Of Gentlenesse and affa∣bilitie.

21 The vertue which followeth things de∣lightfull in sports, is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, to wit, Gent∣lenesse and Affabilitie in speach. It is otherwhile a necessarie thing: for as the bodie hath néed of rest so the mind to be refreshed with some plea∣sure. Yet must we beware, that we be not too forward in those things, least we hurt, and least that we speake anie vncleane thing. Moreouer, we must obserue the circumstances; to wit, When, With whom, and How; and that it be doone with such words and actions as be conue∣nient. The excesse is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, to wit; when men vse a certeine reprochfull kind of scoffing, when they speake those things that be filthie and hurt others, and haue no consideration of time, maner, or persons. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, signifieth an altar, and in old time about altars there was meate: and then there sat iesters about the altars, that they by their much babbling (which oftentimes was verie vnciuill) might make men merrie: these are said to be rude and rusticall persons. Or else, as they which be pleasant, maie be called ciuill; so these other maie be called vnciuill.
