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

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

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
