  3        3|          are apt to contemn holy things.~As for the fruit towards
  4        3|    scissura non sit; they be two things, unity and uniformity. The
  5        3|     truth and falsehood, in such things, are like the iron and clay,

 19       14|          commonly greatest, when things grow to equality; as natural
 20       14|      great oppressions, the same things that provoke the patience,

 22       14|        lost), there be but three things, which one nation selleth
 23       14|          in the world.~Above all things, good policy is to be used,
 24       14|           and when it can handle things, in such manner, as no evil
 25       14|        discourses, they are flat things, and not so much noted.~
 26       15|     which are ever handling holy things, but without feeling; so
 27       16|          knew there were no such things; and in like manner, that
 28       17|        be able to tell them what things are worthy to be seen, in
 29       17|           be brought in use. The things to be seen and observed

 32       18|       things to desire, and many things to fear; and yet that commonly

 35       18|       and without donatives, are things of defence, and no danger.~
 36       19|         in counsel is stability. Things will have their first, or
 37       19| combination in divers; which are things soon found, and holpen.~
 38       19|      seats about the walls, seem things of form, but are things
 39       19|          things of form, but are things of substance; for at a long
 40       20|       beginnings, and onsets, of things. Dangers are no more light,
 41       20|          the execution. For when things are once come to the execution,
 42       21|   surprise may be made by moving things, when the party is in haste,
 43       21|          sad before the king.~In things that are tender and unpleasing,
 44       21|         Messalina and Silius.~In things that a man would not be
 45       21|          may be apposed of those things, which of themselves they
 46       22|          own centre; whereas all things, that have affinity with
 47       22|         the servant, shall carry things against a great good of
 48       23|          if time of course alter things to the worse, and wisdom
 49       23|       least it is fit; and those things which have long gone together,

 53       26|         to cast and see how many things there are, which a man cannot
 54       26|         times, in desire of some things which they principally take
 55       26|    secure that the care of those things will continue after him.
 56       26|          by his friend. How many things are there which a man cannot,
 57       26|          the like. But all these things are graceful, in a friend’
 58       26|           But to enumerate these things were endless; I have given
 59       27|    repair, may not despise small things; and commonly it is less
 60       28|        name than fiddling; being things rather pleasing for the
 61       28|          and occupation. For the things which we formerly have spoken
 62       28|          soldiers; and such like things. But in ancient times, the
 63       28|   disbanding of the armies; were things able to inflame all men’
 64       28|           For it contained three things: honor to the general; riches
 65       28|        and succession. But these things are commonly not observed,
 66       29|         think not to do the same things still; for age will not

 68       31|       for jest, there be certain things, which ought to be privileged
 69       32|         what victual or esculent things there are, which grow speedily,
 70       32|        ashes likewise, and other things that may be thought of.
 71       32|          planters lazy, in other things. For government, let it
 72       33|     honest; and furthered by two things chiefly: by diligence, and
 73       33|          have intelligence, what things are like to come into request,
 74       34|      credit, consisteth in three things. First, that men mark when
 75       35|       and are best pleased, when things go backward; which is the
 76       35|      middle counsellors, to keep things steady; for without that
 77       35|     ambition to prevail in great things, than that other, to appear
 78       35|      whole age. Honor hath three things in it: the vantage ground
 79       36|       MASQUES AND TRIUMPHS~These things are but toys, to come amongst
 80       36|     since princes will have such things, it is better they should
 81       36|          it be noted, that those things which I here set down, are
 82       36|   quietly and without noise, are things of great beauty and pleasure;
 83       36|         there is steam and heat, things of great pleasure and refreshment.
 84       37|      when they converse in those things, they do not affect. In
 85       38|        matter of blood. In other things, the predominancy of custom
 86       40|     discommodities of usury, two things are to be reconciled. The
 87       41|        the experience of age, in things that fall within the compass
 88       41|       directeth them; but in new things, abuseth them.~The errors

 90       45|     November, you must take such things as are green all winter:

 92       45|        the like), they be pretty things to look on, but nothing
 93       45|      with no less cost set their things together; and sometimes
 94       45|   sometimes add statuas and such things for state and magnificence,
 95       46|         and prevailed before, in things wherein you have employed
 96       48|        them that deal in certain things, than those that are general.

100       52|      light and swoln, and drowns things weighty and solid. But if

104       56|         angry; they have so many things to trouble them, which more
