Of aduancement.
By nature all men equall beby fortune some aduaunst:
And some supprest, let him therfore
whom fortune hath enhaunst
In his supremicy beware
and wisely be aduysde:
Least that in midst of lofty fate
his fortune be dispysde.
For who by fortunes fauor gettes
to liue in happy plight:
By fortunes anger is addict
to purchase fortunes spight.
