[ 560] Truth seeks no corners.
LUcullus a Noble Roman, being told by one, that he vvould build an house for
him,* 1.1 in such a manner, that none should see vvhat he did, and yet he should
have a good prospect out of it, and see all men; the ansvver vvhich Lucullus made
vvas this, That he had rather he could make him such a house, wherein all might see what
he did, and so know what he was: and most certain it is, that Truth, though naked,
seeks no corners vvherein to hide it self,* 1.2 and they onely dwell in such houses men∣tioned
by 〈◊〉〈◊〉, all vvhose actions being done in truth and sincerity of heart, are
as it vvere, so many windows, vvhich openly shew, and make known to all the world
vvhat they are indeed.
