Is a most usefull Science. It's as the Midwife to all the happiness of life. It is good for nothing either to give or re∣ceive bad tidings. We are onely to give entry to those that asswage trouble. There are some who employ their Ear onely in hearing flatteries; others please them∣selves to listen to false reports; and some cannot live so much as one day without
some vexation, no more than Mithrida∣tes could without poison. Nay, it is a far greater absurdity for one to be willing to disturb himself as long as he lives, that he may once give satisfaction to another, how closely soever he may be linked to him. We must never offend against our selves, to comply with him, who advises, and keeps off at a distance. It is there∣fore a rational and usefull lesson, that as often as it is put to thy option to please another or displease thy self, thou'lt doe better to let another be discontented, than to become so thy self, and that with∣out remedy.
