Such a carnal love to good men is none other thing than may be seen in as bad a man as he of whom we entreat. You must therefore learn to love a Jacob as a Jacob, and in the name of a Jacob, that love will demonstrate some piety to your selves. And when we perceive the kindness of any man to have its original in such base ends, we must esteem it a point of discretion not to trust at all in their loves, they will soon turn enemies for gain, whom gain maketh friends.
