章節(jié)摘錄

　　What is truth？ said jesting Pilate， and would not stay for ananswer. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness, and count it abondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as inacting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone,yet there remain certain discoursing wits which are of the sameveins, though there be not so much blood in them as was in thoseof the ancients. But it is not only the difficulty and labour, whichmen take in finding out of truth, nor again that when it is found itimposeth upon mens thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but anatural though corrupt love of the lie itself. One of the later schoolof the Grecians examineth the matter, and is at a stand to thinkwhat should be in it, that men should love lies; where neither theymake for pleasure, as with poets; nor for advantage, as with themerchant; but for the lies sake. But I cannot tell: this same truth isa naked and open day-light, that doth not shew the masques andmummeries and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintilyas candle-lights.
