 1      1, Int  |          make unto your Majesty a better oblation than of some treatise
 2      1, I    |         dignity of learning to be better heard, without the interruption
 3      1, II   |         the worse matter seem the better, and to suppress truth by
 4      1, II   |        for men, there cannot be a better nor the hike instance as
 5      1, II   |         of present times may sort better with ancient examples than
 6      1, II   |      meddle in things that may be better done by others), and then
 7      1, III  |         they read of are commonly better than the times they live
 8      1, III  |         in, and the duties taught better than the duties practised,
 9      1, III  |       great persons, being little better than solemn parasites, of
10      1, IV   |        authors did write, for the better understanding of those authors,
11      1, IV   |         of those authors, and the better advantage of pressing and
12      1, IV   |         as substance of matter is better than beauty of words, so
13      1, IV   |      soliditatem. For were it not better for a man in fair room to
14      1, IV   |        themselves, which have had better intelligence and confederacy
15      1, V    |            that I ought to be the better believed in that which I
16      1, VII  |           as to know these things better than I.” It pleased God
17      1, VII  |           had forty-five years of better tines, and yet not through
18      1, VIII |       commandment of tyrants much better, over people which have
19      2, Int  |           history of nature, much better do they deserve it that
20      2, Int  |    labours be esteemed but as the better sort of wishes; for as it
21      2, I    |      small things discover great, better than great can discover
22      2, II   |           personages that deserve better than dispersed report or
23      2, II   |     history of times might be the better expected, when a writer
24      2, III  |           the world, both for the better confirmation of faith and
25      2, III  | confirmation of faith and for the better illumination of the Church
26      2, III  |          it pleaseth God, for our better establishment and the confuting
27      2, V    |        but I find this difference better made than pursued. For if
28      2, VII  |         them that are depraved no better than the giants’ hills:—~“
29      2, VII  |     physical causes more real and better inquired than that of Aristotle
30      2, VIII |        the cause why it hath been better laboured and inquired than
31      2, VIII |       weapons to fight; so I like better that entry of truth which
32      2, VIII |      which deserved to have had a better continuance; but so nevertheless
33      2, IX   |        philosophy, it is not much better than an empirical practice.
34      2, IX   |          and deserveth to be much better inquired. For the opinion
35      2, X    |    divines, and in every of these better seen than in their profession;
36      2, XIII |    Minervam, &c.”~And if you like better the tradition of the Grecians,
37      2, XIII |         and act an induction much better than they describe it. For
38      2, XIII |           passed, but we gain the better sight of that part of the
39      2, XIV  |      natural philosophy; not much better than the heresy of the Anthropomorphites,
40      2, XV   |      seemeth to me that there are better precepts than that art,
41      2, XV   |       precepts than that art, and better practices of that art than
42      2, XV   |          axioms may be drawn much better practice than that in use;
43      2, XVI  |    thought good to propound it to better inquiry.~(4) Concerning
44      2, XVI  |        these things this sense is better judge than the art:—~“Coenae
45      2, XVII |          For herein Ramus merited better a great deal in reviving
46      2, XVII |      between London and York. The better sort of rules have been

48      2, XVIII|      between London and York. The better sort of rules have been
49      2, XXI  |           is no end of preparing. Better saith the poet:—~“Qui finem
50      2, XXI  |           others that tyranny was better than a civil war: and a
51      2, XXII |           former seemeth to be no better than a fair image or statue,
52      2, XXII |            that it may appear the better what it is, and whether
53      2, XXII |           of them in passage, the better to describe the mediocrities
54      2, XXII |         and deserveth it not much better to be considered. “That
55      2, XXII |         is to particular colours. Better travails, I suppose, had
56      2, XXII |          learn to see or hear the better. For though this principle
57      2, XXII |          or cold we endure it the better, and the like: which latter
58      2, XXII |       mind is brought to anything better, and with more sweetness
