Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. THAT MEN BY VARIOUS WAYS ARRIVE AT THE SAME END. The most usual way of appeasing the indignation of such as we have any way offended, when we see them in possession of the power of revenge, and find that we absolutely lie at their mercy, is by submission, to move them to commiseration and pity; and yet bravery, constancy, and resolution, however quite contrary means, have sometimes served to produce the same effect. ?[Florio?s version begins thus: ?The most vsuall waie to appease those minds wee have offended, when revenge lies in their hands, and that we stand at their mercie, is by submission to move them to commiseration and pity: Neuertheless, courage, constancie, and resolution (means altogether opposite) have sometimes wrought the same effect. {The spelling is Florio?s D.W.}]
