Right Honourable,
THERE are two things common to man, whose nature is capable of Honour: one is an appetite of Honour; the other a mistaking himself about the matter or way of Honour: Ambition stirs up the one, and Ignorance causeth the other; that swells, this poisons the heart of man. ⟨image 3⟩The first Humour did so far transport some Ancients, that they placed very Felicity in Honour, and made strange and unnatural Adventures for the same. The second, as an Evil, made them to make that to be Honour, which is not; and deny that to be Honour, which is Honour indeed. It is no Honour, to be wicked; nor yet a way to Honour, with God, or good men: and yet some men do glory in their shame, accounting Baseness it self to be their Honour.
