26. How to support the contumelie of defamatorie speeches.
If men deservedly speake ill of you,Be angry not at them: but at the cause,
Which you to them did furnish so to doe:
But if they still continue 'gainst the Lawes
11
(While with a valiant heart, and testimony
Of a good conscience, you your selfe comfort)
Contemne those rascals, that insult upon ye;
For a reproach, by honest meanes obtain'd,
Doth full of glory to the heav'ns ascend.
