Which is most to be esteemed; - an inventive wit, judgement, or courage. III. Whether truth beget hatred, and why. IV. Of the COCK; and whether his crowing doth affright the lion. V.

of_o the_o action_n and_o custom_n of_o man_n these_o thing_n be_v grant_v i_o think_v that_o truth_n of_o itself_o beget_v no_o hatred_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o do_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o say_v with_o aristotle_n that_o we_o love_v truth_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o measure_n that_o we_o like_v no_o falsehood_n but_o that_o which_o have_v a_o appearance_n of_o truth_n which_o we_o call_v likely_a or_o probable_a which_o make_v the_o romant_n to_o be_v dislike_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o discover_v any_o impossibility_n in_o they_o and_o they_o that_o will_v amuse_v little_a child_n with_o monstrous_a tale_n must_v yet_o so_o fit_v they_o to_o their_o little_a wit_n as_o that_o they_o may_v believe_v they_o and_o so_o think_v they_o true_a which_o be_v easy_o do_v because_o of_o their_o want_n of_o experience_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n be_v imperfect_a so_o far_o as_o they_o love_v to_o be_v praise_v so_o far_o do_v they_o hate_v those_o that_o tell_v they_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o defect_n which_o ordinary_o carry_v blame_v with_o they_o and_o because_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o make_v every_o one_o love_v his_o own_o praise_n make_v a_o man_n also_o take_v pleasure_n in_o blame_v of_o other_o that_o he_o himself_o may_v seem_v more_o perfect_a hence_o it_o come_v that_o dispraise_n be_v very_o well_o like_v by_o all_o save_v only_o he_o who_o it_o concern_v who_o be_v very_o sensible_a of_o it_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o terence_n say_v that_o truth_n beget_v hatred_n especial_o when_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o flattery_n and_o to_o comply_v with_o the_o humour_n of_o every_o man_n which_o make_v truth_n appear_v so_o much_o the_o more_o austere_a as_o a_o countryman_n come_v next_o after_o a_o courtier_n seem_v so_o much_o the_o arrant_a clown_n and_o all_o other_o contrary_n set_v near_o together_o make_v one_o another_o the_o more_o discernible_a the_o second_o say_v that_o this_o proverb_n truth_n beget_v hatred_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o truth_n for_o every_o man_n not_o only_o profess_v it_o but_o also_o give_v testimony_n that_o he_o be_v please_v with_o it_o it_o be_v also_o the_o object_n of_o our_o understanding_n which_o never_o rest_v till_o it_o have_v find_v it_o seek_v it_o with_o no_o less_o earnestness_n than_o that_o wherewith_o the_o will_n seek_v after_o goodness_n so_o that_o set_a truth_n on_o the_o one_o side_n know_v to_o be_v such_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n untruth_n likewise_o know_v to_o be_v such_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o the_o understanding_n not_o to_o love_v the_o truth_n as_o for_o the_o will_v not_o to_o incline_v to_o a_o know_a good_a this_o love_n of_o truth_n be_v so_o remarkable_a in_o all_o person_n that_o not_o only_o the_o judge_n according_a to_o their_o duty_n and_o place_n do_v use_v all_o possible_a diligence_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o fact_n but_o also_o all_o those_o which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o interest_v in_o the_o business_n be_v notwithstanding_o so_o much_o take_v with_o it_o that_o though_o their_o ear_n be_v extreme_o tire_v with_o listen_v to_o the_o one_o party_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o refuse_v audience_n to_o the_o other_o side_n that_o undertake_v to_o discover_v falsehood_n in_o his_o adversary_n tale_n and_o if_o the_o understanding_n do_v not_o conceive_v the_o truth_n it_o never_o remain_v any_o more_o satisfy_v than_o a_o hungry_a stomach_n will_v be_v with_o paint_a meat_n wherefore_o it_o belong_v only_o to_o disease_a mind_n to_o hate_v truth_n as_o only_o to_o sore_a eye_n to_o turn_v from_o the_o light_n wherefore_o as_o man_n do_v not_o determine_v of_o colour_n taste_n and_o other_o object_n of_o the_o sense_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o indispose_a organ_n nor_o say_v sugar_n be_v bitter_a because_o the_o tongue_n in_o a_o fever_n be_v fill_v with_o

be_v please_v with_o falsehood_n and_o love_n to_o be_v deceive_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o of_o all_o the_o sect_n of_o philosopher_n there_o be_v never_o any_o sect_n more_o esteem_v

than_o those_o that_o be_v most_o confident_a of_o their_o opinion_n and_o because_o the_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o can_v know_v truth_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o truth_n of_o which_o our_o
