Their vice or impru∣dence is in
Murder: An Earle of Brutany that fauoured Octauy much, seeing how wofully he was fled into Norway for feare of Traherne and the Romanes, which ouer∣came him in Westmerland, & considering in his hot wit, that Traherne being Helens vncle and a Brutan, ought not to haue done such wrong for the Romans sakes to the king of Brutany, but haue rather fought for him, neither vndermined him one way nor other, but with a butcherly wisedome layd violent handes vpon him, and slewe him, that Octauy might returne safely into the realme againe: Defect of inuention turneth a man into a bloudy beast.
Improuidence: Maximinian gathered his riches so vnauisedly, that with them he gathered the ilwill of the Brutans.
To haue is not the rule, but to get well: a mans glo∣rie is not in mony, but the glory of mony is in a man.
