the great personages with whom you deuise I enuie your happy contemplation But your Enuie quoth Ismarito is lyke that of Mutius Seauola desirous to excell the better sort in vertue as you excéede the rascall multitude in curtesie This encounter and a litle other pryuate talke ended Segnior Philoxenus lead Ismarito into a fayre Lybrarie beautified with such a number of goodly Bookes of all Sciences Lawes Customes Gouernmentes and memorial Monumēts as wel auncient as Modern as it came very neare in excellencie to y e famous Lybrarie of Cosmos de Medicis in Florence who imitated in his Monument Ptolomey surnamed Philodelphus who had y t seuentie Interpreters of the Iewes to translate the Sacred Bible into the Egiptian Language and with great dyllygence soughte to haue the seuerall Coppyes of all Bookes After Ismarito had well regarded the orderly sortinge of these Bookes and how by a shorte Kallender a Man without greate paine mighte turne vnto anye harde Question in any Science and haue large resolutions and had taken a note of the title of certayne Bookes that hee had not séene and yet necessarie to be read Segnior Philoxenus ledde him into his owne priuate studie which was furnished with Summaries or Abridgementes of all Sciences which he studied with such a iudgement as there was no Arte wherein he had not a speciall knowledge whiche in argument he exposed with so good a wit memorieas manie times he grounded Masters in that science And for that in al his actions he was y e true patterne for a Gentleman to imitate In honour of his worthines and for the benefite of such Gentlemen as will folow his example in Uertue I am bounde to set briefely downe the chiefest course of his Studie First and principally for the comfort both of his bodie and soule In Theologie he reade those bookes that cleared the mistes of Ignoraunce and vnmasked the deceiptes of the superstitious Monkes Friers c. And contemplated in the swéete comfort of those Aucthors that expounded the hard passages of the Scripture And for that Health is the most precious Iuell of the worlde knowyng the Constitution of his owne bodie he studied so muche in Phisicke as without the direction of Doctors hee knewe what meate and Medicine agréede with his nature To minister Iustice vnto the Ignorant multitude and to kéepe hymselfe out of the Forfaites of Lawe he studied the ciuill Law and specially the Statutes of his Countrey And questionlesse the Gentleman that is ignoraunt in the Lawes of his Countrey is an enemye to hymselfe and a Cipher in the comon weale In Militarie Knowledge he was experienced as wel by seruice in the Field as in readyng Vegetius and other Aucthors in his Studie And some trauell in this Arte is néedefull as well as comendable for a Gentleman for it is not ynough for hym to be Togatus as a Romayne Dratour nor Paliatus as a Gretian Phylosopher in that he must as well in the field looke his enemie in the face as imbrace his frend in the house and therfore though he bare a Pen in his eare to write his owne Commentaries hee is bounde to weare a Sword by his side to doo his Countrie seruice For Gouernment and Ciuil behauiours he read Plutarches Moralles Gueuaraes Dial of Princes the Courtier of Count Baldazar Castillio and others And in trueth it is not so necessarie to be well borne as to be well quallyted and of good behauiour wherfore the studie of Morallytie is verie néedefull for a Gentleman He likewise studied Cosmographie and had therin cōmendable knowledge which studie can not but much please and commende a braue minded Gentleman For by the vertue therof he shalbe in his Studie able to sur●…aye the whole worlde and with an agreable Discourse shall bound out a Stranger his owne Countrey He was a good Hystorigrapher and had read manie rare Chronicles How pleasing this studie is to a Gentleman is liuely expressed in his owne nature greedy of newes And where may hée haue better intilligence then Cronicles in which quietly in his owne Study he may receiue knowledge of Actes done throughout the whole worlde He was a good Harrolde and had read much in Annorie An Arte most néedefull for a Gentleman in that it is the Cognisaunce of himselfe And in my opinion he that is not able to blason his owne Armes is not worthie to beare them These Gentlemanly studies he vsed intermedled with others of more pleasure whiche I had not leasure to regarde nor memorie to beare away but in all his actions and behauiours he exposed a Gentleman so perfect as in regarding of hym but one halfe yeare a man might haue noted downe a Courtier not inferriour to that of Count Baldezar By that time Segnior Philoxenus had sufficiently fed Ismaritos eyes with this honourable fauour the sounde of the Trumpet gaue knowledge of dinner so that Ismarito was driuen to leaue that earthly Paradice to attende honourable Philoxenus into the great Chamber against whose comming the Table stoode furnished with manye daintie Dishes And Duéene Aurelia and the rest of the Companie were readie to salute him whiche curtesye perfourmed she tooke her appointed place and the rest as they pleased Towardes the latter ende of this dinner a meane fellow garded betwéen two Furies of the Kitchen was brought coram nobis for some pettie piylfering in the Scullerie Segnior Philoxenus referred his paine to the Iudgement of the Gentlemen and Gentlewomen there present Some of the Gentlemen appointed him some pleasaunt paine in the office where hée dyd the trespasse some other of the Gentlewomē ouercome w t a natural pitty accepted his teares in satisfaction and so discharged him But the Doctor more rougher then the rest tooke him vp so short as the poore fellow was driuen to say Sir where you may help hurt not The Doctor to satisfie his request and to kéepe his first determination aunswered to help hange a Theefe is no hurte to the common weale your petition shalbe signed The rascall Théefe hearing this seuere Iudgement as the Italians are naturally quicke witted replyed If chéefe Maiestrates shoulde set their handes to this Iustice There would bee more Lawyers hanged for stealing of Houses then Roges for robbinge of Headges The aunswere of the Doctor and the replye of the poore Fellow made y t company so merrie that for the pastime the trespasser had made them they remitted the punishment of his offence The laughter quieted in the commendation of his Countriemans capassitie quoth Soranso Master Doctor this poore Snake spake true Italian Yea quoth the Doctor but he lackes the vertues of the auncient Romaines couertly expressing thereby y t their wits were good but their conditions were euill Bargetto enuying the fauours Ismarito receaued and for some pryuate grudge about crossing in Argument sought by some pleasant scoffe to raise an vnkinde quarel
