The gain of lying is nothing else but not to be trusted of any, nor to be believed when we say the truth.

No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.

Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.

Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.

Our immortal souls, while righteous, are by God himself beautified with the title of his own image and similitude.

To live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.

In a word, we may gather out of History a policy no less wise than I eternal; by the comparison and application of other mens fore-passed miseries with our own like errours and ill-deservings.
