In the first sort be such as know doctrines for the soul, or medicines for the body, and yet because they get gain thereby, they would not have too many know thereof, lest their own gains should be the less. As we fee, such a one as knoweth a good method and order to teach, would be loth it should be common, because his estimation and gain, (as he thinketh) should diminish & decrease. The excellent Physician would not have his cunning common, least many men, as cunning as he, should part his gains amongest them.
