Ah dictum sapienti sat est, said he in the Comedian, which our proverb well Englisheth, A word is enough to the wise, to divert him from any thing that is evil, or Direct him in what is good; yea as venerable Bede observeth, Mos est Sages, ut dictis majorum auscultent, aliquando Minorum, A prudent man regards the admonition, not only of Superiors, but sometime even of Inferiors. And no wonder if Wisdom be so tractable, since she is gentle.
