A wonderful thing that these children being so well ⟨image 119⟩brought up should so fall & be corrupt. If the devil can prevail and hath power against them, that had so Godly education, what vantage hath he at them that be brought up iniquity & covetousness?

Many there be that being with out office can rebuke magistrates,2 and find fault with men that be in office & preeminence. After when it cometh to their chance to come to office them selves, then they have taken out a new lessō. cum essem paruulus sapieham ut paruulus. When I was a child, I savoured as a child.

It is a Prouerbe that magistratus virum commonstrat.
