(LATE LORD BISHOP OF NORWICH.)
AND A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
"The world is like an inn; for there
We call and storm, and curse and swear;
While undisturb'd a Christian waits
And reads and writes and meditates."
[Written by BP. HORNE at an Inn.]
"The writing in Aphorisms hath many excellent virtues, whereto
the writing in method doth not approach, for Aphorisms, except they
be ridiculous, cannot be made but of the pith and heart of sciences;
for discourse of illustration is cut off-recitals of example are cut off
-discourse of connection and order is cut off-descriptions of practice
are cut off so there remaineth nothing to fill the Aphorisms but some
good quantity of observation; and, therefore, no man can suffice, nor
in reason will attempt, to write Aphorisms, but he that is sound and
grounded."-BACON.
