But, some what to yield unto your pleasance, why may not a man Hold, that be never Had, as well as Lose, that he never Had? In the Learned Glosses upon your Decrees, 1ye may find this note amongst others, Nota, quòd aliquis dicitur perdere, quod nunquā habuit: Mark well this: A man may be said to Lose, that he never Had. And yet, ye say commonly in the Schooles, Privatio semper praesupponit habitum, The Losing of a thing always pre supposeth the Having of the same. Or, to answer you in plainer wise, why may not a man as well Hold nothing, as you may talk so much, and yet say nothing? Galen said sometime to one,2 that spake then in such substantial manner, as you speak now, Accipe nihil: & tene fideliter: Take nothing: and hold it fast.
