Nothing Of Worth Or Weight

No Man Speaketh, Or Should Speak, Of His Prince, That Which He Hath Not Weighed Whether It Will Consist With That Veneration Which Should Be Preserved Inviolate To Him.

That Men Should Live Honestly, Quietly, And Comfortably Together, It Is Needful That They Should Live Under A Sense Of God's Will, And In Awe Of The Divine Power, Hoping To Please God, And Fearing To Offend Him, By Their Behaviour Respectively.

That In Affairs Of Very Considerable Importance Men Should Deal With One Another With Satisfaction Of Mind, And Mutual Confidence, They Must Receive Competent Assurances Concerning The Integrity, Fidelity, And Constancy Each Of Other.

Chance Never Writ A Legible Book; Chance Never Built A Fair House; Chance Never Drew A Neat Picture; It Never Did Any Of These Things, Nor Ever Will; Nor Can It Be Without Absurdity Supposed Able To Do Them; Which Yet Are Works Very Gross And Rude, Very Easy And Feasible, As It Were, In Comparison To The Production Of A Flower Or A Tree.

Facetiousness Is Allowable When It Is The Most Proper Instrument Of Exposing Things Apparently Base And Vile To Due Contempt.
