that his wife Liuia cōming in seyng the case Do ꝙ she that the phisicians be wont to do which when y e accustomed remedies wol not helpe do assay the cōtraries With sharpe ex ecution thou hast hitherunto done no good forgiue Cinna now bewreyed can not hurt thy lief thy fame he may helpe Forthwith he sent for Cinna alone to come speake with hym when he was come he cōmaunded an other chayre to be set for him Cinna sayd y e emperour this fyrst I requyre of the that y u interruptest me not in my tale a tyme shalbe gyuen y e to speake Here when Augustus themperour had rehersed his manifold benefites towardes Cinna how he had saued his life when at his cōquest he was founde amonges his enmies how he had giuē him agayn al his enheritaūce patrimonie how moreouer he had promoted him to an

spake for the moste parte to currye fauour of the people and his wordes were more sugered then salted more delectable then profytable Alexander the worthy conquerour demaunded of the Athens men certayn shyppes to be gyuen hym Forthwith they asked Phocion his aduyse and counsell in this behalfe Surely ꝙ Phocion my counsell is that eyther by force of armes ye vaynquyshe him or be the frendes of the vaynquysher Brefly he aduysed them to denye nothynge vnto Alexander vnlesse they trusted to withstande his malyce with force of armes ¶ Demosthenes DEmosthenes the renowmed oratour of Athens whenne he was spitefully rayled vpon of a certayne felowe Loo ꝙ he I am put in to a contention and stryfe in whiche he that is superiour is inferiour and he that ouercōmeth is ouercommen Undoutedly in knauerye he that hath the vpper hande declareth hym selfe the worste man A pore woman had receyued of two straungers money to kepe with this condicion that she shuld not deliuer it agayn to the one without the other One of them within a while after fay nynge his felowe to be dead came in mournynge clothes to the woman requyred the money She thinkynge his felowe to haue ben dead in dede deliuered it Forthwith commeth the other felowe and begynneth to sue the woman at the lawe She beynge now put in vttter despayre Demosthenes cōmeth to the barre and thus defendeth the womans cause agaynste the demaundant This woman good felowe is redy to deliuer the money that ye delyuered her to kepe but oneles thou brynge thy felowe she can not do it for as thou alledgest thy selfe this condition was agreed vpon betwene you that the money shulde not be rebayled to the one without the other By this witty answere he saued y e sely woman eluded the conspiracie of the fals harlottes whose purpose was to receyue the same money twyse Demosthenes on a tyme sayled to Corinthe where was Lais the fairest harlot then coūted of al women in the world He desyred to lye w t her a night But when she demaūded
