fitte for the proporcion but this much may I say without treason to my Lorde Maiors Mule that theire womanheade is neuer the moore to weare it neuerthelesse to leue beetyme good Lord what haue I donne I crye them mercie I am sure I shall neuer come in their bokes agayn I am wyped out of their Memento I shall not haue a droppe of the milke of theire breastes if I woulde kneele down aske beawtye theire puppye forgiuenes yea muche lesse stand by whan with preatie shril voices the crye fie haue away with this dogge when they haue made a faulte but in hope they wil be reclamed and pardon my rudenes I will singe them a Greeke Fpi gramme which is this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 All vvomen are indeede misledde Yet chieflye tvvoo good hovvers haue The one in chamber vvhen they vvedde the other vvhen they go to graue Whereof springe all these thinges verelye vppon this that phantasie hath perswaded common distinction who once beynge ouerthrowen taketh euery thing that foolish phātasie vpon head perswadeth to be very singular and vseth the same for head stronge reason and this aryseth by the perturbations of the mynde whiche once disquieted altereth the heade dryueth it into straunge quandares estraunginge it often tymes from the Law of nature and procuryng within the same a mortall combate by restraynte of vnderstandinge whyle phantasye fighteth wyth distinction and enfeebleth memorye in such sorte that vneth it is able to entertayne enye holesome lesson or instruction if there bee suche a continuall battayle inwardlye in euery of vs and yet the same necessary for the exercise of our Vertues for Vices are the matters agaynst the which they worke and Vertues before proued Madnes seeyng the straunge effectes of phantasie wee must conclude that neither outwardlye nor inwardly there is ought els but Madnes but fantasie sayth some is natural trueth neither can be without perturbations trueth ney-worketh any thinge but after a perturbated manner fondlye truthe yet it is naturall that is graunted before I perceaue this mā is my friende go too go on Natura agit propter finem truth Nature doth al for some end And so doth fantasie likewyse for it is a singular good and a part of vs without the whiche we cannot be yet we esteeme not fantasie otherwyse then Madnes but whatsoeuer woorketh to ende is reason then fantasie ys reason for it worketh for ende but fantasie is Madnes as is before sayde therefore reason is Madnes and what is more worthye then reason and what is moore prayse worthy then Madnes which thing Democritus considering plucked out his eyes as I thinke and all to studye the better and trueth it ys that studye is Madnes for manye haue bene knowen to renne Madde of studie Qualis causa talis effectus Such as the cause is such is the effecte Thus Ab effectibus studye is proued Madnes moreouer where canne bee founde more anger then in heauen the firste moueable burleth so swiftly about from the Weast to the Easte that if the other circles striued not with contrarye motion from the Easte to the Weste he woulde enflame the whole world and set all a fire doth not Sol and Iupiter in coniunction and canckered slie Saturne or Venus or Mars and some suche Planettes in Domo 2.7 or 9. or such lyke conspyre the destruction of Man and Beast of hearbes and trees of all thinges vpon the earth and of the earth it selfe Reade the Prognosticatoures and yet I reade of three greate Eclipses that are like to be this yere there is the Eclipse of Faythe and the feare of god and that is to common and to bee lamented and deplored with teares marrye the twoo others Eclipses are not so soore albeit somewhat greeuous and they bee the Eclipse of the pot when good Ale is out of towne and the Eclips of the purse when Mayster Vsurer and Cuthrote lyue by the bargaine but to make retourne if anger bee so greate in Celestial bodies and planettes and that naturallye incidente and allowed shall wee not thinke well of Madnes if the lesse be reputed bee esteemed of shall not the greater the Philosopher coulde saye to his seruaunt if I were not throughlye angrye how woulde I tormente thee thus anger you see worketh pacience and forbearaunce whiche is a rare gift in a wyse man muche more then Madnes whiche is the verye extremitye of anger so then to bee a Mad man is to be a wise man and I thinke the philosopher was then Mad when he so sayd to his seruaunt for hee himselfe confesseth himselfe to be throughlye angred Cicero hath a Paradoxe well knowne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That all wyse men onelye bee free men and all fooles Bondslaues and demaundinge of himselfe what libertye is hee sayth it is nothing els but Potestas viuendi vt velis A power to liue as yee list And who liueth as he list doth the pore man who alwayes cōplayneth himselfe of his greeuous miserye and bewayleth to himselfe his most vnfortunate calamities doth the riche man who the more he hath the more desireth and yet feareth euerye houre to leese that hee hath dothe the Ideote who knoweth not howe to order his lyfe dooth the learned who repyneth alwayes at an others knowledge if no man therfore liue as hee list then is no man free if no man be free then is no man wyse for if this be true all wise menne are onelye free then is this as true al free mē are onely wyse but freedome and wisedome booth excluded the rest is nothinge but onelye folye so then all menne are fooles euen nexte dore to Madnes The wyse man speaketh verye notable Stultitiam simulare loco prudētia summa est To counterfaite folye in place is the higheste wisdome the sentence is moste wyse but Aristotles as good 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is better to bee thē to seme to be sayd notably as booth thought wyselye now in my mynde the greateste follye that maye be is Madnes whiche sithence it is the verye ende that all thinges shoote at muste needes be accompted the parfectest of al and I doubt not but sithence the wyse men haue sayde theyr myndes the one it is wysedome to counterfayte folye in place the other better to be then seeme but at the lest if the one haue any defendauntes the other shall haue al folowers and thus wee shal al be extreme fooles that is to saye Madmenne that is to say Wysemen wee shall haue Genus species toste in the scholes emonge the Logitioners Ad nauseam like a Tenise Bale we shall haue sometymes Boares fleshe Bul-beife

of heauen gasers Clocke keepers ayre meaters of a number such like whose ende of studie euerye manne knoweth to bee but Madnes yet are they wonderfully praised and extolled and I am one of them my selfe whiche so doe prayse theym because I knowe they are fooles in moste extreamitie and wil take paynes I truste to defend this litle treatise from the handes and teethe of nippers as proceding from a sincere mind and made of good will in the behalfe of theym all wherein if I haue taken suche paynes as I woulde haue wished then nature and arte then reason and vertue then wyse mē wysedome thē foles of al sortes wil giue their dewe prayse honoure to Madnes FINIS
