A84612	Five philosophical questions, most eloquently and substantially disputed: Viz: I. Whether there be nothing new in the world. II. 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. Why dead bodies bleed in the presence of their murtherers.		1650 (1650)	Wing F1117; Thomason E615_11; ESTC R206547	21,350	36

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

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
