There is no learned man but will confess be hath much profited by reading controversies,--his senses awakened, his judgment sharpened, and the truth which he holds firmly established. If then it be profitable for him to read, why should it not at least be tolerable and free for his adversary to write? In logic they teach that contraries laid together, more evidently appear; it follows then, that all controversy being permitted, falsehood will appear more false, and truth the more true; which must needs conduce much to the general confirmation of an implicit truth.

Accuse not nature: she hath done her part; Do thou but thine.

The love-lorn nightingale nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well.

In argument with men a woman ever Goes by the worse, whatever be her cause.

Fear of change perplexes monarchs.

These are thy glorious works, Parent of good!

He left it in thy power, ordaind thy will By nature free, not over-rul'd by Fate Inextricable, or strict necessity.
