[ 1256] How to bear the Reproaches of Men.
DIonysius having not very well used Plato at the Court,* 1.1 when he was gone,
he feared lest he should write against him, and therefore sent after him,
to bid him have a care, how he set out any thing prejudiciall unto him: Tell
him, sayes Plato, I have not so much leisure as to think upon him. So we should
let those that reproach us know so much from us, that we have not leisure to
think of them; and though we should not be insensible, yet not to take too
much notice of every Reproach that is cast upon us;* 1.2 but as when the Viper came
upon S. Paul's hand, he shook it off; so when Reproaches come upon our good
names or credits, shake them off; For it is a dishonour to think upon them, as
if we had nothing else to do.
