Quae supra nos, nihil ad nos.

The thynges that be aboue vs, belonge nothynge vnto vs. This was the sayng of Socrates. But we maye also turne it the contra∣rye way. The thinges that be vn∣derneth vs, perteyne nothyng vn¦to vs. For as we ought not curi∣ouslye to enserche what thynges be done in heuen: so is it no lytell foly narowly to seke what is done vnder the earth. And as it becom∣meth not Iacke Strawe to reasō of princes maters, so agayne it is not semyng for persons of honest hauour to be euer busye in euerye tryflynge mater.
