them by whom they were preferred and the euill that they doe all men doe impute to them that preferred them Therfore take especiall care of aduancing good men to be Magistrates that their good report may be thy honour and that thy subiects may impute vnto thee the good which they doe For to be praised of the people is better then greate riches CHAP. XXXIV Of Mercy or Almes DESIRE wealth not for pleasure but for necessary vses either that thou mayst helpe those that are in aduersity or that thou mayst giue to them that are willing to dye for others For all other desire of wealth doth not onely not profitt but doth rather procure hurt For wealth which a man hath not to doe good withall is the minister rather of vice then of vertue but that which a man imployeth in good vses may much profit them that haue it both in respect of their soules and bodyes Partly when it is bountifully bestowed on those that want it and partly when it is distributed to good freinds For both are bounty although they are called by different names CHAP. XXXV Of the loue of Freinds NOTHING seemes to be stronger then loue And there is nothing in the world to be valued to a true freind Doe thou therefore obserue the lawes of freindship with thy true freinds in all times and places that they also may hold their loue to thee firme and sure whithout suspicion And be not of an vnthankefull disposition For it is a part of piety to requite them that haue done thee good And he which is vnthankefull is an enemie to himselfe For a good turne being requited is multiplied but being not requited it doth destroy euen the fauour that was first bestowed Therfore if thou wilt be thankefull thou shalt haue many that shall striue to shewe their affection towards thee and many that shall seeke to doe thee gratefull seruice But if thou be vnthankefull thou wilt get noe freind at all with whom thou mayst liue a pleasant life though all men faine freindshipp towards thee CHAP. XXXVI Of Speech and silence BE wise and prudent in learning the conditions of euery one and in approouing good men and in abhorring naughty men But consider before in thy mind whatsoeuer thou would'st speake least that thy tongue running before thy witt thou should'st be vpbraided to speake at randome For in any company when thou hast considered that which thou would'st say is yet in thy power if perhaps after thy first opinion thy second seemes better But when thou hast spoken once thou canst not speake contrary to those things which thou hast already spoken if thou desirest to speake and conuerse so as no man may find fault with thee But the matters whereof it is necessary thou should'st speake are these either those things which thou dost knowe or those things which the time requires But in all other things it is better to be silent then talkatiue CHAP. XXXVII Of Almes GIVE almes bountifully to them that neede that thou mayst gaine mercy of God the Lord of all For piety is properly a giuing part of our goods to them that want And thinke that day lost in which thou doest not doe good to some body in lieu of those good things which thou hast receaued of God Gett therfore the habit of giuing almes that thou mayst receaue againe the like of God Incline thine eare to suppliants receaue with a tender heart and a fauourable eye those that make suites vnto thee Pitty the teares of widowes and doe not reiect the mournings of Orphans For as wee doe to others the same also shall be done to vs and as wee heare the poore so wee shall be heard of God and with the same eyes as wee see the afflicted God will behold vs. Therfore as thou would'st wish God should be towards thee be thou also such towards thy seruants For what measure thou shalt giue with the same measure it shall be measured vnto thee againe CHAP. XXXVIII That all things here are vnstable KNOWE My child that this life hath nothing stable nor firme nor vnchangeable For things doe change this way and that way and like a wheele that is rolled vp and downe that vhich is vpward is carried downeward and that which is downeward is carried vpward Therfore neither be lifted vp with prosperity nor be cast downe with aduersity But be in both stable and vnchangeable setting thy mind onely to doe that which is good and committing the rest to God For when thou art in prosperity thou ought'st not to be bifted vp for feare of aduersity And when thou art in aduersity suffer not thy selfe to be deiected in hope of prosperity For that is pusillanimity and not becomming the courage of a King For that which is to come is vnknowne Therfore neither be thou euer foūd immoderately mourning or laughing For so thou wilt seeme to be wise and may'st escape the euils which doe proceede from both the extremes And they which doe talke of thy actions shall haue no cause to find fault with those things which happen vnto thee CHAP. XXXIX Of Care IMPOSE vpon thy selfe this necessity of hauing a will to ouersee all things thy selfe and not to suffer thy selfe to neglect any thing And this I say because that thou being a King hast noe body ouer thee vpon earth which can compell thee But although thou doest raigne ouer all on earth yet euen thou also hast a King in Heauen If therefore He as being God hath a care of all things so also thou ought'st to neglect nothing as being a King vnder God For as those things which are diligently ouerseene and ordered by thee doe receaue from thence great benefitt so those things that are neglected doe insensibly fall to ruine For if in all matters Litle things are not to be neglected then much more doth that prouerbiall sayng hold in that which concernes a King CHAP. XL. Of Guard HOW sure a guard to a Kings person with the fauour of God is the good will of his subiects when all men receaue good of him and doe expect the suffering of noe tyrannie at his hands But as thou ought'st to preserue thy Maiestie that the treacherous practises of thy enemies may not preuaile against thee so thou ought'st to keepe thy selfe free from passions For reason defineth that from both of them there is feare of treachery and great danger But the treacherous practises which thy enemies make against thy body can bring but a temporary death but the treachery against the soule that proceeds from passions doth procure punishment which ouer-liues euen death it selfe CHAP. XLI Of the Kingdome of Heauen MANY Kings haue inhabited this earthly court but fewe haue dwelt in the Kingdome of Heauen Labour therefore my beloued sonne that thou mayst not onely rightly order this Kingdome by the goodnesse of thy manners but that thou mayst inheritt the Kingdome of Heauen by good workes and vertues For to day
