The Renaissance

Abstract Thomas Smith jr. and Sir Humphrey Gilbert debated for Marcellus, Thomas Smith senior and Dr Walter Haddon for Fabius Maximus, before an audience at Hill Hall consisting at the time of me, John Wood, and several other gentlemen. At length the son and Sir Humphrey yielded to the distinguished Secretary; perhaps Marcellus yielded to Fabius. Both of them worthy men, and judicious. Marcellus the more powerful; Fabius the more cunning. The former was not weak, nor the latter imprudent; each as necessary as the other in his place. There are times when I would rather be Marcellus, times when I would rather be Fabius.

and Sir Humphrey Gilbert debated for Marcellus, Thomas Smith senior and Dr Walter Haddon for Fabius Maximus, before an audience at Hill Hall consisting at the time of me, John Wood, and several other gentlemen.
At length the son and Sir Humphrey yielded to the distinguished Secretary; perhaps Marcellus yielded to Fabius.
Both of them worthy men, and judicious.
Marcellus the more powerful; Fabius the more cunning.
The former was not weak, nor the latter imprudent; each as necessary as the other in his place.
There are times when I would rather be Marcellus, times when I would rather be Fabius.
