and Respects’ (p. 212): ‘Salomon saith; He that considereth the wind, 
shall not sow, and he that looketh to the clouds, shall not reape. A wise 
man will make more opportunities then he findes. Mens behaviour 
should be like their apparell, not too strait, or point device, but free 
for exercise or motion.’ The whole Essay should be read in connection

the margin of a copy of the Advancement of Learning (ed. 1605) in the 
Cambridge Univ. Library is ‘per il Guazzo, that is, Stefano Guazzo, 
who wrote La Civil Conversatione in four books, The first three 
books were translated into English by George Pettie in 1581. Another

travels: ‘An authority of an English proverb, made in despite of 
learning, that the greatest clerks are not the wisest men.’ (Spedding’s 
Letters and Life of Bacon, ii. 12.) See Montaigne, Ess. i. 24, and 
a saying of Heraclitus of Ephesus, moAvpadin vdov od diddoxe (Diog.

wisdom of behaviour. [30] except some few scattered advertisements: 
Lat. preter pauca quedam monita civilia in fasciculum unum vel alterum

manipulo instructi. 
P. 220. [2] and outshoot them in their own bow: Lat. et proprio 
illorum (quod dicitur) arcu usi magis e longinquo ferirent. Bacon uses

§§ 133,134. [Ib.] it was then in use: i.e. in the times of which he 
was writing, a little before his own. Lat. paulo ante sua secula, [12] 
in the Place: Lat. in foro, [20] cases: So in ed. 1605; ‘causes’ in 
ed, 1629, 1633. Lat. in casibus particularibus. [21] cases: ‘causes’ 
in edd. 1605, 1629, 1633. Lat. casuum consimilium. Perhaps we
