IVpiter doth euery wher deserue praise for there is no pointe of counsel, wise∣dome, knowledge, eloquence, and beau∣tye, whiche he dothe not liberallye mi∣nister and geue: so that if you will di∣scribe anye good manne, you maye wel faine him to be a Iouial. And brieflye, if thou wendicate vnto him al vertues and goodnesse, thou canste not erre. For the Iouialles be fullye replenished wyth all those thinges, so much lesse do they lacke anye thinge. To what ende shal I nede to commende and praise their magnani∣mitie, with their large honours and pro∣motions: whē as I saide before, there is nothinge founde to be wantinge or lac∣king in them.
