The _Hungarians_, who had conspired against _Sigismundus_, being entred into his Palace with design to either to seize or kill him, the Emperour perceiv’d them and ran to them with a Dagger in his Hand: _Which of you_, said he to them, _will be so insolent as to abuse me? What have I done that deserves Death? If any one designs to strike me, let him come forward, I’ll defend my self._ These bold and resolute Words frighted the Conspirators to that degree, that they run away at that very instant. 33 Les _Hongrois_ qui avoient conspiré la perte de _Sigismond_, ètant entrez en son Palais, ou pour le prendre, ou pour le tuer, l’Empereur les apperçeut, & courut au devant d’eux, un Poignard à la main: _Qui de vous, leur dit-il, sera assez insolent pour me maltraiter? Qu’ai je fait qui merite la Mort? si quelqu’un a dessein de me frapper qu’il avance, je me defendrai._ Ces Paroles fierement prononcées épouvanterent tellement les conjurez; qu’ils prirent aussitôt la fuite. 34 A Modern Sage us’d to say, _That to be an Hypocrite was to go to Hell by the Road of Heaven_. 34 Un Sage Moderne disoit: _Que de faire l’Hypocrite c’étoit aller en Enfer par le chemin de Paradis_. 35 A Pope, before he was raised to the Soveraign Pontificate, out of a feign’d and politick Humility, caused his Table to be spread with a Fishing-net instead of a Table cloth; but assoon as he was advanced to that high Dignity which he courted, he told his Officers who would have served him as before: _Let me be served with Linnen, I have no more occasion for a Net now the Fish is caught_. 35 Un Pape, avant que d’être élevé au souverain Pontificat, faisoit, par une feinte & politique humilité, couvrir sa Table d’un rets de Pescheur au lieu d’une Nappe, mais aussi-tôt qu’il fut parvenu à cette éminente dignité qu’il ambitionnoit, il dit à ses Officiers qui le vouloient servir à l’ordinaire: _Servez moy de linge, je n’ai plus besoin de filet, le Poisson est pris_. 36 A Buffoon told one Day King _Francis_ the First, that he had a Book of Fools, wherein he had writ the Name of the Emperour _Charles_ the V. the King ask’d him the Reason; _because_, said he, _by passing through France, he exposes himself to be stopt_. But what wilt thou say, continued the King, if not only I let him pass, but likewise deliver up to him those Places I have promised him: _Do you know_, said the Buffoon, _What I will do? I’ll blot_ Charles the V’_s_. _name out of my Book, and writ yours instead of his_. 36
