yeres iÌ„ the couÌ„trey as it is said only with an olde woman to serue hym of his meate and drinke fled from his countrey and princely paleys had neuertheles sadnesse and frownyng debate in coÌ„pany what if that same nothyng to do hath troubled many from the ryght order of the mynde as sayth Homere by Achylles that he sat amonge the shippes folowiÌ„g his ire with ferme purpose flyeng from the fight the worthy counsayls of the nobles and the people and dyuertiÌ„g the name of men vnactyfe he fayleth in his hert and agayne streyght he seketh the batails and stereth him selfe iÌ„ the cruell stryffes of Mars Therfore whan he coude nat suffre hym selfe to wyther iÌ„ ydelnesse he sayth angerly I sytte lyke a deed lumpe of erthe as the keper of the shippes Nor yet Epycure the alower of voluptousnesse is nat their auctor that are outher ambitious or desirous of glory by nature that they shulde gyue theÌ„ to ydelnesse but vnto the gouernauÌ„ce of coÌ„mynaltees as nature ledeth them for men that are borne to busynesse can nat suffre with euyn and vntroubled mynde to be deâ—ued of that they most desyred Altho lyke a fole he calleth them to a coÌ„mon welth that can nat holde them self from it and nat rather theÌ„ that ar mete for the rule of it Nor trewly the suretie and trouble of the mynde ought nat to be measured with multytude or scarsty of businesses For to ouerslip honest thiÌ„ges is no lesse displesaunt troublous than as we haue afore said to do foule thynges But theÌ„ also that haue chosen one maner of life to be voyd froÌ„ trouble as some do the life of these husbaÌ„dmen some of syngle men and some of kyngê Menander warneth with these wordes that they erre far as they say out of the way I thynke o Phania that these rich men that nede nat to make eschange for gayne nor to playne in the night nor in turnyng them vp and downe to say often alas slepe the swete and soft slepes but whan he came and ê‘ceyued the rych men as well as the nedy to be troubled it is no marueyle ê™ he they ar of kyn both borne at a burthen lyfe trouble for it is the felowe of voluptuous lyfe of that brought vp by nede it encreseth And trewly as fearfull and sicke folkeâ— out of a lytell bote lepe in to a gret shyp and from thens agayne in to a galy thiÌ„kyng euer to be better tyll they ê‘ceyue them selfe nothyng the nere as who sayth clene done as they that cary the coler and fearfulnesse euerywhere with them so to take another another kynd of lyfe can nat delyuer the mynde from coÌ„bre and troubles such as ar vnknowlege of thynges vnconsydred auenture nouther to know nor to can vse a ryght thynges present for a mater that is happened These thynges trouble the riche aswell as the nedy and vexeth with sadnesse the syngle men as well as the maryed And for these causes many that thinke moch welth is iÌ„ opyn places can nat suffre a secrete restfull lyfe for these selfe same causes it repenteth many of that they haue begon that with gret labour haue thrust theÌ„ self in to the courtes of kynges It is an vnplesauÌ„t thing of sicke men as Ion sayth for the wyfe troubleth theÌ„ they blame the phecisyen they be angry with the bed ye and their frende noyeth them visytyng them and agayne departyng displeaseth them After that whan the disese forsaketh them and that by returned teÌ„pre helth cometh makyng althyng mery and plesaunt so that he on the ton day that coud nat broke an egge nor fyne bred on the next day eteth huÌ„gerly whetiÌ„ bred cresses such effect streÌ„gth is there in resoniÌ„g for to chauÌ„ge eche purpose of lyfâ— for the happy passyng of the same AlexaÌ„der whan he herde Anaxarchus argue that there were infynite worldes it is said that he wept and whan his frendes asked hym what thing had happened hiÌ„ to be wept for Is it nat to be wept for ê™ he syns they say there be infynâ—te worldes we are nat yet lorde of one Crates coÌ„trarywyse wearyng an olde cloke lyned with sport and laughter as in holydayes tyll his last Agayne to Agamemnoâ— it was greuous that he ruled so many whaÌ„ he sayd Thou shalt knowe Attrides AgameÌ„non whom aboue all men Iupiter exerciseth and troubleth with labours Diogines whan he was on the stone to be solde he scoffed with the crier that shuld auaunce the sale and whan he bad hym aryse he wolde nat sayeng at the laste what if thou shuldest haue solde a fissh And Soâ—rates in his bondê dyd dispute of wisdome among his pursuers Lo on the othersyde Pheton clymyng in to heuin optayning wepiÌ„gly that his father shulde take hym his chare and his horse to rule Trewly as a showe may be wrested to the facion of a dyuers foote but nat the fote lykewise to the facion of the wrested show So do the passions of the thought make eche maner of life that is offred theÌ„ conformable like to theÌ„ self nor vnto theÌ„ that haue choseÌ„ the best lyf custoÌ„e maketh it nat plesauÌ„t as soÌ„e say but rather wisdoÌ„ maketh the best life to be also most plesaÌ„t Therfore the well of surete of the miÌ„de spriÌ„ging iÌ„ our self let vs assay to make most pure clere that those thingê that gyue vs foren thingê chauÌ„ceable we may make mete accordiÌ„g in suffriÌ„g with gret vprightnesse of the mynde For trewly it accordeth nat to be wroth agayn thynges that chauÌ„ce amisse for our angre nothyng ê‘tayneth to them but he that can amend by craft yll chauÌ„ces he treâ—ly doth more laudably Therfore Plato compareth maÌ„nes lyfe with the dyse in the which the best cast is to be of the dyser desyred moost but how soeuer it happen there shuld be a ware hede that he vse ryght that that the chaunce gyueth wherof it is to parceyue that the tone is nat in our power that is the chaunce of the dyse the other is if we be wyse that we take with euyn miÌ„de that that chauÌ„ce gyueth to gyue to eche of theÌ„ his place that that which chauÌ„ceth well may be most profyte and that lest hurt that happeth ouertwhartly But vnconnyng men and ignoraunt howe to lede their lyfe lyke sickely men that can nother suffre hâ—te nor colde as in ê“speryte they are with an hye forhed outragious kepyng no measure so are they in aduersyte with knyt bent browes fouly distempred So are they troubled of both or rather iÌ„ both of theÌ„ self and lykewise in those that are taken for good thyngê Theodorus that was called Athens was often wont to say â—hat he reched wordes to his herers with his right haÌ„de they toke them with their lyft hande Foles oftentymes whan fortune offreth her ryght hande vncomely turnyng them selfe set her on their lyft hande wyse men do better that lyke as bees make

hony a right swete thiÌ„g out of drie tyme an herbe of very bytâ— tast so of very vnhandsome thynges oft tymes they chuse out some handsome and prefytable thynges to theÌ„ which thing wolde be moche thought on laboured with great exercyse of the mynde For as he that cast a stone at a froward dog whan he mist the dogge and hit his step mother vnware It is nat moch amysse ê™ he So may we mende and turne another way fortune whan she chauÌ„ceth otherwyse than we wolde Diogynes bycause of his exyle left his couÌ„tre it was nat so greatly yll for it gaue hym occasyon of lernyng philosophy Zenon of Citius that had but one shyp whan he herd that it was perished the maryners the marchandise and as they say euery crom Fortune ê™ he thou doest very wel with me that driues me to myn old cloke and to the porche of philosophy what therfore shall let vs that we may nat folowe them Thou art fallen from some rule or authorite thou shalt lyue iÌ„ the countre Aplyeng thy priuate busynesse with great compasse assayeng to auaunce thy selfe in the princes fauourâ— thou art refused thou shalt lyue surely euery where with no busynesse layd vnto the. Agayne thou art taÌ„gled with many cares and busynesses warme water doth nat cheryssh so moch tendre membres as sayth Pyndarus as honours and glory ioyned with power doth make labour swete and suffrable But som offeÌ„ce dothe trouble the of backbityng of enuy or nouhhty sclauÌ„dre the best remedy is with the muses or in som place of leruyng to suffre ouer as it happened vnto Plato as in a cruel tempest whan he was taken iÌ„ to the fauour of Deny sâ— Therfore it is of no lytell effecte for the quietnesse of mynd diligently to marke noble and famous men if they haue suffred any lyke thyng by those same causes as by example want of children maketh the sad Loke on the Romayn kynges of whom neuer a one dieng left his reigne to his childe Pouerte thou cannat suffre with euyn mynde who than haddest thou leuer be of al the Boetians rather than EpaminoÌ„das or of al the Romayns than Fabricius But sette case thy wyfe be nat chast knowest thou nat thepygram of Agys in Delphos Hast thou nat herde how Alcibyades defyled Time a his wife and how she was wont to name the childe that she bare priuely to her maydeÌ„s Alcibiades yet that letted nat Agys to be a very worthy and a noble man no more thaÌ„ vnchast doughter of Stylphon dyd let hym to lyue the merylyst of all the philosophers of his tyme. whiche shame whan Wetrocles layde vnto hym is it my faut or my don â—his ê™ he thy doughts ê™ thother but â—hy misfortune howe can that be ê™ he are nat fautes fallynges yes ê™ tother and fallynges are nat they also the errours of them that they are the fallynges of trewe ê™ thother and what be errours are they nat the mysfortunes of them that they be errours of with such a soft resoniÌ„g pesable spech he taught the vayn checkis of the dogged man to be but triflyng â—arkingê Lo now there are many whom nat onely the vyces of their frendes and kynsfolke doth vexe but in goddê name they also of their enmys for scoldyng angre enuy folies combrous riualytees â—ar the foulyst spottes of theÌ„ that they be in yet they trouble foles like as the angre of neighbors or thiportunat famyliers or the noughty wyttes of seruauÌ„tes wherwithall I thynke thou be oftymes incued And as it is in Sophocles the phisiciens wassh away the bytter coler with a bytter medicyn so thou nat as aparteyneth the agayn their diseses and yll affectioÌ„s of the mynde art angry and answerest theÌ„ with lyke sowernesse of the mynde whithe thynges that thou doest aâ— nat meued with gode thrifty maners as most metest instrumeÌ„tes but for the most ê™â—e with sharpe and frowarde condicions truly for to correct these thynges whan it is more than thou canst do â—o is it nat esy by any meanes So that if thou caÌ„st vse these thynges whan they growe no nother wise than these surgieÌ„s vse their sharpe scrapynge instrumentes than if thou vse them thus beryng alway with the as case requireth softnesse and mesure truely thou shalt no more vexe thy self with others wantones foly than thou shalt be gladded with the coÌ„sciens of thyne owne affection for thou shalte thiÌ„ke they do it nat without a cause no more than dogges whan they barke do naughtly of their nature or els folowiÌ„g such wekenesse and feblenesse of mynde if thou care nat to be troubled with others ylles they shall disceyue the wrechedly dayly suckyng vp many troubles flowing vnto the as tho thou saâ—est in a low bottome what many philosophers haue reproued pyte with which we ar meued in beholdyng mesurable men thynking that it is thooffice of a good man to socour neyghbours that be oppressed in misery nat to be sorâ— therwith or with slackâ—esse of a low mynde to gyue place to fortune ye and that that euery man wyll say is more they wolde nat suffre vs if we parceyue our self to haue done amysse or to be of naughty mynd therfore to be troubled in our thought to be sory for without sorinesse such thynges shuld be mended whiche whan it is thus consyder well how beestly it is to suffre our self to be any thyng wrath or angry if they that we haue delt with all do nat gentylly kyndly with vs. Truly I feare me my frende leest the loue of our self disceyue vs nor the frowardnes of yll speche vexeth so moch the mynde as we prefer it ouer moche deseruyng of our selues for vehemently as it were with dasyng to be affectionate to certeyn thiÌ„ges and vncomely to desyre and folowe them or agayn to be agaynst them abhorre them no marueyle if these bringe stryues and offences among men whan diuers men take it diuersly outher these to be taken from them or that they are fallen in to the other but if any man as chaunce requireth vseth hym selfe with measure to be aplyable which way so euer he turneth hym he surely lerneth with handsome esynesse to haunt the coÌ„pany of men Nowe lette vs take our purpose that we left of the self thinges lykewise as to them that ar sycke of agewes all thynges tasted semeth strait bitter and lothsome tyll they haue sene other take the same thynges without any token oâ— vnplesaunt sauour whiche they lothly haue cast vp where at laste they ley the faut in themself in the sickenesse and nat in the mete or drinke So we if we consyder other that vse with great vprightnesse of the mynde and mery chere that that we passe nat without playntfull heuynesse must nedes leaue to be so angre with the selfe thynges But truly for to kepe constancy of mynde in aduersite it is of great effect nat to forgete with a wynkyng eye as they say
