8. There is a great antlfuthy between the i 
and the Lion j the Aft being a crafty, fubtil crea- j 
ture, but the Lion ( as we faid,C«/». 6. ) hateth all ! 
manner of crafcynefs ; the antifathj between the I 
Lion and the Afe is further feen in this j that if j 
the Llonht fick of any difeale, he can no waies be 
cured but by eating of the flelh of an Afe. <t/Ell- ^ 
an laith, that among the Indians, no A^es that are 
ted are fuffered to come into their Cities, becaule ; 
they are fo luftful and lafcivious , infomuch, thgt I 
they oftentimes alfault the women. They will' 
know their Mailers where they are long kept, and 
will remember any injury that is done unto them, , 
but will as long feign their anger, untill they have 
a fit opportunity to revenge it ; an Ape is an Ape, 
though cloathed in never fo rich garments ; al- 
though by fools and children he may be taken and 
fainted for a man , yet he cannot hide his natural 
deformity. Gregory Nlcene telleth us of an Ape, 
who being cloathed in very rich habit, did dance 
very exaftly, according to the Mufick, in the City 
of Alexandria , and that for a long while toge- 
ther, untill one of the company throwing forae 
nuts to him, he left off his dancing, and fell to ga- 
thering up of the nuts, to the great laughter of the 
beholders ; like, as many men, who are intruded 
in great Offices, honoured by all men ; yet if any 
private gain offereth it felfto them, they prefently 
difcover that fecret wickednefs that lyeth bid.
