16       11|    never be without. As Solomon saith, To respect persons is not
17       11|       imperii, nisi imperasset, saith Tacitus of Galba; but of
18       11|      Galba; but of Vespasian he saith, Solus imperantium, Vespasianus
19       14|    giving the pedigree of Fame, saith, she was sister to the Giants:~

22       15|   divine marshal. The Scripture saith, The fool hath said in his
23       15|      his heart; so as he rather saith it, by rote to himself,
24       15|       to that which St. Bernard saith, non est jam dicere, ut
25       15|     this state hear what Cicero saith: Quam volumus licet, patres

31       23|  suspect; and, as the Scripture saith, that we make a stand upon
32       25|         man. For as the Apostle saith of godliness, Having a show
33       25|        wise by signs; as Cicero saith of Piso, that when he answered
34       25|      matter; of whom A. Gellius saith, Hominem delirum, qui verborum
35       26|     Tiberius in a letter to him saith, Haec pro amicitia nostra
36       26|      Whereupon he goeth on, and saith that towards his latter
37       26|       from a friend. Heraclitus saith well in one of his enigmas,
38       26|      fortune: for, as St. James saith, they are as men that look
39       28|         courage; for (as Virgil saith) It never troubles a wolf,
40       28|     preparation against Caesar, saith, Consilium Pompeii plane
41       28|        taking (as the Scripture saith) add a cubit to his stature,
42       33|         rest is but conceit. So saith Solomon, Where much is,

51       43|     most part (as the Scripture saith) void of natural affection;
52       51|      and opportunities. Solomon saith, He that considereth the

54       52|    which doth the good. Solomon saith, He that praiseth his friend
55       52|     speaking of his calling, he saith, magnificabo apostolatum
56       53|        hath any perfection. For saith Pliny, very wittily, In
57       55|      and proper virtue. Cursed (saith the law) is he that removeth
58       55|     parties that sue. There be (saith the Scripture) that turn
