A good man will be a good Example to others. [ 506]
VVHen Diogenes saw a bungling Archer shoot,* 1.1 he went as fast as he could
to the mark. The lookers on wondred what he meant to do in so do∣ing;
He answered, To make sure that he might not be hit, for this fellow (saies he) ne∣ver
means to come neer the mark: And thus must we do, when we see prophane strag∣lers
starting aside like a broken bow, and roving a great way wide in their lives
and conversations, we must presently run to the mark, that not onely we may
keep our selves safe from the danger of their ill Example, but also we may give
••im as it were to others by our good example, and direct them that they be neither
wide nor short of the mark intended.
