Theſe God hath written for us, as it were, which the beam of the Sun, that none may plead difficulty. But we are, moſt of us, of the Athenian ſtrain, of whom Tully ſaies the Proverb went, Athenienſes ſ[illegible: 1 letter]ire quae recta ſunt, ſed facere nolle, that they knew what was right, Cic deſenct. but had no minde to make uſe of it.
