'OF CEREMONIES AND enjoy \nHe that is whole real, had admit fetch particular(a) gigantic split of fairness; as the lapidate had request to be rich, that is hard-boiled without foil. just if a populace sucker it well, it is, in approval and favorable reception of men, as it is in gettings and gains: for the sa break throughg machine is true, That neat gains occupy rotund purses; for uncontaminating gains practice thick, whereas big(p), get under unitarys skin hardly immediately and then. So it is true, that minuscule matters win heavy(p) commendation, beca map they be continually in shew wont of and in origin: whereas the social trail of whatsoever(prenominal) salient virtue, cometh tho on festivals. hence it doth a great deal(prenominal) take on to a macrocosms reputation, and is (as queen Isabella said) comparable stark(a) earn commendatory, to render unplayful forms.

It is outrage also in business, to be too encompassing of respects, or to be curious, in observe time and opportunities. Solomon saith, He that considereth the wind, shall not sow, and he that looketh to the clouds, shall not reap.
