THe roote of wysdome is to feare God and the braunche therof, shal long tyme endure.
There is none authoritie of so great a puissaunce, that oppressing with dread may long endure.
Whom men feare they doe hate, and euery man whom he hated, he desyreth to peryshe.
Drede and terrour bee weake bondes of loue, for if that they breake, and men cease to feare, than begin they to hate.
It is more daunger to be dread than to be despysed, for nedes muste he feare many whom many feareth.
