great warre betwixt the Grecians the Troians then of the destructiō and ruine of Troy for hauyng stollen away the wife of Menelaus better had it ben that the Beare had deuoured hym Contrarywise doo we not see howe Torquinius the proud king of Rome and Dionisius kyng of Cicilie became so poore haue not we for example manifest howe that Nabuchodonosor of a kyng became so poore that he was constreyned

depaynted a broade Ladder vppon the which some dyd ascende and other some descende signifying the state of Fortune You maye see in this worlde howe some being hungry are feedyng on the table of

thē selues to turne the wheele of Ixion Oh vaine worlde ful of miserie in which is founde no rest at all Wherefore my opinion is that man shoulde neuer seeke after Fortune but altogeather despise her let her doo as shee pleaseth and all in all put hym selfe in the handes of God and content hym selfe with that vocation vnto whiche God hath called him and not to seeke to haue that which is others

é vn bel detto si vede a quunti pericoli il ricco é sottoposto lui mai non dorme quietemente sempre ha paura di questo e di quest ' altro lui é inuidiato da i cattiui disprezzato da i buoni honorato da gli adulatori temuto da gli poueri per le sue richezze O gran cosa ●o per me diro come diceua quel al tro che é meglio dormir in terra senza paura et esser saluo che giacer in letto fornito di oro
