112. When the Senate informed Augustus of what some had said of him, tush, said he, non tantum habemus otii, we are not at leisure to listen to every slander that's raised of us. A Christian should be (as 'tis said of Severus the Emperor) careful of what is to be done by him, but careless of what is said of him.

113. When Pyrrhus, Councillor to Sultan Selimus, persuaded the Sultan to bestow the great wealth which he had taken from the Persian Merchants upon some notable Hospital for relief of the poor, nay rather said he, let it be restored to the right owners, and so it was. Ill-gotten goods given to the poor is no charity, restitution is the best advantage can be made of such gain. Would there were more Zacheus ⟨p. 224⟩Christians in the world, for though by restitution they might be poorer in goods, yet they would be richer in goodness. A little good estate is better then a great bad one.
