one_o of_o falsehood_n to_o take_v part_n with_o he_o in_o suffer_v calamity_n and_o not_o to_o bear_v he_o company_n in_o do_v of_o injury_n but_o before_o i_o go_v far_o i_o must_v answer_v two_o objection_n the_o first_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o praise_v without_o flattery_n and_o whether_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o all_o praiser_n consequent_o must_v be_v flatterer_n the_o second_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n to_o those_o who_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o flatter_v because_o they_o think_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v advantage_v themselves_o and_o sin_n not_o they_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o use_v it_o but_o first_o to_o the_o former_a objection_n whether_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o please_v without_o flattery_n this_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o if_o we_o true_o and_o moderate_o commend_v any_o for_o those_o thing_n w_z ch_z just_o deserve_v praise_n our_o praise_n tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o good_a of_o he_o that_o be_v praise_v that_o the_o virtue_n for_o which_o he_o be_v commend_v may_v increase_v in_o he_o or_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o those_o that_o hear_v to_o the_o like_a virtue_n and_o not_o for_o any_o private_a end_n or_o profit_n to_o our_o self_n he_o i_o say_v that_o praise_n thus_o and_o with_o these_o caution_n can_v be_v term_v a_o flatterer_n for_o thus_o saint_n paul_n commend_v the_o thessalonian_n colossian_n philippian_n and_o ephesian_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n do_v it_o to_o their_o good_a and_o god_n glory_n it_o be_v charity_n not_o flattery_n it_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o true_a friendship_n and_o not_o of_o feign_a love_n the_o second_o be_v to_o resolve_v the_o question_n whither_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o no_o for_o if_o it_o be_v one_o why_o do_v s._n paul_n say_v give_v no_o offence_n etc._n etc._n even_o as_o i_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n 10.32.33_o see_v that_o to_o please_v all_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n can_v be_v without_o flattery_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fault_n to_o dispraise_v a_o ill_a man_n why_o be_v it_o not_o good_a to_o commend_v a_o good_a man_n to_o these_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o neither_o to_o praise_n nor_o to_o please_v in_o themselves_o be_v flattery_n but_o may_v be_v make_v so_o by_o their_o end_n and_o circumstance_n and_o so_o s._n paul_n expound_v himself_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o verse_n mean_v that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o please_v all_o man_n in_o every_o lawful_a thing_n seek_v not_o thereby_o our_o own_o glory_n and_o profit_n but_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o if_o we_o do_v thus_o neither_o please_v nor_o praise_v can_v be_v call_v flattery_n more_o than_o the_o just_a reprehension_n of_o he_o that_o be_v faulty_a can_v be_v call_v detraction_n and_o now_o to_o return_v again_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o dangerous_a to_o a_o prince_n and_o state_n then_o these_o deceiver_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o a_o little_a to_o show_v unto_o you_o the_o curiosity_n of_o wise_a man_n in_o ancient_a time_n for_o the_o abandon_v and_o punish_v of_o these_o flatterer_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o may_v be_v safe_a &_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o country_n and_o state_n wherefore_o i_o will_v all_o prince_n and_o potentate_n will_v say_v unto_o flatterer_n as_o christ_n do_v to_o the_o devil_n avoid_v satan_n so_o they_o avaunt_o flatterer_n and_o to_o proceed_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o many_o great_a &_o good_a man_n have_v diverse_o use_v diverse_a mean_n to_o avoid_v these_o it_o will_v ask_v a_o far_o large_a discourse_n but_o a_o few_o i_o will_v now_o name_v to_o encourage_v other_o by_o their_o example_n to_o do_v the_o like_a some_o have_v punish_v they_o by_o banishment_n so_o do_v augustus_n caesar_n and_o alexander_n severus_n who_o be_v so_o strict_a against_o flatterer_n that_o if_o any_o though_o he_o do_v but_o extraordinary_o bow_v himself_o or_o use_v the_o least_o flattery_n towards_o they_o they_o be_v by_o they_o present_o command_v to_o be_v banish_v and_o thrust_v out_o of_o door_n the_o lacedaemonian_n no_o less_o strict_a in_o this_o point_n so_o much_o fear_v flattery_n that_o they_o banish_v archilogus_fw-la for_o his_o eloquence_n only_o in_o a_o book_n he_o have_v make_v this_o vice_n also_o be_v so_o hateful_a in_o rome_n that_o cato_n the_o censor_n expel_v thence_o certain_a fine_a orator_n of_o athens_n lest_o with_o fair_a speech_n and_o flattery_n they_o shall_v annoy_v the_o state_n of_o rome_n sigismond_n the_o emperor_n to_o one_o that_o extreme_o flatter_v he_o give_v a_o box_n on_o the_o ear_n why_o smite_v you_o i_o say_v the_o flatterer_n why_o bite_v you_o i_o say_v the_o emperor_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a nobleman_n of_o moscovia_n who_o for_o some_o crime_n be_v imprison_v in_o hope_n of_o his_o pardon_n and_o delivery_n feign_v that_o he_o dream_v the_o king_n of_o poland_n to_o be_v take_v prisoner_n &_o bring_v captive_a to_o the_o duke_n of_o moscovia_n the_o duke_n hear_v of_o this_o and_o know_v it_o proceed_v from_o his_o intention_n to_o flatter_v he_o command_v he_o shall_v be_v keep_v more_o close_a prisoner_n till_o he_o see_v the_o event_n of_o his_o dream_n suetonius_n report_v that_o caligula_n call_v home_o a_o certain_a man_n banish_v in_o tiberiꝰ_n time_n give_v he_o his_o liberty_n demand_v of_o he_o what_o he_o do_v all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o banishment_n i_o do_v nothing_o say_v he_o but_o pray_v that_o tiberius_n may_v die_v and_o you_o succeed_v for_o this_o his_o flattery_n the_o emperor_n command_v he_o shall_v present_o be_v put_v to_o death_n after_o this_o sort_n david_n punish_v the_o young_a man_n that_o bring_v news_n of_o saul_n and_o his_o child_n death_n who_o desire_v to_o flatter_v king_n david_n be_v by_o he_o command_v to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n wherefore_o if_o prince_n will_v avoid_v these_o their_o undoer_n let_v they_o show_v how_o little_o they_o desire_v their_o praise_n and_o what_o small_a confidence_n they_o put_v in_o they_o as_o canutus_n king_n of_o this_o island_n do_v who_o as_o polidor_n virgil_n report_n 8._o walk_v not_o far_o from_o southampton_n and_o have_v his_o soldier_n about_o he_o they_o applaud_v he_o call_z he_o king_n of_o king_n commander_n both_o of_o sea_n and_o land_n the_o king_n amaze_v at_o this_o flattery_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o show_v how_o little_o he_o be_v addict_v

these_o wave_n from_o touch_v i_o wherefore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v no_o mortal_a that_o deserve_v that_o title_n but_o only_o god_n by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v govern_v wherefore_o he_o alone_o
