Against fantasticall scruplenes.

Chap. 28.

1 At this time and that time[1] some make a great matter, som help not but hinder the poore with their clatter. Take custome from feasting, what commeth then last, where one hath a dinner, a hundred shall fast. 2 To dog in the manger some liken I could, that hay will eate none, nor let other that would; Some scarce in a yeere giue a dinner or twoo, nor well can abide any other to doo. 3 Play thou the good fellow, seeke none to misdeeme, disdaine not the honest, though merie they seeme: For oftentimes seene, no more verie a knaue than he that doth counterfait most to be graue.
