Princes promise any thing to discover a treason, but they ne-ver trust the Traitors, and if happily they favour them for atime, the hatred which follower after is more violent and irre-coverable: for they use them as Country-men doe their Bees,when they have drawn out the honey and wax, they chafe themaway with fire and sinoake-

XL VII.

Many hate not sin, neither flic it because it is sinne, but aschildren doe Bees, not because they are Bees, but because theyhave a sting ; so doe they sinne, because it is hurtfull.

XL VI11.

When Bees are most angry in their swarming or fighting,cast but a little earth upon them, and they are presently quiet,and give over their humming noise and contention. So thoughnothing else can astwage the tumor of the proud, or quench theburn.ng desire of honour in the ambitious, of wealth in the co-vetous, of pleasure in the voluptuous; yet the consideration ofthe grave can. He that seriously thinketh with himseife, thesegoodly roabes of mine, cloath nothing but dung, all my daintyfare feedes but wormes. I who ( perhaps ) have power overother mens lives, have no power of my owne life, no not for amoment. Even whilst I fit upon prisoners and condemne guiltypersons, I am arraigned in my conscience, and plead guilty be-fore God : he that keeps downe his heart with these thoughts,,can no more be overthrowne with pride, then a ship which iswell ballasted be blowne away with a storme.

XL IX.

There are no strainer in Mustek so delightful!, as those inwhich discords are artificially bound in with concords; nordishes so dainty as those in which sweet things are seasonably

mingled;
