Halaman 107 - Vegetius, to train young soldiers, by slight and small skirmishes, for more valorous and haughty proceedings. For such a shadowed kind of contention doth open the way and give courage unto them to argue matters in public place and courts of record.

Neither is it safe to trust to other men's abridgments, which are little available to such as have read a little ; but that which we by our own sweat and labor do gain, we do firmly retain, and in it we do principally delight.
Halaman 56 - Alcibiadis whose outward feature was deformed and ugly, but within they were full of jewels and precious stones: so the words of the law, though they be rude in sound, yet are they pregnant in sense.
Halaman 116 - ... do gaine, we do firmly retain, and in it we do principally delight ; and I am persuaded that there hath never been any learned in the law and judicial, who hath not made a collection of his own, though he hath not neglected the abridgments of others.
Halaman 69 - Judgement of a great state-man, the soundnesse of a deepe phylosopher, and the skil of a cunning ciuilian : learning in him hath shewed all her force, and he is therefore admirable, because he is absolute.
