POLICY CII. When you observe any Officer or favourite to expresse himselfe free and noble generally.
TAke notice that two things may set such on worke, therefore they are to be eyed and observed.
The one may bee an ambition to greatnesse and popularity.
The other, a fortifying them∣selves in the favours and opini∣ons of others, that they may bee more able to struggle with the authority they feare.
Therefore observe, Ne benefi∣centiae aliqua specie mali quippiam m••liantur, least what they pre∣tend as a vertue, they use but to colour their vice, for
Gifts are said even to blinde the wise, Exod. 23. 8.
