The Master and the Boy.
Magister & Puer.

M. Come, Boy, learn to be wise. M. Veni, Puer, disce sapere.
P. What doth this mean, to be wise? P. Quid hoc est, Sapere?
M. To understand rightly,
2to do rightly,
and to speak out rightly
all that are necessary. M. Intelligere recte,
agere recte,
et eloqui recte
omnia necessaria.
P. Who will teach me this? P. Quis docebit me hoc?
M. I, by God’s help. M. Ego, cum DEO.
P. How? P. Quomodo?
M. I will guide thee thorow all. M. Ducam te per omnia.
I will shew thee all. Ostendam tibi omnia.
I will name thee all. Nominabo tibi omnia.
P. See, here I am;
lead me in the name of God. P. En, adsum;
duc me in nomine DEI.
M. Before all things,
thou oughtest to learn
the plain sounds,
of which man’s speech
consisteth;
which living creatures
know how to make,
and thy Tongue knoweth how
to imitate, and thy hand
can picture out. M. Ante omnia,
debes discere
simplices Sonos
ex quibus Sermo humanus
constat;
quos Animalia
sciunt formare,
& tua Lingua scit
imitari, & tua Manus
potest pingere.
Afterwards we will go
into the World,
and we will view all things. Postea ibimus
Mundum,
& spectabimus omnia.
Here thou hast a lively

The Eye, 1. seeth Colours,
what is white or black,
green or blew,
red or yellow. Oculus, 1. videt Colores,
quid album vel atrum,
viride vel cœruleum,
rubrum aut luteum, sit.
The Ear, 2. heareth
Sounds, both natural,
Voices and Words;
and artificial,
53Musical Tunes. Auris, 2. audit
Sonos, tum naturales,
Voces & Verba;
tum artificiales,
Tonos Musicos.
The Nose, 3. scenteth
smells and stinks. Nasus, 3, olfacit
odores & fœtores.
The Tongue, 4.
with the roof of the Mouth
tastes Savours,
what is sweet or bitter,
keen or biting,
sower or harsh. Lingua, 4.
cum Palato
gustat Sapores,
quid dulce aut amarum,
acre aut acidum,
acerbum aut austerum.
The Hand, 5. by touching
discerneth the quantity
and quality of things;
the hot and cold,
the moist and dry,
the hard and soft,
the smooth and rough,
the heavy and light. Manus, 5. tangendo
dignoscit quantitatem,
& qualitatem rerum;
calidum & frigidum,
humidum & siccum,
durum & molle,
læve & asperum,
grave & leve.
The inward Senses are
three. Sensus interni sunt tres.
The Common Sense, 7.
under the forepart of the
head, apprehendeth
things taken from
the outward Senses. Sensus Communis, 7.
sub sincipite
apprehendit
res perceptas a
Sensibus externis.
The Phantasie, 6.
under the crown of the head
judgeth of those things,
thinketh and dreameth, Phantasia, 6.
sub vertice,
dijudicat res istas,
cogitat, somniat.
The Memory, 8.
under the hinder part of the
head, layeth up every thing
and fetcheth them out:
it loseth some,
and this is forgetfulness. Memoria, 8.
sub occipitio,
recondit singula
& depromit:
deperdit quædam,
& hoc est oblivio.
Sleep, is
the rest of the Senses. Somnus, est
requies Sensuum.

The Soul of Man.Anima hominis.
Chapter 43

The Soul is the Life
of the Body, one in the whole. Anima est vita
corporis, una in toto.
Only Vegetative in Plants; Tantùm Vegetativa in
Plantis;
Withal Sensitive in
Animals; Simul Sensitiva in
Animalibus;
And also rational in
Men. Etiam Rationalis in
Homine.
This consisteth in three
things; Hæc consistet in tribus:
In the Understanding,
whereby it judgeth
and understandeth
a thing good and evil,
or true, or apparent. In Mente (Intellectu)
quâ cognoscit,
& intelligit,
bonum ac malum,
vel verum, vel apparens.
In the Will,
whereby it chooseth,
and desireth,
or rejecteth, and
misliketh a thing known. In Voluntate,
quâ eligit,
& concupiscit,
aut rejicit, &
aversatur cognitum.
In the Mind,
whereby it pursueth
55the Good chosen or
avoideth the Evil rejected. In Animo,
quo prosequitur
Bonum electum, vel
fugit Malum rejectum.
Hence is Hope and Fear
in the desire,
and dislike. Hinc Spes & Timor,
in cupidine,
& aversatione:
Hence is Love and Joy,
in the Fruition: Hinc Amor & Gaudium,
in fruitione:
But Anger and Grief,
in suffering. Sed Ira ac Dolor,
in passione.
The true judgment of a
thing is Knowledge;
the false, is Error,
Opinion and Suspicion. Vera cognitio
rei, est Scientia;
falsa, Error,
Opinio, Suspicio.

Corpora opaca,
non penetrantur ejus radiis,
nam jaciunt umbram

Therefore,
when the Moon lighteth
132into the shadow
of the Earth, 2.
it is darkened,
which we call an Eclipse,
or defect. Ideo
cum Luna incidit
in umbram
Terræ, 2.
obscuratur
quod vocamus Eclipsin
(deliquium) Lunæ.
But when the Moon
runneth betwixt the Sun
and the Earth, 3.
it covereth it with
its shadow;
and this we call
the Eclipse of the Sun,
because it taketh from us
the sight of the Sun,
and its light;
neither doth the Sun
for all that suffer any thing,
but the Earth. Cum vero Luna
currit inter Solem
& Terram, 3.
obtegit illum
umbrâ suâ;
& hoc vocamus
Eclipsin Solis,
quia adimit nobis
prospectum Solis,

nec tamen Sol
patitur aliquid,
sed Terra.

Moral Philosophy.Ethica.
Chapter 109

This Life is a way,
or a place divided into two ways,
like
Pythagoras’s Letter Y.
broad, 1.
on the left hand track;
narrow, 2. on the right;
that belongs to Vice, 3.
this to Vertue, 4. Vita hæc est via,
sive Bivium,
simile
Litteræ Pithagoricæ Y.
latum, 1.
sinistro tramite
angustum, 2. dextro;
ille Vitii, 3.
est his Virtutis, 4.
Mind, Young Man, 5.
imitate Hercules:
leave the left hand way,
turn from Vice;
the Entrance, 6. is fair,
but the End, 7.
is ugly and steep down. Adverte juvenis, 5.
imitare Herculem;
linque sinistram,
aversare Vitium;
Aditus speciosus, 6.
sed Exitus, 7.
turpis & præceps.
Go on the right hand,
though it be thorny, 8.
no way is unpassible
to vertue; follow whither
vertue leadeth
137through narrow places
to stately palaces,
to the Tower of honour, 9. Dextera ingredere,
utut spinosa, 8.
nulla via invia
virtuti; sequere quâ
viâ ducit virtus
per angusta,
ad augusta,
ad Arcem honoris, 9.
Keep the middle
and streight path,
and thou shalt go very safe. Tene medium
& rectum tramitem;
ibis tutissimus.
Take heed thou do not go
too much on the right hand, 10. Cave excedas
ad dextram, 10.
Bridle in, 12.
the wild Horse, 11. of Affection,
lest thou fall down headlong. Compesce freno, 12.
equum ferocem, 11. Affectûs
ne præceps fias.
See thou dost not
go amiss on the left hand, 13.
in an ass-like sluggishness, 14.
but go onwards constantly,
persevere to the end,
and thou shalt be crown’d, 15. Cave
deficias ad sinistram, 13.
segnitie asininâ, 14.
sed progredere constanter
pertende ad finem,
& coronaberis, 15.
CX.
Prudence.Prudentia.
Chapter 110

Prudence, 1.
looketh upon all things
138as a Serpent, 2.
and doeth, speaketh, or
thinketh nothing in vain. Prudentia, 1.
circumspectat omnia
ut Serpens, 2.
agitque, loquitur, aut
cogitat nihil incassum.
She looks backwards, 3.
as into a Looking-glass, 4.
to things past;
and seeth before her, 5.
as with a Perspective-glass, 7.
things to come,
or the End, 6.
and so she perceiveth
what she hath done, and
what remaineth to be done. Respicit, 3.
tanquam in Speculum, 4.
ad præterita;
& prospicit, 5.
tanquam Telescopio, 7.
Futura,
seu Finem, 6.
atque ita perspicit
quid egerit, &
quid restet agendum.
She proposeth
an Honest, Profitable
and withal, if it may be done,
a Pleasant End,
to her Actions.* Actionibus suis*
præfigit Scopum,
Honestum, Utilem,
simulque, si fieri potest,
Jucundum.
Having foreseen the End,
she looketh out Means,
as a Way, 8.
which leadeth to the End;
but such as are certain
and easie, and fewer
rather than more,
lest anything should hinder. Fine prospecto,
dispicit Media,
ceu Viam, 8.
quæ ducit ad finem,
sed certa
& facilia; pauciora
potiùs quàm plura,
ne quid impediat.
She watcheth Opportunity, 9.
(which having
a bushy fore-head, 10.
and being bald-pated, 11.
and moreover
having wings, 12.
doth quickly slip away,)
and catcheth it. Attendit Occasioni, 9.
(quæ
Fronte Capillata, 10.
sed vertice calva, 11.
adhæc
alata, 12.
facile elabitur)
eamque captat.
She goeth on her way
warily,
for fear she should stumble
or go amiss. In viâ pergit
cautè (providè)
ne impingat
aut aberret.
139
CXI.
Diligence.Sedulitas.
Chapter 111

Diligence, 1. loveth labours,
avoideth Sloth,
is always at work,
like the Pismire, 2.
and carrieth together,
as she doth, for herself,
Store of all things, 3. Sedulitas, 1. amat labores,
fugit Ignaviam,
semper est in opere,
ut Formica, 2.
& comportat,
ut illa, sibi,
omnium rerum Copiam, 3.
She doth not always
sleep, or make holidays,
as the Sluggard, 4.
and the Grashopper, 5. do,
whom Want, 6.
at the last overtaketh. Non semper
dormit, ferias agit,
aut ut Ignavus, 4.
& Cicada, 5.
quos Inopia, 6.
tandem premit.
She pursueth what things
she hath undertaken
chearfully,
even to the end;
she putteth nothing off
till the morrow,
nor doth she sing
the Crow’s song, 7.
which saith over and over,
140Cras, Cras. Urget incepta

alacriter
ad finem usque;
procrastinat nihil,

nec cantat
cantilenam Corvi, 7.
qui ingeminat
Cras, Cras.
After labours
undergone, and ended,
being even wearied,
she resteth her self;
but being refreshed with Rest,
that she may not use her self
to Idleness, she falleth again
to her Business, Post labores
exantlatos,
& lassata,
quiescit;
sed recreata Quiete,
ne adsuescat
Otio, redit
ad Negotia.
A diligent Scholar
is like Bees, 8.
which carry honey
from divers Flowers, 9.
into their Hive, 10. Diligens Discipulus,
similis est Apibus, 8.
qui congerunt mel
ex variis Floribus, 9.
in Alveare suum, 10.
CXII.
Temperance.Temperantia.
Chapter 112

Temperance, 1.
prescribeth a mean
to meat and drink, 2.
and restraineth the desire,
as with a Bridle, 3.
141and so moderateth all things,
lest any thing
too much be done. Temperantia, 1.
præscribit modum
Cibo & Potui, 2.
& continet cupidinem,
ceu Freno, 3.
& sic moderatur omnia
ne quid
nimis fiat.
Revellers
are made drunk, 4.
they stumble, 5.
they spue, 6.
and babble, 7.* Heluones (ganeones)
inebriantur, 4.
titubant, 5.
ructant (vomunt), 6.
& rixantur, 7.
From Drunkenness
proceedeth Lasciviousness;
from this a lewd Life
amongst Whoremasters, 8.
and Whores, 9.
in kissing,
touching,
embracing,
and dancing, 10. E Crapula
oritur Lascivia;
ex hâc Vita libidinosa
inter Fornicatores, 8.
& Scorta, 9.
osculando (basiando),
palpando,
amplexando,
& tripudiando, 10.
CXIII.
Fortitude.Fortitudo.
Chapter 113

Fortitude, 1.
is undaunted in adversity,
142and bold as a Lion, 2. but
not haughty in Prosperity,
leaning on her own Pillar, 3.
Constancy, and
being the same in all things,
ready to undergo both
estates with an even mind. Fortitudo, 1.
impavida est in adversis,
& confidens ut Leo, 2. at
non tumida in Secundis,
innixa suo Columini, 3.
Constantiæ; &
eadem in omnibus,
parata ad ferendam utramque
fortunam æquo animo.
She receiveth the strokes
of Misfortune
with the Shield, 4.
of Sufferance: and
keepeth off the Passions,
the enemies of quietness
with the Sword, 5.
of Valour. Excipit ictus
Infortunii
Clypeo, 4.
Tolerantiæ: &
propellit Affectus,
hostes Euthymiæ
gladio, 5.
Virtutis.
CXIV.
Patience.Patientia.
Chapter 114

Patience, 1.
endureth Calamities, 2.
143and Wrongs, 3. meekly
like a Lamb, 4.
as the Fatherly
chastisement of God, 5. Patientia, 1.
tolerat Calamitates, 2.
& Injurias, 3. humiliter
ut Agnus, 4.
tanquam paternam
ferulam Dei, 5.
In the meanwhile she leaneth
upon the Anchor of Hope, 6.
(as a Ship, 7.
tossed by waves in the Sea)
she prayeth to God, 8.
weeping,
and expecteth the Sun, 10.
after cloudy weather, 9.
suffering evils,
and hoping better things. Interim innititur
Spei Anchoræ, 6.
(ut Navis, 7.
fluctuans mari)
Deo supplicat, 8.
illacrymando,
& expectat Phœbum, 10.
post Nubila, 9.
ferens mala,
sperans meliora.
On the contrary,
the impatient person, 11.
waileth, lamenteth,
rageth against himself, 12.
grumbleth like a Dog, 13.
and yet doth no good;
at the last he despaireth,
and becometh
his own Murtherer, 14. Contra,
Impatiens, 11.
plorat, lamentatur,
debacchatur, 12. in seipsum,
obmurmurat ut Canis, 13.
& tamen nil proficit;
tandem desperat,
& fit
Autochir, 14.
Being full of rage he desireth
to revenge wrongs. Furibundus cupit
vindicare injurias.
144
CXV.
Humanity.Humanitas.
Chapter 115

Men are made
for one another’s good;
therefore let them be kind. Homines facti sunt
ad mutua commoda;
ergò sint humani.
Be thou sweet and lovely
in thy Countenance, 1.
gentle and civil
in thy Behaviour and Manners, 2.
affable and true spoken
with thy Mouth, 3.
affectionate and candid
in thy Heart, 4. Sis suavis & amabilis
Vultu, 1.
comis & urbanus
Gestu ac Moribus, 2.
affabilis & verax,
Ore, 3.
candens & candidus
Corde, 4.
So love,
and so shalt thou be loved;
and there will be
a mutual Friendship, 5.
as that of Turtle-doves, 6.
hearty, gentle,
and wishing well on both parts. Sic ama,
sic amaberis;
& fiat
mutua Amicitia, 5.
ceu Turturum, 6.
concors, mansueta,
& benevola utrinque.
Froward Men are
hateful, teasty, unpleasant.
145contentious, angry, 7.
cruel, 8.
and implacable,
(rather Wolves and Lions,
than Men)
and such as fall out
among themselves,
hereupon
they fight in a Duel, 9. Morosi homines, sunt
odiosi, torvi, illepidi.
contentiosi, iracundi, 7.
crudeles, 8.
ac implacabiles,
(magis Lupi & Leones,
quàm homines)
& inter se
discordes,
hinc
confligunt Duelle, 9.
Envy, 10.
wishing ill to others,
pineth away her self. Invidia, 10.
malè cupiendo aliis,
conficit seipsam.
CXVI.
Justice.Justitia.
Chapter 116

Justice, 1.
is painted, sitting
on a square stone, 2. for
she ought to be immoveable;
with hood-winked eyes, 3.
that she may not respect
persons;
stopping the left ear, 4.
146to be reserved
for the other party; Justitia, 1.
pingitur, sedens
in lapide quadrato, 2. nam
decet esse immobilis;
obvelatis oculis, 3.
ad non respiciendum
personas;
claudens aurem sinistram, 4.
reservandam
alteri parti;
Holding in her right Hand
a Sword, 5.
and a Bridle, 6.
to punish
and restrain evil men; Tenens dextrâ
Gladium, 5.
& Frænum, 6.
ad puniendum
& coërcendum malos;
Besides,
a pair of Balances, 7.
in the right Scale, 8. whereof
Deserts,
and in the left, 9.
Rewards being put,
are made even one with another,
and so good Men
are incited to virtue,
as it were with Spurs, 10. Præterea,
Stateram, 7.
cujus dextræ Lanci, 8.
Merita,
Sinistræ, 9.
Præmia imposita,
sibi invicem exequantur,
atque ita boni
incitantur ad virtutem,
ceu Calcaribus, 10.
In Bargains, 11.
let Men deal candidly,
let them stand to their
Covenants and Promises;
let that which is given one to keep,
and that which is lent,
be restored:
let no man be pillaged, 12.
or hurt, 13.
let every one have his own:
these are the precepts
of Justice. In Contractibus, 11.
candidè agatur:
stetur
Pactis & Promissis;
Depositum,
& Mutuum,
reddantur:
nemo expiletur, 12.
aut lædatur, 13.
suum cuique tribuatur:
hæc sunt præcepta
Justitiæ.
Such things as these
are forbidden
in God’s 5th. and 7th.
Cammandment,
and deservedly punish’d
on the Gallows and the Wheel, 14. Talia
prohibentur,
quinto & septimo Dei
Præcepto,
& merito puniuntur
Cruce ac Rotâ, 14.
147
CXVII.
Liberality.Liberalitas.
Chapter 117

Liberality, 1.
keepeth a mean about Riches,
which she honestly seeketh,
that she may have
somewhat to bestow
on them that want, 2. Liberalitas, 1.
servat modum circa Divitias,
quas honestè quærit
ut habeat
quod largiatur
Egenis, 2.
She cloatheth, 3.
nourisheth, 4.
and enricheth, 5. these
with a chearful countenance, 6.
and a winged hand, 7. Hos vestit, 3.
nutrit, 4.
ditat, 5.
Vultu hilari, 6.
& Manu alatâ, 7.
She submitteth her
wealth, 8. to her self,
not her self to it,
as the covetous man, 9. doth,
who hath,
that he may have,
and is not the Owner,
but the Keeper of his goods,
and being unsatiable,
always scrapeth together, 10.
with his Nails. Subjicit
opes, 8. sibi,
non se illis,
ut Avarus, 9.
qui habet,
ut habeat,
& non est Possessor
sed Custos bonorum suorum,
& insatiabilis,
semper corradit, 10.
Unguibus suis.
148Moreover he spareth
and keepeth,
hoarding up, 11.
that he may always have. Sed & parcit
& adservat,
occludendo, 11.
ut semper habeat.
But the Prodigal, 12.
badly spendeth
things well gotten,
and at the last wanteth. At Prodigus, 12.
malè disperdit
benè parta,
ac tandem eget.
CXVIII.
Society betwixt Man and Wife.Societas Conjugalis.
Chapter 118

Marriage
was appointed by God
in Paradise,
for mutual help,
and the Propagation
of mankind. Matrimonium
institutum est à Deo
in Paradiso,
ad mutuum adjutorium,
& propagationem
generis humani.
A young man (a single man)
being to be married,
should be furnished
either with Wealth,
or a Trade and Science,
149which may serve
for getting a living;
that he may be able
to maintain a Family. Vir Juvenis (Cœlebs)
conjugium initurus,
instructus sit
aut Opibus,
aut Arte & Scientiâ,
quæ sit
de pane lucrando;
ut possit
sustentare Familiam.
Then he chooseth himself
a Maid that is Marriageable,
(or a Widow)
whom he loveth;
nevertheless a greater Regard
is to be had of Virtue,
and Honesty,
than of Beauty or Portion. Deinde eligit sibi
Virginem Nubilem,
(aut Viduam)
quam adamat;
ubi tamen major ratio
habenda Virtutis
& Honestatis,
quàm Formæ aut Dotis.
Afterwards, he doth not
betroth her to himself closely,
but entreateth for her
as a Woer,
first to the Father, 1.
and then the Mother, 2.
or the Guardians,
or Kinsfolks, by
such as help to make the match, 3. Posthæc, non
clam despondet sibi eam,
sed ambit,
ut Procus,
apud Patrem, 1.
& Matrem, 2.
vel apud Tutores,
& Cognatos, per
Pronubos, 3.
When she is espous’d to him,
he becometh the Bridegroom, 4.
and she the Bride, 5.
and the Contract is made.
and an Instrument of Dowry 6.
is written. Eâ sibi desponsâ,
fit Sponsus, 4.
& ipsa Sponsa, 5.
fiuntque Sponsalia,
& scribitur
Instrumentum Dotale, 6.
At the last
the Wedding is made,
where they are joined together
by the Priest, 7.
giving their Hands, 8.
one to another.
and Wedding-rings, 9.
then they feast with
the witnesses that are invited. Tandem
fiunt Nuptiæ
ubi copulantur
à Sacerdote, 7.
datis Manibus, 8.
ultrò citroque,
& Annulis Nuptialibus, 9.
tum epulantur cum
invitatis testibus.
After this they are called
Husband and Wife;
when she is dead he becometh
a Widower. Abhinc dicuntur
Maritus & Uxor;
hâc mortuâ ille fit
Viduus.

and he (being called away
from the Gentiles)
with his Posterity,

at the last being conceived

and clad with humane flesh,
came into the World
at Bethlehem of Judæa,
in the extream poverty
of a Stable, 2.
in the fullness of time,
in the year of the world 3970,
but pure from all sin,
and the name of Jesus

When he was sprinkled
with holy Baptism, 4.
(the Sacrament
of the new Covenant)
by John
his Forerunner, 5.
in Jordan,
the most sacred Mystery
of the divine Trinity,
appear’d
by the Father’s voice, 6.
(whereby he testified
that this was his Son)
and the Holy Ghost
in the shape of a Dove, 7.
coming down from Heaven. Hic, cum imbueretur

From that time,
being the 30th year of his Age,
unto the fourth year,
he declared who he was,
his words and works
manifesting his Divinity,
being neither owned,
nor entertained by the Jews,
because of his voluntary poverty. Ab eo tempore,
tricesimo anno ætatis suæ,
usque an annum quartum,
declaravit quis esset,

189He was at last taken by
these (when he had first
instituted the Mystical Supper, 8.
of his Body and Blood
for a Seal
of the new Covenant and
the remembrance of himself)
carried to the Judgment-seat
of Pilate,
Governour under Cæsar,
accused and condemned
as an innocent Lamb; and
being fastned upon a Cross, 9.
he dyed, being
sacrificed upon the Altar
for the sins of the World. Captus tandem ab

But when he had revived
by his Divine Power,
he rose again the third day
out of the Grave, 10.
and forty days after
being taken up
from Mount Olivet, 11.
into Heaven, 12.
and returning thither
whence he came,
he vanished as it were,
while the Apostles, 13.
gazed upon him, Sed quum revixisset

being henceforth to come again
to the last Judgment,
sitting in the mean time
190at the right hand

they deny the Holy Trinity:
they honour Christ,
not as the Son of God,

yet less than Mahomet;
they call their Law,
