Why do they not say, Thou that knowest the estates of men, who is rich, and fit to support a high place; and who so poor that the place must support him? I hear some call Wealth, Substance; but certainly at b•st, it is but a mere circumstance. It is like the Planet Mercury; if it be joined with a good Heart, it is useful; if with a bad and corrupt one, dangerous. But howsoever at the Beam of the Sanctuary, money makes not the man, yet it often adds some metal to the man; makes his Justice the bolder, and in less hazard of being vitiated. But pauperis sapientia plus valet quam divitis abundantia. If the poor man have Wisdom to deliver the City, 1he is worthy to govern the City. I yield, that something is due to the State of Authoritie; Ad populum Phaleras: So Agrippa came to the Tribunal with great pomp and attendance. This is requisite to keep awe in the people, that the Magistracy be not exposed to contempt. B•t Magistratus, non vestitus, indicat virum: Wise government, not rich garment, shows an able man. It was not riches, that they regarded.

But howsoeuer at the Beame of the Sanctuary, money makes not the man, yet it often addes some mettall to the man; makes his Iustice the bolder, and in lesse hazard of being vitiated. But pauperis sapientia plus valet quam diuitis abundantia. If the poore man haue Wisdome to deliuer the Citie, 1hee is worthy to gouerne the Citie. I yeeld, that something is due to the State of Authoritie; Ad populum Phaleras: So Agrippa came to the Tribunall with great pompe and attendance. This is requisite to keepe awe in the people, that the Magistracie bee not exposed to contempt. B•t Magistratus, non vestitus, indicat virum: Wise gouernment, not rich garment, shewes an able man. It was not riches, that they regarded.
