Tis often sayd, a man should doe likewise
To other, as hee would to him they did.
Do as thou would’st bee done to, sayth the wise,
And doe as conscience and as iustice bid.

Nor yet[386] his hands[387] with cruell bloud distayne:
For bloud doth alwayes cry for bloud againe.

Procures a plague: fie, fie, on Venus vile:
