Tandlerus and some authors make a doubt, whether love and hatred may be compelled by philters or characters; Cardan and Marbodius, by precious stones and amulets; astrologers by election of times, &c. as [4543]I shall elsewhere discuss. TONLEROUS AND SOME AUTHORS MAKE A DOUBT WHETHER LOVE AND HATRED MAY BE COMPELLED BY FILTERS OR CHARACTERS CARDON AND MARBODIUS BY PRECIOUS STONES AND AMULETS ASTROLOGERS BY ELECTION OF TIMES ET CETERA AS I SHALL ELSEWHERE DISCUSS
ites that make a show of great love, learning, pretend honesty, virtue, zeal, modesty, with affected looks and counterfeit gestures: feigned protestations often steal away the hearts and favours of men, and deceive them, specie virtutis et umbra, when as revera and indeed, there is no worth or honesty at all in them, no truth, but mere hypocrisy, subtlety, knavery, and the like. As true friends they are, as he that Caelius Secundus met by the highway side; and hard it is in this temporising age to distinguish such companions, or to find them out. Such gnathos as these for the most part belong to great men, and by this glozing flattery, affability, and such like philters, so dive and insinuate into their favours, that they are taken for men of excellent worth, wisdom, learning, demigods, and so screw themselves into dignities, honours, offices; but these men cause harsh confusion often, and as many times stirs as Rehoboam's counsellors in a commonwealth, overthrew themselves and others.  DISSEMBLING CHAMELEONS OUTSIDES HYPOCRITES THAT MAKE A SHOW OF GREAT LOVE LEARNING PRETEND HONESTY VIRTUE ZEAL MODESTY WITH AFFECTED LOOKS AND COUNTERFEIT GESTURES FEIGNED PROTESTATIONS OFTEN STEAL AWAY THE HEARTS AND FAVOURS OF MEN AND DECEIVE THEM SPECIE VERTUITIS ET UMBRA WHEN AS REVERE AND INDEED THERE IS NO WORTH OR HONESTY AT ALL IN THEM NO TRUTH BUT MERE HYPOCRISY SUBTLETY KNAVERY AND THE LIKE AS TRUE FRIENDS THEY ARE AS HE THAT CAILIUS SECUNDUS MET BY THE HIGHWAYSIDE AND HARD IT IS IN THIS TEMPORIZING AGE TO DISTINGUISH SUCH COMPANIONS OR TO FIND THEM OUT SUCH NOTHOS AS THESE FOR THE MOST PART BELONG TO GREAT MEN AND BY THIS GLOWSING FLATTERY AFFABILITY AND SUCH LIKE FILTERS SO DIVE AND INSINUATE INTO THEIR FAVORS THAT THEY ARE TAKEN FOR MEN OF EXCELLENT WORTH WISDOM LEARNING DEMIGODS AND SO SCREW THEMSELVES INTO DIGNITIES HONOURS OFFICES BUT THESE MEN CAUSE HARSH CONFUSION OFTEN AND AS MANY TIMES STIRS AS REHOBOMES COUNSELLORS IN A COMMONWEALTH OVERTHREW THEMSELVES AND OTHERS
