You must beware that you take not the More for the Lesse, nor the Lesse for the More, for many times that which seemeth to be the More in number or quantitie, is the Lesse in purpose, and contrariwise, as for example: to beare a hundred weight, is more in quantitie, then to beare halfe a hundred weight, and yet in purpose it is lesse, for it is lesse probable, and lesse likely to beare a hundred weight, then to beare halfe a hundred weight.
