322 NOTES. 



Latin, and is made use of by Bacon (Nov. Org. i. 123) for illustrating 

 the difference between his own philosophy, which he compares to wine, 

 and the philosophy which was current in his time. 



P. 216. [4] Virg. JEn. vi. 894. [18] See p. 133, 1. 21. [19] inquired 

 in rational and moral knowledges : i. e. investigated with reference to 

 what is known in reason and morals. Lat. sijuxta moralis doctriiuz scita 

 illud contemplemur. [22] agile: agill in edd. 1605, 1629, 1633. The 

 same spelling is found in the early quartos of Shakespeare, Romeo and 

 Juliet, iii. i. 162. [24] easy: easilye in ed. 1605; easie, edd. 1629, 

 1633. [28, 29] which have neither strength of honesty, nor substance 

 of sufficiency : Lat. Hits tamen non suppetit out probitas animi ut velint out 

 vires ut possint recte agere. Sufficiency is here used in the sense of 

 capacity, ability, as in 2 Cor. iii. 5, ix. 8, and in Bacon, Essay Iv. 

 p. 221 ; such as have great places under princes, and execute their places 

 with sufficiency [30] that can neither become themselves: i.e. who 

 can neither act gracefully. Lat. qui tamen nee sibi ipsis ornamento sunt. 

 [31] And those in whom this conjunction is found, he adds in the Latin, 

 are men endued with a kind of stoic gloom and insensibility, who do the 

 deeds of virtue but enjoy none of its pleasures. [33] reduced to stupid : 

 i. e. rendered stupid. Compare leaveth it for suspect, p. 81, 1. 12. Mr. 

 Kitchin suggests stupidity or stupor. 



P. 217. [3] De Augm. viii. i. [6] Plutarch, Cato, 8. [7] a man 

 were better : i. e. might better, which is the reading of some modern 

 editions. [8, 9] if you could get but some few go right : i. e. to go 

 right. See Abbott s Shakespeare Grammar, 349. [16] 2 Chron. xx. 3^, 

 of the kingdom of Judah under Jehoshaphat. The early editions have 

 dixerat for direxerat, but the latter is the correct reading of the De Aug- 

 mentis. [20] Gen. xl. [23, 24] These respects . . . knowledge: Instead 

 of this sentence the Latin has, Hoc denique Ethicam gravat, Politico suc- 

 currit. [28] comfort, use, and protection : The Latin explains these as 

 comfort against solitude, assistance in business, and protection against 

 injuries. 



P. 218. [2] In the Latin, the value of conversation is compared to 

 that of action in oratory. [3] Ovid, De Arte Amat. ii. 312. [6] 

 Quintus Cicero, in his book De Petitione Consulatus (xi. 44), says: 

 Curaque ut aditus ad te diurni nocturnique pateant ; neque solum foribus 

 adium tuarum sed etiam vultu ac fronte qua est animi janua ; qua si 

 significat voluntatem abditam esse ac retrusam, parvi refert patere ostinm. 

 [10] Cicero, Ep. ad Att. ix. 12. [u] the war depending: Lat. bello 

 adhuc fervente. [17] Livy, xxiii. 12: Si reticeam aut superbus out ob- 

 noxins videar, &c. [23] affectation: affection in ed. 1605; corrected 

 in Errata and edd. 1629, 1633. [Ib.] Quid deformius, &c. See An- 

 titheta, xxxiv. [31] form: howr in ed. 1605, corrected to fourme 

 in Errata: forme is the reading of ed. 1629, hour of ed. 1633.
