No wicked man can be wise: he may bee •raf• and witty to contrive mischiefe, but to be wise, hee cannot bee and so SALOMON tells us, who continually in his Proverbes, makes a wicked man and a foole Synonimyes, they signifie with him the same thing. For would any man who had never so little sparke of wisedome in him, being a Petitioner, and hoping to move compassion of his miserie in the heart of him to whom he makes his Petition, lay all his State, his Pompe, and his bravery open before him? Wee would account him but an unskilfull Begger, who, being to aske an Almes, would (if he had them or could borrow them) put on Rings upon his fingers, adorne himselfe with Iewels, cloth himselfe in fine linnings, Scarlet or Purple, and by this meanes hope to move the hearts of men to a pitty of his condition. |
