[33]

[It doth belong more of good right]

It doth belong more of good right, to such as haue courage gentle, to shew forth plain to eu'ry wight, the loue or hate they bear them till: then slily to cloke, or closely to hide, by their dissembling look and cheer, the good or ill that in their harts doth bide, wherby their wyles cannot appeare, wherby their wyles cannot appeare.

Thomas VVhythorne.
