The
Wals
,
Foundations
,
and
remains
of
the
ruines
of
that
famous
Temple
of
Honour
,
into
which
the
entrance
was
only
through
the
Door
of
Desert
,
are
now-a-dayes
so
demolished
,
and
interr'd
in
rubbish
,
that
there
doth
not
remain
to
memory
so
much
as
the
place
where
it
stood
;
nor
the
hope
of
raising
it
from
the
contempt
of
its
present
ruins
,
to
the
glory
of
its
passed
grandure
.
Therefore
though
now
Vertue
striveth
to
ascend
,
it
doth
not
increase
at
all
:
like
certain
stars
neer
the
Antarctick
Pole
,
which
having
had
sixty
ages
of
continual
revolution
,
yet
have
reaped
so
little
profit
from
their
tedious
travaile
,
as
that
they
have
not
atteined
to
so
much
as
a
visible
Ascension
above
our
Horizon
.
The
Mountains
which
are
gravid
with
Golden
Ore
,
use
not
to
afford
either
Groves
for
delight
,
or
herbs
for
food
:
Naught
appears
upon
them
but
barren
cinders
,
and
sterile
sands
;
through
which
as
bones
,
they
discover
huge
stones
,
possessing
a
certain
shameful
nudity
,
so
that
it
would
reflect
as
a
disgrace
upon
other
Hills
embroidered
with
herbs
,
and
beautified
with
trees
,
to
be
put
in
competition
with
them
.
This
is
the
miserable
lot
of
Vertue
in
the
World
.
By
its
Golden
veins
inclosed
in
its
bowels
,
it
is
rendred
as
poor
without
,
as
it
is
rich
within
.
And
yet
she
proveth
this
verity
,
that
Vertue
and
Nakednesse
are
Twins
,
born
together
at
one
birth
,
in
the
Terrestial
Paradise
,
and
were
never
since
separated
and
divided
from
one
another
.
The
Garments
of
the
body
are
more
honoured
than
the
vertuous
habits
of
the
minde
;
it
pro●iteth
not
to
have
Sapience
and
Goodnesse
in
the
brest
as
orient
pearls
,
for
if
your
poor
clothes
make
you
seem
a
contemptible
shell
of
Mother
pearl
,
there
's
few
will
look
on
you
,
and
fewer
esteem
you
.
All
this
holdeth
true
aswell
in
Learning
as
in
Vertue
;
for
it
also
,
as
born
under
the
same
Ascendant
,
hath
it
for
its
fate
:
To
it
all
favours
are
Retrograde
,
all
Benefactors
absent
,
all
the
Aspects
full
of
disrespect
;
and
the
course
of
Fortune
every
way
unfortunate
.
Now-a-dayes
is
reputed
amongst
Miracles
,
Alexander
Severus
to
cover
a
Ulpian
Professor
of
the
Law
with
his
Royal
Mantle
,
and
to
make
his
Imperial
Purple
a
Robe
to
honour
,
and
a
shield
to
defend
him
.
A
Justinian
,
a
Sigismond
Emperours
,
and
some
others
like
them
,
to
make
their
Courts
Academies
,
and
to
frequent
Academies
as
their
Courts
;
holding
dear
the
mortal
life
of
those
,
from
whom
they
receive
in
recompence
,
an
immortal
life
of
their
Name
and
Glory
to
Posterity
.
These
once
so
fruitful
trees
,
are
now
become
barren
;
affording
neither
fruit
to
feed
them
,
nor
shadow
to
comfort
them
,
in
the
Courts
of
Princes
,
more
than
in
the
Cave
of
Aeolus
;
there
are
kept
under
lock
and
key
those
Zephirusses
fathers
of
Fecundity
,
and
Winds
proper
to
the
Golden
age
;
nor
only
is
the
Custom
lost
,
that
Penes
Sapientis
Regnum
sit
,
which
Possido●ius
said
,
Penes
Reges
sint
Sapientes
.
Nor
because
the
Books
of
learned
men
chance
sometimes
to
be
read
of
Grandees
,
and
exact
from
them
prayse
and
commendation
,
must
it
therefore
follow
that
the
civil
entertainment
and
honours
they
meet
withal
,
should
reflect
on
the
Authors
;
which
is
just
as
Lactantius
saith
in
another
case
:
They
adore
the
Images
of
the
Gods
,
but
care
not
for
the
Arti●icers
that
engraved
them
,
they
offer
gifts
to
the
Statues
,
and
exact
tribute
of
the
Statuary's
,
they
honour
the
Stones
as
Divinities
,
and
tramle
on
those
that
formed
them
,
Fortunate
Princes
(
saith
a
great
Duke
of
Millan
)
have
Nets
of
Gold
and
Purple
,
wherewith
they
sith
for
men
of
great
wisdom
and
worth
,
which
are
the
preciousest
pearls
that
Heaven
can
bestow
on
Mortals
;
they
have
wealth
wherewith
to
purchase
Wits
exellent
in
every
Profession
of
Learning
,
a
Merchandise
only
worthy
of
Princes
.
Famous
is
the
foolishnesse
of
a
poor
rich
man
,
who
knowing
himself
to
be
an
Owle
,
and
desiring
to
become
an
Eagle
,
gave
a
great
summe
of
money
for
the
Lanthorn
by
whose
divine
light
Epictetus
watching
,
became
a
Sunne
of
Moral
Prudence
.
A
Lanthorn
its
true
,
might
give
light
to
the
paper
,
but
not
to
the
unstanding
,
might
give
light
to
the
eyes
,
but
with
what
profit
to
the
Student
if
the
mind
be
blind
?
Living
Scholars
are
living
Lanthorns
,
by
the
beams
of
whose
radient
lustre
are
discovered
the
features
of
Pallas
,
Conservatrix
of
States
,
and
Patronesse
of
Princes
:
These
are
the
eyes
of
which
that
is
verified
,
which
was
falsly
reported
of
those
of
the
Gorgons
,
that
they
could
lend
them
to
one
another
;
and
with
these
a
blind
Prince
may
become
a
Hundred-eyed
-
Argos
,
all
eye
:
Nor
ought
they
to
be
lesse
,
if
the
Aphorisme
hold
true
in
peace
,
which
is
read
in
Vigetius
,
concerning
matters
of
Warre
.
Neque
quenquam
magis
decet
,
Before
that
King
Dionysius
would
understand
this
,
more
for
scorn
then
curiosity
,
he
demanded
of
Aristippus
whence
it
was
that
Phylosophers
went
to
rich
mens
houses
to
beg
a
livelihood
,
and
the
rich
went
not
to
the
houses
of
Phylosophers
to
get
Wisdom
;
That
men
of
great
learning
are
not
born
,
but
only
as
the
Phoenix
,
one
in
five
hundred
years
:
that
there
are
not
some
who
inrich
the
World
with
new
inventions
in
Letters
and
Arts
;
is
not
because
the
Ages
are
grown
barren
,
or
the
places
unfruitful
in
Wits
:
The
fault
lyeth
in
great
part
upon
them
who
open
not
the
Port
to
them
that
would
launch
out
,
nor
shew
the
lure
to
him
that
flyeth
;
for
there
wants
not
some
Minds
with
great
Wings
,
and
Wits
with
large
Sails
.
He
had
proved
the
same
who
said
,
The
Poets
and
the
Studious
are
few
;
(
lack
,
And
when
these
beasts
both
food
and
Covert
They
then
their
place
of
feeding
do
renew
.
That
there
are
not
some
with
the
noise
of
whose
great
Wisdom
,
Fame
should
make
the
World
ring
,
and
strike
it
into
dumb
astonishment
,
it
is
the
fault
of
great
men
,
which
contrive
not
their
Theaters
with
that
advice
,
To
passe
the
terms
of
ordinary
in
any
profession
,
and
to
attein
to
those
of
excellent
,
is
a
task
hard
enough
to
require
,
and
long
enough
to
take
up
our
whole
lives
;
Now
what
wonder
is
it
,
if
there
be
none
that
will
spend
so
much
to
gain
nothing
,
consuming
thir
lives
,
and
yet
to
get
no
more
than
a
sufficiency
wherewith
to
maintein
them
alive
.
Well-rigged-vessels
farre
excel
others
in
velocity
;
and
being
well
calked
,
surpasse
themselves
,
so
that
those
which
before
moved
dully
,
and
as
it
were
against
their
wills
,
are
now
so
yarre
,
that
they
rather
seem
to
flie
,
then
sail
.
Favours
infuse
wit
even
into
the
ingenious
themselves
;
and
where
the
fraught
is
a
Golden
Fleece
,
the
Oares
,
as
it
was
with
Argo
,
move
alone
.
Finally
,
for
Students
to
be
forced
to
dispute
every
day
with
poverty
,
to
contrast
every
hour
with
her
miseries
,
to
divide
their
thoughts
into
a
thousand
several
places
,
whither
their
necessities
call
them
;
these
are
thorns
,
in
which
Learning
makes
not
her
nest
.
He
that
will
have
his
bees
gather
honey
,
must
not
expose
them
to
the
violence
of
the
winds
:
for
where
these
have
too
much
power
,
those
have
none
at
all
.
In
their
flight
from
their
hive
to
the
flowers
,
and
from
one
flower
to
an
other
,
in
their
return
with
the
prey
the
winds
if
impetuous
,
drive
them
out
of
their
way
,
and
transport
them
elswhere
.
Such
are
the
thoughts
of
Scholars
,
for
where
other
cares
distract
them
,
they
can
perfect
no
excellent
work
they
undertake
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
how
can
these
two
consist
together
,
to
perplex
the
brain
about
maintenance
,
and
imploy
it
in
study
?
Therefore
well
said
he
who
ever
he
was
,
and
it
holds
not
true
of
Poets
only
,
but
of
all
the
Learned
.
Soft
nests
,
sweet
food
,
and
temperate
gales
of
aire
,
The
Swans
desire
;
And
none
with
pinching
care
Come
neer
Pernassus
,
and
who
still
do
chant
On
nothing
but
their
destiny
and
want
,
Lose
time
and
speech
,
and
so
grow
hoarse
at
last
,
&c.
Demosthenes
told
the
Athenians
that
it
was
an
indecent
sight
to
see
the
sacred
Gally
Paralos
formerly
used
only
in
the
interests
of
Religion
,
The
thoughts
of
such
wander
so
from
the
course
of
their
begun
speculations
,
breaking
off
where
necessity
importunately
calleth
them
;
that
they
either
very
much
lose
the
thread
of
their
design
,
or
else
arrive
not
half
way
to
their
Journeys
end
;
like
that
nimble
footed
Atalanta
,
which
by
going
too
much
out
of
the
way
to
take
up
Hippomanes
Golden
Balls
,
was
cast
so
farre
behind
,
as
that
she
was
farre
out-gone
in
the
end
.

Hence
the
Satyrical
Poet
was
so
displeased
with
the
House
of
Numitor
,
and
under
this
name
with
all
the
Courts
of
his
time
,
seeing
that
beasts
had
place
and
being
where
men
,
and
(
if
it
be
lawful
to
say
it
,
)
more
than
men
found
it
not
;
for
there
wanted
not
meat
to
fill
the
paunch
of
a
voracious
Lion
day
by
day
;
and
yet
there
was
not
bread
to
satisfie
the
hunger
of
one
meager
Poet.
—
Non

That
Courts
become
Temples
where
in
Fools
are
adored
,
and
Buffoons
honoured
,
whiles
the
Learned
in
the
meantime
are
banished
;
what
is
this
but
onely
to
give
to
beasts
all
the
Stars
from
the
more
bright
to
the
lesse
clear
,
and
to
distribute
the
ample
Canopy
of
Heaven
amongst
them
;
thence
burying
the
Elyzians
under
ground
,
and
make
them
border
on
Hell
;
So
that
a
Scorpion
,
a
Dogge
,
a
Hydra
,
a
Goat
,
a
Bull
,
are
advanced
over
the
heads
of
all
with
names
of
Celestial
Signes
,
and
an
Achilles
,
an
Orpheus
,
and
all
the
Chorus
of
Demi-gods
are
placed
under
feet
;
The
Beasts
to
be
gilded
with
the
light
of
Sols
rayes
,
the
men
to
be
smeared
by
the
smoak
of
Pluto's
Kingdom
.
Seeing
the
head
,
the
Seat
of
the
understanding
,
and
therefore
only
worthy
of
a
Crown
,
was
placed
by
Nature
above
all
the
other
members
,
that
so
they
all
as
vassals
should
support
it
their
King
:
Now
,
how
is
it
,
that
the
feet
are
exalted
aloft
,
and
the
head
laid
in
the
dust
?
That
there
should
be
some
who
in
a
brave
,
as
out
of
a
super-humane
Vertue
,
bear
like
the
famous
Milo
,
a
great
Oxe
upon
their
shoulders
,
whilst
in
the
mean-time
poor
Cleanthes
that
he
might
live
like
a
man
,
was
forc't
to
labour
like
a
beast
?
But
having
designed
to
begin
this
Tractate
from
the
peculiar
felicity
of
a
Scholar
,
shewing
that
even
then
when
he
wants
all
things
,
he
is
satisfied
and
happy
only
in
himself
,
and
(
as
Seneca
calls
him
)
a
little
Jupiter
;
what
I
have
done
hitherto
exaggerating
in
the
parsimonious
unworthinesse
of
such
as
do
not
relieve
and
respect
him
,
the
need
he
stands
in
of
relief
and
respect
?
Howbeit
I
have
thereby
more
discovered
the
crime
of
such
who
regard
him
not
,
then
any
misery
in
him
through
his
being
disregarded
.
For
(
to
conclude
)
Gold
,
although
digged
from
the
dirt
and
stones
,
amongst
which
it
lies
buried
in
the
mines
,
would
appear
more
splendid
;
yet
he
is
infinitely
more
the
loser
,
who
doth
not
dig
and
make
it
his
own
,
then
it
by
being
undiscovered
and
un-appropriated
.
And
again
,
in
the
crime
of
them
that
esteem
not
the
Learned
,
their
merit
is
proved
,
since
their
advancement
is
demerited
,
and
the
not
honouring
them
is
a
crime
.
Now
let
us
see
how
a
learned
man
may
find
within
himself
the
lively
source
of
that
famous
Nectar
of
the
Gods
,
which
having
only
in
it self
all
other
tastes
,
he
need
not
seek
,
nor
enjoy
any
other
.
This
is
the
Essay
of
Understanding
,
the
which
how
copious
it
is
,
although
it
may
be
manifested
in
the
subject
of
all
the
Sciences
,
(
but
you
may
esteem
that
too
prolix
and
troublesome
;
)
I
have
thought
good
for
a
taste
of
the
rest
,
to
glance
at
it
in
one
alone
,
not
of
the
best
,
but
of
the
most
familiar
;
and
it
is
the
knowledge
and
contemplation
of
the
Heavens
,
a
part
of
Nature
;
if
we
stand
upon
the
judgement
of
the
Eye
,
the
most
ample
and
amiable
;
if
of
the
Mind
,
not
the
last
amongst
the
best
.
An
Essay
of
Vnderstanding
Dissplayed
for
a
taste
of
the
other
Sciences
,
in
the
onely
Contemplation
of
the
Heavens
.
THe
common
Assertion
of
the
two
most
renowmed
Schools
of
Pithagoras
and
Plato
is
,
That
the
Celestial
Spheres
increasing
one
above
another
with
measures
of
Harmonical
proportion
;
in
the
revolutions
tbat
they
make
,
compose
the
Con●ort
of
a
most
perfect
Musick
.
Macrobius
renderth
the
reason
drawn
from
the
natural
principles
of
Sound
;
Th'
Heaven
's
not
mute
,
as
is
believ'd
by
some
,
But
we
are
deaf
;
and
to
our
ears
doth
come
The
Earths
harsh
croaking
,
which
the
same
doth
stop
,
Amongst
whose
dissonants
in
vain
we
hope
T'
aspire
to
th'
Heavenly
Harps
sweet
harmony
,
Touch't
by
the
hand
of
Delos
Diety
.
If
it
were
not
as
Philo
advertiseth
,
that
God
reserving
for
us
to
a
better
time
,
so
sweet
a
gust
of
Musick
,
had
with
a
particular
Providence
,
in
such
manner
by
it
deafned
,
and
dislocated
our
audible
faculties
,
otherwise
suspended
,
extacis'd
,
and
ravished
out
of
our selves
by
the
harmony
of
those
most
Regular
Bodies
,
we
should
not
only
grow
carelesse
of
cultivating
the
earth
,
and
remisse
in
the
affairs
of
civil
life
,
but
in
the
end
forget
our selves
:
But
to
say
the
truth
,
to
comprehend
in
the
Heavens
,
the
melody
of
a
ravishing
harmony
,
and
to
enjoy
therewith
above
:
a
delight
able
to
make
one
almost
Angelical
,
it
is
not
necessary
to
desire
that
the
Musick
of
those
harmonical
Spheres
(
Spheres
they
are
called
by
them
who
will
not
grant
that
they
be
,
as
notwithstanding
they
are
all
one
sole
and
liquid
Heaven
)
do
approach
the
ears
.
Neverthelesse
our
mind
may
be
thereby
blessed
,
following
with
the
flight
of
its
thoughts
,
not
as
some
do
Poetry
,
a
lying
inventor
of
fables
,
which
leading
us
through
the
vasts
of
Heaven
,
saith
to
us
,
here
Phaeto●
more
bold
then
cautions
.
Ausus
aeternos
agitare
currus
,
Here
fell
Vulcan
,
and
the
measuring
with
one
irregular
step
all
the
voyage
from
heaven
to
earth
,
by
great
chance
,
cost
him
no
more
then
the
wrenching
of
a
foot
.
This
slippery
part
of
Heaven
,
is
the
great
breach
which
the
Giants
of
Fl●gra
did
make
in
the
battery
they
gave
to
the
stars
,
when
the
earth
of
thunder-stricken
became
thunder-striker
.
Here
is
Hercules
,
here
Prometheus
,
here
Bellerophon
,
and
I
know
not
who
:
But
that
part
of
the
more
Noble
Sciences
,
(
which
is
the
true
Interpreter
of
mysteries
,
and
Secretary
of
the
most
hidden
things
of
the
heavens
;
)
which
doth
unvail
the
eyes
,
and
make
them
see
how
they
be
in
a
masse
so
vast
,
and
yet
so
light
in
motion
;
in
influences
so
discordant
,
and
yet
in
the
maintenance
of
nature
so
united
;
in
the
revolutions
they
make
some
so
slow
,
and
others
so
swift
,
and
yet
all
to
the
time
,
and
almost
in
one
and
the
same
dance
accord
,
in
obedience
to
the
first
mover
so
strict
,
and
in
the
liberty
of
their
proper
motions
so
free
,
so
splendid
,
and
so
profound
;
so
uniform
,
and
so
various
;
so
majestick
,
and
so
amiable
.
Violent
with
so
many
Laws
,
busied
with
so
much
quietnesse
;
in
the
measure
of
times
,
in
the
succession
of
daies
,
in
the
changes
of
seasons
,
so
consortial
,
He
who
hath
eyes
to
see
so
much
,
he
it
is
that
knows
how
to
make
a
Ladder
to
climb
to
the
sight
of
much
more
;
He
who
by
the
long
chain
of
these
coelestial
natures
(
of
which
the
last
link
is
fastned
to
the
foot
of
the
Throne
of
Jove
)
can
climb
even
to
the
Archetype
forms
,
and
to
the
Idea's
of
the
first
mind
,
from
whose
invariable
design
are
took
the
weights
,
numbers
and
measures
,
as
instruments
of
the
work
of
this
great
order
of
Nature
:
He
which
knows
how
to
understand
the
high
Wisdom
of
him
,
who
in
such
variety
of
mutations
,
keeps
stedfast
the
course
of
an
immutable
Providence
,
while
he
knew
how
to
give
an
occult
order
to
the
manifest
disorder
of
so
many
effects
,
concatinating
them
with
indissoluble
knots
to
his
intended
ends
:
So
that
those
which
seem
casual
events
of
chance
,
are
executions
of
a
most
regular
Providence
;
he
that
hath
a
sight
for
objects
of
so
high
a
cognition
,
is
he
not
with
it
alone
more
blessed
then
others
in
all
their
sensual
enjoyments
?
That
great
Platonick
Philo
Alexandrinus
gave
credit
to
it
,
when
he
said
for
proof
of
it
.
To
whom
these
shall
seem
rather
flourishes
of
art
,
then
real
verity
,
and
being
un-experienced
,
should
be
so
much
the
lesse
credible
.
I
know
not
how
to
give
a
better
answer
then
that
which
was
merited
from
Nicostratus
,
by
a
man
little
knowing
,
and
lesse
credulous
of
the
beauty
of
a
picture
.
Non
in
terrogares
me
,
si
meos
oculos
haberes
.
Behold
,
the
very
same
falls
out
to
him
who
wondereth
,
how
in
beholding
that
goodly
face
of
Nature
,
the
Heavens
,
in
which
God
,
as
much
as
the
matter
was
capable
,
did
design
,
(
copying
them
from
himself
,
)
lineaments
of
so
rare
beauties
;
we
can
find
matter
of
such
delight
,
as
to
swallow
our
wits
,
extacise
our
thoughts
,
and
blesse
our
minds
.
All
behold
Heaven
,
but
all
understand
it
not
;
and
between
him
that
understandeth
it
,
and
him
that
doth
not
,
there
is
the
same
difference
that
is
between
two
,
of
which
one
,
in
a
writing
in
Arabick
,
ruled
with
gold
,
and
written
with
azure
,
sees
nothing
but
the
workmanship
of
well-composed
characters
;
the
other
moreover
doth
read
the
periods
,
and
understand
the
sense
,
so
that
the
least
of
the
pleasure
that
he
enjoyes
,
is
that
of
the
eyes
.
But
although
the
gust
of
the
understanding
is
as
the
sweetnesse
of
honey
,
which
to
perswade
,
the
endeavours
of
a
long
discourse
are
not
so
efficacious
,
as
the
simple
proof
of
tasting
one
drop
;
neverthelesse
,
I
think
good
to
make
you
hear
most
moral
Seneca
,
where
he
declareth
,
what
was
the
content
which
he
found
in
contemplating
the
Heavens
,
whilst
he
conceiveth
there
above
spirits
,
contemners
of
the
world
;
spirits
more
than
humane
.
Hear
him
:
Imagine
(
saith
he
)
that
you
were
ascended
to
the
highest
sphere
of
the
Heavens
,
Saturn
,
Jupiter
and
Mars
,
turn
themselves
in
their
several
Revolutions
,
and
under
them
each
of
the
other
Planets
to
run
their
periods
.
There
you
behold
the
immensurable
masse
of
bodies
,
the
unparallel'd
velocity
of
their
course
,
the
numberlesse
number
of
the
stars
,
which
here
scarce
seems
sparks
to
you
;
and
there
,
are
worlds
of
light
,
and
no
lesse
then
so
many
Suns
.
Thence
with
eyes
sated
with
the
greatnesse
of
those
spaces
,
and
of
the
mass
of
those
vast
bodies
,
look
down
to
this
center
of
the
World
,
and
seek
about
it
for
the
earth
.
If
you
were
able
to
see
it
,
it
would
appear
so
little
to
one
that
looks
upon
it
from
the
stars
,
that
it
would
be
necessary
that
you
sharpen
your
quickest
eye
,
and
you
would
desire
that
some
Syderial
Nuntio
would
help
your
sight
.
What
from
hence
below
seemed
the
smallest
of
the
starres
,
so
that
the
dubious
eye
knew
not
if
he
saw
it
,
or
thought
he
saw
it
:
such
from
thence
above
the
earth
appeareth
to
you
;
so
that
at
such
a
sight
you
would
say
,
That
then
below
,
which
I
scarce
perceive
,
which
I
scarce
discern
with
my
eye
,
is
that
the
earth
?
Is
that
that
point
divided
into
so
many
Provinces
,
subdivided
into
so
many
Kingdomes
,
for
which
we
rob
one
another
,
for
to
get
which
,
are
invented
in
so
great
abundance
,
both
Arts
and
Arms
to
kill
one
another
?
sieges
,
assaults
,
conflagrations
,
batteries
,
pitcht
fields
,
subversions
of
whole
Nations
made
in
a
little
time
,
which
so
oft
hath
made
Widow'd
Nature
weep
,
infecting
the
ayr
with
the
stench
of
the
putrified
carkasses
,
and
sometimes
damming
up
rivers
,
sometimes
vermiliating
the
Sea
with
great
numbers
of
dead
men
,
with
great
abundance
of
humane
bloud
.
Hear
ye
the
incredible
wonders
of
humane
madnesse
?
Our
vastest
desires
are
lost
in
a
point
.
What
,
said
I
in
a
point
?
in
the
least
particle
of
a
point
.
What
would
the
Ants
do
more
if
they
had
reason
?
Would
not
also
they
sub-divide
a
handful
of
earth
into
many
Provinces
?
Would
they
not
set
their
obstinate
bounds
so
,
that
they
would
not
yield
in
the
least
to
thundring
Jupiter
himself
?
Would
they
not
found
in
a
spot
of
ground
a
Kingdome
,
in
a
little
field
a
great
Monarchy
;
a
little
rivolet
of
water
would
be
to
them
a
Nile
,
a
ditch
they
would
call
an
Ocean
,
a
stone
as
big
as
ones
hand
,
they
would
stile
a
great
rock
,
a
Farm
would
be
no
lesse
than
a
World
:
They
would
also
raise
Bulwarks
and
Curtains
to
secure
their
States
,
they
would
leavy
Armies
in
hopes
of
new
conquests
,
and
we
should
see
in
the
space
of
two
foot
of
ground
,
squadrons
march
in
order
,
with
colours
display'd
against
the
black
Ants
,
as
enemies
,
charging
them
with
boldnesse
,
justling
them
,
routing
them
,
and
some
to
return
,
the
day
being
won
,
victorious
;
others
either
to
surrender
upon
articles
,
or
flying
,
hide
themselves
,
or
dying
,
bide
the
fury
of
their
inraged
enemies
,
and
become
booty
.
Such
a
war
between
twenty
or
more
thousands
of
Ants
,
undertaken
to
dispute
the
pretentions
to
a
handful
of
earth
,
only
to
think
of
it
would
make
us
laugh
;
and
we
,
what
other
do
,
we
do
,
sub-dividing
a
point
into
so
many
Kingdomes
,
and
destroying
one
another
to
inlarge
them
?

You
chalk
out
Kingdomes
,

assign
them
bounds
,
And
measures
,
by
the
marks
of
bloud

;
And
yet
herein
you
greatest

In
that

,
you
let
all
go

The

so
cares
T'
appropriate

divides

All

All

one
house
,
from
th'
Center

And
in
this
house
w'
have
all
propriety
.
Come
and
see
from
hence
above
your
earth
,
look
out
for
your
Kingdomes
,
and
measure
how
much
that
is
from
whence
you
take
the
titles
of
Grandees
.
See
you
your
small
particle
of
a
point
,
if
a
point
may
admit
of
being
seen
?
And
is
this
that
which
makes
you
go
so
stately
?
Come
up
to
the
starres
,
not
to
see
only
,
but
to
possesse
,
if
you
will
,
a
Kingdome
equal
to
your
desire
of
raigning
:
Nor
shall
you
have
any
to
strive
with
about
bounds
,
possessing
all
;
nor
shall
you
need
to
fear
that
any
will
thrust
you
out
of
it
,
since
that
being
possest
by
many
,
yet
it
can
be
taken
from
none
.

What
greater
enjoyment
,
then
to
gain
so
generous
spirits
,
and
so
noble
intelligences
?
Alexander
accustomed
to
the
great
victories
of
Asia
,
when
he
received
advice
from
Greece
of
some
Martial
act
,
or
conquest
,
(
which
was
at
most
of
a
Castle
,
or
of
some
petty
City
)
he
was
wont
to
say
,
That
he
thought
he
heard
the
news
of
the
military
successes
between
the
frogs
and
the
mice
of
Homer
.
O
how
much
lesse
do
things
appear
that
are
beheld
from
a
high
place
!
How
do
they
abate
,
which
here
below
seem
so
great
,
if
they
be
beheld
from
the
starres
!
And
how
much
do
we
enjoy
,
perceiving
the
thoughts
to
inlarge
,
and
the
mind
encrease
,
even
to
make
us
contemn
that
,
which
others
like
slaves
adore
!
That
which
the
good
Seneca
teacheth
us
to
do
,
the
great
Anaxagoras
had
done
long
before
,
who
desiring
only
to
see
the
heavens
,
for
the
contemplation
of
which
he
was
said
to
be
born
,
left
his
country
,
as
a
Sepulchre
of
living
men
;
and
because
the
earth
should
not
take
away
the
sight
of
the
heavens
,
he
lived
in
the
fields
poor
,
and
without
covert
.
What
said
he
,
Poor
and
Harbourlesse
?
He
enjoyed
more
,
in
seeing
over
his
head
the
beautiful
Canopy
of
the
serene
Azures
of
heaven
,
in
seeing
himself
crowned
with
a
world
of
starres
,
which
did
revolve
about
him
,
and
in
that
the
Sun
gilded
with
his
light
,
the
raggednesse
of
his
poor
garments
;
and
in
that
the
heavens
sent
him
advice
of
all
news
,
than
if
he
had
been
clad
in
purple
,
and
his
head
crowned
,
and
he
attended
with
the
vassalage
of
all
the
earth
.
And
therefore
:
That
which
I
have
hitherto
spoke
of
the
contemplation
of
heaven
,
an
object
of
a
part
of
the
Natural
Sciences
,
to
prove
that
Understanding
is
a
certain
be
atitude
of
so
excellent
a
tast
,
that
it
inchanteth
the
senses
,
and
takes
away
what
ever
desires
are
of
an
order
inferiour
to
the
mind
;
I
would
have
to
be
understood
of
the
other
so
numerous
,
so
noble
,
and
so
vast
subjects
,
of
most
pleasant
cognitions
,
of
which
the
ingenuity
of
the
learned
is
capable
,
brought
into
the
world
(
saith
Pythagoras
recited
by
Sinesius
)
as
Spectators
in
a
Theater
of
alwayes
new
,
But
if
from
the
gust
of
speculation
the
use
of
learning
be
called
back
to
the
practice
of
living
,
Scholars
would
be
much
more
severe
and
grave
;
and
I
confesse
(
as
all
the
wise
are
of
opinion
)
to
tearm
that
learned
man
wise
,
whose
mind
a
long
and
right
understanding
hath
refined
,
and
whose
reason
it
hath
purged
from
the
filth
of
those
sensual
basenesses
,
and
terrene
vilenesses
of
those
affections
which
in
us
savour
of
bruitish
,
so
that
prosperous
or
adverse
that
occurrences
be
,
he
weigheth
them
in
the
balance
of
reason
for
what
they
are
;
it
would
be
no
hard
matter
for
me
,
leading
you
through
some
of
the
more
dreaded
miseries
,
to
make
you
see
such
a
man
superiour
to
them
,
then
to
shew
the
loftiest
starres
to
be
as
far
from
eclipses
,
as
they
are
distant
from
the
shadows
of
the
earth
.
Sapience
happy
,
although
in
misery
.
The
Wise
poor
man
.
POverty
is
a
single
name
,
but
not
a
single
misery
,
and
one
that
's
understanding
in
cyphers
,
in
this
only
word
knows
how
to
read
a
whole
Iliad
of
evils
.
The
Poet
with
the
title
of
Turpis
Egestus
,
placed
it
together
with
other
monsters
at
the
gate
of
hell
;
nor
did
he
any
injury
to
it
,
forasmuch
as
it
brings
with
it
sufficient
matter
for
a
whole
hell
of
misery
,
to
those
houses
of
which
it
keepeth
the
door
.
Famine
within
,
earts
the
bowels
alive
;
Nakednesse
without
,
ignominiously
discovers
the
flesh
;
Shame
suffers
it
not
to
appear
in
publique
;
Necessity
permits
it
not
to
keep
in
secret
:
if
bashfulnesse
makes
it
silent
,
it
endureth
a
thousand
hardships
;
if
it
beg
an
almes
,
as
vile
,
it
finds
no
credit
.
The
evils
it
suffereth
are
so
much
the
greater
,
by
how
much
the
lesse
others
commiserate
them
.
But
of
as
many
griefs
as
this
complicated
misery
is
pregnant
with
,
there
is
not
a
worse
specially
to
a
man
of
sublime
wit
,
or
noble
extraction
,
than
the
becoming
Subjects
of
scorn
and
derision
.

Quam

.
This
is
the
blackest
shadow
that
follows
it
,
this
is
the
heaviest
chain
it
drags
after
it
:
And
how
many
which
appeared
as
trees
without
leaves
,
un-beseemingly
naked
,
have
made
choice
of
obscurity
,
judging
death
lesse
insufferable
than
ignominy
?
Now
this
tormenting
and
deformed
Hangman
,
(
that
might
there
be
so
many
Furies
in
hell
,
would
make
the
fourth
)
who
would
believe
it
,
when
it
s
joyned
with
Learning
and
Sapience
;
Poverty
with
Sapience
(
saith
the
Stoick
Philosophying
,
is
a
divine
composition
,
which
hath
all
,
and
hath
nothing
,
yea
,
can
only
give
that
,
without
which
nothing
is
possest
,
therefore
alone
is
all
things
,
I
mean
Sapience
.
And
is
not
this
the
condition
of
the
gods
?
Respice
enim
mundum
:
What
can
he
desire
more
in
the
world
,
who
phylosophying
,
better
than
possessing
,
hath
made
the
world
his
patrimony
?
The
things
which
are
so
much
ours
as
Fortune
and
chance
left
them
us
,
are
more
others
than
our
own
,
more
lent
than
possest
,
and
make
us
no
more
happy
than
the
image
of
a
man
makes
the
Statue
.
To
know
the
world
,
saith
Manilius
,
this
is
to
possesse
it
:
in
such
sort
,
that
to
every
Demetrius
which
shall
ask
us
,
Quid
capta
Patria
superfuerit
nobis
?
We
may
with
the
same
Megarensis
answer
,
Nullum
vidi
qui
res
meas
anferret
.
To
Pilgrims
,
not
only
a
little
sufficeth
,
but
much
is
troublesome
.
To
a
man
whose
thoughts
are
not
confined
between
his
own
walls
,
as
the
center
is
included
in
the
circumference
,
but
alwayes
with
the
Wings
of
the
Mind
displayed
,
and
addressed
thither
where
the
desire
of
knowing
new
things
calls
him
,
whereby
he
becomes
a
stranger
,
not
only
to
his
home
,
but
also
to
himself
,
and
is
rather
where
he
is
not
,
than
where
he
dwells
;
Can
it
be
a
dishonour
or
prejudice
to
him
to
want
that
,
which
,
as
a
Pilgrim
,
would
be
as
well
of
impediment
,
as
of
weight
?
From
whence
Seneca
formeth
the
Aphorism
:
But
behold
an
Eloquent
Platonick
,
who
,
Let
therefore
Socrates
the
poor
,
but
Socrates
the
Learned
,
go
through
all
the
Marts
and
Ports
of
the
World
,
beholding
particularly
the
immense
abundance
of
those
goods
,
of
which
riches
and
honours
make
vaunt
,
Quam
multo
ipse
non
egeo
!
Alexander
lamented
with
brinish
tears
,
when
he
heard
the
Phylosopher
Anaxagoras
assert
,
that
Nature
,
either
as
avaritious
,
would
not
,
or
as
sterril
,
could
not
produce
more
then
one
VVorld
,
it
having
neither
measure
to
its
power
,
nor
〈…〉
to
its
will
;
so
that
in
the
spaces
of
its
immensity
,
it
hath
not
produced
the
numbers
of
infinite
,
and
equalled
its
being
to
its
utmost
power
,
and
answered
to
the
●dea's
of
immensurable
VVorlds
,
with
the
workmanship
of
each
of
them
.
Alexander
possest
not
one
alone
of
so
many
〈…〉
was
,
and
therefore
exclaimed
〈…〉
Immanium

,

,

.
Grecia
,
Persia
,
of
the
India's
(
〈…〉

)
but
〈…〉
his
poverty
by
his
want
,
and
so
much
he
wanted
as
he
did
desire
.

Would
you
know
justly
how
to
describe
that
famous
Diogenes
,
which
drew
to
him
(
not
so
much
to
visit
as
to
admire
him
)
Alexander
,
by
whom
he
was
sought
to
,
and
for
whom
he
did
not
care
.
Lapis
est
cognomine
Magnes
,
Discolor
,
obscurtis
,
vilis
.
Non

,
His
hispid
beard
,
uncombed
hair
,
his
deformed
visage
,
his
ragged
cloaths
,
his
rude
and
clownish
manners
,
his
extreme
poverty
,
did
they
not
make
him
seem
like
a
naked
,
black
,
heavy
,
ill-shapt
piece
of
stone
?
More
over
,
a
Tub
was
his
house
;
yea
,
was
to
him
as
if
he
had
all
the
world
,
because
of
all
the
world
he
would
have
no
more
then
that
.
He
turned
it
at
his
pleasure
,
scoffing
at
the
celestial
Sp●eres
,
and
Fortunes
wheel
,
became
neither
these
with
their
periods
,
nor
this
with
its
praecipices
could
oppose
the
revolutions
o●
his
Tub
,
nor
either
the
heavens
give
any
good
to
him
that
covers
nothing
,
or
fortune
take
it
from
him
that
being
naked
can
be
spoiled
of
nothing
.
But
in
a
man
so
ill
accoutred
,
and
so
ill
lodged
,
whence
such
virtue
,
and
one
so
potent
,
(
I
will
say
)
magnetisme
,
that
he
,
obscure
and
be●garly
,
cou●d
draw
to
him
the
most
illu●trious
and
most
wealthy
Monarch
of
the
World
,
thanks
Phylosophy
,
that
in
Diogenes
,
as
a
Sun
covered
with
a
cloud
,
or
a
Venus
clothed
like
a
Satyre
,
shined
●orth
so
,
as
to
be
able
to
allure
such
a
King
,
and
wrap
him
into
admiration
,
and
obsequ●e
of
a
ragged
beggar
.
What
though
〈◊〉
be
a
beggar
?
Let
his
riches
be
put
in
balance
to
counter
poise
that
of
the
richest
Alexander
.
Diogenes
of
all
that
the
Macedon
offered
him
,
accepted
nothing
,
because
he
needed
nothing
.
Alexander
,
who
wanted
even
that
which
he
had
,
because
he
wanted
what
he
would
,
desired
to
be
transformed
into
,
and
to
become
Diogenes
.
Therefore
Diogenes
,
Multo
potentior
multo
lucupletior
fuit
,
Therefore
Learning
and
contented
poverty
,
in
whom
they
do
unite
,
compose
that
happy
temper
of
the
Golden
Age
,
when
free
from
all
fear
of
losse
,
every
one
lived
pleased
with
that
which
was
his
;
namely
,
content
with
himself
,
and
so
far
rich
as
he
needed
nothing
;
namely
,
desired
not
riches
.
Thus
Palemon
and
Crates
,
two
friends
,
two
Phylosophers
,
two
beggars
,
were
by
Archesilaus
for
their
honour
called
Reliques
of
the
Golden
Age.
And
between
others
riches
and
their
own
poverty
,
they
lived
like
that
friend
of
Seneca
:
Non
tanquam
contempsissent
omnia
,
sed
tanquam
aliis
habenda
,
permisissent
.
The
rich
are
not
so
blinded
with
the
splendor
of
their
gold
,
that
they
see
not
at
least
in
part
the
worth
of
these
goods
.
A
poor
learned
man
appeareth
among
rich
ideots
,
as
rags
among
silks
,
frieze
amongst
purple
,
the
meagernesse
of
a
face
consumed
by
study
,
and
made
pale
with
looks
,
amongst
plump
and
ruddy
faces
;
Those
look
on
themselves
as
sheep
covered
with
golden
wooll
,
and
the
other
as
a
great
god
among
the
ancients
,
graven
in
a
homely
stone
,
or
imprinted
in
clay
;
but
therefore
no
lesse
honourable
,
than
if
they
were
cast
in
gold
,
and
in-laid
with
pearl
.
That
adventurous
Ship
,
which
first
of
all
past
the
large
Straights
of
Megallanes
,
which
steered
it
,
environed
all
the
earth
,
whence
it
was
called
Victory
:
returning
into
Europe
,
and
drawn
into
the
Port
,
was
beheld
by
all
as
the
second
Argo
of
the
World
.
Those
ribs
which
had
been
of
proof
against
the
batteries
of
storms
,
of
till-then-unseen
Oceans
,
those
faithful
sails
at
the
encounter
of
strange
winds
,
that
rudder
,
that
mast
,
those
sail-yards
,
in
fine
,
all
its
parts
were
judged
worthy
of
the
noblest
stars
in
heaven
:
since
she
had
overcome
the
elements
,
and
made
conquest
not
of
a
fleece
,
but
world
of
gold
.
Nor
did
her
being
in
part
defaced
with
weakned
mast
,
dislocated
yards
,
disarmed
sides
,
tattered
sails
,
faln
poup
,
render
her
lesse
valuable
and
beautiful
.
The
other
ships
well
rigg'd
,
beheld
her
with
a
certain
envy
,
and
those
impressions
which
the
tempests
and
the
long
voyage
had
made
in
her
,
as
scars
in
a
Martial
Captain
,
they
esteemed
more
honourable
,
then
that
beauty
with
which
they
were
adorned
.
To
her
they
struck
sail
,
vailed
yards
,
bowed
Ancients
,
they
full
of
merchandise
,
and
rich
with
gold
,
the
Victory
empty
,
shattered
,
disfigured
,
they
adored
as
their
Mistresse
.
Behold
,
the
condition
of
a
poor
Scholar
in
the
midst
of
many
rich
Ignorants
;
they
have
,
although
many
times
they
know
not
that
they
have
it
,
an
Envie
of
the
internal
riches
,
of
which
they
are
wholly
wanting
,
and
do
look
on
that
poor
man
as
rich
.
Ullanè

,
id
quod

,

?
Now
if
the
rich
be
trees
,
with
a
great
grove
of
branches
dispersed
in
every
part
,
comely
,
and
lea●ie
:
a
poor
learned
man
is
a
leafless
trunk
,
and
half
naked
;
but
what
then
?

The
Wise
Exile
.
THose
Ancient
Sages
,
Masters
of
Sapience
,
which
alive
,
had
Greece
dead
,
had
all
the
World
for
Auditors
,
left
us
for
an
infallible
maxime
,
to
the
end
the
mind
learn
to
Phylosophate
,
and
not
erre
;
it
's
needful
,
the
feet
go
wandring
through
many
Lands
:
We
may
attein
to
the
riches
of
Sapience
,
but
no
other
way
but
by
going
to
the
Sages
,
in
many
places
,
and
begging
it
.
Truth
(
said
they
)
a
Native
of
Heaven
,
is
a
Pilgrim
on
Earth
,
and
is
found
no
way
but
by
Peregrination
:
He
that
seeks
it
,
doth
as
the
rivers
,
which
encrease
the
more
,
the
further
they
go
;
so
that
they
which
at
their
fountains
were
scarce
little
brooks
,
in
dilating
themselves
,
become
little
lesse
than
Seas
.
The
vapours
of
the
earth
,
would
they
ever
assume
the
form
of
starres
,
if
leaving
the
country
where
they
were
all
dirt
,
they
should
not
run
after
the
Sun
,
and
make
themselves
much
more
happy
in
being
Pilgrims
in
heaven
,
than
if
they
were
Citizens
on
earth
?
Men
are
not
as
Planets
,
which
have
the
greatest
virtue
then
,
when
they
are
in
their
own
houses
;
yea
,
it
happens
many
times
,
that
ones
own
country
proveth
a
step-mother
,
and
a
forraign
land
the
mother
,
in
fashion
of
certain
plants
,
which
from
their
Native
Soil
,
where
they
were
nourished
with
venomous
humours
,
transported
to
a
strange
climate
,
in
the
remove
they
lose
their
power
of
hurting
,
and
find
together
with
a
harmlesse
relish
,
the
virtue
of
wholesome
aliment
.
A
mans
own
country
ought
to
be
to
a
wise
man
,
as
the
Horizon
to
the
stars
,
for
birth
,
not
for
Sepulchre
;
to
take
thence
the
first
light
,
and
as
the
Aurora
of
Sapience
,
after
to
climb
to
other
places
,
even
to
find
the
most
high
and
splendid
noon-tide
which
it
makes
on
earth
.
Thus
those
Sages
understood
it
,
and
according
to
their
knowledge
practising
,
seemed
just
of
the
nature
of
the
Heavens
,
which
have
rest
in
motion
:
whence
with
tedious
voyages
,
they
ran
where
in
some
new
Academy
of
the
learned
they
might
discover
the
gain
of
Wisdome
.
Their
life
was
,
as
Sinesius
speaks
,
a
perpetual
going
a
hunting
,
sometimes
in
Greece
,
sometimes
in
Aegypt
,
sometimes
in
Persia
,
sometimes
in
the
Indies
,
where
the
hope
of
the
best
prey
inviting
drew
them
.
Thus
Pythagoras
,
Socrates
,
Plato
,
Democritus
,
Dioge●es
,
Anaxagoras
,
and
a
hundred
others
came
through
un-frequented
climates
,
and
gathered
the
quintessence
of
every
one
like
to
certain
fortunate
fountains
,
which
in
the
peregrination
they
make
through
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
passe
through
the
middle
of
precious
veins
,
some
of
gold
,
or
silver
;
some
of
Emeralds
or
Saphyres
,
&
imbibe
,
and
carry
away
the
best
of
their
wholesome
qualities
.
And
see
how
the
relish
of
Learning
rendereth
absence
from
ones
country
,
not
only
sufferable
,
but
beyond
measure
sweet
,
whence
to
him
who
wisheth
it
,
when
banishment
cometh
,
Exile
hath
no
other
pain
then
the
name
.
To
him
who
hath
not
,
to
him
who
knows
not
other
goods
,
then
those
which
the
ignorant
vulgar
call
gifts
of
Fortune
,
leaving
his
country
,
I
deny
not
is
to
him
as
to
a
scarce
imfeathered
fowl
to
be
thrown
from
his
nest
,
whose
going
out
is
his
fall
,
and
his
fall
his
ruine
,
but
he
that
hath
strong
feathers
,
and
expert
wings
,
changeth
a
nest
of
straw
in
which
he
lived
buried
,
for
the
ample
spaces
,
and
open
ayr
of
all
the
heavens
,
which
is
so
much
his
,
as
is
the
liberty
of
flight
which
brought
him
thither
.
Who
took
thee
from
thy
country
?
(
saith
a
Shepherd
to
Tytirus
)
Who
made
thee
turn
Pilgrim
,
and
live
a
stranger
in
forreign
parts
?
Et
quae
tanta
fuit
Roman
tibi
causa
videndi
?
Wearinesse
of
servitude
,
replied
Tytirus
,
thrust
me
out
of
my
native
nest
;
love
of
liberty
brought
me
to
live
in
strange
places
.
Libertas
;
Ille
(
Petrach
sagely
replyeth
)
in
Sermone
Pastorio
ut
libertatem
inveniret
,
Patriam
se
reliquisse
gloriatur
,
tu
Phylosophos
defles
?
Let
the
Moors
of
Spain
weep
,
Ruine
the
country
of
Stilpone
,
in
common
tears
he
alone
is
merry
,
and
in
a
universall
losse
secure
:
And
going
thence
alone
,
and
naked
,
carrieth
with
him
all
that
's
his
,
because
he
carrieth
himself
;
but
himself
wise
and
learned
.
Sapie
autem
,
Let
the
Clasomeneans
,
as
we
said
above
,
banish
the
great
Anaxagoras
,
and
as
unworthy
of
the
name
of
Citizen
,
forbid
him
the
City
.
He
grieves
not
,
as
if
his
departure
were
from
his
country
,
but
his
prison
,
and
excluded
from
a
corner
of
the
earth
,
which
was
too
narrow
for
his
great
soul
,
he
pointed
at
heaven
for
his
country
,
and
the
stars
for
his
Fellow-Citizens
.
Where
ever
he
goeth
he
is
covered
with
the
same
roof
of
heaven
,
so
that
he
seems
not
to
have
lost
his
house
,
but
to
have
only
changed
rooms
.
Quid

re●ert
quam
diversa
parte

?
Nulli
certa

.
Let
Diogenes
be
thrust
out
of
Sinope
,
he
will
be
as
thankful
to
his
banishers
,
as
Theseus
to
Hercules
his
Deliverer
,
when
he
fetcht
him
by
force
from
that
unhappy
stone
,
on
which
his
punishment
was
ingraven
:
Sedet
,
aeternumque
Sedebit
.
And
from
that
loathsome
idlenesse
,
which
alone
sufficed
to
him
for
a
great
Hell
,
instating
him
in
his
Primitive
Liberty
:
Let
the
scoffers
jeer
his
Exile
,
he
will
answer
,
My
Citizens
have
condemned
me
to
go
out
of
Sinope
,
and
I
have
condemned
them
to
stay
there
.
The
Wise
man
knew
,
that
they
were
more
Exiles
,
because
banished
from
all
the
rest
of
the
World
,
they
were
confined
to
one
City
,
then
he
,
which
excluded
from
one
City
,
had
all
the
World
for
his
country
.
Being
far
from
Sinope
,
he
beheld
it
as
he
that
cast
away
in
a
sudden
tempest
at
Sea
,
and
driven
by
the
waves
to
a
rock
,
sees
from
those
cliffs
,
others
shipwracks
,
and
caling
his
misfortunes
felicities
,
desireth
not
the
Ocean
which
tosseth
them
,
but
abhorreth
it
;
nor
doth
he
envie
such
who
perish
in
it
,
but
pittieth
them
.
Would
you
see
a
picture
,
or
rather
only
a
rough
draught
of
the
hand
of
the
worthiest
Seneca
,
which
sets
out
to
the
life
the
state
,
the
imployments
,
the
ordinary
pastimes
of
the
greatest
part
of
men
in
their
Cities
?
Behold
,
a
world
of
people
,
which
though
they
be
continually
busied
,
yet
doing
nothing
,
and
that
are
lesse
idle
while
they
sleep
then
while
they
labour
.
But
when
afterwards
in
leaving
ones
a
mattock
,
his
rams
into
plows
,
horses
into
oxen
,
trenches
into
fences
,
ditches
into
furrows
,
the
ranging
of
squadrons
,
to
martialling
of
trees
,
to
routing
of
armies
,
to
rooting
up
of
thorns
:
in
fine
,
combats
into
labours
,
and
victory
into
harvest
.
Yet
he
made
not
the
fences
about
his
farme
so
thick
,
but
that
the
troubles
of
Rome
might
penetrate
them
.
Nor
did
his
rusticity
so
di●guise
him
,
that
publicke
cares
knew
him
not
,
to
torment
him
.
The
voluntary
banishment
which
he
took
against
his
will
,
from
his
ingrateful
Country
,
going
thence
that
he
might
not
be
thrust
from
thence
,
so
reteined
against
them
,
in-kindled
in
his
heart
ever
after
a
disdain
,
that
it
extinguisht
not
with
the
expiration
of
his
life
,
but
the
flame
perpetualliz'd
it self
in
his
ashes
,
buried
far
from
his
ingrateful
Country
.
Behold
,
here
the
advantage
of
a
great
mind
above
a
great
heart
.
A
man
of
high
knowledg
:
and
of
as
hardy
a
wit
,
as
Scipio
was
of
his
hands
,
abandoned
and
bereft
of
Rome
,
would
have
said
as
Socrates
,
when
turned
out
of
Athens
.
Mihi
omnis
terra
eadem
mater
,
omne
coelum
idem
tectum
,
totus
mundus
est
patria
.
He
that
is
separated
from
his
Country
,
let
him
imitate
the
Moon
,
which
the
farther
it
is
from
the
Sun
,
the
fuller
it
is
of
light
:
and
seeing
the
increasements
and
acquist's
of
new
knowledg
,
which
he
makes
in
the
Domestick
use
of
Men
greater
than
himself
;
he
can
doe
no
lesse
than
say
as
Alcibiades
,
cast
out
his
Country
,
and
received
by
a
forreign
King
,
with
the
offer
of
three
great
Cities
at
his
first
reception
,
Perieramus
,
nisi
periissemus
.
Oh
how
much
is
Wisedom
obliged
to
voluntary
and
compulsive
exilements
!
Pallas
with
this
hath
made
other
manner
of
acquist's
,
than
when
she
sailed
in
the
Argonautick
ship
to
the
conquest
of
the
Golden
Fleece
.
Before
the
Art
of
Navigation
was
in
use
,
the
World
was
half
unknown
,
half
un-cultivated
,
all
barbarous
.
Sua
quisque
piger
littora
norat
,
Who
then
had
,
or
knew
what
it
was
to
have
all
the
World
?
The
Sea
was
idle
,
the
Winds
unprofitable
;
Heaven
,
few
were
there
that
did
behold
it
,
none
that
made
use
of
it
.
Nondum
quisquam
sydera
norat
,
Stellísque
quibus
pingiter
aether
,
Non
erat
usus
.
—
Now
all
the
World
is
made
one
only
Kingdome
,
whereas
before
every
Kingdom
seemed
a
World
.
Each
place
is
neither
deprived
of
others
,
nor
covetous
of
her
own
;
whilst
that
each
transporteth
into
another
,
that
wherein
it self
abounds
:
making
all
the
earth
but
one
body
,
where
one
part
readily
succoureth
the
necessities
of
an
other
.
Now
the
whole
heaven
is
but
one
Roofe
,
and
all
Men
doe
know
themselves
to
be
but
one
and
the
same
Family
,
and
may
with
more
verity
,
than
he
that
they
were
said
by
,
Jam
nusquam
Natura
latet
:
pervidimus
omnem
,
Et
capto
potimur
mundo
:
nostrum
que
parentum
Pars
sua
conspicimus
.
—
What
would
the
Gymnosophists
,
the
Greeks
,
the
Chaldeans
have
had
,
if
content
with
that
only
,
which
they
were
born
with
,
they
had
not
gone
out
of
their
Country
to
seek
,
as
Ulisses
in
his
fortunate
wandrings
,
that
Sapience
from
others
,
which
they
themselves
did
want
?
Look
how
much
better
a
seeing
eye
is
,
than
a
blind
,
Philo
Alexandrinus
,
so
much
more
excellent
is
a
man
whom
desire
of
knowledge
had
led
,
a
Pilgrim
and
voluntary
exile
,
The
Wise
Prisoner
.
THe
Soules
of
Philosophers
(
said
a
Wise
Ancient
)
have
their
bodies
for
houses
:
those
of
the
ignorant
,
for
prisons
.
Because
the
first
are
retired
in
the
body
as
in
Temples
of
sleep
and
repose
,
and
goe
out
freely
at
their
pleasure
wheresoever
their
fancies
carry
them
:
and
the
second
,
shut
up
in
the
narrow
wals
of
their
body
,
are
tied
with
as
many
chaines
as
they
have
members
,
without
seeing
any
other
light
then
what
comes
to
them
through
the
little
holes
of
two
pupils
:
and
rest
there
shut
up
,
in
as
much
as
they
have
no
thoughts
but
what
their
bodily
necessities
infuse
.
Thence
it
is
that
if
the
ignorant
chance
to
be
prisoners
they
are
double
prisoners
:
The
Sages
not
at
all
;
the
better
part
of
whom
can
no
more
be
confined
,
than
the
wind
may
be
imprisoned
in
a
Net
;
or
the
light
shut
up
in
Christal
.
The
Tullianum
of
Rome
:
the
Cave
of
Syracuse
,
the
Lethe
of
Persia
,
the
Ceramo
of
Cyprus
,
and
of
as
many
as
there
were
,
or
there
are
now a-dayes
famous
,
or
infamous
prisons
of
the
World
,
none
are
so
deep
,
that
they
bury
,
or
so
obscure
that
they
blind
,
so
narrow
as
to
bind
,
so
strong
with
double
wals
,
that
they
confine
a
mind
truly
Phylosophical
.
Thanks
to
Sapience
,
which
Plato
cals
the
wing
of
the
Soul
,
that
carries
it
not
only
out
of
its
prison
,
but
beares
it
up
in
its
flight
out
of
the
World
.
Nam
cogitatio
ejus
(
saith
the
Stoick
)
circa
omne
coelum
,
&
in
omne
praeteritum
,
futurumque
tempus
emittitur
.
Corpusculum
hoc
custodia
,
ac
vinculum
animi
,
huc
,
atque
illuc
jactatur
.
In
hoc
supplicia
,
in
hoc
latrocinia
,
in
hoc
morbi
exercentur
.
Animis
quidem
ipse
sacer
,
&
aeternus
est
,
&
cui
non
possit
injici
manus
.
Therefore
a
prison
to
a
wise
man
is
no
prison
,
but
a
house
,
since
he
is
at
liberty
to
go
out
when
he
will
.
Totum
autem
hominem
animus
,
circumfert
(
saith
Tertullian
)
&
quo
velit
transfert
.
It
is
of
little
importance
to
the
Soule
what
becomes
of
the
body
,
whilst
its
thoughts
are
out
of
the
body
.
A
light
remedy
was
that
of
Socrates
,
against
the
heavy
vexations
of
the
always
fastidious
Zantippe
,
to
get
up
to
the
top
of
the
house
,
when
she
made
the
bottome
ring
with
her
brawling
.
How
much
better
would
it
be
to
avoid
the
sight
of
the
darkness
,
the
feeling
of
the
narrowness
,
the
anoyance
of
the
solitude
of
a
prison
,
to
clime
with
the
mind
to
the
stars
,
to
make
it self
splendid
with
their
light
,
and
tracing
out
their
periods
,
and
measuring
their
magnitudes
,
to
make
himself
a
companion
of
the
intelligences
which
so
expertly
reveal
them
?
Nihil
crus
sentit
in
nervo
,
A
pleasant
folly
was
that
related
by
Horace
of
a
Greek
fool
,
who
for
many
hours
of
the
day
thought
himself
in
a
full
Theater
,
and
to
see
persons
appear
in
Scaenes
,
and
to
hear
excellent
Tragoedies
recited
by
the
bravest
Actors
!
There
was
not
a
man
in
all
Argos
more
content
then
he
.
Qui
se
credebat
miros
audire
Tragoe
do
;
His
friends
,
going
about
,
to
comiserate
him
,
were
,
without
knowing
it
cruel
to
him
:
for
by
the
power
of
Helebore
re-setling
the
brains
in
his
head
,
they
took
the
joy
from
his
heart
:
whereupon
he
,
that
would
not
have
exchanged
his
folly
for
all
the
wisdome
in
the
World
,
being
cured
,
condoled
his
unfortunate
discretion
▪
and
envied
his
fortunate
folly
;
and
to
his
friends
,
because
depriving
him
of
an
innocent
content
,
they
had
restored
him
to
the
anoyance
of
his
former
perplexities
,
and
of
a
fained
Spectator
,
had
made
him
a
real
Actor
of
Tragoedies
,
he
makes
grievous
complaint
.
—
Me
occidistis
amici
Non
servastis
,
ait
,
cui
sic
extorta
voluptas
,
Et
demptus
per
vim
mentis
gratissimus
error
.
Thus
far
a
foolish
imagination
of
an
irregular
fancy
can
co-operate
to
other
mens
content
,
whilest
ravishing
them
out
of
themselves
,
it
fixeth
them
upon
some
pleasing
object
.
And
cannot
Sapience
doe
that
in
a
head
full
of
noble
and
sublime
notions
,
which
folly
can
doe
in
one
devoid
of
understanding
?
Knows
she
not
how
to
present
the
mind
with
spectacles
,
the
pleasure
whereof
may
make
a
man
forget
the
place
where
he
is
;
so
that
being
confined
in
a
Prison
,
he
may
conceit
himself
,
one
while
in
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
another
,
in
the
watery
abysse
;
sometimes
on
the
Ocean
,
sometimes
in
the
air
,
tost
too
and
fro
by
the
winds
;
now
neer
the
Sun
,
anon
among
the
Stars
;
by
and
by
in
the
utmost
regions
,
and
even
also
in
the
immense
vacuities
above
the
World
?
These
are
the
speculations
that
transport
our
minds
out
of
themselves
,
and
make
us
happy
in
their
contemplation
.
True
dreams
of
waking
eyes
,
which
at
the
same
instant
give
both
rest
,
and
delight
.
Scis

Philosophi
spectaculum
(
saith
that
excellent
Platonick
Maximus
Tyrius
)
cui

?
In

&

O

O

!
O

He
that
can
enter
a
Prison
with
such
contemplation
,
may
well
say
with
Tertullian
,
Auferamus
carceris
nomen
,
secessum
vocemus
.
He
changeth
place
,
—
Quae
gratia
currum
,
Armorumque
fuit
vivis
,
Thus
the
wise
prisoner
,
hath
the
same
noble
exercise
of
mind
,
and
that
either
sole
,
or
principal
care
of
soaring
higher
to
new
degrees
of
sublimer
speculations
,
which
he
had
when
free
,
eadem
sequitur
tellure
repostum
.
Wherewith
he
entred
into
prison
,
not
to
receive
from
thence
obscurity
and
infamy
,
but
to
bring
thither
light
and
glory
;
Socrates
,
Ignominiam
ipsi
loco
detracturus
,
saith
Seneca
;
Neque
etiam
poterat
carcer
videri
,
in
quo
Socrates
.
But
this
is
not
the
only
fruit
of
Learning
in
the
Wise
Prisoner
,
far
greater
is
that
(
which
very
often
succeeds
)
of
converting
the
Prison
into
a
Lyceum
,
and
with
feet
fettered
in
shackles
,
to
use
the
liberty
of
his
hands
in
managing
a
pen.
So
that
he
who
lives
in
a
Cell
,
known
only
to
himself
,
like
Silk-wormes
in
their
shels
,
Jam
mutatus
in
alitem
,
flies
with
his
books
through
every
place
,
becoming
in
the
school
of
a
prison
,
one
of
the
Worlds
Sages
.
Just
like
the
Sun
,
which
when
it
hath
left
our
Hemisphere
,
and
is
sepultur'd
under
ground
,
giveth
to
the
World
a
World
of
Stars
,
so
that
its
losse
is
with
gain
,
his
absenting
himself
is
with
honour
.
And
what
else
do
the
Pearlfishes
which
imprisoned
in
the
bottome
of
the
Sea
,
fettered
and
chained
to
a
Rock
,
deprived
of
light
,
yea
,
of
eyes
,
work
pearls
,
which
released
from
that
dungeon
,
and
brought
out
of
darkness
,
into
the
light
of
the
Sun
,
and
inchased
with
gold
,
are
put
for
the
ornaments
of
Crowns
,
upon
Royal
Temples
,
to
the
veneration
of
the
World
?
Thus
Anaxagoras
between
the
four
walls
of
a
narrow
prison
,
How
aptly
may
that
be
applied
to
them
which
Tertullian
speaks
of
the
light
of
the
day
,
which
taken
hence
by
the
Western
Ocean
,
and
as
it
were
interr'd
:
Rursus
cum
siuo
cultu
,
—
Latet
nullaque
in
luce
videtur
,
Solitude
,
and
silence
the
indivisible
companions
of
Study
;
which
to
find
,
others
have
buried
themselves
in
the
most
private
retirements
of
their
houses
,
woods
,
&
caves
;
these
have
for
their
companions
in
prison
,
&
are
thereby
the
less
solitary
,
&
with
the
mind
contracted
within
itself
,
their
wits
are
as
cleer
sighted
in
their
profounditudes
,
to
deserve
the
cleerer
lights
of
all
the
Sciences
,
as
from
the
bottom
of
that
famous
well
,
the
eyes
were
able
to
discern
the
Stars
at
mid-day
.
The
Wise
Infirme

POetry
had
a
Deucalion

Phylosophy

On
the
other
hand
Zeno
,
transfused
a
vein
of
stone
into
those
men
that
were
his
Scholars
,
and
made
them
become
obdurate
and
insensible
,
by
extirpating
all
affections
out
of
their
hearts
.
So
that
his
school
was
rather
an
Ingravers
shop
where
he
wrought
Statues
than
an
Academy
of
Philosophy
,
where
he
moulded
Phylosophers
.
His
first
and
last
lesson
was
to
learn
to
get
the
mind
to
the
pitch
of
Royal
fortitude
;
so
that
neither
the
surprizals
of
Love
,
nor
the
assaults
of
Malice
,
nor
the
seiges
of
Hope
,
nor
the
batteries
of
Desperation
,
nor
the
scalado's
Audacity
:
finally
,
that
neither
the
arms
nor
arts
of
any
Affection
should
be
able
to
force
the
heart
to
surrender
it self
,
or
yeild
either
at
discretion
,
or
upon
articles
.
In
the
tempest
of
bodily
insirmity
,
of
disturbed
humours
,
of
sickly
constitutions
,
he
would
have
the
heart
stand
Velut
pelagi
rupes
immota
,
which
assaulted
but
not
moved
by
the
waves
,
breaks
them
at
his
feet
,
and
makes
them
recoile
in
a
foam
.
All
the
tortures
of
the
World
,
though
with
a
painful
wracke
our
members
should
be
torn
off
,
one
by
one
,
have
not
in
them
any
thing
worthy
to
cause
a
fainting
of
paleness
in
our
faces
,
or
feebleness
of
courage
in
our
brests
:
have
not
power
to
extort
one
interjection
from
our
mouthes
,
nor
one
bare
tear
from
our
eyes
.
Yea
,
rather
the
more
torments
increase
,
the
more
of
cheerfulness
should
appear
in
the
fore-head
;
like
the
Heavens
which
are
then
fullest
of
serenity
when
Boreas
blows
with
greatest
frigidity
&
impetuosity
.
But
what
talke
I
of
Zeno
and
the
Stoicks
?
Epicurus
himself
,
that
animal
,
whose
soul
only
served
him
for
salt
,
to
the
end
he
might
not
stink
alive
in
pleasures
;
taught
,
not
how
to
turn
thorns
into
flowers
,
to
extract
hony
out
of
gall
,
to
change
his
miseries
into
Jubilees
,
and
to
convert
misfortunes
into
felicities
.
Delight
therefore
being
the
fountain
of
beatitude
(
saith
he
)
and
that
man
not
being
able
to
call
himself
blessed
,
who
is
not
alwayes
so
,
it
is
necessary
that
he
knew
as
well
how
to
rejoyce
in
torments
as
in
contents
.
Quare
Sapiens
(
saith
Epicurus
cited
by
Seneca
)
●i
in
Phalaridis
tauro
peruratur
,
exclamabit
:
Dulce
est
,
ad
me
nihil
pertinet
.
But
they
desire
too
much
,
who
will
not
infuse
Wisdom
into
men
,
without
depriving
them
of
humanity
.
Other
Schools
more
prudently
taught
,
that
the
affections
should
not
be
pull'd
up
by
the
roots
as
venemous
plants
,
but
as
wild
and
un-cultivated
trees
they
should
better
themselves
by
transplanting
and
grafting
.
Many
sound
,
witout
a
skilful
Artist
to
accord
them
,
make
a
displeasing
discord
;
but
if
from
Proportion
they
receive
Time
and
Measure
,
they
compose
the
melody
of
a
perfect
Harmony
.
But
those
rigid
Schools
by
the
imposition
of
so
strict
an
injunction
,
of
extirpating
the
passions
from
the
heart
,
have
taught
us
thus
much
;
that
right
Philosophy
can
give
us
such
an
empire
over
our
affections
,
that
if
it
inchant
not
the
senses
at
the
undergoing
of
affliction
,
nor
yet
render
us
so
stupid
as
to
be
insensible
of
them
;
yet
it
permits
us
not
to
be
transported
with
desperation
,
not
provoked
with
impatience
;
nor
in
the
many
tempests
arising
from
the
miseries
of
the
body
,
to
lose
the
tranquility
of
the
mind
.
Now
therefore
behold
a
Wise
Sick
man
:
Behold
him
I
say
,
not
extended
on
a
bed
,
but
imbarqued
in
a
ship
;
not
among
the
feavers
and
anguishes
of
a
violent
infirmity
,
but
amidst
the
waves
and
billows
of
a
long
and
tedious
tempest
.
See
how
he
lower
sail
,
how
the
planks
flye
asunder
,
how
the
mast
trembles
,
how
each
part
from
poop
to
prow
shivers
,
and
the
ship
resents
all
this
,
as
no
peril
of
wrack
,
but
as
the
nature
of
the
tide
.
The
judgment
of
the
Pilot
,
and
dexterity
of
the
Marmers
,
steere
it
,
I
will
not
say
quietly
through
so
many
tumults
,
but
securely
through
so
many
dangers
.
Sapience
sits
at
the
stern
,
to
manage
the
mind
,
and
govern
the
affections
,
that
in
one
,
(
though
it
may
be
violent
)
tempest
,
wherein
another
would
have
sunk
,
a
Wise
sick
man
will
sail
,
if
not
with
the
serenity
of
a
calm
,
yet
with
the
security
of
a
Port.
Yea
,
shall
see
in
a
body
tottering
,
a
mind
so
firm
,
in
a
body
disordered
a
mind
so
composed
,
that
you
would
think
you
saw
two
persons
in
one
man
,
one
of
a
Phylosopher
another
of
an
Infirm
.
This
like
the
sides
of
Olympus
obnubulated
with
clouds
,
bathed
with
mysts
,
and
transfixed
with
thunder
;
that
,
like
its
lofty
top
,
alwayes
enjoyes
the
Heavens
serene
,
alwayes
beholds
either
the
Sun
or
the
Stars
;
That
like
a
cloud
which
is
melted
and
dissolved
into
rain
;
this
like
a
Rain-bow
,
merry
in
melancholy
,
and
laughing
in
the
midst
of
tears
.
Now
if
you
would
know
how
this
comes
to
passe
:
tell
me
:
Tranquility
of
mind
,
doth
it
avail
to
the
sanity
of
body
?
They
are
so
united
together
,
that
the
one
sympathizeth
with
the
other
,
and
(
as
it
happens
in
the
chords
set
to
unison
)
that
the
one
being
struck
the
other
moves
.
The
affections
of
the
mind
are
the
winds
,
the
humours
of
the
body
the
sea
;
whilst
the
winds
rore
,
the
Sea
grows
rough
and
tempestuous
.
On
the
contrary
.
Quidquid

So
that
if
Phylosophy
did
no
other
but
only
teach
us
to
esteem
death
to
be
that
which
it
is
(
of
which
it
hath
so
noble
,
and
so
generous
expressions
)
how
many
and
how
violent
paroxismes
of
fear
,
(
assailants
sometimes
more
mortal
than
Feavers
themselves
)
doth
it
thereby
expel
from
the
heart
?
How
many
,
half-sound
,
wholly
secure
,
at
the
least
shocke
of
calamity
die
onely
out
of
fear
of
death
,
and
miserably
expire
for
nothing
:
Aeneas
coming
to
Hel-gates
,
had
a
terrible
incounter
of
Centaures
,
Harpyes
,
Chymera's
,
Gorgons
,
Hydra's
,
at
which
sight
his
bloud
retired
to
his
heart
for
fear
,
and
his
hand
to
his
sword
for
defence
.
Et

Just
in
the
same
manner
doth
the
Wise
Infirm
.
The
feares
of
death
which
in
sundry
frightful
shapes
,
doth
make
towards
him
from
the
gates
of
Hell
,
he
knows
what
they
are
.
Tenues

and
remembreth
that
which
that
Roman
Sage
writ
,
that
Non
hominibus
tantum
,
sed
&
rebus
personae
demenda
est
,
&
reddenda
facies
sua
.
Tolle
istam
pompam
sub
qua
lates
,
&
stultos
territas
.
Mors
es
quam
nuper
servus
meus
,
quam
ancilla
contempsit
,
&c.
In
so
much
that
the
fools
which
seeking
medicines
for
diseases
,
have
no
remedy
for
this
of
fear
,
in
which
they
freeze
more
than
they
burn
in
their
feavers
;
will
neither
see
any
thing
,
nor
permit
themselves
to
be
seen
of
any
thing
,
which
may
awaken
in
their
memories
the
remembrance
of
death
.
So
that
they
imitate
the
simple
Fellow
,
who
to
hide
himself
from
the
fleas
that
bit
him
,
put
out
the
light
;
and
Non
me
,
The
fearful
and
timerous
have
but
too
good
eyes
,
being
accustomed
to
see
better
in
the
dark
than
light
.
If
therefore
the
dispositions
of
the
mind
be
of
such
efficacy
in
the
impressions
of
the
body
,
what
great
advantage
hath
the
Wise
Infirm
,
that
he
maintains
the
soul
in
serenity
,
and
the
mind
in
tranquility
;
that
fear
is
not
able
to
cause
the
least
transportment
or
palpitation
of
heart
,
and
the
acerbitude
it self
of
the
disease
,
is
thereby
qualified
,
and
remits
of
his
fury
?

the

we
doe
not
augment
it

make
it
greater
by
impatience
,
and
so
much

lesse

by
how
much

occupied
,
(
a
thing
easie
to
the
studious
)
is
diverted
from
the

takes
its
flight

Archimedes

his

so
intent

certain
Mathematical

he
was
describing
,
that
he
neither
saw

knew

nor
heard
any
thing
,
of
all
that
past
abroad
,
but
had
lost
himself
in
his
contemplations
,
so
that
being
slain
by
an
impatient
Souldier
he
perceived
himself
dead
before
he
was
aware
of
his
dying
,
and
was
more
aggrieved
that
he
could
not
finish
his
Demonstration

than
at
the
finishing
of
his
life
.

he
forgot
he
was

fugitive
soul
to
his

if
he

Seneca

did
not
he
once
(
as
himself
relateth
)
run
from
the
ague
that
sought
him

flying
in
the
hour
of
its
accession
to
hide
himself
in
the
most
secret
speculations
of
Phylosophy

prudently
reflected
with
profound
study

upon
his
wonted
lucubrations

that

is

the

In
the
beholding
of
Possidonius
a
Wise
sick-man
,
you
will
find
what
I
have
said
to
be
authenticke
,
that
Learning
and
Wisedom
,
bear
up
the
sick-bed
in
an
inundation

their

This
was
a
Phylosopher
,
a
long
time
un-healthy
and
laden
with
more
diseases
than
members
,
for
in
every
part
of
the
body
he
had
many
ails
;
and
had
he
been
sub-divided
into
many
men
,
he
could
have
made
a
compleat
Hospital
of
all
Diseases
,
whereas
being
all
summ'd
up
in
him
alone
,
they
hardly
made
one
sick
man
.
Thanks
to
the
fortitude
of
his
mind
which
supplied
the
imbecility
of
his
body
;
and
the
anguish
of
his
crazy
limbs
did
no
more
penetrate
his
heart
,
than
the
dart
transfixeth
the
bowels
of
an
Eliphant

is
repulsed

That
grand
proof
of
Roman
valour
which
Mutius
Scevola
gave
to
King
Porsenna
,
when
more
resenting
the
errour
he
had
committed
than
the
burning
of
his
hand
,
beheld
it
un-dauntedly
to
burn
in
the
fire
,
when
as
he
could
not
endure
without
impatience
to
erre
in
his
body
,
to
the
so
great
astonishment
of
the
king
his
enemy
,
that
he
was
constrained
not
only
to
commend
his
murtherer
,
in
the
middest
of
his
repentance
for
not
having
slain
him
;
but
to
be
also
his
champion
against
himself
,
taking
the
fire
from
under
that
hand
which
merited
light
,
and
was
more
worthy
of
a
palm
for
his
error
than
he
would
have
been
for
his
blow
;
This
I
say
,
was
one
,
only
act
,
upon
one
only
hand
,
for
a
short
time
,
in
a
man
worthy
of
death
,
in
a
man
bitterly
offended
with
himself

Posidonius
so
many
years
in
his
bed
,
as
Anaxarchus
in
a
morter
,
tormented
in
one
part
after
another
,
and
consumed
by
his
dolours
,
surviveth
the
continual
death
,
which
he
endured
only
to
be
the
longer
dying
,
and
beheld
himself
and
his
miseries
,
with
not
only
dry
,
but
cheerful
eyes
;
and
took
those
very
pains
as
subjects
to
Phylosophate
upon
,
methamorphosing
his
Chamber
into
a
Schoole
,
and
his
Bed
into
a
Chair
.
In
a
word
,
he
did
as
the
Moon
,
which
though
it
be
in
eclips
&
lose
his
light
,
yet
it
loseth
not
the
course
of
its
revolution
,
but
prosecuteth
its
motion
,
although
shee
be
not
so
full
of
light
as
before

Men
flockt
from
all
parts
about
Rhodes
,
to
hear
and
see
a
man
,
which
from
his
own
wounds
took
Balsome
for
others
;
and
more
admirers
had
he
lying
upon
a
bed
,
than
that
famous
Colossus
of
brass
,
erected
upon
the
entrance
of
the
Port
,
for
the
glory
of
Rhodes
,
and
miracle
of
the
World
.
Pompey
the
Great
passed
into
Greece
,
and
drawn
by
the
Fame
of
Posidonius
,
desired
to
see
him
;
and
he
came
just
at
the
instant
,
when
he
was
more
than
ever
,
under
the
anxions
pangs
of
his
dolours
.
He
came
,
he
saw
,
and
he
was
overcome
.
Pompey
seemed
the
patient
,
compassionating
the
torments
of
Posidonius
;
Posidonius
seemed
the
healthful
man
,
discoursing
amply
with
Pompey
,
and
proving
the
verity
of
this
argument
.
Nihil
bonum
est
,
nisi
quod
honestum
sit
;
and
with
such
cheerfulness
of
face
,
and
constancy
of
mind
did
he
doe
it
,
that
lacerated
with
torments
,
instead
of
groning
,
he
smiled
,
and
when
others
would
have
plaid
the
beast
,
he
said
.
Nihil
agis
dolor
,
quamvis
sis
molestus
nunquam
te
esse
confitebor

Thus
Sapience
which
is
the
quintescence
,
of
the
noblest
learning
,
can
better
than
the
Stygian
Lake
did
Achilles
,
render
the
mind
impenetrable
to
the
wounds
of
the
body
,
and
hold
it
so
far
alienated
from
all
sense
of
its
sufferings
,
by
how
much
it
knows
how
to
employ
the
thoughts
about
more
pleasing
objects
.
So
that
be
the
Wiseman
poor
,
be
he
in
prison
,
be
he
banished
,
be
he
sick
;
behold
,
in
two
words
,
the
remedy
for
each
of
these
diseases
.
Pauper
siā
?
inter
plures
ero
.
Exul
fiam
?
Ibi
me
natum
putabo
quò
mittar
.
Thus
have
I
glanced
at
the
happiness
of
a
Learned
man
,
by
what
may
be
taken
from
himself
,
but
because
this
little
light
which
I
have
been
able
to
give
to
so
illustrious
a
matter
,
may
appeare
yet
cleerer
.
I
will
draw
its
shadow
neer
it
:
and
if
I
have
made
you
see
Wisdom
to
be
happy
though
in
misery
;
now
I
will
prove
Ignorance
to
be
miserable
though
in
felicity
.
Ignorance
miserable
,
although
in
Felicity
.
Ignorance
and
Sanctity
.
SAnctity
is
a
pearl
of
so
great
a
value
&
of
so
inestimable
a
price
,
that
then
when
it
is
not
set
in
Gold
,
when
it
shines
not
among
the
lights
of
the
understanding
,
among
the
rayes
of
the
Sciences
,
it
diminisheth
not
at
all
in
worth
nor
is
it
lesse
esteemed
by
that
great
Merchant
,
which
gave
all
he
had
for
it
.
In
Gods
ballance
is
weighed
,
not
the
goodliness
of
the
understanding
,
but
the
goodness
of
the
Will
;
nor
is
he
taken
with
acute
fancies
,
but
with
ardent
affections
.
Wretched
Lucifer
knows
this
,
who
having
the
flames
and
splendor
of
Wit
,
but
wanting
the
ardor
of
Love
,
ambitious
to
become
the
Sun
of
Paradise
,
became
the
Prince
of
infernal
darkness
;
and
praecipitating
with
the
other
Stars
which
fell
from
Heaven
,
manifested
how
far
deeds
excel
knowledge
,
whilst
the
ignorant
men
of
the
earth
climbe
thither
from
whence
the
learned
Angels
from
Heaven
fell
.
God
never
desired
any
mans
head
,
yet
he
desires
every
mans
heart
,
nor
doth
he
,
dictating
to
the
pen
of
the
great
Chronóloger
Moses
,
the
Creation
of
the
world
,
take
care
to
teach
how
many
are
the
number
of
the
Stars
,
how
great
is
the
masse
of
the
Heavens
,
what
the
vertue
of
their
aspects
;
and
whether
they
derive
their
light
from
the
Sun
,
or
have
the
fountain
of
it
in
themselves
;
By
what
wayes
the
Planets
move
,
whence
come
the
spots
of
the
Moon
,
and
the
causes
of
Eclipses
;
If
the
Heavens
be
solid
,
if
the
Sun
be
hot
;
how
the
Rainbow
is
painted
,
how
the
winds
run
through
the
air
;
Who
moveth
the
Sea
with
fluxes
,
and
re-fluxes
;
who
makes
the
earth
to
quake
.
Quae
nihil
ad
nos
,
saith
St.
Ambrose
,
quasi
nihil
profutura
praeteriit
.
He
said
only
so
much
as
sufficed
to
infuse
into
the
judgment
the
fundamentals
of
Faith
;
he
dictated
onely
so
much
as
was
necessary
to
be
known
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
Law
:
the
rest
he
omitted
,
as
if
,
Marcescentis
sapientiae
vanitates
.
And
the
Wisdom
of
the
Father
,
his
living
Word
,
the
great
exemplar
of
all
the
Idea's
,
came
he
in
the
School
of
a
stable
,
upon
the
chair
of
a
Manger
,
in
the
assembly
of
Oxen
and
Asses
,
to
teach
in
the
silence
of
mid-night
,
with
the
voice
of
his
groanes
,
the
occult
verities
of
humane
Phylosophy
?
Liv'd
he
in
the
Licëum
,
a
Professor
of
Learning
,
a
Maintainer
of
Disputes
,
a
Writer
of
Sciences
?
Or
yet
did
he
discover
the
least
letter
,
that
may
be
pronounced
,
did
he
in
this
(
as
said
St.
Augustin
very
finely
)
make
so
much
as
Jotaunum
,
which
is
the
least
letter
;
yea
or
Unus
apex
,
that
is
,
lesse
than
the
least
of
all
the
Letters
?
He
came
,
its
true
,
to
convince
the
Phylosophy
of
the
Academi's
and
Licëum's
of
Ignorance
;
and
to
make
the
Wisdom
of
the
World
to
appear
foolishness
:
but
he
used
not
therefore
,
sublimness
of
stile
,
nor
quaintnesse
of
pelligrine
discourses
.
With
the
simple
word
of
his
mouth
,
Fecit
latum
de
sputo
,
using
parables
,
and
a
manner
of
speech
not
only
vulgar
,
but
rude
,
and
with
this
restored
sight
to
our
but
dim-sighted
eyes
.
And
for
Apostles
,
the
Legislators
of
the
World
,
the
Oracles
of
true
answers
,
who
did
he
elect
?
who
did
he
call
?
The
rude
and
ignorant
,
taught
with
no
other
voices
than
of
hoist
the
sailes
,
weigh
anchor
,
make
to
shoare
;
learnt
them
in
the
Mariners
school
;
Yet
,
saith
Theodoret
,
with
the
Solecismes
of
these
illitrates
he
confounded
the
Syllogismes
of
the
Phylosophers
.
Thus
God
honoured
Sanctity
without
Learning
,
by
how
much
the
purer
,
by
so
much
the
fairer
:
By
how
much
the
lesse
exhal'd
by
speculations
,
so
much
the
more
plentiful
,
and
abundant
in
affections
.
He
knows
much
,
yea
,
knows
all
that
knows
no
other
than
onely
God
.
He
that
knows
not
this
,
howbeit
he
knows
every
thing
else
,
knows
nothing
:
whereupon
according
to
Origen
,
that
bad
Politician
and
worse
Priest
Caiphas
spoke
the
truth
to
the
Hebrew
Senators
sworn
enemies
of
Christ
.
Vos
nescitis
quidquam
:
Verè
enim
nihil
noverant
,
qui
Jesum
veritatem
ignorabant
.
Lord
,
give
me
the
merits
of
so
great
a
glory
as
that
wherewith
St.
Gregory
honoureth
that
good
Monk
Steven
,
of
whom
he
saith
,
Erat
hujus
lingua
rustica
,
sed
docta
vita
.
Lord
,
teach
me
,
and
discover
to
me
thy self
,
I
desire
to
know
no
other
,
and
I
will
leave
with
the
Samaritan
the
Well
of
humane
Wisdom
,
that
springs
from
the
earth
,
and
also
the
pitcher
of
desire
of
ever
any
more
thirsting
for
it
.
Hitherto
I
have
spoken
in
others
language
,
not
with
my
own
;
and
said
that
,
not
which
is
absolutely
true
,
but
which
some
preach
as
true
:
some
I
say
,
qui
ad
inscitiae
praetextum
,
An
Ecclesiastick
that
could
read
no
other
Books
,
understand
no
other
Phylosophy
then
that
of
his
revenue
,
and
defended
himself
with
this
shield
of
the
Apostle
,
which
saith
,
litter
a
enim
occidit
(
thus
he
interpreted
that
text
)
moved
Sir
.
Thom
as
Moore
,
either
in
derision
,
or
for
his
correction
to
write
upon
him
this
Epigram
:
but
in
him
alone
to
how
many
doth
he
speak
?
Magna
Pater
,
clamas
.
Occidit
littera
:
In

Hoc

,
Occidit
littera
,
semper

,
Cavisti

,
ne

Littera
.
Non

.
That
Sanc●ity
without
Learning
is
very
precious
and
excellent
,
there
is
none
will
deny
.
That
its
better
to
be
a
holy
man
than
a
wise
man
,
who
doubts
?
but
that
it
s
not
better
to
be
a
Saint
and
a
Scholar
than
a
Saint
alone
,
I
know
no
man
that
can
with
reason
question
it
.
To
be
,
as
Christ
said
of
the
great
Baptist
,
Lucerna
ardens
,
&
lucens
,
in
whom
the
light
is
united
with
the
fire
,
and
the
heat
with
the
splendor
;
which
is
that
very
Perfectum
of
S.
Bernard
,
in
whom
both
parts
concurre
;
Lucere
,
&
ardere
.
To
have
as
the
Holy
Animals
of
Ezekiel
,
Manus
sub
pennis
,
namely
,
the
works
of
the
hands
,
and
the
desires
of
the
mind
.
To
carry
in
the
mouth
as
the
Spouse
,
the
Hony
combes
,
cultivated
by
Heaven
,
and
of
the
Earth
,
with
the
Honey
of
eternal
life
for
himself
,
and
with
the
Wax
tapers
of
Sciences
,
Illuminators
of
others
.
To
unite
as
in
the
Ark
the
Law
,
and
the
Manna
;
as
in
Paradise
the
Tree
of
Life
,
with
that
of
Wisedom
;
finally
,
to
Love
and
to
Know
:
is
not
this
upon
earth
the
type
of
the
Beatitudes
of
Heaven
?
is
it
not
worthy
to
be
the
Throne
of
that
great
Monarch
,
and
God
,
which
sits
upon
the
Cherubims
,
and
rides
upon
the
Wings
of
the
Wind
?
One
of
the
most
signal
honours
God
doth
bestow
upon
his
favourites
is
the
gift
of
the
Sciences
.
For
if
by
giving
to
Abraham
one
letter
of
his
name
,
he
did
him
so
extraordinary
a
favours
,
Ut
quemadmodum
reges
(
saith
Chrysostome
)
praefectis
suis
tabellas
aureas
tr
adunt
,
signum
videlicet
principatus
sic
Deus
justo
illi
,
in
honor
is
argumentum
,
unam
literam
deder
it
:
What
shall
we
say
,
of
him
,
to
whom
Gods
adds
,
not
onely
a
letter
to
the
name
,
but
great
Sciences
to
the
mind
,
making
him
the
liker
to
himself
the
perfecter
he
is
in
understanding
?
The
Spouse
craved
nothing
before
this
beginning
the
Canticles
with
demanding
a
kiss
,
which
was
in
effect
to
require
,
that
her
Husband
would
be
her
Master
,
and
with
his
Love
to
give
also
Learning
;
that
,
in
the
union
of
the
lips
:
this
,
in
the
impressions
of
the
speech
;
Petit
osculum
,
saith
the
Interpreter
St.
Bernard
,
id
est
,
Spiritum
Sanctum
invocat
,
per
quem
accipiat
simul
&
scientiae
gustum
,
&
gratiae
condimentum
.
Et
benè
scientiae
quae
in
osculo
datur
,
cum
amore
recipitur
;
quia
amoris
indicium
osculum
est
.
Those
that
are
thus
priviledged
,
are
the
●ilii
Lucis
,
called
,
as
Beda
interpreteth
it
,
by
the
illustrious
name
of
Day
,
splendid
in
perpetuas
eternitates
;
the
precious
stones
,
foundation
of
the
Jerusalem
of
Gold
:
For
this
title
of
honour
the
great
Augustine
gave
to
the
most
eloquent
St.
Cyprian
;
And
both
these
merited
it
,
and
with
them
the
Areopagite
,
Athanasius
,
Basil
,
Nazienzen
,
Chrysostome
,
Jerome
,
Ambrose
,
Gregory
,
and
many
others
no
lesse
admirable
in
understanding
than
in
conversation
.
The
Theologer
cals
one
indowed
with
Sanctity
,
And
here
see
under
the
type
of
a
Solecism
a
secret
mystery
hinted
by
S.
Ambrose
,
glanced
at
by
David
;
Consolaber
is
ME
?
if
Perspective
do
not
teach
you
,
that
the
Centrick
lines
of
both
the
eyes
,
called
the
Axis's
,
doe
concurre
to
turn
to
one
point
,
wherein
both
the
eyes
serve
but
for
one
,
for
they
see
not
the
object
doubly
represented
,
but
singly
,
as
if
there
was
no
more
but
one
eye
howbeit
it
must
be
confessed
,
that
the
sight
as
double
is
more
strong
,
more
distinct
and
able
to
judg
of
distant
objects
.
If
to
the
knowledg
and
vision
of
God
the
eyes
of
Faith
and
Science
concurre
,
(
which
happily
is
that
which
the
kingly
Saint
desired
,
)
can
any
one
doubt
if
such
a
sight
be
more
distinct
and
discerning
?
Therefore
the
Sciences
are
not
prejudicial
to
Sanctity
,
but
rather
assistant
as
companions
,
or
at
least
subservient
as
hand-maids
.
As
(
again
)
to
the
example
of
Christ
,
to
see
how
little
he
favoured
the
ignorant
Saint
in
comparison
of
the
Wise
;
it
sufficeth
to
remember
,
that
where
he
in
recounting
the
list
of
our
miseries
,
so
generously
extends
his
armes
,
he
only
debarres
ignorance
,
nor
would
he
suffer
her
darkness
to
have
any
place
in
the
Light
of
the
World
.
In
poverty
necessitous
,
in
weaknesse
drooping
,
in
sollitude
abandoned
,
in
contempts
neglected
,
in
nakednesse
abashed
,
in
pains
tormented
,
on
the
cross
murthered
:
satiated
with
opprobries
,
and
from
the
crown
of
the
head
to
the
soal
of
the
foot
abounding
with
dolours
:
amongst
such
a
multitude
of
maladies
,
he
would
not
admit
of
Ignorance
.
Under
the
hairy
skin
of
the
salvage
Esau
was
reteined
the
voice
of
Jacob
,
so
that
as
being
the
Wisedome
of
the
Father
he
was
not
,
and
Master
of
the
World
,
he
would
not
be
Ignorant
.
For
if
that
he
spake
not
more
highly
of
what
he
did
,
it
was
because
he
would
not
be
a
Sun
to
the
eyes
of
Batts
;
condescending
too
much
in
being
a
Lamp
.
But
if
he
then
was
silent
,
he
hath
spoken
ever
since
for
these
sixteen
Golden
Ages
,
which
the
Church
hath
hitherto
seen
;
he
had
spoke
I
say
with
tongues
and
pens
of
so
many
and
so
illustrious
Doctors
of
the
World
,
that
from
him
,
as
the
fountains
from
the
Sea
,
have
took
all
the
splendor
and
all
the
profusion
of
that
Doctrine
,
wherewith
,
to
the
profit
of
Posterity
,
they
have
so
copiously
.
fill'd
their
voluminous
labours
.
Laudate
igitur
pueri
Dominum
,
Ignorance
,
and
Dignity
.
MIserably
simple
are
those
Statuaries
who
know
not
how
to
form
a
Giant
of
Terrible
aspect
,
if
in
the
posture
of
a
mad
man
they
make
him
not
to
distend
his
armes
,
and
il-favouredly
stradle
with
his
legs
,
as
if
he
would
measure
the
World
at
a
stride
.
The
same
,
saith
Plutarch
,
befals
to
those
Princes
,
who
believe
themselves
to
be
most
majestical
,
when
they
make
themselves
appear
most
terrible
.
And
therefore
they
assume
an
austere
life
,
with
an
artificial
severity
contracting
their
brows
,
and
elevating
their
looks
,
so
that
beholding
them
,
you
may
properly
apply
to
them
what
the
Poet
saith
of
Pluto
;
—
Magna
pars
Regni
trucis
Est
ipse
Dominus
,
How
aptly
would
it
evene
,
if
we
might
whisper
into
their
eares
,
what
a
most
prudent
Emperour
told
the
Senate
of
Rome
,
when
he
understood
the
designe
they
had
to
degrade
him
,
because
being
troubled
with
the
Gout
,
he
could
not
come
abroad
in
person
to
manage
the
publick
affaires
;
He
caused
himself
to
be
brought
into
the
Senate-house
,
shewing
with
a
long
Oration
,
that
he
had
as
free
a
mind
,
as
deficient
feet
,
and
left
them
in
a
confusion
with
these
words
:
Nescitis
caput
imperare
,
non
pedes
?
The
repute
of
being
a
man
of
great
judgment
:
and
not
a
frowning
countenance
,
makes
the
Grandees
esteemed
;
nor
is
he
the
most
Majestical
that
's
the
most
stately
;
He
that
knows
most
,
and
can
do
most
;
he
who
is
all
Eye
and
all
Scepter
(
which
was
the
Hierogliphick
,
and
Character
with
which
the
Egyptians
exprest
the
Idea
of
a
King
)
he
is
most
a
Prince
,
he
hath
most
of
Divine
.
Nor
can
he
be
said
to
know
sufficiently
,
who
being
an
Arbitrator
of
publique
and
private
interests
,
hath
not
wit
,
and
consequently
a
judgment
informed
by
those
Sciences
,
which
dictate
to
him
what
he
ought
,
and
what
he
may
doe
as
a
Prince
,
as
a
Judg
,
and
as
a
Father
.
On
the
contrary
a
Prince
loseth
so
much
of
his
Dignity
,
as
he
wants
of
his
Knowledge
,
being
thereby
necessitated
to
see
with
anothers
eyes
,
or
to
put
others
eyes
into
his
head
to
see
.
For
if
you
have
some
,
who
not
to
prostitute
their
most
worthy
part
,
their
Understanding
,
and
therein
become
subject
to
their
servants
;
will
by
themselves
alone
resolve
that
,
which
requireth
another
balance
,
and
other
weights
then
those
of
their
defective
discretions
.
Tum

saith
Xerxes

Therefore
he
that
hath
not
an
understanding
of
his
own
sufficient
,
is
constrained
either
to
erre
to
the
ruine
of
himself
and
others
;
or
else
to
avoid
errours
,
he
is
compelled
to
share
his
office
and
become
a
Demi-Prince
,
and
the
Property
for
to
father
the
mis-government
of
a
corrupt
and
mercenary
Counsel
:
whereas
those
only
are
compleat
and
absolute
,
in
whom
the
scales
of
Power
,
and
Policy
,
proportionably
to
the
State
they
govern
,
are
suspended
in
aequilibrium
.
John
the
Emperor
therefore
chose
rather
to
die
,
than
let
his
hand
be
cut
off
,
wounded
by
an
envenomed
dart
,
and
gives
this
reason
.
Because
having
but
one
hand
we
shall
be
no
more
than
half
an
Emperour
,
nor
can
wee
by
our self
hold
the
reigns
of
Sovereignity
,
to
which
both
our
hands
are
little
enough
;
and
he
,
who
together
with
prudence
wants
the
half
of
the
draught
of
a
perfect
Prince
,
doth
not
he
seem
,
in
being
ignorant
,
to
be
but
half
a
Prince
?
What
strange
Capricio
came
into
a
certain
mans
head
,
to
write
and
teach
to
the
World
:
That
the
most
necessary
quality
of
a
Prince
is
Ignorance
:
that
only
line
sufficing
him
for
an
intire
Encyclopaedia
,
which
Lewis
the
XI
,
desired
that
Charles
the
VIII
,
his
sonne
should
onely
learn
,
Qui
nescit
dissimilare
,
nescit
regnare
.
He
held
it
for
an
insallible
Maxime
,
that
one
man
cannot
be
both
Learned
and
Prudent
,
opposing
the
speculation
of
Sciences
to
the
practice
of
Government
.
And
thus
into
the
hand
of
a
King
he
puts
the
Scepter
,
to
his
side
the
Sword
,
and
to
his
Head
the
ears
of
King
Midas
.
Thus
Agrippina
educated
her
Son
,
Let
us
set
up
in
opposition
to
this
unworthy
errour
,
or
folly
,
amongst
an
hundred
others
,
an
Augustus
,
a
Germanicus
,
a
Titus
,
an
Adrian
,
an
Antoninus
Phylosophus
,
an
Alexander
,
a
Constantine
,
a
Theodosius
,
an
crowned
with
a
double
Lawrel
,
as
Sages
,
and
as
Emperours
.
Let
us
range
Augustus
in
the
front
of
this
Celebrious
Troop
,
who
(
upon
the
credit
of
Suetonius
and
Dion
,
)
every
day
though
in
the
height
of
the
importunate
affairs
of
Warre
,
and
under
a
pavillion
in
the
field
,
did
set
apart
some
time
for
his
study
;
that
so
no
day
might
pass
in
the
which
he
had
not
done
some
act
of
a
man
;
and
yet
neverthelesse
he
reigned
fourty
years
,
so
wisely
and
happily
over
the
whole
World
.
And
against
him
let
us
ranck
the
most
illiterate
Domitian
,
whose
imployment
for
some
hours
of
the
day
was
to
stick
Flyes
,
and
for
every
one
that
he
slew
,
he
boasted
,
as
if
he
had
been
an
Apollo
,
against
a
Python
.
Compare
Alexander
Severus
,
reverenced
as
Terren
Jupiter
,
not
so
much
for
the
Thunder
which
he
held
in
his
hand
as
Emperor
,
as
for
the
Pallas
he
had
in
his
head
as
a
Phylosopher
:
with
the
simple
Caligula
,
exposed
to
publick
view
,
attired
like
Bacchus
,
crowned
with
Lawrel
,
and
a
Tygers
skin
for
a
Mantle
,
which
represented
him
to
be
more
like
a
beast
than
a
god
,
and
let
us
hear
him
deliver
his
ebrious
Oracles
with
a
ridiculousness
conformable
to
his
garbe
.
Who
taught
that
Thracian
Consinga
,
Little
Alexander
whilst
he
spoke
with
the
tongue
of
Aristotle
,
his
Tutor
,
in
a
solemn
audience
,
which
in
the
place
of
his
Father
Philip
he
gave
to
the
Embassadors
of
the
Persian
King
,
satisfying
to
the
curious
demands
,
which
they
put
to
him
to
try
him
;
wan
to
himself
the
name
and
title
of
Great
King
,
whilst
he
was
as
yet
but
a
little
Prince
,
Iste

said
the

:
by
which
act
he
begat
in
the
Persian
as
great
desire
to
have
him
for
their
King
,
But
seing
that
the
Prince
and
his
Court
are
like
the
Satue
and
its
Neech
which
mutually
take
one
from
the
other
,
value
and
ornament
,
now
what
Neech
hath
a
learned
Prince
?
what
Court
?
Nero
was
a
Musician
amongst
Fidlers
,
like
an
Apollo
amongst
the
Muses
.
Elius
Verus
was
Emperour
of
the
Wind
,
in
t
he
habit
of
Aeolus
amongst
his
Courtiers
,
who
were
clothed
white
like
Auster
,
another
like
Zephyrus
,
another
like
Boreas
;
A
grave
and
prudent
Prince
amongst
Sage
Courtiers
,
resembles
the
Sun
amongst
the
Syrenes
,
that
with
their
songs
ravish
the
Planets
,
called
by
Cleanthes
their
fidlestick
,
because
the
Harmony
of
their
Scepters
accord
with
the
rules
of
his
beck
.
For
if
Manilius
of
Heaven
,
as
of
a
Court
,
finging
said
;
Seneca
had
not
a
more
lively
conceit
wherewith
to
express
the
Beatitude
of
his
Jupiter
,
than
the
placing
him
in
the
midst
of
the
Gods
of
his
Court
,
as
a
Sun
in
a
Circle
of
Mirrours
of
splendid
Diamonds
,
therewith
the
mutual
transfusion
of
rayes
from
him
into
all
,
and
from
all
into
him
,
the
light
of
the
private
knowledge
of
each
became
publick
to
all
,
and
that
of
all
,
became
appropriate
to
each
.
But
if
Jove
should
from
on
high
cast
his
eyes
down
here
below
to
the
discreet
Court
of
a
Learned
Prince
,
he
would
say
either
out
of
the
transports
of
stupor
,
or
pleasure
;
as
he
did
when
he
saw
all
the
World
exprest
in
the
little
Sphere
of
the
Great
Archimedes
;
where
In
parvo
cum

,
The
Syracusan
Dionysius
had
a
desire
of
studing
Phylosophy
,
and
making
himself
as
prosperously
a
Tyrant
over
soules
with
his
tongue
,
as
he
had
preposterously
over
bodies
by
his
sword
.
He
invited
Plat●
therefore
and
conducted
him
from
Athens
to
Syracusa
.
There
need
no
other
Master
,
to
polish
that
stone
,
on
which
neverthelesse
he
could
not
grave
a
Mercury
:
for
as
much
as
Plato
might
easily
make
men
Phylosophers
,
but
could
not
make
beast
men
.
He
came
with
his
mouth
full
of
his
Attick
hony
,
but
that
spunge
steep't
in
humane
blood
could
not
im-bibe
a
drop
.
Yet
,
notwithstanding
,
whilest
Dionysius
heard
him
,
all
the
Court
changed
Scene
,
as
so
many
inchanted
Castles
,
which
at
the
shake
of
a
magick
rod
,
are
changed
from
one
thing
to
another
.
The
Royal
Palace
,
Shambles
of
Syracusa
,
and
rather
a
Caucuses
Den
than
a
Princes
Palace
,
suddenly
was
transformed
into
a
I
yceum
,
or
rather
a
Temple
of
Sapience
in
which
not
the
men
only
,
but
even
the
scenes
of
the
pavement
seemed
to
phylosophate
;
since
there
was
not
so
much
as
a
Palm
on
the
wall
,
which
shewed
not
the
design
of
Geometrical
Demonstrations
,
or
the
computation
of
Phylosophical
numbers
.
Now
Dionysius
had
buried
the
name
of
a
publick
Carnifex
in
that
of
a
Philosopher
;
and
those
which
till
then
had
abhorr'd
him
as
a
Hellish
Fury
,
began
to
respect
him
as
a
Demi-God
amongst
Princes
.
So
much
can
Learning
doe
in
a
Prince
,
so
much
can
a
Prince
professing
Learning
doe
in
a
Court
!
Ignorance
and
Profession
of
Arms.
I
May
possibly
find
some
difficulty
in
my
undertaking
to
demonstrate
,
that
learning
in
a
Souldier
,
is
not
to
hang
a
Chain
of
pearl
about
his
neck
,
and
to
make
him
liker
a
Bridegroom
than
a
Warriour
.
Some
are
of
an
opinion
,
that
Learning
weakens
the
courage
,
exhaling
the
spirits
,
from
the
heart
,
and
consuming
them
in
the
head
,
whereupon
as
it
is
profitable
to
such
as
use
the
pen
,
so
it
becomes
incommodious
to
such
as
manage
the
sword
.
Scilicet
ingenuas
dedicisse
sideliter
artes
Emolit
mores
,
The
most
ingenious
animals
,
say
they
;
are
the
most
timerous
:
and
the
most
salvage
,
and
indomable
,
are
the
most
strong
and
couragious
.
Philosophy
,
the
Laws
,
and
Poetry
,
are
no
greater
ornaments
to
a
Souldier
,
than
for
a
Poet
to
handle
his
sword
,
for
a
Civilian
to
order
a
Musket
,
for
a
Phylosopher
to
trail
a
Pike
.
Hercules
perceived
this
,
and
stands
recorded
as
an
example
to
others
in
that
act
of
his
,
when
he
broke
his
Lute
upon
the
head
of
his
master
Linus
,
and
ran
out
of
School
;
the
fidle-stick
not
becoming
that
hand
,
which
should
use
the
Club
,
nor
the
harmonious
melody
of
Musick
suting
with
him
that
was
to
wont
himself
to
the
bellowing
of
Buls
,
the
roaring
of
Lions
,
the
hissing
of
Hydra's
and
cries
of
Tyrants
,
for
whose
punishment
he
was
born
.
It
s
true
,
I
pretend
not
to
perswade
,
that
a
man
of
war
ought
to
be
a
Plato
,
an
Archimedes
,
or
a
Homer
:
but
that
the
splendor
of
some
laudable
study
should
have
a
reflexion
upon
the
Genius
,
like
the
luster
that
darts
from
armes
,
or
the
picture
upon
the
shield
,
I
see
not
who
can
with
reason
doubt
.
An
Eagle
who
hath
eyes
so
acute
in
the
Sun
,
and
tallons
so
strong
for
the
prey
;
An
Hercules
,
which
knows
how
to
tame
monsters
with
his
hand
,
and
to
beare
the
Heavens
on
his
head
;
An
Apollo
,
who
hung
at
his
side
both
his
Harp
and
Quiver
;
A
Pallas
,
with
a
Pen
in
one
hand
,
and
a
Pike
in
the
other
:
Lastly
,
a
Souldier
with
a
certain
mixture
of
Learning
;
what
indecorum
is
there
in
these
?
Is
the
rustinesse
of
the
wit
a
lustre
and
beauty
,
when
it
s
so
dishonorable
,
on
the
sword
and
armes
?
Is
there
such
enmity
,
between
the
Pike
and
the
Pen
;
the
strength
,
and
the
judgment
;
the
combating
of
a
Souldier
,
and
the
discourse
of
a
Scholar
?
It
is
controverced
amongst
Criticks
whether
is
the
more
preheminent
felicity
,
Facere
scribenda
,
or
else
,
Scribere
facienda
.
Let
every
one
please
his
fancy
in
this
,
but
there
is
none
will
question
,
but
that
they
are
Felicissimi
quibus
contingit
utrumque
.
That
your
hand
with
the
sword
know
how
to
attempt
works
meriting
immortal
memory
,
and
the
self-same
hand
to
know
how
to
transmit
them
to
eternity
,
faithfully
writing
,
what
it
hath
couragiously
atchieved
,
a
history
of
it self
,
doubly
glorious
,
and
like
to
the
Sun
,
which
to
the
appearing
in
its
true
grandure
,
needs
not
the
assistance
of
any
other
light
:
is
not
this
the
summity
of
that
glory
to
which
humane
merit
may
attein
?
So
much
the
more
,
in
regard
that
the
relations
of
Historians
,
are
slighted
if
prolix
,
and
suspected
if
short
:
there
be
some
men
found
in
our
dayes
,
that
in
writing
others
Battails
,
have
their
eye
only
upon
the
victory
of
their
own
profit
.
I
say
,
there
are
certain
men
that
to
keep
themselves
from
starving
of
famine
,
expose
the
immortality
of
fame
to
who
gives
most
.
Rapacious

Caesar
might
write
upon

rather
than
on
his
sword
the
Victories
of
so
many
Battails
,
the
glories
of
so
many
Triumphs

since
that
if
his
sword
made
him
victorious
in
the
Fields
where
he
did
fight
,
the
stile
he
did
write
,
gave
him
all
the
people
of
all
the
World
for
a
Theater
,
and
the
applauds
of
all
succeeding
ages
for
Triumphs

Alexander
with
one
and
the
same
smile
accepted
&
refused
the
profuse
offer
of
the
Sculptor
.
He
had
,
its
true
,
as
many
more
may
,
a
passionate
desire
of
being
Great
in
the
World
,
and
to
eternize
himself
to
the
memory
of
posterity
;
but
he
desired
to
be
known
by
the
World
for
a
mighty
Warriour
,
and
not
for
a
huge
Colossus
.
Whereupon
refusing
the
tools
of
Stasicrates
,
he
desired
the
pen
of
Homer
,
and
called
Achilles
fortunate
,
because
from
himself
he
had
Valour
;
and
from
Homer
Encomiums
:
from
himself
merit
,
and
from
Homer
glory
.
Alas

rather
to

should
I

the
glory

,
to
animate
to
reprehend
,
and
to
reclaim
the
Souldiers
:
and
of
a
perfect
practice
in
ancient
and
modern
Stories
,
and
of
those
parts
of
Geometry
which
pertein
to
the
Mechanicks
and
to
Fortification
,
and
somtimes
of
Astornomy
;
that
so
he
may
not
lose
a
march
,
or
cast
away
an
army
,
as
it
hath
more
than
once
unluckily
even'd
,
through
the
terrour
of
a
sudden
Eclips
of
the
Sun
;
so
that
he
be
forced
to
alledg
Ignorance
for
his
excuse
,
and
say
as
one
of
Romulus
,
who
made
the
year
but
of
ten
Months
onely
.
Scilicet

Of
all
this
I
speak
not
,
as
being
a
business
belonging
only
to
the
Commanders
of
War
;
It
shall
suffice
me
only
to
remember
them
for
a
conclusion
:
That
they
are
not
to
be
alwayes
in
the
Field
,
and
in
armes
,
but
that
one
while
times
of
Peace
,
and
another
while
the
necessity
of
repose
may
call
them
to
a
Civil
life
,
wherein
ought
they
not
to
have
some
of
the
rudiments
of
Learning
,
at
least
he
that
is
necessitated
to
the
honourable
conversation
with
persons
of
quality
,
and
of
parts
:
ought
he
to
resemble
the
Drums
which
in
times
of
quietnesse
quite
lost
the
sound
with
which
they
ratled
in
times
of
War
?
or
in
imitation
of
the
ancient
custom
of
those
good
Roman
Knights
,
the
War
being
at
an
end
ought
they
not
to
fall
to
cultivating
their
Fields
,
as
if
a
man
of
War
were
a
beast
of
rapine
,
which
having
gotten
his
prey
in
the
populated
Campagne
,
returneth
to
the
forrest
and
takes
covert
?
Paulus
Aemilius
having
vanquished
King
Persius
and
subdued
Macedonia
,
he
resolved
with
the
Barons
of
that
Kingdom
to
celebrate
the
Feast
of
Victory
with
sumptuous
Banquets
,
in
which
he
used
so
ingenious
a
method
in
martialling
the
Dishes
that
the
Table
seemed
a
pitcht
Field
,
in
which
the
●anks
of
Dishes
marched
up
against
the
Guests
,
who
first
began
the
skirmage
,
and
gave
the
first
assault
;
making
in
time
the
empty
and
discharged
to
retreat
,
and
giving
way
to
fresh
recruits
,
which
marched
up
to
their
succour
;
there
were
rarities
,
which
still
kept
their
first
postures
on
the
Table
;
and
there
were
some
that
seemed
to
give
orders
who
should
retreat
faster
,
and
who
more
leasurely
.
Some
came
up
covertly
,
and
in
Ambascado's
as
if
they
were
trecherous
,
others
openly
discovered
themselves
:
to
conclude
,
the
matter
was
no
less
delightful
than
the
manner
of
ranking
the
Napery
:
and
all
the
invited
bestowing
their
applauds
on
Paulus
Aemilius
,
he
replied
,
&
convivium
quam
jucundissimum
instruere
.
But
if
the
Knowledge
of
a
Souldier
extend
no
farther
,
so
that
the
conversion
of
War
into
Peace
,
is
onely
a
mutation
of
the
annoyes
of
the
Campe
into
the
delights
of
the
City
,
and
to
becomes
as
Aiax
,
to
day
a
great
Warriour
,
to
morrow
a
Flower
,
this
is
a
very
mean
Sapience
,
and
even
such
that
perhaps
it
would
be
better
being
without
it
.
How
much
more
honourable
and
delightful
entertainment
of
the
wit
doth
Learning
afford
a
part
;
moreover
,
to
dulcorate
the
ferocity
of
the
nature
,
and
to
civilize
that
I
know
not
what
of
salvage
,
which
is
contracted
in
the
sanguinous
profession
of
Armes
?
Arms
are
,
Cassiodorus
,
In
bello
necessaria
,
in
pace
decora
.
Of
Learning
it
may
with
much
more
Justice
be
affirmed
,
if
only
the
times
be
changed
and
you
say
,
In
pace
necessariae
,
in
bello
decorae
.
Achilles
who
every
day
learnt
two
Lessons
,
one
in
the
Desart
where
he
grapled
with
Lions
,
another
in
the
Cell
of
Chiron
,
where
he
harmoniously
plaid
upon
the
Harp
,
and
learnt
the
Secrets
of
Natural
Phylosophy
,
instructed
himself
how
to
live
both
in
Peace
and
War
:
in
Peace
amiable
to
his
friends
,
in
War
terrible
to
his
foes
.
This
also
was
the
glory
of
that
Roman
Achilles
,
Scipio
Major
,
that
in
War
was
like
Lightning
all
fire
with
generous
resolutions
;
and
in
Peace
was
all
light
with
splendid
wit
;
nor
was
there
lesse
admiration
to
see
him
manage
arms
,
than
to
hear
him
discourse
.
These
are
very
rare
to
be
seen
,
&
it
s
almost
a
miracle
to
find
eares
,
accustomed
to
the
sound
of
Trumpet
,
and
noise
of
Drum
,
and
yet
not
so
deafned
,
but
that
Wisdoms
voice
may
by
them
be
distinctly
understood
,
Rare
are
the
Martial
Hercules's
that
having
consummated
their
labours
,
consecrate
to
Mercury
the
Olive-club
taken
from
Pallas
;
but
the
merit
of
those
few
that
there
are
,
be
inhanced
by
their
rarity
having
those
two
incomparable
qualities
that
questionlesse
render
the
person
divine
in
whom
they
are
united
,
Terrorem
pariter
,
&
decorem
,
which
aggrees
with
what
Cassiodorus
saith
of
a
Squadron
of
armed
Gallies
,
that
whether
they
sported
they
could
not
be
more
goodly
,
or
whether
they
fought
they
could
not
be
more
terrible
.
Ignorance
and
Riches
.
HE
that
useth
Learning
for
gain
,
and
makes
use
of
Mercury
,
as
the
Gold-smiths
do
of
Quick-silver
,
to
separate
Gold
from
others
,
and
atract
it
to
himself
;
understands
not
what
a
malady
Ignorance
is
in
a
Rich
man
.
For
so
the
hand
be
full
,
they
never
empty
their
head
,
nor
limbick
their
brains
,
since
they
have
already
found
the
quintescense
of
Fortune
,
which
they
say
is
Money
.
Doth
it
suffice
to
be
of
Gold
?
then
it
matters
not
if
they
afterwards
be
as
that
beastial
Phylosopher
,
Golden
Asse
.
Now
a-dayes
,
money
is
that
which
purchased
Love
and
Honour
:
therefore
you
have
not
betet
letters
of
recommendation
than
letters
of
exchange
,
nor
can
you
tell
how
to
write
with
better
ink
than
that
of
Bankers
.
Ingenium
quondam
fuerat
pretiosius
auro
,
And
again
;
to
what
end
serves
such
Phylosophy
&
such
Sciences
in
the
head
,
if
they
are
only
a
means
to
break
it
,
and
let
out
the
brains
?
Behold
,
the
ancient
Phylosophers
and
you
will
rather
desire
the
hand
of
Midas
to
make
Gold
,
than
the
heads
of
these
fools
to
make
you
such
.
Who
shut
their
eyes
to
see
better
in
the
dark
,
and
to
make
themselves
Eagles
become
Owles
:
Who
threw
their
wealth
into
the
Sea
,
and
made
themselves
Beggars
,
that
they
might
not
become
poor
:
Who
chose
to
live
in
places
shaking
with
continual
totterings
,
and
conceited
they
lived
best
,
when
they
were
every
hour
in
danger
of
death
,
and
that
they
lived
most
secure
;
whilst
their
house
was
continually
ready
to
become
their
grave
:
Who
lived
in
Tubs
more
like
to
Dogs
in
their
Kennels
,
than
to
men
in
their
houses
:
Who
flung
themselves
into
the
Sea
,
&
threw
themselves
into
Aetna
;
the
one
because
he
understood
not
the
causes
of
those
fluctuations
,
the
other
because
he
could
not
trace
out
the
original
of
those
flames
.
Pythagoras
transform'd
himself
into
twenty
Beasts
;
Socrates
standing
all
a
whole
day
in
one
thought
,
and
resting
upon
one
leg
,
resembled
a
Crane
;
Anaxagoras
stedfastly
beholding
the
Sun
as
an
Eagle
;
Zenocrates
was
a
marble
without
sense
;
Zeno
a
stock
without
passion
;
Diogenes
a
Dog
;
Epicurus
,
a
bruit
;
Democritus
a
fool
,
that
alwayes
laught
;
Heraclitus
a
diserted
fellow
,
that
alwayes
wept
.
O
curas
hominum
!
Is
it
not
beter
to
have
no
head
,
than
to
have
one
with
all
these
fooleries
?
Is
this
to
be
a
Phylosopher
?
with
this
doe
the
learned
acquire
credit
?
The
pearles
that
are
round
and
plump
(
two
properties
of
Rich
Ideots
)
are
the
most
precious
and
most
esteemed
things
of
the
World
.
Make
me
of
Gold
,
for
then
being
but
a
Calf
I
shall
be
adored
as
a
God
:
begun
to
be
Canonized
of
old
by
the
Israelites
in
the
Desart
,
and
followed
even
to
these
our
dayes
,
as
it
also
shall
be
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
This
is
the
Phylosophy
of
many
Divise's
which
they
broach
in
contempt
of
the
Learned
,
especially
if
they
see
them
poor
;
illfurnished
to
resist
hunger
,
and
ragged
,
or
it
may
be
naked
.
But
I
wish
on
the
other
side
that
I
had
so
good
a
faculty
with
my
pen
,
that
I
knew
how
to
expresse
to
the
life
the
deformed
features
of
an
Ignorant
Miser
:
and
he
should
appear
with
the
same
Horror
that
Orgogna
a
famous
Limner
of
his
times
,
occasioned
in
many
friends
of
his
,
by
discovering
unto
them
a
most
mishapen
Medusa's
head
;
for
delineating
which
,
he
had
sought
and
collected
all
of
hideous
,
and
monstrous
that
he
could
find
dispersed
in
a
hundred
ugly
and
dreadful
animals
,
that
he
had
assembled
together
for
that
purpose
.
The
Spartans
to
represent
abominable
the
vices
of
Idlenesse
and
Luxury
;
the
enemies
of
that
severe
Republick
;
called
all
the
people
to
a
general
assembly
,
and
made
them
to
see
Nauclides
,
from
a
high
place
;
a
man
so
fat
,
that
from
head
to
foot
,
he
seemed
all
paunch
.
Clothe
him
with
the
subtilest
webs
,
with
the
whitest
linnens
,
with
the
noblest
silkes
;
vest
him
with
the
purest
wooll
that
ever
blusht
with
its
double
scarlet
dye
;
if
he
be
accosted
by
a
Demonax
,
you
shall
hear
the
blunt
Phylosopher
tell
him
as
he
did
such
another
:
Sir
,
this
Wooll
a
Sheep
wore
before
you
,
Put
him
into
a
house
ornified
with
the
best
garnishes
,
with
all
the
noblest
furnitures
,
and
what
have
you
done
?
Who
so
passeth
by
,
and
understands
the
conditions
of
its
master
,
that
inhabits
it
,
will
say
as
the
acquaintance
of
a
certain
slothful
Vatia
,
retired
unto
a
country
seat
,
passing
by
,
Vatia
hic
situs
est
.
Vivit
is
,
qui
se
utitur
;
not
he
who
makes
his
belly
a
slave
to
his
head
,
but
that
consumes
the
thoughts
of
that
,
to
find
means
to
cram
this
:
the
belly
being
bound
to
serve
the
head
,
by
providing
it
with
spirits
;
necessary
instruments
for
humane
operations
:
otherwise
(
pursues
he
)
qui
latitent
,
&
torpent
,
sic
in
domo
sunt
tanquam
in
conditivo
.
Horum
licet
in
lumine
ipso
,
nomen
marmori
inscribas
,
mortem
suam
antecesserunt
.
These
conditions
of
men
ignorant
,
and
rich
Themistocles
that
Sapient
Athenian
knew
very
well
;
that
seeking
a
Husband
for
his
Daughter
poor
as
himself
;
and
one
offering
to
have
her
;
rich
its
true
;
but
that
knew
not
any
thing
more
than
to
tell
money
:
whereas
others
would
have
run
to
this
Golden
hook
,
and
have
exprest
their
gratitude
to
Fortune
,
with
the
Hecatombes
of
Pythagoras
:
he
retir'd
with
that
Golden
sentence
,
which
was
worth
more
than
all
the
wealth
of
that
Illiterate
;
Quaero
virum
qui
indigeat
Pecunia
,
non
Pecuniam
,
quae
indigeat
viro
.
And
here
,
before
I
conclude
this
particular
,
I
can
doe
no
lesse
than
suffer
my self
to
be
transported
and
to
bestow
my
congratulations
upon
certain
happy
Families
,
in
which
not
so
much
the
riches
or
the
patrimony
of
their
Ancestors
,
as
Learning
hath
been
transmitted
from
Father
to
Son
in
continual
succession
,
as
to
Feoffees
;
so
that
like
as
amongst
the
Chickins
of
the
Eagle
,
Degener
est
qui
luminatorsit
,
he
that
cannot
endure
the
sight
of
the
Sun
,
his
extraction
is
suspected
amongst
them
,
and
he
that
at
his
birth
produceth
not
signes
of
the
same
vivacity
of
wit
,
and
love
of
Learning
,
is
accounted
spurious
.
Oh!
Stock
of
families
truly
happy
;
in
whom
there
is
always
some
Golden
branch
;
nor
only
uno
avulso
non
deficit
alter
Aureus
,
but
in
them
there
is
in
every
age
,
such
who
bud
,
who
flourish
,
and
who
germinate
,
answering
with
the
degrees
of
age
those
of
wisdom
,
which
are
,
to
Learn
,
to
Possesse
,
and
to
Teach
.
Excellent
was
that
custome
of
the
Spartans
,
Et
nos
modò
sumus
;
to
which
the
Young
replyed
;
Et
nos
erimus
aliquando
.
What
Melody
like
to
this
?
when
it
fals
out
that
in
one
house
the
Grandfather
,
Son
,
and
Grandchild
,
the
first
,
deserving
well
for
his
Learning
,
recounting
the
degrees
of
his
Honours
,
pronounceth
that
glorious
Fui
;
The
second
displaying
his
Colours
,
and
enjoying
his
splendors
,
saith
Sum
;
the
last
giving
hopes
,
and
assuring
himself
in
his
promising
towardlinesse
,
saith
Ero
;
to
be
able
one
day
himself
also
to
say
Sum
,
and
at
last
Fui
?
This
is
to
concatinate
a
pretious
discent
of
Children
,
as
Jewels
with
a
Ring
of
Gold
:
This
is
to
make
an
incession
of
Heires
,
like
to
a
rich
vein
of
Diamonds
,
of
which
every
one
by
it self
is
a
Patrimony
;
all
together
are
an
Exchequer
.
The
confusion
of
the
Ignorant
,
being
silenced
in
the
presence
of
better
Speakers
.
TO
the
Gust
which
wee
have
above
said
to
be
proved
by
the
Learned
in
the
exercise
of
ingenuity
,
and
detection
of
verity
,
I
will
now
oppose
in
the
last
place
the
Disgust
of
Ignorance
,
condemned
to
silence
where
any
man
of
Learning
is
present
;
for
as
much
as
he
that
knows
not
,
either
how
to
keep
silence
,
or
to
speak
,
findes
matter
of
shame
in
both
,
as
being
for
his
silence
accused
,
and
for
his
speech
condemned
for
a
Novice
.
Thus
Alexander
,
And
because
it
naturally
evenes
,
that
as
vessels
,
the
emptier
they
be
,
they
are
the
more
sonorous
;
so
he
that
hath
his
brain
worst
furnished
hath
the
greatest
verbosity
:
hence
it
is
,
that
these
more
ambitious
to
seem
Learned
,
than
cautelous
of
discovering
themselves
Ignorant
;
whilst
they
talke
freely
upon
that
which
they
understand
not
;
gaine
in
the
opinion
of
their
Auditors
the
very
same
reward
with
that
ambitious
Neanthes
;
which
perswading
himself
to
be
a
Son
of
Urania
,
thievishly
filcht
from
the
Temple
of
Apollo
the
Harp
of
Orpheus
;
and
getting
into
an
open
place
,
at
the
dead
time
of
night
,
to
have
the
greater
attention
;
there
began
to
finger
that
luckless
Instrument
,
which
had
not
a
chord
,
which
at
the
touch
of
so
rude
a
hand
sent
not
forth
in
answer
a
dolorous
Groan
;
as
if
it
bewailed
in
its
own
dialect
,
its
being
rather
tormented
,
than
plaid
upon
:
So
that
if
ever
it
was
true
that
the
Harp
of
Orpheus
merited
to
move
Trees

was
done

for

judging
of

more
by

tore
him

at

It
will
bring
to
mind
the
words
,
and
into
the
mouth
the
laughter
of
Demonax
;
which
over-hearing
two
dispute
aloud
,
one
propounding
,
and
the
other
answering
things
to
no
purpose
.
Thou
(
saith
he
to
one
of
them
)
milkest
a
Goat
,
(
and
to
the
other
)
thou
instead
of
a
Pale
holdest
a
Sieve
.
It
is
a
thing
really
,
that
moveth
,
I
know
not
whether
more
to
compassion
or
laughter
,
accidentally
sometimes
to
hear
read
,
or
recited
by
such
people
,
upon
subjects
,
although
of
noble
argument
,
tedious
discourses
,
and
yet
not
one
of
so
many
lines
touch
the
center
,
or
hit
the
mark
,
that
the
argument
prefixed
.
So
that
the
matter
that
there
is
treated
off
might
doe
to
these
,
If
at
least
you
will
not
grant
,
that
it
was
the
character
of
a
singular
wit
to
be
able
to
talke
away
the
time
,
and
speaking
of
every
thing
else
,
not
so
much
as
once
lightly
to
touch
upon
what
he
would
have
said
.
Thus
judged
the
Emperour
Gallien
in
a
solemn
hunting
;
awarding
the
victory
to
one
,
that
flinging
against
a
Bull
from
a
little
distance
ten
Darts
,
never
touch
him
with
any
of
them
:
And
presently
sent
him
the
Crown
;
saying
,
to
such
as
wondered
at
the
sentence
;
This
man
is
expert
above
you
all
.
For
to
cast
ten
Darts
so
little
a
way
,
against
so
great
a
mark
and
not
to
hit
it
,
is
a
thing
which
none
knows
how
to
doe
besides
himself
.
And
these
are
the
merits
,
these
the
rewards
of
the
sons
of
Ignorance
,
when
they
affect
Theaters
,
and
beg
applauds
.
But
if
by
misfortune
they
doe
incounter
with
deserved
scorn
,
instead
of
applause
,
you
shall
presently
hear
some
of
the
most
pertenatious
assume
these
bitter
complaints
.
Envy
is
fatal
to
Virtue
.
From
the
splendors
of
glory
arise
the
shadows
of
malice
.
Detraction
makes
it self
partner
in
the
merits
of
the
worthy
,
like
a
slave
intruding
into
the
Chariot
of
his
Triumphant
Conquerour
.
Again
,
from
the
more
modest
are
heard
those
ordinary
excuses
,
applied
upon
the
slightest
occasions
:
That
the
difficulty
of
the
matter
,
and
the
sublimity
of
the
argument
(
fit
only
for
an
Atlas
'
es
wit
)
is
above
their
abilities
.
And
sometimes
their
comes
into
their
heads
the
excuse
of
that
famous
Faustulus
which
dismounted
by
an
Ant
upon
which
be
rode
,
and
seeing
the
by-standers
laugh
;
remembred
them
,
that
he
had
Phaëton
for
his
companion
in
that
fatal
disgrace
.

How

of

are
seen
to
stalke
along
so
proud

stately
,
that
they
resemble
that

of
the

,
that
toucheth
not
the

but
only
with
one
foot
?
Looking
on
what
they
seem
,
they
forget
what
they
are
;
and
like
Bucephalus
in
his
trappings
,
they
vouchsafe

THE
SECOND
PART
.
IT
is
not
reasonable
that
the
defects
of
the
Learned
should
prejudice
Learning
.
Nor
ought
we
to
believe
that
to
be
a
natural
quality
,
which
is
a
vicious
custome
.
The
Horizon
obscures
the
Sun
with
the
fogs
of
the
Atmosphere
,
The
reflexions
of
the
Earth
(
if
their
error
be
true
who
hold
the
same
)
appear
in
the
Moon
as
so
many
spots
:
The
Aërial
Vapours
make
the
Stars
seem
unfixed
with
a
perpetual
trepidation
:
Is
therefore
the
Sun
contaminated
?
Is
therefore
the
Moon
maculated
?
Are
therefore
the
Stars
inconstant
?
There
is
not
that
thing
in
the
World
so
innocent
,
that
is
not
culpable
,
if
the
wickednesse
of
such
as
abuse
it
can
render
it
criminal
.
Arms
,
are
perverted
to
be
the
executioners
of
Cruelty
;
Scepters
,
the
supporters
of
Ambition
;
Beauty

formenter
of
Lust
,
Riches
,
ministers
of
Luxury
.
Honours
,
the
sustainers
of

,
Nobility
is
oft
Counselour
of
Disdain
.
But
what
doe
I
examining
one
by
one
by
one
the
better
things
,
if
to
be
short
Sanctity
be
subservient
to
Hypocrisie
,
and
Religion
to
Policy
?
Therefore
the
abuses
of
Learning
by
some
,
doth
no
more
condemn
it
,
than
flowers
lose
their
innocency
,
or
beauty
,
because
Spiders
feed
on
them
or
suck
venom
from
them
.
For
if
it
be
,
as
indeed
it
is
,
the
light
of
the
Intellect
,
so
also
it
hath
this
immutable
property
of
light
,
that
issuing
from
the
center
of
the
Sun
it
carrieth
with
it
together
with
his
being
,
rectitude
;
so
that
it
neither
knows
nor
can
diffuse
it self
otherwise
than
by
right
lines
:
thus
Learning
coming
from
the
glorious
Father
of
Lights
,
whose
gift
it
is
;
should
it
have
the
beams
of
its
understanding
inflexible
from
the
Rules
of
Verity
,
and
Reason
:
how
farre
happier
would
it
be
?
how
much
more
happy
would
the
World
be
with
it
?
But
seeing
that
onley
the
desire
of
it
is
little
,
and
the
pretence
to
it
to
great
;
it
seemed
reasonable
to
mee
to
produce
some
particulars
,
wherein
Learning
is
worst
used
,
not
onely
to
the
prejudice
of
others
,
but
also
to
the
deceit
of
who
so
knows
not
how
to
use
it
(
for
from
these
two
originals
I
have
took
them
)
to
imprint
them
on
the
minds
of
such
,
who
together
with
the
knowledge
of
their
errors
,
require
some
instigation
to

times

it
might
be
said
,
that
the

the
Ingenious
,
no
sooner
were
made
publick
to
the
eye
of
the
World
,
than
they
became
subject
to
the
purloinings
of
Plagiaries
;
and
the
Hellens
of

no

came

they

Some
think
(
I
will
in
a

wrest
to
my

the

that

,

the
Illiterate
to
steal
the

of

,
and
with
them
to
appeare
brave
,
and
become
rich
.
Howbeit
the
noblest
wits
,
and
accutest
pens
have
honoured
this
Art
,
imping
their
own
fancies
with
the
wings
of

it
holds
true

lesse

Writings
of

great

are
fam'd
to
be
a
beautiful
piece
of

,
whereof
the
design
is
his
own
,
but
the
matter
for
the
most
part
borrowed
from
others

And

if

,
if
others
like
them
,
the
labours
of
whose
Wits
Alexander
collected
together
for
him
,
every
one
should
challenge
his
own
,
he
that
appeared

Phoenix

would
appear

Plato
was
taxed
by
a
railing
Fellow
for
a
Thiefe
,
with
an
indictment
made
in
the
name
of
Philolaus

as
if
he
had
(
I
will
not
say
transcribed
from
him
a
great
part
of
his
Timeus
)
but
replenished
it
with
subline
juice
sucked
out
of
Writings
of
that
second
Pythagoras
;
behold
how
Timon
accuseth
him
.
Exiguum
ridimus
grandi

.
And
,
doubtless
,
were
there
but
an
Archimedes
,
But
in
my
judgment
,
the
whole
crew
of
such
,
who
in
their
Books
under
their
own
names
publish
the
labours
of
others
,
may
be
distinguish'd
into
three
orders
,
one
worse
than
another
.
The
first
are
those
who
gathering
from
one
,
one
thing
;
and
from
another
,
another
;
and
altering
their
titles
,
and
inverting
their
order
,
compose
Books
as
they
make
Garlands
,
wherein
many
litles
make
a
mickle
,
many
flowers
make
a
Coronet
.
They
have
this
discretion
to
steal
from
every
one
a
little
,
that
so
few
should
perceive
and
none
complain
of
the
theft
;
and
(
as
I
may
say
)
they
do
not
embase
,
but
only
clip
the
Coyne
.
The
names
of
these
Authors
sumptuously
writ
in
Capital
letters
in
the
Frontispice
of
their
Books
,
stupifie
them
to
behold
themselves
fathers
of
so
prodigious
an
issue
;
when
as
they
are
conscious
that
they
were
devoid
of
productive
virtue
,
or
seed
,
that
might
inable
them
to
the
generation
of
so
admirable
Births
.
Miraturque
novas
frondes
,
&
non
sua
poma
.
He
perceiveth
himself
indow'd
with
such
riches
,
and
yet
knows
that
he
had
neither
stock
nor
revenues
equivalent
to
so
great
a
purchase
.
They
hold
it
amongst
them
for
a
Law
,
never
to
mention
the
Authors
out
of
which
they
had
filtch'd
,
least
they
should
be
detected
for
Plagiaries
.
Nor
care
they
for
Pliny
,
M.
Varro
,
to
crown
their
Conduits
once
a
year
with
oderiferous
Garlands
of
flowers
,
in
grateful
acknowledgement
of
the
clear
,
and
wholesome
water
,
that
they
drew
from
them
.
But
it
happens
many
times
(
and
this
is
the
final
end
of
all
the
Art
of
such
lik
thieveries
)
that
they
take
upon
them
to
censure
as
Ignorant
,
and
condemn
as
shallow
and
superficial
,
those
very
persons
from
whom
they
borrowed
all
that
they
had
of
good
,
insomuch
as
declaring
themselves
nice
and
critical
in
their
opinions
,
they
are
unsuspected
of
felonious
filching
.
Just
like
to
torrents
,
which
where
they
break
down
their
banks
with
a
high
tide
,
diradiat
,
teare
up
,
and
beare
before
them
,
all
that
stands
in
their
way
,
but
of
that
which
their
impetuosity
carries
away
,
they
ingorge
the
most
solid
,
and
shew
only
the
stumps
,
sedg
,
and
mud
.
This
is
an
act
proper
to
Harpies
,
to
stisfie
their
hunger
at
anothers
Table
,
not
contenting
themselves
with
devouring
that
which
they
carry
away
,
unlesse
,
moreover
,
they
spoil
that
which
they
leave
behind
.
This
is
to
doe
with
worthy
Writers
as
the
Caitiffe
Dionysius
did
to
his
friends
,
Pharos
,
Scilla
,
and
Carybdis
,
of
which
the
first
splits
the
ship
,
and
wrecks
the
merchandize
,
the
other
with
his
circulations
devoureth
them
,
and
in
a
great
gulf
swallowes
them
.
nec
expuunt
naufragia
,
sed
devorant
.
Wherefore
let
them
hear
as
spoken
to
them
alone
what
upon
another
subject
the
Moral
Plutarch
records
.
Worse
than
these
are
the
second
,
who
finding
,
I
know
not
how
,
the
imperfect
works
of
Acute
Doctors
,
charitably
collecting
them
as
the
Ospray
the
unplum'd
Eaglets
faln
from
their
Nests
,
take
them
home
,
and
as
Orphan
and
destitute
adopt
them
for
their
own
legitimate
issue
.
The
shame
of
appearing
Ignorant
,
overcomes
in
them
the
infamy
of
being
thieves
,
nor
regard
they
Sinesius
,
Insere

vites
.
It
was
a
most
modest
Law
of
those
no
lesse
brave
than
discreet
Painters
of
Greece
,
observed
in
all
ages
,
to
honour
the
memory
of
the
worthy
Masters
in
that
Art
;
by
not
putting
the
pensil
to
the
pieces
,
which
they
,
overtaken
by
death
,
should
have
left
either
without
the
finishing
touches
,
or
else
imperfect
;
whereby
they
in
effect
would
tell
us
,
that
those
relicks
thus
diminished
;
and
unfinished
were
more
excellent
,
than
if
they
had
been
by
their
hands
exactly
completed
.

,
against
all
the
rules
of
equity
,
anothers
Principal
to
their
Vse
.
He
that
found
a
treasure
in
his
field
had
it
all
to
himself
,
But
the
third
sort
are
intolerable
;
namely
,
those
who
to
anothers
work
prefix
their
own
names
;
Men
of
impudent
Fronts
,
which
having
in
a
Book
no
more
than
a
Frontispice
;
as
the
Asse
in
the
Fable
that
had
nothing
of
a
Lion
but
his
skin
;
appropriate
all
the
rest
to
themselves
.
Just
as
if
the
patrozining
of
a
Book
were
the
dedicating
of
a
Temple
to
some
god
,
wherein
it
was
sufficient
to
Grave
his
Name
on
the
Front
.
What
else
did
Caligula
that
Beast
shrouded
in
an
Emperour
,
when
he
beheaded
the
Satue
of
Jupiter
Olympius
,
and
erected
his
own
in
the
place
to
beadored
as
Jupiter
?
One
of
these
being
convicted
of
such
a
like
theft
,
whilest
it
was
expected
,
that
not
being
able
to
cover
the
fact
with
lies
;
he
should
at
least
wise
have
covered
his
face
with
shame
;
he
as
impudent
of
fore-head
,
as
dexterous
of
hand
,
put
himself
on
his
guard
;
and
pleading
in
his
defence
the
Sympathy
,
about
which
some
,
called
Phylosophers
,
keep
such
a
stir
;
boldly
retorted
:
None
could
prove
him
a
violator
of
the
writings
of
any
man
,
till
first
he
proved
that
there
was
a
disimilitude
in
their
minds
;
in
regard
that
two
Wits
,
uniform
and
consentaneous
of
genius
,
have
by
virtue
of
sympathetick
union
,
and
identity
in
the
motion
of
their
minds
,
and
order
of
their
thoughts
.
Now
Keplerus
,
Ita
forma
simili
pueri
,
vel
nutrix
sua
.
Non
internosse
posset
,
quae
mammam
dabat
;
Neque
mater
adeò
ipsa
,
quae
illos
pepererat
.
From
the
dexterity
,
that
many
use
in
filching
others
writings
;
is
occasioned
,
the
Jealousie
for
the
preserving
them
;
and
the
quarrels
when
they
happen
to
be
feloniously
stoln
.
Even
Nature
herself
hath
taught
two
animals
,
that
produce
two
the
preciousest
,
and
sweetest
things
;
so
much
the
more
ingeniously
to
defend
them
from
Thieves
,
the
more
greedily
they
seek
them
.
Thus
the
Cockles
that
gender
the
Pearles
,
when
the
mornings
light
discovereth
them
,
close
themselves
;
and
if
any
one
chance
sometimes
to
surprize
them
,
whilst
as
yet
they
are
open
,
though
otherwise
blind
;
Cum
manum
videt
,
Dedalian
Labyrinth
,
fill
their
hives
,
contra
aliarum
bestiolarum
aviditates
:
Id
se
facturas
consciae
,
quod
concupisci
possit
,
Nill
est
deterius
latrone
nudo
;
and
against
these
Thieves
,
And
doubtlesse
in
this
case
,
patience
is
very
difficult
;
and
passion
very
excusable
.
Even
the
Dead
Statues
of
brasse
,
saith
Casiodorus
,
if
in
the
night
time
they
be
strucke
by
Thieves
with
an
intent
to
break
them
;
though
they
have
not
sense
to
afflict
themselves
;
yet
they
have
voice
to
lament
themselves
,
But
,
behold
,
in
two
short
receipts
,
the
remedy
against
the
vicious
avidity
after
others
labours
.
The
first
is
,
to
perswade
your selves
that
the
VVorld
is
not
a
Judge
of
so
litle
judgment
,
that
it
cannot
from
publick
fame
,
or
rather
infamy
;
from
indictments
,
and
witnesses
;
when
so
thou
art
;
find
thee
to
be
guilty
of
felony
:
and
by
this
meanes
thou
wilt
never
be
got
to
do
it
,
(
although
occultly
,
)
out
of
a
hope
that
none
can
detect
thee
.
You
invert
the
order
of
things
;
so
that
the
method
of
those
things
seem
yours
,
which
you
transferre
from
others
to
your
own
use
:
yet
howsoever
though
you
should
be
a
Cacus
;
subtile
in
inverting
upside
down
the
traces
of
the
feet
of
the
prey
,
that
you
filcht
into
your
house
;
dragging
them
by
the
taile
:
there
will
not
want
a
Hercules
;
that
by
those
very
trails
,
will
trace
out
the
theft
,
and
fraud
;
and
punish
the
Author
.
Yea
,
you
your selves
,
will
let
slip
from
your
mouth
,
or
pen
,
something
;
that
may
advert
the
discreet
of
the
fact
:
and
you
shall
in
this
resemble
the
Raven
;
which
never
steals
so
subtlely
,
but
with
the
sanguin'd
beak
;
and
even
with
the
prey
in
his
mouth
;
he
croaks
:
whereby
,
afore
he
is
aware
,
he
charms
up
the
stones
,
that
flye
about
his
●ares
.
Nam
tacitus
pascit
si
posset
corvus
,
Nay
,
when
you
your selves
are
silent
▪
your
papers
shall
speak
against
you
,
and
your
own
Books
shall
form
the
processe
.
In
this
confidence
Martial
;
with
whose
Epigrams
many
made
themselves
passe
for
Wits
,
and
Poets
,
divulging
them
for
their
own
;
spent
no
words
in
the
accusation
of
Thieves
,
and
the
defence
of
his
own
,
Indice
non
opus
est
nostris
,
The
second
is
;
that
you
perswade
your selves
,
that
its
a
far
lesse
evil
,
not
to
appeare
Learned
;
than
to
be
proved
Ignorant
;
having
nothing
of
your
own
,
and
yet
fallaciously
filching
from
others
.
If
your
head
be
bald
for
want
of
hairs
(
the
Emblem
of
the
thoughts
,
the
riches
of
the
mind
;
)
you
will
not
take
those
of
the
dead
,
and
make
of
them
an
ill-shapt
Perriwig
.
Calvo
turpius
est
nihil
comato
.
Better
is
it
to
be
poor
with
my
own
,
than
rich
in
other
mens
speeches
.
To
be
able
to
say
,
This
is
mine
,
although
it
be
little
;
is
much
better
:
than
to
say
;
This
is
much
,
but
it
is
not
mine
.
The
preciousest
Verses
that
Manilius
could
read
in
his
Poems
,
were
those
two
:
Nostra
loquar
.
So
write
,
that
upon
all
your
labours
you
may
ingrave
that
Distich
,
that
the
Poet
Aristo
writ
over
the
Portal
of
his
Gate
.
Parva
,
sed
apta
mihi
,
sed
nulli
obnoxia
,
sed
non
Sordida
parva
,
Meo
sed
tamen
aere
,
domus
.
That
we
ought
not
to
assume
anothers
argument
,
but
rather
to
invent
new
of
our
own
.
IF
the
desire
to
become
immortal
to
posterity
by
the
Presse
;
did
but
as
much
whet
the
wit
unto
invention
of
matter
of
ones
own
:
as
it
sharpneth
ones
tallons
to
prey
upon
that
of
another
:
many
;
who
,
as
convicted
for
Plagiaries
,
have
lost
their
time
,
&
been
confiscated
of
their
reputation
;
would
have
eternalized
the
one
and
the
other
.
And
oh
!
how
much
more
would
Learning
flourish
?
and
in
how
many
better
imployments
might
we
spend
our
time
,
our
Studies
,
and
our
wits
:
if
leaving
this
sordid
work
of
changing
,
Quadrata
rotundis
;
and
putting
that
in
the
margent
,
which
others
insert
in
the
body
of
their
works
:
all
the
bent
of
our
thoughts
should
be
set
upon
enriching
the
Arts
,
and
Sciences
,
with
some
new
Discoveries
;
which
being
unknown
to
the
Ancients
,
may
be
beneficial
to
succeedings
ages
.
One
only
such
a
Leafe
,
would
suffice
to
merit
that
honour
;
to
which
many
times
monstrous
Volumes
but
vainly
pretend
.
Yea
,
the
only
inquisition
after
novel
inventions
;
although
we
succeed
not
to
investigate
them
;
Libera
per
vacuum
posui
vestigia
princeps
,
But
in
short
;
although
its
easier
for
him
to
fall
,
who
attempteth
to
sore
into
Heaven
;
than
for
him
,
that
contents
himself
to
pore
on
the
Earth
:
yet
that
Magnis
tamen
excidit
ausis
;
hath
so
much
of
glory
:
as
that
the
honour
of
having
ascended
,
out
weighs
by
far
the
disgrace
of
being
precipitated
.
And
even
to
these
our
dayes
,
the
generous
andacity
of
young
Icarus
,
that
flying
even
touch'd
the
Stars
;
hath
more
admirers
of
his
mounting
,
than
scorners
of
his
fall
:
—
Stivaeque
innixus
arator
Vidit
,
And
for
my
part
,
considering
,
that
without
either
fall
,
or
trip
,
its
hard
going
in
the
high
way
;
(
since
that
in
many
things
our
judgment
consists
more
in
believing
,
than
knowing
;
more
in
not
seeing
,
the
errors
which
we
have
,
than
in
not
having
them
:
)
I
have
the
same
resentment
in
Learning
;
which
that
freind
of
Seneca
had
in
another
sense
:
Ye
are
now
well
feathered
Eagles
;
and
sit
ye
here
idle
hovering
over
your
nest
?
Ye
have
tallons
,
and
beaks
,
and
are
ye
not
ashamed
to
be
still
fed
like
so
many
young
Swallows
▪
Go
for
shame
and
dig
your
livings
out
of
others
bowels
,
for
now
you
are
armed
,
for
now
you
are
Eagles
.
Every
thought
,
that
had
not
atendency
to
the
invention
of
new
experiments
in
Learning
;
Hyppocrates
esteemed
besides
the
mark
,
to
which
the
Learned
ought
to
direct
all
the
lines
of
their
Studies
.
He
alloweth
not
that
we
should
piece
together
the
reliques
of
dead
Authors
,
quasi
bona
naufragantium
;
but
,
that
we
should
set
sail
to
the
acquist
of
new
Merchandises
;
whereby
we
may
inrich
the
World
,
and
gain
glory
to
our selves
.
Oh
,
how
many
,
seeking
things
not
before
found
;
have
found
things
not
before
sought
!
The
only
desire
of
converting
some
baser
Metal
into
Gold
,
how
hath
it
sharpned
the
conceit
,
and
refined
the
wit
;
insomuch
,
that
thereby
those
rare
miracles
of
Nature
are
found
,
which
the
Art
of
Chymistry
knows
how
to
produce
?
And
what
mines
of
fundamental
experiments
,
of
a
true
natural
Phylosophy
,
are
there
,
that
discover
not
themselves
in
them
;
till
in
times
to
come
,
there
be
some
,
who
know
,
how
to
work
them
;
discoursing
from
the
experiences
of
the
effects
,
to
the
first
originals
of
their
causes
?
And
it
falls
out
in
this
,
(
saith
a
brave
Man
)
as
to
those
recited
by
Aesop
,
that
seeking
Gold
;
which
their
Father
dying
,
said
he
had
buried
in
a
field
;
all
fell
of
diging
it
;
whereby
the
field
,
of
sterile
that
it
was
before
,
became
fruitful
:
not
yeilding
them
Gold
;
but
instead
thereof
,
a
very
plentiful
crop
,
Truth
is
not
now
barren
;
although
she
was
so
prodigal
in
teaching
our
Ancestors
.
Etiam
quicunque
sunt
habiti
mortalium
sapientissimi
,
multa
scisse
dicuntur
non
omnia
.
They
studying
have
not
fish'd
all
the
pearls
;
speculating
have
not
discovered
all
the
tracts
of
truth
.
Worthy
and
famous
they
were
its
true
:
but
not
like
Hercules
,
so
,
as
that
they
have
found
,
or
prescribed
bounds
to
nature
;
beyond
which
as
pillars
,
it
is
not
lawful
for
men
to
passe
.
Capo
Verde
;
and
assigned
bounds
to
the
Navigations
of
the
Castillians
,
thence
to
the
West
;
and
of
the
Portugals
,
thence
to
the
East
.
Patet
omnibus
veritas
.
Some
of
the
Ancients
,
would
have
drawn
this
line
between
the
Greek
and
Latine
Poesie
;
whereupon
Horace
that
would
pass
it
,
interweaving
to
himself
in
a
Crown
;
the
Lawrels
of
Athens
with
those
of
Rome
:
in
that
he
made
the
Greek
Lyrick
Poetry
to
be
heard
upon
the
Latine
Gittern
:
was
by
the
more
part
of
the
Ancients
reprehended
,
and
his
compositions
rejected
,
as
children
of
a
Bastard
Muse
;
and
Hermophroditical
Monsters
.
This
necessitated
that
Poet
to
commend
his
own
style
,
in
the
defence
of
his
Muse
;
and
under
the
pretence
of
his
own
vindication
,
to
publish
the
crimes
of
others
envy
,
That
the
opposition
of
his
composures
proceeded
not
so
much
from
the
love
of
others
ancient
eligancy
;
as
from
the
envy
of
his
modern
grace
.
That
they
in
his
knowledg
,
condemned
their
own
ignorance
:
being
ashamed
to
learn
from
him
,
a
youngman
,
that
;
which
they
,
being
old
,
were
notable
to
find
out
.
That
this
was
the
original
of
all
his
emulators
malice
.
Vel
quia
nil
rectum
,
nisi
quod
placuit
sibi
,
ducunt
.
Vel
quia
turpe
putant
parere
minoribus
,
&
quae
Imberbes
didicere
senes
perdenda
fateri
.
And
,
doubtlesse
,
we
may
say
with
him
in
Minutius
.
Who
then
will
prescribe
bounds
,
and
limits
to
the
free
flight
of
the
ingenions
;
confining
them
within
the
straights
of
the
things
already
found
;
as
if
there
could
not
be
any
new
Discoveries
?
If
this
Law
had
been
known
to
Antiquity
,
we
should
at
this
day
have
known
nothing
.
As
silly
sheep
,
Quare
(
to
add
to
Dante
Lactantius
)
cum
sapere
,
And
most
apt
is
that
answer
,
that
the
Eccho
of
Erasmus
gave
to
that
wretched
Ciceronian
,
who
crying
,
Decem
annos
consumpsi
in
legendo
Cicerone
;
Heard
this
reply
(
One
:
)
which
was
as
much
as
to
say
,
that
desiring
to
become
an
Ape
of
Cicero
,
he
was
become
an
Asse
,
by
poring
on
Cicero
.
But
the
courage
to
undertake
,
and
the
felicity
to
succeed
in
the
discovery
of
new
and
necessary
things
,
I
do
grant
is
not
for
every
one
to
expect
;
for
such
as
undertake
this
enterprise
,
do
ordinarily
find
feares
in
themselves
which
affright
them
,
and
perswasions
from
others
that
retard
them
.
The
fixed
Stars
that
move
not
of
themselves
,
but
are
carried
by
the
Heavens
,
and
born
away
by
the
Common
Course
;
have
not
any
that
accuse
them
of
irregularity
,
or
condemn
them
of
error
.
On
the
contrary
the
Planets
;
which
so
generously
make
a
revolution
by
themselves
;
because
a
simple
and
most
regular
motion
;
with
an
appearance
of
ascension
and
declination
;
of
velocity
and
slownesse
;
doth
variously
contemperate
them
:
are
called
by
the
vulgar
,
irregular
in
their
motions
;
confused
in
their
revolutions
;
and
believed
not
to
be
errant
,
but
erroneous
;
not
to
make
Circles
,
but
Labyrinths
.
Alexander
that
had
so
great
a
Heart
and
so
capacious
,
that
he
could
conceive
within
it
,
the
desire
of
a
World
of
Worlds
;
being
come
to
the
Eastern
Ocean
,
confessed
himself
to
little
for
this
one
little
one
:
and
doubting
to
find
the
fortune
of
the
Sea
,
different
from
that
at
land
;
struck
sail
to
his
desires
,
that
carried
him
to
seek
,
on
the
other
side
of
that
Ocean
,
new
places
to
conquer
.
He
shewed
himself
prudent
in
his
fear
;
and
to
authorize
his
retreat
with
others
counsel
;
he
made
a
shew
of
complyance
to
the
reasons
of
his
Counsellours
,
who
to
disswade
him
,
said
;
Great
Monarch
,
With
that
Alexander
Constitit
,
If
that
Generous
Columbus
,
that
involv'd
in
an
Ocean
,
as
in
a
Deluge
of
water
,
discovered
new
Lands
,
and
new
Worlds
;
had
nor
done
more
than
this
,
when
in
despight
of
two
Republiques
,
and
one
King
;
(
following
the
advice
of
the
Winds
,
that
blew
to
the
West
,
and
Whispered
in
his
Eare
;
See
yonder
ample
lands
,
whence
the
exhalations
rise
in
such
great
abundance
,
)
he
weighed
Anchor
,
and
set
sail
,
with
a
Frigot
and
two
Carvals
;
and
launched
into
the
bosome
of
that
vast
Ocean
;
without
ever
ceasing
his
course
;
or
tacking
about
in
this
Voyage
,
in
a
Sea
never
before
used
,
or
believed
unnavigable
;
in
the
lenght
of
a
course
of
uncertain
bounds
:
discouraged
neither
by
the
encounter
of
Monsters
;
not
the
mutiny
of
his
men
;
nor
the
want
of
victuals
,
in
a
place
destitute
of
all
accommodation
for
strangers
;
nor
the
frequent
tempests
,
that
drove
him
upon
strange
Climates
;
nor
the
long
and
excessive
calmes
that
took
him
upon
the
Confines
of
the
Torrid
Zone
;
where
the
Heavens
for
the
excessive
heat
seem
a
Hell
:
would
Europe
at
this
day
have
had
those
aromatick
Spices
,
and
Minerals
,
or
so
much
as
the
knowledge
of
that
half
World
,
America
?
Would
Columbus
himself
have
gained
,
I
say
not
only
that
priviledge
from
the
Kings
of
Castile
,
of
quartering
the
Arms
of
his
House
,
with
the
addition
of
the
new
World
that
he
discovered
;
and
with
the
Motto
over
bead
,
Por
Castilla
,
y
por
Leon
Nuevo
Mondo
hallò
Colon
;
but
those
immortal
merits
whereby
all
ages
come
to
acknowledg
themselves
debitors
to
him
;
and
by
him
to
Genoa
,
and
all
Italy
;
for
the
intire
value
of
a
World
?
No
otherwise
:
such
who
in
Learning
essay
to
make
the
first
way
to
the
discovery
of
new
places
;
(
which
is
nothing
inferiour
to
the
sailing
of
un-navigable
Oceans
;
)
is
the
necessary
,
that
amongst
the
annoyances
,
and
toils
of
the
long
Voyage
,
of
an
un-practised
study
;
amongst
the
familiar
,
and
frequent
conspiracies
of
desperation
;
he
conquer
himself
a
thousand
times
:
attending
,
as
those
Glorious
Heroes
,
Conquerours
of
the
Golden
Fleece
;
more
to
the
glory
of
the
end
,
than
to
the
trouble
of
the
means
.
Tu
sola
animos
,
Thus
Homer
;
the
first
Poet
Heroical
and
first
Hero
of
Poets
;
is
doubly
great
:
in
that
he
had
not
any
before
him
that
he
might
imitate
;
nor
after
him
that
hath
imitated
him
.
In
the
first
,
greater
than
his
Predecessors
,
in
the
second
,
greater
than
his
Successors
;
which
is
the
great
Panegyrick
,
that
in
two
words
hath
been
comprehended
by
Velleius
;
instead
of
all
that
which
others
have
been
scarce
able
to
expresse
with
many
:
—
Mari
quod
prima
cucurrit
Emeritum
magnis
mundum
tenet
acta
procellis
,
Thus
,
after
a
thousand
others
,
in
this
last
age
Gallileus
,
an
Academick
truly
Lincean
:
both
for
the
eye
of
his
wit
,
and
for
that
of
his
Perspective
Tube
;
with
which
he
hath
rendered
the
Commerce
of
Earth
with
the
Heavens
so
familiar
;
that
the
Stars
which
were
before
hid
,
no
longer
disdain
to
appear
,
and
suffer
themselves
to
be
seen
;
and
those
which
were
before
seen
,
discover
to
us
;
not
only
their
beauties
,
but
also
their
defects
.
At
the
foot
of
the
Sepulchre
of
this
most
acute
Linx
;
might
be
ingraven
in
lamentation
;
that
which
the
Poet
in
derision
said
of
Argus
;
Arge
jaces
:
Thus
Christopher
Scheiner
,
Carolus
Quintus
gave
only
in
picture
the
Stars
of
the
Crosier
(
a
Constellation
so
called
)
to
Oviedus
the
Historian
of
the
American
affaires
:
but
it self
,
for
a
reward
;
and
her
Stars
,
for
a
Crown
.
And
well
do
they
deserve
them
,
Admovere
oculis
distantia
sydera
nostris
,
I
have
instanced
only
in
these
two
,
that
so
I
might
not
overpass
all
;
since
I
could
not
speak
of
all
.
Only
to
us
that
succeed
these
,
ought
that
of
Seneca
to
be
inculcated
that
;
I
shall
only
add
thus
much
,
that
to
become
Inventors
of
new
things
,
we
must
not
make
our selves
Masters
of
Novelties
,
wandring
without
reason
(
especially
in
things
that
are
meerly
Natural
)
from
those
wayes
;
which
beaten
already
so
many
ages
,
by
the
best
wits
of
the
VVorld
,
have
upon
their
Confines
for
such
as
passe
them
,
Temerity
and
Error
.
Nor
do
as
Diogenes
,
going
contrary
to
the
current
of
all
men
;
as
if
we
alone
,
were
the
Sages
;
we
alone
dived
to
the
bottom
of
Heraclitus
VVell
,
to
fetch
up
Truth
.
Should
we
esteem
of
the
Sun
of
the
VVits
of
the
VVorld
,
not
by
the
light
of
their
greater
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
but
by
our
opposition
to
the
course
of
all
the
World
:
and
could
we
say
in
a
vaunt
what
Apollo
spake
by
way
of
advice
to
his
Son
Phaēton
;
Nitor
in
adversum
,
we
ought
also
from
him
to
hear
;
that
without
peril
of
precipitation
,
we
cannot
deviate
from
those
direct
paths
,
which
,
trodden
by
the
Chariot
of
the
Light
,
are
made
no
lesse
obvious
than
clear
:
Hac
sit
iter
:
manifesta
rotae
vestigia
cernes
.
That
the
Earth
with
an
annual
period
revolves
under
the
Ecliptick
;
and
with
a
daily
motion
turns
from
VVest
to
East
.
That
the
Moon
,
yea
all
the
Planets
,
(
no
other
but
voluble
Earth
)
have
inhabitants
people
of
different
nature
:
That
the
World
consists
of
infinite
Masses
or
Chaoses
,
and
in
its
immense
Vasts
comprehendes
innumerable
VVorlds
:
&c.
These
are
Opinions
,
that
some
Moderns
have
fondly
raised
from
their
Graves
:
calling
them
back
,
the
first
;
from
the
Sepulchres
of
Cleanthes
and
Phylolaus
:
the
second
of
Pythagoras
and
of
Heraclitus
:
the
third
of
Democritus
and
Methrodorus
:
with
whose
death
they
had
been
so
many
ages
buried
in
Silence
,
and
Oblivion
.
This
is
not
to
inrich
the
World
with
new
cognitions
,
but
with
old
errors
;
nor
to
make
ones
self
Master
of
those
that
follow
us
;
but
Disciple
of
those
that
precede
us
;
with
this
remuneration
:
that
those
very
dreams
of
theirs
,
which
were
not
blindly
received
by
the
World
;
shall
in
like
manner
sleep
with
us
,
in
our
Sepulchres
.
How
we
may
honestly
and
commendably
steal
from
others
Writings
.
BUt
I
find
I
have
enterprized
too
difficult
a
task
;
whilst
I
pretend
to
divert
our
thoughts
from
the
taking
feloniously
from
others
,
with
proposing
to
them
both
the
obligation
of
enriching
Learning
with
new
inventions
;
and
the
guerdon
that
in
so
doing
we
acquire
;
Much
better
it
were
that
I
should
teach
,
That
we
may
borrow
with
a
good
Conscience
,
and
not
only
without
necessity
of
Restitution
,
but
also
with
the
Merit
of
Commendation
.
All
the
thefts
of
light
,
made
upon
the
wheels
of
Apollo's
Chariot
;
which
are
(
if
I
do
not
ill
augurate
)
the
Books
of
the
most
celebrious
Wits
,
upon
which
Truth
shines
&
triumphs
;
that
condemn
not
the
offender
to
the
Rocks
of
Caucasus
,
and
the
Eagle
of
Prometheus
.
There
is
an
impunity
of
taking
,
provided
we
take
not
as
the
Moon
from
the
Sun
;
which
when
it
most
approches
it
,
and
most
replenisheth
it self
with
his
light
,
in
perfect
Novi-lunii
;
ingratefully
eclipseth
it
:
but
as
he
,
that
in
a
Mirrour
of
pure
Christal
receiveth
a
Sun
beam
;
and
with
that
,
doth
not
only
,
not
diminished
it
of
light
;
but
rather
renders
it
with
the
reflexion
,
the
more
splendid
,
and
glorious
.
Thus
the
Bee
,
equally
ingenious
,
and
discreet
,
Candida
circum
Lilia
funduntur
.
But
so
innocent
is
their
Rapine
,
that
without
diminishing
the
odour
;
without
violating
the
beauty
;
without
breaking
the
pods
of
the
Flowers
;
they
abundantly
gather
Wax
,
and
Hony
,
for
themselves
,
and
others
.
The
first
way
to
Borrow
with
applause
;
is
to
Imitate
with
Judgment
.
He
that
is
not
a
Giant
of
high
stature
,
let
him
climbe
to
the
top
of
a
great
turret
;
and
thence
inform
himself
of
the
straightest
wayes
,
and
securest
paths
.
He
,
that
hath
not
in
his
head
a
Theater
of
proper
Idea's
,
and
Idea's
of
good
designe
:
let
him
take
according
to
the
ancient
Custome
of
the
first
and
rude
painting
;
the
Circles
of
the
shadows
of
regular
bodies
,
and
compile
his
work
upon
those
models
.
Phrine
,
Athenian
Venus
,
And
from
this
,
of
reading
intensely
others
Learned
Labours
,
to
imprint
an
image
in
the
mind
conformable
to
them
:
may
seem
to
arise
those
occult
miracles
of
the
imaginative
power
;
which
hath
made
us
sometimes
see
,
rustick
mothers
,
of
deformed
faces
,
and
plebean
proportion
;
to
bring
forth
children
of
visage
and
features
Angelical
;
(
like
lovely
Narcissus's
growing
upon
ill-favoured
,
and
sordid
Leeks
:
)
thanks
to
the
form
,
which
the
mothers
frequent
beholding
of
beautiful
faces
,
and
exquisite
pictures
,
gave
to
the
tender
Babes
in
their
conception
.
Nor
because
the
Authors
are
excellent
,
and
we
stupid
of
wit
;
doth
it
follow
that
the
reading
them
is
of
no
avail
,
to
make
us
with
imitation
to
resemble
them
.
The
Eagle
before
that
she
thrusts
her
little
Chicks
from
the
Nest
,
with
great
circulations
and
turnings
,
soares
and
wheeles
over
and
about
them
,
striking
them
sometimes
with
her
wings
,
and
provoking
them
to
flie
:
whereby
the
Eaglets
,
although
they
are
not
a
jot
incouraged
to
follow
their
mother
even
above
the
Clouds
;
whither
at
one
distention
of
the
wing
she
is
transported
:
yet
neverthelesse
,
it
prompts
them
to
abandon
their
Nest
,
put
themselves
on
their
flight
,
and
to
try
also
themselves
upon
the
wing
.
Therefore
it
naturally
comes
to
passe
,
that
we
follow
that
which
pleaseth
:
especially
,
if
the
Genius
of
the
Nature
,
accord
with
the
Election
of
the
Will
:
and
the
toiles
therein
undergone
,
either
are
not
tedious
;
or
else
the
bitternesse
of
the
trouble
,
losing
it
else
in
the
dulcity
of
the
operation
;
they
are
not
felt
toilsome
.
Seeing
before
us
therefore
,
the
sublime
flights
of
an
happy
Wit
;
let
us
not
only
rouse
and
provoke
our
desires
to
imitate
them
;
but
le
ts
us
add
vigour
to
our
thoughts
,
and
courage
to
our
mindes
:
that
so
we
may
find
our selves
able
to
do
more
,
than
without
such
a
sight
we
could
ever
have
effected
.
Whereby
,
if
we
come
not
to
touch
the
Heavens
,
and
soar
above
the
Stars
;
at
least
,
we
may
raise
our selves
from
the
Earth
,
and
dis-nest
.
If
we
attein
not
to
expresse
with
equal
periods
,
the
loftly
circulations
of
the
exemplar
,
which
we
proposed
to
our
imitation
;
yet
we
may
do
as
the
Sun-flower
,
which
fixed
in
its
root
,
and
moveable
in
its
Flower
,
by
continual
looking
on
the
Sun
,
learns
to
design
in
a
little
Gire
,
that
ample
Circle
;
which
he
describes
from
another
Horizon
.
But
of
the
writings
of
others
to
profit
our selves
with
only
the
imitation
,
To
take
what
we
please
of
others
;
but
so
to
improve
it
with
our
own
,
that
it
may
not
be
mended
by
any
.
In
like
manner
as
a
Diamond
receiving
one
single
ray
of
light
,
that
penetrates
to
its
center
,
is
so
beautified
,
that
as
if
it
was
depainted
with
a
thousand
varieties
of
colours
;
the
Sun
it self
is
not
so
glorious
,
&
the
Stars
eclips
and
in
envy
hide
their
heads
there
at
.
Is
it
not
in
the
stealing
of
knowledge
,
as
to
take
a
little
light
foame
of
the
Sea
,
to
mix
it
with
the
coelestial
seed
of
his
Wit
;
so
that
that
which
was
unprofitable
,
and
vile
matter
,
becomes
no
lesse
than
a
Venus
:
forming
to
himself
a
composure
of
more
than
ordinary
beauty
.
That
famous
Labour
of
Phydias
,
Jupiter
Olympus
;
the
miracle
of
Carving
,
and
of
the
World
:
was
of
whitest
Ivory
.
But
the
Elephants
could
not
therefore
boast
of
that
divine
Master-piece
as
theirs
:
nor
charge
the
Graver
of
stealing
that
beautiful
material
,
which
rendered
his
Labour
so
famous
.
The
exact
proportion
of
the
members
;
the
majestick
features
of
the
divine
visage
;
aud
what
else
that
made
that
Statue
the
best
in
the
World
for
beauty
,
and
value
;
all
was
the
Art
of
the
Carver
,
not
the
merit
of
the
Elephant
.
But
this
is
yet
more
lively
illustrated
by
the
Artifices
of
the
famous
Fountains
of
Rome
,
of
Tivoly
,
of
Frascati
:
where
the
waters
sport
in
their
torments
,
and
in
their
ingenious
obedience
change
themselves
into
more
shapes
then
the
Poets
Proteus
.
They
are
seen
from
the
slime
and
gravel
of
vast
niches
so
to
distil
drop
by
drop
into
small
rain
,
that
the
Clouds
never
did
it
more
naturally
upon
the
Earth
:
To
imitate
as
it
were
the
Issuing
of
the
winds
out
of
the
caverne
of
Aeölus
;
the
South
with
moist
Aires
;
Zephyrus
with
pleasing
Gales
;
Boreas
with
blustering
and
cold
Blasts
:
To
diffuse
themselves
so
subtlely
,
and
dilate
themselves
so
equally
:
that
they
seeme
transparent
vails
displayed
in
the
Aire
:
To
sub-divide
themselves
into
little
drops
,
and
form
themselves
as
it
were
into
a
dewy
Cloud
;
which
incountering
with
the
Sun
,
becomes
a
Rain-bow
,
painted
with
perfect
colours
:
To
revive
with
motion
dead
Statues
,
and
variously
acting
them
in
diverse
shapes
:
To
start
thievishly
out
of
the
ground
,
and
to
mount
,
and
to
suspend
in
the
Air
with
high
spirtings
:
To
sob
,
as
if
grieved
:
to
roar
,
as
if
inraged
;
to
sing
,
as
if
delighted
;
not
only
to
renew
to
the
World
that
which
Tertullian
calleth
Portentosissimum
Archimedis
munificentiam
,
But
this
kind
of
mending
things
,
so
that
they
no
more
appear
what
before
they
were
,
and
by
that
means
become
ours
:
well
known
,
but
ill
practised
by
people
able
indeed
to
change
;
but
not
to
amend
:
hath
rendered
them
so
much
the
more
culpable
,
by
how
much
it
is
a
greater
fault
to
deform
the
beauty
,
and
to
deface
the
comlinesse
of
an
exact
composure
,
than
singly
to
steal
it
.
To
●lie
the
infamy
of
Thieves
;
they
become
Homicides
:
bereaving
the
life
of
the
beauty
from
those
things
they
take
;
whilst
they
dismember
the
intire
,
and
disorder
the
disjoynted
;
with
so
infelicitous
a
felicity
in
the
doing
it
;
that
in
a
few
draughts
of
the
Pen
,
they
transform
a
Helen
into
a
Hecuba
;
and
an
Achilles
into
a
Thirsites
.
They
do
by
others
works
,
against
their
wils
;
as
the
Athenians
did
in
despight
of
the
three
hundred
Brazen
Statues
of
the
famous
Demetrius
;
which
by
way
of
disgrace
and
shame
to
his
name
,
they
melted
;
and
transfound
them
into
Vessels
of
the
vilest
,
and
most
sordid
use
.
The
Rod
of
Circes
,
and
the
Pen
of
these
strive
in
power
:
this
,
being
able
with
ignorance
to
transform
beautiful
composures
,
into
deformed
Monsters
:
as
that
with
Magick
could
change
Gallant
Heroes
,
into
sordid
Animals
.
The
like
treatment
found
the
Verses
of
an
excellent
Poet
,
with
an
illiterate
Comoedian
:
which
imitating
with
tumblings
,
and
with
that
which
Cassiodorus
calls
the
mute
,
and
loquatious
speech
of
the
hands
;
the
ancient
Mystery
of
the
Mimmicks
:
so
il-favoredly
represented
that
by
Actions
,
which
Poetry
had
exprest
by
Words
;
that
in
the
Fables
of
Niobe
,
and
of
Daphne
;
that
changed
into
a
stone
,
and
this
into
a
tree
;
in
this
he
seemed
a
tree
,
and
in
that
a
stone
.
Saltavit
Nioben
,
When
in
stealing
from
others
we
use
that
caution
and
reverence
,
with
which
the
Eagle
snatcht
,
and
carried
the
Idan
Boy
into
Heaven
,
without
hurting
him
with
his
tallons
or
tearing
his
clothes
;
and
which
Leorcas
with
no
less
judgment
than
Art
expressed
in
Brasse
,
Quem
recitas
meus
est
,
To
the
imbelishment
we
make
,
as
it
were
with
an
alteration
of
more
noble
Quality
,
whence
the
things
are
happily
changed
(
which
I
have
said
is
a
manner
of
robbing
innocēt
&
commendable
(
I
add
in
the
last
place
the
increase
of
the
Quantity
;
when
a
great
masse
is
formed
of
a
little
seed
,
and
a
tree
of
a
shrub
.
Many
things
proceed
from
the
Pens
of
good
writers
,
spoken
some
times
only
incidentally
,
and
as
if
pointed
at
by
the
finger
;
which
by
him
that
hath
not
a
very
apprehensive
eye
are
easily
over-look't
:
and
yet
they
are
Cyphers
pregnant
,
somtimes
with
lofty
,
sometimes
with
large
conceits
;
and
he
that
knows
how
to
unloose
that
which
in
them
is
knit
up
,
of
nothing
makes
much
,
and
all
for
himself
,
all
his
own
.
The
Heaven
of
many
Stars
as
it
hath
;
to
no
more
but
seven
hath
assigned
proper
Spheres
,
and
liberty
and
room
to
runne
wandering
through
that
liquid
and
subtle
Air
,
which
from
here
below
diffuseth
it self
even
to
the
Firmament
.
But
if
all
had
been
assigned
their
proper
periods
and
revolutions
;
whereas
now
the
World
to
make
room
for
seven
only
is
so
vast
:
what
would
it
be
,
if
so
many
millions
of
Stars
had
been
consigned
their
proper
Circles
,
and
proportionate
Spheres
?
The
self-same
do
worthy
VVriters
,
in
composing
Books
.
Determinate
Matter
is
that
to
which
they
give
place
,
and
as
it
were
Sphere
,
and
revolution
,
handling
and
discussing
it
as
they
please
,
at
large
:
But
in
as
much
as
they
permit
it
not
to
dilate
hither
,
and
thither
;
I
will
call
them
in
this
respect
,
fixed
Stars
of
sublime
thoughts
,
and
lofty
conceits
;
able
to
replenish
as
it
were
,
a
great
Heaven
,
a
large
Volume
;
when
they
find
Spirits
and
Intelligences
;
that
know
how
to
manage
them
as
is
requisite
.
He
that
in
this
manner
robs
from
others
,
theives
happily
,
takes
little
,
adds
much
,
makes
all
his
own
.
He
hurts
not
an
Author
that
takes
from
him
a
spark
to
make
it
a
Sun
.
It
is
with
profit
neverthelesse
of
him
that
took
it
,
that
of
a
little
neglected
seed
he
forms
a
great
and
mighty
Tree
.
And
much
to
his
Honour
:
since
that
its
the
VVork
of
a
grand
VVit
,
upon
a
few
hints
,
of
some
naked
words
;
to
work
double
counterpoints
of
sublime
discourses
.
Upon
the
simple
track
of
an
Hercules's
foot
;
to
form
,
as
did
Pythagoras
;
all
the
intire
masse
of
a
body
,
composed
to
the
exact
proportion
of
all
its
parts
.
LASCIVIOUSNESSE
.
The
unworthy
Profession
of
Lascivious
Poetry
.
SAint
Jerome
,
that
brave
Lion
;
that
from
the
Cave
of
Bethlehem
made
the
roarings
of
his
voice
to
be
heard
through
all
the
World
;
to
the
terrour
of
Heresie
,
and
astonishment
of
Vice
;
omitted
not
to
give
a
shake
to
the
licentious
Lasciviousnesse
of
Poets
;
that
masking
the
Stars
with
unchast
Images
;
envious
calumniators
;
and
a
thousand
times
worse
than
the
Giants
of
Phlegra
:
they
have
assaulted
Heaven
not
with
stones
,
but
with
the
wickedness
of
the
Earth
.
And
to
say
the
truth
;
those
are
worthy
of
the
anger
of
Heaven
,
and
Earth
,
Quorum
carminibus
nihil
est
,
Were
not
the
Lascivious
thefts
of
Jupiter
sufficiently
manifested
to
the
World
with
other
Lights
;
but
that
they
must
shine
among
the
Stars
?
Did
it
not
suffice
that
they
were
published
to
all
the
Earth
:
in
Marble
,
in
Brasse
,
in
Pictures
,
in
publick
Scenes
,
unlesse
also
moreover
they
had
given
them
the
Heavens
for
a
Theater
,
the
Stars
for
Representors
,
and
the
World
for
Auditors
:
And
afterwards
to
tell
you
that
Jupiter
from
Heaven
sent
his
Thunder-bolts
against
the
Earth
,
guilty
of
those
vices
,
of
which
Heaven
was
the
Master
?
An
Adulterous
Calista
hath
the
Stars
of
the
Pole
;
and
makes
a
double
guide
,
because
in
directs
by
Sea
,
and
shipwracks
by
Land
;
whilest
shining
from
thence
above
;
it
seemes
to
teach
the
Chast
to
be
happily
Lascivious
;
there
being
a
Jupiter
sound
,
that
remunerates
Adultery
with
Stars
.
Sic
Ariadnaeus
stellis
Coelestibus
ignis
Additur
.
From
such
Constellations
of
obscenity
,
what
other
influences
,
then
Lascivious
;
can
redound
to
the
Earth
?
Architas
,
desiring
to
speak
in
publick
a
word
none
of
the
modestest
;
in
calling
it
to
his
lips
,
it
appeareth
so
unworthy
to
be
ingraven
by
the
tongue
of
a
Man
;
that
not
to
defile
himself
with
it
,
he
took
for
tongue
a
Cole
:
as
more
agreeable
to
the
matter
,
worthy
of
fire
;
and
with
it
not
so
much
writing
,
as
blotting
,
upon
the
surface
of
a
wall
;
either
exprest
,
or
hinted
it
.
Oh!
the
golden
Tongues
of
the
Stars
:
whilest
the
night
charms
all
the
World
to
silence
,
the
better
to
attend
:
of
what
speak
they
?
and
what
teach
they
?
They
publish
those
misdeeds
with
the
language
of
light
in
Heaven
,
which
for
shame
would
conceal
themselves
with
darknesse
on
Earth
.
But
I
wish
that
only
the
Ancient
Poetry
of
Gentilisme
was
guilty
of
this
;
and
not
exceeded
by
the
modern
of
Christians
;
that
not
in
depainting
the
Stars
,
with
imaginary
figures
,
of
dishonest
memorials
;
but
in
expressing
in
paper
and
which
is
worse
,
imprinting
in
the
mind
,
the
Acts
themselves
;
so
happily
or
rather
unhappily
busieth
it self
.
There
wants
not
to
the
Poetry
of
these
times
its
Ovids
;
that
subjecting
Parnassus
to
Ida
;
the
Lawrels
to
the
Mirtles
,
the
the
Swans
to
the
Doves
;
and
Apollo
to
Cupid
:
make
the
Virgin
Muses
publick
strumpets
.
So
to
these
Ovids
,
there
should
not
want
Augustus's
for
Mecaenas's
;
and
for
a
refrigeration
of
their
too
burning
Loves
;
the
Snows
of
Scythia
,
and
the
Ice
of
Pontus
.
And
herein
now a-dayes
the
evil
is
so
epidemical
:
that
from
the
antecedent
of
being
a
Poet
,
this
consequence
seemes
to
follow
of
being
Lascivious
:
as
Antisthenes
from
the
profession
of
Ismenia
,
took
that
consequence
;
Si
bonus
Tibicen
est
,
ergo
,
malus
homo
est
.
Who
would
not
have
sworn
,
that
Poetry
coming
from
the
Gentiles
,
to
Christians
;
should
have
done
,
as
the
Spartan
Venus
;
which
passing
the
Eurotas
,
said
to
them
,
that
if
they
would
have
her
company
,
they
must
break
their
Looking-glasses
,
deface
their
Bracelets
,
divest
the
Whores
;
and
not
only
clothed
herself
with
modesty
;
but
armed
herself
with
bravery
:
and
seemed
rather
a
Warlick
Pallas
,
than
a
Lascivious
Venus
?
Yet
,
that
which
is
yet
worse
;
to
that
liberty
of
Lascivious
writing
;
to
which
heretofore
was
given
banishment
for
a
punishment
:
honours
are
now
conferr'd
for
a
reward
.
We
advance
as
high
as
Heaven
,
and
amongst
the
Stars
adore
those
Lyres
,
of
the
modern
Orpheusses
;
that
have
opened
Hell
;
not
to
draw
thence
a
condemned
Euridice
;
but
to
couduct
thither
a
world
of
innocents
.
Their
Books
go
through
all
the
Earth
:
spread
through
every
Climate
;
become
Citizens
of
every
place
;
and
are
with
great
diligence
translated
,
that
they
may
speak
in
all
Languages
:
as
if
for
fear
the
Virgin
VVorld
should
want
Ravishers
,
they
wonld
disperse
through
every
Climate
,
incentives
of
Lust
.
They
bear
in
their
Frontispices
,
the
titles
of
the
Grandees
,
to
whose
name
they
were
by
the
Authors
dedicated
:
and
by
that
means
passe
so
much
the
more
freely
;
by
how
much
the
more
they
are
defended
.
Thus
many
times
,
those
come
to
be
the
Protectors
of
Impurity
,
that
should
be
its
Judges
;
VVere
Hyppocrates
now
living
,
that
complained
of
the
Publick
Laws
,
which
assigning
no
punishment
to
Ignorant
Physicians
;
But
if
in
like
manner
as
Lucian
,
made
the
infamous
tongue
of
the
Pseudologist
,
recount
with
anger
and
regret
,
the
sordid
offices
,
in
which
he
was
basely
imployed
;
we
might
hear
the
murtherous
Pens
of
so
many
Lascivious
VVriters
,
to
relate
one
by
one
,
the
obscenities
,
by
committing
of
which
they
were
insentives
,
in
the
hearts
of
such
,
who
with
too
great
an
intensenesse
read
their
venemous
writings
:
would
there
be
a
man
that
would
inrich
them
with
costly
rewards
;
that
would
honor
them
with
these
applauds
;
fit
only
for
a
super-humane
excellence
?
Lesse
criminal
was
that
libidinous
Hostius
that
using
his
Mirrours
in
abominable
speculations
,
ea
sibi
osten●abat
,
quibus
abscondendis
nulla
satis
alta
nox
est
.
But
to
conclude
;
Sibi
osten●abat
.
The
Dragons
that
being
poisonous
,
keep
themselves
secluded
in
their
subteranean
Dens
,
are
not
judged
so
faulty
;
that
we
should
therefore
go
hunt
them
out
,
and
slay
them
.
VVhen
they
come
abroad
,
to
infest
the
Air
with
their
breath
:
there
is
none
that
being
able
to
slay
them
,
will
suffer
them
to
live
.
To
publish
to
the
eyes
of
all
the
VVorld
Ea
,
quibus
abscondendis
nulla
satis
alta
nox
est
;
and
that
so
much
the
worse
,
by
how
much
the
more
exquisite
is
the
Pen
,
that
delineates
it
:
and
the
art
seems
of
greater
perfection
,
It
is
still
infamous
for
a
man
to
assume
the
habit
and
face
of
a
woman
?
and
to
transform
a
mans
self
,
not
into
the
habit
,
but
into
the
profession
of
an
over-grown
Hagge
;
Bawde
to
all
the
most
closely
contrived
obscenities
:
is
this
honorable
?
is
this
a
life
worthy
of
Statues
,
and
Lawrels
?
The
weak
excuses
of
obscene
Poets
.
BUt
let
us
hear
,
the
Apologies
that
these
make
,
in
defence
of
their
impure
Books
they
print
;
that
pretend
their
Fury
from
the
Torch
of
Cupid
▪
shewing
themselves
more
Fooles
,
than
Poets
.
Hear
their
first
Apology
.
That
facetious
and
merry
Poems
;
I
would
here
have
you
by
way
of
answer
take
notice
of
those
two
unfort●nate
Sisters
;
that
the
first
time
they
read
a
famous
Tragi-comoedy
of
the
like
nature
,
newly
published
in
print
;
became
so
good
proficients
in
impurity
,
that
they
presently
set
up
School
:
converting
their
house
into
a
Stews
,
and
divulging
themselves
for
VVhores
.
Of
so
many
married
people
,
as
heard
the
said
pastoral
recited
,
(
and
it
is
the
authentick
observation
of
many
ages
)
whereas
they
came
chast
;
there
was
none
but
went
thence
contaminated
with
dishonesty
:
and
practising
that
loose
liberty
of
Love
in
such
as
please
them
;
(
of
which
they
there
heard
the
precepts
,
and
saw
the
examples
)
discovered
unfaithfulnesse
;
and
with
the
dead
Adulterers
,
from
the
feigned
insentives
of
a
Tragi-comoedy
;
bore
away
the
true
Exit
of
a
Tragoedy
but
all
Europe
,
and
all
the
World
;
as
farre
as
these
Books
have
been
dispersed
;
how
many
variations
of
Scaenes
,
how
many
deplorable
Catastrophies
have
they
seen
;
while
mindes
that
for
the
prize
of
Virgin
purity
warred
in
candidnesse
with
the
Angels
;
having
drunk
in
sorcery
and
poyson
,
from
the
golden
Cup
of
inmodest
Poetry
;
have
for
ever
after
,
had
under
humany
shapes
,
brutish
manners
?
In
the
first
perusal
they
lose
the
virginity
of
their
eyes
;
Verterunt
pupillas
virgines
in
meretrices
:
next
that
of
the
mind
,
after
which
the
flesh
as
having
lost
the
salt
that
should
season
it
putrefies
.
Saint
Augustine
complains
of
Homer
,
the
first
Patron
of
fabulous
Poets
;
that
having
feigned
the
gods
,
some
Homicides
,
some
Thieves
,
some
Adulterers
;
he
had
made
Sin
a
Divine
property
,
&
thereby
unawares
insinuated
it
into
the
approbation
of
the
VVorld
:
sed
coelestes
Deos
videbatur
imitatus
.
But
these
,
that
putting
their
tongues
in
the
mouthes
of
Poetick
Persons
;
teach
Nature
to
be
two
imperfect
,
which
is
so
inclinable
to
the
pleasures
of
Love
;
whilst
the
Law
inhibits
the
procuring
of
them
:
or
the
Law
to
rigid
and
unjust
,
in
interfering
with
Nature
.
These
,
that
to
expugn
the
constant
honesty
of
Virgins
,
put
them
in
mind
,
That
beauty
fadeth
with
years
;
and
with
the
beauty
all
of
amiable
is
lost
for
which
others
court
them
:
That
its
in
vain
ingray
haires
to
wish
for
that
,
which
in
youth
is
refused
:
That
to
a
life
so
short
one
Love
is
not
sufficient
:
That
honesty
is
nothing
else
but
an
Art
of
appearing
honest
,
&c.
These
pestilent
Doctrines
;
these
poysons
extracted
from
the
wit
,
distilled
from
the
hand
,
let
fall
from
the
Pen
of
a
Christian
,
Qui
soli
uxori
suae
masculus
nascitur
,
saith
Tertullian
;
and
cupiditate
procreandi
aut
unam
scit
,
aut
nullam
,
saith
Happy
Minutius
:
what
other
effect
have
they
,
but
only
to
render
sin
so
much
the
more
facile
,
by
how
much
they
perswade
the
belief
,
that
this
is
rather
a
crime
(
not
to
say
Law
)
of
nature
,
than
a
vice
of
the
will
?
Age
wils
it
;
example
teacheth
it
;
occasion
perswades
it
;
weaknesse
excuses
it
;
let
it
suffice
,
that
circumspection
act
it
.
And
is
this
only
to
delight
the
thoughts
,
and
to
incite
abstract
and
Platonick
,
not
Epicurean
Love
?
VVould
(
I
will
not
say
an
Elius
Verus
,
and
Idolater
of
the
writings
of
Ovid
de
arte
amandi
;
but
)
a
Beast
,
say
any
other
;
if
he
had
the
rules
of
Learning
,
and
Art
of
Poetry
?
Nor
is
that
material
which
they
alledg
,
that
these
lessons
and
examples
are
given
by
feigned
persons
.
That
which
perswades
,
is
not
the
quality
of
the
Counsellor
,
but
his
reason
;
not
the
person
,
but
the
fact
.
And
besides
,
what
are
the
persons
of
Poetry
,
but
only
as
the
Caverns
of
Mountains
;
that
reverberate
the
Echo
?
The
voice
is
the
Authors
,
although
others
pronounce
it
;
as
the
writing
is
the
hands
,
although
the
paper
expresse
it
.
Love
disguized
like
Ascanius
did
no
lesse
inflame
the
unhappy
Queen
;
than
if
he
had
been
in
his
true
shape
,
and
not
concealed
under
a
forreign
habit
.
For
,
if
we
will
be
judged
according
to
experience
,
great
Mistresse
of
Truth
;
she
by
daily
practice
shews
that
in
reading
others
Loves
,
we
learn
our
own
;
That
com●assion
to
the
misadventnres
of
such
as
are
rejected
;
becomes
a
means
to
facilitate
our
surrender
at
the
like
request
.
That
that
,
which
in
feigned
persons
is
condemned
as
cruelty
,
and
obduratnesse
of
a
mind
to
averse
to
such
as
love
;
in
our selves
is
found
to
m●li●ie
the
heart
upon
the
like
occasion
.
Whereby
,
the
●inder
being
applied
to
the
Steel
;
there
is
no
more
wanting
,
but
a
blow
of
an
encounter
,
a
salute
,
a
glance
;
to
strike
fire
.
We
soften
our
own
hearts
,
in
others
flames
:
we
imprint
in
our
minds
the
seal
of
those
affections
,
that
others
fictiously
expresse
in
themselves
:
Quid
videat
nescit
,
I
blush
with
Clemens
Alexandrinus
,
to
remember
here
the
two
Venus's
of
Cyprus
,
The
other
defence
of
Lascivious
Composures
is
:
That
such
Poems
have
no
more
of
evi
but
the
appearance
:
That
these
are
vizards
of
Allegories
,
that
cover
the
sense
of
most
admirable
moral
Phylosophy
;
sauced
with
the
hony
of
fabulous
inventions
;
that
they
may
for
their
savory
cooking
be
the
more
easily
swallowed
.
Thus
by
ancient
custome
,
the
Laws
in
Candia
ordained
that
they
should
comprise
their
instructions
,
to
their
children
,
in
Musical
measures
;
and
a
great
part
of
the
Divine
Law
,
was
put
into
verse
by
David
,
in
the
Poems
of
the
Psalms
;
St.
Augustine
)
divine
sermonis
pariter
utilitas
inferatur
.
Werefore
they
may
write
in
the
frontispiece
of
their
Poems
that
Terzet
of
Dante
,
Ye
soules
induc'd
with
souud
intelligence
,
Observe
the
hidden
lessons
that
do
lye
Veil'd
up
in
their
mysterious
Poetry
:
and
with
these
the
Poets
,
Now
did
you
ever
hear
a
fiction
more
Poetical
,
a
lie
more
solemn
than
this
?
The
inverters
of
Morality
would
be
taken
for
true
masters
of
it
.
Et
simulant
Curios
cum
Bacchanalia
scribant
.
Such
a
lie
might
well
have
fitted
Pompey
;
when
in
his
Theater
,
which
he
had
erected
for
the
representing
of
the
most
Lascivious
Spectacles
;
because
he
would
not
suppresse
it
,
The
Table
of
Cebes
is
one
thing
;
to
trace
the
intricate
avenues
of
whose
Labyrinth
,
it
requires
the
Clew
of
an
Old
Interpreter
;
that
so
a
stranger
not
understanding
,
as
he
said
,
the
Aenigma'es
of
that
Sphinx
,
meet
not
with
death
where
he
expected
benefit
:
The
modern
Poems
another
,
which
stand
in
need
more
of
a
Sphinx
,
to
put
them
into
Aenigma
;
than
of
an
Oedipus
,
to
interpret
them
.
Yet
,
all
this
while
I
deny
not
,
but
that
some
Ancients
,
to
conceal
from
the
eyes
of
the
vulgar
the
miseries
of
their
Theology
:
hid
them
,
(
as
treasures
within
the
Sileny
,
)
under
the
Fables
,
which
they
received
for
Verities
.
Howbeit
,
as
there
remains
nothing
of
the
mysteries
of
the
Egyptian
Sages
,
but
only
their
Images
;
Bats
,
Apes
,
Owles
:
heretofore
learned
Hierogliphicks
,
now
unfortunate
Reliques
;
which
alone
are
taken
from
the
ancient
Pyramids
:
so
of
the
ancient
Theology
of
the
Gentiles
,
there
remains
no
more
to
the
memory
of
the
World
,
but
the
Adulteries
,
Thefts
,
Homicides
of
the
gods
:
Images
two
unworthy
of
any
subserviency
,
in
the
displaying
the
mysteries
of
Divinity
.
But
the
Poets
now a-dayes
have
no
occasion
for
,
or
thought
of
this
.
And
if
they
should
,
they
would
be
no
lesse
imprudent
than
impure
:
taking
away
directly
contrary
to
the
end
pretended
:
namely
,
reciting
,
to
infuse
good
manners
,
obscene
Fables
;
apter
far
to
extirpate
virtue
where
it
already
hath
been
implanted
:
which
would
be
(
as
saith
the
Theologist
Nazianzen
)
per
scopulos
ducere
a
dlittus
.
The
third
defence
is
that
they
say
,
they
intend
no
mans
hurt
:
in
their
writings
,
but
their
own
honour
.
Their
Books
bear
in
their
frontispieces
,
written
in
Capital
letters
,
Quam
sapiens
argumentatrix
sibi
videtur
ignorantia
humana
!
saith
Tertullian
,
upon
such
another
occasion
.
Did
you
ever
see
Sophismes
,
better
couch'd
in
Syllogismes
?
I
thought
at
first
,
that
I
my self
should
have
been
perswaded
by
them
:
For
,
(
seeing
that
that
which
is
not
directly
intended
,
cannot
render
another
culpable
:
)
the
sin
is
not
a
sin
;
we
not
intending
in
the
least
the
incommodity
of
the
crime
,
but
only
the
pleasure
,
or
commodity
of
the
action
.
These
are
Masters
of
their
profession
.
But
do
they
not
desire
that
,
which
they
say
they
desire
not
:
whilst
in
the
mean-time
craftily
they
attempt
all
the
means
,
by
which
it
is
atteinable
:
so
that
if
they
intend
not
otherwise
,
why
do
they
attempt
otherwise
?
Suppose
this
very
thing
were
the
Scope
of
some
Poets
:
to
excite
with
the
delectation
of
Fable
,
and
Verse
,
the
insentives
to
lust
:
could
they
do
it
more
handsomely
,
or
more
efficaicously
?
And
when
they
indited
were
they
either
so
stupid
,
or
so
blind
,
as
not
to
perceive
the
same
?
And
can
they
be
said
not
to
desire
that
,
which
in
so
forceable
manner
they
effectually
desire
?
Nor
may
that
be
applied
to
their
purpose
,
which
Tertullian
speaks
of
Women
Lasciviously
attired
:
Quid
alteri
periculo
sumus
?
Quid
alteri
concupiscentiam
importamus
?
Even
in
the
primitive
ages
of
the
Church
certain
Christians
,
which
before
their
Baptisme
were
by
profession
Carvers
:
desired
,
it
might
be
lawful
for
them
to
make
as
before
,
and
to
sell
Statu's
of
Jove
,
of
Mars
,
of
Venus
;
and
they
defended
the
fact
,
saying
:
That
they
intended
not
others
sin
,
but
their
own
profit
:
To
keep
themselves
alive
,
not
to
make
others
offend
.
That
their
Statues
were
worshipped
:
was
the
sin
of
the
Idolatry
,
not
the
fault
of
the
Sculpture
.
We
live
according
to
the
Laws
of
Christians
;
and
labour
according
to
the
Rules
of
Art
;
in
what
then
do
we
sin
?
Our
Poets
,
to
defend
themselves
in
a
common
cause
;
would
give
sentence
in
favour
of
these
.
But
these
,
and
those
,
are
condemned
,
and
that
justly
by
Tertullian
;
and
their
hands
convicted
of
being
Manus
Idolorum
matres
,
and
declared
to
be
Manus
praecidendas
.
He
makes
them
guilty
of
Sacrilege
;
Priests
of
Idolatry
;
nay
,
more
than
Priests
;
The
good
use
of
bad
Books
.
TO
reclaim
the
Spartans
from
Ebriety
Lucurgus
the
Law-giver
,
(
in
this
particular
without
Law
)
killed
,
and
extirpated
all
the
Vines
.
And
the
remedy
was
worse
than
the
malady
;
just
as
if
we
should
pull
out
our
eyes
,
to
avoid
the
sight
of
our
deformity
.
He
ought
rather
,
saith
Plutarch
,
to
have
carried
water
,
and
made
fountains
their
where
the
Vines
grew
;
and
to
have
corrected
Bacchus
with
the
Nymphs
;
a
mad
god
,
with
many
Sages
.
The
same
would
they
do
that
to
take
out
of
the
World
the
mischief
,
that
ill
Books
occasion
,
would
take
all
Books
out
of
the
VVorld
.
These
are
extream
Remedies
;
which
as
the
Father
of
Physicians
teacheth
,
would
not
be
used
,
but
in
the
cases
of
extremity
,
and
when
there
is
no
other
help
.
There
are
many
Books
,
in
which
as
in
the
head
of
the
Pulp-●ish
(
that
which
Plutarch
saith
of
Poetry
)
there
is
some-thing
good
,
Cato
Helluo
librorum
so
greedy
;
that
without
picking
,
they
swallow
the
good
and
the
bad
:
whereupon
afterwards
they
sustein
some
incommodity
.
I
give
you
leave
,
saith
Augustine
,
to
make
a
prey
or
booty
of
the
Books
of
evil
writers
;
He
that
hath
good
eyes
,
sees
exposed
in
the
Books
of
the
Ingenious
things
as
various
,
as
heretofore
were
shewn
by
the
Witty
Vlisses
,
when
in
the
disguize
of
a
Merchant
,
he
Displayed
a
thousand
VVomans
trifles
before
the
Virgins
of
Scyros
;
with
the
fortunate
invention
of
a
wise
Knight
,
to
the
end
he
might
discover
,
and
gain
to
the
VVars
Achilles
,
whom
his
timerous
mother
had
hid
among
those
Virgins
,
under
a
womans
habit
.
The
successe
was
,
that
whilst
some
of
them
run
to
the
Mirrours
,
others
to
the
Tablets
,
to
the
Bracelets
,
to
the
Rings
;
Achilles
,
remembering
himself
,
betook
him
to
a
Sword
,
which
was
put
amongst
those
Femenine
trinkets
,
for
the
same
purpose
,
and
with
that
discovered
,
and
as
overcome
by
Vlisses
,
he
yeilded
himself
,
and
agreed
to
be
his
Companion
in
the
Trojan
Expedition
.
In
the
same
manner
ought
we
in
reading
of
Books
,
to
deport
our selves
with
a
carriage
nobly
Masculine
,
that
disdaineth
and
avoideth
what
ever
savoureth
of
Femenine
;
and
bend
our
desire
,
and
put
our
hands
,
to
only
such
things
as
are
worthy
of
us
.
Even
in
this
did
Alexander
shew
himself
like
himself
,
that
is
,
Great
;
when
being
offered
the
Lute
of
Paris
,
to
which
he
had
so
often
sung
the
beauties
of
Helen
,
and
his
own
Loves
;
he
vouchsafed
it
not
so
much
as
a
look
:
but
in
its
stead
desired
that
which
Achilles
played
upon
in
the
Cave
of
old
Chyron
,
with
his
hands
still
reeking
in
the
blood
of
the
new-kild
Tygers
,
and
Lions
.
But
it
s
not
alone
sufficient
in
the
reading
of
dangerous
Books
to
have
a
good
end
,
if
we
have
not
also
a
good
Method
;
so
that
,
in
reading
them
we
be
so
circumspected
,
and
wary
,
as
if
we
were
to
go
Per
ignes
Suppositos
cineri
doloso
.
St.
Basil
ingeniously
evinceth
it
where
he
saith
,
That
we
must
never
give
our
minds
;
as
the
Helm
up
into
the
hand
of
the
Author
we
read
,
for
him
to
turn
us
at
his
will
,
and
steer
us
at
his
pleasure
:
Keep
a
loof
from
the
Cramp-fish
that
his
venemous
frigidity
seize
you
not
;
lest
if
otherwise
he
fasten
upon
you
,
and
render
you
stupid
and
insensible
;
he
make
you
his
prey
.
Herbs
(
pursues
Basil
)
as
sweet
as
they
be
,
if
they
be
mixt
with
Henbane
&
Hair
;
Flowers
as
fair
as
they
seem
,
if
they
conceal
under
them
Vipers
,
and
Aspes
;
would
be
gathered
with
a
hand
more
cautelous
,
than
curious
.
By
how
much
the
more
the
danger
is
concealed
by
so
much
the
more
is
it
to
be
feared
.
Laughter
in
the
mouth
,
and
flattery
in
the
face
,
are
the
semblances
that
maske
treasons
.
It
is
not
only
in
the
Ring
of
Demosthenes
,
of
Cleopatra
,
Per
insidias
iter
est
,
Here
the
advertancy
of
the
Dogs
of
Egypt
,
serveth
to
our
purpose
;
that
drink
the
waters
of
Nylus
running
,
nor
are
they
so
earnest
to
quench
according
to
custome
their
thirst
;
but
that
they
more
fear
to
satiate
the
hunger
of
the
Crocodiles
.
Here
also
let
me
insert
the
cautelousnesse
of
the
Eagle
,
which
when
it
chaseth
a
poysonous
Dragon
.
Occupat
adversum
,
ne
saeva
retorqueat
ora
.
All
this
,
when
the
Books
are
such
that
there
may
be
profit
extracted
from
them
,
by
those
that
read
them
;
and
profit
without
prejudice
by
those
that
deliberately
read
them
.
Otherwise
if
they
are
either
of
that
kind
,
of
which
may
be
averred
what
Tertullian
said
of
the
ancient
Spectacles
;
ex
arbore
pulchra
strangulari
.
VVith
such
Books
whence
nothing
may
be
extracted
but
poyson
,
and
pestiferous
documents
;
we
should
do
as
Crates
the
Theban
did
with
the
money
,
arising
upon
the
sail
of
his
goods
;
casting
it
into
the
Sea
,
and
therewith
saying
,
Ite
:
perdo
vos
,
ne
perdere
à
vobis
.
And
just
so
Origen
,
and
after
him
St.
Ambrose
called
the
mischievous
Doctrines
of
fertile
wits
in
the
language
of
David
,
Divitias
peccatorum
.
The
songs
of
the
Syrens
are
sweet
and
melodious
:
Nor
are
the
Remorra's
so
powerful
in
staying
the
Ships
when
they
grapple
them
with
their
teeth
,
as
they
in
enchanting
them
;
so
that
without
casting
Anchor
,
or
striking
sail
,
as
if
they
were
run
a-ground
,
they
remain
immoveable
.
Delatis
licet
huc
incumberet
aura
carinis
Implessentque
sinum
ventide
puppe
ferentes
,
But
what
ensues
?
after
the
song
comes
sleep
;
and
after
the
sleep
death
.
Thus
they
only
enjoyed
so
much
,
as
was
requisite
for
sleep
,
so
much
they
slept
as
was
sufficient
to
die
.
Nec
dolor
ullus
erat
,
mortem
dabat
ipsa
voluptas
.
There
is
no
better
escape
from
these
perils
,
than
by
the
stopping
our
eares
to
their
chantings
,
and
enchantings
;
using
for
that
purpose
the
famous
wax
of
Vlisses
.
Nescire

Who
will
drink
Cyrces
poyson
,
for
the
Cups
being
of

Who
out
of
the
greatnesse
of
their
curiosity
,
would
behold
in
the
Shield
of
Pallas
,
the
head
of
Medusa
,
if
the
sight
of
it
cost
them
a
metamorphosis
into
stone
;
which
to
become

Satis

He
that
travails
in
dust
,
or

,
howbeit
he
treads
lightly
,
alwayes
reteines
some
filthinesse
on
his
feet
:
and
even
the
Stars
,
saith
Pliny
,
which
,
(
notwithstanding
that
they
are
Stars
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
pure
substance
of

)
in
regard
they
are
nourished
with
Terrene
humours
;
sordid
Aliment
,
which
they
exhale
from
here
below

they
become
spotted

and
deformed
:
Thus
(
though
without
any
reason
for
it
)
doth
Pliny
hold
.
Is
there
any
want
of
Books
,
of
lesse
danger
,
and
equal
delight
and
utility
to
one
of
a
sound
Palate●
VVho
would
sound
the
Flute
,
said
Alcibiades
;
should
they
see
the
wry
mouthes
,
and
the
bladder-cheeks
that
they
deformedly
make
;
when
they
may
have
the
Lute
,
and
the
Gittern
,
which
afford
more
delight
,
without
causing
any
deformity
?
And
with
that
he
threw
them
away
:
nor
was
there
any
in
Athens
that
would
from
thence-forth
use
them
.
Books
which
make
you
Monsters
;
and
transform
the
beauty
of
Gods
Image
,
imprinted
in
your
Soules
;
into
a
Beastly
and
Brutish
deformity
:
to
what
end
are
they
read
?
if
there
be
so
many
others
of
equal
pleasure
,
and
of
greater
profit
?
Drink
not
therefore
the
dregs
of
impurest
Authors
,
as
Galato
with
an
ingenious
invention
,
depainted
many
Poets
,
the
imitators
,
or
thieves
of
Homer
;
that
with
open
mouth
received
that
which
he
vomited

if
els-where
there
is
Nectar

so
much
more
sweet

By

A

HEar
me
,
ô
ye
Lucifers
of
the
Earth
:
Did
God
endue
you
with
a
wit
full
of
lofty
conceits
,
and
an
acute
fancy
;
to
the
end
you
should
turn
the
point
of
it
ingratefully
against
himself
?
Did
he
instruct
you
to
manage
the
Pen
with
applause
,
to
the
end
you
make
thereof
a
Dart
to
transfix
him
in
his
honour
?
Did
God
bestow
upon
you
Angelical
minds
,
to
have
you
prove
enemies
like
the
Devils
?
Tell
me
not
,
The
vain
of
our
genius
is
good
o●ly
at
these
Theams
.
I
will
say
to
you
that
which
Tertullion
said
of
the
Israelites
,
Malu●stis
alium
,
&
saepe
,
quàm
coelum
fragrare
.
The
clarity
of
your
wits
,
which
might
shine
as
benevolent
Stars
:
you
have
made
lights
of
rotten
wood
:
compounded
of
putrefaction
and
corruption
.
Grant
it
to
be
true
,
that
you
are
good
for
nothing
but
Poetry
.
Yet
,
to
write
Lascivious
Poetry
,
was
it
the
necessity
of
the
Wit
,
or
the
vice
of
the
Will
?
But
,
if
still
you
are
enamoured
upon
a
Strumpet
Muse
;
and
tainted
with
that
which
you
call
a
Genius
,
or
humour
of
unchast
versifying
;
I
shall
say
of
you
,
and
that
with
more
reason
,
what
Lactantius
said
of
Leucyppus
the
Phylosopher
the
first
inventor
of
Atomes
,
and
defender
of
Chance
,
Malo
Uxorem
sterilem
quàm
Vinosam
.
O
how
much
better
would
this
other
saying
sound
in
your
mouth
,
And
what
gain
you
,
when
you
spend
your
Wits
,
&
consume
your
age
and
life
to
publish
a
work
to
the
World
;
(
which
suppose
it
should
be
granted
Immortal
)
if
for
the
same
you
shall
be
applauded
on
Earth
;
and
tormented
under
the
Earth
;
praised
where
you
are
not
,
and
tormented
where
you
shall
eternally
be
?
The
Horace's
,
the
Catulluss's
,
the
Ovids
,
the
Gallio's
,
the
Martiall
's
;
(
to
omit
those
of
our
own
,
of
a
holier
Religion
,
but
of
a
prophaner
Poetry
;
)
what
availes
it
thē
that
they
remain
yet
to
the
light
of
publick
Fame
;
if
in
the
mean-time
they
remain
buried
in
the
darknesse
of
Hell
:
&
for
every
particle
of
that
obscenity
which
they
writ
,
they
are
tormented
there
below
;
whilest
here
,
without
there
knowledge
,
they
are
for
the
same
unprofitably
applauded
?
Suppose
that
after
many
years
study
,
your
Pen
should
send
forth
a
VVork
of
immortal
merit
;
(
in
which
notwithstanding
Pauci
quos
aequus
amavit
Jupiter
)
of
that
glory
,
which
is
the
proper
and
legitimate
reward
of
the
labours
of
Heroick
VVits
,
you
must
promise
to
your selves
no
other
share
,
than
the
least
;
I
mean
that
of
the
vulgar
,
or
of
the
vicious
:
in
as
much
as
men
of
wisdome
and
judegment
(
to
whose
eares
Soloecismus
magnus
,
But
if
nothing
else
will
perswade
you
:
behold
God
descending
to
the
uncleanness
of
a
Stable
;
to
the
miseries
of
poverty
;
to
the
inconveniences
of
obscurity
;
to
the
scorns
of
mockers
;
to
the
calumny
of
detractors
;
to
the
sale
of
a
slave
;
to
the
condemnation
of
a
Criminal
;
to
the
death
of
a
Thief
!
All
blisters
under
the
scourges
;
all
blood
,
amidst
the
thorns
;
all
confusion
,
in
his
nakednesse
;
all
anguish
,
on
the
Crosse
!
Now
set
him
before
you
;
and
ask
him
,
for
whom
he
took
so
long
a
voyage
,
and
at
so
long
stages
,
as
from
Heaven
to
Calvary
?
For
whom
he
dispended
so
many
teares
,
so
much
sweat
,
and
blood
?
Had
this
noble
Merchant
in
all
this
a
design
of
other
gain
than
of
Soules
?
Pretendeth
he
any
other
from
us
;
requested
he
any
other
of
his
Father
;
than
to
have
us
for
his
imitators
in
life
,
and
companions
in
glory
;
Now
put
your selves
in
competition
with
God
;
and
behold
the
disproportionate
unworthinesse
of
this
comparison
.
He
to
save
Soules
,
did
what
he
could
;
you
what
you
know
,
to
damn
them
.
What
prognostications
make
you
of
your selves
?
What
faces
will
you
have
to
appear
before
your
Judg
as
guilty
;
whilest
that
as
many
as
have
been
lost
by
your
means
;
and
in
the
Volumes
of
ages
to
come
,
shall
be
shewn
,
after
these
,
to
have
perished
through
your
occasion
;
shall
exalt
their
horrid
yellings
,
from
the
deepest
pit
of
Hell
,
against
you
?
What
defence
will
you
have
for
your selves
,
being
to
answer
for
the
crimes
of
others
?
howbeit
they
are
not
so
much
others
as
your
own
;
since
you
laid
the
stumbling-blocks
to
those
fals
,
you
sowed
the
seed
to
those
fruits
of
Death
.
There
is
not
that
man
living
on
the
earth
,
that
Lucifer
beholds
with
a
better
eye
,
and
observes
,
and
preserves
,
with
greater
care
;
than
he
that
busieth
himself
in
infusing
from
his
brain
,
into
the
golden
Cup
of
an
Ingenious
Book
,
the
pest
of
error
,
or
poyson
of
impure
Poetry
.
One
of
these
alone
sufficeth
to
ease
half
the
Devils
of
the
trouble
of
tempting
:
for
a
mischievous
Book
,
contervailes
a
hundred
Devils
.
Tymon
the
Athenian
hated
all
men
,
he
loved
one
onely
Alcibiades
;
but
to
love
him
was
to
hate
all
:
because
he
fore-saw
by
his
inclinations
,
that
he
would
be
the
ruin
of
many
,
and
should
become
a
disturber
of
all
Greece
.
And
those
true
Misanthropii
,
there
below
;
if
there
be
any
men
that
they
hug
as
friends
,
and
imbrace
as
dear
unto
them
;
they
are
those
,
that
with
Books
of
immortal
duration
,
and
mortal
operation
,
are
to
fight
for
many
ages
against
I
leaven
;
to
expugne
honesty
in
many
brests
,
and
to
enrich
their
kingdom
with
many
Souls
.
These
Truths
discerned
with
the
lights
of
reason
,
and
faith
by
a
famous
Poet
;
(
as
I
hear
from
a
person
of
his
familiar
acquaintance
)
they
made
him
often-times
startle
for
horrour
,
and
almost
swound
for
grief
;
and
so
far
transported
him
,
that
he
took
up
the
Book
which
he
himself
had
composed
to
behold
it
Tanquam
Orbis
Terrarum
Pha●tontem
(
as
Tyberius
called
Caligula
)
whence
as
having
merited
a
flash
of
lightning
,
God
keep
you
,
that
you
may
never
be
the
Father
of
such
a
like
Book
.
Albeit
you
discern
its
malevolent
inclination
,
and
infamous
dispositions
;
yet
to
strangle
it
with
your
own
hand
,
to
tear
it
in
pieces
,
to
consume
it
in
the
flames
;
will
be
an
enterprize
of
that
difficulty
,
as
if
you
were
with
your
own
hand
to
slay
a
Son
,
and
to
rip
his
Soul
out
of
his
heart
with
your
own
knife
:
and
the
same
said
Origens
Master
in
Stromati
:
Libri
sunt
filii
animorum
.
The
knowledg
,
and
fore-sight
,
that
the
publishing
it
it
print
,
would
be
to
the
prejudice
of
many
,
and
perdition
of
your selves
;
as
a
Man
,
as
a
Christian
will
sometimes
infuse
horrour
into
the
mind
,
and
chilnesse
into
the
heart
;
and
you
will
repent
to
have
done
that
,
which
cost
you
so
many
sighs
,
so
many
toils
.
But
in
Conclusion
,
this
shall
convert
to
that
Remorse
of
Caesars
conscience
upon
the
Banks
of
Rubicon
.
You
will
strive
to
overcome
God
,
and
your selves
;
and
slightly
over-passing
the
inconveniences
of
others
,
or
your selves
;
you
will
proceed
with
a
resolute
Jacta
est
alea.
For
my
part
,
if
two
spectacles
should
offer
themselves
to
my
view
;
on
the
one
hand
aged
Abraham
,
binding
his
only
Isaack
as
a
victime
upon
the
Altar
,
with
a
hand
as
stedfast
,
as
his
heart
was
intrepidable
;
and
the
fire
put
to
the
wood
of
the
Sacrifice
,
and
the
hand
up
to
fetch
the
blow
upō
the
throat
of
the
innocent
Son
;
without
either
by
the
shivering
of
the
arm
,
or
altering
of
his
countenance
,
or
bedewing
of
his
eyes
,
giving
the
least
symptomes
of
a
discomposed
mind
;
applying
himself
with
such
intensenesse
to
his
Priestly
Office
,
as
if
he
had
forgot
his
paternal
relation
;
or
else
if
he
had
the
affectionate
resentments
of
a
Father
;
it
was
with
more
emulation
,
than
compassion
of
his
Son
that
he
slue
;
although
in
him
he
was
both
Victime
and
Priest
;
(
for
he
slue
himself
no
lesse
than
him
,
in
whom
more
than
himself
he
lived
:
)
And
on
the
other
hand
an
excellent
Authour
of
a
pestilent
Book
,
over-comming
the
contrasts
of
his
thoughts
,
of
his
friends
,
and
of
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
;
sacrificing
it
generously
to
the
flames
,
with
that
self-same
hand
that
had
syllable
by
syllable
written
,
and
weighed
it
:
cutting
off
at
one
blow
,
the
labours
of
the
years
past
,
&
the
glory
of
the
ages
to
come
;
and
slaying
himself
in
his
issue
:
losing
with
a
voluntary
refusal
,
that
life
,
which
only
makes
us
survive
death
;
I
mean
,
the
Fame
of
succeeding
Generations
.
Of
these
two
spectacles
I
know
not
which
I
should
more
willingly
behold
,
and
perhaps
it
would
appear
unto
me
a
lighter
matter
,
at
the
express
command
of
God
;
Father
of
the
unborn
,
and
life
of
the
Dead
,
to
slay
a
Son
that
was
begotten
with
delight
,
and
may
be
raised
again
by
miracle
:
then
at
the
voice
,
of
the
un-audable
Speech
,
in
which
God
speaks
to
the
heart
;
to
burn
a
Book
,
that
in
conceiving
it
,
in
bringing
it
forth
,
in
bringing
it
up
;
cost
more
pains
,
than
it
hath
syllables
.
What
though
the
love
of
Glory
;
and
the
hopes
of
obteining
a
Name
of
an
invincible
Soul
,
moved
Brutus
to
condemn
his
own
Sons
to
death
;
being
rebels
to
their
Country
,
and
enemies
to
the
publick
good
?
He
condemned
them
as
a
Consul
,
not
to
deliver
them
as
a
Father
,
Et
exuit
Patrem
ut
Consulem
ageret
.
Vicit
amor
Patriae
laudumque
immensa
Cupido
.
Is
the
avidity
of
glory
,
able
to
make
Fathers
Executioners
?
Where
then
in
one
is
lost
both
the
Son
,
&
the
Glory
which
from
him
was
expected
;
how
much
more
heroical
an
act
is
it
to
kill
him
:
since
the
power
of
doing
it
,
was
taken
from
nothing
,
but
from
the
love
of
Virtue
?
But
the
hope
of
ever
seeing
so
happy
a
Spectacle
,
is
a
vanity
.
Yet
I
would
perswade
these
,
that
the
excrements
,
(
such
especially
as
favour
wholly
of
brutal
)
may
be
pared
off
,
that
the
Book
may
remain
,
if
not
good
,
yet
at
least
,
not
exceeding
bad
.
But
also
for
this
they
are
perfect
at
that
answer
,
heretofore
given
to
the
Senate
of
Rome
,
when
they
were
consulting
of
lesning
the
Tyber
,
by
branching
it
,
and
diverting
the
Rivers
that
emptied
themselves
into
it
,
thereby
to
secure
the
City
from
the
frequent
In-undations
,
that
submerged
it
,
DETRACTION
.
The
inclination
of
the
Genius
,
and
abusive
imployment
of
the
Wit
to
the
defaming
of
others
.
WHo
would
ever
imagine
that
Detraction
should
be
so
sweet
,
that
he
that
had
once
tasted
it
should
ever
after
desire
it
;
&
as
the
Lions
,
which
if
they
have
once
licked
the
blood
from
their
pawes
,
are
alwayes
after
that
greedy
for
it
;
so
likewise
he
that
tasteth
the
first
rellish
of
slander
,
hath
ordinarily
so
longing
a
desire
after
it
,
that
they
become
like
those
that
had
rather
be
without
a
tongue
,
than
without
their
Jests
;
and
cease
to
live
sooner
than
to
leave
jeering
.
Old
age
,
(
when
they
arrive
at
it
)
though
it
oft-times
bereaves
the
head
of
wisdom
,
yet
it
deprives
not
the
bitter
tongue
of
it
stings
▪
like
as
the
old
thorns
,
which
Winter
makes
to
lose
their
leaves
not
their
pricks
;
their
ornament
,
but
not
their
sharpnesse
.
These
,
for
the
most
part
,
acute
of
wit
,
but
only
to
sting
;
never
speak
better
than
when
they
spake
worst
;
never
shine
more
than
when
most
they
burn
.
All
the
proofs
of
their
Wits
are
jeers
,
and
pungent
jests
:
&
to
become
the
smarter
in
biting
,
they
tēter
their
wits
,
more
than
that
famous
Oratour
strove
in
despight
of
his
lisping
tongue
to
pronounce
and
expresse
the
canicular
and
snarling
letter
R.
To
hear
them
,
how
a
Menippus
,
a
Zoilus
,
a
Momns
will
play
upon
one
another
,
(
so
ingeniously
they
do
it
)
it
is
as
if
you
heard
a
Musick
,
but
such
Musick
as
that
,
which
Pythagoras
observed
to
be
made
,
by
the
blows
,
and
percussions
of
great
Hammers
.
Their
Pens
,
There
is
transfused
into
their
heads
the
Genius
of
Lucilius
,
qui
primus
condidit
styli
nasum
.
These
detracting
Buffoons
,
unworthy
of
living
amongst
Men
,
as
partaking
of
Beasts
;
(
as
was
said
of
Cicero
)
to
gain
the
applause
of
a
jest
,
care
not
to
lose
the
favour
of
a
friend
.
Dummodo
risum

Whereupon
they
may
well
be
called
with
the
Comick
Vulturii
;
since
that
Hostesne
an
Cives
comedant
parvipendunt
.
To
expresse
one
of
their
conceits
,
they
care
not
though
they
torment
that
innocent
party
upon
which
it
lights
.
They
onely
use
their
eyes
to
strike
their
blows
home
;
nor
do
they
care
,
when
it
sometimes
falls
out
that
they
speed
as
the
Eagle
;
that
let
a
Tortoise
fall
upon
the
bald
head
of
a
Poet
,
to
break
the
shell
.
Thus
they
take
pleasure
,
in
others
sufferings
;
and
honour
,
from
others
disgrace
:
imitating
(
if
he
did
such
a
thing
)
Buonaroti
,
that
crucified
a
man
,
thereby
to
depaint
to
the
life
a
Crucified
Christ
.
Or
rather
Nero
,
that
set
fire
on
Rome
,
to
chaunt
upon
the
Tower
of
Mecaenas
,
to
the
sound
of
his
Gittern
,
in
the
real
wrack
of
his
Country
,
the
feigned
conflagration
of
Troy
.
Ah
las
!
too
barbarous
is
that
desire
of
theirs
,
to
appear
at
others
cost
,
quick-wits
;
of
an
acute
and
nimble
brain
.
It
s
the
cruel
custom
of
the
people
of
Jappoan
,
to
prove
the
temper
of
their
Scymitars
,
&
the
strength
of
their
armes
,
upon
the
Carcasses
of
the
condemned
.
How
much
worse
is
it
under
pretence
of
a
sportive
skirmish
,
to
thrust
in
ones
breast
a
Daggar
,
no
lesse
mortal
to
the
reputation
of
him
that
receives
it
,
than
the
wound
of
a
Sword
would
be
to
his
life
;
which
,
as
saith
Vegetius
,
Duas
uncias
adactae
mortales
sunt
.
Yet
you
must
know
,
that
the
Satyres
,
Be
these
the
sublime
uses
,
the
divine
imployments
,
for
which
Wit
was
given
you
?
To
make
it
of
a
King
that
it
is
a
Tyrant
;
and
of
a
Conservator
of
Civil
life
,
a
Homicide
,
and
Hangman
?
You
appropriate
that
to
your selves
,
which
an
Ancient
writ
against
the
cruel
Perillus
;
justly
complaining
,
that
he
had
debased
the
innocent
Art
of
forming
in
brasse
the
Images
of
gods
,
and
Hero●s
;
unto
the
making
of
a
Murthering
Bull
,
to
be
the
Executor
,
or
Instrument
of
the
mercilesse
sentences
of
Phalaris
.
In
hoc
a
simulachris
Deorum
,
The
ordinary
punishment
of
these
is
to
be
beloved
by
none
,
shunned
by
many
,
hated
by
all
:
To
bring
upon
themselves
the
infamous
title
of
a
Satyrist
,
a
Detractor
,
a
Buffoon
;
who
might
bear
in
their
fore-heads
that
ancient
Distich
,
extracted
from
a
Greek
Epigram
,
Si
meus
ad
Solem
statuatur
Nasus
,
hianti
Ores
,
ben●

Diogenes
,
the
Band-dog
of
Cynick
Phylosophers
;
had
his
palace
,
rather
kennel
,
in
a
Tub.
This
was
the
Heaven
,
which
he
revolved
:
An
Intelligence
really
worthy
of
such
a
Sphere
:
This
the
Cave
from
which
he
delivered
his
Oracles
,
that
smelt
more
of
Wine
than
Truth
:
This
the
Chair
,
where
teaching
,
he
undertook
to
correct
others
uncomely
customes
,
with
a
miracle
(
if
he
had
succeeded
so
,
)
that
a
Butt
should
reduce
others
to
themselves
,
that
is
wont
to
make
them
run
besides
themselves
.
Whatsoever
was
the
doctrine
that
he
taught
(
which
yet
was
such
,
that
Plato
called
him
,
And
who
is
there
that
will
hug
a
Porcupine
,
since
he
cannot
touch
it
so
warily
,
but
that
it
will
prick
him
?
who
would
keep
company
with
one
,
to
whom
as
to
the
Scorpion
,
Semper
cauda
inictu
est
?
But
it
would
be
so
slight
a
punishment
for
Detractors
,
to
be
onely
shunned
and
avoided
;
if
also
they
were
not
persecuted
.
For
although
sometimes
they
are
subtle
in
the
interests
of
their
lives
,
as
to
know
how
much
it
behoves
them
not
to
irritate
those
,
that
can
answer
to
the
Pen
with
the
Sword
;
and
to
words
,
with
deeds
:
but
that
in
the
affairs
of
such
they
ought
to
be
dumbe
,
if
not
blind
;
taking
thereof
an
example
,
from
certain
Northern
Cranes
,
that
being
to
passe
Mount
Taurus
take
a
stone
in
their
mouthes
,
to
the
end
they
may
not
with
their
chattering
wake
the
Eagles
there
nested
:
yet
it
s
seldom
seen
,
that
they
are
so
cunning
;
but
that
one
time
or
other
,
they
do
that
unawares
;
which
they
continually
do
,
either
out
of
a
habit
,
or
nature
:
whereby
either
they
make
to
themselves●
,
as
the
Silk-worms
,
a
prison
with
their
own
mouthes
;
or
provoke
them
in
whose
power
it
is
to
crush
the
Scorpion
,
upon
the
sore
it
made
:
bringing
to
mind
by
their
example
the
truth
of
that
,
which
Pollio
said
of
Augustus
▪
That
we
ought
not
Scribere
in
eum
,
They
will
not
alwayes
meet
with
such
as
will
give
them
money
to
hold
their
peace
;
nor
such
as
(
following
the
advice
of
Alphonsus
King
of
Aragon
)
will
throw
to
the
Cur
medicatis
frugibus
offam
,
to
keep
him
from
barking
,
or
at
least
from
biting
.
It
was
the
singular
fortune
of
that
Advocate
in
Martial
:
Quòd
clamas
semper
,
Many
times
accipiunt
,
ut
taceant
:
but
they
receive
something
,
but
what
I
know
not
,
upon
which
they
cease
to
snarle
,
so
that
they
are
never
heard
to
speake
more
:
which
was
the
reward
of
that
notorious
Zoilus
;
who
whether
he
were
burnt
alive
,
or
stoned
;
or
crucified
,
He
that
hath
erred
in
Writing
,
should
not
refute
his
confutation
:
And
he
that
is
ignorant
himself
,
should
not
undertake
to
correct
,
or
condemn
others
.
THere
is
not
a
man
upon
Earth
of
so
clear
and
Chrystaline
a
Wit
,
that
in
receiving
the
light
of
Sapience
,
doth
not
cast
some
shadow
;
some
more
,
some
lesse
opacious
,
and
muddy
with
Ignorance
.
Our
souls
,
said
a
VVise
Ancient
,
(
fires
of
themselves
all
light
,
and
clarity
,
)
being
that
they
are
conjoyned
to
this
grosse
matter
of
our
bodies
,
which
they
enliven
;
besides
the
sloth
that
attends
them
,
are
also
obfuscated
with
foggy
vapours
;
whereupon
,
like
flame
confused
and
intermingled
with
smoak
,
they
lose
in
great
measure
the
vivacity
of
their
motion
,
and
the
clarity
of
their
light
.
And
from
hence
is
the
difficulty
in
seeking
,
and
incertainty
of
discerning
the
Truth
.
Therefore
hanc
veniam
petimusque
damusque
vicissim
,
of
sometimes
not
hitting
the
Center
,
without
being
therefore
expulsed
the
Circle
of
the
Learned
;
like
as
the
Moon
,
although
that
it
be
sometimes
Eclipsed
,
and
darkened
,
yet
she
is
not
for
this
banished
from
Heaven
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
they
are
not
to
be
tolerated
,
that
either
vend
their
own
writings
,
or
defend
others
as
Oracles
of
infallible
Truth
;
as
Gold
of
the
twenty-fourth
Caract
without
mixture
of
errour
,
without
alloy
of
falcity
.
As
for
their
own
,
let
them
hear
St.
Ambrose
,
that
very
aptly
resembles
them
to
Children
,
to
which
the
love
that
is
born
,
blinds
the
judgment
;
whereupon
the
better
Fathers
they
are
to
them
,
the
worse
Judges
they
use
to
be
of
them
;
On
this
ground
,
the
more
Wise
are
perswaded
before
the
publishing
their
writings
,
to
bring
them
to
the
rest
,
and
censure
of
a
friend
,
equally
judicious
,
and
faithful
;
that
where
they
find
them
defective
,
they
may
say
to
them
,
as
the
Ancient
Fencers
to
their
scholars
,
Repete
,
but
if
only
after
their
coming
to
publick
light
,
they
be
seen
deficient
;
they
themselves
may
correct
them
;
retacting
them
as
Painters
,
which
boast
not
their
labours
for
works
exactly
perfect
according
to
the
rigour
of
Art
,
but
write
underneath
the
Faciebat
of
Polycletus
and
Apelles
.
But
for
as
much
as
either
the
Writer
(
unlesse
too
late
)
perceives
not
his
errours
,
of
which
unwittingly
he
makes
himself
Master
,
printing
them
;
or
is
prevented
by
others
in
opportunely
prescribing
them
an
Antidote
,
and
giving
them
a
reproof
;
when
that
evenes
,
he
that
is
a
prudent
Judg
,
and
rational
friend
,
should
not
write
to
disgrace
,
injure
,
or
irritate
him
:
for
that
is
not
his
desire
,
that
as
the
Ancient
Romans
whilst
they
were
wholly
ignorant
of
the
Mathemathicks
,
regulated
their
publick
actions
by
an
irregular
and
lying
Dial
;
Nimis
enim
pervers●
seipsum
amat
,
said
the
Great
Augustine
,
Yea
,
to
be
assisted
in
un-deceiving
himself
,
and
which
is
more
,
the
World
;
ought
to
be
so
much
the
dearer
to
every
one
,
by
how
much
all
are
oblieged
to
love
the
Truth
.
And
hear
in
a
few
of
his
own
words
,
the
sense
that
the
same
Augustine
had
of
this
;
A
man
,
I
know
not
whether
of
greater
ingenuity
,
or
modesty
:
Non
pigebit
mesic
ubi
haesito
quaerere
,
And
this
,
of
which
I
have
hitherto
writ
,
is
the
part
of
the
modesty
of
him
that
writes
:
Nor
should
it
be
lesse
that
,
of
him
that
readeth
.
Not
betaking
themselves
to
a
profession
of
running
only
to
errors
of
Writers
to
condemn
them
;
as
Vultures
to
putrid
Carcasses
,
or
Ravens
to
Carrion
to
devour
them
;
doing
it
moreover
with
as
much
liberty
,
as
if
there
were
no
possibility
of
their
erring
,
in
noting
the
errors
of
others
:
and
yet
the
Aphorisme
of
Ambrose
is
most
true
,
This
is
the
discourteous
manner
of
many
,
Ferulasque
tristes
sceptra
Paedagogorum
.
they
hold
a
Censorious
brow
still
advanced
over
the
Authours
they
read
,
to
lash
them
;
they
delighting
no
lesse
thus
to
use
the
rod
,
than
others
to
graspe
the
Scepter
.
Thence
are
born
the
so
many
Contests
,
Apologies
,
not
to
say
the
Duels
,
and
Tragoedies
of
a
thousand
Authours
,
though
of
no
ordinary
judgment
;
which
in
this
kind
of
impertinency
,
have
thrown
away
much
time
,
and
much
sweat
,
but
to
what
purpose
?
Bella
geri
placuit
nullos
habitura
triumphos
.
This
seems
to
me
a
matter
,
not
to
be
wholly
past
over
with
a
coniving
eye
:
Take
therefore
about
it
some
few
advertisements
.
First
;
That
a
man
that
hath
no
more
but
a
belly
and
a
tongue
,
Johan
.
Ludovicus
,
should
pretend
to
draw
the
most
Learned
Augustine
out
of
ignorance
:
and
presume
(
Sus
Minervam
)
to
teach
the
true
form
of
Logick
to
that
Great
Augustine
all
Soul
;
to
that
Ingenious
Archimedes
,
which
against
the
enemies
of
Truth
and
Faith
,
knew
how
to
make
as
many
thunder-bolts
,
as
he
made
arguments
:
deducing
his
propositions
from
most
manifest
principles
,
as
rayes
from
the
Sun
:
and
directing
them
in
a
Logical
form
,
to
the
mark
of
infallible
consequences
:
Is
not
this
the
same
as
to
see
Mures
de
cavernis
exeuntes
;
tilt
with
a
straw
at
the
brest
of
a
Lion
?
To
see
water-Frogs
not
only
to
muddy
the
water
for
Diana
,
but
to
desire
to
ingrosse
it
solely
and
wholly
to
themselves
?
To
see
Beasts
with
the
horrid
yelling
of
their
discordant
throats
,
to
affright
and
put
to
flight
the
Giants
?
In
beholding
these
,
and
others
of
the
like
stamp
expound
,
blot
out
and
correct
the
writings
of
Learned
Men
;
it
brings
to
mind
,
and
sets
before
my
eyes
that
indiscreet
Asse
,
which
with
teeth
accustomed
to
Roots
▪
Shrubs
,
and
pungent
tops
of
Thistles
;
durst
attempt
to
tear
and
devour
all
the
Illiades
of
the
Poet
Homer
:
to
the
greater
disgrace
and
disaster
of
Troy
(
as
a
Poet
speaks
)
in
as
much
as
heretofore
a
Horse
more
honourably
,
now
an
Asse
more
sordidly
destroyed
it
.
The
Grecian
Aristides
died
,
a
man
of
Martial
valour
,
proved
at
more
than
one
encounter
;
&
died
of
poison
taken
from
the
wound
of
a
certain
little
Animal
,
that
had
stung
him
.
Death
grieved
not
the
Valiant
Man
,
but
dying
so
dishonourably
:
namely
,
not
torn
by
a
Lion
▪
not
bruised
by
an
Elephant
;
not
dismembered
by
a
Tyger
;
but
stung
by
an
unlucky
Fly
.
The
like
,
in
my
judgment
,
may
be
the
resentment
of
those
great
Masters
of
the
World
,
seeing
themselves
stung
,
reprehend●d
,
condemned
;
not
by
man
excellent
for
Wit
and
Learning
,
but
by
a
Cook
,
by
a
Woman
,
by
a
Pedant
.
For
i●
the
Stars
(
saith
Cassiodorus
)
seeing
upon
a
Dial
,
the
immense
periods
of
their
light
imitated
,
and
as
it
were
mocked
,
by
the
little
motion
of
a
shadow
;
would
be
offended
,
and
in
disdain
confound
Heaven
,
and
the
World
:
and
would
commence
other
motions
,
other
revolutions
,
Secondly
,
it
happens
many
times
,
that
that
is
our
Ignorance
,
which
we
may
think
anothers
errour
:
and
we
may
peradventure
say
to
our selves
,
that
,
which
many
grave
and
holy
Bishop
said
to
the
Apostate
Emperour
●ulian
;
who
read
,
and
contemned
a
most
learned
Apology
of
St.
The
Ancient
Romans
,
in
the
exercise
of
Arms
,
wherein
they
held
the
Souldiery
continually
trained
;
gave
for
the
first
rule
of
well
bestowing
their
blows
,
Not
to
lay
themselves
open
to
their
Enemies
weapons
:
so
that
he
warding
the
blow
,
in
the
same
act
,
wound
them
in
deficient
part
of
their
arms
,
before
they
could
recover
their
Swords
from
the
thrust
and
return
(
without
losse
of
much
time
)
to
their
gu●rd
.
We
need
not
betake
our selves
to
bite
others
,
till
our
Wise-teeth
be
grown
:
which
(
as
Aristotle
adviseth
)
shoot
late
.
It
is
requisite
to
be
doubly
furnished
,
with
Learning
,
and
with
Wit
,
being
to
correct
him
that
erreth
;
that
so
both
the
errour
be
certain
,
and
the
correction
inculpable
.
And
how
many
times
doth
it
happen
,
that
through
the
insufficiently
understanding
the
true
sense
of
the
Writer
,
we
commit
the
crime
of
Mutius
Scaevola
,
that
thinking
to
kill
the
King
,
slue
the
Servant
?
We
arraign
that
as
said
by
another
,
which
he
neither
said
,
nor
dreamt
;
and
desperately
engage
in
a
Combate
with
phantasmes
:
when
as
,
if
not
having
eyes
of
our
own
sufficiently
able
to
discern
,
we
had
used
those
of
a
perceptive
friend
;
we
should
have
put
up
our
weapons
,
(
as
the
Sybil
made
Aeneas
,
)
that
we
might
not
fruitlesly
grapple
with
shadows
with
great
pains
to
our selves
,
and
no
hurt
to
them
.
Thirdly
,
It
s
not
the
custome
of
these
depraving
Calumniators
to
irritate
any
,
whilst
hey

sorely
to
his

stung

provoked

St.

;
and
chose
rather
to
be

than

:
But
afterwards
proving
how
dexterous
a
hand
he
had
to
strike
,
and
heavy
to
wound
,
he
would
have
withdrawn
himself
from
the
fray
,
crying
;
That
he
had
sufficient
punishment
in
himself
without
his
blows
:
That
Love
of
Truth
,
not
passion
had
guided
his
hand
whilest
he
writ
:
That
it
was
not
handsom
betwixt
Christians
,
between
Monks
;
to
take
up
the
Pen
,
and
to
use
it
as
a
Sword
to
hurt
one
another
.
To
whom
St.

,

said
he

Cautions
about
the
nice
mystery
of
opposing
others
,
and
defending
our selves
.
IT
sufficeth
not
by
way
of
advice
to
such
as
know
little
and
presume
much
to
have
hitherto
said
,
that
a
SHOOMAKER
who
is
in
his
Craft
raiseth
not
himself
ultra
crepidam
;
ought
not
to
climbe
to
the
face
&
censure
a
countenance
designed
and
painted
by
Apelles
;
whose
Art
,
as
he
hath
not
EYES
Learned
enough
to
understand
it
,
so
ought
he
not
much
lesse
have
a
tongue
so
bold
as
to
condemn
it
:
But
it
rests
also
to
speak
of
that
which
is
required
in
contrasts
between
the
Intelligent
;
that
so
they
may
attein
to
the
level
of
reason
,
and
agree
with
the
Standard
of
Equity
;
And
they
are
either
arreignments
of
others
writings
;
or
defences
of
our
own
.
And
to
the
writing
against
others
:
As
the
Love
of
Truth
,
ought
to
be
that
alone
,
which
puts
the
Pen
into
the
hand
,
and
in
a
certain
sense
dubs
the
VVriter
her
Knight
;
so
Modesty
ought
to
be
the
Mistresse
that
teacheth
the
Art
of
managing
it
:
using
it
not
as
the
Lance
of
a
Souldier
;
but
of
a
Chyrurgion
;
against
Errour
to
amend
;
not
against
the
Author
,
to
offend
him
:
Therein
evincing
himself
a
good
Scholar
of
Divine
VVisdom
the
VVord
,
whose
Mouth
in
the
Canticles
is
compared
not
to
Roses
,
The
Stars
whilst
they
fought
against
Sisera
,
Mane●●es
in
ordine
,
&
cursu
suo
,
adversus
Siseram
pugnaverunt
.
And
thus
ought
they
to
do
that
undertake
to
write
against
others
;
which
yet
is
a
combate
not
without
Victory
,
though
without
bloud
.
It
is
good
to
beware
,
that
in
running
the
Lance
of
his
reason
,
he
lose
not
his
stirrup
;
and
thereby
the
merit
of
VVit
be
overcome
by
the
defect
of
Passion
:
A●d
that
he
censure
not
the
pride
of
Plato
;
with
the
pride
of
Diogenes
;
rendring
himself
criminal
in
the
very
act
of
recriminating
.
The
convincing
one
of
errour
,
is
to
put
the
finger
into
the
wound
,
and
to
search
it
even
to
the
bottom
;
and
Action
to
be
done
with
exquisite
delicatenesse
,
that
the
cure
cause
not
more
anguish
,
than
the
wound
.
Discreet
Hyppocrates
,
commanded
that
the
eyes
of
the
sick
,
Carneades
the
Academian
,
being
resolved
to
write
against

of
the
rigid
Sect
of
the
Stoicks
;
with
a
small
pill
of
Hellibore
purged
his
stomack
from
peccant
humours
,
especially
from
Choler
,
to
the
end
their
fumes
should
not
obfuscate
his
VVit
in
that
important
action

Veni
to
be
good
)
if
you
be
not
as
modest
as
efficacious
,
the
Title
of
that
cruel
Chyrurgeon
of
Rome
,
which
for
the
roughnesse
with
which
he
indiscreetly
made
inscitions
,
lost
the
name
of
Chyrurgion
,
But
far
more
difficult
is
it
for
one
,
provoked
to
stop
at
the
mark
of
Reason
;
when
he
thinks
his
resentments
may
be
freer
,
for
that
his
provocation
is
just
and
reasonable
.
This
is
one
of
those
not
ordinary
tempests
in
which
it
is
necessary
to
be
provided
of
the
Rudder
of
Respect
,
and
an
extraordinary
Mastery
over
the
Affections
;
so
that
one
while
with
slight
,
another
while
with
force
we
ward
off
,
and
break
,
the
forceable
and
impetuons
assaults
of
the
Bellows
.
That
Moderamen
inculpata
tutelae
,
there
where
it
is
lawful
to
conjoyn
in
defence
of
ones
self
,
is
a
line
so
difficult
to
be
touched
,
without
running
beyond
it
;
that
it
resembles
the
case
of
him
that
runs
down
the
steep
of
a
Hill
,
and
can
very
hardly
(
in
that
rather
prae●cipice
than
race
)
so
comand
his
feet
,
and
th●
bulk
of
his
body
,
that
at
the
place
where
h●
is
to
stop
,
he
run
not
some
steps
farther
tha●
the
mark
.
If
I
hold
my
tongue
,
men
will
think
I
plead
guilty
by
a
tacit
confession
.
If
I
respond
not
boldly
,
that
will
appear
a
remorse●
of
a
guilty
Conscience
,
which
would
be
the
dictate
of
an
innocent
modesty
.
Thus
I
shall
become
the
Owle
of
Writers
,
and
scorn
of
the
World
;
for
even
the
Spiders
make
their
Webs
upon
the
Statues
about
the
face
and
beard
of
Jupiter
;
nor
fear
they●
his
thunder-bolts
,
because
they
are
in
the
hands
of
a
Wooden
god
insensible
,
and
insensate
.
To
answer
one
,
so
,
that
he
come
off
with
torn
Clothes
,
and
a
broken
face
;
would
be
in
one
,
to
warn
all
others
,
that
they
take
heed
of
two
bold
sharpning
their
Pens
against
such
who
know
how
to
turn
them
into
Darts
,
and
report
Gall
for
Ink
,
and
wounds
for
stings
.
Thus
the
thunder-bolts
from
the
Clouds
Paucorum
periculo
,
multorum
metu
.
Withal
,
there
be
many
,
that
abandoning
themselves
to
Passion
,
to
assert
their
Right
,
relinquish
all
Reason
.
And
the
blind
Fools
perceive
not
,
that
Choler
in
a
Disputant
is
commonly
an
argument
of
weakenesse
,
and
a
sign
of
being
overcome
;
as
calmnesse
and
mirth
,
is
a
testimony
of
Victory
.
Thus
that
Prince
,
the
friend
of
Sydonius
Apollinarius
,
presently
adjudged
him
conquerour
in
the
Disputation●
,
as
soon
as
the
passion
of
the
adversary
did
confesse
it
.
Oblectatur
commotione

;
Moreover
,
as
to
every
opposition
of
every
emulator
,
we
need
not
respond
:
(
whence
therefore
excellent
was
that
saying
of
Xenocrates
in
my
judgment
;
Mota
cute
discutit

.
Yea
sometimes
,
the
cause
is
so
obvious
,
that
there
is
an
advantage
in
shewing
what
could
be
said
,
without
so
much
as
deigning
to
speak
it
.
There
is
not
a
creature
better
provided
for
its
own
defence
,
nor
more
apt
to
anothers
offence
than
the
Porcupine
.

But
against
him
that
provoketh
it
,
though
it
have
all
the
pricks
of
its
body
,
as
Darts
in
the
nock
,
yet
he
useth
not
his
utmost
power
,
and
that
which
he
can
do
with
one
,
he
doth
not
with
two
;
and
if
threats
suffice
,
he
forbears
to
wound
—
Iraque

Prodiga

,
He
only
erects
his
bristles
,
and
as
it
were
putting
them
in
the
bow
,
he
seems
to
say
to
such
as
offend
him
,
Look
to
your selves
there
.
This

But
when
either
the
importance
of
the
Matter
,
or
the
insufferable
tartnesse
of
the
Provoker
,
admits
not
of
silence
,
or
dissimulation
,
assume
a
serious
Defence
,
and
set
on
work
all
that
is
within
the
power
or
capacity
of
VVit
,
Art
,
Reason
,
and
Eloquence
.
In
this
case
you
may
Thunder
and
Lighten
:
but
let
not
the

be
composed
of
stinking
sulpher
to
infect

of
pure
light
to
clear
the
Truth
.
Flie
not
out
irregularly
through

but
free
your selves
justly
by
reason

Let
there
be
,
as
in

the
face
of

youth

of
an
old
man
;
Spirit

and
Judgment

Fortitude

Maturity
;
Resolution
and
Moderation

Learning
would
be
happy
,
if
its
Professors
should
use
betwixt
themselves
the
emulations
,
and
contrasts
,
wherein
erst
Protogenes
and
Apelles
lovingly
contented
,
in
drawing
in
the
midst
of
a
very
small
line
,
another
line
more
small
than
that
,
without
the
least
crookednesse
:
If
the
pungent
,
and
resplendid
Arms
of
VVit
,
were
as
Cassidorus
said
of
certain
others

,
I
here
to
you
this
soul
present
,
As
being
more
worthy

punishment
Than

Daretes

And

now
As

SELF-CONCEIT

The
esteem

own

THe
head
of
a
man
is
not
so
incapacious
,
but
that
,
better
than
the
fabulous
Budget
of
Ulysses
,
it
can
contein
as
many
Winds
as
Pride
and
Loftinesse
inspire
;
nothing
lesse
forceable
to
turn
upside-down
the
Sea
,
and
Land
,
than
are
the
Whirle-winds
to
raise
Tempests
;
and
the
exalations
,
imprisoned
in
subterrenean
Cavernes
,
to
shake
it
with
Earthquakes
.
Those
unfortunate
Scholars
know
this
to
their
cost
;
which
(
I
know
not
if
I
should
say
,
in
,
or
rather
besides
their
Wits
,
)
go
so
stately
,
that
they
think
they
are
riding
in
their
Triumphant
Chariot
.
They
are
the
Saules
,
that
are
above
others
Ab
humcro
&
sursum
,
not
by
the
head
so
much
,
as
by
the
brain
,
and
opinion
of
themselves
.
These
are
the
Olympus'es
,
of
whom
,
the
loftiest
summities
of
Mountains
,
the
most
elevated
ingenuities
,
and
wisest
Soules
,
scarce
attein
to
the
basis
,
and
to
kisse
their
feet
.
They
are
the
Suns
,
that
alone
have
light
to
illuminate
all
obscurity
,
and
to
obscure
all
clarity
.
These
,
I
know
not
whether
they
should
more
move
tears
in
Heraclitus
,
for
compassion
;
or
laughter
in
Democritus
,
for
derision
.
And
howbeit
you
esteem
that
Alexarchus
the
Grammarian
,
is
worthy
of
the
pity
of
a
Phylosopher
rather
than
the
scorn
of
the
Vulgar
;
to
whom
his
School
seeming
an
Heaven
;
What
think
you
of
that
other
Remnius
,
(
rather
Pallon
than
Pollemon
;
)
that
went
up
and
down
bewailing
the
misfortune
of
the
VVorld
,
that
should
remain
after
him
,
as
it
had
done
before
him
ignorant
:
in
regard
learning
,
that
was
born
with
him
,
with
him
also
should
die
?
And
upon
the
matter
it
seemed
true
;
for
he
being
dead
,
there
was
not
one
letter
left
to
make
his
Epitaph
.
But
the
proud
conceit
that
the
tenth
Alphonsus
King
of
Castile
,
had
of
his
Wit
and
Knowledg
,
surpast
the
bounds
of
common
,
yea
,
rather
of
humane
opinionativenesse
;
a
man
by
profession
an
Astronomer
,
(
of
whom
now
a
dayes
those
Tables
of
his
called
Alphonsine
take
their
denomination
)
not
yet
of
so
sublime
intelligence
,
nor
of
such
knowledg
in
this
Art
,
that
Atlas
might
have
trusted
Heaven
to
his
shoulders
,
without
endangering
a
ruine
;
but
of
so
high
esteem
of
his
own
brain
,
That
had
he
been
permitted
Gods
ear
when
he
composed
the
Heavens
,
and
assigned
the
periods
to
the
Stars
:
he
would
have
contrived
this
work
with
more
order
,
and
with
rules
of
more
exact
proportion
.
Only
madnesse
could
defend
this
blasphemy
from
the
fulminations
of
the
Heavens
,
where
posuit
ossuum
:
and
indeed
God
imputed
it
to
his
folly
,
using
him
with
more
compassion
than
anger
,
and
by
letting
him
blood
as
a
frantick
person
in
the
vein
in
the
middle
of
his
fore-head
,
took
away
his
Crown
.
He
would
give
him
to
understand
,
that
he
would
not
have
known
how
to
adjust
the
Revolutions
of
Heaven
to
a
better
form
;
and
therefore
sent
him
a
Revolution
in
his
Kingdom
:
which
he
,
with
all
the
Canons
and
Rules
of
his
Calculations
,
never
knew
how
to
adjust
;
whereupon
he
came
to
be
deposed
by
his
Son
and
died
an
exile
in
a
forreign
Countrey
.
Men
distracted
as
Alexarchus
,
as
Remnius
,
although
perhaps
lesse
known
,
I
doubt
not
but
(
as
in
all
times
,
)
so
also
such
there
are
now a-dayes
in
the
World
.
He
that
would
pourtray
them
to
the
life
,
may
depaint
a
great
Smoak

(
that
advanceth
it self
even
to

,
and
the
more
it
exalts

the
more
do

great
Volumnes
swell
and
dilate

Hearing
them
some
times
speak
in
their
own
praise
,
and
in
under-valuing
of
others
,
we
may
know
how
justly
they
merit
the
salute
that
Philip
of
Macedon
returned
to
his
proud
Physician
that
writ
to
him
,
Menecrates
Jupiter
Philippo

:
The
answer
was
,
Philippus
Menecrati

which
was
to
make
himself
the
Doctor
of
his
Doctor
;
and
to
send
him
for
the
health
of
his
brain
,
a
dose
of

in
a

.
You
may
hear

That

O

And
if
not
so
,
at

let
them
attempt
to
open
the
door
to
let
out
the
wind
,
with
which
the
wretches
have
their
heads
so
puft
up
;
and
this
may
be
done
by
bringing
their
eyes
into
the
light
of
some
perspicuous
verities
;
Such
as
these
;
1
Every
one
fancies
his
own
things
,
being
little
,
to
be
great
.
Self-love
is
a
concaveglasse
that
represents
an
Hair
to
be
a
Tree
,
and
a
Gnat
to
be
a
Pegasus
.
He
that
takes
Love
for
a
Judg
,
esteemes
his
matters
as
that
Clitus
esteemed
a
Naval
fight
,
in
which
battering
and
sinking
onely
three
Grecian
Gallies
,
Whence
is
it
that
the
Moon
being
forty
times
lesse
than
the
Earth
,
seemeth
to
the
judgment
of
the
eye
equal
to
the
Sun
,
which
yet
is
greater
than
the
Earth
almost
an
hundred
and
forty
times
?
But
only
because
the
vicinity
of
the
Moon
to
the
Earth
,
representeth
it
so
much
greater
;
as
the
Sun
appears
lesser
,
by
being
more
remote
.
But
there
is
nothing
so
neer
to
any
one
,
as
is
his
own
composures
;
thence
it
is
that
they
seem
to
them
immensurably
great
,
and
more
vast
than
those
of
other
men
,
which
by
being
besides
us
,
and
therefore
remote
from
us
,
are
much
diminished
in
their
appearance
.

Compare
a
Grass-hopper
to
an
Ant
,
and
who
doubt
but
that
it
would
seem
a
Giant
?
He
that
measures
what
he
knoweth
,
though
very
little
,
with
what
he
knoweth
who
knoweth
nothing
;
believes
himself
to
be
absolutely
,
when
as
he
is
only
comparatively
,
most
Learned
.
Those
that
went
to
study
at
Athens
,
said
Menedemus
,
went
thither
Doctors
,
continued
there
Scholars
,
and
came
away
Ignorants
.
This
was
the
Art
by
which
most
prudent
Socrates
corrected
the
presumption
of
his
Alcibiades
,
who
being
rich
by
paternal
inheritance
,
and
by
his
acquist
of
much
wealth
,
became
so
stately
,
as
if
he
had
been
a
Monarch
of
the
World
not
a
private
Citizen
of
Athens
.
He
brought
him
to
the
knowledg
of
himself
,
self
,
by
a
Map
of
the
World
,
in
which
he
found
Europe
,
and
in
it
Greece
,
and
in
Greece
with
much
a-do
Athens
;
Now
(
saith
he
)
shew
me
here
thy
House
,
and
thy
Fields
;
which
having
,
as
thou
seest
,
no
place
in
the
World
:
how
comes
it
,
that
thy
head
is
filled
with
such
contemptible
thoughts
of
the
World
?
He
that
believeth
himself
to
be
in
Ingenuity
and
Wit
a
Star
of
the
first
magnitude
,
let
him
compare
himself
not
with
the
lesser
,
but
with
the
Suns
of
the
World
;
and
in
one
and
the
same
instant
,
he
shall
see
his
ambition
to
wane
,
and
his
light
to
vanish
.
3
That
one
,
where
as
he
is
great
among
others
,
should
desire
to
be
greater
than
others
;
where
as
he
is
one
of
the
first
,
he
should
desire
to
be
alone
;
is
that
which
may
not
be
suffered
in
any
one
,
more
then
heretofore
it
was
tolerated
in
that
proud
Pompey
;
Primum
Mobile
,
that
without
receiving
impression
or
motion
from
a
Superiour
Heaven
,
giveth
the
motion
,
and
revolution
to
the
lesser
Spheres
.
Who
is
there
,
that
knows
so
much
,
that
others
before
him
knew
nothing
;
so
that
〈◊〉
may
assume
the
insolent
words
of
Prince
●alphas
,
Vos
nescitis
quidquam
?
Nature
was
●ot
so
sterile
,
that
you
being
made
,
she
had
not
the
like
Molds
again
to
make
others
:
Nor
so
poor
,
that
to
make
you
rich
in
knowledg
,
she
should
leave
others
Beggars
.
Wherefore
then
look
you
round
about
you
,
and
thinking
you
see
none
in
the
World
that
may
stand
in
competition
with
you
for
knowledge
,
say
you
foolishly
to
your selves
,
as
Deucalion
said
to
his
Companion
,
Nos
duo
turba
sumus
?
Wherefore
make
you
your
wit
a
Procrustes
,
and
desire
that
every
one
equallize
the
stature
of
your
Judgment
as
the
Standard
of
Truth
;
and
therefore
cut
off
the
feet
of
those
that
surpasse
you
,
and
wrack
the
feet
of
those
that
did
not
reach
to
your
length
?
But
admit
you
were
for
ingenuity
the
first
amongst
the
foremost
,
is
it
a
very
inferiour
and
unworthy
thing
to
be
our
own
Panegyrist
,
and
a
despiser
of
others
?
Hear
how
the
Brooks
roare
and
accosting
with
stones
how
they
rumble
,
that
they
seem
to
carry
not
a
Rivolet
of
water
,
but
a
Sea
;
&
yet
many
times
though
their
channel
be
a
mile
,
their
depth
is
not
a
palm
.
On
the
other
side
the
real
Rivers
,
no
lesse
deep
than
vast
,
with
how
much
,
I
will
say
,
modesty
,
do
they
go
to
the
Sea
?
There
is
not
heard
from
them
the
least
murmuration
that
might
intimate
the
profoundity
of
their
bottoms
,
the
amplitude
of
their
shores
,
the
clarity
of
their
streams
,
or
the
impetuosity
of
their
currents
;
they
move
silently
and
quietly
.
They
that
carry
but
a
small
depth
(
in
wit
many
times
it
is
true
,
but
in
the
judgment
alwayes
)
are
most
intolerably
clamorous
;
&
with
their
own
applauds
,
and
the
villifyings
of
others
,
deafen
the
world
:
whereby
,
before
they
are
aware
,
they
make
themselves
the
more
contemptible
,
by
how
much
the
more
they
extol
themselves
:
for
according
to
the
Aphorisin
of
Symoniacus
,
In
magnos
animos
non
cadit
affectaia
jactatio
.
But
because
it
is
the
property
of
Opinionative
Wits
,
to
use
not
only
Pride
on
Earth
,
but
to
exercise
Curiosity
in
respect
of
Heaven
;
in
the
first
,
unjust
to
men
,
to
whom
they
would
be
undeservedly
superiour
;
in
the
second
,
impious
to
God
,
whose
being
,
whose
actions
they
weigh
by
the
weight
,
and
measure
by
the
pole
of
their
short
understanding
:
take
therefore
upon
this
occasion
the
subsequent
consideration
.
Two
great
evils
of
Misbelievers
;
To
serch
matters
of
Faith
with
the
curiosity
of
Phylosophy
,
and
to
believe
matters
of
Phylosophy
with
the
certainty
of
Faith
.
GEographers
in
their
Protractions
upon
Maps
,
or
Globes
of
the
Earth
,
when
they
come
to
the
confines
of
Countries
hitherto
discovered
,
having
no
knowledg
of
the
others
that
remain
,
are
accustomed
to
draw
certain
obscure
lines
at
random
,
and
in
the
space
that
is
left
to
write
Terra
Incognita
.
Of
this
custome
of
Geographers
Plutarch
makes
a
very
apt
use
,
For
a
man
that
is
of
high
ingenuity
,
and
of
vast
intellectuals
,
measured
with
what
he
presumes
to
understand
it
is
no
more
than
a
shallow
ditch
,
for
to
contein
the
Ocean
.
For
though
the
speculations
,
and
sublime
thoughts
,
with
which
the
mind
is
elevated
to
the
knowledge
of
the
occult
truths
of
Faith
,
be
very
lofty
,
yet
they
can
bring
us
no
nearer
to
them
,
than
the
Giants
of
Phlegra
were
to
Heaven
,
when
they
climbed
to
the
tops
of
Pelion
,
Ossa
,
and
Olympus
.
The
eye
of
an
Owl
is
not
made
to
view
the
Sun
,
on
which
the
Eagle
with
her
adamantine
pupil
can
scarce
immoveably
fix
her
sight
.
Fisher-boats
with
a
piece
of
a
sail
,
and
half
a
rudder
,
are
not
able
to
furrow
the
Ocean
,
and
discover
new
Worlds
.
What
other
are
our
Intellectuals
tied
to
the
clog
of
the
senses
,
The
water
of
a
Fountain
riseth
no
higher
than
the
head
and
spring
from
whence
it
flowes
;
whereupon
we
use
to
say
:
That
water
ascends
no
more
than
it
descends
.
Now
our
judgment
doth
it
not
begin
from
the
Senses
?
and
these
of
what
other
are
they
capable
,
than
of
matter
within
the
bounds
of
sensible
Nature
?
And
how
do
we
expect
hence
Fontem
aquae
saltentis
in
vitam
aeternam
,
which
we
interpret
of
the
knowledg
of
things
supernatural
,
and
Divine
?
But
amongst
those
,
which
we
may
call
wickedly
curious
,
others
there
are
,
who
presume
to
make
themselves
Masters
of
that
of
which
the
World
hitherto
hath
had
none
that
have
been
Scholars
;
and
whetting
the
edg
of
their
Wits
,
ma●gre
the
impossibility
,
would
penetrate
to
the
very
Center
of
Verity
,
&
see
her
in
her self
,
unveiled
,
and
naked
.
They
have
scarce
a
mouth
to
suck
the
milk
of
Faith
,
and
yet
they
will
gnaw
the
bones
,
and
take
thence
the
marrow
;
As
if
they
already
understood
that
,
which
Nature
hath
of
intelligible
;
so
that
nothing
rests
for
them
to
penetrate
,
but
only
the
obscure
mysteries
of
Faith
.
They
would
be
Hercules's
,
that
having
seen
and
conquered
,
the
Sea
,
Land
and
Hell
it self
they
might
say
,
Per
domita
tellus
,
But
whilst
they
raise
themselves
on
tip-toe
and
stretch
out
their
wings
to
flie
;
how
seasonable
would
it
be
for
one
to
hint
to
them
,
the
much
that
they
attempt
,
and
the
little
that
they
atchieve
:
For
one
to
whisper
in
their
ears
,
what
the
Womā
of
Samaria
said
to
Christ
.
Domine
,
neque
in
quo
haurias
habes
,
&
puteus
altus
est
.
Before
you
aspire
to
greater
matters
,
answer
to
the
question
made
you
by
St.
Jerome
:
Why
the
Elephants
,
that
are
as
it
were
so
many
Mountains
of
flesh
,
have
onely
four
feet
,
on
which
they
rest
the
immeasurable
masses
of
their
huge
bodies
:
and
the
Louse
,
which
is
but
a
living
Point
,
hath
six
?
You
will
confesse
you
know
not
this
,
(
which
if
you
did
,
you
knew
just
nothing
;
)
and
will
you
pretend
to
understand
that
,
which
even
that
man
is
not
able
to
understand
who
understands
all
things
?
At
the
first
step
you
take
in
the
pursuit
of
intelligible
things
,
you
stumble
with
Thales
into
a
ditch
,
and
would
you
attein
to
the
sight
of
that
which
so
far
surmounts
the
Stars
?
How
opposite
to
you
,
would
the
correction
be
,
which
Zeno
the
Stoick
,
gave
to
a
conceited
young
Fellow
,
that
had
as
little
wit
in
his
head
,
as
hair
on
his
face
;
and
demanded
his
answer
to
things
,
of
which
he
was
not
able
to
understand
the
demand
:
The
Phylosopher
made
him
set
a
Looking-glasse
before
him
,
and
then
whispered
in
his
ear
;
The
demand
you
make
,
and
the
question
you
ask
,
are
worthy
of
this
beard
.
Your
Wit
in
comparison
of
that
of
the
Great
Augustine
,
is
but
as
a
Grashopper
confronted
to
a
Horse
;
and
do
you
pretend
to
couch
the
lance
,
and
hit
the
mark
,
when
he
withdraws
,
and
presumes
not
to
essay
it
?
Yea
,
(
as
it
were
slinging
himself
with
that
Phylosopher
into
the
Sea
,
and
saying
,
O
abysse
tu
me
cape
,
quia
te
ipse
non
capio
:
)
he
an
hundred
times
protesteth
in
his
writings
to
know
nothing
;
and
that
he
knew
not
how
to
know
;
and
goes
on
saying
,
Nescio
,
&
non
erubesco
consiteri
me
nescire
quod
nescio
.
And
how
dare
you
open
your
mouth
,
or
exalt
your
voice
to
contradict
,
and
question
that
,
to
which
for
this
sixteen
Ages
,
the
Pens
of
a
world
of
Doctors
;
the
Blood
of
a
world
of
Martyrs
;
the
consent
of
so
many
Nations
;
the
Testimony
of
so
many
Miracles
have
subscribed
and
ratified
?
With
the
Rush-candle
of
your
Dim
understanding
,
will
you
pretend
to
examine
the
light
of
the
Sun
?
Cannot
the
Wisedom
of
God
,
your
Master
,
do
as
much
with
you
;
as
that
of
Pythagoras
with
his
Scholars
?
Others
there
are
as
vile
as
obstinate
,
that
swearing
in
verba
magistri
;
they
take
the
Texts
of
some
Ancient
Phylosophers
for
Sacraments
;
and
his
Sentences
for
Oracles
:
and
so
far
confesse
Christ
,
as
he
doth
not
contradict
Aristotle
,
or
Plato
.
Thus
they
hold
the
Gospel
,
and
Phylosophy
,
in
equilibrium
,
in
an
equal
poise
of
belief
.
Quid
Athenis
,
How
much
mischief
did
Plato
in
the
first
Ages
of
the
Church
;
too
much
read
,
too
much
believed
,
and
so
made
,
as
the
same
Tertullian
speaks
,
Haeresum
Condimentarium
:
He
instanceth
,
(
passing
by
all
the
rest
,
since
that
he
alone
serves
for
all
,
)
in
unfortunate
Origen
;
that
of
an
Eagle
which
he
had
been
,
accustomed
to
fix
his
eyes
on
the
Sun
of
Christian
Prudence
,
and
to
draw
thence
lights
of
sublimest
Truths
;
was
transformed
into
a
Batt
:
admiring
a
few
glimmering
rayes
of
light
mixed
with
many
umbrages
of
ignorance
and
errour
:
and
became
so
great
a
Platonick
,
that
he
in
the
end
ceased
to
be
a
Catholick
;
losing
the
Truth
in
Fables
,
and
the
Faith
in
Phylosophy
:
and
that
same
man
whose
breast
had
been
kissed
tamquam
Spiritus
Sancti
,
&
coelestis
sapientiae
templum
;
became
Master
of
a
School
of
Errours
,
and
Reader
of
the
blind
;
and
so
madly
did
he
talk
,
that
as
before
,
Ubi
benè
nemo
melius
:
so
after
,
Ubi
male
nemo
pejus
.
What
infinite
mischief
even
at
this
day
doth
that
Struendi
,
Those
are
Frogs
,
&
phylosophia
nostra
Christus
est
.
SELF-DECEIT
.
The
folly
of
such
as
pretend
to
study
little
and
know
much
.
IT
is
not
the
opinion
of
Hyppocrates
only
,
nor
of
Aristotle
,
That
heaven
hath
been
sparing
to
us
of
that
time
,
whereof
it
hath
been
so
prodigal
to
Stags
,
Crows
and
Cypresses
.
We
have
alotted
us
too
short
a
life
for
so
long
a
Lesson
;
too
short
a
Viaticum
for
so
tedious
a
Voyage
.
There
is
no
such
virtue
now
to
be
found
in
steel
,
to
strengthen
those
Elixir
vitae
,
that
inbalmed
Men
alive
;
so
that
seeing
themselves
to
aproach
their
thousanth
year
,
they
resolved
to
leave
the
World
more
out
of
satiety
with
so
long
a
life
,
than
out
of
any
necessity
of
death
.
We
,
like
Flowers
that
yesterday
sprung
up
,
to
day
are
old
,
and
to
morrow
dead
,
have
so
short
life
,
as
if
we
were
born
only
to
die
.
That
which
in
the
Ancients
was
but
their
Child-hood
,
is
in
us
old
Age
;
their
tythes
are
our
excessive
riches
,
their
overpluss's
,
our
treasures
:
so
that
of
horinesse
and
gray-hairs
,
the
Alexandrian
Tertullian
saith
,
with
as
much
Truth
,

hec

nostra
.
If
our
knowing
in
this
manner
,
the
shortnesse
of
our
life
,
could
but
perswade
us
to
spend
it
according
to
its
brevity
;
that
would
be
a
favour
,
which
we
think
a
punishment
.
Is
an
unreasonable
thing
to
accuse
Heaven
as
niggardly
of
time
to
us
,
and
we
like
prodigals
profusely
to
wast
it
;
using
our
life
,
as
if
we
were
to
measure
it
with
the
long
pace
of
many
Ages
;
not
with
the
short
palm
of
a
few
years
.
Who
is
there
that
with
the
Prince
of
Physicians
c●yes
not
out
,
Ars
longa
,
vita
brevis
?
but
in
the
meantime
,
who
is
there
,
that
is
solicitous
to
get
quickly
,
to
the
mark
which
the
most
diligent
reach
to
,
but
too
late
?
Ad
sapient●am
quis
accedit
?
Nature
with
good
advice
hath
placed
Man
in
the
middle
of
the
World
,
as
in
the
Center
of
an
immense
Theater
,
Procerum
●uimal
(
saith
Cassiodorus
)
&
in
essigiem
pulcherrimae
speculationis
erectum
,
to
be
there
not
as
an
otious
Inhabitor
,
but
a
curious
Spectator
of
this
her
incomparable
work
:
in
so
much
union
,
so
various
;
in
so
much
variety
sounited
;
with
more
miracles
,
that
adorn
it
,
than
parts
,
which
compose
it
.
Howbeit
,
to
those
that
rightly
behold
it
,
it
is
not
the
design
of
nature
,
to
put
us
in
the
VVorld
,
so
much
in
a
Theater
,
that
we
should
admire
;
as
in
a
School
that
we
should
learn
.
Therefore
she
hath
enkindled
in
our
hearts
an
inextinguishable
desire
of
knowledge
;
and
setting
open
before
our
eyes
,
as
many
Volumnes
,
as
the
Heavens
and
Elements
contein
natures
;
with
shewing
us
in
them
manifest
effects
,
inviteth
us
to
trace
out
their
hidden
causes
.
What
strengh
what
force
of
intelligence
of
the
assistant
,
or
rather
intrinsick
form
is
that
,
which
revolves
the
great
masse
of
the
Elements
with
indefatigable
motion
?
Are
the
Spheres
of
the
Planets
many
Heavens
,
that
contracted
in
the
concave
of
each
others
lap
interchangeably
surround
one
another
:
or
serves
only
Heaven
to
all
that
great
family
of
Stars
for
Mansion
?
Of
what
substance
composed
?
Corruptible
or
incorruptible
?
Liquid
as
Air
;
or
consollidate
,
and
firm
,
as
a
Diamond
?
Whence
proceed
the
Maculae
,
and
whence
the
Faculae
about
the
Sun
?
VVhence
the
obscurity
in
the
face
of
the
Moon
?
Of
what
matter
are
the
new
Stars
and
Comets
composed
,
and
with
what
fire
enkindled
,
that
appear
unexpectedly
?
Are
they
Forreigners
,
or
Citizens
of
Heaven
?
Natives
of
that
Countrey
,
or
Aspirers
from
here
below
?
The
irregular
errours
of
the
Planets
,
how
may
they
be
reduced
to
regularity
without
errour
?
How
may
we
know
,
how
may
we
fore-see
Eclipses
?
How
great
is
the
profoundity
of
the
Heavens
?
How
great
the
number
of
the
Stars
?
How
great
the
velocity
of
their
motions
?
How
great
the
moles
of
their
bodies
?
The
Winds
,
whence
take
they
their
wings
to
slie
;
the
spaces
of
their
course
,
the
force
of
their
blasts
,
the
qualities
of
their
operation
,
and
the
set
measure
of
time
for
their
rising
,
duration
,
departure
?
Who
holdeth
so
many
ponderous
Clouds
suspended
in
the
Air
?
How
drop
by
drop
do
they
squeeze
out
Rain
?
How
from
their
pregnant
watery
wombs
,
are
Thunders
begotten
,
which
be
fire
?
Who
congeals
them
into
Snow
?
Who
hardeneth
them
into
Hail
?
With
what
Ultamarine
is
the
Rain-bow
depainted
with
alwayes
one
order
of
Colours
,
and
one
proportionate
measure
of
Diameter
?
Whence
again
,
comes
the
source
of
Springs
on
the
highest
tops
of
Mountains
?
Whence
comes
it
,
that
there
should
be
in
Hils
of
one
&
the
same
Earth
,
Marbles
of
so
various
mixtures
,
Mettals
of
so
different
tempers
.
Who
assigns
the
Sea
its
periods
,
of
flux
and
reflux
.
Who
replenisheth
the
Rivers
with
waters
,
so
that
their
Channels
are
alwayes
full
,
though
they
be
alwayes
emptying
?
The
imbroidery
of
Flowers
and
Herbs
;
the
working
of
so
various
bodies
in
Beasts
,
in
Birds
,
in
Fishes
;
the
temper
of
the
mixt
,
the
harmony
of
the
common
and
occult
qualities
:
In
fine
,
what
ever
is
,
what
ever
is
made
:
what
being
hath
it
,
and
how
is
it
produced
?
To
know
all
this
in
comparison
of
what
might
be
known
,
is
to
know
nothing
:
And
yet
who
is
there
that
knoweth
this
Nothing
?
Is
there
then
so
much
to
be
known
,
and
have
we
so
little
time
of
life
to
learn
it
,
and
do
we
think
that
the
onely
surplussages
,
and
shreds
of
time
sufficeth
us
for
study
?
Hear
now
what
I
have
told
you
,
expressed
in
the
conclusion
of
that
precious
little
Treatise
of
Seneca
,
Those
Sages
,
Masters
of
the
World
:
some
whereof
have
left
their
Memories
,
and
others
the
productions
of
their
Wit
eternized
to
us
;
knowing
this
,
as
we
esteem
little
Diamonds
,
so
they
held
precious
the
least
minute
of
that
time
,
of
which
alone
it
is
commendable
to
be
covetous
.
It
was
a
miracle
to
see
them
in
Publick
:
and
they
resembled
,
as
in
the
love
of
VVisdom
,
so
also
in
this
,
the
Planet
Mercury
,
which
is
placed
very
neer
the
Sun
,
and
which
,
by
that
means
very
hardly
is
discerned
:
as
if
he
cared
not
for
terrene
eyes
,
who
alwayes
was
in
the
eye
of
the
Sun
:
and
beheld
by
him
,
not
with
an
unprofitable
look
,
but
with
a
large
communication
of
light
.
In
perpetuity
of
study
,
they
were
like
those
Falcons
neer
the
North-Pole
;
which
when
the
dayes
are
shorrest
,
when
the
Sun
approacheth
Capricorn
,
are
so
much
more
solicitous
in
seeking
,
so
much
the
more
rapid
in
following
,
so
much
the
more
couragious
in
assaulting
,
and
over-comming
their
prey
.
Men
,
as
white
in
their
thoughts
,
as
hair
,
were
not
ashamed
to
sit
in
the
open
streets
,
where
they
found
matter
of
new
cognitions
:
and
as
Diogenes
to
him
that
reprehended
him
for
eating
in
the
Market-place
,
Cum
in
foro
esuriam
,
quare
in
foro
non
edam
?
thus
to
them
,
the
not
knowing
of
some
object
,
was
a
sufficient
excuse
to
take
it
where
it
offered
it self
to
them
.
Farther
more
that
which
by
the
Law
of
Nature
they
were
bound
to
allow
the
body
to
preserve
life
,
they
allowed
themselves
for
necessity
not
for
delight
,
and
many
times
it
fell
out
,
that
,
either
with
a
voluntary
abstinence
,
they
in
part
deprived
themselves
of
it
,
or
immerged
in
the
profound
thoughts
of
their
studies
,
for
some
time
forgot
it
.
Thus
Carneades
,
(
unmindful
of
his
being
a
Man
,
while
he
was
all
mind
,
and
all
thought
,
and
fated
with
the
sweetest
Nectar
of
those
noble
cognitions
,
with
which
he
banqueted
his
VVit
,
)
had
let
his
body
die
of
famine
,
if
others
by
force
had
not
revived
him
with
food
.
Thus
Archimedes
seemed
alwayes
out
of
himself
,
whilst
he
was
more
than
ever
wholly
in
himself
:
abstractus
à
tabula
,
à
familis
,
(
said
Plutarch
)
spoliatus
,
unctus
,
super
ipsa
pelle
sua
Mathematica
Schemata
exarabat
.
Thus
,
to
omit
a
hundred
others
,
Demosthenes
,
knowing
himself
indebted
to
his
noble
VVit
for
a
more
than
ordinary
successe
,
took
his
house
for
a
prison
:
and
,
shaving
his
head
,
oblieged
himself
from
going
abroad
,
till
he
saw
his
hair
grown
on
his
head
,
and
his
mind
improved
in
VVisdom
,
which
he
wanted
.
VVe
,
that
ought
to
be
so
much
the
more
studious
than
these
,
by
how
much
the
more
ignorant
,
do
we
conceit
,
we
do
not
only
enough
,
but
more
than
we
need
,
if
reserving
one
,
or
at
most
two
hours
in
a
day
frō
the
dulcities
of
sleep
,
from
the
urgency
of
negotiation
,
from
the
invitation
of
profit
,
we
dedicate
them
to
study
?
To
so
little
study
a
Noahs
age
would
be
requisite
:
Ut
illum
Di
malè
perdant
,
So
great
a
desire
should
ye
have
also
,
to
feed
your
mind
with
the
sweet
honey
of
VVisdom
:
that
your
sleeping
hours
should
seem
ages
,
and
the
most
necessary
actions
for
the
maintenance
of
life
torments
.
That
same
Demosthenes
,
of
whom
a
little
above
I
told
you
,
had
so
great
an
appetite
thereto
that
to
feed
the
mind
he
made
his
eyes
abstein
from
sleep
,
and
his
belly
from
food
:
whereupon
,
Plus
olei
,
And
this
ought
also
to
be
a
Law
to
you
,
not
to
give
to
that
most
avaritious
Publican
(
as
Clement
Alexandrinus
calleth
Somnus
)
the
half
of
your
life
for
Custome
.
It
will
not
succeed
to
you
,
To
him
that
sleeps
in
this
manner
,
sleep
becomes
not
only
what
Tertullian
calls
it
,
Recreatorem
corporum
,
Master
of
the
Resurrection
for
the
more
blessed
use
of
Life
.
A
speech
of
an
Angel
in
the
mouth
of
a
Beast
,
esteem
I
that
excellent
saying
of
Apollonius
,
Qui
aiebat
(
relates
Phylostratus
)
opportere
rectè
Phylosophantes
,
Beati
qui
seipsos
assimilant
Angelis
ita
vigilando
.
And
this
ought
not
to
hold
in
force
for
a
few
dayes
only
,
but
to
be
the
ordinary
Law
of
our
lives
,
That
in
the
division
of
the
hours
of
the
day
,
we
dedicate
the
first
,
and
commonly
the
most
to
study
.
IMPRUDENCE
.
The
unprofitable
endeavours
of
him
that
studieth
against
the
inclination
of
his
Genius
.
TO
set
out
with
successe
upon
our
journey
,
in
Arts
,
Sciences
,
and
every
profession
of
Learning
,
it
is
necessary
to
consult
the
Genius
,
and
from
its
inclinations
to
take
directions
;
as
for
him
that
goes
to
Sea
,
to
observe
the
wind
that
blows
,
to
fit
the
sails
,
&
turn
the
rudder
accordingly
.
Nature
is
like
the
Planets
;
that
where
they
go
retrograde
,
make
but
small
progresse
.
They
get
not
most
from
her
,
that
most
presse
and
force
her
;
but
they
that
most
please
and
observe
her
:
whereupon
,
she
,
which
freely
working
in
every
,
though
difficult
enterprize
,
succeeds
with
no
lesse
facility
than
felicity
;
(
as
the
Coelestial
Syrens
revolve
their
great
Spheres
with
their
melody
,
)
if
violence
be
offered
her
,
she
not
only
not
increaseth
the
virtue
by
the
force
,
but
rather
loseth
her
former
vigour
and
strength
:
as
water
,
that
by
cold
freezeth
;
and
if
before
it
had
motion
,
now
all
strength
is
extinct
,
and
it
becomes
immoveable
,
and
as
it
were
dead
.
He
,
that
in
the
labours
of
the
brain
,
is
to
contrast
,
not
so
much
with
the
difficulty
,
that
is
incident
in
the
acquist
of
the
Sciences
:
as
with
his
own
Genius
;
and
with
that
which
the
Masters
of
Arts
calleth
Invita
Minerva
:
is
like
to
him
that
swims
against
the
stream
in
a
place
where
some
torrent
precipitates
;
that
toils
much
,
but
advanceth
little
;
till
such
time
as
over-come
by
wearinesse
,
and
losing
together
with
his
little
power
the
remainder
of
his
will
,
he
prove
by
experience
the
truth
of
that
natural
Axiome
,
That
things
violent
are
not
permanent
.
By
this
is
evinced
the
errour
of
such
as
apply
themselves
to
studies
,
and
amongst
them
,
to
the
speculative
,
or
practical
,
or
mixt
:
when
the
Inclination
,
when
the
Genius
,
when
the
Nature
admits
it
not
:
which
is
just
as
if
you
would
strive
to
make
Rivers
leave
their
currents
,
to
go
climb
and
ascend
the
tops
of
hils
.
The
Wise
Athenians
esteemed
it
a
foundation
of
never
knowing
any
thing
,
not
to
know
from
the
beginning
to
apply
our selves
to
that
,
for
which
Nature
design'd
us
.
Thence
it
was
that
before
they
applyed
their
children
to
any
profession
,
they
curiously
inquired
into
their
Inclinations
;
of
which
the
Desires
commonly
are
Truth-telling-Interpreters
:
and
that
they
did
,
by
laying
before
them
the
implements
of
all
Arts
:
Ut
qua
quisque
delectabatur
(
saith
Nazianzen
)
&
ad
quam
sponte
currebant
,
They
believed
that
Heaven
called
them
whether
their
Inclinations
carried
them
.
And
in
that
,
they
accord
with
the
opinion
of
the
mysterious
Cebes
,
who
at
the
first
turn
of
her
Table
shewed
you
Genius
,
who
calling
,
directs
men
the
course
they
should
steer
through
the
whole
series
of
this
life
;
Mandabat
quideis
,
ubi
in
vitam
venerint
,
faciendum
sit
,
&
cui
vitae
se
committere
debeant
,
si
salvi
esse
in
vita
velint
,
ostendebant
.
God
,
It
is
doubtlesse
a
most
unhandsome
thing
to
see
some
times
in
the
Schools
certain
heads
,
better
able
to
crack
Lobsters
,
than
to
study
.
Heads
that
have
a
Mind
so
stupid
,
and
so
ill
adapted
to
the
mysteries
of
Learning
,
that
they
seem
like
a
reverted
Jove
,
to
carry
Bacchus
in
his
brain
,
and
Pallas
in
his
belly
.
Their
Intellectuals
,
fat
,
and
grosse
,
(
as
the
water
of
the
Lake
Asphaltites
,
in
which
nothing
sinks
to
the
bottom
)
creep
with
a
slower
pace
than
the
Pygritia
,
a
notable
creature
of
India
,
that
when
it
is
at
the
speediest
moves
half
a
pace
at
a
hundred
steps
,
and
in
a
hundred
dayes
travails
a
mile
.
No
file
can
be
found
of
temper
hard
enough
to
fetch
the
rust
off
their
Sculs
.
Let
us
make
use
(
as
the
Bears
do
to
their
unform'd
Cubs
)
of
all
the
expert
Tongues
in
the
World
,
they
will
never
be
able
to
ingrave
upon
them
the
least
feature
of
a
Learned
Man
.
Ammonius
would
sooner
make
his
Asse
a
Phylosopher
,
than
one
of
them
a
Grammarian
.
To
what
purpose
do
you
send
such
people
to
School
,
as
if
it
were
to
a
Carvers
shop
,
if
after
all
their
hewing
and
carving
,
they
retein
more
of
a
Block
than
of
a
Mercury
?
To
what
end
would
you
break
that
mans
brain
with
Learning
,
out
of
which
,
if
Vulcan
should
open
it
,
you
should
see
an
Owl
issue
,
rather
than
a
Pallas
?
To
what
purpose
doe
you
seek
out
a
Master
that
is
an
Eagle
,
if
it
be
to
teach
a
Tortoise
to
slie
?
That
is
an
Oracle
of
Wisdom
,
if
it
be
to
enterprize
the
imprinting
Learning
in
a
head
of
one
which
lets
●lie
all
he
knows
out
of
his
brain
,
and
never
indent
so
many
letters
,
as
a
Crane
,
or

himself

broke

giving
himself

led

,
to
the
noble
picturing
of
Souls
:
he
left
the
lies
of
the
Pencils
,
and
gave
himself
to
the
truth
of
Idea's
,
of
which
he
first
depainted
the
Features
,
and
discovered
to
the
World
the
Image
.
Augustus
,
ambitious
to
in-occulate
the
Lawrel
of
a
Poet
,
upon
that
of
Emperour
;
and
of
being
aswel
an
Apollo
with
the
Harp
,
as
he
was
a
Jupiter
with
thunderbolts
,
composed
his
Ajax
;
a
Tragaedy
,
which
for
the
laughter
that
it
merited
,
became
rather
a
Comaedy
,
so
ill
was
it
composed
.
However
he
would
have
it
a
Tragoedy
in
despight
o●
Art
,
and
so
it
proved
;
for
he
gave
it
a
mournful
Exit
by
tearing
it
in
pieces
.
Capricorn
,
which
he
had
in
his
Ascendent
,
called
him
to
Ruling
,
not
to
Rhiming
,
not
to

Pen
,
but
to
the
Scepter
;
not
to
private
Scaenes
,
but
to
the
publick
Theater
of
the
VVorld
.
On
the
contrary
,
Ovid
applyed
by
his
Father
to
the
Law
,
litigated
more
with
himself
than
others
;
for
as
much
as
his
Po●tick
Genius
,
and
the
tranquil
influence
of
Gemini
,
called
him
from
the
bawlings
of
the
Forum
,
to
the
repose
of
the
Muses
;
and
from
the
Sword
of
Astrea
,
to
the
Phletrum
of
Apollo
:
whereupon
in
the
end
,
commencing
from
himself
,
the
Work
of
his
Metamorphosis
;
one
day
transform'd
him
from
an
Advocate
to
a
Poet.
See
how
the
Genius
is
a
faithful
Loadstone
,
which
may
possibly
by
force
be
turn'd
to
any
other
point
,
besides
its
North
;
but
never
rests
,
so
,
as
to
stand
without
constraint
,
till
such
time
as
it
hath
also
gently
done
that
in
us
,
which
the
Poet
speaks
of
Fate
.
Ducunt
volentem
Fata
,
nolentem
tra●unt
.
But
if
it
happen
,
that
the
interests
of
honour
,
and
profit
permit
not
men
to
surcease
that
which
they
badly
began
;
you
shall
see
as
many
Monsters
in
a
Learned
Accademy
,
as
in
an
Affrican
Lybia
:
A
Poetical
Physician
,
A
Phylosophical
Historian
,
a
Mathematical
Civilian
;
in
which
,
those
in-nate
Seeds
which
are
derived
from
the
Womb
,
into
the
Instinct
of
the
Mind
,
confounding
and
in-termingling
themselves
with
those
,
that
are
acquired
by
Study
;
whilst
neither
those
nor
these
wholly
prevail
;
by
being
the
one
and
the
other
;
they
are
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
.
There
is
therefore
a
necessity
,
if
we
will
speed
,
to
apply
our selves
not
only
to
Learning
,
but
to
this
more
than
that
other
Profession
of
Learning
;
and
consult
our
own
Genius
,
which
is
wont
,
to
make
it self
understood
to
such
as
have
good
Eares
by
the
language
of
frequent
Desires
,
when
they
have
not
that
which
they
would
;
and
by
the
pleasure
they
have
when
they
obtein
it
.
Also
it
behoveth
them
to
say
to
their
Will
,
as
Aeöolus
to
Juno
:
—
Tuus
,
Otherwise
,
to
pretend
in
despight
of
ones
Genius
to
prove
excellent
in
any
profession
,
is
just
as
if
one
would
to
open
the
way
to
the
Elyzian
fields
,
lop
that
golden
branch
from
its
stock
,
which
Nature
her self
denied
him
.
—
Non
viribus
ullis
Vincere
,
But
hitherto
I
have
more
evinced
the
necessity
of
observing
the
Genius
,
then
the
manner
of
knowing
it
:
because
it
s
my
opinion
,
that
it
hath
so
knowable
a
voice
,
that
it
needs
no
interpreters
to
declare
it
,
but
cares
to
hear
it
.
It
only
rests
that
we
speak
something
for
others
information
in
this
discovery
;
and
it
shall
be
of
the
countersigns
from
whence
VVit
is
conjectured
:
and
the
knowledge
thereof
will
be
useful
to
the
end
that
in
employing
such
as
depend
upon
us
,
we
erre
not
,
as
others
use
to
do
,
who
,
not
knowing
their
Genius's
,
through
mistake
force
them
to
contrast
with
their
own
Inclinations
.
Little
credit
to
be
given
to
the
signs
of
Ingenuity
taken
from
the
Physiognomy
.
THe
Ancient
Architects
,
more
by
the
Laws
of
Judgment
than
Art
,
in
building
a
Temple
to
any
god
,
of
three
Grecian
Orders
,
Dorick
,
Jonick
,
and
Corinthian
,
Mars
,
Hercules
,
and
Pallas
:
The
Corinthian
,
soft
and
lascivious
,
for
Venus
,
Flora
,
Proserpina
,
and
the
Water-Nymphs
:
The
Jonick
,
moderate
,
for
Juno
,
Diana
,
Bacchus
and
the
like
.
The
very
same
Law
(
as
some
Platonists
,
and
all
Physiognomers
are
of
opinion
)
hath
Nature
rigorously
observed
in
building
Bodies
,
which
are
the
Temples
of
the
Soul
:
so
that
there
being
some
Souls
Warlike
,
others
Cowardly
;
some
vivatious
and
ingenious
,
others
stupid
and
insensate
;
some
servile
,
others
imperious
,
born
to
comand
:
she
hath
in
conformity
also
to
their
internal
Genius's
,
and
tempers
delineated
the
external
features
of
the
Face
;
and
used
such
Architecture
in
the
Body
,
as
corresponded
with
the
inclination
of
the
Mind
:
From
thence
hath
the
Art
of
Conjectural
Physiognomy
took
its
beginnings
;
by
which
,
from
that
which
is
seen
in
any
one
,
that
which
is
concealed
is
collected
,
and
inferred
.
And
,
look
as
they
gather
from
the
quantity
of
the
Manners
,
whether
good
,
or
bad
:
many
,
and
different
,
and
not
seldom
repugnant
Indices
of
the
Wit
in
such
as
they
find
either
stupid
,
or
apprehensive
,
and
acute
;
so
likewise
do
they
multiply
Signes
for
the
knowing
it
,
as
if
they
were
to
find
out
a
Proteus
by
the
natural
features
of
his
face
,
and
not
a
Wit
by
its
Qualities
.
But
because
many
of
these
Masters
of
Divining
,
more
looking
to
the
Features
,
and
tempers
of
some
few
ingenious
persons
,
than
to
the
universal
occult
causes
of
the
Wit
,
have
made
the
faces
of
a
few
,
the
common
Index
of
all
;
The
Platonists
deny
that
Beauty
of
Mind
,
and
deformity
of
Body
can
subsist
together
in
one
and
the
same
man
.
Mind
.
Pythagoras
that
Soul
of
Light
,
was
so
fair
in
his
features
,
that
his
Scholars
some
called
him
,
others
believed
him
Apollo
in
the
disguise
of
Pythagoras
,
or
Pythagoras
coppied
from
Apollo
:
Nor
doth
there
want
a
reason
for
the
same
.
For
as
much
as
beauty
is
no
other
,
than
a
certain
Flower
,
that
is
produced
by
the
Soul
,
as
a
buried
seed
,
upon
this
ground
of
the
Body
.
Likewise
the
Sun
,
if
a
Cloud
cover
it
,
it
shineth
through
it
,
with
its
more
subtle
Rayes
,
and
renders
it
so
glorious
,
that
it
no
longer
resembleth
a
vapour
extracted
from
the
Earth
,
sordid
and
obscure
,
but
flaming
Gold
and
as
it
were
another
Sun
.
No
otherwise
a
Soul
,
that
is
a
Sun
of
light
within
the
Cloud
of
the
Body
,
that
covers
and
conceals
it
,
shineth
through
it
with
the
rayes
of
its
beauty
;
so
that
it
renders
that
also
beyond
measure
beautiful
:
and
this
is
that
which
Plotonus
calls
the
Dominion
,
that
Form
hath
over
Matter
.
VVhich
if
it
should
be
granted
,
that
Souls
come
only
into
Bodies
resembling
them
;
and
onely
tye
this
knot
of
strict
amity
,
there
where
there
is
exact
similitude
;
who
but
sees
that
a
beautiful
Soul
cannot
then
unite
it self
to
a
deformed
Body
?
Nor
availeth
it
to
tell
them
of
Aesop
,
(
born
,
if
ever
any
was
,
with
the
Moon
in
the
Nodes
)
that
he
was
a
Thersytes
;
Crates
,
no
Citizen
of
Thebes
but
a
Monster
of
Affrick
;
of
Socrates
,
so
ill-furnisht
with
beauty
,
yea
,
of
so
grosse
a
stamp
,
that
Sophyrus
the
Physiognomer
gave
him
for
the
very
Idea
of
one
stupid
and
blockish
;
whom
Alcibiades
called
a
Sylenus
;
thereby
declaring
him
without
,
half
Beast
;
within
,
more
than
Man
:
and
Theodorus
describing
in
Theectetus
a
Youth
of
most
fortunate
VVit
,
speaking
with
the
same
Socrates
,
could
tell
him
,
Non
est
pulcher
:
similis
tui
est
:
simo
naso
,
&
prominentibus
oculis
,
quamvis
minus
ille
quam
tu
in
his
modum
excedat
.
They
deny
that
such
deformity
in
them
was
the
intention
of
Nature
,
but
the
mistake
of
Chance
;
not
the
defect
of
Form
,
but
the
fault
of
disobedient
Matter
.
But
if
that
be
so
,
the
Women
have
therein
great
advantage
,
to
whom
Beauty
was
given
for
a
Dowry
;
and
we
see
,
that
it
is
Natures
continual
care
,
to
work
that
soft
and
morbid
Earth
,
so
,
that
she
may
therein
plant
this
flower
the
more
succesfully
.
And
yet
through
the
subjection
to
which
they
were
condemned
,
they
have
as
little
Judgment
in
their
heads
,
as
they
have
much
of
handsomnesse
in
their
faces
.
VVhence
Aesops
Fox
may
say
of
the
most
of
them
,
as
he
said
of
the
Marble
head
of
a
very
lovely
fac'd
Statue
;
O
beautiful
,
but
brainless
head
!
And
really
,
if
we
observe
experience
,
it
will
be
obvious
,
that
Nature
is
not
oblieged
to
these
Laws
,
of
setting
Pearls
only
in
Gold
,
and
of
putting
VVits
of
excellent
Sapience
only
in
Bodies
of
exquisite
Beauty
.
Potest

Menean
Lion
▪
Galba
the

,
appeared
an
inform'd
lump
of
stone
,
but
within
had
a
Golden
vein
of
precious
and
shining
VVit
.
Whereupon
M.
Lullius
scoffing
of
him
was
wont
to
say
,
Ingenium

.
Others
again
there
are
,
that
measure
the
grandure
of
the
VVit
by
the
bulk
of
the
Head
;
and
believe
,
that
that
cannot
be
a
great
Intelligence
,
that
hath
not
a
great
Sphere
.
They
comprehend
not
how
a
small
head
becometh
a
womb
able
to
conceive
a
Great
Pallas
:
how
a
Giant-like
Ingenuity
can
comprise
it self
within
the
narrow
neich
of
a
little
Scul
.
They
know
not
how
that
the
Mind
is
the
Center
of
the
Head
,
and
the
Center
doth
not
increase
by
the
bignesse
of
the
Circle
.
The
eye
,
is
it
any
more
than
a
drop
of
Chrystal
?
and
hath
it
not
in
such
smalnesse
,
a
concave
so
capacious
;
that
by
the
gate
of
a
pupil
,
it
receiveth
,
without
confusion
of
it
,
half
a
VVold
.
Parvula
sic
totum
pervisit
pupula
caelum
.
It
often
happens
,
that
as
a
little
Heart
naturally
includes
a
great
Courage
;
so
in
a
Head
of
a
small
bulk
,
a
Mind
of
great
understanding
is
comprised
.
Others
argue
from
the
palure
of
the
face
,
as
from
ashes
;
the
fire
of
a
Spiritely
VVit
;
and
thus
Nazianzen
calleth
Palidness
,
Pulchrum
sublimium
virorum
slorem
.
Many
say
that
by
the
eyes
sparkling
in
the
day
,
and
glittering
in
the
night
,
they
can
tell
which
are
the
true
Palladian
Bats
.
Others
there
are
,
who
in
confused
Characters
seem
to
read
the
Velocity
of
VVits
,
whose
fancies
,
whilst
the
hand
with
the
slight
of
the
Pen
cannot
follow
,
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
it
ill
makes
the
letters
,
cuts
off
the
words
,
and
confounds
the
sense
.
Thus
the
speedest
beasts
,
imprint
the
most
informed
tracks
;
whilst
on
the
contrary
the
slow-moving
Oxe
makes
his
steps
with
patience
,
and
leasurely
formeth
his
tracks
one
by
one
.
But
I
undertook
not
to
relate
,
much
lesse
to
refute
all
the
symptoms
from
which
VVit
is
argued
by
these
subtle
Diviners
:
the
sholders
,
and
neck
dry
,
and
lean
;
the
temper
of
the
●lesh
morbidly
moulded
;
the
fore-head
ample
,
the
skin
thin
and
delicate
;
the
voice
in
a
mean
between
loud
,
and
low
;
the
hair
neither
litherly
dangling
,
nor
,
(
as
dry
,
)
curled
and
crisped
;
the
hands
lean
;
the
legs
small
;
the
corporature
indifferent
;
the
colour
amiable
;
and
I
know
not
what
.
These
are
for
the
most
part
dubious
conjectures
,
and
fallacious
prospectives
,
yea
,
they
equally
agree
to
contrary
,
not
to
say
different
principles
.
At
least
it
is
certain
,
that
either
there
must
concurre
to
their
establishment
,
experience
,
with
the
observation
of
Ingenious
Men
;
or
Reason
,
drawn
from
the
temper
,
and
disposition
of
Organs
,
that
are
of
use
to
the
Imaginative
Faculty
,
and
the
Mind
:
and
experience
evinceth
it
,
to
him
that
is
inquisitive
,
that
of
any
three
of
them
two
proves
false
;
and
that
the
temper
of
the
Internal
Instruments
hath
not
such
conexion
with
these
external
Signes
,
that
one
may
collect
,
thence
ordinary
,
much
lesse
infallible
arguments
.

and
supposing
its
use
wholly
independent
from
the
instruments
of
the
Body
;
do
deny
,
that
we
may
argue
from
any
sensible
appearance
,
the
quality
,
or
quantity
of
others
Wit
.
There
is
,
say
they
,
difference
amongst
Souls
,
not
only
in
their
proper
Essence
,
but
also
in
the
degrees
of
accidental
Excellence
;
which
makes
them
one
more
or
lesse
perfect
than
another
.
This
is
no
lesse
an
honour
to
the
great
Artist
that
made
them
,
and
an
ornament
to
the
World
,
than
that
variety
of
features
which
is
in
the
face
of
Man
(
though
it
be
composed
of
few
members
;
)
wherein
to
find
two
a-like
is
wonderful
;
two
stamped
with
the
same
impression
,
almost
impossible
,
The
diversity
of
Wits
arising
in
this
manner
from
the
diverse
degrees
of
perfection
of
Souls
,
to
what
end
seek
they
Indices
thereof
from
the
Body
;
as
if
(
according
to
the
errour
of
that
great
Proto-Physician
)
the
Soul
were
no
other
,
than
a
Consonance
of
qualities
,
and
a
Harmony
of
humours
?
To
argue
from
the
voice
,
from
the
Complexion
,
from
the
features
,
accutenesse
of
Wit
;
is
,
as
from
the
pencils
,
to
divine
the
excellency
of
the
Art
of
a
great
Apelles
;
or
from
the
Sword
the
valour
of
the
arm
of
a
magnanimous
Scanderbeg
.

The

These
are
true
arguments
of
Art
&
Ability
.
The
Ingenuity
likewise
is
known
by
no
other
means
than
by
the
actions
;
other
tracks
it
leaves
not
by
which
to
guesse
of
its
form
;
other
shadow
it
hath
not
by
which
to
collect
,
its
proportion
.
And
if
that
be
not
so
.
Observe
the
diversity
of
Wits
,
which
as
if
they
were
Stars
of
different
Genius
and
Nature
,
variously
incline
;
and
then
,
if
there
be
any
,
you
may
find
in
the
temper
of
the
body
,
the
principle
whence
such
difference
is
derived
.
Some
are
so
nimble
witted
,
that
they
seem
to
have
fancies
composed
of
light
;
to
whom
the
setting
out
,
the
running
,
and
arriving
are
all
but
one
moment
.
Rapid
Eagles
,
to
whom
their
Masters
no
sooner
show
a
Lure
,
then
they
reach
unto
it
,
so
that
as
Plato
said
of
his
Aristotle
,
they
have
an
Art
to
accellerate
their
wings
,
that
they
may
slye
not
by
force
,
but
by
choice
.
Others
on
the
contrary
,
as
Zenocrates
,
a
Mercury
without
wings
both
in
head
and
feet
,
are
so
slow
,
and
dull
,
that
they
must
have
spurs
to
make
them
run
,
nay
,
go
.
They
are
Stars
,
but
of
that
Constellation
called
the
Beare
,
to
whom
the
vicinity
of
the
Pole
makes
the
motion
very
slow
,
and
the
revolution
tedious
,
as
if
they
also
were
subject
to
the
Septentrion
frosts
.
Some
have
an
Understanding
,
like
impressions
made
upon
the
water
,
that
soon
receive
the
stamp
and
as
soon
also
lose
it
:
That
are
as
swift
in
forgetting
,
as
they
were
in
getting
.
Wits
resembling
either
Doves
,
Quarum
omnis
inclinatio
in
colores
novos
transit
;
Contrariwise
,
in
others
the
Understanding
is
a
graving
in
Porphyre
and
Marble
.
An
image
is
not
form'd
in
them
without
the
force
of
Chizels
,
&
with
great
patience
;
but
then
it
is
of
such
duration
,
that
neither
Oblivion
,
nor
Time
can
e-face
it
.
Cleanthes
was
one
of
these
,
call'd
in
derision
the
Hercules
of
the
Schools
,
because
his
becomming
a
Phylosopher
was
as
laborious
to
his
mind
as
it
was
to
the
body
of
the
other
to
make
himself
a
Demi-god
.
There
are
them
,
that
when
Children
,
are
all
Spirit
,
when
Men
all
Dregs
.
In
their
first
years
,
the
Nightingales
seem
to
sing
on
their
mouth
,
as
on
that
of
the
Child
Stesichorus
;
grown
bigger
they
roare
like
Oxen.
Like
to
that
Ancient
Hermogenes
,
that
was
,
Senex
inter
pueros
,
inter
senes
puer
.
In
others
,
on
the
contrary
,
the
Wit
gradually
meliorateth
with
years
:
whereupon
those
that
before
appeared
steril
truncks
,
their
buds
opening
by
little
and
little
,
they
send
forth
branches
of
large
extent
,
and
unfold
some
leaves
,
&
in
the
end
are
ladē
with
more
fruit
,
than
others
have
leaves
.
Observe
Baldo
a
Jurist
,
that
stood
(
to
speak
so
)
as
the
Palm
,
a
hundred
years
before
he
bore
any
fruit
,
whereupon
arose
the
scoffe
which
he
had
so
o●t
laid
in
his
dish
,
being
a
Scholar
;
Doctor
eris
Balde
,
sed
praeterito
saeculo
.
What
shall
we
say
of
those
,
that
for
every
Science
have
a
VVit
equally
perfect
;
that
as
the
light
to
all
Colours
,
so
their
mind
are
adapted
to
all
matters
;
servile
,
or
sublime
;
of
ample
,
or
profound
dimension
?
Few
such
there
be
,
yet
some
there
are
;
and
on
them
we
may
bestow
for
a
perfect
Panegyrick
,
that
great
applause
,
—
Sparguntur
in
omnes
,
Blessed
VVits
,
Finally
,
in
whatsoever
kind
of
Learning
you
will
,
they
are
able
to
say
as
Vertumnus
amongst
the
Poets
,
Opportuna
mea
est
cuncta
natura
figuris
,
Again
,
others
there
are
so
determinately
intent
upon
one
only
kind
of
study
,
and
that
not
by
election
of
the
Will
,
but
by
instinct
of
Genius
,
that
to
take
them
from
,
that
is
to
take
their
VVits
quite
from
them
.
He
that
will
see
their
excellency
,
must
behold
them
from
one
point
,
namely
that
,
where
all
the
lines
of
their
knowledge
Concenter
;
otherwise
they
have
nothing
considerable
,
and
indeed
seem
Monstrous
.
These
,
and
many
more
are
the
Characters
and
different
forms
,
whence
VVits
come
to
be
so
various
in
Genius
,
and
Tallent
among
themselves
.
Now
what
temper
of
brain
,
what
harmony
of
qualities
,
what
disposition
of
humours
,
doth
so
obliege
the
Soul
;
that
it
should
be
in
some
in
the
things
of
the
Mind
blockish
;
and
in
the
more
simple
and
material
most
active
;
in
others
,
in
the
abstracts
excellent
,
in
the
practicks
unprofitable
:
That
it
should
be
disposed
,
here
to
one
,
there
to
another
,
here
to
all
,
there
to
no
act
of
Reason
,
or
labour
of
VVit
?
If
the
actions
of
the
intelligent
Soul
are
done
by
her-self
,
and
rest
in
her
;
what
can
the
Body
do
,
howsoever
tempered
;
or
the
Brain
,
in
what
manner
soever
disposed
?
and
if
they
can
do
nothing
;
it
remains
,
that
the
diversity
of
Wits
,
ariseth
from
different
perfections
of
the
Soul
,
not
various
dispositions
of
the
Body
.
But
if
this
be
so
,
if
the
mind
depend
not
on
the
Organs
for
operation
,
nor
on
the
Humours
for
well
operating
;
whence
is
it
,
that
some
,
either
by
an
accidental
blow
on
the
head
,
or
by
a
strange
disease
,
have
suddenly
or
gradually
lost
their
Memory
,
and
impair'd
their
Wit
;
so
that
their
brain
,
like
the
opened
Box
of
Pandora
,
or
the
vented
Box
of
Ulysses
,
is
for
ever
after
without
Spirit
,
and
Judgment
?
How
cometh
from
the
heat
of
the
Brain
,
the
distemper
of
the
Discoursive
Faculty
;
the
rebolliment
of
the
Species
,
the
disorder
of
the
Reason
,
Frenzy
,
and
Madnesse
?
Why
doth
he
,
(
that
when
a
Child
was
ingenious
,
and
apt
growing
with
yeares
)
,
become
grosse
of
mind
,
and
so
much
the
more
stupid
,
by
how
much
the
more
before
he
was
spritely
?
Yet
the
Soul
is
it self
.
VVho
then
implumes
the
VVit
,
who
obtuseth
the
Fancy
,
who
alters
the
Soul
from
what
once
she
was
?
But
Countries
,
some
abound
with
accurate
Wits
,
as
in
Attica
,
that
famous
Athens
,
the
Nest
,
and
Nurse
of
the
Sciences
;
and
in
regard
of
the
walls
that
environ
it
,
all
appeared
a
Temple
of
Pallas
,
an
Academy
of
Learned
Men
:
On
the
contrary
Beaetia
is
inhabited
,
I
will
not
say
by
living
Men
,
but
by
dead
Statues
;
in
whom
Reason
,
amongst
others
sheweth
no
greater
discourse
,
than
the
Zophiti
motion
amongst
other
Animals
.
Do
we
not
see
so
great
difference
of
Wits
between
City
and
City
,
Egyptian
Alexandria
,
seem
to
have
designed
their
first
foundation
with
Meals
;
others
,
placed
upon
the
summity
of
Olympus
;
have
their
feet
higher
,
than
others
carry
their
heads
?
And
whence
is
this
,
if
neither
Heaven
,
nor
Air
,
nor
Climate
,
nor
Spirits
,
nor
Humours
,
tempered
by
them
,
have
the
least
influence
in
those
Actions
:
which
being
proper
to
the
Soul
,
as
the
principle
of
discourse
;
by
her
only
are
produced
,
and
in
her
alone
are
received
?
It
is
then
a
more
approved
,
and
I
am
sure
a
more
received
opinion
,
that
the
Temperament
of
the
Complexion
,
whence
the
state
of
the
Body
proceeds
,
serveth
as
well
to
the
Wit
,
and
to
the
diversity
of
its
Genius
;
as
the
tuning
of
the
strings
to
the
melody
of
a
Lute
;
and
diverse
Consorts
of
Voices
,
Intervals
,
Notes
,
measures
of
Tunes
,
Orders
,
and
dispositions
of
Unisons
,
&
Semitones
,
proper
,
and
mixt
,
to
the
diverse
Harmonies
Frigian
,
Dorick
,
Lydian
;
whence
proceeds
the
various
Musick
,
Grave
,
Lascivious
,
Martial
,
Melancholy
,
and
Merry
.
Consider
the
various
(
we
will
say
)
Tones
,
This
seemeth
universally
true
,
that
the
works
of
the
VVit
,
participating
an
I
know
not
what
of
fiery
,
as
the
velocious
motion
of
the
thoughts
,
and
the
nature
of
the
ignean
spirits
that
serve
it
demonstrate
;
those
humours
that
partake
most
of
fiery
,
are
most
capable
of
serving
it
:
even
as
on
the
contrary
,
Flegme
rendereth
it
stupid
,
and
brings
it
as
it
were
into
a
somniferous
Lethargy
.
Therefore
Choler
which
is
hot
in
excesse
,
&
withall
dry
,
is
wholly
proper
to
the
Wit
.
But
Melancholy
(
although
it
doth
not
so
seem
)
is
more
apposit
thā
that
;
not
that
gross
and
loathsome
humour
,
which
more
symbolizeth
with
Flegme
in
frigidity
,
than
with
Choler
in
siccity
;
but
a
certain
(
as
it
were
)
adust
part
of
the
yellow
Choler
,
cold
and
dry
by
nature
,
as
the
earth
,
but
,
if
it
be
rarified
and
enkindled
,
so
capable
to
conceive
fire
(
as
the
exhalations
raised
by
the
Sun
,
which
yet
are
a
cold
and
dry
earth
)
and
a
fire
so
vehement
,
and
forceable
,
that
it
partaketh
of
lightning
in
strength
,
though
it
be
more
durable
and
constant
.
And
hence
proceedeth
Madness
,
and
that
Grave
Frensy
of
the
mind
that
wholly
transports
it
besides
it self
,
and
wholly
concenters
it
in
it self
;
that
gives
it
velocious
motions
,
and
holds
it
stedfast
,
and
fixed
;
wholly
dispersing
,
and
wholly
contracting
the
thoughts
.
Nor
may
therebe
wanting
Bloud
and
Flegme
,
the
one
for
aliment
to
the
spirits
,
the
other
for
temperament
;
that
so
the
too
great
drinesse
make
not
barren
,
or
the
too
great
heat
distemper
not
the
organ
and
cause
more
smoak
than
light
.
The
predominant
ought
therefore
to
be
fiery
,
the
rest
,
of
a
mixture
in
proportion
to
the
degrees
of
this
.
And
this
,
if
I
guesse
not
a
misse
,
is
the
so
famous
Dry
Light
of
Heraclitus
;
That
Igneus
vigor
,
&
caelestis
origo
;
that
where
it
hath
the
flame
more
bright
,
and
in
more
refined
humours
lesse
thick
and
muddy
,
there
it
s
a
thing
more
like
a
Heavenly
Intelligence
than
a
terrene
Wit.
.
This
is
that
so
difficult
Electrum
of
VVit
and
Judgment
together
.
The
VVit
the
Mercury
,
all
instability
&
motion
;
the
Judgment
,
the
Chymical
Medicine
that
fixeth
it
:
The
VVit
the
Lion
,
and
the
Dolphin
all
fury
,
all
speed
;
the
Judgment
,
the
Bridle
,
and
Anchor
,
that
restrains
the
fury
,
that
retards
its
motion
:
The
Wit
the
Sail
,
the
Judgment
the
Ballast
:
That
the
Wing
,
this
the
Clog
:
That
the
young
face
of
Janus
,
this
the
old
,
and
gray
.
But
because
the
temper
of
the
humours
for
the
service
of
the
mind
,
is
not
one
indivisible
one
,
from
their
varieties
take
rice
the
abilities
,
Genuis's
,
and
humours
,
which
incline
them
to
various
kinds
of
studies
.
Because
that
in
some
studies
there
is
required
more
patience
,
and
,
as
we
are
wont
to
say
,
more
Flegm
;
in
others
,
greater
promptnesse
of
mind
;
in
others
,
imaginations
more
firm
;
els-where
discourse
more
abstract
:
here
great
memory
,
their
capacity
of
comprehending
as
it
were
in
one
sole
act
the
cognition
of
many
objects
;
and
discerning
their
dependency
without
confounding
them
;
according
as
the
humours
and
their
qualities
,
are
variously
tuned
and
harmoniz'd
together
:
whence
more
or
lesse
according
to
the
predominancy
of
hot
,
and
cold
,
dry
and
moist
,
we
have
abilities
more
apt
to
one
than
to
another
Science
;
according
to
the
temper
of
the
qualities
,
that
the
instruments
require
,
for
the
better
disposing
them
to
operation
.
And
this
ability
of
power
,
well
disposed
towards
such
sorts
of
objects
,
is
the
foundation
of
that
,
which
they
call
Genius
.
Because
that
there
being
in
every
one
by
natural
instinct
an
in-nate
desire
of
knowing
;
and
Nature
not
erring
,
but
being
conscious
of
that
,
which
she
is
to
apply
us
to
the
desire
of
,
as
our
Good
:
(
a
thing
,
which
to
obtein
we
have
not
power
sufficient
:
)
thence
it
is
,
that
she
carrieth
us
to
the
desire
of
that
,
to
attein
which
we
are
sufficently
disposed
.
The
proportion
therefore
of
the
power
to
the
object
,
and
the
desire
which
we
have
to
know
;
of
which
one
applyeth
,
the
other
determineth
;
causeth
that
sympathy
,
which
we
may
call
the
Form
of
the
Genius
.
So
,
that
it
is
not
the
disposition
,
figure
,
colour
,
nor
masse
of
the
members
of
the
body
that
we
should
observe
as
immediate
,
or
true
testimonies
of
the
Wit
,
in
applying
any
to
Learning
.
But
from
the
Acts
,
the
most
natural
testimonies
of
the
Powers
,
we
may
argue
their
internal
Temper
,
thereby
to
find
to
which
of
the
Arts
it
hath
most
agreeable
proportion
.
Thus
,
since
the
honey
cannot
be
fetch
from
its
Sourse
,
which
is
the
Stars
(
as
Pliny
speaks
)
at
least
let
them
strive
to
make
it
as
pure
as
they
can
;
by
working
it
out
of
those
slowers
,
which
most
resemble
them
in
nature
;
Ibi
enim
optimus
semper
(
ros
mellis
)
ubi
optimorum
doliolis
florum
conditur
.
Since
Science
can
be
enjoyed
no
otherwise
than
as
faln
from
Heaven
into
these
terene
Bodies
;
at
least-wise
,
let
them
apply
themselves
to
gather
it
of
those
,
which
with
tempers
like
to
Heaven
,
fiery
,
and
subtle
,
but
withal
stable
,
and
regular
,
most
symbolize
and
agree
with
it
.
AMBITION
.
The
folly
of
many
who
desirous
to
seem
Learned
,
doe
publish
themselves
in
Print
to
be
Ignorant
.
THat
insatiate
,
I
will
not
say
desire
,
but
madnesse
,
which
we
have
of
publishing
our selves
to
the
World
for
men
of
Learning
,
I
could
wish
,
that
it
would
whet
the
Wit
,
as
well
as
it
sharpens
the
Pen
;
that
so
the
Sciences
might
increase
in
weight
,
as
Books
increase
in
number
.
Scarce
have
we
got
in
the
nest
of
a
School
the
down
of
the
first
feathers
upon
the
brain
,
but
we
already
think
our selves
,
not
only
Eagles
,
but
Mercuries
with
Wings
on
our
heads
.
Scarce
is
there
enkindled
in
us
a
spark
of
Wit
,
but
presently
we
desire
in
Print
to
shine
as
Suns
,
and
make
our selves
,
with
a
strange
Ambition
,
Masters
before
we
be
compleatly
Scholars
.
Every
thought
that
the
mind
conceives
,
we
think
worthy
of
the
light
;
and
although
many
times
it
is
no
more
than
Ridiculus
Mus
,
we
by
all
means
will
call
the
Press
,
to
be
Lucina
;
and
collect
it
,
and
keep
it
not
only
alive
but
immortal
.
The
Gnats
,
Moths
and
Flyes
of
our
own
brains
,
seem
to
us
worthy
to
be
embalmed
,
as
that
Bee
,
in
Electer
,
and
exposed
to
the
sight
,
and
admiration
of
the
World
.
Thus
—
Tenet
insanibile
multos
Scribendi
cacoethes
,
Happy
would
Learning
be
,
if
Books
also
should
have
their
Winter
,
and
the
leaves
of
the
greatest
part
of
them
should
fall
,
as
the
leaves
of
trees
fall
every
year
after
Autumn
.
The
World
would
be
thereby
so
much
the
more
wise
by
how
much
fewer
the
number
would
be
of
the
Masters
of
Errours
,
and
Oracles
of
Lies
.
How
many
Books
come
to
hand
which
bear
in
their
frontispices
Inscriptiones
propter
quas
vadimonium
deseri
possit
?
Quid
dignum
tanto
feret
hic
promissor
hiatu
?
or
that
scoffe
with
which
Diogenes
mocked
at
the
great
Gate
of
a
little
City
,
saying
:
Shut
this
gate
or
else
the
Town
will
run
out
at
it
,
and
leave
you
without
house
or
home
.
The
eye
,
Si
qua
illic
poma

(
saith
Tertullian
)
oculis
tenus
caeterum
conacta
cinerescunt
.
A
Learned
Man
doth
indeed
deserve
great
compassiō
,
that
setting
himself
earnestly
to
one
of
these
Books
,
which
hath
nothing
but
Perspective
,
and
appearance
,
findeth
that
to
be
a
painted
Cloud
,
which
he
believed
to
be
a
rich
Juno
;
and
instead
of
extracting
thence
the
treasures
which
he
expected
,
he
sees
,
that
the
Book
costs
him
more
in
regard
of
the
time
he
unprofitably
spends
in
reading
it
,
than
it
stood
him
in
,
by
reason
of
the
money
he
gave
for
it
.
He
sisheth
therein
day
,
and
night
,
till
that
with
a
Nihil
coepimus
he
casts
it
away
.
He
soares
with
a
curious
Wit
,
to
the
apparance
of
some
singular
conceit
,
of
some
Master-piece
of
Art
;
but
as
the
Birds
that
slew
to
the
painted
Grapes
of
Zeuxis
;
O!
to
how
many
Writers
,
which
more
than
once
have
made
the
Presse
to
groan
,
may
we
repeat
that
Verse
of
Ausonius
,
Utiliùs
dormire
●uit
,
quàm
perdere
somnum
Atque
oleum
.
—
The
wretches
have
watched
many
a
night
to
compasse
a
Book
,
which
shall
lay
a
sleep
all
that
read
it
,
if
their
resentments
of
Choler
against
the
Author
keep
them
not
awake
.
To
how
many
Books
,
under
the
Title
they
bear
in
their
Frontispiece
,
may
we
write
the
name
with
which
Zuazo
,
Nolite
cogitare
quid
edatis
.
1
Some
think
they
do
nothing
if
they
make
only
one
Book
.
They
alone
would
make
a
Library
.
Hinc
,
A
hundred
Volumnes
,
of
a
thousand
pages
a
piece
,
Children
of
one
sole
VVit
,
Births
of
one
only
Mind
;
VVorks
of
one
only
Pen
;
this
makes
one
go
high
and
stately
:
And
yet
the
Glory
and
Fame
is
not
to
be
given
to
the
number
but
to
the
worth
of
Books
.
For
how
many
times
in
a
River
of
words
,
there
is
not
a
drop
of
VVit
;
in
a
Sea
of
Ink
,
there
is
not
one
Pearl
;
in
a
Forest
of
Paper
there
is
not
one
branch
of
Gold
?
All
the
VVork
,
be
it
a
hundred
Volumns
,
may
say
as
the
Echo
of
Ausonius
:
Aëris
,
&
linguae
sum
silia
,
mater
inanis
Judicii
,
linguam
quae
sine
mente
gero
.
So
that
its
a
rare
miracle
of
patience
in
the
Reader
,
if
slinging
away
the
Book
,
he
say
not
to
the
Author
of
it
,
that
of
Martial
;
—
Vis
garrule
,
Books
,
Domi●ius
Piso
,
cited
by
Pliny
,
Thesaurus
oportet
esse
,
non
libros
.
Every
word
should
be
a
Pearl
,
every
leaf
a
Jewel
:
so
that
he
which
reads
them
,
should
in
one
hour
enrich
himself
,
with
that
,
which
we
have
been
ten
years
in
gathering
.
Aelas
!
what
is
become
of
that
precious
custome
,
and
fortunate
age
,
when
the
Honey
of
the
Sciences
was
put
into
the
Wax
,
on
which
it
was
then
the
custome
to
write
with
a
Style
?
with
how
much
the
slower
hand
the
words
were
indented
by
the
style
,
the
tenacity
of
the
wax
retarding
it
;
the
more
were
they
fixed
on
the
thoughts
,
and
came
to
be
better
examined
.
Now
a-dayes
the
Pen
carries
the
words
in
a
slight
from
the
hand
,
and
the
conceits
from
the
head
;
and
those
and
these
the
lighter
by
how
much
the
lesse
weighed
.
That
ostentatious
Souldier
in
the
Comick
,
which
said
Ego
hanc
manchaeram
mihi
consolari
volo
,
Lively
expresseth
the
itch
many
have
to
Write
,
and
write
much
,
as
it
were
to
comfort
their
Pens
,
that
complain
they
stand
Idle
in
their
Ink-horns
;
without
wearing
blunt
with
writing
at
the
least
one
Book
.
It
is
not
the
muchnesse
,
but
the
goodness
that
is
valued
.
Books
are
the
Souls
,
whose
grandure
is
not
measured
by
the
bulk
of
the
body
,
but
by
the
nobility
of
the
Spirit
.
And
most
true
is
the
Aphorism
of
great
Augustine
In
iis
quae
non
mole
magna
a
sunt
,
If
you
were
to
speak
to
an
assembly
of
a
hundred
of
the
most
ingenious
,
and
Learned
Men
of
the
World
,
would
you
say
what
came
next
to
the
tongues
end
,
without
deliberation
,
without
refining
,
and
many
times
without
substance
,
and
order
?
Or
rather
would
you
not
study
to
speak
not
onely
Roses
,
as
they
said
of
old
,
but
Pearls
and
Gold
?
and
do
not
you
know
that
by
the
Presse
you
speak
not
to
a
hundred
or
a
thousand
,
but
to
all
the
Wisemen
in
the
World
that
will
read
,
and
hear
you
?
Therefore
,
why
do
you
not
as
Phocion
,
that
being
asked
why
he
stood
upon
a
time
so
profoundly
pensive
,
answered
;
That
being
to
speak
in
publick
to
the
Athenians
,
he
was
picking
his
words
one
by
one
,
and
examining
them
,
if
there
was
any
that
he
should
omit
?
Laudato
ingentia
rura
,
saith
the
Poet
,
Exiguum
colito
.
Honour
the
Gygantical
Volumnes
of
others
;
but
strive
not
so
much
to
imitate
them
in
bulk
,
as
to
surpasse
them
in
worth
.
Write
one
only
good
one
,
but
one
that
may
be
more
worth
than
many
.
One
,
but
one
of
which
you
may
say
as
Ceres
of
her
onely
Daughter
,
Numeri
damnum
Proserpi●a
pensat
.
2
The
other
reason
of
the
unfortunate
success
of
Books
,
is
,
the
undertaking
to
handle
a
matter
,
and
wanting
a
Wit
proportionable
.
I
chanced
to
write
an
Octave
,
or
Epigram
,
and
presently
I
conceited
that
they
called
them
Heroick
Poems
,
or
Tragoedies
.
Non
ideo
debet
pelago
se
credere
,
That
Hercules
doth
enterprize
the
conquest
of
the
Heavens
,
and
desire
to
do
it
by
his
strength
never
wonder
:
Et
posse
caelum
viribus
vinci
suis
Didicit
ferendo
.
—
Do
ye
likewise
measure
the
strength
of
your
shoulders
,
by
the
weight
of
the
burden
,
and
where
you
can
say
,
Par
oner●
cervix
,
take
up
the
same
,
and
go
on
.
Prudentia
hominis
est
,
saith
St.
Jerome
,
nosse
mensuram
suam
,
nec
imperitiae
suae
●orbem
testem
facere
.
Yee
should
unite
Argus
and
Briareus
,
so
that
ye
should
not
have
a
hundred
hands
ready
to
write
,
if
ye
have
not
also
in
the
Intellect
,
an
hundred
eyes
open
to
understand
.
Let
not
a
spacious
field
of
noble
Argument
so
transport
and
hurry
your
Spirits
,
that
the
desire
of
running
through
it
,
make
you
forget
that
you
have
neither
wings
nor
ability
to
doe
it
.
Vale
your
too
venturous
plumes
,
that
would
sooner
make
you
fall
than
flie
,
and
do
.
Like
to
the
un-slegg'd
Stork
,
But
of
this
I
am
to
speak
upon
another
accasion
by
and
by
.
3
The
third
cause
why
there
is
more
abortives
than
births
,
is
from
the
impatient
desire
to
bring
them
forth
,
before
they
be
perfectly
formed
.
They
hear
not
the
precept
of
Horace
Nonnunque
prematur
in
annum
,
It
is
no
wonder
if
Mushrums
that
grow
up
in
one
hour
,
rot
in
the
next
;
and
our
works
prove
,
saith
Plato
,
like
those
famous
Gardens
of
Adonis
,
Qui
subito
,
&
die
uno
nati
celerrimè
pereunt
.
Agatharchus
was
a
Painter
,
for
whom
all
the
Cloth
of
Greece
,
all
the
Colours
of
the
East
sufficed
not
.
He
compiled
the
draughts
of
his
Tables
with
more
expedition
,
than
the
Sun
draws
the
Rain-bow
in
the
Clouds
.
But
what
then
?
They
were
pictures
that
hung
in
every
sordid
place
,
and
,
exposed
without
regard
,
lived
no
longer
than
the
men
sown
by
Cadmus
.
On
the
contrary
Zeuxis
,
who
in
bringing
forth
his
works
was
more
tedious
than
the
Elephant
,
and
gave
not
a
touch
with
his
Pencil
,
which
he
recall'd
not
to
a
critical
examination
merited
that
eternity
of
glory
,
for
which
alone
he
painted
.
The
wisest
men
are
ever
the
most
severe
with
the
works
of
their
own
Wits
:
knowing
that
they
ought
to
be
not
only
read
but
examined
by
men
of
great
judgment
which
made
them
say
with
young
Plinius
,
Nil
est
curae
meae
satis
.
And
so
much
sufficeth
to
have
said
of
those
,
that
being
but
ill
furnished
with
Wit
,
undertake
to
write
of
things
above
their
capacities
.
Now
I
ought
not
to
omit
certain
others
,
which
misusing
the
Wit
wherein
they
are
rich
,
consume
themselves
,
&
spend
their
studies
about
certain
unprofitable
matters
,
Quas
neque
scire
compendium
(
saith
Arnobius
)
neque
ignorare
detrimentum
est
ullum
.
The
unfortunate
pains
of
such
who
study
and
write
matters
wholly
unprofitable
.
ALchymists
are
men
of
more
hardinesse
than
judgment
.
Judgment
indeed
they
have
none
,
albeit
of
the
great
tree
of
folly
,
there
's
in
appearance
perhaps
is
the
goodliest
branch
,
namely
,
that
branch
of
Gold
that
sends
one
to
Hell
sooner
than
to
the
Elyzian
Fields
.
But
they
are
neverthelesse
fortunate
,
for
seeking
,
as
they
say
,
the
Phylosophers
Stone
,
with
the
favour
of
Art
they
finally
end
it
,
and
it
is
that
Ancient
Golden
Poverty
the
true
Lapis
Phylosophorum
,
which
leaving
them
nothing
in
the
World
,
freeth
them
from
the
care
of
keeping
,
and
danger
of
losing
:
both
priviledges
of
the
true
Golden
age
.
They
un-avisedly
pretend
to
fix
Mercury
in
Silver
,
and
perceive
not
that
the
God
of
Thieves
knows
better
how
to
take
away
from
others
,
then
to
impart
of
his
own
.
Ex
nihilo
nihil
sit
.
All
their
hope
is
evapo●ated
and
only
the
dregs
remain
:
Fortune
,
that
stood
upon
a
Ball
of
Glasse
,
that
being
broken
,
is
faln
.
And
from
all
it
is
at
last
concluded
,
That
Gold
grows
not
,
but
only
in
Negotiation
;
and
makes
no
Veines
and
Mines
but
in
Banks
.
I
have
with
two
touches
of
the
Pen
rudely
pourfoil'd
the
equally
foolish
,
and
unfortunate
pains
of
miserable
Alchymists
,
which
with
no
other
gain
,
than
of
a
smoak
that
makes
them
weep
,
spend
all
that
they
have
,
or
are
;
to
the
end
that
in
theirs
you
may
the
better
observe
their
folly
of
as
many
as
being
endow'd
with
a
certain
tallent
of
Wit
,
spend
both
that
,
and
their
time
and
pains
,
(
whereby
they
shorten
their
lives
,
and
limbick
their
brains
)
,
about
the
unprofitable
composure
of
certain
Books
,
whose
contents
serve
only
to
consume
the
time
of
him
that
reads
them
,
as
they
impare
the
health
of
him
that
writes
them
.
I
know
that
Phavorinus
adviseth
,
Ille
ego
suum
nulli
nugarum
laude
secundus
.
VVhat
think
you
of
Aristomachus
,
Seneca
was
offended
with
certain
Phylosophers
of
his
time
,
that
consumed
the
tedious
watches
of
the
night
,
and
the
implacable
disputes
of
the
day
,
about
certain
fooleries
,
meriting
,
I
know
not
whether
more
of
laughter
,
than
lashes
:
Mus

,

O
pueriles

In

Men
are
wont
to
say
that
we
are
twice
Children
,
once
when
we
come
out
of
our
Swathing-clouts
,
and
again
when
in
extream
old
age
we
reassume
childishnesse
:
but

imployes
(
not
to
say
consumeth
)
his

conceited
vanities

Non

To
what
end
shall
we

to

To

Part
of
Fortune
;
in
sine
,
in
despight
of
the
Truth
not
found
out
,
but
stumbled
upon
;
not
by
meanes
of
Art
,
but
only
by
chance
in
one
prediction
of
a
thousand
,
they
are
emboldened
to
maske
a
falshood
,
as
if
it
were
a
thing
credible
;
and
to
perswade
a
thing
credible
as
it
were
true
.
What
doth
this
Profession
merit
,
whose
office
it
is
to
deceive
men
on
Earth
,
and
to
defame
the
Stars
in
Heaven
?
You
may
give
it
the
Caucasus
,
and
Vulture
of
Promotheus
;
if
you
think
,
it
be
a
far
greater
crime
,
to
make
Heaven
a
lyar
,
the
Planets
deceivers
,
and
the
Stars
malevolent
;
than
to
take
from
the
Wheel
of
the
Suns
Chariot
,
a
spark
of
fire
,
a
beam
of
light
;
therewith
to
infuse
light
into
the
dead
Statues
of
Epimetheus
,
and
to
transfuse
Soul
and
Sense
into
their
breasts
.
But
for
my
part
,
because
I
will
not
passe
judgment
to
others
prejudice
;
I
would
remit
them
to
the
Tribunal
of
that
brave
Emperor
Alexander
Severus
,
who
punished
Turinus
his
Favorite
,
for
selling
the
Favors
of
his
Master
with
Falacious
Promises
:
Condemning
him
to
be
stifled
to
death
with
Smoak
,
the
Trumpets
all
the
while
proclaining
aloud
;
Fumo
puniter
,
qui
vendidit
fumum
.
AVARICE
.
That
he
is
guilty
of
the
Ignorance
of
many
,
who
might
benefit
many
by
the
Presse
,
and
neglects
it
.
THere
are
not
any
men
for
whose
maintenance
the
World
more
unwillingly
Labours
,
and
Nature
takes
pains
,
than
those
,
who
regardlesse
of
others
,
would
live
only
to
themselves
.
These
are
Pilgrims
even
in
their
own
Country
,
and
Solitary
in
the
midst
of
Society
;
These
have
the
countenance
of
men
,
but
are
Beasts
amongst
Men
;
that
deserve
no
more
to
have
been
born
by
others
,
then
they
care
to
live
for
any
but
themselves
.
Amongst
these
,
none
will
scruple
to
enumerate
certain
Avaritious
Wits
,
which
would
bury
the
Golden
Talents
of
Sciences
and
Arts
,
(
with
which
they
are
endowed
)
in
their
Sepulchers
,
rather
than
become
beneficial
to
posterity
by
the
Presss
.
When
,
if
there
was
no
other
inducement
moving
him
thereto
then
the
great
reward
of
that
honoured
Memory
,
with
which
after
death
he
lives
immortally
,
—
An
erit
qui
velle
recuset
Os
opuli
meruisse
,
&
cedro
digna
locutus
Inquere
nec
scombros
metuentia
carmina
nec
thus
?
But
,
there
is
not
only
this
allurement
which
can
,
there
is
stronger
reason
which
should
perswade
him
to
do
it
;
and
it
is
the
publick
interest
,
which
may
not
be
neglected
under
pretence
that
he
is
carelesse
of
his
own
.
So
much
the
more
in
regard
that
Wisedom
is
not
received
from
Heaven
as
a
Gift
,
which
may
be
lost
with
our selves
,
but
as
a
Lone
,
to
be
transmitted
to
our
successors
;
so
that
the
doing
it
is
not
,
in
some
sense
,
so
much
Liberality
,
a●
Justice
:
It
is
to
be
received
,
as
the
Air
receives
the
Light
from
the
Sun
,
to
transmit
it
to
the
Earth
;
and
not
to
retein
it
concealed
from
others
,
and
with
little
profit
to
our selves
.
Therefore
our
solitary
,
pale
,
shriveled
Ancestors
have
in
the
course
of
so
many
ages
spent
the
Vigils
of
slow-pac't
Nights
,
and
consumed
not
so
much
the
hours
of
the
Day
,
as
the
dayes
of
their
Lives
,
to
fetch
with
the
blows
of
hard
Studie
,
from
the
rich
Mines
of
their
Wits
,
golden
Ve●●s
of
truth
,
and
new
discoveries
in
knowledge
;
and
expounding
them
freely
,
have
made
their
private
patrimony
a
publick
inheritance
:
wherefore
then
do
we
,
(
ingrateful
to
our
Predecessors
,
and
envious
to
our
Successors
,
)
avariciously
bury
both
theirs
and
our
own
?
He
that
puts
himself
between
our
Ancestors
,
and
those
that
are
to
come
after
us
;
and
beholds
the
Example
of
the
one
,
and
the
Necessity
of
the
other
:
I
see
not
how
he
can
have
a
heart
to
deny
,
either
imitation
to
those
,
or
assistance
to
these
.
For
if
the
only
beholding
the
dead
Images
of
those
,
who
in
publick
managements
of
Peace
,
and
War
,
have
acquired
the
name
of
Grandees
,
can
do
no
lesse
than
move
the
heart
,
and
involve
the
desires
in
the
like
enterprises
;
in
seeing
in
Books
the
lively
and
breathing
Images
of
the
Wit
of
those
Great
Souls
exprest
to
the
life
,
that
therein
still
survive
,
still
speak
,
still
teach
,
to
the
benefit
of
the
VVorld
;
can
the
rudest
man
choose
but
desire
to
understand
,
and
can
the
intelligible
choose
but
blush
to
keep
that
covetously
concealed
which
others
have
collected
onely
for
Common
Benefit
?
Sume
in
manus
indicem
Philosophorum
.
Yet
saith
Phylo
,
So
that
if
the
Examples
of
our
Ancestors
is
not
sufficient
to
perswade
us
,
let
us
behold
the
Necessity
of
Posterity
,
to
whom
it
is
double
cruelty
to
deny
that
,
which
we
ought
to
bequeath
them
with
Interest
,
and
they
would
receive
with
profit
.
Abolish
this
inviolable
Law
,
which
is
not
written
in
Marble
,
but
imprinted
on
the
heart
of
Man
,
of
bequeathing
our
Goods
aswell
as
our
Love
to
our
Posterity
,
and
what
other
do
you
do
but
destroy
the
VVorld
,
and
make
it
barbarous
,
and
brutish
?
But
if
those
seem
fortunate
,
who
transmit
to
their
Legitimate
Issue
,
ample
yearly
Revenues
,
and
entail
with
the
riches
that
they
have
,
a
happy
Fortune
to
their
Family
;
what
more
precious
and
durable
Inheritance
can
we
leave
them
than
the
Endowments
of
the
mind
,
and
the
golden
Tallents
of
our
own
Wit
?
These
are
Revenues
that
diminish
not
with
use
,
that
consume
not
with
time
;
that
survive
both
publick
&
private
Ruines
:
Are
alwayes
living
,
alwayes
entire
,
alwayes
in
the
same
esteem
,
and
equally
beneficial
.
And
hence
drew
the
second
Pliny
that
forceable
motive
,
wherewith
he
perswades
a
Friend
to
leave
for
publick
benefit
some
fruit
of
his
long
and
tedious
studies
.
Effinge
aliquid
,
But
hear
what
those
sordid
Misers
have
to
say
for
themselves
.
I
am
debtor
to
no
man
for
what
's
my
own
.
Let
others
take
pains
as
I
have
done
;
let
them
find
of
themselves
,
that
,
which
its
unhandsome
to
beg
of
others
.
This
is
pitty
not
rigor
;
love
to
Learning
,
not
hatred
of
the
Learned
;
for
it
breeds
up
Wits
in
slothfulnesse
when
they
find
that
in
others
,
which
they
should
draw
from
themselves
.
Necessity
renders
Ingenious
;
and
makes
him
that
would
be
alwayes
a
Scholar
,
studying
the
labours
of
others
,
to
become
Master
,
inventing
new
of
his
own
.
Thus
we
make
Achillis's
,
giving
them
whole
,
the
bones
of
Lions
,
that
they
may
break
them
,
and
pick
out
the
Marow
:
thus
brave
Swimmers
give
way
to
the
Course
of
the
Stream
where
it
is
most
impetuous
:
because
it
is
not
so
much
Art
as
Necessity
in
such
a
case
that
teachetb
them
to
come
out
.
And
do
not
these
consider
,
that
if
this
should
be
,
Learning
would
alwayes
continue
in
its
infancy
?
If
he
that
spends
many
years
in
study
,
teacheth
no
man
what
he
hath
discovered
;
he
that
comes
after
him
,
when
he
also
hath
been
equally
solicitous
in
seeking
,
and
equally
fortunate
in
finding
,
shall
know
nothing
more
than
the
former
:
and
when
will
they
this
way
advance
Learning
?
Yea
the
knowledge
of
that
which
others
have
found
,
helps
one
to
find
that
which
others
did
not
know
.
Those
will
serve
us
for
Principles
,
which
were
to
others
but
Consequences
,
and
there
we
begin
our
search
where
others
left
seeking
.
Wisedom
is
given
,
It
being
the
true
and
only
death
to
die
without
leaving
an
Issue
wherein
to
live
.
But
if
a
wilful
abortive
makes
the
Mother
a
Homicide
,
Minuti●s
)
parricidium
faciunt
antequam
pariant
;
to
stifle
in
Wisedoms
Womb
that
which
she
(
as
it
were
pregnant
with
our
Conceits
)
conceives
,
to
kill
it
that
it
should
not
be
brought
forth
,
is
not
this
Parricide
?
Is
it
not
homicidii
festinatio
prohibere
nasci
?
Others
their
are
that
defend
themselves
with
years
,
and
excuse
themselves
with
old
age
,
That
being
scarce
able
to
live
themselves
,
how
can
they
toil
for
others
?
To
him
that
hath
done
his
part
in
activity
,
it
is
cruelty
to
deny
him
to
gather
his
wings
into
his
Nest
,
and
to
strike
sail
in
the
Port.
Other
times
,
other
cares
.
The
eyes
inclined
to
the
sleep
of
death
,
more
than
to
the
wakings
of
study
,
can
go
no
farther
without
danger
of
errors
,
and
mistakes
.
But
if
I
misunderstand
not
,
these
are
not
the
words
of
one
that
would
live
out
the
few
years
that
he
wants
of
his
full
time
,
but
of
them
that
would
anticipate
their
death
some
years
before
they
die
:
and
to
die
I
call
the
doing
nothing
but
live
.
M.
Varro
,
the
nearer
he
was
to
his
death
,
because
not
knowing
any
other
life
more
like
a
man
,
than
to
understand
,
he
lengthned
his
life
,
as
he
did
his
study
,
and
said
to
himself
,
Dum
haec
musinamur
pluribus
horis
vivimus
.
Yea
Seneca
that
noble
Wit
,
taking
motives
to
Labour
from
his
Age
;
whence
others
seek
pretences
to
rest
,
in
the
ultimate
years
of
his
not-compleated-life
,
applied
himself
to
investigate
the
occult
secrets
of
Natural
Phylosophy
,
and
therewith
,
as
if
he
was
more
than
himself
,
he
said
with
his
Poet
;
Tollimus
ingentes
animos
,
&
grandia
parvo
Tempore
molimur
.
—
Thereupon
,
as
it
were
pricking
and
spurring
on
the
slothfulnesse
of
his
Old
age
,
Festinemus
,
said
he
,
&

VVho

Take
from
me
the
power
of

,
Let
the
division
of
the
life
of
him
that
professeth
Learning
be
such
as
that
of
the
Ancient
Vestals
of
Rome
,
In
the
first
they
learnt
the
Rites
,
and
Ceremonies
,
as
Scholars
to
the
Eldest
;
In
the
second
they
practised
them
,
as
Companions
of
the
midle
sort
;
In
the
last
they
taught
them
,
as
Mistresses
of
the
Younger
.
Thus
the

usher
in
the
blossomes
,
and
the
blossomes
falling

with
a
happy
end
,
do
knit
in
fruit

that

the

incline
towards
the
grave

bit

scattering
their

In
the
mean-time
,
in
the
midst
of
the
ruines
of
all
the
resisting
&
durable
things
of
the
World
,
how
do
the
Trophees
of
great
Wits
abide
?
In
the
death
of
all
things
,
even
of
the
lifelesse
,
how
live
Books
,
or
rather
how
live
in
Books
their
Fathers
and
Writers
?
Let
the
most
Sapient
Roman
Stoick
say
it
.
Marmora
Messalae
findit
caprificus
,
Well
may
we
call
Metellus
happy
,
who
was
borne
to
his
Sepulcher
upon
the
shoulders
of
his
four
Sons
,
And
oh
!
how
many
times
he
,
who
living
in
his
native
Country
,
either
un-known
,
or
un-regarded
,
so
that
with
much
ado
he
drew
to
himself
the
eyes
of
some
few
,
that
ook't
upon
him
as
a
Man
of
VVit
,
in
his
Books
draws
to
himself
the
hearts
of
a
VVorld
:
Like
as
heretofore
the
famous
Lyre
of
Orpheus
,
that
on
Earth
,
saith
Manilius
,
ravished
the
Trees
,
Stones
,
savag●
Beasts
,
in
Heaven
whether
he
was
translated
,
drew
the
Stars
after
him
.
Tunc

,
VVitnesse
that
most
pleasing
desire
that
any
one
hath
to
know
of
what
semblance
were
the
faces
,
and
what
the
features
of
those
,
who
in
paper
have
stamped
so
goodly
portraitures
of
their
VVits
;
hence
proceeds
the
care
of
delineating
them
,
yea
,
of
counterfeiting
them
,
when
thorow
the
oblivion
of
many
ages
,
their
faces
are
unknowable
:
Non
enim
solum
ex
auro
,
argentove
,
aut
etiam
ex
aere
,
And
not
on●y
so
,
but
as
oft
as
the
dubious
mind
knows
not
how
to
unknit
the
kno●s
of
intricate
difficulties
,
that
wilder
the
thoughts
;
so
oft
with
desire
it
runs
to
covet
to
behold
those
alive
,
which
only
are
able
to
be
Oedipus's
to
their
Aenigma's
.
What
now
?
(
said
he
)
What
News
bringst
thou
?
Is
Homer
risen
from
the
Dead
?
This
alone
was
the
most
welcome
Intelligence
,
that
that
great
Emperor
could
receive
;
which
yet
had
a
Soul
,
and
a
desire
adequate
to
the
Monarchy
of
Infinite
Worlds
.
At
this
day
also
if
we
did
ask
a
great
part
of
the
Wisest
Men
,
what
thing
they
desired
above
the
terms
of
ordinary
,
we
should
hear
them
wish
;
some
,
that
Plato
might
return
to
life
,
and
Aristotle
;
some
,
Hyppocrates
and
Gallen
;
some
Archimedes
and
Ptolomy
;
some
,
Homer
and
Virgil
;
some
Demosthenes
and
Cicero
;
some
,
Livius
and
Zenophon
;
some
,
Ulpian
and
Paulus
;
some
,
Chrysostome
,
and
Augustine
.
Their
lives
,
were
not
(
in
respect
of
the
shortnesse
of
ours
)
so
long
,
but
that
they
were
to
short
for
the
need
the
World
hath
of
them
.
Therefore
the
death
of
those
is
ever
displeasing
who
cannot
die
without
publick
prejudice
,
as
also
they
would
not
have
lived
but
for
publick
benefit
.
Mihi

(
saith
the
Consul
Pliny
very
finely
)

,
These
Suns
of
the
World

rayes
of
whose
sublime
Sapience
,
enliven
the
Sciences
,
illuminate
the
Ages
,
beautifie
all
the
Earth
,
merit
they
not
in
honour
that
place
,
that
the
Light
had
in
the
first
formation
of
things
?
The
Light
was
made
by
God
worthy
of
the
chief
praise
,
that
he
gave
with
his
mouth
to
any
work
of
his
hands
.
And
that
not
so
much
because
it
is
beautiful
in
it self
,
as
because
every
thing
that
it
seeth
,
it
makes
beautiful
;
therefore
,
Tantum
sibi
praejudicatorem
potuit
invenire
,
Vitruvius
say
:
OBSCURITY
.
Ambition
and
Confusion
,
two
principles
of
Obscurity
,
Affected
,
and
Natural
.
WEre
it
not
for
the
Opinion
,
wholly
against
truth
,
which
anciently
has
so
general
credit
with
the
vulgar
:
That
the
fixed
Stars
were
mothers
,
and
keepers
of
Souls
;
and
that
every
one
whilst
he
lived
had
above
in
Heaven
his
,
of
the
first
,
middle
,
or
greatest
magnitude
,
and
splendor
,
adjusted
to
the
degrees
of
Fortune
which
rendered
him
more
or
lesse
considerable
on
earth
.
Certain
Obscure
Souls
,
certain
Chymmerian
Minds
,
whence
would
they
be
able
to
derive
themselves
,
but
only
from
the
nubilous
,
and
duske
Stars
,
that
have
so
much
light
mixed
with
so
much
darknesse
,
that
they
seem
amongst
their
fellows
,
rather
Spots
than
Stars
.
These
are
those
unfortunate
Aethiopian
Soules
,
that
extract
Obscurity
from
the
Sun
,
the
Father
of
Clarity
;
that
learn
confusion
from
Wisdom
,
the
Mother
of
Order
.
From
the
fire
of
the
Sacred
Palace
,
whereby
the
Wits
become
so
much
the
more
luminous
,
by
how
much
the
more
inflamed
,
they
take
only
the
darknesse
,
and
blacknesse
of
Coals
;
and
rejecting
the
pupils
of
the
Eagle
,
for
the
eyes
of
a
Bat
,
esteem
themselves
more
the
Birds
of
Pallas
,
when
they
be
most
Nocturnals
.
In
vain
would
Prudent
Socrates
experiment
his
wonted
conjecture
upon
them
,
that
knowing
,
the
speech
to
be
a
lively
Image
of
the
Mind
,
to
come
to
the
knowledg
of
what
was
in
any
one
,
would
say
to
him
,
Loquere
ut
te
videam
.
Their
speech
,
their
writing
,
is
as
if
one
should
design
in
plano
certain
Monstrous
figures
of
Faces
,
but
so
miscoloured
;
and
of
features
,
but
so
counterfeited
;
that
no
eye
can
discern
in
them
the
lineaments
of
humane
resemblances
,
but
only
looking
through
a
Cylinder
of
polished
steel
,
and
seeing
them
by
reflexion
.
O
,
Ingenuities
,
unfortunately
ingenious
!
Dedalus's
,
contrivers
only
of
Labyrinths
so
crooked
,
so
confused
,
that
they
themselves
can
scarce
find
Clues
,
to
dis-ingage
them
.
But
all
Obscurity
is
not
of
the
self-same
nature
;
not
hath
all
one
only
beginning
and
fountain
.
For
there
is
one
made
by
Art
,
and
another
had
by
Nature
:
This
,
being
the
defect
of
the
Wit
,
that
the
effect
of
Ambition
:
the
one
,
worthy
of
compassion
,
the
other
of
reprehension
.
It
s
a
received
opinion
among
the
vulgar
,
That
all
Obscurity
,
is
an
Argument
of
Wit
,
and
the
mark
of
the
loftinesse
of
a
great
understanding
to
measure
it self
by
it
,
even
as
well
as
heretofore
by
the
nine
hundred
Stadium's
of
shadow
the
Ancients
found
the
height
of
the
Summitie
of
Mount
Atho●
.
That
Nature
hath
given
the
Stars
to
the
obscurity
of
the
night
,
and
Wisedom
to
the
obscurity
of
VVits
.
That
God
himself
in
his
Oracles
is
all
Clouds
;
and
that
the
excessive
Light
in
which
he
dwels
,
in
which
he
is
seen
hath
the
name
of
darknesse
;
because
it
in
such
manner
shews
him
,
that
it
in
the
same
instant
hides
him
.
That
the
style
of
the
VVisest
Ancients
was
no
other
,
whose
sublime
minds
,
whose
high
conceited
VVits
,
as
it
were
mountains
with
steep
tops
,
have
their
heads
still
amidst
the
Mysts
and
Clouds
.
That
their
writings
were
so
much
securer
from
the
Fisher
,
the
more
they
were
obscured
:
that
they
were
so
much
the
abler
to
discover
Carbuncles
,
and
Diamonds
,
the
more
palpable
was
the
darknesse
.
Thus
the
vulgar
deluded
by
a
false
apparance
of
truth
,
always
most
admire
what
they
least
understand
.
The
splendid
,
the
clear
,
though
profound
stream
of
VVit
,
because
they
reach
it
with
their
eye
they
esteem
not
;
one
foot
of
muddy
water
,
because
they
cannot
dive
into
the
depth
of
it
with
their
sight
,
they
judg
to
be
an
abysse
of
VVisdom
.
So
likewise
in
Learning
.
Alba
ligustra
cadunt
,
Vaccinia
nigra
leguntur
.
Thereupon
some
take
through
their
ambition
of
Wit
,
an
affectation
of
Obscurity
,
and
with
the
Art
of
not
making
themselves
understood
,
they
seek
to
make
themselves
adored
.
They
transform
themselves
into
more
shapes
than
Proteus
,
to
get
out
of
the
hands
of
such
as
hold
them
,
that
so
they
may
not
know
what
they
are
.
They
invent
more
Hieroglyphicks
than
Egupt
knew
,
because
therein
they
fancy
a
kernel
of
solid
truth
,
under
a
shell
of
feigned
mystery
.
Every
one
of
their
Periods
is
a
Gordian
knot
,
that
promiseth
an
Empire
to
him
that
unknits
it
.
They
confound
their
words
,
more
then
the
leaves
of
Sybilla
were
disordered
by
the
wind
;
and
leave
credulous
wretches
to
pore
into
their
Oracles
,
and
to
wrest
them
to
senses
,
which
never
came
into
the
Authors
thought
.
Other
times
,
they
expose
their
conceits
,
as
the
Deities
in
a
Theater
,
wrapt
in
a
knot
of
Clouds
.
They
shew
a
small
Sentence
of
some
well
composed
Discourse
,
thereby
to
win
credit
to
the
rest
,
which
is
lost
in
a
croud
of
confused
thoughts
.
The
Reader
of
their
Books
,
one
would
think
was
fishing
for
the
Cuttle
a
most
crafty
Fish
,
which
maliciously
frees
it self
from
the
eye
,
and
hand
of
others
,
muddying
the
clearnesse
of
the
water
,
by
disgorging
up
a
Cloud
of
certain
black
humours
,
of
which
it
is
full
.
Thus
they
with
their
Pens
like
that
Fish
Naturam
juvat
ipsa
dolis
,
Oh!
how
oft
is
there
just
nothing
found
there
where
some
beleive
great
mysteries
to
lye
hid
?
Since
it
is
an
ordinary
custom
with
these
to
cover
that
with
a
veil
,
By
which
means
they
seem
to
be
new
Heraclitus's
(
cui
cognomen
Scoti
non
fecit
orationis
obscuritas
)
if
of
them
also
we
may
say
,
Opus
ibi
esse
Delio
natatore
.
They
contest
with
the
Delphian
Apollo
in
authority
,
&
credit
,
if
like
him
,
Neque
dicant
,
neque
abscondant
,
But
the
other
Obscurity
more
unfortunate
than
faulty
,
is
a
defect
of
nature
not
a
vice
of
the
will
:
And
this
in
some
is
an
effect
of
paucity
and
poverty
of
Wit
,
in
whom
the
formative
virtue
,
as
in
too
narrow
a
womb
,
cannot
unite
without
confounding
,
cannot
place
the
parts
without
misplacing
the
whole
.
In
others
it
is
occasioned
by
too
fervid
a
mind
,
in
whose
fiery
thoughts
,
as
in
sudden
constagrations
,
there
is
much
more
smoak
than
flame
.
These
are
those
VVits
truly
fiery
,
active
and
prompt
of
understanding
;
so
that
in
one
only
cast
of
the
eye
,
(
sparkling
with
most
velocious
thoughts
,
according
to
the
nature
of
lightning
,
)
they
reflect
upon
a
thousand
things
,
they
make
a
thousand
new
discoveries
.
It
would
be
happy
for
them
if
they
could
infuse
gravity
into
their
flame
,
and
put
a
bridle
of
restraint
upon
their
fire
:
but
as
the
●leetest
Beasts
make
the
obscurest
foot-steps
,
so
they
being
wholly
bent
on
the
things
they
see
,
see
nothing
,
of
the
manner
how
to
expresse
that
,
which
the
mind
sometimes
▪
with
most
abstracted
Species
,
as
it
were
in
a
moment
,
understands
:
And
moreover
,
(
being
so
much
lesse
able
to
methodize
,
the
more
fruitful
they
are
of
invention
;
)
they
expose
,
whether
speaking
,
or
writing
,
not
a
Birth
,
but
many
seeds
;
and
they
themselves
being
afterwards
cooled
again
,
and
quiet
,
(
when
the
jugdment
is
more
adapted
to
discern
)
are
not
able
to
reform
that
,
for
which
the
Wit
is
defective
of
both
heat
and
light
.
And
these
are
,
in
my
judgment
the
two
Vicious
Obscurities
,
the
one
the
crime
of
the
ambitious
Genius
,
the
other
the
defect
of
the
poor
,
or
muddy
Wit
.
There
is
a
third
sort
which
they
call
Obscurity
,
and
is
truly
so
,
but
it
is
an
Obscurity
of
the
Wit
of
him
that
doth
not
understand
,
not
of
the
Author
;
who
doth
not
write
or
speak
so
but
that
he
may
be
easily
understood
by
men
of
mean
understandings
.
If
we
discourse
with
certain
principal
universal
Maxims
,
from
whence
as
from
their
true
Principles
we
draw
other
Corolaries
,
till
that
we
descend
to
some
particular
matter
:
which
is
the
noblest
and
sublimest
of
all
other
kindes
of
grave
discourse
:
)
imitating
the
Falcons
,
which
with
great
windings
&
circulations
mount
on
hing
,
frō
whence
to
stoop
to
the
quarry
:
If
we
trace
out
Wisdom
,
with
feigned
,
but
apt
inventions
,
which
like
a
garment
we
so
dispose
and
put
on
,
as
neither
to
discover
what
we
ought
to
conceal
,
not
to
hid
what
we
would
reveal
;
a
custome
which
Sinesius
calleth
,
Pseudo
Vitilitigators
condemn
us
of
Obscurity
,
and
say
that
to
understand
,
&
penetrate
such
things
,
Non
lucernae
spiculo
lumine
,
sed
totius
Solis
lancea
opus
est
;
Never
considering
,
that
our
Writings
want
not
light
,
but
their
eyes
need
Eye-bright
;
in
as
much
as
they
are
like
that
Dunce
Arpastes
in
Seneca
,
who
being
insensibly
become
blind
,
not
doubting
but
that
he
saw
aswel
as
ever
,
ajebat
domum
tenebrosum
esse
.
But
because
,
for
the
remedy
of
that
Obscurity
,
which
is
capable
of
cure
there
cannot
be
better
advice
prescribed
then
to
observe
Distinction
and
Order
,
that
are
the
Father
and
Mother
of
Perspicuity
,
I
have
laid
it
down
in
the
subsequent
Sections
;
howbeit
perhaps
with
too
frequent
trips
of
the
Pen
,
in
regard
of
what
this
matter
requireth
:
yet
is
it
not
besides
the
purpose
,
or
without
profit
;
I
being
to
lay
down
some
advertisements
,
which
from
the
Choice
of
the
argument
even
unto
the
last
Correction
,
seemed
to
me
conducible
to
the
more
orderly
,
easily
,
and
succesfully
Composing
.
That
the
Argument
ought
to
be
elected
adequate
to
the
Wit
of
him
that
handleth
it
.
THe
first
,
and
most
of
all
others
important

;
is
the
invention
of
the
Argument
;
about
which
observe
the
first
Law
of
Horace
,
where
he
adviseth
:
That
if
you
be
a
Pigmy
,
you
should
not
go
to
charge
your
shoulders
with
a
World
,
as
if
you
were
an
Atlas
.
Versate

Quid

If
your
VVit

a
weak
and
ill
tempered
edge
,
you
must
not
attempt
to
work
in
Porphyre

Flint
,
or
Marble

may
be

too
hard

,
that
it
should
make
you
forget
the
weaknesse
of
the
Net
?
Rather
would
you
not
fear
to
take
that
which
otherwise
you
would
be
willing
to
have
;
knowing
,
that
Nets
knit
with
so
small
threed
are
no
more
able
to
catch
a
Fish
so
big
,
than
a
Cob-web
is
to
take
a
Hornet
?
Oh!
how
many
do
like
the
Icarus
in
the
Poets
,
which
neither
was
a
good
Bird
in
the
Air
,
nor
good
Fish
in
the
VVater
;
in
regard
that
flying
he
praecipitated
,
and
swimming
drowned
.
His
unfortunate
Father
,
seeing
him
surpasse
the
bounds
,
he
prescribed
him
as
he
fastened
his
wings
to
his
shoulders
,
followed
him
a-far-off
,
and
cried
,
Ah
simple
,
venturous
Boy
Farfaila
fond
Why
dost
thou
rashly
sore
so
far
beyond
The
flight
I
set
thee
?
why
goest
thou
so
neer
The
scorching
be●ms
of
Sols
consuming
sphere
?
Art
thou
so
foolish
as
to
make
account
Thy
wings
of
wax
can
neer
the
fire
mount
?
Why
Icarus
I
say
!
soft
!
not
so
high
!
So
ho
!
stay
Icarus
,
and
lower
fly
!
But
to
what
purpose
?
if
he
would
preferre
his
pleasure
to
his
perril
,
and
his
eye
to
his
ear
,
Coelique
cupidine
tactus
,
Altius
egit
iter
.
Till
that
the
wax
beginning
by
little
and
little
to
melt
,
and
his
wings
to
moult
,
he
fell
from
Heaven
into
the
Sea
,
and
there
d●ed
.
Just
so
do
they
who
take
their
flight
at
pleasure
,
and
measure
not
the
height
of
the
course
they
take
,
by
the
strength
of
the
wings
that
bear
them
.
There
be
some
Arguments
that
seem
to
have
the
ambition
of
the
Great
Alexander
,
that
would
have
no
Picture
,
Statue
,
or
Image
of
his
face
but
what
should
come
from
the
Pencil
of
Apelles
,
from
the
Gravers
of
Phydias
,
and
from
the
Moulds
of
Lysippus
:
So
they
disdain
the
workmanship
of
any
that
is
not
a
golden
style
:
amongst
all
the
VVits
,
they
admit
only
the
most
sublime
,
as
Jove
of
all
the
earth
only
reserves
to
himself
the
tops
of
Hills
;
and
it
s
with
reason
,
That
to
the
highest
Deity
the
highest
part
of
the
earth
should
be
dedicated
.
That
then
may
be
aptly
said
of
Arguments
or
Theames
,
which
the
Ancient
Sages
said
of
Fortunes
;
that
,
as
in
garments
,
he
hath
not
the
best
that
hath
the
biggest
,
but
he
that
hath
the
fittest
,
and
best
becomming
his
back
.
The
World
hath
never
seen
a
more
admirable
piece
of
Arr
than
the
Sphere
of
the
●ivine
workman
Archimedes
,
who
making
as
it
were
a
Compendium
of
the
World
,
by
Contracting
the
large
,
by
Epitomizing
the
great
,
by
Retarding
the
swift
,
by
Abasing
the
sublime
,
within
the
narrownesse
of
a
Globe
,
knew
how
to
comprehend
it
,
and
not
confound
it
:
and
giving
liberty
to
the
Planets
,
order
to
the
Stars
,
variety
to
the
Motions
,
proportion
to
the
Spaces
,
so
exactly
disposed
all
,
that
if
the
Periods
of
the
great
Heaven
had
been
never
so
disordered
,
one
might
have
turned
them
again
by
the
little
one
of
Archimedes
.
But
so
noble
a
work
,
for
which
Saphires
and
Diamonds
would
have
been
matters
to
sordid
,
did
he
not
make
it
of
Glasse
?
With
the
fragility
of
a
defective
Glasse
,
he
imitated
the
eternity
of
the
incorruptible
substance
of
Heaven
:
nor
did
he
lessen
the
worth
of
the
Work
by
the
inferiour
value
of
the
Matter
.
I
do
not
hereby
pretend
to
teach
,
that
one
should
assume
Vulgar
Theames
:
howbeit
these
are
better
handled
,
than
the
more
select
.
I
only
advise
him
that
is
no
Delius
that
he
should
not
put
himself
to
swim
in
Gulphs
,
but
content
himself
with
fordable
streams
:
him
that
hath
no
Wit
,
or
knowledg
,
Ubi
consistat
,
that
he
goe
not
about
,
as
Archimedes
would
have
done
,
Caelum
,
terramque
movere
,
assuming
matters
of
great
moment
,
and
subjects
of
lofty
intelligence
,
to
which
neither
the
slight
of
the
Wit
or
Pen
can
attein
.
Yea
the
best
part
of
the
discourse
,
is
the
excellency
of
an
Argument
:
and
he
that
is
acquainted
with
Brain-work
knows
by
experience
,
that
the
Ingenious
subject
admirably
sharpens
the
Wit
;
and
it
seems
,
as
if
a
Noble
Theam
infuseth
from
it self
,
thoughts
worth
of
it self
,
out
of
an
ambitious
of
being
Nobly
discussed
;
Crescit
enim
(
saith
Maternus
in
the
Dialogue
of
Tacitus
,
or
rather
of
Quintillian
)
cum
amplitudine
rerum
vis
ingenii
,
nec
quisq●am
claram
,
&
illustrem
●●rationem
efficere
potest
,
nisi
qui
causam
parem
●nvenit
.
And
,
to
say
true
,
upon
a
rugged
and
course
Tele
of
harsh
Canvasse
,
it
would
●hew
il-favoured
to
paint
rich
embroderies
of
Silk
;
and
the
Pearls
and
Gold
would
disdain
to
be
seen
upon
so
base
a
Ground
.
On
the
contrary
,
how
proudly
,
and
with
what
state
(
saith
a
Poet
,
)
do
the
waters
of
Pactolus
and
Tagus
move
,
because
they
run
upon
Golden
sands
.
VVaters
they
seem
not
,
but
Diamonds
,
liquor
lesse
precious
,
not
befitting
so
noble
a
Bottom
.
Let
them
therefore
that
can
worthily
discusse
them
,
choose
Matters
of
sublime
Argument
,
if
they
desire
the
Births
of
Noble
Composures
should
follow
:
otherwise
it
will
succeed
to
them
as
it
did
to
that
Archydamus
King
of
Sparta
,
who
having
taken
to
wise
a
VVoman
of
excessive
small
stature
,
was
deposed
by
the
Ephori
tanquam
non
Reges
,
sed
Regunculos
procreaturus
.
The
sub-division
and
Desection
of
the
whole
Discourse
.
HAving
found
an
Argument
proper
to
him
that
is
to
treat
upon
it
,
and
worthy
of
him
that
is
to
hear
it
,
he
is
to
give
it
some
Method
,
Desecting
,
and
Sub-dividing
it
into
members
;
that
so
with
ingenious
distinction
they
may
comprehend
all
that
they
desire
to
say
of
that
subject
.
And
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
tasks
of
one
that
writeth
.
For
such
as
is
the
proportion
of
the
members
in
the
body
,
such
is
the
Division
of
the
parts
in
Books
;
whereby
they
enjoy
that
beauty
which
comes
from
symetry
,
and
that
persp
cuity
which
proceeds
from
Order
.
Therefore
it
concerns
the
Judgment
to
Ideate
and
figure
in
the
Imagination
the
design
of
all
the
masse
together
,
from
thence
,
as
Love
in
the
Chaos
,
to
distinguish
,
organize
,
methodize
one
by
one
,
and
afterwards
unitedly
to
conjoyn
all
the
parts
.
It
is
indeed
a
great
commendation
of
a
Noble
VVork
,
that
it
variously
revolves
it self
through
many
and
diverse
matters
,
but
with
so
much
union
of
all
the
parts
,
that
looking
one
while
on
the
foot
,
another
on
the
hand
,
now
beholding
the
breast
,
then
the
face
,
still
they
are
one
&
the
same
body
,
still
the
whold
is
understood
in
every
of
its
parts
.
Ne
primo
medium
,
And
this
,
of
all
the
excellencies
of
Heaven
,
is
that
,
which
more
than
all
others
,
renders
it
wonderful
,
that
in
it
the
discord
of
so
many
motions
so
harmonize
,
&
the
wandrings
of
so
many
Stars
are
so
reformed
,
that
there
is
not
only
no
disorder
occasioned
from
their
variety
,
nor
confusion
from
their
multiplicity
;
but
moreover
the
Planets
shew
,
and
as
it
were
teach
one
another
viewing
themselves
with
Sextiles
,
Quadrats
,
Trines
,
Aspects
,
and
opposite
Diameters
:
looks
all
,
wherewith
they
do
not
so
much
glance
at
one
another
,
as
semblably
shew
themselves
to
those
which
behold
them
,
Thus
it
is
,
saith
Manilius
:
Haud
quicquam
in
tanta
magis
est
mirabile
mole
,
For
if
there
be
wanting
in
Composures
the
right
Division
of
the
parts
,
and
with
it
a
good
Method
,
(
as
he
that
hath
made
the
first
Rough-chyzelling
of
a
Statue
of
Marble
lame
and
deficient
,
though
he
afterwards
pollish
it
,
and
exactly
work
it
,
takes
not
away
its
being
a
Monster
so
)
it
shall
be
more
or
lesse
monstrous
.
Nor
boots
it
,
that
a
disorderly
discourse
be
replenished
with
high
speculations
,
and
sublime
fancies
,
with
solid
reasons
,
and
with
Ancient
and
Modern
crudition
,
to
the
end
they
may
seem
,
illustrated
with
so
many
lights
,
and
embellished
with
so
many
ornaments
;
the
Aphorisme
holding
in
such
like
Composures
,
which
Hyppocrates
writes
of
ill-affected
bodies
,
Quò
plus
nutries
eò
magis
laedes
.
It
's
necessary
therefore
wisely
to
imitate
the
Bees
,
The
prepartion
of
the
Matter
,
called
Sylva
.
TO
the
Argument
found
,
to
the
parts
disposed
,
follows
the
composing
:
which
is
at
it
were
to
cover
the
bones
with
flesh
,
and
to
make
a
body
of
a
Sheleton
.
And
here
take
,
to
begin
with
it
,
an
ordinary
errour
of
such
,
who
bringing
to
such
labours
onely
clean
Paper
,
a
Pen
and
his
own
brain
,
would
in
one
and
the
same
instant
Invent
,
Dispose
,
and
Compose
;
attending
at
one
and
the
same
time
to
the
Matter
,
Method
,
and
Manner
;
as
if
he
were
the
Sun
,
that
to
paint
a
Rain-bow
in
a
Cloud
,
without
difference
in
the
Circle
,
without
disorder
in
the
Colours
,
hath
no
more
to
do
but
to
behold
it
,
and
there
withal
to
stretch
forth
the
Pencil
of
a
beam
,
wherewith
in
a
moment
he
designs
and
colours
it
.
These
,
whilst
they
gnaw
their
Pen
,
gaze
on
the
roof
,
and
buzzing
like
Beetles
,
hum
to
themselves
;
putting
down
beginnings
without
conclusions
,
and
find
themselves
at
the
end
of
the
work
in
the
beginning
;
how
seasonably
might
one
whisper
in
their
ear
for
a
jeer
,
and
the
caution
that
common
Axiom
which
saith
,
Ex
nihilo
nihil
:
Ye
pretend
to
rain
down
Gold
from
the
head
,
where
you
have
it
not
in
Mine
;
and
farther
,
that
you
will
mint
it
into
weighty
money
,
and
with
the
impression
of
lawful
Coin
;
thus
in
one
and
the
same
time
you
play
the
Alchymist
,
Assayer
,
Coiner
,
Treasurer
,
Prince
,
every
thing
:
Which
is
the
direct
way
to
do
just
nothing
,
Sylva
rerum
,
He
that
hath
not
in
his
head
a
living
Library
,
collected
with
long
study
from
Stories
Sacred
,
Prophane
,
Natural
,
and
Civil
;
from
Politick
Instructions
;
from
Ancient
Laws
and
Rites
;
from
grave
and
sententious
Sayings
of
Wise
men
;
from
Fables
,
from
Hierogly
phicks
,
from
Proverbs
;
and
that
which
is
more
than
all
,
from
Phylosophy
Natural
,
and
Moral
;
from
the
Mathematicks
;
from
Civil
Law
;
from
Medicine
;
and
as
much
as
is
requisite
from
Theology
:
it
is
requisite
,
that
from
dead
Books
he
borrow
and
collect
that
,
which
shall
suffice
his
occasions
.
It
little
imports
to
have
conceived
a
good
Argument
,
if
when
ye
be
to
bring
it
forth
,
you
have
not
breasts
full
of
milk
to
nourish
it
,
so
that
it
is
forced
to
die
in
your
hands
,
of
pure
famine
.
Stasicrates
,
that
would
engrave
Alexander
,
with
making
him
a
more
than
a
Gigantical
Statue
of
the
Mountain
Athos
,
was
not
aware
,
that
the
City
which
he
designed
to
put
in
one
of
his
hands
,
in
regard
it
had
not
about
it
fields
to
cultivate
,
would
become
unhabitable
.
To
this
Alexander
had
an
eye
more
than
to
any
thing
else
.
Delectus
enim
(
saith
Vitruvius
)
ratione
formae
,
Arabia
deserta
,
no
sooner
doth
it
shoot
up
,
but
it
is
deprived
in
one
instant
both
of
moisture
and
life
.
Therefore
they
do
prudently
,
who
before
they
resolve
upon
an
Argument
,
look
if
there
is
,
or
if
they
have
whence
to
extract
matter
sufficient
to
compleat
it
.
Thus
experienced
Architects
,
saith
St.
Ambrose
,
in
designing
of
all
Fabricks
,
employ
their
first
thoughts
,
in
contriving
how
they
may
bring
in
the
Lights
with
best
convenience
into
every
Room
.
Antequam
fundamentum
ponat
,
unde
lucem
ei
infundat
explorat
;
Therefore
its
needful
to
have
knowledg
of
,
and
acquaintance
with
many
Books
;
and
a
Judgment
of
competent
ability
to
pick
out
,
but
of
greater
maturity
to
apply
the
things
that
one
finds
,
that
so
where
cause
requires
they
may
in
an
ingenious
,
and
singular
manner
,
expresse
that
which
they
have
to
say
.
And
in
this
,
it
s
an
infallible
observation
,
that
every
one
gathers
that
for
himself
,
that
to
his
Genius
(
to
which
alwayes
concurs
the
manner
of
Speaking
)
is
most
apt
,
These
diverse
manners
of
election
,
and
application
,
submit
to
the
Judgment
,
and
the
Judgment
follows
the
Genius
which
every
one
hath
of
speaking
some
in
one
style
,
and
some
in
another
,
suitable
to
the
Idea
of
his
mind
.
Therefore
matters
extracted
from
Books
,
may
be
said
to
be
like
the
dew
,
which
if
it
fall
into
the
shell
of
a
Conchylia
(
according
as
[
*
](A31106-e42050-b)
*
Plin.
li.
9.
c.
35
some
believe
)
is
changed
into
Pearls
,
if
upon
a
rotten
Tree
it
becomes
Toad-stools
.
But
in
uniting
matter
to
form
thereof
a
Book
,
I
hint
in
the
last
place
,
that
it
may
be
of
no
lesse
prejudice
to
have
too
much
,
than
to
have
nothing
.
My
SCHOLAR
ought
not
to
be
so
sparing
in
the
gathering
,
as
if
be
would
that
the
Work
he
is
to
publish
were
more
me●ger
than
an
Aristarchus
,
than
a
Phyletas
,
than
a
living
Skeleton
;
so
that
one
may
count
the
bones
,
and
see
all
the
courses
of
the
veins
,
the
ligatures
of
the
nerves
,
the
dispositions
of
the
muscles
,
the
motions
of
the
arteries
,
and
almost
the
Soul
it self
.
Nor
ought
he
to
be
prodigal
,
as
if
he
were
about
to
form
a
man
so
corpulent
,
that
he
should
seem
rather
a
Botle
than
a
Man
.
He
that
amasseth
together
superfluous
stuffe
,
unlesse
he
be
Magnus
Deus
,
as
the
Ancients
called
Love
,
as
being
the
methodizer
of
Chaos
,
is
not
able
to
dispose
it
,
but
that
in
such
a
crowd
there
will
be
a
confusion
.
Further
more
,
upon
a
superfluous
Collection
,
it
comes
to
passe
that
we
exceedingly
grutch
after
having
cull'd
out
the
most
excellent
and
opposite
things
to
cast
away
the
rest
as
unprofitable
;
which
yet
will
be
far
more
than
those
that
are
pertinent
;
thinking
it
not
the
property
of
a
good
Judgment
,
but
a
propension
to
prodigality
,
to
lose
together
with
so
many
things
,
the
toil
and
time
spent
in
gathering
them
.
By
this
meanes
whilst
all
pleaseth
,
and
the
Author
seeks
a
place
for
every
thing
,
he
stuffs
his
Books
,
as
the
Gluttō
doth
his
belly
more
for
greediness
of
swallowing
,
than
out
of
any
heat
he
hath
to
digest
:
and
so
from
the
abundance
of
corrupt
humours
,
ariseth
the
indisposure
of
the
body
,
the
consumption
of
the
strength
,
palenesse
,
Now
the
Argument
found
,
the
Parts
methodized
,
the
Matter
collected
,
and
ranged
in
order
,
let
him
proceed
to
Composing
.
The
Discouragement
of
those
that
meet
with
difficulties
in
the
beginning
.
IN
every
Art
,
and
Enterprize
,
the
beginning
is
more
difficult
than
all
the
remainder
.
The
first
steps
require
the
greatest
strength
and
constancy
;
after
which
as
having
mounted
the
acclivity
of
a
high
Rock
,
the
way
still
proves
more
smooth
and
easie
.
All
Arts
may
say
of
their
beginnings
,
what
Apollo
,
instructing
Phaëton
,
said
of
his
journey
:
Ardua
prima
via
est
,
So
in
the
gains
of
Merchandize
,
the
hardest
is
to
get
out
of
poverty
;
Pecunia
(
saith
the
Stoick
)
circa
paupertatem
plurimam
moram
habet
,
dum
ex
illa
ereptat
.
Whence
Lampis
,
a
very
rich
Man
,
being
asked
how
of
a
Beggar
that
he
was
,
he
was
become
●o
wealthy
;
My
small
riches
I
got
(
said
he
)
by
watching
a
nights
,
my
great
I
get
now
sleeping
a
dayes
.
I
moyled
more
in
the
beginning
for
a
Farthing
,
than
I
did
afterwards
for
a
Talent
;
nor
did
my
being
now
so
rich
cost
me
any
more
,
than
the
first
pains
I
took
,
to
cease
to
be
poor
.
This
not
being
understood
by
the
unexperienced
in
the
mystery
of
Composing
,
is
the
cause
,
that
encountring
in
the
first
onset
with
sterile
fancies
,
dry
veins
,
and
an
incomprehensive
Wit
,
they
grow
impatient
,
and
either
condemn
themselves
as
unable
to
proceed
,
or
abandon
the
Art
as
too
difficult
to
apprehend
.
They
consider
not
that
one
cannot
immediately
passe
from
Nocturnal
Obscurity
to
Meridian
Clarity
.
There
precede
it
,
the
first
glimmerings
,
that
are
a
small
light
mixt
with
much
obfuscation
;
after
that
the
Dawn
,
lesse
dusky
;
which
also
grows
white
upon
the
edge
of
the
Horizon
;
next
Aurora
,
more
rich
with
light
,
more
adorn'd
with
colours
;
and
lastly
,
the
Sun
;
and
this
,
in
its
first
peeping
above
our
Hemisphere
is
thick
,
vaporous
,
oblique
,
weak
,
and
twinkling
;
but
getting
at
length
above
the
Horizon
(
as
he
that
with
great
trouble
climes
a
pendent
Cliffe
)
by
little
and
little
it
recovers
the
Zenith
point
of
Heaven
.
They
remember
not
that
a
man
must
first
be
a
child
,
and
must
creep
before
he
can
run
;
carrying
his
reeling
,
&
at
everystep-stumbling
body
,
upon
his
feeble
feet
,
and
tender
arms
:
Nor
that
he
is
not
furnished
with
speech
,
till
first
he
hath
been
long
silent
,
and
then
he
attains
a
puling
cry
,
than
a
stuttering
and
stammering
tongue
,
and
halved
and
broken
words
,
crying
with
much
a-do
Dad
,
and
Mam
:
and
at
last
learning
the
syllables
and
words
one
by
one
from
others
mouthes
,
he
repeats
them
as
the
Eccho
piece-meal
,
more
imitating
others
speech
,
than
speaking
.
Great
Men
are
not
made
by
Founding
,
as
the
Statues
of
Brasse
,
(
which
in
one
moment
are
formed
whole
and
entrie
)
but
are
wrought
like
Marbles
,
with
the
point
of
the
Chizzel
by
a
little
,
and
a
little
.
The
Apelles's
,
the
Zeuxis's
,
the
Parrhasius's
,
those
great
Masters
of
Painting
,
of
whose
Pictures
it
could
not
be
said
,
that
they
wanted
Souls
to
seem
living
,
for
that
they
knew
how
to
appear
a
live
even
without
Souls
;
when
they
begun
to
handle
their
Pencils
,
and
to
Pourfoil
,
do
not
you
think
that
they
gave
one
false
touch
in
two
;
and
that
it
needed
to
be
written
under
their
Work
what
the
Pictures
were
,
that
a
Lion
might
not
be
taken
for
a
Dog
?
It
is
the
opinion
of
Pliny
,
that
Nature
her self
,
(
notwithstanding
she
is
so
great
an
Artist
,
and
Mistresse
of
the
most
excellent
Works
)
before
she
set
her self
to
make
the
Lilly
,
a
work
of
great
Art
,
did
prepare
her self
by
making
as
it
were
the
rough
draught
,
and
model
in
the
Convolvus
a
white
and
simple
flower
;
Jupiter
angusta
vix
totus
stabat
in
aede
,
From
this
neglected
seed
sprang
that
great
Tree
of
as
many
Palms
,
as
the
Compidoglio
saw
Triumph
;
according
to
the
common
Law
of
all
things
,
That
they
be
first
Springs
of
poor
Originals
&
mean
beginnings
,
then
Rivolets
,
next
Rivers
,
and
at
last
Sea's
.
For
though
it
be
true
that
some
times
,
according
to
the
Ancient
Proverb
,
Royal
Rivers
have
Navigable
Fountains
;
and
he
that
is
to
proceed
in
some
profession
of
Learning
beyond
the
terms
of
ordinary
,
to
any
excellency
,
giveth
extraordinary
Symptomes
in
the
very
beginning
,
like
as
Hercules
Monstra
superavit
prius
,
Quam
nosse
posset
.
in
his
Cradle
●strangling
Dragons
,
thereby
preluding
to
the
Hydra
,
and
giving
the
first
testimony
of
his
strength
:
this
,
notwithstanding
that
it
be
true
in
some
few
,
holds
not
as
a
Law
to
all
;
not
so
much
proves
the
facility
,
as
the
felicity
of
the
first
operations
,
and
rather
the
ability
of
the
Wit
,
than
the
use
of
Art
.
Let
us
not
therefore
abandon
the
enterprize
for
the
difficulty
of
the
beginning
;
nor
let
us
leave
Proteus
if
he
breaks
the
first
snares
we
tie
him
in
.
Desire
not
to
be
Masters
before
you
be
Scholars
:
And
bear
in
mind
,
that
beginners
do
enough
if
they
begin
.
Take
for
encouragement
some
Verses
of
the
King
of
Poets
,
with
their
application
to
the
purpose
;
Qualis
spelunca
subito
commota
Columba
,
Cui
domus
,
&
dulces
latebroso
in
pumice
nidi
Fertur
in
arva
volans
,
plausumque
exurita
pennis
Dat
lecto
ingentem
:
Mox
aïre
lapsa
quieto
Radit
iter
liquidum
,
celeris
neque
commovet
alas
.
Just
such
shall
be
your
Wit
.
Now
it
behoves
you
to
beat
the
wings
strongly
,
and
raise
your selves
to
fly
with
great
pains
;
he
shall
not
need
to
go
much
,
that
without
clapping
the
wings
,
or
beating
the
feathers
,
can
take
most
fortunate
flights
;
and
that
shall
be
,
when
(
having
acquired
the
skill
of
composing
,
)
or
the
doing
what
you
will
,
the
bare
desiring
it
shall
suffice
to
effect
it
.
That
we
ought
to
use
various
Styles
,
according
to
the
variety
of
Subjects
discoursed
of
.
IT
is
requisite
now
to
shew
what
Style
,
what
From
,
or
,
as
Hermogenes
called
it
,
Idea
of
speech
,
ought
to
be
used
by
him
that
composeth
.
About
which
you
must
know
,
that
in
the
Method
of
discussing
any
thing
whatsoever
,
what
is
most
worthy
to
be
observed
,
is
reduceable
to
Quantity
and
Quality
.
The
first
is
measured
by
the
Prolixity
and
Brevity
:
the
second
by
the
Efficacy
and
Debility
of
the
discourse
.
And
because
in
both
the
one
and
the
other
of
these
two
Species
,
you
have
the
two
Extreams
,
and
the
Mean
between
them
,
it
thence
follows
,
that
under
the
Quantity
is
comprehended
the
Longest
,
Mean
,
Shortest
:
Under
the
Quality
,
the
Sublime
,
Mean
,
and
Vulgar
.
The
three
first
have
had
people
that
have
made
use
of
them
.
Of
the
Longest
the
Asians
,
of
the
Shortest
the
Spartans
,
of
the
Mean
the
Atticans
.
The
three
second
have
had
Orators
,
which
upon
the
word
of
M.
Tully
,
have
been
excellent
in
each
of
those
Forms
of
Speech
.
The
pure
Asiatick
is
most
Diffused
;
and
likes
of
what
it
pleaseth
,
and
is
accustomed
to
speak
;
as
that
Albutius
recited
by
Seneca
,
Non
quidquid
debet
,
sed
quidquid
potest
.
A
Style
cruciating
the
ears
,
which
in
an
Ocean
of
words
,
hath
not
a
jot
of
Salt
;
Nullo
enim
certo
pondere
innixus
,
verbis
humidis
,
&
lapsantibus
diffluit
.
Cujus
orationem
benè
existimatum
est
in
ore
nasci
,
non
in
pectore
.
Whence
it
s
a
miracle
(
that
which
Aristotle
said
to
an
importunate
Babbler
)
that
he
should
find
any
that
have
feet
,
ablt
to
walk
with
him
,
or
ears
willing
to
hear
him
.
Have
you
observed
the
first
Letters
of
Indentures
written
in
Parchment
?
How
many
strokes
of
the
Pen
how
many
dashes
,
how
many
flourishes
in
Text
go
to
the
forming
them
?
and
in
the
end
they
are
no
more
than
an
A
,
a
B
,
a
Letter
,
as
the
rest
that
are
simply
writ
.
This
is
the
true
Symbol
of
the
Asian
Style
.
In
a
World
of
Words
it
tells
you
no
more
than
others
would
say
in
a
Sentence
.
The
pure
Laconick
,
useth
rather
Hieroglyphicks
than
words
;
and
in
it
as
is
said
of
the
Pictures
of
Parrhasius
.
Phocion
,
A
blow
with
an
Axe
.
The
Mean
between
these
two
,
that
as
Elixor
is
tempered
&
compounded
of
both
,
is
the
Attick
;
which
without
the
Insipidnesse
of
the
Asian
,
without
the
Obscurity
of
the
Laconick
,
hath
the
Perspicuity
of
that
and
the
Efficacy
of
this
:
and
as
in
a
well-form'd
Body
all
is
not
Nerves
,
not
is
all
Flesh
,
but
it
hath
part
of
the
one
for
Strength
,
and
part
of
the
other
for
Beauty
.
Lysias
,
De
sententia
,
but
as
Plato
,
De
elegantia
.
It
hath
that
,
The
different
Styles
under
the
Species
of
Quality
,
have
not
as
the
a-foresaid
,
the
extreams
vicious
,
and
the
mean
best
;
but
they
proceed
in
goodnesse
one
above
the
other
;
as
they
be
one
more
perfect
than
another
.
To
display
their
nature
more
clearly
,
Marcus
Tully
.
That
the
Art
of
Perswasion
hath
three
most
potent
Means
,
with
which
it
is
wont
to
obtein
its
end
:
these
they
are
,
to
Teach
,
to
Delight
,
to
Perswade
.
And
because
every
one
of
them
hath
a
different
office
from
the
other
,
they
have
also
different
characters
,
and
forms
,
of
which
they
make
use
,
the
Vulgar
or
Popular
to
Teach
,
the
Mean
to
Delight
,
the
Sublime
to
Perswade
.
As
for
the
kind
called
Popular
,
see
the
terms
between
which
the
Father
of
Latine
Eloquence
hath
confined
it
.
The
Mean
,
But
the
Sublime
all
Majesty
,
all
Empire
,
in
that
most
grateful
violence
that
it
offereth
to
the
minds
of
its
Auditors
,
transforming
them
in
all
their
affects
,
and
ravishing
them
with
their
consent
,
recollects
as
much
of
sublimity
in
the
senses
,
of
strength
in
the
reasons
,
of
Art
in
the
order
,
of
weight
in
the
sentences
,
of
ennergy
in
the
words
,
as
can
be
possible
.
It
is
Ample
,
Eloquent
,
Magnificent
.
A
Torrent
but
most
clear
,
a
Lightning
but
regular
.
With
excellent
variety
of
Figures
,
with
mutations
of
affections
,
mixt
without
disorder
.
And
as
it
were
a
Cloud
,
which
in
the
same
day
gives
out
Fire
and
Water
,
Lightning
and
Rain
.
Of
this
Form
of
Speech
I
will
take
in
Picture
from
the
design
of
Quintilian
:
These
are
the
Characters
of
the
Forms
of
Speech
in
their
pure
being
,
onely
hinted
,
not
described
.
The
Masters
of
this
Art
which
according
to
their
profession
do
treat
thereof
,
will
compleatly
satisfie
them
that
desire
a
more
full
information
.
It
sufficeth
me
to
have
said
so
much
concerning
it
as
was
requisite
to
be
known
by
way
of
Introduction
to
the
ensuing
advice
:
And
it
is
,
That
the
Style
should
be
varied
conformably
to
the
variety
of
the
Subjects
treated
of
;
accommodating
it
to
each
as
the
Light
to
the
Colours
,
which
into
so
various
Forms
,
so
constantly
transforms
itself
.
The
same
Scoene
serves
not
to
Tragoedies
,
Comoedies
,
and
Pastorals
.
This
requires
Fields
,
and
Woods
,
that
City-houses
of
resort
,
The
Tragick
Princely
Palaces
,
and
Temples
.
The
place
ought
to
correspond
to
the
Action
.
Likewise
Oration
should
adapt
it self
to
the
subject
;
not
treating
of
sublime
matters
with
a
Plebean
Style
,
nor
of
base
Arguments
with
sublime
Eloquence
.
In
fine
,
we
should
have
that
subtlety
in
the
use
of
Styles
,
which
some
Ancient
founders
of
Statues
had
,
that
formed
not
every
god
every
Mettal
;
but
according
to
their
various
natures
,
in
various
tempers
mixing
them
,
they
expressed
them
to
be
either
,
gentle
,
or
cruel
;
horrid
or
handsome
;
bright
or
duskish
:
and
in
that
most
commendable
was
the
judgment
of
Alcon
,
that
made
a
Hercules
all
of
Iron
;
Laborum
Dei
patientia
inductus
,
said
Pliny
.
Yea
,
we
ought
not
only
universally
to
use
Styles
fitted
to
the
nature
of
the
entire
subjects
,
of
which
we
speak
;
but
in
every
composition
it
behoves
so
many
times
to
vary
it
:
as
the
things
are
divers
which
compose
it
.
And
like
as
in
Tragical
Actions
the
Scoene
changeth
,
and
alters
it self
to
Rural
,
to
expresse
some
particularity
either
of
the
Ancient
Satyre
,
or
of
the
Modern
Pastoral
;
thus
where
there
occurs
in
one
discourse
matters
proper
to
other
Kinds
,
than
that
,
which
the
set
subject
comprehends
,
to
expresse
it
decently
,
it
is
requisite
to
change
the
Form
of
Speech
;
using
appositely
&
opportunely
,
as
Seneca
adviseth
.
Moreover
;
the
parts
of
one
and
the
self
same
Discourse
,
require
various
manners
of
Oration
;
and
so
various
,
as
the
Narration
is
different
from
Proof
,
and
Proof
from
perswasion
.
Omnibus
igitur
dicendi
formis
utatur
orator
,
nec
pr●●
causa
tantùm
,
sed
etiam
pro
partibus
causae
.
Thus
he
that
well
peruseth
a
Treatise
of
some
bulk
,
shall
find
no
lesse
variety
,
than
there
is
in
the
acting
of
a
Scoene
;
in
which
appeares
many
Persons
of
different
State
,
and
Office
:
and
as
in
that
Intererit
multum
Davus
loquatur
,
and
in
the
variety
of
these
persons
,
the
variety
of
their
affects
should
also
be
observed
,
therefore
;
—
Tristia
moestum
Vultum
verba
decent
.
so
proportionably
in
Prose
,
should
we
according
to
the
variety
of
things
,
variously
accommodate
the
Sty●●
And
he
alone
is
the
perfect
,
Of
the
Style
called
Modern
Affected
.
BUt
I
do
predict
,
that
there
will
be
some
who
will
think
,
that
speaking
of
the
better
Idea's
of
Speech
,
I
have
been
unmindful
of
the
best
,
having
hitherto
said
nothing
of
that
which
they
call
the
Conceited
,
or
Witty
Style
,
used
now a-dayes
of
many
with
no
small
applause
of
Wit.
.
This
is
(
say
they
)
that
Style
,
given
onely
to
Wits
enriched
with
high
fancies
;
for
all
is
dissolved
Pearls
,
and
beaten
Gold
,
the
office
of
sublime
Souls
;
since
that
as
the
Indian
Bird
called
the
Bird
of
Paradise
,
it
never
sets
foot
on
Earth
,
never
abaseth
it self
,
but
still
towers
a-loft
in
the
purest
Air
,
and
the
serenest
and
sublimest
Heaven
.
It
composeth
the
draughts
of
the
things
it
representeth
with
a
precious
Mosaick
of
a
thousand
Ingenious
Conceits
;
emulating
that
great
Pompey
,
that
Triumphantly
(
albeit
,
Verior
luxuria
,
Sprightly
Style
,
which
will
expresly
and
lively
delineate
her
features
,
according
as
vivacity
is
proper
to
her
.
The
World
is
not
now
what
it
was
when
men
,
brought
forth
by
trees
,
did
eat
Acorns
for
Confects
.
In
the
taste
of
Learning
it
hath
now a-dayes
so
delicate
a
Palat
,
that
it
will
have
not
onely
the
liquours
which
it
imbibeth
by
the
ears
(
which
are
the
mouthes
of
the
Soul
)
to
be
precious
,
but
will
have
the
cup
to
be
no
lesse
precious
in
which
it
s
put
;
so
that
both
the
matter
,
and
the
manner
of
pouring
it
out
,
be
worthy
of
it
.
And
this
Ingenious
Style
is
that
only
,
That
Ancient
Idle
kind
of
Speech
,
which
in
a
discourse
of
many
hours
spreads
a
great
Table
;
seems
to
feed
you
,
thereby
to
hold
you
in
suspence
;
but
leaves
you
in
the
end
,
as
hungry
as
in
the
beginning
:
In
amne
medio
facibus
,
siccis
senex
Sectatur
undas
.
Abluit
mentum
latex
,
Fidemque
cum
in
saepè
decepto
dedit
,
Fugit
unda
;
in
ore
poma
destituunt
famem
.
It
promiseth
you
Fruit
,
but
gives
you
the
Leaves
of
bare
words
;
and
leaves
your
mind
as
hungry
as
your
ears
glutted
.
But
the
Modern
Speech
sets
before
you
as
much
variety
as
plenty
of
sweet
Viands
;
and
taking
them
away
upon
your
first
tasting
them
,
and
setting
on
other
new
ones
,
keeps
you
still
sated
,
and
still
hungring
:
according
to
the
Ancient
Laws
of
the
Noblest
Suppers
,
Julius
Caesar
that
knew
,
Etiam
unguentati
benè
pugnare
.
Aiax
wore
his
shield
of
Hides
,
without
ornament
,
horridly
negligent
;
Achilles
that
had
his
covered
with
Gold
,
and
studded
with
Diamonds
,
was
not
therefore
lesse
strong
,
because
more
beautiful
.
Thus
speak
these
of
their
Style
,
besides
which
none
doth
please
them
.
If
a
Treatise
want
those
,
which
they
call
Conceits
,
as
if
it
were
a
face
,
Cui
gelasinus
abest
,
they
vouchsafe
not
so
much
as
to
look
upon
it
.
To
there
Palat
that
only
which
stings
hath
a
good
savour
,
all
the
rest
,
Melimela
fatuaeque
mariscae
,
is
meat
for
Children
.
In
sine
,
they
so
idolize
the
substance
,
that
many
times
they
adore
the
only
name
of
a
Conceit
,
where
they
think
it
is
:
and
,
I
had
almost
said
,
they
do
with
it
,
as
he
described
by
Martial
,
did
with
his
Pearls
,
Non
per
mystica
sacra
Dindymenes
,
Others
on
the
contrary
say
this
is
not
the
Modern
Style
.
The
true
and
lively
Image
of
it
is
pourtray'd
in
that
Ancient
Picture
that
Quintilian
left
of
it
(
lib.
Western
Indians
,
that
more
esteem
a
Glasse
,
that
a
Pearl
,
a
sorry
Brasse
Bell
,
than
a
Wedg
of
Gold
,
with
this
its
rich
and
pompous
,
They
turmoil
themselves
in
hammering
out
Conceits
,
which
most
commonly
prove
Abortives
,
or
Cripples
;
works
of
Glasse
,
neiled
by
a
Candle
,
which
toucht
,
I
will
not
say
seen
,
break
in
pieces
:
and
yet
by
how
much
the
frailer
by
so
much
the
fairer
,
It
s
a
matter
of
most
pleasant
divertisement
to
see
their
Writing●
,
as
it
were
sick-mens
Dreams
,
to
passe
at
every
period
de
genere
in
genus
,
verifying
in
their
Actions
that
which
they
;
That
their
Conceits
are
lightnings
,
&
flashes
of
Wit
;
since
,
besides
that
their
appearing
and
disappearing
is
the
same
thing
,
they
in
the
same
instant
fly
from
East
to
West
,
and
oft-times
sine
medio
.
All
their
Leaves
resemble
a
Peacocks
tail
displayed
before
the
Sun
:
as
various
in
colours
,
as
●●onstant
in
motion
.
quae
varietate
sola
placent
,
From
hence
cometh
the
uniting
of
periods
,
divided
,
and
as
it
were
Apostrophi'd
into
small
concise
particles
;
an
effect
of
the
multitude
of
minute-points
,
each
of
which
finish
the
sentence
,
and
changeth
the
sense
,
&
tàm
subitò
desinunt
,
[
*
](A31106-e44980-b)
*
the
word
is
atro
,
but
it
being
the
same
Seneca
,
I
read
it
altrove
.
els-where
Seneca
saith
,
Non
desinunt
sed
cadunt
,
ubi
maximè
expectes
relictura
.
Finally
,
from
their
not
speaking
what
they
speak
,
it
comes
that
they
speak
it
a
hundred
times
;
so
that
,
like
them
that
beginning
alwayes
new
designs
how
to
live
,
they
know
not
living
how
to
live
,
Victuros
agimus
,
semper
neque
vivimus
unquam
.
so
these
which
have
this
method
of
speech
,
that
they
can
as
well
conclude
in
the
beginning
,
as
begin
in
the
conclusion
,
may
aptly
enough
be
able
to
say
of
themselves
,
Dicturos
agimus
semper
,
neque
dicimus
unquam
.
Therefore
their
discourse
resembleth
the
unhappy
sport
which
Seneca
assigned
to
the
Emperor
Claudius
,
for
an
Infernal
pain
,
and
it
was
that
he
should
alwayes
stand
in
a
posture
of
casting
the
Dice
,
and
never
have
his
Throw
;
Nam
quoties
missurus
erat
,
That
then
,
in
which
these
Wits
triumph
,
is
in
their
Descriptions
,
which
when
they
obtein
,
they
say
to
themselves
,
Hic
Rhodus
,
hic
salta
.
And
yet
it
commonly
succeeds
with
such
constraint
of
Art
and
Wit
,
and
in
so
Hyperbolical
,
and
Gigantical
a
manner
,
that
the
more
they
desire
to
speak
the
lesse
they
say
;
equally
roving
from
that
which
is
natural
and
that
which
is
profitable
.
What
would
that
Ingenious
Phavorinus
say
now a-dayes
,
that
reading
in
Virgil
,
where
he
described
Euceladus
thunder-struck
under
Mongibello
,
and
saith
Liquefactaque
saxa
sub
auras
Cum
gemitu
glomerat
:
judged
this
saying
,
That
Roses
in
the
Cheeks
to
remove
,
and
arches
of
admiration
in
the
brows
to
the
triumph
of
others
virtues
,
in
running
through
the
fields
of
Eternity
with
the
steps
of
Desert
,
&c.
expressions
usual
in
subjects
of
familiar
but
Plebeian
Argument
,
and
about
things
that
they
engreaten
not
in
the
least
.
When
its
indiscretion
to
use
too
Elegant
and
Polite
a
Style
.
BUt
of
Conceits
and
the
manner
of
using
them
,
let
every
one
judg
according
to
his
reason
and
fancy
.
For
my
part
,
if
I
be
to
borrow
any
of
them
,
for
the
necessity
of
the
Argument
,
I
esteem
them
as
Jewels
,
and
take
their
value
from
their
Nature
,
and
Use
:
so
that
they
be
not
counterfeit
but
real
;
and
not
disordered
at
all
adventures
,
but
put
in
their
proper
places
.
The
one
is
the
Office
of
the
Wit
,
which
is
to
Invent
them
;
and
the
other
of
the
Judgment
,
which
ought
to
Dispose
them
.
The
Wit
is
not
to
take
Chystals
for
Diamonds
;
the
Judgment
must
not
crowd
them
in
where
they
should
not
be
:
imitating
the
Western
Barbarians
,
which
cut
the
skins
of
their
faces
,
to
enchase
therein
Jewels
;
never
perceiving
that
they
more
deform
themselves
with
the
Gashes
they
make
,
than
adorn
themselves
with
the
Ornaments
they
wear
.
The
face
requireth
no
other
ornament
,
than
its
natural
beauty
;
and
its
more
wronged
and
deform'd
by
a
Pearl
although
very
excellent
,
enchased
in
a
Cheek
,
than
by
the
blemish
of
a
Mole
,
growing
there
naturally
.
In
like
manner
in
the
Art
of
Speaking
,
some
things
appear
the
fairer
for
their
plainnesse
;
and
resemble
Pictures
,
in
which
saith
Pliny
Junior
very
excellently
,
that
the
Painter
;
Ne
errare
quidem
debet
in
melius
.
Lysippus
cast
a
Statue
of
Alexander
so
to
the
life
,
that
it
seemed
,
he
had
infused
into
the
melted
Brasse
the
veey
Soul
of
that
great
King
.
Nero
,
(
that
was
Cruel
even
in
his
Favours
,
and
did
hurt
even
there
where
he
pretended
to
help
,
)
having
it
in
his
power
amongst
other
spoils
of
Greece
,
would
gild
it
;
judging
that
a
Statue
of
so
excellent
workmanship
was
not
worthily
composed
of
any
worse
Metal
than
Gold
.
The
Fool
considered
not
,
that
Martial
faces
were
better
expressed
by
the
fiercenesse
of
Brasse
,
than
by
the
sprucenesse
of
that
Womanish
and
lascivious
Metal
.
Therefore
the
Gilded
Statue
of
Nero
,
lost
all
the
Nobility
of
Alexander
:
all
the
Workmanship
of
Lysippus
:
and
that
,
being
gilt
,
became
a
dead
Statue
which
seem'd
before
a
living
Image
:
So
that
he
was
constrain'd
to
correct
his
error
,
and
for
Nero's
fault
to
flea
Alexander
:
taking
off
with
the
Fyle
that
Golden
Skin
,
which
had
been
lay'd
on
with
fire
:
and
yet
so
gasht
,
so
ill
dealt
with
,
it
remain'd
more
beautiful
than
it
did
before
when
it
was
gilded
;
Cum
pretio
periisset
gratia
artis
(
said
the
Stoick
)
detractum
est
aurum
;
pretiosiorque
talis
aestimatur
,
etiam
cicatricibus
operis
,
atque
consciscuris
,
in
quibus
aurum
haeserat
,
remanentibus
.
Therefore
Imbelishments
are
not
alwayes
Ornaments
;
but
sometimes
transform
one
into
deformity
,
and
where
Ornari
res
ipsa
negat
,
to
be
superfluously
,
and
sometimes
affectedly
conceited
,
declares
a
great
plenty
of
Wit
,
but
a
small
portion
of
judgment
.
In
Affections
then
,
either
let
us
betake
our selves
to
imitate
,
or
suppresse
them
;
which
is
the
hardest
point
in
the
Profession
of
Rhetorick
;
because
an
exquisite
Art
of
a
refined
Judgment
,
must
lie
hid
under
such
Naturalnesse
that
what
is
said
,
may
not
seem
a
Dictate
of
Wit
,
but
a
venting
of
the
heart
;
not
studied
,
but
born
of
it self
;
not
got
by
pausing
,
but
found
in
the
very
act
of
speaking
;
what
use
can
be
made
of
a
Style
,
that
's
distilled
drop
by
drop
by
the
dim
light
of
a
Candle
;
with
words
wract
in
their
Metaphors
,
double
in
their
allusions
,
with
spiritous
and
lively
senses
:
more
able
to
puzle
the
brain
,
than
to
move
the
heart
?
Mortuum
non
artifex
fistula
(
saith
Chrysologus
)
sed
simplex
plangit
affectio
.
For
my self
,
when
I
chance
to
hear
the
affections
managed
in
so
improper
a
manner
I
feel
a
greater
naucity
,
than
one
who
is
Sea-sick
;
and
my
tongue
itcheth
to
be
using
that
saying
of
a
Wise
Emperour
,
that
said
to
one
of
his
Servants
,
all
perfum'd
with
Musk
as
he
trust
him
out
of
his
Chamber
,
banished
him
the
Court
,
Mallem
allium
oleres
.
How
would
that
great
Master
of
the
Stage
Polus
,
in
expressing
the
affections
,
suffer
the
affectatiō
of
a
childish
Style
,
who
to
represent
more
lively
the
person
of
Hecuba
,
lamenting
the
losse
of
her
Valorous
Son
dead
Hector
,
whose
ashes
she
carried
in
an
Urn
,
dis-interred
the
Bones
of
his
own
Son
a
little
before
buried
,
and
filled
the
Urn
therewith
,
and
with
that
in
his
arms
appeared
on
the
Stage
;
leaving
the
Art
of
Mourning
to
Nature
,
and
expressing
the
imitation
with
reality
,
whilst
under
the
mask
of
Hecuba
,
he
represented
himself
a
child-lesse
Father
,
and
under
the
name
of
Hector
bewail'd
the
losse
of
his
Son
?
Thus
the
Style
of
the
affections
is
the
truer
,
the
more
natural
it
is
,
nor
is
it
possible
that
whilst
the
Thoughts
run
to
the
motions
of
the
Soul
,
the
Wit
should
be
so
idle
as
not
to
be
studiously
Ingenious
;
nor
that
whilst
it
is
conveighed
from
the
heart
to
the
tongue
of
a
person
impetuous
and
violent
,
replenished
with
a
thousand
different
meanings
,
it
should
have
time
to
select
the
words
,
to
disguise
them
,
turning
them
from
the
natural
to
the
metaphorical
sense
,
and
to
imbelish
them
with
flourishes
,
and
conceits
.
But
he
that
hath
a
solid
judgment
,
if
in
treating
of
any
matter
humerous
,
he
see
his
importunely-fertile
Wit
,
to
offer
and
present
before
him
,
subtleties
,
and
nice
quirks
,
he
will
thrust
them
away
,
with
his
hand
,
and
say
unto
them
,
Non
est
hic
locus
.
He
doth
with
the
eye
of
his
mind
,
as
the
bodily
eyes
do
,
when
they
see
too
much
light
;
they
contract
the
pupils
,
and
thereby
exclude
part
of
it
.
And
is
wise
in
so
doing
,
In
fine
,
where
he
is
to
speak
seriously
to
convince
,
to
reprehend
,
to
condemn
,
an
act
vice
,
or
person
,
in
using
a
Style
that
sings
when
it
should
roar
,
that
instead
of
thundring
,
lightens
;
(
the
Periods
leaping
by
salts
like
the
spouts
of
a
Fountain
,
when
they
should
run
like
a
stream
)
every
one
sees
how
far
he
is
from
obteining
what
he
aimes
at
.
Non
enim
amputata
oratio
&
abscissa
,
sed
lata
,
Vultus
est
illi
Jovis
;
sed
fulminanti
.
What
vanity
is
it
,
The
Style
with
which
we
combate
with
Vice
,
is
as
Warlike
as
the
Sword
,
whose
goodnesse
,
and
bravery
consists
not
in
the
Gold
of
the
Hilt
,
nor
in
the
Diamonds
of
the
Pommel
;
but
in
the
temper
of
the
Steel
.
But
the
more
it
s
beset
with
Jewels
and
enriched
with
Insculptures
,
and
Ornaments
,
the
worse
it
cuts
,
and
the
lesse
expeditiously
is
managed
.
When
we
fight
thou
shalt
not
prove
the
Hilt
but
the
Blade
:
and
the
Blade
shall
make
thee
weep
then
,
if
the
Hilt
make
thee
laugh
now
.
Auri
enim
fulgor
,
atque
argenti
(
saith
Tacitus
)
neque
tegit
,
neque
vulnerat
.
Let
the
Style
therefore
,
wherewith
we
are
to
fight
be
no
Bridegroom
,
but
a
Warriour
.
Where
the
words
are
to
be
Darts
,
fill
not
the
mouth
with
Flowers
of
Elocution
,
to
send
out
at
every
stop
,
a
puff
;
as
if
Vice
was
a
Hornet
,
to
which
the
smell
of
Flowers
is
a
deadly
poyson
;
or
as
if
you
would
kill
your
adversaries
as
Heliogabalus
did
his
friends
,
suffocating
them
in
Roses
.
It
is
an-hitherto-observed
folly
,
to
fight
a
Duel
dancing
,
and
to
mix
Salts
,
and
Assaults
,
and
Flourishes
,
with
Passes
.
There
's
no
jesting
with
edg-tools
.
Blows
made
to
wound
the
heart
,
are
not
to
be
fetcht
meeting
the
brest
of
the
enemy
in
a
jesting
way
;
as
if
one
would
imbrace
rather
than
wound
.
And
yet
there
's
none
that
believe
that
the
serious
and
severe
Style
wants
its
elegancy
,
by
wanting
the
ornaments
of
subtle
,
and
superfluous
conceits
.
The
Lion
requires
not
a
combed
crest
,
gilded
paws
,
pendents
at
his
ears
,
nor
ropes
of
Pearl
about
his
neck
lasciviously
fitted
,
to
make
him
brave
.
The
horrider
he
is
,
the
more
beautiful
;
the
more
ruff
and
shagg'd
,
the
handsomer
.
Hic
spiritu
acer
(
saith
Seneca
)
qualem
illum
,
Of
the
Examination
and
Correction
of
our
own
Composures
.
THe
work
of
a
Book
being
compleated
(
about
which
,
the
end
which
in
the
beginning
I
proposed
to
my self
,
was
,
to
advert
that
only
,
which
concerns
the
invention
and
disposing
of
matters
,
and
the
manners
of
expressing
them
)
that
which
onely
remains
is
,
to
go
over
it
with
the
finishing
touch
,
and
repolish
it
,
examining
to
particularly
,
and
making
a
severe
judgment
of
each
of
its
parts
,
to
see
if
there
be
as
Sydonius
found
in
those
of
his
Rimigius
,
Nec
se
agnoscit
in
illis
.
The
reason
is
,
because
the
boyling
of
the
Spirits
whilst
the
Wit
is
warm'd
in
indicting
,
leaves
not
that
tranquility
nor
clear
serenity
in
the
judgment
,
as
is
requisite
for
to
work
as
evenly
as
deliberately
.
Therefore
Fere
quae
impetu
placent
minus
praestant
ad
manum
relata
.
Non
enim
citò
scribendo
fit
,
More
,
atque
ritu
Ursino
,
because
not
content
to
have
brought
them
forth
,
he
repolisht
them
one
by
one
as
the
Bear
,
which
with
her
tongue
shapes
out
the
members
of
her
Cubs
,
which
were
brought
forth
not
only
deform'd
,
but
unform'd
.
We
should
not
therefore
seek
only
to
form
the
work
,
but
to
reform
it
also
;
and
remember
,
that
others
will
not
stick
to
use
with
them
that
severity
in
condemning
them
,
which
we
,
foolishly
pitiful
,
spared
in
correcting
them
.
Let
us
in
this
take
example
from
GOD
himself
,
that
hath
been
ever
since
the
beginning
of
the
World
with
a
great
Lesson
our
Tutor
herein
,
in
that
he
made
the
World
in
one
day
,
and
was
five
in
beautefying
it
;
taking
one
while
darknesse
from
Heaven
,
another
while
sterily
from
the
Earth
;
adorning
that
with
Stars
,
this
with
Flowers
:
till
that
having
compleated
,
his
Work
he
commended
it
as
worthy
of
his
hand
,
&
requievit
ab
universo
opere
quod
patrarat
.
He
might
,
its
true
,
have
made
the
World
as
in
a
Mould
,
and
perfected
it
in
a
moment
.
Neverthelesse
,
I
will
not
say
that
we
should
be
so
strangely
cruel
with
our
writings
,
as
to
wreck
every
word
if
not
every
syllable
,
that
so
it
become
like
the
Chords
of
the
Lute
;
And
we
must
know
,
that
in
this
particular
the
superficious
diligence
of
such
who
like
Prothogenes
,
Nescit
manum
de
tabula
,
is
no
lesse
blameable
,
than
the
negligence
of
such
who
wholly
omit
to
correct
.
For
Negligence
,
its
true
,
leaveth
the
superfluous
matters
in
a
Treatise
;
but
the
superstitious
Curiosity
(
which
is
worse
)
takes
away
the
necessary
.
That
,
by
not
corecting
omits
to
chang
the
bad
into
good
,
this
,
by
over-much
correcting
,
changeth
very
often
the
good
into
bad
.
From
the
desire
of
contenting
their
insatiable
Genius
,
proceeds
,
in
some
,
their
beginning
a
thousand
times
the
same
labour
,
weaving
and
re-weaving
with
Penelope
still
the
same
piece
,
and
cancelling
to
day
what
they
writ
yesterday
.
Resembling
the
punishment
of
Sysippus
in
Hell
;
who
never
ceaseth
to
rowl
to
the
top
of
the
Hill
that
inconstant
and
deceitful
Stone
,
which
trundling
back
to
the
bottom
whence
he
took
it
,
frustrates
his
pains
,
and
wearies
his
arms
.
Imitating
the
folly
of
that
famous
Apollodorus
,
who
not
pleased
with
the
Statues
,
which
with
great
expence
of
pains
he
had
made
,
for
anger
broke
them
to
pieces
with
his
tools
,
and
was
almost
ready
to
grind
them
in
his
teeth
;
called
therefore
the
Saturn
of
Gravers
,
because
he
dismembred
his
Children
,
and
eat
them
though
of
Stone
.
Nunquid
in
meliùs
dicere
vis
quam
potes
?
What
man
is
there
though
of
never
so
excellent
a
Judgment
,
to
whom
his
works
are
so
pleasing
,
that
as
Gold
of
the
twenty
fourth
Karact
,
there
is
nothing
to
be
added
of
good
or
taken
away
of
base
Alloy
?
Perfection
is
a
priviledge
denied
to
all
the
things
in
the
World
.
The
Sun
hath
its
Mysts
,
the
Moon
her
Spots
;
of
the
Stars
,
some
are
turbulent
,
some
melancholy
;
and
yet
these
are
the
most
considerable
Bodies
in
Heaven
;
nor
ought
they
therefore
to
be
disolved
,
because
they
are
not
altogether
so
beautiful
as
they
might
be
.
Examine
the
Books
that
have
the
esteem
of
great
Learning
and
the
fame
of
great
knowledg
,
they
will
be
fair
faces
but
not
without
some
blemish
,
or
defect
;
for
not
only
good
Homer
,
Quandoque
dormitat
,
but
in
a
word
,
the
Argus's
also
,
though
they
have
a
hundred
eyes
.
For
if
they
had
resolved
fully
to
satisfie
themselves
,
and
not
to
publish
their
labours
to
the
VVorld
,
till
that
they
should
have
been
compleatly
perfect
,
Adieu-Books
:
the
VVorld
would
not
have
had
one
good
one
;
But
if
they
patiently
suffered
their
defects
counterfeited
by
so
many
excellencies
,
we
need
not
despair
but
that
so
much
as
is
of
good
in
our
writings
,
may
find
more
praise
than
the
culpable
dispraise
.
Let
us
apply
unto
our selves
that
counsel
which
that
Astrologer
gave
to
the
Cripples
,
to
comfort
them
concerning
their
maimed
,
shriv'led
,
and
dislocated
limbes
:
Observe
,
saith
he
,
the
Heaven
,
and
in
it
the
Constellations
,
one
by
one
;
all
are
not
so
beautiful
,
but
that
there
are
some
that
are
deformed
,
lame
,
and
one
way
or
other
,
maimed
.
The
Scorpion
wants
his
claws
:
Pegasus
,
&
Taurus
have
no
more
than
half
of
them
seen
.
Quod
si
solerti
circumspicis
omnia
cura
.
That
finally
,
which
consumates
all
diligence
,
requisite
about
our
Compositions
,
is
to
submit
them
to
the
judgment
,
to
the
censure
,
to
the
correction
of
a
faithful
and
understanding
Friend
.
One
eye
of
a
by-stander
sees
more
into
anothers
matters
than
two
of
his
own
:
But
take
notice
that
the
submission
of
our
Writings
to
the
censur●
or
others
,
is
not
to
be
done
out
of
complement
,
but
●o

th●m
corrected
;
not
to
be
commended
but
●mended
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
it
happens
,
that
Modesty
or
Respect
restrain
our
friend
from
using
liberty
and
rigour
with
us
,
we
must
shew
our
resentments
at
it
,
&
bespeak
him
as
Cel●●●
the
Orator
in
a
like
case
did
his
confident
,
Quòd

But
this
is
become
now
a-days
so
difficult
,
that
,
whereas
there
is
but
few
that
know
how
,
there
is
none
almost
that
will

Nullum

I
have
hitherto
personated
that
old
Tiresias
,
that
being
blind
himself
opened
the
eyes
of
others
,
&
stumbling
at
every
step
,
shewed
the
doubtful
the
safest
ways
.
Nor
do
I
yet
think
that
I
ought
to
be
therefore
reprehended
;
nor
because
my
Style
is
a
rusty
File
am
I
culpable
,
if
with
it
I
have
endevoured
to
brighten
others
.
Who
expects
that
the
Hone
which
sets
an
edg
on
Blades
,
should
it self
cut
?
Or
looks
that
those
Mercuries
of
stone
,
which
pointed
the
way
to
Travellers
should
travail
themselves
?
The
Brain
hath
no
sense
,
affirms
Cassiodorus
,
and
its
true
:
and
yet
,
for
that
the
nerves
are
fixed
in
it
,
and
from
it
receive
the
spirits
for
the
noblest
operations
of
the
Soule

If
I
have
not
the
applause
of
a
Pencil
,
that
Painting
is
able
to
teach
others
to
Paint
;
I
may
assume
that
of
a
Cole
,
that
draws
those
dead
lines
which
first
Pour●oil
the
Design

Which
though
they
be
expung'd
by
the
Colours
,
and
lost
in
the
Picture
,
yet
they
lose
not
their
vertue
,
of
prescribing
order
to
the
Colours
,
and
giving
a
rule
to
the
Design
.
