la quale Iddo lo ha chiamato et non cercar di hauer quello de altri desiderar quello del prossimo posseder quello d'altrui come fanno molti hoggidi Vedete che nessuno vuol esser contento il pouero vuol essere ricco il ricco vuol esser potente il potente vuol esser prencipe il prencipe Re il Re temuto honorato et anche qualche volta ad'orato in tanta superbia é venuto il mondo che ogniuno cerca di esser superiore nessuno vuol esser inferiore I nostri animi sono cosi ambitiosi i nostri pensieri cosi superbi i nostri cuori cosi inuidiosi il nostro proceder cosi fraudolente il nostro parlar cosi lusingheuole che l'huomo non sa di chi sidarsi e nessuno si vuol contentare di quello che ha ogniuno cerca fortuna ogniuno l'abraccia Nessuno si ricorda di Iddio O Dio le viscere del cuore mi si sono per crepare a veder il proceder de alcuni Io non voglio nominar nessuno Gyges was not he a shepherd afterward king of Lidia Tul lius Hostilius of a poore cowe heard became not he a king in Rome Cirus K. of Persia was not he nourished of a bytch Romulus so famous and the first king of the Romans was not he norished by a Woolfe Iustinus frō keeping of swine became not he an Emp. Archi laus borne of a bond woman becāe not he a king yes verily Alexander sonne of Priamus king of Troy was he not norished brought vp by a Beare afterward beecāe so famous and was cause of that so 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 to feede vppon hearbes Howe that Pompey so famous in Rome was not he buryed in the sandes of Aegypt Prutias kyng of Bithmia became not hee a begger Pirrhus so famous was not he slayne of a poore woman in Argos Sifax kyng of Numidia dyd not he dye a captiue in Rome Golias the strong and great was not he slayne by Dauid with a stone throwen wyth a Slynge Iulius Caesar whome Fortune suffered to ouercome all the Worlde and passe through so many and so many battayles and not be hurt dyd not she suffer that mydst the Senate of Rome in his natiue coūtrey amongst his friendes he was slayne with 23. woundes Alexander the great that likewise was vanquisher of all the worlde was not he poysoned of his owne proper Coosin Haue you not readde of R●dophe that of a Common Curtesan became a queene of Egypt Fortune suffered not shee that Phaeton was burned Icarus drowned Acteon torne of his dogges Perithius deuoured of Cerberus that Beleforon brake his own necke and dyd not shee suffer that Agamemnon after he had passed so many and so many perilles in his warres of Troy returned home whole sound that he was slayne of his wife Clitemnestra and then that shee was slayne of her sonne Orestes that Semiramis likewise slue her husbande Minos and then shee was slayne of her owne sonne called Minos Agripina dyd not she kyl her husband Tiberius and was not she also slayn by her owne sonne Nero that afterwarde was Emperour of Rome and after was constrained to slay hymselfe Certainly that wise Grecian called Pitacus dyd vnderstande it when as hee in the Temples of Mitilena 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 Tantalus and neuer are satisfyed Some that sweate to roule the stone of Ssiphus some doo laboure with the burden of Atlas some that force them selues to fyl the buckettes of Belides some that annoye 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 and desire that which is his neighbors possesse that is others as many doo nowe adayes You see that no state wyll be content the poore wyll be riche the riche wyl be myghtye the myghtie wyll be a Prince the Prince a kyng the kyng feared honoured and also sometyme woorshipped into such pride is the worlde come that all men seeke to be superiour none wyll be inferiour Our myndes are so ambitious our thoughtes so proude our hartes so enuious our proceedynges so fraudulent our speakyng so dissemblyng that a man knoweth not whom to trust and none wyll be content with that whiche he hath euery one seeke Fortune all men embrace her None remembreth God O God the strings of my hart are ready to burst to see the proceedinges of some I wyll name no bodye Certo voidite il vero et verificate il proaerb●o di quel nostro poeta che dice Beato é quel huomo che ha ogni cosa et nō possiede nulla et possedendo nulla ha ogni cosa maresta contento di quel po● co che ha Certis you saye true and you verifie the prouerbe of our Poete whiche sayth Happye is that man that hathe euerye thing and possesseth nothing and possessing nothing hath euery thing but abydeth content with that as he hath Certo 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 et in palazi suntuosi et hauer paura et esser in pericolo di molti Certis a fine saying we see vnto how many perils the rich man is subiect vnto he neuer sleepeth quietly he is euer in feare of this and that he is enuyed of the euyll despised of the good honoured of slatterers and feared of the poore onely for his richesse Oh greate thyng as for me I wyll saye as the other sayde that it is better to sleepe vpon the ground without feare and lye safe then
