Caxton 1, folio345r image
 And is to be benygne ouer his subgette / werfore as saith  
 Seneke / Ther is nothyng more couenable to man of high  
 estate than debonayrte / 394 And these flyes that men clepen  
 Bees whan they make her kynge / they chesen one that hath  
 non prykke wherwith he may stynge / 395 Another is a man  
 to haue a noble herte and a diligent tatteyne to hye vertuo9  
 thynges / 396 Certes also who that prydeth in the goodis of for-  
 tune he is ful lyke a grete fole / For somtyme a man is a  
 ful grete man by the morow / that is a wrecche or a caytyf  
 or it be nyght / 397 And somtyme delytes of man ben cause of  
 greuous maladye thorugh whiche he deyeth 398 Certes the com  
 mendacion of the peple is somtyme ful fals and ful brotyl  
 for to truste This day they preyse / to morow they blame / 399 god  
 woot / Eke desire to haue comendacion of the peple hath cau /  
 sed deth to many a man 400 Now certes a man to pryde hym  
 in the goodis of grace is eke an outrageous folye for the yef  
 tes of grace that shold haue torned hym to goodnes and  
 to medecyne tornyth to venym and to confusion / as saith  
 seynt Gregore / 401 Now sith that so is that ye haue vnderstonde  
 what is pryde and whiche ben the spicis of hit / and how  
 mennys pryde sourdeth and spryngith / 402 Now shal ye vnder  
 ande whiche is the remedye agaynst pryde / And that is  
 humylyte or mekenes / 403 That is a vertu thurgh whiche man  
 hath very knowleche of hym self and holdeth of hym self  
 no deynte ne no pryce as in regard of his desertes conside-  
 ryng euer his freelte / 404 Now ben ther thre maners of humy  
 lyte / as humylyte in herte / and another in the mouth / and  
 þe thirde in werkis / 405 The humylite in herte is in foure maners  
 that is whan a mā holdeth hym self as nought worth bifore
