eye_n as_o their_o felicity_n seek_v to_o defend_v itself_o by_o reason_n which_o although_o they_o be_v altogether_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a yet_o of_o great_a weight_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o

but_o only_o glance_v at_o the_o superfluity_n of_o this_o our_o present_a age_n wherein_o all_o kind_n of_o excess_n riot_n welter_v in_o pleasure_n curiosity_n in_o apparel_n perfume_n frizzle_a of_o hair_n not_o use_v so_o much_o among_o woman_n as_o practise_v daily_o among_o vain_a man_n shall_v i_o speak_v here_o what_o intemperance_n be_v use_v in_o diet_n what_o curious_a dish_n

both_o in_o meat_n and_o drink_n it_o be_v to_o much_o for_o i_o to_o tell_v and_o to_o shameful_a for_o you_o to_o hear_v in_o the_o first_o age_n the_o hebrews_n use_v to_o eat_v but_o once_o a_o

servile_a demeanour_n not_o fit_a for_o a_o honest_a mind_n to_o apply_v itself_o unto_o true_a honour_n indeed_o be_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n to_o be_v achieve_v then_o by_o virtuous_a indevoure_v as_o for_o those_o honour_n that_o depend_v upon_o the_o bare_a opinion_n of_o prince_n as_o they_o take_v their_o begin_n without_o desert_n so_o they_o have_v their_o end_n again_o at_o a_o instant_n but_o as_o i_o have_v gather_v by_o this_o soldier_n martianus_n in_o a_o discourse_n that_o he_o make_v before_o we_o come_v to_o this_o place_n prince_n that_o be_v constrain_v to_o rely_v on_o other_o man_n report_n must_v use_v great_a diligence_n to_o discern_v flatterer_n and_o disguiser_n of_o matter_n and_o must_v likewise_o use_v no_o less_o circumspection_n in_o bestow_v of_o office_n and_o give_v reward_n prince_n many_o time_n give_v preferment_n to_o their_o friend_n to_o recompense_v their_o friendship_n other_o while_n to_o their_o servant_n to_o requite_v their_o service_n and_o although_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o many_o prince_n do_v err_v in_o distribute_v their_o office_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o err_v for_o that_o they_o will_v err_v yea_o and_o many_o time_n it_o be_v see_v in_o case_n of_o promotion_n high_a office_n and_o dignity_n be_v rather_o buy_v with_o money_n then_o deserve_v by_o virtue_n where_o in_o time_n past_a there_o be_v no_o man_n arear_v to_o honour_n but_o he_o that_o deserve_v it_o in_o former_a adge_n man_n ofscience_n be_v search_v for_o in_o strange_a country_n but_o now_o though_o they_o knock_v at_o our_o gate_n they_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o enter_v no_o our_o corruption_n and_o custom_n draw_v we_o to_o other_o delight_n this_o court_n in_o elder_a adge_n be_v count_v a_o receptacle_n of_o wise_a man_n but_o now_o the_o common_a harbour_n for_o parasite_n and_o flatterer_n but_o as_o no_o vermin_n breed_v where_o they_o find_v no_o warmth_n no_o vulture_n stoop_v where_o they_o smell_v no_o prey_n no_o fly_n swarm_v where_o they_o see_v no_o flesh_n no_o pilgrim_n creep_v where_o there_o be_v no_o cross_n so_o there_o be_v no_o parasit_fw-la will_v lurk_v where_o he_o find_v no_o gain_n and_o therefore_o do_v flatterer_n praise_v we_o because_o they_o will_v price_n we_o but_o i_o wonder_v that_o these_o great_a man_n that_o have_v authority_n in_o the_o court_n of_o prince_n shall_v be_v so_o general_o seduce_v by_o flatterer_n and_o so_o usual_o carry_v away_o by_o these_o creep_a parasite_n but_o be_v instruct_v as_o i_o be_o i_o doubt_n not_o but_o ere_o many_o day_n past_a i_o will_v so_o scour_v that_o rabble_n from_o out_o of_o this_o court_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o seeeke_v a_o new_a haunt_n pretermit_v many_o other_o folly_n entertain_v in_o the_o court_n i_o will_v conclude_v with_o this_o example_n use_v by_o alexander_n severus_n as_o a_o caviat_fw-la to_o courtier_n this_o good_a emperor_n have_v a_o servant_n who_o he_o much_o favour_v but_o he_o abuse_v his_o master_n courtesy_n take_v great_a bribe_n of_o poor_a suitor_n promise_v they_o to_o befriende_n they_o in_o their_o request_n but_o the_o emperor_n bind_v he_o to_o a_o post_n cause_v he_o to_o be_v chook_v with_o smoke_n make_v proclamation_n that_o they_o that_o sell_v smoke_n shall_v die_v with_o smoke_n if_o all_o the_o smoke_n seller_n in_o every_o prince_n court_n be_v thus_o reward_v and_o all_o the_o parrasite_n in_o like_a manner_n banish_v i_o think_v the_o court_n of_o prince_n will_v not_o be_v so_o full_o replenish_v nor_o every_o great-man_n so_o mighty_o follow_v the_o one_o and_o twenty_o chapter_n the_o king_n proceed_v in_o his_o discourse_n what_o vice_n he_o have_v note_v in_o the_o country_n but_o do_v you_o think_v that_o where_o the_o court_n be_v
