The Closet of Counsells | ||
Of all Iniuries.
By two peruerse and wrongful wayesall iniuries be wrought:
Whether they be retaynde by force
or els by wronge are sought.
The one is by witholding that
which is anothers right:
The other by extorting ought
which is an open spight.
If thou the truth of any thing
wouldst very fayne descry:
Giue little credite to thine eare
but trust vnto thine eye.
