who_o have_v assay_v all_o mean_n the_o wit_n of_o man_n be_v able_a to_o invent_v to_o incline_v his_o majesty_n to_o like_v of_o their_o party_n and_o find_v by_o all_o their_o trick_n they_o have_v

will_v say_v nothing_o against_o they_o therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o against_o his_o majesty_n writing_n and_o upbraid_v he_o more_o for_o that_o he_o do_v write_v than_o they_o do_v for_o any_o

in_o sumptuous_a building_n but_o to_o leave_v a_o monument_n of_o their_o magnificence_n to_o what_o end_n do_v we_o erect_v holy-house_n and_o hospital_n but_o to_o possess_v man_n mind_n with_o the_o devotion_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o shall_v we_o bless_v a_o king_n when_o we_o behold_v he_o in_o his_o posterity_n shall_v we_o admire_v his_o feature_n when_o we_o contemplate_v they_o in_o his_o picture_n shall_v we_o wonder_v at_o his_o magnificence_n when_o we_o gaze_v upon_o it_o in_o his_o stately_a edifice_n and_o may_v we_o not_o as_o well_o be_v ravish_v when_o we_o see_v his_o sharp_a wit_n his_o profound_a judgement_n his_o infinite_a memory_n his_o excellent_a affection_n in_o his_o admirable_a write_n certain_o it_o be_v a_o perverseness_n to_o esteem_v a_o man_n least_o for_o that_o whereby_o he_o live_v the_o long_a to_o value_v he_o more_o for_o the_o outward_a work_n of_o his_o hand_n then_o for_o the_o inward_a operation_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o esteem_v he_o

for_o a_o king_n to_o write_v but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o liberty_n that_o other_o man_n have_v if_o he_o can_v get_v the_o leisure_n to_o show_v his_o ability_n for_o the_o present_a to_o

will_v crave_v leave_n to_o descend_v to_o a_o other_o consideration_n for_o it_o may_v be_v there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o fault_n find_v with_o a_o king_n for_o writing_n as_o for_o the_o matter_n or_o subject_n whereof_o he_o treat_v for_o personage_n of_o their_o eminent_a degree_n and_o state_n must_v not_o spend_v their_o pain_n on_o poor_a purpose_n nor_o write_v so_o much_o to_o

meddle_v very_o spare_o and_o but_o upon_o important_a cause_n with_o polemicall_n he_o shall_v not_o often_o fight_v but_o in_o the_o field_n for_o put_v the_o case_n a_o king_n write_v never_o so_o modest_o that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o a_o whole_a book_n one_o word_n ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la nor_o any_o touch_n of_o his_o adversary_n in_o any_o personal_a infirmity_n yet_o i_o know_v not_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o in_o all_o controversy_n a_o solid_a answer_n to_o a_o argument_n be_v a_o very_a sufficient_a occasion_n to_o make_v a_o adversary_n wonderful_a angry_a and_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o opinion_n there_o will_v never_o want_v matter_n for_o confutation_n and_o in_o these_o replication_n the_o person_n of_o a_o king_n be_v more_o expose_v and_o lie_v more_o open_a than_o the_o person_n of_o a_o poor_a scholar_n can_v do_v for_o as_o he_o be_v a_o far_o great_a mark_n so_o he_o may_v far_o more_o easy_o be_v hit_v and_o though_o they_o

whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o a_o king_n
do_v write_v of_o piety_n or_o devotion_n compile_v a_o history_n give_v precept_n of_o policy_n handle_v moral_n or_o treat_v of_o some_o rare_a experience_n of_o nature_n we_o do_v in_o these_o
