So upon the whole matter , there is not that reason to expect either much truth , or great instruction , from what is written concerning Hero's or Princes ; for few have been able to imitate the patterns Suetonius set the World in writing the Lives of the Roman Emperours , with the same freedom that they had led them : But the Lives of private Men , though they seldom entertain the Reader with such a variety of passages as the other do ; Yet certainly they offer him things that are more imitable , and do present Wisdom and Virtue to him , not only in a fair Idea , which is often look't on as a piece of the Invention or Fancy of the Writer , but in such plain and familiar instances , as do both direct him better , and perswade him more ; And there are not such temptations to biass those who writ them , so that we may generally depend more on the truth of such relations as are given in them .	cache/A30381.xml	txt/A30381.txt
