Curiositas.
One of the Court, but none of the Counsell.
Hee'l find you out.
An active man can never be idle.
Take heed what you doe: lest you heare on't.
He that medleth with all things may goe shooe the goslings.
He that hath many irons in the fire some will coole.
Between two stooles the tayle comes to the ground.
Put no more irons i'th fire at once than you know how to coole.
He that will be sifting every cloud may be smitten with a thun∣derbolt.
More precise than wise.
So good as good for no∣thing.
He knowes not when a thing is well.
A right Englishman.

Neither idle nor well oc∣cupied.
You'd mend Magnificat.
'Tis pity that faire wea∣ther should doe any harme.
He knowes what they doe in hell.
If they do ought the whole parish must heare on't.
Cunning is no burthen.
See for your love, buy for your money.
Scall'd not your lips in other mens porridge.

Scit quomodo Jupiter duxerit Junonem.
Canes venatici.
Nihil dulcius quàm om∣nia scire.
Mylus omnia audiens.
Nihil inanius quam mul∣ta scire.
Canis qui duos lepores insequitur, neutrum assequitur.
Zenonium est & lentem coquere.
Noli altum sapere.
Quae supra nos, nihil ad nos.
Corycaeus auscultavit.
Tudiculam expolivit.
descriptionPage 79
Multae regum aures at{que} oculi.
Spinas colligens.
Nodum in scirpo quaeris.
Inferorum triacadas.
Acclamant instar Cico∣num.
Aliud homini, aliud hu∣manitati satis.
Dulcedo cuncta intelli∣gendo superat omnes suavitates.
Novit quid toto fiat in orbe.
Muscarum in morem.
In alienis linces, in no∣stris talpae sumus.
