Most worthy Patriots,
THE Wise-man among his many approved Proverbs,1 hath this choice one, A word spoken upon his wheels (so runs the Original, or set upon his measures, that is, as our English not unfitly hath translated it, fitly spoken) A word fitly spoken, is the like Apples of Gold in pictures ⟨image 3⟩of silver; precious and pleasant. Precious, as golden Apples: pleasant as yellow Gold curiously wrought and artificially wretched in white Silver.

Pretious, as golden Apples: pleasant as yellow Gold curiously wrought and artificially wrethed in white Silver.
