Enterueiw of Princes.
IT is almost impossible that two great Lords shall euer agree,* 1.1 for
the reports and suspitions which they haue howerly, & two great
Princes which desire to loue should neuer see one another, but
send honest and wise men one vnto another, who should enter∣taine
their friendships, and reconcile their errours.
It is a great folly for two great Princes (which are in a manner
equall in power) to see one an other, vnlesse they were very yong,
at which time they haue no discourse but of pleasures: But when
as they beginne once to enuy one another, although there were no
danger for there persons (which is in a manner impossible) yet
there hatred and enuy encreaseth. Wherefore it were better they
should reconcile their quarrels by good and wise seruants.
