FOOTNOTES:

[151] A too literal translation of the French word _legierement_, which

ought here to have been rendered _readily_, rather than _lightly_.

+ _Of him that vsed to cal his servant the kinge of foles._ ix.

+ There was a man that had a dulle lumpisshe felow to his seruant,

wherfore he vsed commonly to call him the kinge of fooles. The felow at

laste waxed angry in his minde to be alway so called and sayde to his

mayster: I wolde that I were the kinge of foles: for then no man coulde

compare with me in largenes of kingedome, and also you shulde be my

subiect. By this one may perceiue, that to moch of one thing is not

good: many one calleth an other fole, and is more fole him selfe.
