
,
strengthens
her
pursuer
with
such
honest
,
and
vnderstanding
thoughtes
,
as
from
nothing
here
,
can
he
receiue
either
a
gaine
,
or
losse
.
Here
then
must
be
the
foundation
of
a
states-man
,
who
must
learne
this
lesson
if
hee
meane
to
doe
well
,
for
being
a
great
Gamster
in
the
world
,
alwayes
in
those
either
gaines
,
or
losses
,
should
he
thinke
them
so
,
and
be
either
throwne
downe
;
or
lifted
vp
vppon
the
successe
,
his
life
would
be
distracted
,
and
be
able
to
do
nothing
for
his
country
,
for
laughing
,
or
chasing
.
But
when
truth
,
and
vertue
haue
rooted
themselues
in
him
;
when
his
discerning
shall
bee
come
to
that
perfection
that
he
seeth
the
map
of
nature
to
the
life
as
it
is
:
when
his
discourse
shall
bee
come
to
that
strength
,
that
it
seeth
the
inward
graces
of
the
minde
are
so
full
,
and
compleat
,
that
they
can
take
no
addition
from
the
world
:
and
that
againe
they
are
so
solid
,
and
firme
,
as
by
no
time
,
nor
occasion
they
can
be
diminished
,
(
for
Vertus
non
potest
Maior
,
aut
minor
fieri
)
then
let
him
in
Gods
name
yeeld
his
country
his
strength
,
&
his
time
,
,
for
then
neither
victories
can
puffe
him
vp
,
nor
ouerthrowes
deiect
him
:
he
lendes
himselfe
,
and
other
,
not
pitty
but
assistaunce
,
and
weepes
not
for
his
owne
losses
felt
,
no
more
then
for
Hecubaes
,
seene
in
a
picture
,
hee
hath
met
with
an
excellent
workeman
and
his
squared
falling
(
howsoeuer
cast
)
right
,
and
fumely
.
Thus
is
vertue
,
whome
though
I
neuer
sawe
so
fastned
to
any
man
,
as
(
lending
not
a
little
partialitie
to
trueth
)
I
might
call
him
a
vertuous
man
:
yet
we
haue
diuers
that
haue
done
wel
,
and
though
we
had
not
,
yet
in
our
imaginations
where
things
liue
in
their
greatest
purity
,
and
florishing
)
we
can
see
nothing
but
man
,
that
is
capable
of
vertue
:
for
we
pay
all
other
things
(
doing
any
thing
extraordinarily
)
with
the
name
of
instinct
,
a
word
giuen
vs
to
(
I
thinke
)
by
the
name
of
instinct
:
for
it
is
like
a
wrastlers
sauing
a
fall
with
a
foiling
:
for
we
taking
vpon
vs
to
be
wrastlers
with
the
misteries
of
nature
,
saue
ourselues
,
with
the
name
of
instinct
,
a
degree
of
Ignorance
more
guilty
then
plaine
ignorance
,
for
here
it
is
impudent
,
and
saues
it selfe
with
a
worde
,
not
reason
.
I
haue
yet
spoken
of
vertue
in
grose
it
is
now
time
to
speake
of
her
particuler
workinges
,
how
shee
mannageth
the
seuerall
occasions
that
doe
befall
her
:
and
first
to
the
meanes
of
rising
.
It
is
not
now
the
world
,
where
the
sauing
a
Romaine
Citizen
shall
be
rewarded
with
a
crowne
of
honour
,
and
still
beare
a
token
of
his
desert
about
him
,
and
by
the
helpe
of
t●at
imprint
his
action
more
deepely
in
the
memories
of
m●n
:
nor
is
there
such
an
equalnesse
in
states
that
all
mens
actions
are
seene
with
a
like
iudgement
.
It
were
pittie
it
were
so
now
,
for
Pride
would
ruine
all
in
a
moment
:
the
humour
of
preferring
our
country
before
any
thing
else
is
spent
,
the
world
affordes
not
a
Curtius
:
we
hold
most
of
their
vices
,
but
what
supressed
their
vices
,
and
kept
them
in
awe
,
we
haue
not
.
Shame
,
honour
,
and
a
noblenesse
in
all
their
customes
,
wherewith
the
Grecian
&
Romaine
commonwealthes
wrought
their
greatest
wonders
,
are
now
like
a
morning
mist
ouercome
by
the
rayes
of
wit
.
Our
time
is
the
noone
time
of
the
world
,
theirs
breake
of
day
,
or
the
gray
morning
as
wee
call
it
.
You
shall
hardly
finde
a
father
now
a
daies
,
that
will
care
rather
how
his
sonne
is
dead
,
than
dead
,
that
prizeth
his
valour
dearer
then
his
life
,
yet
in
times
past
,
mothers
had
that
hardines
that
they
hated
more
that
hee
should
bee
wounded
in
the
backe
,
then
dead
.
It
is
not
so
now
,
no●
I
thinke
it
not
necessary
,
for
the
spirite
of
these
times
ioyned
with
their
deserts
would
beget
to
good
a
particular
opinion
,
which
would
distemper
gouernment
,
whose
flourishing
,
standes
vpon
the
motion
,
of
the
inferior
orbes
in
their
right
place
,
obedience
not
examination
being
their
destined
functions
.
It
stands
now
with
the
iustice
of
a
state
,
to
draw
the
reward
of
vertue
from
his
country
,
it
being
not
so
pertinent
that
the
desert
of
one
be
honoured
,
as
the
examination
what
the
subiect
is
vpon
whom
this
is
laid
:
for
may
this
reward
increase
his
estimation
beyond
the
power
of
suppressing
,
whatsoeuer
he
doth
,
that
he
may
do
much
,
is
dangerous
:
his
nature
,
his
power
,
his
birth
are
circumstances
to
be
wayed
with
no
lesse
care
,
then
the
not
suffering
his
valour
,
or
wisedome
to
goe
away
empty
fisted
.
This
hath
made
me
wonder
at
the
impudent
follie
of
such
,
as
I
haue
often
heard
to
extoll
their
owne
desertes
,
as
to
call
their
country
,
ingratefull
▪
alas
no
the
power
of
one
man
is
to
feeble
euer
to
make
his
country
his
debtour
they
are
traitors
to
their
country
that
dare
protest
this
,
and
mindes
too
mercenarie
to
be
of
worth
.
Rather
we
are
obliged
to
our
countrey
,
that
vnder
the
Ensigne
of
her
authority
we
may
exercise
our
vertue
▪
for
only
in
her
behoofe
,
or
quarrell
,
it
is
lawfull
for
vs
to
spend
our
time
,
and
aduenture
our
liues
:
for
in
another
state
hee
is
an
hierling
,
and
his
indeuours
belong
to
couetousnesse
,
or
vaineglory
.
Two
Germane
princes
,
the
one
of
them
a
seruant
of
the
Romaine
state
the
other
their
enemy
,
meeting
vpon
an
enterueiw
,
of
the
Romaine
parts
being
demaunded
by
the
other
how
hee
lost
his
eye
,
answered
,
in
the
quarrell
of
the
Romaines
▪
being
asked
how
recompenced
,
he
told
of
Garlandes
of
victory
,
and
other
liberties
〈◊〉
him
;
the
other
laughed
at
the
basenesse
of
his
brother
that
solde
his
bloud
for
such
trifles
.
Had
he
lost
it
in
the
〈◊〉
of
his
countrie
,
this
mouth
of
reproche
had
beene
stopped
,
it
beeing
an
action
so
iust
,
and
so
worthy
,
as
farre
over
valueth
either
an
eye
or
a
life
.
A
vertuous
maide
needes
no
perswasion
to
this
,
it
beeing
the
first
lesson
of
vertue
to
her
disciples
,
to
flie
a
mercenary
gaping
after
rewarde
,
so
indifferent
shee
stands
for
the
applause
or
honour
of
the
world
,
receiuing
outward
testimonies
of
gratuitye
▪
rather
to
satissie
the
giuer
,
&
not
to
seeme
a
despiser
of
his
fauour
,
then
needing
giftes
,
honour
,
or
riches
:
so
for
her
imploiment
labouring
truly
where
she
is
set
,
not
appointing
the
worlde
,
which
roome
is
meetelt
for
her
.
I
confesse
a
strangenesse
in
this
position
,
&
that
from
some
minds
I
take
hereby
euen
the
very
spirite
of
their
indeuours
:
but
such
minds
know
how
wauering
and
perplexed
they
liue
,
so
crushed
and
battered
with
giuing
liberty
to
hope
and
feare
,
as
their
life
is
no
life
but
the
harborer
of
liuing
griefes
,
or
a
ship
of
glasse
nauigating
in
the
sea
of
errors
,
as
the
Poet
saith
;
O
vita
,
vitae

ma

Affo●ne
,
Naue
di

ni

di

errore
,
Sotto
pioggia
di
Piaxto
,
et
di
dolore
,
Che
sempre
cresce
con-vergogna
,
et
danno
.
There
needes
no
great
examination
of
this
:
for
euen
their
very
behauiour
giues
purblinde
sights
knowledge
of
their
continuall
suffering
,
which
,
who
can
get
vertue
to
remedy
,
and
to
be
his
champion
,
against
these
hatefull
bereauers
of
contentment
,
he
will
shortlie
crie
out
.
O
felice

I
wish
to
a
minde
that
desires
to
carie
his
life
euery
way
graciously
,
not
vnder
the
colour
of
recreation
,
to
giue
any
sports
leaue
to
possesse
him
too
much
.
I
remember
Terence
makes
a
Father
commend
his
sonne
,
that
all
those
things
were
esteemed
of
him
equally
,
and
not
too
much
,
which
he
reioyced
in
,
and
he
had
good
cause
,
for
they
are
things
of
too
light
a
colour
to
bee
worne
by
grauitie
,
they
spend
much
time
,
a
thing
not
of
the
least
consequence
,
for
either
himselfe
,
or
his
country
still
needs
it
,
it
lightens
the
minde
,
&
filles
it
with
thoughts
of
pleasure
and
gaming
:
it
is
the
entrance
of
corruption
,
for
who
resists
riches
,
is
often
taken
by
a
meaner
thing
fitting
his
pleasure
.
If
I
should
tell
you
,
that
the
fighting
game
of
Quailes
was
Anthonies
ouerthrowe
,
it
would
be
thought
fetcht
a
great
waye
about
:
but
it
is
truth
that
Augustus
ouer-comming
him
in
those
wagers
,
gaue
an
entrance
to
the
perswasion
of
his
flatterers
,
that
his
spirite
was
obscured
by
Caesars
,
and
that
hee
should
speed
better
when
more
remote
:
so
that
hee
left
Rome
,
and
went
into
Aegipt
,
left
temperance
,
&
fell
to
sensuality
,
which
if
you
will
not
graunt
this
the
cause
of
:
yet
can
it
not
be
denied
for
a
motiue
more
attractiue
then
the
occasion
was
worthy
of
.
The
body
must
haue
recreation
,
but
it
is
to
haue
it
in
my
opinion
,
but
as
Phisick
for
necessities
sake
.
But
we
must
goe
no
farther
in
this
then
the
auoyding
,
which
without
a
great
power
in
himself
none
can
do
,
it

Let
not

shunning
pleasure

affability
grauity

not
boud

frowne
and

this
becomes
singularity
the
destroyer
of

of
others
:
neither
so

Good
is
to
be
done

not
onely
by
Iustice
,
but
by
perswasion

to
meete
the
humours
of
men

,

men
:
and
the
putting
of
authoritie
,
&
vsing
familiarity
,
preuailes
as
much
,
as
the
bloodiest
sentence
of
Iustice
,
whose
seuerity
often
makes
offendours
obstinate
,
which
though
it
endes
with
the
smart
of
the
accused
,
yet
doth
it
discredit
gouernement
as
much
to
haue
many
put
to
death
,
as
it
doth
a
Phisition
to
haue
many
patients
perrish

Of
flattery
the
bane
of
vertue
,
and
the
destinated
disease
killing
greatnesse
,
euery
one
can
speake
,
though
few
avoide
,
The
good
Augustus
that
mannaged
principallitie
as
fairely
as
it
was
possible
for
a
man
vnasisted
by
diuinitie
,
was
taken
heere
,
but
the
safest
that
might
be
,
I
cannot
finde
that
suffered
it
to
lay
hold
of
his
wisedome
,
or
gouernement
,
but
it
catch'd
him
by
the
eyes
,
for
he
loued
well
that
other
eyes
should
confesse
a
weakenesse
to
his
,
&
not
be
able
to
behold
them
long
Gaudebat

The
extremitie
of
this
seldome
comes
but
from
meane
estates
,
whom
if
they
bar
from
such
altberty
of
speaking
as
may
giue
oppertunitie
to
adulation
,
they
may
preuent
this
daunger
:
If
it
come
from
such
as
wee
holde
friends
,
their
life
and
honestye
examined
,
will
tell
what
they
meane
.
Anthony
whome
I
late
mentioned
,
was
deceiued
by
such
as
would
tell
him
of
his
faults
,
but
so
little
of
them
mixed
with
so
many
praises
,
as
their
reproofes
seemed
but
like
sharpe
fauce
to
make
him
deuoure
their
commendations
more
hungerly
.
But
this
was
a
cunning
trick
,
and
those
lesse
cunning
are
hardly
auoyded
,
since
they
meete
so
right
with
the
generall
inclination
of
man
,
selfe-loue
,
as
commonly
they
speake
no
more
then
wee
thinke
.
The
last
and
best
remedy
that
I
know
,
is
that
which
was
giuen
me
by
the
worthiest
friend
I
haue
,
by
way
of
aduise
:
when
commended
,
examine
vnpartially
your
owne
deserts
,
where
if
you
finde
not
what
is
laide
to
your
charge
,
note
that
toung
for
the
instrument
of
flattery
.
I
cannot
thinke
of
a
better
remedy
,
only
I
must
say
,
it
is
not
to
be
done
without
vertue
,
for
all
the
examinations
of
vice
are
partiall
&
corrupt
.
For
friends
there
is
no
safety
but
in
honest
men
,
for
others
will
betray
vs
,
if
not
by
our selues
,
yet
with
himselfe
,
for
becoming
once
his
friend
,
wisdom
,
nor
forecast
,
nor
the
discrying
danger
ought
keepe
vs
from
perishing
with
him
.
I
holde
it
no
lesse
vnsafe
to
choose
one
onely
for
greatnes
,
for
we
make
choise
of
them
but
for
our
owne
sakes
,
which
they
are
apt
enough
to
find
,
&
as
apt
to
make
vse
of
vs
to
their
owne
profit
:
we
may
fall
with
these
,
but
our
rising
is
in
their
power
:
thus
the
friends
of
Seianus
when
Tiberius
had
discryed
him
,
paide
deerly
for
their
nearenesse
.
Here
a
power
to
descrye
into
the
natures
of
men
,
is
of
great
importance
,
but
it
is
a
power
as
difficult
,
few
being
worthy
of
knowledge
,
that
withall
haue
not
an
ability
to
obscure
their
defects
:
wherevpon
one
saith
;
Gioue

On●e

To
finde
out
the
secret
passages
of
a
mans
nature
,
I
deuise
not
to
talke
so
much
with
him
as
with
his
man
:
his
chamber
actions
discouer
more
then
his
appearance
in
assemblies
.
I
like
nothing
better
in
Montaigne
,
then
his
desire
of
knowing
Brutus
priuate
actions
,
wishing
more
to
know
what
he
did
in
Tent
,
then
in
battaile
,
for
there
beeing
himselfe
,
not
ouerawed
by
respect
and
company
,
he
spreds
himself
open
,
and
in
this
corner
giues
a
discerning
eye
a
more
liberall
view
,
then
when
he
stands
vpon
the
allowance
of
the
generall
sight
of
men
.
Of
serūats
now
I
hold
it
necessary
to
speake
;
an
assistance
well
vsed
assisting
,
but
to
be
handled
carefully
;
&
to
be
chosen
with
as
great
regarde
:
for
the
imploying
,
these
shewes
then
many
things
,
which
were
it
possible
to
bring
to
effect
without
their
knowlege
,
were
the
better
.
I
haue
elswhere
mentioned
their
vse
:
now
I
will
speake
of
three
things
concerning
them
.
The
first
,
the
disposing
them
according
to
their
natures
.
Tranoin●
nasce
buom
,
ch'ogni
cosa
sappia
,
Questo
è
bueno
ad
vn
mostier
,
quello
,
ad
vn
altro
.
Tu
saila
spada
oprar
,
quello
il
configlio
.
Of
this
with
nothing
so
excellent
an
happinesse
am
I
able
to
speake
,
as
doth
that
Maister-peece
of
English
,
which
in
a
light
Historye
meanes
the
most
graue
matter
,
I
meane
the
Arcadia
,
where
the
besieged
Amphialus
teacheth
the
vse
of
seruants
&
inferiours
most
exactly
there
shall
you
finde
constitutions
fitted
with
charges
and
imployments
according
to
their
nature
,
&
the
disability
of
one
man
for
al
places
.
The
second
care
must
be
,
that
their
imploiments
be
not
matters
of
the
greatest
consequence
,
reserue
these
for
your selues
:
for
not
to
bee
able
to
manage
matters
of
waight
breeds
pride
in
the
imployed
,
and
to
the
lookers
on
,
derogates
from
your
authoritie
.
The
last
,
&
not
least
of
importance
is
the
carriage
of
your
rewards
and
punishments
:
this
is
the
thing
that
giueth
lords
good
seruants
or
bad
:
I
like
well
to
let
them
see
all
their
faults
,
hardly
let
all
be
impardonable
though
not
punished
with
austeritie
.
In
capitall
offences
chide
not
,
but
let
them
feele
sharply
what
it
is
to
be
disobedient
or
rebellious
.
Talke
not
with
them
but
vpon
occasion
:
let
them
at
no
time
haue
idle
talke
:
bee
a
good
Maister
,
not
a
familiar
:
and
let
them
haue
all
their
due
largely
,
but
pa●ed
with
the
hand
of
seueritie
.
For
rewards
it
is
the
life
of
their
action
,
and
they
must
bee
taught
to
do
wel
thus
,
but
let
them
nor
know
how
much
they
haue
done
,
but
extenuate
the
seruice
as
much
as
safely
you
may
,
&
reward
them
not
presentlie
,
but
rather
when
it
shall
looke
altogither
like
your
bountie
.
Of
olde
seruants
make
great
account
,
&
giue
their
brused
bones
meanes
to
liue
their
after
life
in
rest
:
I
do
religiously
hold
this
,
for
we
owe
him
much
that
giues
vs
his
youth
:
and
surely
there
is
no
greater
inhumanity
,
then
to
make
vse
of
the
fresh
time
of
a
man
,
and
turne
him
out
in
the
colde
,
and
winter
of
his
age
.
This
I
finde
generally
to
be
the
force
of
vertue
,
that
all
her
proceedings
fall
out
most
safely
:
for
ingratitude
a
lim
of
her
contrarye
,
leaues
destitute
them
that
are
knowne
so
barren
:
if
the
earth
should
bee
so
to
the
paines
of
the
husbandman
,
we
should
starue
:
If
riuers
,
so
to
their
father
the
ocean
,
his
liberalitie
to
the
thirstie
earth
would
make
her
poore
:
but
nature
hath
made
her
creatures
more
louing
,
and
assisting
to
one
another
,
therfore
is
the
vngratefull
man
to
be
termed
a
monster
.
Pitty
and
humanity
,
where
benefits
binde
not
,
must
binde
:
thus
come
all
the
vnder
states
of
a
states-man
to
chalenge
his
aide
,
the
plenty
of
vnderstanding
,
and
riches
,
wherein
hee
surmounts
these
,
is
giuen
him
,
because
he
knowes
how
to
imploye
them
best
,
they
are
put
in
his
hands
not
to
keepe
from
them
,
but
to
keepe
them
from
excesse
,
that
ignorance
would
fall
into
,
if
at
his
owne
direction
.
These
need
onely
Iustice
,
&
to
be
kept
from
want
,
which
is
the
charge
of
high
fortunes
:
but
then
it
must
be
done
meerly
for
their
benefit
,
not
to
purchase
popularity
,
which
is
an
humor
full
of
danger
,
&
no
profit
,
a
breeder
of
vainglory
in
himselfe
,
and
suspition
in
others
.
The
priuate
communication
of
great
men
with
their
Prince
is
the
last
for
outward
matters
:
the
last
,
because
I
will
speake
of
no
more
:
for
otherwaies
the
turnings
and
occasions
of
this
life
are
so
infinite
,
that
if
euery
man
that
hath
written
of
the
matter
,
were
a
million
of
Authors
,
and
all
so
imployed
,
more
could
not
be
spoken
.
Howsoever
his
maisters
familiaritye
may
promise
a
libertie
of
behauiour
,
yet
neuer
to
approche
him
without
due
reuerence
:
what
euer
hee
is
,
yet
being
a
Prince
he
is
to
be
reuerenced
,
and
not
be
practised
against
,
as
a
wise
Author
saith
,
Good
Princes
are
to
bee
desired
,
but
howsoeuer
they
are
,
to
be
obeyed
.
It
is
the
duty
of
a
faithfull
seruant
to
tell
his
maister
of
his
faultes
,
I
meane
of
such
seruants
,
as
a
Prince
thinks
meet
for
their
wisdome
,
to
bee
assisters
of
his
gouernment
,
but
he
must
watch
fit
oportunity
.

Plato
holdes
him
a
worthy
counsailour
,
that
is
adorned
with
these
three
qualities
,
honesty
,
wisdom
,
&
boldnes
▪
that
his
aduice
bee
safe
,
hee
must
haue
honesty
;
that
sound
,
wisdome
;
that
gracious
,
boldnes
.
Neuer
is
aduise
to
be
ministred
in
the
time
of
the
fruition
of
what
you
meane
to
inueigh
against
,
but
then
when
the
smart
of
the
errour
ioyneth
with
you
in
perswasion
.
This
fault
was
Clytus
in
,
when
he
openly
inueighed
against
drunkennesse
,
in
the
middest
of
Alexanders
quaffings
,
hee
dyed
for
it
,
which
though
Alexander
lamented
in
his
sobriety
;
yet
could
not
that
reuiue
him
againe
,
but
is
an
example
,
how
circumspectly
a
seruant
must
deale
with
his
Prince
.
Now
to
the
inwarde
minde
,
by
the
which
as
by
the
fertilenesse
,
and
heate
of
the
soyle
,
the
children
of
her
wombe
flourish
:
All
vaine
hopes
are
to
be
abandoned
,
as
the
perswaders
vnto
all
vncertainety
and
perill
.
I
am
not
moued
against
Nero
for
any
thing
more
(
excepting
his
Quiristers
occupation
)
then
at
his
credence
giuen
to
a
fellowe
,
that
tolde
him
of
great
treasures
that
lay
hidden
in
Affrica
,
vpon
hope
of
which
he
dissolutely
consumed
those
he
possessed
.
Certainlye
these
hopes
can
neuer
enter
but
into
a
vicious
brest
,
which
often
resistes
reason
when
shee
would
looke
into
it
,
with
these
vaine
hopes
.
Ambition
also
buildes
vpon
such
groundes
,
and
thinkes
not
vppon
any
thing
that
it
would
,
but
it
beleeues
it
shall
,
whose
reasons
were
they
laide
open
,
would
appeare
such
feeble
impotent
things
,
as
the

would
rather
laugh
at

then
feare
.

Besides

Feare
the
most
terrible
and

thing
of

here
her

with

Of
Wordes
.
I
Like
no
Relation
so
well
,
as
what
mine
eye
telleth
me
:
for
there
is
in
speach
,
as
in
sumptuous
building
,
many
entries
,
landing
places
,
and
Lucomes
commaunded
more
for
formalities
sake
,
then
for
conueniency
:
so
ands
,
and
ifs
,
and
many
sounding
words
stuffe
vp
empty
periods
with
winde
.
Naturally
we
carry
matter
better
then
wordes
,
in
which
nature
tells
vs
,
shee
vseth
words
but
for
an
interpretour
,
because
our
ignorance
vnderstandes
not
her
Language
,
which
puttes
vs
to
a
great
deale
of
paine
,
and
makes
vs
go
a
great
way
about
in
our
inquisition
of
knowledge
:
for
there
is
lesse
drosse
in
the
letters
of
nature
,
then
in
words
,
the
substance
of
Bookes
:
for
the
apparition
of
naturall
obiectes
carries
not
such
a
company
of
circumstaunces
:
for
the
eare
is
more
deceiued
with
soundes
,
then
the
eye
with
colours
.
That
same
Euphoniae
gratia
the
maintainer
of
pratling
,
what
is
it
but
to
feed
the
auditory
,
with
Dishes
dressed
by
the
painter
,
not
the
cooke
?
for
they
may
say
they
are
satisfied
,
when
examined
what
they
had
,
it
proues
a
painted
shoulder
of
mutton
;
sulciae
solue
,
multum
mali
sub
illis
latet
.
It
may
proue
ill
,
but
if
not
so
,
Anatomize
the
wordes
of
these
adorers
of
wordes
,
and
they
proue
nothing
,
which
is
the
next
degree
to
ill
.
Seneca
commendes
his
friende
that
he
heares
nothing
of
him
,
Quod
plerique
ex
his
quos
interrogo
,
nesciunt
quid
agas
:
To
my
friend
,
I
would
say
,
that
they
know
not
what
thou
thinkest
,
because
seldome
speaking
:
for
my
thoughtes
are
dearer
to
me
then
any
actions
;
performing
any
thing
,
it
is
the
giuing
thoughtes
bodies
,
and
sending
them
into
the
world
.
There
was
a
knight
of
Rome
put
to
death
for
translating
a
dreame
of
his
into
wordes
,
had
hee
not
better
haue
suppressed
his
daungerous
imagination
,
and
taught
another
thought
to
haue
killed
this
,
then
to
haue
throwne
it
out
of
his
breast
by
the
violence
of
his
tongue
?
I
dare
be
bound
his
mother
if
she
were
aliue
at
that
day
,
wished
he
could
neuer
haue
spoke
,
for
mothers
like
nothing
in
their
children
so
wel
as
life
:
but
his
punishment
was
to
seueare
,
his
tongue
had
beene
losse
enough
,
for
that
had
beene
the
capitall
Traitour
.
Is
not
this
a
dangerous
iudgment
that
betraies
the
whole
life
for
the
trespasse
of
one
lim
?
had
it
not
bin
better
for
him
to
haue
vsed
the
tonge
for
a
taster
,
then
a
distributour
?
yes
,
questionlesse
.
For
speach
lesse
daungerous
then
this
,
is
good
for
nothing
but
to
pull
speach
from
others
:
for
willingly
(
were
the
company
fit
)
most
of
my
wordes
should
be
interrogation
,
but
when
I
were
at
this
charge
I
would
be
glad
to
meete
with
those
whose
expence
of
matter
should
equall
their
number
of
wordes
.
Truth
hath
fallen
vpon
it
so
often
,
&
so
commonly
,
that
it
is
a
receiued
precept
,
not
to
trust
a
great
talker
with
your
secrets
,
for
they
haue
such
a
disease
of
wordes
,
that
like
fier
they
will
feede
vppon
themselues
if
they
want
sustenaunce
:
so
that
you
must
feede
him
continuallie
like
a
Woolfe
,
or
else
hee
deuours
you
,
and
after
himselfe
,
for
he
loues
nothing
so
well
as
wordes
.
If
he
had
performed
it
without
diuulging
,
I
should
haue
liked
the
custome
of
Pallas
,
the
manumized
slaue
of
Claudius
,
who
protested
Nihil
vnquam
se
domi
nisi
nutu
,
aut
manu
significasse
:
It
was
a
good
course
:
for
wordes
to
inferiours
,
and
seruants
,
draw
on
familiaritie
,
and
familiarity
robbes
masters
,
and
Lordes
of
their
dominion
,
&
rule
.
If
we
were
now
,
as
wee
were
once
,
though
speach
should
bee
superfluous
(
for
all
should
haue
beene
good
,
and
I
thinke
then
,
all
knowledges
should
haue
seene
trueth
in
a
like
quantitie
)
yet
it
had
not
beene
so
daungerous
:
for
our
vices
are
the
Ocean
,
our
wordes
the
Barkes
transporting
,
and
trafficking
sin
with
him
,
and
imperfection
with
imperfection
:
so
that
multitudes
,
and
Assemblies
(
where
talke
turnes
the
minde
outward
)
are
as
perillous
to
an
honest
minde
,
as
to
receiue
education
in
a
Bordello
.
Heardly
shall
a
man
meete
with
a
tongue
in
these
places
speaking
either
honestly
or
temperatly
,
for
either
speaking
ill
,
or
too
well
,
takes
vp
all
men
,
flattery
or
slaunder
ingrossing
the
whole
body
of
speach
:
&
either
he
is
a
worthie
fellow
,
for
I
am
much
beholding
to
him
;
or
very
vnworthy
,
because
I
am
not
beholding
to
him
what
an
impudency
of
the
worlde
,
is
this
,
where
men
dare
protest
the
summe
of
vertues
,
or
vices
,
rests
in
mens
conforming
them selues
to
their
humours
?
what
is
this
but
the
confounding
of
all
goodnesse
,
&
benefit
of
societies
with
including
in
themselues
the
estimation
of
all
,
and
allowing
nothing
that
workes
not
for
their
priuate
satisfaction
?
me
thinkes
other
creatures
wanting
this
are
as
happy
as
a
licentious
disposition
wanting
wealth
:
for
by
this
meanes
they
knowe
but
their
owne
infirmities
,
and
goe
no
farther
,
then
natures
infusion
giues
them
leaue
;
but
men
by
the
helpe
of
speach
draw
the
corruption
o●
others
into
themselues
,
&
ad
to
their
naturall
infirmities
millions
of
imperfections
.
I
heare
men
speake
daily
,
but
not
a
day
in
a
month
finde
myselfe
bettered
by
their
speach
,
but
contrarily
haue
euery
day
such
a
company
of
ragges
throwen
into
my
braine
,
that
I
wish
my selfe
deafe
all
the
weeke
long
but
on
Sundayes
:
for
then
deuotion
,
and
the
Booke
in
a
diuines
hand
,
and
his
being
a
diuine
,
drawe
me
to
worke
somewhat
out
of
my
hearing
,
bee
he
neuer
so
lame
in
his
function
.
How
often
haue
I
seene
occasion
offer
company
a
vse
of
their
tongue
that
might
haue
bettered
their
mindes
,
but
as
often
almost
respected
,
and
inforced
vnderstandinges
able
to
haue
mounted
heigher
to
goe
with
them
in
the
durt
,
and
made
the
weather
,
the
season
,
or
some
chaunce
consume
the
preciousnesse
of
time
,
and
so
broken
vp
with
ouerladen
stomackes
and
empty
heades
to
the
shame
of
reason
,
and
her
seruaunte
speache
?
where
the
soules
of
men
are
more
strong
,
and
skilfull
,
there
hath
vainity
so
plyed
them
,
as
many
there
are
of
prettie
abilities
,
that
trust
as
much
to
the
sounding
of
their
wordes
,
as
some
women
doe
to
white
and
red
,
for
the
painting
of
their
faces
,
and
end
no
petition
,
without
a
compelling
the
company
to
applaude
it
,
with
turning
their
eyes
to
the
lookes
of
their
auditory
.
Was
it
not
this
that
made
Demosthenes
put
stones
in
his
mouth
to
amend
some
iarring
noise
of
his
voyce
,
and
to
talke
to
himselfe
in
vaultes
?
What
a
follye
was
this
of
a
wise
man
?
or
if
not
folly
,
wickednesse
,
for
either
he
meant
to
seduce
the
people
with
the
melody
of
his
tongue
,
or
if
not
,
hee
thought
smooth
speaking
of
more
price
then
it
is
:
for
sure
among
wisemen
where
speache
is
to
most
purpose
,
the
licour
is
not
refused
because
in
earth
or
wood
,
for
reason
is
reason
,
as
well
squeaked
as
sung
.
I
do
not
thinke
,
but
Demosthenes
when
his
voice
was
most
cracked
,
spake
as
sweetly
as
Balaames
Asse
,
yet
he
being
giuen
speach
by
the
giuer
of
all
things
,
and
reason
by
the
giuer
of
all
reason
,
his
speache
was
to
purpose
;
and
so
no
question
,
might
Demosthenes
vntunable
voyce
haue
beene
without
ballasting
his
mouth
.
But
this
is
not
against
speache
,
but
speakers
:
for
speache
may
bring
home
good
Merchandize
,
if
in
a
wise
Merchants
bestowing
,
and
is
without
question
a
Touch-stone
,
discouering
aswell
wisemen
as
fooles
:
marrie
I
thinke
fooles
speake
more
then
wisemen
:
to
shunne
which
name
I
will
do
my
best
,
and
therefore
will
say
no
more
.

Of
Iustice
.
IN
all
,
I
in
them
whome
honour
and
good
opinion
haue
left
without
note
,
there
is
a
naturall
touch
of
iustice
,
they
cannot
determine
safetie
to
themselues
without
it
.
The
plant
of
a
particuler
preseruation
set
by
nature
,
becomes
after
the
tree
of
Iustice
in
the
soile
of
policie
:
the
first
regarde
giues
it
life
,
the
last
growthe
and
flourishing
;
selfe-loue
inuiting
him
to
loue
,
reason
making
his
loue
generall
.
When
the
world
in
his
greenest
time
laye
in
the
armes
of
ignorance
,
thus
much
was
knowne
;
they
then
measured
things
by
the
touch
,
and
sacrifized
themselues
to
experience
,
they
had
no
presidents
before
them
,
whose
diligent
obseruation
hath
giuen
power
to
these
last
begotten
ages
,
to
prophecie
of
euents
,
and
to
see
them
long
before
they
feele
them
.
It
was
then
but
rough
hewen
,
it
is
now
polisht
,
it
was
not
then
,
because
regarde
tooke
charge
but
of
one
,
it
is
now
,
because
their
loues
are
commixt
,
and
euery
one
ventures
in
the
barke
of
the
common
good
:
Thus
farre
,
of
Iustice
naturall
parentage
.
Her
other
side
is
diuine
,
euen
so
farre
fitting
the
constitution
of
men
;
as
he
of
a
soule
and
a
bodye
,
so
shee
of
proffit
and
honestie
.
The
other
that
would
beholde
nothing
with
that
care
that
himselfe
,
by
this
is
taught
to
regarde
a
more
noble
proffit
,
that
is
honestie
,
to
giue
euery
man
his
due
,
beeing
full
of
the
diuinitie
of
the
heauenly
nature
.
Profite
is
deuided
into
the
obteyning
peace
,
and
plentie
.
Peace
(
the
nourishing
warmthe
,
)
by
whose
rayes
,
states
stretch
out
their
armes
,
and
enioye
a
perpetuall
Summer
)
liues
not
without
the
nourishment
of
Iustice
,
and
by
Iustice
liues
without
the
dropsie
of
excesse
;
for
armes
are
taken
,
when
equitie
is
resisted
,
and
excesse
purged
by
discipline
▪
Different
are
the
courses
of
Iustice
,
betweene
the
offences
forreine
and
domestique
:
on
these
without
shee
must
smile
,
vppon
those
at
hoame
looke
plainlie
.
Standing
on
the
ranck
of
companions
,
they
must
be
perswaded
;
for
where
strengthes
are
equall
▪
it
is
safer
to
aduenture
the
wi●
,
then
those
forces
that
once
ouerthrowne
are
not
easily
repaired
.
Plentie
is
to
be
wished
and
sought
●fter
,
to
defend
forraigne
inuasions
,
and
to
eschewe
home
discontentments
;
for
the
name
of
power
is
the
best
oratour
to
perswade
peace
,
and
plentie
takes
away
the
vennom
incident
to
men
in
neede
,
for
there
is
noe
poyson
soe
stronge
and
fatall
to
a
state
,
as
to
haue
many
poore
.
To
the
supreame
and
highest
part
of
iustice
,
there
belongs
a
power
to
discorne
trueth
,
to
be
able
to
penetrate
into
the
secrete
and
couered
actions
of
men
,
after
to
goe
according
to
that
knowledge
free
from
partialitie
.
The
first
must
be
ioyned
to
an
honest
inclination
,
or
else
he
hath
but
one
eye
,
and
beeing
so
defectiue
,
is
meeter
to
obey
then
gouerne
,
he
may
doe
well
,
but
it
shall
bee
well
by
chaunce
:
a
compasse
too
vncertaine
for
Iustice
so
saile
by
.
This
knowledge
hath
two
lims
;
the
knowledge
of
the
lawes
,
the
knowledge
to
moderate
lawe
.
For
those
written
opinions
of
Iustice
,
are
often
so
enfeebled
by
time
,
or
construction
,
as
for
all
their
faire
precence
,
they
kill
insteed
of
curing
.
But
an
abilitie
to
beholde
things
ambiguous
with
the
true
fight
,
giues
the
time
,
the
persons
,
and
other
circumstances
,
leaue
to
expound
themselues
;
and
reconciles
the
exposition
of
the
law
and
question
,
by
boyling
them
together
in
the
fire
of
a
wise
vnderstanding
.
Partialitie
may
come
from
feare
,
loue
,
or
gaine
;
but
since
they
meete
in
the
disease
,
and
bring
foorth
all
one
sicknesse
,
it
shall
be
my
furthest
to
say
,
it
confounds
all
the
beautie
and
happinesse
of
societies
,
being
the
dissoluer
of
those
bands
and
fastnings
,
that
gaue
safetie
to
the
passengers
of
the
worlde
,
which
by
this
is
rent
in
peeces
,
and
the
whole
number
of
her
inhabitants
are
drowned
in
the
gulfe
of
calamitie
.
Essay

50.
Of
Flattery
,
Dissimulation
,
and
Lying
.
THere
is
hardly
a
fellow
,
though
he
can
minister
no
further
then
the
tooth-ake
,
but
will
giue
Antidotes
against
the
plague
.
I
would
they
could
finde
outsome
drug
,
or
drudges
fellowe
that
a
man
might
handle
vice
without
infection
.
I
desire
it
,
for
feare
the
drawing
this
picture
be
not
of
the
nature
of
ill
eyes
,
that
make
sound
,
ill
;
and
diuell
wise
labour
for
nothing
but
to
make
all
soules
leuell
with
them
.
I
must
confesse
I
am
the
veriest
bungler
at
this
flattery
that
euer
welded
tongue
;
and
not
hauing
natures
good-will
to
set
vp
,
I
haue
shunned
to
bee
prentise
to
it
,
because
I
regarde
nothing
(
that
exactes
not
regard
)
with
that
feruencie
,
that
I
doe
libertie
.
But
since
I
am
fallen
into
an
Inckpot
,
and
that
these
papers
I
vse
onely
to
make
me
cleane
,
I
will
speake
of
flattery
as
a
thing
that
I
haue
hard
spoken
of
,
but
was
neuer
acquainted
with
.
The
heart
is
the
tongues
maister
,
in
her
trauailes
she
vsed
this
instrument
for
interpreter
,
by
the
helpe
of
this
she
traffickes
with
the
world
,
and
trauailes
thorow
the
sundry
regions
of
dispositions
.
All
this
time
it
is
well
,
but
now
when
the
thoughtes
goe
east
,
and
tongue
west
,
there
s
the
disease
.
This
is
plainely
sprung
from
a
fainte
harted
cowardise
,
that
is
the
head
of
this
pudle
,
and
from
that
head
come
these
three
,
Flatterie
,
dissimulation
,
and
lying
.
Plutarch
saith
that
the
flattered
haue
the
disease
of
ouerliking
or
else
they
could
neuer
bee
surprised
;
&
I
thinke
so
to
,
for
an
exact
,
and
stricte
Iudge
of
himselfe
smells
the
straight
.
It
is
the
false
reflection
of
our
one
thoughtes
that
abuseth
vs
.
What
neede
then
haue
they
(
that
desire
not
to
mend
,
but
paint
ouer
their
constitutions
)
to
hire
any
other
workeman
saue
their
owne
sweete
imaginations
certainely
they
neede
not
,
except
they
desire
witnesses
of
their
follie
,
and
so
call
in
those
breath-sellers
,
and
perfumers
.
A
people
certainelye
that
earnd
their
fauorers
dearely
,
being
the
basest
,
and
most
groueling
mindes
that
it
is
possible
for
the
honest
imagination
to
descend
to
,
that
suffer
gaine
to
transforme
them
into
all
shapes
,
looke
how
you
will
,
if
you
will
,
he
will
looke
like
you
;
doe
what
you
will
,
and
warrant
him
that
he
shal
not
be
called
to
an
account
before
the
generall
account
,
he
will
do
it
,
shall
I
make
an
end
of
this
pcture
quickly
?
They
are
creatures
that
will
not
spend
a
drop
of
loue
vpon
any
but
themselues
,
they
are
creatures
that
haue
no
other
god
but
pleasure
,
&
haue
sold
their
soules
for
clothes
,
&
meate
,
and
countinance
,
not
natures
children
,
but
dame
Needs
and
base
desires
.
The
subiect
of
this
venom
,
that
hath
eyes
,
and
yet
seeth
not
,
is
in
a
worse
state
,
for
besides
that
he
is
a
looser
by
time
,
by
whom
discreation
in
spight
of
his
hart
is
a
gainer
;
(
for
wisedome
is
more
precious
then
youth
)
hee
looseth
the
vse
of
himselfe
,
for
he
can
not
goe
without
his
trumpeter
,
a
counterfeit
fame
.
Hee
groweth
dull
if
he
bee
not
hourely
new
whetted
by
his
flatterrer
,
out
of
countenaunce
if
he
borrowes
not
the
tongue
of
men
to
goe
a
iourney
of
his
praise
;
in
a
worde
,
a
substaunce
that
fetcheth
his
merit●
from
the
shaddow
of
vaine
glory
;
and
a
lasie
worke
man
that
cals
for
his
hire
,
before
he
hath
begunne
his
worke
.
But
to
make
this
monster
more
portable
,
it
is
best
to
cut
him
into
seuerall
peeces
.
There
is
a
selfe
flatterrer
,
a
flatterrer
of
others
in
hope
of
gaine
,
flatterrers
by
exchange
;
then
,
flattery
for
Princes
,
for
the
vulgar
,
for
rich
men
.
The
most
subiect
to
selfe
flatterie
,
are
schollers
before
they
arfledge
;
for
there
is
no
such
cherisher
of
the
imagination
as
are
letters
,
this
proceedes
from
a
little
wit
and
no
iudgement
.
They
are
like
beggars
that
a
smal
sum
makes
in
opinion
infinitly
rich
;
but
time
recouers
them
from
the
most
part
,
for
either
they
are
not
worthy
to
beare
that
litle
,
or
else
they
betray
not
their
riper
yeres
to
this
enemie
of
reformation
.
Sometimes
meaner
professions
get
it
,
but
it
is
seldome
,
except
they
be
rich
,
and
the
rich
commonly
keepe
seruauntes
,
which
besides
their
other
offices
,
may
now
and
than
scratch
their
maisters
itching
mindes
,
and
not
leaue
the
burden
onely
to
himselfe
.
Nil
habet
in
faelix
paupertas
durims
in
se
Quam
quod
ridiculos
homines
facit
.
These
giue
their
vices
names
not
odious
,
and
then
looke
vpon
them
for
the
essentiall
parts
of
vertue
;
th'
easiest
reasons
that
can
be
are
by
them
receiued
,
not
looking
into
the
reason
,
but
whether
their
reason
be
content
to
alow
of
their
courses
.
The
next
that
are
not
borne
fit
for
the
intertainement
of
this
ambition
of
the
halfe
blood
,
worke
iorney
worke
,
and
giue
an
other
the
ware
,
and
trust
themselues
onely
to
their
●ite
;
they
extoll
,
and
commend
all
,
their
shall
not
be
so
vilde
a
weede
belonging
to
Macenas
that
he
giues
not
excellent
qualities
to
,
and
gildes
not
ouer
as
trim
as
a
Brides
rosemary
.
Si
beneructabit
,
si

am●●us
.
Si
trulla
inverso

.
But
who
would
be
content
to
draw
such
vile
formes
?
had
I
not
made
a
match
with
the
world
that
I
would
not
spare
any
part
of
her
crackt
inhabitants
I
would
euen
here
begin
to
repent
with
ending
,
but
I
haue
promised
and
will
through
;
And
because
I
loue
to
suffer
as
well
as
execute
,
I
haue
written
;
let
them
take
my
papers
,
and
doe
with
them
what
they
will
.
Sufferances
of
some
kinde
are
holesomer
then
reuenge
.
Now
the
last
are
like
horses
that
rub
one
another
by
consent
,
not
so
able
as
willing
to
maintaine
a
flatterer
;
they
admire
one
another
and
dame
vp
their
wants
with
a
mutuall
seruice
;
he
calls
him
wise
,
the
other
him
valiant
,
he
sweares
,
the
other
sweares
,
and
so
ouercome
with
the
opinion
of
their
plot
,
they
passe
assemblies
,
increasing
the
number
of
their
follies
,
not
praises
.
Easily
can-not
soueraigntie
distinguish
betweene
humility
,
and
flattery
;
for
subiects
that
ought
to
prostrate
themselues
in
the
lowest
kinde
to
make
their
speaches
follow
full
of
reuerence
and
respect
,
haue
vnder
this
a
fit
opportunity
to
couer
flattery
,
but
the
paying
their
duties
is
not
.
When
one
comes
more
particularly
&
personally
on
,
is
the
danger
of
which
Princes
must
be
so
carefull
,
as
of
procuring
an
enemie
that
can
strike
him
and
goe
inuisible
.
The
vulgar
that
build
vpon
the
breathes
of
one
another
,
and
know
no
more
how
to
examine
,
then
to
loue
constantly
,
are
like
an
after
game
at
Irish
,
that
is
wonne
and
lost
diuers
times
in
an
instant
,
they
are
vnmethodicall
,
hardly
to
be
caught
by
one
forme
,
any
in
truth
wil
do
it
.
Speak
them
faire
,
and
begin
,
courteous
reader
,
if
you
speake
brethren
&
companions
of
my
fortune
,
if
you
will
say
,
gentlemen
,
it
may
doe
well
,
for
a
pesant
reading
it
will
thinke
you
meant
him
.
Amiable
lookes
and
faire
wordes
will
goe
farre
in●●igh
,
flattery
of
the
coursest
kinde
will
serue
them
,
being
won
commonly
more
by
lucke
then
cunning
.
Dissimulation
is
more
tollerable
;
in
some
courses
necessarie
,
as
if
a
man
be
fallen
vpon
a
wife
that
he
cannot
loue
,
yet
he
must
vse
her
well
,
and
if
he
cannot
performe
the
expresse
commaundement
,
yet
at
least
to
come
as
neare
as
he
can
.
Other
times
it
may
come
very
neare
honestie
to
dissemble
a
mans
intentions
,
as
in
cases
of
reuenge
,
where
it
giues
a
pause
,
and
that
pause
makes
roome
for
consideration
,
that
in
the
heate
of
bloud
is
euer
denied
audience
;
and
if
it
neuer
come
to
that
perfection
,
yet
it
makes
oportunitie
of
his
counsell
,
who
fashions
a
reuenge
that
he
may
be
a
sauer
by
.
This
dissimulation
is
a
very
pretty
workeman
,
and
not
so
base
minded
as
flatterie
,
he
cals
not
night
,
day
:
nor
badde
,
good
:
but
is
a
skilfull
manager
of
time
and
beares
himselfe
as
cunningly
,
and
as
warmly
as
the
sunne
when
he
ouercame
the
wind
in
maister
Esops
moral
.
Lying
(
the
refuge
of
runnagates
)
and
the
ingrossers
of
vices
of
the
meanest
price
,
are
so
hardened
by
the
continuall
hammering
of
some
beastly
humor
,
as
they
looke
not
so
much
as
vpon
a
probabilitie
,
but
beate
away
repentance
,
and
remorce
,
with
palpable
vntruthes
.
There
is
another
kinde
of
people
,
that
builde
a
certaine
reputation
with
beeing
the
Chronicle●s
of
vncredible
relations
,
maruailes
impossible
to
swallow
without
faith
.
The
vanitie
of
these
is
impardonable
,
giuing
precious
truth
,
for
base
leasings
.
One
more
there
that
tell
vntruths
,
and
yet
are
preserued
from
lying
,
by
the
aedequation
betweene
their
tongue
and
heart
,
these
are
onely
hurtfull
to
〈…〉
suffering
in
themselves
〈…〉
the
imputation
of
rashe
ignorance
.
For
all
my
disallowance
〈…〉
,
I
am
not
so
nice
,
that
(
if
I
had
anything
about
me
worthe
the
praising
)
I
would
not
be
content
to
haue
it
allowed
,
I
to
my
face
allowed
.
I
would
be
content
,
euen
my selfe
I
thinke
might
speake
it
without
ostentation
,
for
truthe
is
truthe
,
in
spight
of
customes
hart
.
But
I
am
not
furnished
with
a
strength
able
to
ouercome
this
receiued
opinion
,
and
for
mine
owne
parte
I
like
it
well
,
and
so
doe
more
;
for
our
weakenesse
is
concealed
,
because
the
disco●erie
of
a
mans
owne
vertue
is
called
arrogancie
.
