Epigrams. The First Booke. № 20. Of Negative, and Positive good

NOT onely are they good, who vertuously,
Employ their time (now vertue being so rare)
But likewise those, whom no necessity,
Nor force can in the meanest vice insnare;
For sin's so mainly further'd by the Devill,
That 'tis a sort of good, to doe no evill.

1. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world
2. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 8. The resolution of a proficient in vertue
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 23. We ought not to regard the contumelies, and calumnies of Lyars, and profane men
