secretes of our hartes and fréely communicate as if we weare alone those thinges which any way trouble vs whose wisdome is great with whome we may talke boldly familiarly without fayling without dissembling with-out hiding anye thing from him A faythfull friend come wealth come wo come prosperity come aduertie is no chaungeling example of godlinesse then by the thing it self doth corrupt the manners of his subiects For the common sorte of men perswade them selues al y t to be well done which is done by example It is the parte of euery Prince and Magistrate that he beware least by euil example he bring a wicked custome in-to his dominion The vertues of the law are foure to beare sway to forbid to punish suffer The precepts of the law may be comprehended vnder these thrée thinges to liue honestly to hurt no man wilfully to render euery man his due carefully Of Innocency Innocencie is an affection of the mynde which will not molest iniurye nor hurt any man An innocent man in respect of a good cōscience contēneth al worldly things A rumour raysed of nothing vanysheth of his owne accorde Innocency may for a tyme be oppressed but it will ryse againe it may be obscured but it will shine againe it may be ouerwhelmed but it can neuer be drowned The remembraunce of a good conscience is a comfort in aduersitie Euery man should consider that hée is borne to helpe and not to hurt hys felow neighbours Of Friendship Friendship is a naturall good-will of well disposed persons caused through sicknesse of manners and motions of the minde fancying ech other for nothing els but only for y e increase of vertue not for any pleasure or profit The kindes of friendship are three naturall friendship Ciuill and Hospitall Of naturall Friendship Naturall Friendship is deuided into pittie kockring and kynred Againe it is deuided into the loue towards God towardes our parentes and towardes our countrey We ought to behaue our selues towards our parents as we would haue our children loue vs. Nothing is more according to nature then to loue thē of whom we are borne No man is borne for him-selfe but a parte of our byrth our countrey a part of our parents a part our friends should not be ashamed to confesse the same Thankefulnes doth consist in truth and Iustice truth doth acknowledge what is receiued Iustice doth render good-will for good-will and one good tourne for another There is no more manifest signe of an vngratefull minde then to dissemble a debt when we are not able to discharge it He is an vngratefull man with whome the benefite perisheth but he more vngratefull which will forgette the same It is impietie not to loue our Parents but not to acknowledge them is more then madnesse That is not well giuen which is not willyngly giuen How much a benefite is lyngered before it is bestowed so much it léeseth of his grace We had rather léese all then long for a thing The gift of an enemie better vntaken then receiued As good it were to eate meat from a serpents mouth as to take a benefite of our enimy in both daunger in both death Hee which receiueth a benefite should not onely remember it but requite the same lyberally and fruitfully according to the nature of y e earth which rendereth more frut then it receiueth séede Pietie is onely a gratefull good wil towards our parents Of Gentlenesse Greatly are inferiours bent to perfect obedience whē they perceiue their Prince gentle and easie to be spoken with-all not scornefull or full of disdaine A Prince shoulde bée for countenaunce so amiable and for behauiour so gentle to towards his subiects as none at any time should goe from his presence pensiue or troubled in minde Of Faithfulnesse Faith is a constancie and performaunce of that which is promised FINIS Neither doth prosperitie manifest a friend nor aduersitie hide a flatterer Of Hospitalitie This friendship of Hospitalitie is deuided into foure parts wher-off one is called a glorious enterteinment of men onely to be thought off an other is a couetous kinde of hospitalitie only for the penny the third is a courteous receiuing either of our friends or straungers the last is a relygious enterteinment of al such as truly without hipocrisie serue God Hospitalitie should be only for the release of such as are pinched with pouertie Of Concord Concord is a tower of strength inuincible against all inuasions The common weale with common aide is defended if men cleaue not vnto parts Of Godlinesse Godlines is a Religious worshipping of God In defending Religion both with others and alone oughte we to fight against our foes Rare few are those men which call them-selues from the world and are taken with an earnest desire of heuenly things With-out the vnderstanding of the wil of God by his word our sight is but blindnesse our vnderstanding ignoraunce our wisedome foolishnes and our deuotion diuelyshnesse Of Humanitie Humanitie is to be obserued of such as will be called humaine or courteous for nothing should be more contrary to mans Nature then to offer iniury to any Humanitie teacheth vs to abandon crueltie to loue cherish one another euen bicause we are men of one nature reasonable by y e reason gentle with-out crueltie not fierce without mercie as are sauage beasts According as man doth excell in riches let him towards the poore excéede in lyberalytie Of Gratefulnesse Gratefulnesse is nothing els but to kéepe a benefite in memory He which doth receiue a good tourne THe giuer of all goodnesse God almightie so assist vs with his holye Spirit that affections may so remaine with-in vs as they doe not raunge and stirre to wickednesse but that they being rather banished or abated and brideled by the Spirite of God we may embrace Uertue which God hath promised in this worlde to reward
