Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 30. That nothing more opposeth the tranquillity of life, which is proper, and peculiar to Wise-men, then to be tyed to a generality of publicke example in all our actions

Is one of the most ordinary, that

Supplying oftentimes the place of what
Is rightest, and most vertuous: for there's no man
(Scarce) holds that error, which is done in comon.
