Truth is the daughter of time, & time is the mother of trueth. And whatsoever is besieged of truth, 1cannot long continue, and upon whose side truth doth stand, that ought not to be thought transitory, or that it will ever fall. 2All things consist not in painted eloquence and strength or authority. For the trueth is of so great power, strength & efficacy, that it can neither be defended with words, not to be overcome with any strength, 3but after she hath hidden her self long, at length she putteth up her head and appeareth, as it is written in Esdras: A king is strong, wine is stronger, yet women be more strong, but truth excelleth all.4
