A20028	The defence of contraries Paradoxes against common opinion, debated in forme of declamations in place of publike censure: only to exercise yong wittes in difficult matters. Wherein is no offence to Gods honour, the estate of princes, or priuate mens honest actions: but pleasant recreation to beguile the iniquity of time. Translated out of French by A.M. one of the messengers of her Maiesties Chamber.; Paradoxes, ce sont propos contre la commune opinion. English.

gainsaid_a believe_v i_o that_o will_v but_o i_o hold_v as_o a_o matter_n doubtless_o that_o barrenness_n be_v a_o most_o singular_a remedy_n against_o the_o pierce_a thorn_n of_o household_n life_n which_o by_o better_a mean_n than_o this_o only_a can_v be_v escape_v or_o prevent_v and_o i_o believe_v for_o certainty_n that_o this_o will_v be_v a_o sovereign_a medicine_n against_o the_o private_a malice_n of_o child_n except_o by_o good_a hap_n the_o divine_a plant_n call_v hermetiae_fw-la can_v be_v get_v which_o whosoever_o use_v if_o democritus_n be_v not_o a_o liar_n not_o only_o shall_v engender_v honest_a child_n and_o well_o dispose_v but_o likewise_o very_o fair_a and_o gracious_a but_o i_o stand_v in_o doubt_n that_o this_o herb_n be_v lose_v for_o which_o of_o the_o skilful_a and_o most_o diligent_a herbalist_n of_o our_o time_n that_o ever_o know_v it_o or_o where_o be_v the_o hand_n that_o ever_o plant_v or_o gather_v it_o if_o nothing_o can_v be_v find_v in_o dioscorides_n in_o crescentius_n or_o in_o plateairus_fw-la all_o good_a apothecary_n i_o think_v assure_o that_o this_o plant_n be_v altogether_o lose_v for_o our_o time_n see_v by_o good_a proof_n we_o now_o behold_v child_n so_o disobedient_a be_v liar_n tavern_n hunter_n gamester_n swearer_n and_o for_o conclusion_n capital_a enemy_n to_o all_o virtue_n then_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o good_a democritus_n imagine_v this_o herb_n or_o dream_v on_o some_o other_o thing_n or_o else_o that_o he_o see_v and_o know_v it_o after_o he_o have_v put_v out_o his_o own_o eye_n to_o become_v thereby_o the_o better_a philosopher_n i_o thus_o conclude_v then_o that_o a_o barren_a woman_n be_v much_o better_a than_o a_o fruitful_a and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v careful_a to_o have_v such_o store_n of_o child_n see_v they_o have_v do_v harm_n to_o so_o many_o person_n as_o for_o myself_o i_o be_v sometime_o of_o contrary_a opinion_n but_o soon_o after_o i_o begin_v to_o repent_v myself_o see_v that_o how_o many_o child_n soever_o a_o man_n have_v if_o they_o be_v strong_a they_o be_v but_o so_o many_o servant_n to_o prince_n if_o they_o be_v of_o spirit_n and_o know_v aught_o then_o make_v they_o slender_a account_n of_o their_o parent_n some_o give_v themselves_o to_o law_n and_o estate_n of_o justice_n other_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o benefice_n &_o other_o to_o follow_v new_a opinion_n which_o make_v they_o oftentimes_o fall_v from_o aloft_o to_o a_o hot_a place_n then_o willing_o they_o will_v but_o if_o voluptuous_a pleasure_n once_o catch_v hold_n on_o they_o god_n know_v what_o honour_n they_o do_v then_o to_o their_o lineage_n it_o be_v my_o chance_n sometime_o to_o be_v in_o a_o country_n thick_o beset_v with_o barren_a mountain_n where_o ordinary_o be_v to_o be_v see_v a_o infinite_a throng_n of_o potter_n or_o drudge_a penny-getter_n whereof_o daily_o resort_v to_o venice_n a_o very_a great_a number_n so_o that_o when_o any_o child_n happen_v to_o be_v bear_v in_o that_o country_n the_o inhabitant_n will_v say_v as_o a_o common_a proverb_n this_o be_v a_o young_a ass_n for_o the_o venetian_a if_o i_o shall_v recite_v the_o late_a comfort_n that_o child_n bring_v we_o i_o must_v borrow_v the_o word_n use_v in_o france_n that_o in_o their_o youth_n they_o befog_v their_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o when_o they_o be_v great_a they_o serve_v for_o nothing_o but_o to_o vexethem_fw-mi consider_v what_o pleasure_n they_o bring_v to_o their_o parent_n when_o news_n be_v hear_v of_o they_o that_o they_o have_v be_v abroad_o all_o night_n keep_v ill_a rule_n and_o then_o come_v home_o with_o their_o head_n break_v their_o arm_n shiver_v in_o piece_n their_o ear_n cut_v off_o or_o if_o word_n be_v bring_v their_o father_n that_o they_o be_v in_o prison_n for_o some_o battery_n or_o carry_v to_o the_o galley_n for_o some_o theft_n or_o that_o they_o have_v get_v the_o soul_n discase_v or_o to_o make_v amends_n for_o their_o

silence_n to_o shun_v offence_n as_o well_o of_o you_o as_o myself_o who_o with_o very_o ill_o will_v do_v speak_v of_o such_o matter_n for_o the_o exile_v declamation_n 9_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v banish_v than_o continue_v in_o liberty_n if_o such_o as_o be_v mighty_a and_o virtuous_a take_v no_o displeasure_n by_o be_v banish_v or_o send_v into_o exile_n what_o need_v they_o fear_v that_o have_v not_o so_o much_o to_o loose_v their_o heart_n not_o reach_v so_o high_a nor_o their_o mind_n addict_v to_o so_o great_a enterprise_n a_o philisopher_n a_o man_n of_o council_n and_o

have_v therein_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n nevertheless_o we_o find_v leave_v by_o the_o most_o expert_a and_o ancient_a that_o they_o repute_v exile_n to_o be_v a_o honour_n and_o contentment_n of_o their_o mind_n witness_v hereof_o be_v the_o honest_a answer_n of_o good_a diogenes_n to_o he_o that_o reproove_v he_o as_o with_o a_o matter_n ignominious_a because_o the_o sinopian_o have_v banish_v

that_o never_o dare_v come_v forth_o of_o their_o shell_n but_o be_v continual_o beat_v against_o stone_n and_o rock_n as_o hurtful_a in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o want_n of_o courage_n herein_o and_o such_o as_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o great_a number_n of_o privilege_n which_o the_o banish_a have_v in_o their_o exile_n whereof_o i_o will_v make_v some_o bre●fe_a recital_n to_o deliver_v you_o from_o occasion_n of_o marvel_v why_o many_o of_o our_o elder_n with_o good_a will_n make_v choice_n of_o exile_n and_o do_v so_o patient_o endure_v the_o same_o first_o of_o all_o i_o may_v say_v that_o the_o banish_v give_v no_o cause_n to_o other_o of_o fall_v into_o the_o sin_n of_o envy_n and_o during_o the_o time_n of_o their_o flight_n or_o absence_n very_o few_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o ask_v they_o money_n for_o interest_n for_o each_o one_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o poor_a exile_n have_v rather_o more_o need_n of_o their_o help_n than_o hindrance_n wherefore_o they_o may_v without_o blush_v or_o use_v any_o other_o conscience_n borrow_v the_o more_o easy_o importune_v &_o disquiet_v they_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o for_o under_o this_o advantage_n of_o be_v out_o of_o their_o country_n and_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o their_o good_n be_v confiscate_v they_o may_v without_o any_o other_o oration_n require_v the_o aid_n and_o succour_v of_o every_o one_o the_o banish_a find_v himself_o not_o trouble_v with_o lodging_n stranger_n nor_o be_v indebt_v or_o bind_v to_o make_v of_o banquet_n to_o attire_v himself_o sumptuouslie_o bear_v arm_n day_n and_o night_n to_o go_v honourable_o accompany_v company_v for_o the_o credit_n of_o his_o house_n to_o show_v himself_o brave_a and_o magnificent_a but_o he_o may_v well_o vaunt_v if_o so_o he_o think_v it_o good_a that_o when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o country_n he_o keep_v a_o table_n for_o all_o comer_n do_v wonder_n be_v rich_a and_o honourable_o attire_v and_o have_v the_o train_n of_o a_o brave_a cavalier_n after_o he_o beside_o it_o will_v be_v no_o dishonour_n to_o the_o man_n exile_v if_o he_o keep_v not_o always_o his_o promise_n or_o make_v delivery_n of_o that_o he_o stand_v bind_v for_o at_o the_o time_n by_o he_o prefix_v and_o so_o it_o happen_v that_o many_o seem_v satisfy_v by_o acknowledge_v their_o good_a turn_n or_o promise_v of_o pai_v all_o if_o ever_o they_o may_v return_v into_o their_o long_a desire_a country_n and_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o desire_n to_o partake_v with_o this_o goodly_a privilege_n for_o spare_v of_o expense_n and_o to_o deliver_v
