2Many, the more often they are honoured with the great bountie of their gracious princes, the more proud they are waxen, 3And endeauour to hurt not our Subiects onely, but not being able to beare abundance, doe take in hand to practise also against those that doe them good: 4And take not only thankfulnesse away from among men, but also lifted vp with the glorious words of lewde persons that were neuer good, they thinke to escape the iustice of God, that seeth all things, and hateth euill. 5Often times also faire speech of those that are put in trust to manage their friends affaires, hath caused many that are in authority to be partakers of innocent blood, and hath enwrapped them in remedilesse calamities: 6Beguiling with the falshood and deceit of their lewd disposition, the innocencie and goodnesse of princes.
