The Remedies as often increase the Disease, as they do allay it; and a Fool valueth himself upon suspecting at a venture.
Cheats.
Many Men swallow the being cheated, but no Man could ever endure to chew it.
Few Men would be deceived, if their Conceit of themselves did not help the Skill of those that go about it.
Complaint.
Complaining is a Contempt upon ones self:
It is an ill Sign both of a Man’s Head and of his Heart.
A Man throweth himself down whilst he complaineth; and when a Man throweth himself down, no body careth to take him up again.
Content.
Content layeth Pleasure, nay Virtue, in a Slumber, with few and faint Intermissions.
