Of Veracity and Flattery.
THere is no better way to glory then to endeavour to be
good, as well as to seem such.
The kindnesse of flatterers is chased away by adversity.
Hunters take hares with hounds, many take fooles with
their own praises.
Wolves resemble dogs, and flatterers friends, but their
aimes are quite contrary.
Flattery is like a painted armour, only for show, not use.
Think not those faithfull who praise all thy words and
actions, but those who reprove thy faults.
Suffer not a talker and slanderer, for he tells not thee any
thing out of good will; but as he discourseth the secrets of
others, so will he thine to others.
Good men must let the world see that their manners are
more firme then an oath.
