1Cambises was a great Emperor such an other as our master is, he had many Lord deputies, Lord presidents, and Lieutenants under him. It is a great while a go sith I read the history. It chanced he had under him in one of his dominions a briber, a gift taker, a gratifier of rich men, ⟨image 66⟩he followed gifts, as fast as he that followed the pudding a hand maker in his office,2 to make his son a great man, as the old saying is. Happy is the child, whose father goeth to the Devil.
