prudence_n and_o assault_v with_o courage_n and_o kill_v their_o enemy_n by_o art_n not_o trust_v their_o life_n to_o chance_n or_o fortune_n for_o as_o a_o little_a man_n with_o skill_n may_v easy_o kill_v a_o ignorant_a giant_n so_o a_o small_a army_n that_o have_v experience_v commander_n may_v easy_o overcome_v a_o great_a army_n that_o have_v none_o l._n that_o gallant_a man_n have_v no_o employment_n for_o heroic_a action_n become_v lazy_a as_o hate_v any_o other_o business_n whereas_o coward_n and_o base_a person_n be_v only_o active_a and_o stir_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n work_v ill_a design_n to_o breed_v faction_n and_o cause_n disturbance_n in_o a_o commonwealth_n li._n that_o there_o have_v be_v many_o question_n and_o dispute_v concern_v the_o government_n of_o prince_n as_o whether_o they_o ought_v to_o govern_v by_o love_n or_o fear_v but_o the_o best_a way_n of_o government_n be_v and_o have_v always_o be_v by_o just_a reward_n and_o punishment_n for_o that_o state_n which_o can_v tell_v how_o and_o when_o to_o punish_v and_o reward_v do_v not_o know_v how_o to_o govern_v by_o reason_n all_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v that_o way_n lii_o that_o if_o the_o ancienr_n britain_n have_v have_v skill_n according_a to_o their_o courage_n they_o may_v have_v conquer_v all_o the_o world_n as_o the_o roman_n do_v liii_o that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o beneficial_a for_o great_a prince_n to_o be_v sometime_o present_a in_o court_n of_o judicature_n to_o examine_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o poor_a subject_n and_o find_v out_o the_o extortion_n and_o corruption_n of_o magistrate_n and_o officer_n by_o which_o glorious_a act_n they_o will_v gain_v much_o love_n and_o fame_n from_o the_o people_n liv._o that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o advantageous_a for_o subject_n and_o not_o in_o the_o least_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o sovereign_n to_o have_v a_o general_a register_n in_o every_o county_n for_o the_o entry_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o deed_n and_o conveyance_n of_o land_n between_o party_n and_o party_n and_o office_n of_o record_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n whosoever_o buy_v will_v see_v clear_o what_o interest_n and_o title_n there_o be_v in_o any_o land_n he_o intend_v to_o purchase_v whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o sale_n make_v to_o he_o be_v good_a and_o firm_a and_o prevent_v many_o lawsuit_n touch_v the_o title_n of_o his_o purchase_n lv._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o limitation_n for_o law-suit_n and_o that_o the_o long_a suit_n shall_v not_o last_v above_o two_o term_n at_o length_n not_o above_o a_o year_n which_o will_v certain_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n to_o the_o subject_n in_o general_a though_o not_o to_o lawyer_n and_o though_o some_o politician_n object_n that_o the_o more_o the_o people_n be_v busy_a about_o their_o private_a affair_n the_o less_o time_n have_v they_o to_o make_v disturbanee_n in_o the_o public_a yet_o this_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a argument_n since_o lawsuit_n be_v as_o apt_a to_o breed_v faction_n as_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o they_o bring_v people_n into_o poverty_n that_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o live_v which_o must_v of_o necessity_n breed_v discontent_a and_o put_v they_o upon_o ill_a design_n lvi_o that_o power_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v more_o than_o wisdom_n for_o fool_n with_o power_n seem_v wise_a whereas_o wise_a man_n without_o power_n seem_v fool_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o world_n take_v power_n for_o wisdom_n and_o the_o want_n of_o power_n for_o foolishness_n lvii_o that_o a_o valiant_a man_n will_v not_o refuse_v a_o honourable_a duel_n nor_o a_o wise_a man_n fight_v upon_o a_o fool_n quarrel_n lviii_o that_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o find_v fault_n with_o each_o other_o action_n believe_v they_o prove_v themselves_o wise_a in_o find_v fault_n with_o their_o neighbour_n lix_n that_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v draw_v several_a occasion_n to_o the_o point_n of_o his_o design_n as_o a_o burning-glass_n do_v the_o several_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n lx._n that_o although_o action_n may_v be_v prudent_o design_v and_o valiant_o perform_v yet_o none_o can_v warrant_v the_o issue_n for_o fortune_n be_v more_o powerful_a than_o prudence_n and_o have_v caesar_n not_o be_v fortunate_a his_o valour_n and_o prudence_n will_v never_o have_v gain_v he_o so_o much_o applause_n lxi_o that_o ill_a fortune_n make_v wise_a and_o honest_a man_n seem_v fool_n and_o kanve_n but_o good_a fortune_n make_v fool_n and_o knave_n seem_v wise_a and_o honest_a man_n lxii_o that_o ill_a fortune_n do_v often_o succeed_v good_a then_o good_a fortune_n succeed_v ill_a for_o those_o that_o have_v ill_a fortune_n do_v not_o so_o easy_o recover_v it_o as_o those_o that_o have_v good_a fortune_n be_v apt_a to_o lose_v it_o lxiii_o that_o he_o have_v observe_v that_o seldom_o any_o person_n do_v laugh_v but_o it_o be_v at_o the_o folly_n or_o misfortune_n of_o other_o man_n by_o which_o we_o may_v judge_n of_o their_o good_a nature_n lxiv_o i_o have_v hear_v my_o lord_n say_v that_o when_o he_o be_v in_o banishment_n he_o have_v nothing_o leave_v he_o but_o a_o clear_a conscience_n by_o which_o he_o have_v and_o do_v still_o conquer_v all_o the_o army_n of_o misfortune_n that_o ever_o seize_v upon_o he_o lxv_o also_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v never_o behold_v to_o lady_n fortune_n for_o he_o have_v suffer_v on_o both_o side_n although_o he_o never_o be_v but_o on_o one_o side_n lxvi_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o his_o father_n one_o time_n upon_o some_o discourse_n of_o expense_n shall_v tell_v he_o it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v his_o time_n lxvii_o i_o have_v hear_v my_o lord_n say_v that_o bold_a solicit_n and_o intrude_a man_n shall_v gain_v more_o by_o their_o importunate_a petition_n then_o modest_a honest_a man_n shall_v get_v by_o silence_n as_o be_v loath_a to_o offend_v or_o be_v too_o troublesome_a both_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o matter_n of_o their_o request_n the_o reason_n be_v say_v he_o that_o great_a prince_n will_v rather_o grant_v sometime_o a_o unreasonable_a suit_n then_o be_v tire_v with_o frequent_a petition_n and_o hinder_v from_o their_o ordinary_a pleasure_n and_o when_o i_o ask_v my_o lord_n whether_o the_o grant_n of_o such_o importunate_a suit_n be_v fit_o and_o proper_o place_v he_o answer_v not_o so_o well_o as_o those_o that_o be_v place_v upon_o due_a consideration_n and_o upon_o trial_n and_o proof_n lxviii_o i_o have_v hear_v my_o lord_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n and_o weak_a policy_n in_o a_o state_n to_o advance_v their_o enemy_n and_o endeavour_v to_o make_v they_o friend_n by_o bribe_v they_o with_o honour_n and_o office_n say_v they_o be_v shrewd_a man_n and_o may_v do_v the_o state_n much_o hurt_v and_o on_o the_o otherside_n to_o neglect_v their_o friend_n and_o those_o that_o have_v do_v they_o great_a service_n say_v they_o be_v honest_a man_n and_o mean_v the_o state_n no_o harm_n for_o this_o kind_n of_o policy_n come_v from_o the_o heathen_a who_o pray_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o to_o god_n by_o reason_n they_o suppose_v god_n be_v good_a and_o will_v hurt_v no_o creature_n but_o the_o devil_n they_o flatter_v and_o worship_v out_o of_o fear_n lest_o he_o shall_v hurt_v they_o but_o by_o this_o foolish_a policy_n say_v he_o they_o most_o common_o increase_v their_o enemy_n and_o lose_v their_o friend_n for_o first_o it_o teach_v man_n to_o observe_v that_o the_o only_a way_n to_o preferment_n be_v to_o be_v against_o the_o state_n or_o government_n next_o since_o all_o that_o be_v factious_a can_v be_v reward_v or_o prefer_v by_o reason_n a_o state_n have_v more_o subject_n than_o reward_n or_o preferment_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v numerous_a enemy_n for_o when_o their_o hope_n of_o reward_n fail_v they_o they_o grow_v more_o factious_a and_o inveterate_a then_o ever_o they_o be_v at_o first_o wherefore_o the_o best_a policy_n in_o a_o state_n or_o government_n say_v my_o lord_n be_v to_o reward_v friend_n and_o punish_v enemy_n and_o prefer_v the_o honest_a before_o the_o factious_a and_o then_o all_o will_v be_v real_a friend_n and_o proffer_n their_o honest_a service_n either_o out_o of_o pure_a love_n and_o loyalty_n or_o in_o hope_n of_o advancement_n see_v there_o be_v none_o but_o by_o serve_v the_o state_n lxix_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v several_a time_n that_o his_o love_n to_o his_o gracious_a master_n king_n charles_n the_o second_o be_v above_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v to_o his_o wife_n child_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n nay_o to_o his_o own_o life_n and_o when_o since_o his_o return_n into_o england_n i_o answer_v he_o that_o i_o observe_v his_o gracious_a master_n do_v not_o love_v he_o so_o well_o as_o he_o love_v he_o

to_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o by_o reason_n they_o will_v themselves_o confess_v it_o if_o strict_o examine_v to_o which_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o though_o for_o his_o part_n he_o care_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v witch_n or_o no_o yet_o his_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o confession_n of_o witch_n and_o their_o suffering_n for_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o erroneous_a belief_n viz._n that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o contract_n with_o the_o devil_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o such_o reward_n as_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o give_v they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v their_o religion_n to_o worship_n and_o adore_v he_o in_o which_o religion_n they_o have_v such_o a_o firm_a and_o constant_a belief_n that_o if_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o their_o desire_n they_o believe_v the_o devil_n have_v hear_v their_o prayer_n and_o grant_v their_o request_n for_o which_o they_o give_v he_o thanks_o but_o if_o thing_n fall_v out_o contrary_a to_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n than_o they_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o fear_v they_o have_v offend_v he_o or_o not_o serve_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n for_o their_o offence_n also_o say_v my_o lord_n they_o imagine_v that_o their_o dream_n be_v real_a exterior_a action_n for_o example_n if_o they_o dream_v they_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n or_o out_o of_o the_o chimney_n top_n or_o that_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o several_a shape_n they_o believe_v no_o otherwise_o but_o that_o it_o be_v real_o so_o and_o this_o wicked_a opinion_n make_v they_o industrious_a to_o perform_v such_o ceremony_n to_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o adore_v and_o worship_v he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o choose_v to_o live_v and_o die_v for_o he_o thus_o my_o lord_n declare_v himself_o concern_v witches_n which_o mr._n hobbes_n be_v also_o please_v to_o insert_v in_o his_o forementioned_a book_n but_o yet_o my_o lord_n do_v not_o count_v this_o opinion_n of_o his_o so_o universal_a as_o if_o there_o be_v none_o but_o imaginary_a witch_n for_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v but_o of_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o witch_n as_o make_v it_o their_o religion_n to_o worship_v the_o devil_n in_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a nor_o do_v he_o think_v it_o a_o crime_n to_o entertain_v what_o opinion_n seem_v most_o probable_a to_o he_o in_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o in_o such_o case_n man_n may_v discourse_v and_o argue_v as_o they_o please_v to_o exercise_v their_o wit_n and_o may_v change_v and_o alter_v their_o opinion_n upon_o more_o probable_a ground_n and_o reason_n whereas_o in_o fundamental_a matter_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n he_o be_v so_o strict_a a_o adherent_a to_o they_o that_o he_o will_v never_o maintain_v or_o defend_v such_o opinion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o least_o prejudicial_a to_o either_o one_o proof_n more_o i_o will_v add_v to_o confirm_v his_o natural_a understanding_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v upon_o some_o discourse_n i_o hold_v with_o he_o one_o time_n concern_v that_o famous_a chemist_n van_n helmont_n who_o in_o his_o write_n be_v very_o invective_n against_o the_o schoolman_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n accuse_v they_o for_o take_v the_o radical_a moisture_n for_o the_o fat_a of_o animal_n body_n whereupon_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o sure_o the_o schoolman_n man_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o commit_v such_o a_o error_n for_o say_v he_o the_o radical_a moisture_n be_v not_o the_o fat_a or_o tallow_n of_o a_o animal_n but_o a_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a substance_n for_o the_o fat_a and_o tallow_n as_o also_o the_o watery_a part_n be_v cold_a whereas_o the_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a part_n have_v at_o all_o time_n a_o lively_a heat_n which_o make_v that_o those_o creature_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n be_v long-lived_a and_o appear_v young_a and_o not_o only_a animal_n but_o also_o vegetable_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n as_o ivy_n bayes_n laurel_n holly_n and_o the_o like_a live_v long_o and_o appear_v fresh_a and_o green_a not_o only_o in_o winter_n but_o when_o they_o be_v old_a then_o i_o ask_v my_o lord_n opinion_n concern_v the_o radical_a heat_n to_o which_o he_o answer_v that_o the_o radical_a heat_n live_v in_o the_o radical_a moisture_n and_o when_o the_o one_o decay_a the_o other_o decay_v also_o and_o then_o be_v produce_v either_o a_o unnatural_a heat_n which_o cause_v a_o unnatural_a dryness_n or_o a_o unnatural_a moisture_n which_o cause_v dropsy_n and_o these_o a_o unnatural_a coldness_n last_o his_o natural_a wit_n appear_v by_o his_o delight_n in_o poetry_n for_o i_o may_v just_o call_v he_o the_o best_a lyric_a and_o dramatic_a poet_n of_o this_o age_n his_o comedy_n do_v sufficient_o show_v his_o great_a observation_n and_o judgement_n for_o they_o be_v compose_v of_o these_o three_o ingredient_n viz._n wit_n humour_n and_o satire_n and_o his_o chief_a design_n in_o they_o be_v to_o divulge_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o folly_n of_o mankind_n to_o persecute_v vice_n and_o to_o encourage_v virtue_n 10._o of_o his_o natural_a humour_n and_o disposition_n my_o lord_n may_v just_o be_v compare_v to_o titus_n the_o deliciae_fw-la of_o
