an ordinary saying of our Saviours, recorded by all four Evangelists, and is therefore much to be marked. How common is it, for fa∣miliarity to breed contempt? for, men to scorn their own 〈◊〉〈◊〉, because at hand, though never so excellent and usefull, to admire forrein things, though nothing comparable.

Bona a tergo ferè for∣mosissima. Good things are most beautifull on the backside.
