PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.

The following "sententious truths" are extracted from Bishop Jewel's grand performance, A Defense of the Apologie of the Churche of Englande, fol. 1571, a work as remarkable for "the pomp and charms" of its eloquence, as for the profound erudition, and the consummate ability, with which its "good doctrine" is exhibited and enforced. In common, however, with the other productions of this illustrious champion of the Reformation, it has an additional and most attractive feature; one, indeed, which, less or more, characterises all the literary achievements of the gigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the "very dust of whose writings is gold."[1] The "Defense" abounds with proverbial folk-lore of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and appositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to the reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a self-evident proposition—for who would think for a moment of questioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular adage?
