of_o other_o §._o iii_o the_o viciousness_n of_o flattery_n display_v with_o a_o allowance_n of_o decent_a civility_n in_o exchange_n of_o courtship_n have_v propose_v to_o courtier_n for_o their_o chief_a security_n solid_a humility_n discern_v from_o superficial_a civility_n i_o must_v desire_v they_o to_o be_v very_o sincere_a in_o the_o examination_n of_o this_o virtue_n for_o humanity_n and_o courtesy_n external_a do_v often_o so_o well_o counterfeit_a the_o stamp_n of_o it_o as_o it_o have_v need_n be_v touch_v at_o some_o occasion_n of_o suffering_n to_o find_v the_o falsity_n of_o the_o metal_n and_o for_o the_o great_a safety_n of_o this_o virtue_n it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v we_o can_v banish_v and_o eliminate_a out_o of_o the_o verge_n one_o of_o the_o best_a waiter_n at_o court_n though_o of_o the_o worst_a servant_n in_o it_o namely_o flattery_n which_o be_v always_o a_o enemy_n to_o humility_n though_o it_o seem_v often_o near_o ally_v unto_o it_o by_o submissive_a appearance_n for_o we_o know_v the_o first_o progenitor_n of_o pride_n be_v also_o the_o primary_n father_n of_o lie_n from_o which_o all_o flattery_n descend_v in_o a_o collateral_a line_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v always_o some_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o pride_n in_o all_o adulation_n though_o it_o go_v clothe_v in_o never_o so_o servile_a a_o habit_n of_o submission_n and_o that_o we_o may_v see_v how_o natural_o flattery_n issue_v out_o of_o pride_n we_o may_v consider_v into_o what_o a_o base_a and_o inferior_a posture_n lucifer_n contrive_v himself_o when_o he_o cast_v the_o first_o seed_n of_o flattery_n into_o our_o earth_n do_v he_o not_o lie_v prostrate_a at_o those_o foot_n he_o be_v undermine_v while_o he_o be_v flatter_v they_o with_o their_o capacity_n of_o tread_v on_o he_o and_o become_v like_o god_n and_o this_o seem_a subjection_n be_v it_o not_o design_v by_o the_o sublimest_n part_n of_o his_o pride_n which_o mean_v to_o captivate_v and_o subject_v the_o mind_n he_o wrought_v upon_o in_o this_o posture_n in_o like_a manner_n all_o the_o servile_a form_n of_o complacency_n and_o deference_n to_o other_o which_o flattery_n cast_v itself_o into_o in_o the_o magnify_v their_o worth_n and_o excellency_n have_v this_o serpentine_a insinuation_n in_o it_o to_o wit_n the_o hope_v to_o infuse_v the_o easily_a the_o flatterer_n sense_n into_o they_o which_o project_n in_o the_o complyer_n must_v needs_o rise_v from_o a_o belief_n of_o their_o own_o mind_n be_v so_o superior_a to_o those_o they_o be_v apply_v to_o work_v upon_o as_o they_o can_v impose_v upon_o they_o the_o belief_n of_o all_o their_o suggestion_n and_o so_o subdue_v their_o spirit_n which_o thought_n be_v the_o very_a soul_n of_o pride_n to_o conclude_v our_o mind_n to_o have_v such_o a_o transcendency_n over_o other_o for_o no_o body_n flatter_v another_o but_o in_o belief_n of_o be_v credit_v so_o that_o all_o flattery_n be_v anatomize_v will_v be_v find_v to_o live_v by_o the_o heart_n of_o pride_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o first_o live_v part_n of_o sicophantry_n in_o what_o body_n soever_o of_o humble_a verisimilitude_n it_o seem_v to_o move_v and_o upon_o this_o ground_n we_o may_v say_v that_o a_o mean_a parasite_n be_v a_o proud_a thing_n than_o the_o most_o magnifyed_a prince_n he_o humour_v in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o presumption_n on_o the_o excellence_n of_o mind_n as_o it_o be_v more_o spiritual_a be_v near_a the_o original_n of_o pride_n and_o as_o it_o be_v excellent_o say_v of_o a_o wise_a king_n that_o witchcraft_n james_n be_v the_o height_n of_o idolatry_n because_o though_o it_o exhibit_v no_o exterior_a office_n of_o worship_n but_o rather_o disclaim_v they_o yet_o be_v it_o the_o high_a mental_a veneration_n of_o the_o seduce_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o true_a idolatry_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o flattery_n be_v the_o supremacy_n of_o pride_n because_o though_o there_o be_v no_o external_a profession_n of_o self-love_n in_o it_o but_o rather_o of_o a_o alienation_n from_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o continual_a exercise_n of_o the_o supreme_a arrogancy_n which_o be_v the_o flatterer_n valuation_n of_o his_o own_o ability_n whereupon_o it_o seem_v that_o a_o philosopher_n be_v ask_v what_o be_v the_o most_o noxious_a beast_n to_o humane_a nature_n answer_v of_o wild_a beast_n a_o tyrant_n and_o of_o tame_a one_o a_o parasite_n and_o we_o may_v add_v that_o the_o tame_a one_o seem_v the_o worst_a of_o the_o two_o for_o the_o wild_a one_o take_v the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o ferocity_n by_o couple_v with_o they_o since_o this_o commixion_n be_v the_o generation_n of_o all_o tyranny_n wild_a power_n enjoy_v servile_a praise_n humane_a nature_n can_v not_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o the_o exorbitancy_n of_o wickedness_n if_o she_o see_v it_o naked_a and_o behold_v the_o bare_a deformity_n of_o that_o object_n therefore_o to_o make_v this_o conjunction_n there_o must_v intercede_v the_o art_n of_o flattery_n to_o colour_v the_o baseness_n and_o inhumanity_n of_o outrageous_a mischief_n with_o some_o fair_a varnish_n of_o decency_n as_o either_o with_o the_o right_n of_o greatness_n or_o the_o liberty_n of_o nature_n or_o many_o other_o such_o shadow_n by_o which_o sycophant_n keep_v tyrant_n mind_n the_o fierce_a by_o hold_v they_o in_o this_o darkness_n chain_v up_o by_o the_o magnify_n and_o applause_n of_o their_o appetency_n so_o that_o this_o may_v be_v true_o say_v in_o the_o term_n of_o the_o psalmist_n to_o be_v the_o pestilence_n that_o walk_v 6._o in_o the_o dark_a which_o the_o light_n of_o truth_n will_v easy_o assuage_v somewhat_o even_o in_o the_o great_a rage_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n we_o may_v therefore_o fit_o say_v that_o flattery_n be_v the_o oil_n of_o the_o describe_v sinner_n wherewith_o tyrant_n be_v anoint_v by_o these_o minister_n of_o their_o passion_n and_o we_o know_v king_n david_n say_v this_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o unction_n fall_v on_o the_o head_n of_o prince_n for_o this_o reason_n we_o can_v too_o strong_o brand_v the_o forehead_n of_o these_o court_n charlatans_n since_o there_o be_v so_o much_o know_v art_n to_o take_v out_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o character_n of_o a_o parasite_n and_o to_o continue_v still_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n i_o confess_v therefore_o it_o be_v hardly_o to_o be_v hope_v that_o this_o sentence_n of_o expulsion_n of_o flattery_n out_o of_o court_n can_v be_v strict_o execute_v for_o when_o it_o be_v press_v and_o straighten_a by_o these_o reproach_n then_o like_o the_o poet_n proteus_n it_o varye_v shape_n and_o appear_v present_o cover_v with_o another_o form_n either_o in_o that_o of_o duty_n to_o superior_n or_o civility_n to_o equal_n or_o due_a commendation_n of_o merit_n and_o will_v never_o answer_v to_o this_o indictment_n of_o flattery_n and_o indeed_o these_o form_n which_o she_o shift_v herself_o easy_o into_o be_v the_o legitimate_a issue_n of_o morality_n by_o which_o all_o the_o fit_a alliance_n be_v make_v in_o civil_a society_n the_o two_o first_o bear_v order_n and_o distinction_n between_o person_n and_o the_o last_o produce_v fertility_n in_o virtue_n wherefore_o we_o can_v impeach_v this_o commerce_n of_o customary_a civility_n and_o compliment_n for_o there_o be_v a_o discipline_n belong_v to_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o morality_n which_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o it_o which_o courtier_n may_v be_v most_o proper_o
