Didicit ille maledicere & ego contemnere, said he in Tacitus, Non tantum habemus etij. P C. said Augustus to the Senate.* 1.1 when they informed him of what such and such had said against him, we are not at leasure to listen to every slight slander raised of us. And of Severus the Emperour it is recorded, that his care* 1.2 was, what was to be done by him, not what was said or censured of him. Do well and hear ill, is written upon heaven gates, said that Martyr. Railers are to be reckoned kill-Christs: words may more afflict then blows, Psal. 42. 3, 10. As with a murthering weapon in my bones, &c.
