           Generally
           is
           this
           corollary
           comprized
           by
           
             Petrarch
          
           in

             Andreas
          
           the
           Bishop
           of
           
             Bononia

           There
           is
           nothing

           quoth
           he
           ,
           amongst
           all
           the
           difficulties
           of
           our
           life
           more

           then
           fidelity

           Therefore
           thou
           shalt
           perceave
           those
           which
           live

           often
           sorrowfull
           ,
           never
           equall

           alwaies
           various
           .
           I
           feare
           that
           saying

           Nothing
           sooner
           doth
           vanish
           ,
           and
           grow
           distastefull

           then
           affection

           The

           Therefore
           a

           reasons

           First
           least

           our selves
           suspected
           to
           our
           owne
           Country
           :
           and
           so
           we
           may
           returne
           either
           unwellcome

           The

           For
           it
           seemeth
           not

           many
           words
           of
           that

           I
           take

           proceede
           of
           a
           cowardly
           courage

           This
           take
           for
           a
           principall
           part
           of

           complaine
           not

           For

           blame
           Gods

           which
           gladly
           would
           live

           This
           was
           he
           which
           exceeded
           
             Cato

           For
           
             Cato

           and
           a
           sullen
           humour
           ;
           because
           he
           would
           not
           behold
           after
           his
           victory
           ,
           a
           pretended
           tyrant
           ,
           his
           enemy

           but
           this
           noble
           Emperour
           rather
           then
           he
           would
           engage
           his
           countrymen
           in
           a
           bloody
           quarrell
           ,
           chose
           to
           end
           his
           dayes
           on
           the
           point
           of
           a
           rapier
           .
           Not
           unlike
           was
           that
           Christian
           ,
           and
           truly
           worthy
           resolution
           of
           Capt.
           
             Nicholas
             Downton

           voyage
           where
           (
           after
           the
           retort
           of
           the
           
             Portugall

           he
           concludeth
           his
           Iournie
           ,
           and
           combat
           ,
           with
           this
           admirable
           resolution
           .
           After
           all
           these
           insultations
           (
           quoth
           hee
           )
           I
           was
           glad
           to
           see
           the
           Viceroy
           give
           over
           the
           hopes
           of
           his
           fortunes
           ,
           by
           further
           following
           of
           us
           ,
           which
           course
           I
           
           like
           very
           well
           ,
           since
           he
           is
           so
           patient
           ;
           for
           there
           is
           nothing
           under
           his
           foot
           which
           can
           make
           amends
           for
           the
           losse
           of
           the
           worst
           mans

           have

           Besides
           ,
           I
           wish
           no
           occasion

           ,
           which
           I
           have
           already
           paied
           for
           ,

           am
           already
           possessed
           on
           :
           and
           I
           am
           so
           farre
           from
           the
           humour
           to
           fight
           for
           honor
           ,
           unlesse
           for
           the
           honor
           of
           my
           King
           and
           Country
           ,
           that
           I
           would
           rather
           save
           the
           life
           or
           lives
           of
           one
           of

           then
           kill
           a
           thousand
           enemies

           Great
           and
           noble
           also
           was
