(30) Vnitinge of Contraries make sound Iudgement.
Comforting Ceres Ioynd with hopps of bitter taste,and faire waters, by art produce sweet liquors at the last,
not much inferior to Bacchus pleasant wyne,
as Emulus vnto that Ioyce which art doth well refine;
for the sharpe taste of hopps, the water and the corne
doe mittigate, and make that sweet, which bitter was beforne:
which doth vs teach the waye, ech cause to handle well,
and howe in knotted difficults a Iudgement right to tell;
for Ioyning contraries in peyse of equall weighte,
comparinge the effects of both, the truth appeareth straite,
So addinge hard to softe, and bitter to the sweete,
compounds a meane between them both, for Iudgment allwaies meet.
