of it rooted in him before. That wit which is
thereby to be perfected or made stayd, is nothing but _Experientia longa
malorum_; The experience of manie euills: the experience that such a
man lost his life by this folly, another by that: such a young Gallant
consumed his substance on such a Curtizan: these courses of reuenge a
Merchant of _Venice_ tooke against a Merchant of _Ferrara_: and this
poynt of iustice was shewed by the Duke vppon the murtherer. What is
heere but wee maye read in bookes and a great deale more too, without
stirring our feete out of a warme studie.

_Vobis alii ventorum prolia narrent,_ (saith Ouid) _Quasq; Scilla
infestat, quasue Charybdis aquas_. Let others tell you wonders of the
winde, How _Scalla_ or _Charybdis_ is enclinde.

--_vos quod quisque loquetur Credite_
--Beleeue you what they say, but neuer trie.

So let others tell you straunge accidents, treasons, poysonings, close
packings in _Frounce, Spaine and Italy_: it is no harme for you to
heare of them, but come not neere them. What is there in _Fraunce_ to
be learnd more than in _England_, but falshood in fellowship, perfect
slouenrie, to loue no man but for my pleasure, to sweare _Ah par la mort
Dieu_ when a mans hammes are scabd. For the idle Traueller, (I meane not

a little weerish leane face vnder a broad French hat, kept a terrible
coyle with the dust in the streete in their long cloakes of gray paper,
and spoke English strangely. Nought else haue they profited by their
trauell, saue learnt to distinguish of the true _Burdeaux_ Grape, and
knowe a cup of neate _Gascoygne_ wine, from wine of _Orleance _: yea and
peraduenture this also, to esteeme of the poxe as a pimple, to weare
a veluet patch on their face, and walke melancholy with their armes
folded.

From _Spaine_ what bringeth our Traueller? a scull cround hat of the
fashion of an olde deepe poringer, a diminutiue Aldermans ruffe with
shorte strings like the droppings of a mans nose, a close-bellied dublet
comming downe with a peake behinde as farre as the crupper, and cut off
before by the breast-boane like a partlet or neckercher, a wyde payre of
gascoynes which vngatherd would make a couple of womens ryding kyrtles,
huge hangers that haue halfe a Cowe hyde in them, a Rapyer that is
lineally descended from halfe a dozen Du
