Signs and Symptoms.
Signes and Symptomes.
Ror the Signs of this putrid fever, they be not externally discerned; except you feel the pulse, which beats thick, quick, and vehement. The Hypocrite is exceedingly rotten at core, like a Sodom apple, though an ignorant passenger may take him for sound. He looks squint-eyed, aiming at two things at once, the satisfying his own lusts, and that the world may not be aware of it. Bonus videri non esse; malus esse non videri cupit. They would seem good, that they might be evil alone: not seem evil, lest they might not then be evil so much. Oves visu, Vulpes actu, actu: having much angel without, more devil within: a villainous Host dwelling at the sign of, Friend. Tuta frequensque via est, per amici fallere nomen. Tuta frequensque licet sit via, crimen habet, Which one thus wittily englisheth: A safe and common thing it is, through friendship to deceive. As safe and common as it is, 'Tis knavery, by your leave.
