A20028	The defence of contraries Paradoxes against common opinion, debated in forme of declamations in place of publike censure: only to exercise yong wittes in difficult matters. Wherein is no offence to Gods honour, the estate of princes, or priuate mens honest actions: but pleasant recreation to beguile the iniquity of time. Translated out of French by A.M. one of the messengers of her Maiesties Chamber.; Paradoxes, ce sont propos contre la commune opinion. English.

conclusion_n great_a folly_n in_o any_o lord_n to_o be_v displease_v or_o offend_v at_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o live_n but_o rather_o with_o such_o fortune_n he_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a as_o be_v by_o so_o good_a occasion_n discharge_v of_o a_o burden_n so_o grievous_a and_o heavy_a for_o this_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v better_o for_o he_o to_o lose_v his_o worldly_a estate_n and_o dignity_n than_o himself_o to_o be_v thereby_o lose_v and_o destroy_v for_o ever_o for_o drinker_n declamation_n 7._o that_o drunkenness_n be_v better_a than_o sobriety_n i_o do_v heretofore_o so_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v deliver_v unto_o you_o the_o great_a excellence_n and_o noble_a nature_n of_o wine_n that_o i_o may_v afterward_o infer_v in_o what_o great_a honour_n &_o reputation_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v that_o especial_o love_v it_o and_o long_a continue_v in_o delight_n thereof_o and_o albeit_o it_o seem_v to_o many_o a_o very_a hard_a and_o laborious_a enterprise_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o abundance_n of_o good_a word_n and_o well_o convey_v language_n wherewith_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o furnish_v in_o such_o a_o cause_n yet_o nevertheless_o will_v i_o bold_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n though_o i_o be_o unfurnished_a of_o that_o divine_a fury_n which_o ordinary_o work_v marvelous_a matter_n in_o our_o

i_o can_v say_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o proceed_v in_o our_o discourse_n i_o find_v that_o the_o great_a virtue_n and_o excellence_n of_o wine_n have_v be_v of_o our_o elder_n so_o entire_o know_v and_o approve_a that_o the_o high_o esteem_a asclepiades_n do_v it_o so_o much_o honour_n as_o to_o couple_v the_o faculty_n and_o virtue_n thereof_o with_o they_o of_o the_o very_o chief_a go_n which_o be_v agreeable_a with_o the_o consent_n of_o holy_a scripture_n whereby_o be_v autenticallie_o pronounce_v that_o wine_n be_v send_v to_o man_n as_o by_o the_o especial_a grace_n and_o

in_o this_o world_n and_o herewith_o altogether_o agree_v the_o opinion_n of_o good_a homer_n in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o divine_a poesy_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v require_v of_o i_o great_a proof_n &_o assurance_n i_o pray_v they_o to_o consider_v how_o that_o truth_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v and_o yet_o at_o this_o day_n do_v over-rule_v the_o great_a case_n in_o the_o world_n from_o all_o antiquity_n hold_v principal_a consent_n with_o wine_n this_o be_v it_o which_o make_v place_n for_o the_o ancient_a proverb_n know_v sufficient_o of_o every_o one_o that_o in_o wine_n be_v truth_n to_o be_v find_v wherein_o fool_n child_n and_o drunken_a man_n be_v most_o accustom_a to_o display_v it_o wherefore_o i_o can_v sufficient_o marvel_v at_o the_o great_a fault_n of_o learned_a democritus_n who_o will_v sometime_o maintain_v that_o truth_n lodge_v herself_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o a_o well_o this_o be_v great_o against_o the_o advice_n and_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o greek_n which_o evermore_o defend_v that_o her_o lodging_n continual_o be_v in_o wine_n whereto_o very_o well_o consent_v horace_n one_o of_o the_o most_o excellent_a
