WHO would intitle AEneas by the name of pious,* 1.1 if hee would haue his Countrie sacked, to the end he might deliuer his Father from captiuitie? who would not imagine the yong men of Sicily vnnaturall, if to shew good example to their children, they had wished that AEtna burning with an vnmeasurable force of fire a∣boue
custome should giue them occasion to expresse their pieti•• by carrying a∣way their Fathers out of the midst of the fire. Rome is nothing indebted vnto Scipio, if hee wished the continuance of the Carthaginian warres: nor be∣holding to the Decians who saued their Countrie by their owne slaughter, if they had formerly wished that extreame necessitie should make place for their constant deuotion. It is the greatest disgrace for a Physition that may bee, to wish for busines. Many who increased and exasperated diseases, to the end they might cure them with greater glorie, could not afterwardes expell them, or to the great agonie and vexation of the miserable patients, haue at last ouercome them.
The precedent reasons are con∣firmed by ex∣ample.
