Of Courts.

COurts should be a patern and an example of vertue to all the rest of the kingdom, being the ruler and chief head, to direct the body of state; but most commonly instead of clemency, justice, modesty, friendship, temperance, humility, and unity, there is faction, pride, ambition, luxury covetousnesle, hate, envy, slander, treachery, flattery, impudence, and many the like; yet they are oft-times covered with a vaile of smooth professions and protestations, which glisters like gold, when it is a copper'd tinsel: but to study Court-ship, is rather to study dissembling formality, then noble reality.
