MAXIME CCLXX.

Not to condemn singly what pleaseth many.

For there must be some good in it, when Page  244 so many are content with it: and though it be not told what it is, yet it is known and enjoyed. Singularity is always odi∣ous, and when ill grounded, ridiculous. It disgraces rather the person than the ob∣ject. So that one will be left alone with his whimsical palate. Let him that is not able to discern the good conceal the weak∣ness of his judgment, and not meddle in condemning at random. For a bad dis∣cerning springs from ignorance. What all men say, is, or would be so.
