contemnere, si non
habeas si habeas, ad beneficentiam liberalitem que conferre. "There
is no surer characteristic of a narrow and little mind than to love
riches, nothing more amiable and noble than to despise money if you
possess it not--if you possess it, to be beneficent and liberal in
the use of it." Cic. De Offic. lib. i. cap. 20.--_Ed._]

500 [That is, "It is difficult things that are admired."--_Ed._]

501 [Excites.--_Ed._]

502 [From these, as from mount Pisgah.--_Ed._]

503 [That is, not "by a leap."--_Ed._]

508 [That is, _the way in which you will take or receive._--_Ed._]

509 [That is, the duty of sobriety.--_Ed._]

510 [Much more.--_Ed._]

511 [It must be perceived that the reading ought to be "overcome _like_
the Archangel."--_Ed._]

516 [That is, disposed. The word, though now obsolete, is found in
Hooker.--_Ed._]

517 [That is, that hang _low_, and take a _sweep_ of every thing by the
way.--_Ed._]

518 [A single word appears to have dropped out here, the absence of
which materially changes the meaning of the author, and makes him
contradict himself. The sentence, it is conceived, ought to run
thus:--faith and a good conscience scarce sail _but_ in one bottom,
that is, _in one ship_.--_Ed._]

519 [That is, insipid.--_Ed._]

520 [Upon the earth.--_Ed._]

521 ["It is hard to find many who are not tipplers or common drunkards,

Lord's Wrath, p. 17. printed in the year 1653.--_Ed._]
