Let your speache be alwayes well sauoured and poudred with salte, that ye maye knowe, howe ye ought to answere euery man.
Let not your speache to them be reprochefull and roughe, but let it sa∣uoure of courtesy and gentlenes, & be poudred with the salte of wysdome, remēbryng that gentle speache rather soupleth fierse stomackes, & discre∣cion teacheth, what, to whome, & with what sobernes we ought to answer. We must otherwise vse our selfe towarde princes and gouernours of the worlde, otherwyse with meane men, & otherwise with lowe persons, after one sorte with suche as are gentle, & after an other sorte with suche as are furnishe, otherwise with learned, otherwise with vnlearned. After suche sorte muste oure language be tempered vnto euery mānes condicion, that it may further & promote the gospel. Some time better is it to gyue place when he whome ye intende to teache, with reprochefull wordes gaynsayth your teachyng, or he whome thou speakest vnto, goeth couertly aboute to hurte thy doctrine.
