JOI. The old patriarchs were very godly men, & yet not withstanding they had need of a magistrate not for them selves, but for the wicked sake We do not speak of that, if we were such,1 but of that, that we are. Sith then, that we be not as we ought to be, it is necessary, that we have that, with out that which, it is impossible for us to live. If we had great riches, truly we should be rich, if we had great learning we should without doubt, be great clerks But we may not so gather, ergo, we need not to labour, we need not to study. If we had wings we should flee, sith then that we have no wings, we have need of feet to go.
