wings to flie nor feathers to couer them nor any other thing to defende them and yet the mother in all this weaknes and pouertie forsaketh them not nor committeth them to any other but bringeth them vp hir-selfe how much more ought a christian woman to nourish and bring vp that with hir breasts which she once carried in hir wombe rather than commit it into the handes of another woman who bicause she bare it not can not haue the like tender care ouer it Children are neuer so wel beloued of their mothers as when they be nourished of their owne brests If women for excuse should say that they are weake tender and that they haue found a good nurse I answer that the nurse hath small loue to the childe which she nurseth when she seeth the vngentlenes of the mother that bare it for she alone doth nourish the childe with loue which did beare it with paine Aristotle saith that a childe at the most ought to sucke but two yeeres and at the least one yeere and a halfe for if he sucke lesse he is in danger to be sicke and if he sucke more he shall be alwaies tender All women are bounde to loue their husbandes since that willingly and not by compulsion they were not enforced to take them In like maner if the marriage please not the woman she hath not so much cause to complaine of hir husbande for asking hir as she hath reason to mislike with hirselfe that accepted him The wife to serue hir husband in his life time proceedeth oftentimes of fear but to loue him and honor him in his graue proceedeth of loue A woman cannot say euill of hir husband but she doth witnes dishonor to hirselfe I would counsell women not to presume to command their husbands and admonish husbands not to suffer themselues to be ruled by their wiues for in so doing I account it no otherwise than to eate with the feete and trauell with the hands to go with their fingers and to feed themselues with their toes There is an olde disease that happeneth to beautifull women that there be manie that defie them and mo that slander them It little auaileth man and wife that their goods be common and their wils priuate for if the man and wife in loue doe differ in their liues they shall neuer be quiet The want of magnanimitie in the female sexe is supplied with the excellencie of quicke conceite and inuention The reason why women for the more part exceed men in beautie and good complexion is for that they are an effect of a pure cause namely of man a creature polished and not formed as man immediately out of grosse earth After the creation of the worlde and mankind God preferred the companie of a woman as a comfort vnto man exceeding all others Good workes THey that be old and ancient ought to praise their good workes rather than their white haires for honor ought to be giuen for the good life and not for the white head To praise vertuous workes we greatly desire but to put them in vre we are very slow If I haue committed any euill it is impossible to find any that will do me good but if I haue done well no man shall be able to do me wrong Men are not bound to iudge others by the good nature they haue but by the good and euill workes which they do That man is perfite who in his own opinion deserueth not that he hath and in the opinion of an other deserueth much more than that he possesseth The vertuous ought to conforme their works to that they say and publish their words with their deeds There is nothing more infamous than to presume to be wise and desirous to be counted vertuous chiefly for him that speaketh much and worketh little Our euil worke sufficeth to deface many good works The world and worldly prosperitie THe prosperous estate whereupon the children of vanitie are set are founded of quicke sande in that sort that be they neuer so valiant prosperous and mightie a little blast of wind doth stirre them a litle calme of prosperitie doth open them sodenly death doth confound them Men seeing that they cannot be perpetual do procure to continue themselues in raising vp proud buildings leauing to their children great estates wherin I account them fooles no lesse than in things superfluous Admit the pillars be of gold the beames of siluer that those that ioyne them be kings and those which build them are nobles in which they consume a thousand yeers before they can haue it out of the ground or come to the bottom I sweare they shall find no steadie rocke where they may build their house sure not cause their memory to be perpetuall If men knew the world with his deceit why doe they serue him if they do not why do they follow him The world hath this condition to hide much copper vnder a litle gold vnder the color of one truth he telleth vs a thousand lies and with one short pleasure he mingleth ten thousand and displeasures Would ye not take the thiefe for a foole that would buy the rope wherewith he should be hanged and the murtherer the sword wherwith he should be beheaded and the traitor that should offer himselfe in place for to be quartered the rebell that should disclose himselfe to be stoned than are they I sweare more fooles that know the world and will follow it The ancients in times past did striue which of them could furnish most men haue most weapons and keep most horses but now a days they contend who hath the finest wit who can heape vp greatest treasure and who can keep most sheep They striued who should keep most men but in these days who can haue most reuenues Now it is so that one hauing mony to buy a lordship immediately he is made a knight and when he is made knight it is not to fight against the enimies in the field but more freely to commit vices and oppresse the poore at home What profiteth vs to desire much to procure much to attaine to much sith our days are so briefe and our person so fraile Men are deceiued that thinke that temporall goods shall remaine with them during life I see no greater mishaps to fall to any than vnto them which haue the greatest riches so that we may boldly say that he alone which is shut in the graue is in safegard from the inconstancie of fortune The earth is cold and drie the water cold and moist the aire hote and moist the fire hote and dry The wicked world is the euill life of the worldlings where the earth is the desire fire the couetice water the inconstancie aire the folly the stones are the pride the flowers of trees the thoughts the deep sea the hart The worldlings and their worldly liues are called the world for sinnes they be called the

gaue vnto man was to know and be able to speake for otherwise the soule reserued the brute beasts are of more valew than dombe men Pythagoras commanded that all men which are dombe and without speech should immediatly and without coÌ„tradiction be banished and expulsed from the people and the cause why he commaÌ„ded this was that he said that the toong is mooued by the motions of the soule and that he which had no toong had no soule The toong which is noble ought to publish the goodnes of the good to the end that all know it the frailnes of the wicked ought to be dissembled and kept secret that it be not followed If the body of a man without the soule is little regarded I sweare vnto thee that the toong of a man without truth is much lesse esteemed As the sword pierceth the body so the toong destroieth the renowme There are many which are of a goodly toong and wicked life Wise men ought to feare more the infamie of the litle pen than the slander of the babling toong All corporall members in a man waxeth olde sauing the inward hart and outward toong for the hart is always greene to beare the fruit of euil and the toong always fruitfull to tell lies Time THere is nothing needeth more circumspection than the measuring of Time for that Time should be measured so iustly that by reason no Time should want to do well nor any time abound to doe euill That time may be accounted lost which is spent without the seruice of God or profite of our neighbor Time in all things bringeth such change and alteration that those we haue once seen to be great lords within a while after we haue seene slaues Deceiue not your selfe to say there is time for all amendement for time is in the hand of God to dispose Warres IN time of war princes cannot reforme vices nor correct the vicious They which mooue war or intreat it ought to consider that if it come not well to passe all the blame shall be imputed to their counsell and if his substance be not able presently to recompence the losse let him assure himselfe that his soule hereafter shall endure the paine In examining of histories we shall finde more defamed for beginning of wars than renowmed for vanquishing of their enimies In wars they do naught else but kill men spoile the people destroy innocents giue libertie to theeues seperate friendes raise strife all which cannot be done without hinderaunce of iustice and scrupulositie of conscience Before wars be begun it would be considered what losse and what profite may ensue None are fit for the wars but such as little esteeme their liues and much lesse their consciences If war were onely the euil against the euill there were no thought nor care to be taken but where honor fame glory and riches are taken prisoners it is a lamentable matter that so many wise good and vertuous be lost Iust war is more woorth than fained peace for looke how much his enimie offendeth for taking it so much he offendeth his common wealth for not defending it Women in times past were led to the wars to dresse meate for the whole and to cure the wounded but now to the end that cowards should haue occasions to be effeminate and the valiant to be vicious Men which in peace seeme most fierce in time of war shew themselues most cowards and likewise men full of words are for the most part cowards in deeds Women ANd sith God hath commanded and our face doth permit that the life of men can not passe without women I aduise the youth and beseech the aged I awake the wise and instruct the simple to shunne women of euill name more than the common pestilence Shee that will be accounted honest let hir not trust to the wisedome of the wise nor commit hir fame to the wanton youth let her take heede what he is that promiseth ought for after that the flames of Venus is set on fire and Cupid shot his arrowes the rich offereth all that he hath and the poore all that he may the wise man will be for euer hir friend and the simple man for euer hir seruant the wise man will loose his life for hir and the simple man will accept his death for hir It is great perill to wise women to be neighbored with fooles great perill to the shamefast to be with the shamlesse great peril to the chaste to be with the adulterers for the honorable to be with the defamed there is no slandered woman but thinketh euery one like hirselfe or at least desireth so procureth so and saieth so in the ende to hide their infamie they slander the good Diuers things ought to be borne in the weakenes of women which in the wisedome of men are not permitted I know not what iustice this is that they kill men for robbing and stealing of money and suffer women to liue that steale mens harts Women haue more neede of remedie than of good counsell The beautie of women setteth strangers on desire and putteth neighbours on suspection to great men it giueth feare to meane men ennie to the parents infamy to themselues perill with great paine it is kept that is desired of manie The most laudable and holy company in this life is of the man and woman especially if the woman be vertuous the wife withdraweth all the sorrowes from the hart of hir husbande and accomplisheth his desires whereby he liueth at rest A man of vnderstanding ought not to keepe his wife so short that she should seeme to be his seruant nor yet to giue hir so much libertie that she becommeth therby his mistres The good wife may be compared to the phesant whose feathers we little esteeme and regarde much the bodie but the euill woman to the Marterne whose skinne we greatly account of and vtterly despise the bodie The complexion of women with childe is very delicate and the soule of the creature is very precious and therefore it ought with great diligence to be preserued for all the treasure of the Indies is not so pretious or in value equal to that which the woman beareth in hir bowels when a man planteth a vineyarde foorthwith he maketh a ditch or some fence about it to the end beasts should not crop it while it is yoong nor that trauellers should gather the grapes when they are ripe if the laborer to get a little wine onely which for the bodie and soule is not alwaies profitable doth this how much more circumspection ought the woman to haue to preserue hir childe since she shall render account vnto the creator of a creature vnto the church of a christian vnto hir husband of a childe The birds when they haue hatched hauing but six little ones haue neither milke to nourish them nor corne to giue them neither haue they

seruants of sinne must be subiects of the deuill Pride auarice enuie blasphemie pleasures lecherie negligence gluttonie ire malice vanitie and folly this is the world against which we fight all the days of our life and where the good are princes of vices and vices are lords of the vicious This world is our cruell enimie A deceitfull friend that always keepeth vs in trauell and taketh from vs our rest he robbeth vs of our treasure and maketh himselfe to be feared of the good and is greatly beloued of the euill It is that which of the goods of others is prodigal of his own very miserable the inuenter of all vices and the scourge of all vertues it is he which entertaineth all his in flattery and faire speach bringeth men to dissolution robbeth the renowme of those that be dead and sacketh the good name of those that be aliue This cursed world is he which to all ought to render acccount and of whom none dare to aske account He should beare false witnes that would say that in this world there is any thing assured healthfull true as he that would say in heauen there is any thing vnconstant variable or false I maruell not though the worldlings at euery momeÌ„t be deceiued since superficiously they behold the world with their eies and loue it profoundly with their harts but if they desired as profoundly to consider it as they do vainely follow it they should see very plainly that the world did not flatter them with prosperitie but threaten them with aduersitie fo that vnder the greatest point of the Die which is the sise is hid the least which is the ase The world is of such a condition that if he let vs rest our first sleep that commonly ere the morning yea somtimes within an hower after he waketh vs with a new care Suppose that the world doth honor you much flatter you much visite you oft offer you great treasures and giue you much yet it is not bicause he will giue you litle and little but that afterwards he might take it all from you in one day for it is the custome of the world that those men which aboue all men are set before now at a turne they are farthest behind O filthie world that when thou doest receiue vs thou doest cast vs off when thou doest assemble vs thou doest separate vs when thou seemest to reioice vs thou makest vs sad when thou pleasest vs how quickly thou doest displease vs when thou exaltest vs how thou humblest vs and when thou doest chastise vs how thou doest reioyce As meÌ„ be diuers in gestures so are they much more variable in their appetites sith the world hath experieÌ„ce in many yeeres it hath appetites prepared for all kind of people for the presumptuous he procureth honors to the auaricious he procureth riches and to those which are gluttons he presenteth diuers meats the carnall he blindeth with women the negligent he feedeth with rest and thus he doth baite them as fish and in the end will catch them in the nets of all vices If at the first temptations we had resisted the world it were impossible that so oftentimes it durst assault vs for of our small resistance commeth his so great boldnes The world hath made vs now so ready to his law that from one hower to another it changeth the whole estate of our life so that to day he maketh vs hath that which yesterday we loued he causeth vs to complaine of that which we commended he maketh vs to be offended with that which before we did desire and to account those our mortall enimies which before we accepted as our speciall friends If he did giue any perfect or certain thing we were the rather to serue him but he giueth them with such condition that they shall render it to him againe when he shall demaund it and not at the discretion of him that doth possesse it The world hath no good thing to giue vs but only by lending or by vsurie if it be by vsurie there is no gaine of money but rather returne with restitution of vices if ye aske whether he hath any vertuous thing in his gouernance he will answer that he doth sell such merchandise in his shop and therefore cannot giue that which he hath not for himself If ye exchange any thing with it he is so subtile to sel and so curious to buy that that which he taketh shall be of great measure and that which he selleth shall want waight They which are in prosperitie haue no lesse neede of good counsell than the vnhappy hath of remedy When euery man thinketh he hath made peace with fortune than she hath a new demaund ready forged Man being born in the world nourished in the world liuing in the world being a child of the world folowing the world what is man to hope for of the world but things of the world Man alone thinketh to eate the flesh without bones to giue battell without perill to trauell without pain saile by the seas without danger but it is impossible for mortal men to liue in the world vnlesse they wil become subiects to the sorowes of the world We are now come to so great folly that we forget and will not serue God that created vs nor abstaine from the world that persecuteth vs. O filthy world how far art thou from iust and howe far ought they to be from thee which desire to be iust for naturally thou art a friend of nouelties and an enimie of vertues How much do we put our trust in fortune how lewdly do we passe our dais how much blinded in the world yet for all that we giue him so much credit as though he had neuer deceiued vs. The world is an embassador of the euill and a scourge of the good a nurse to vices and a tyrant to vertues a breaker of peace a maintainer of war a table of gluttons and a fornace of concupiscence it is the danger of Charybdis where the harts do perish and the perill of Scylla where the harts do waste The men that are borne of women are so euill a generation and so cruell is the worlde wherein we liue and fortune so empoisoned with whom we frequent that we cannot escape without being spurned with his feete bitten with his teeth torne with his nailes or empoisoned with his venime If a stranger or neighbor yea our proper brother doe enuie vs we will neuer pardon him though he earnestly request it yet cease we not to follow the world though he continually persecute vs thus we see that we drawe our swords against flies and will kill the Elephants with needles Some I see which willingly fall and some which would recouer themselues I finde that all do complaine but few that will amend Riches youth pride and libertie are fowre plagues which poison princes replenish the coÌ„mon wealth with filth kill the liuing and
