Foelix, qui nihil debet.
Happye is he, that oweth no∣thynge. Thys prouerbe he shall fynde true and true agayne, which ones hath tasted what it is to be indebted. He that hath not tasted, let hym rede Plutarch, and howe wretched a thynge it is to owe, he shal easely espie. For what is more miserable, then so ofte to be asha∣med, so ofte to flee thy creditours syght, to hyde thy self, to lye, to dis∣semble,
nowe lamētably to submyt thy selfe, now to fall to entreatye, now openlye to be called vpon in courtes, to be shunned, to be gased vpon, to be marked wyth the fyn∣ger as thou passest by, and shortly to cōclude, not to be thyn own mā, nor vnder thyne owne power. For all these and wyth these many o∣ther incōmodities doth debt bring wyth it.
Plutarche de vitandis Vsuris.
