“XXVII. Ever to mind⟳ and conſider with thy ſelf, how all things that now are, have⟳ been heretofore much after the ſame ſort, and after the ſame faſhion that now they are: and ſo to think⟳ of thoſe things which ſhall be hereafter alſo. Moreover, whole dramata, and uniform ſcenes, [or, ſcenes that comprehend the lives and actions of men of one calling and profeſſion,] as many as either in thine own⟳ experience⟳ thou haſt known, or by reading of ancient Hiſtories; (as the whole Court of Adrianus, the whole Court of Antoninus Pius, the whole Court of Philippus, that of Alexander, that of Crœſus:) to ſet them all before thine eyes. For thou ſhalt find⟳ that they are all but after one ſort and faſhion: [or, all of the ſame kind and nature:] onely that the actours were others.”
