be_v think_v abase_v of_o his_o state_n or_o countenance_n if_o he_o be_v not_o before_o in_o prosperity_n and_o favour_v of_o fortune_n so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o never_o no_o man_n in_o this_o world_n be_v so_o free_a as_o he_o that_o never_o suffer_v fortune_n to_o enter_v into_o his_o gate_n i_o have_v be_v desirous_a to_o tell_v you_o of_o these_o thing_n because_o that_o such_o as_o be_v in_o favour_n and_o credyt_n with_o prince_n shall_v not_o reckon_v too_o much_o of_o their_o favour_n neither_o that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o in_o favour_n with_o they_o shall_v be_v sorry_a for_o it_o a_o whit_n for_o the_o great_a authority_n and_o credyt_n that_o a_o man_n have_v by_o the_o court_n be_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n in_o the_o end_n nothing_o else_o then_o as_o a_o little_a worm_n in_o a_o appell_n a_o wyvell_n yn_v the_o corn_n and_o a_o maggot_n in_o pease_n which_o without_o seem_v very_o good_a and_o within_o they_o be_v all_o rot_a and_o eat_v prince_n authority_n above_o all_o other_o be_v most_o supreme_a for_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o censor_n and_o judge_n to_o reproove_v they_o of_o their_o word_n and_o say_n neither_o to_o magistrate_n to_o who_o they_o shall_v render_v any_o account_n of_o their_o do_n whereof_o proceed_v that_o as_o they_o have_v free_a will_n to_o love_n so_o have_v they_o a_o free_a liberty_n to_o hate_v and_o absolute_a power_n to_o punish_v therefore_o those_o that_o be_v in_o favour_n in_o court_n and_o that_o shall_v read_v these_o writing_n of_o i_o must_v well_o consider_v what_o we_o mean_v by_o all_o those_o thing_n we_o have_v speak_v whereby_o they_o shall_v easy_o know_v that_o prince_n be_v no_o less_o apt_a to_o hate_v he_o to_o day_n they_o love_v yesterday_o then_o to_o love_v he_o to_o morrow_n who_o they_o hate_v the_o other_o day_n the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n the_o courtier_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v to_o fear_v god_n and_o to_o follow_v the_o profession_n of_o a_o good_a christyan_n for_o in_o the_o end_n they_o live_v in_o court_n with_o more_o safety_n have_v a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n then_o with_o all_o the_o great_a credit_n and_o favour_n they_o can_v have_v and_o therefore_o let_v every_o courtier_n believe_v i_o aswell_o in_o favour_n as_o out_o of_o favour_n that_o it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o sure_a way_n to_o get_v the_o good_n of_o this_o world_n as_o also_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o esteem_v and_o make_v account_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o god_n commandment_n and_o if_o he_o do_v otherwise_o it_o shall_v happen_v many_o time_n unto_o he_o that_o in_o the_o dispatch_n of_o his_o weighty_a affair_n and_o needful_a business_n even_o when_o he_o thynk_v his_o matter_n bring_v to_o a_o good_a end_n and_o that_o it_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n of_o dispatch_v then_o step_n in_o crooked_a fortune_n with_o her_o wont_a poison_n against_o he_o &_o either_o make_v he_o in_o manner_n beegynne_v his_o suyt_n anew_o again_o or_o at_o least_o utter_o overthrow_v it_o quite_o for_o there_o be_v in_o prince_n court_n many_o time_n certeyn_v suit_n that_o have_v a_o good_a and_o better_a end_n than_o look_v for_o and_o contrary_o many_o other_o that_o be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o dispatching_n and_o yet_o by_o synister_n accident_n clean_o overthrow_v and_o succeed_v contrary_a to_o their_o assure_a expectation_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v to_o the_o suitor_n that_o the_o cause_n hereof_o come_v either_o through_o the_o solicitor_n negligence_n and_o default_n and_o little_a care_n to_o follow_v it_o or_o else_o through_o the_o malice_n and_o ill_a will_n of_o the_o favour_a of_o the_o court_n that_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o suit_n and_o yet_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o be_v cause_n of_o the_o disorder_n but_o only_o the_o divine_a provydence_n of_o god_n to_o admonish_v we_o that_o in_o all_o our_o action_n and_o do_n

likewise_o we_o see_v prosperity_n induce_v man_n to_o forget_v themselves_o and_o their_o state_n and_o that_o that_o i_o have_v hitherto_o speak_v of_o and_o that_o i_o hope_v yet_o to_o speak_v none_o can_v understand_v nor_o conceive_v but_o such_o as_o once_o in_o their_o time_n in_o their_o navigation_n have_v a_o fortunate_a and_o lucky_a wind_n and_o afterward_o turn_v contrary_a even_o
