66 Of the Aire and the Winde.

THe Aire on a time cited the winde before the Iudge and maker of all things, and sayde: O Lord of all things, beholde and take pitie of me, yée haue placed me Princelike inough, for which I giue you thanks, bicause ye haue appointed me to be the life of all liuing things, but heerein I was deceiued, for this Winde dothe make me so colde and intemperate, therefore I say to him, if he presume from hencefoorth to blowe vpon me, I will choke him: to whome the Creator saide: Aire thou sayest ill, though the winde make thée colde and tosse thée, yet he maketh thée holesome and temperate. If the winde blewe not on thée, thou shouldest be corrupt, lothsome, infected and hated of all men: wherfore thou oughtest to loue

him which preserueth thy health, wherewith the Aire was at one with the Winde.

MOR We ought to loue, and paciently suffer them which correct vs.
