IEalousie 1 1.1 in State, like that in loue, hath a double passion, of feare and hate. 2 1.5 This causeth the pati∣ent to thinke all remedies too weake for the danger; and to apply more violent Physicke then either the qualitie of the disease, or complexion of the disea∣sed can sustaine. 3 1.12 Then which nothing is more per∣nicious either in bodies or States.
Lodowicke Zforza had broke all bonds of friendship with his ancient allies of Naples and Florence. He had knit a new knot with the Church and Venice: these new friends he knew had di∣uers ends to his; and therefore durst not trust them, doubting lest when their owne turnes were serued, the foundation of this late alliance would be sore shaken, if not vtterly fall. Hereupon he resolues and effects the calling in of the French nation: pul∣ling in more with one finger, then he could after thrust out with both his shoulders; to the generall disturbance of the peace of Italy, and to his owne proper ruine, and vtter destruction.

Excessit medicina modum, nimium{que} sequutae
Quâ morbi duxêre manus.—* 1.6
Nihil magis periculosum in morbis, quàm immatura & violenta reme∣dia. * 1.7
Intempestiua remedia, delicta accendunt. * 1.8
Scio Medicos plus interdum quiete, quàm mouendo atque agendo pro∣ficere. * 1.9
Spesso accade ne' corpi pieni d'humori corrotti, ch'vn rimedio vsato per proue∣der al disordine d'vna parte, ne genera de più perniziosi, & di maggior peri∣colo. * 1.10
Se il rimedio non è bastante, non guarisce l'infermita: se è molto gagliardo, * 1.11 non che il male vccide, anche lapersona in cui è il male.
E'troppo nociuo, il prendere vna volta tanto cibo, che lo stomacho non sia po∣tente à comportarlo.
