WHen you deale with some you have beene gratious and kinde towards, make a smoothe and faire though slen∣der and sleight relation of what favours have passed, which being done upon just and fit occasion, and not with too plaine inculca∣tion, cannot savour of upbrai∣ding, but onely of a desire to bring the other in memory of his engagement, and to quicken his future faith in your cause.
Thus,
Jacob told Laban, This twenty
yeares have I beene with thee, thy Ewes and thy she-goates have not cast their young, &c.
Gen. 31. 38.
