The worst gallows-bird, empty of all ability, of all cleverness, of all fear of the lyOrd, is qualified to apply himself to this "delight. " He too may carry the horn which hangs about his neck; he too may jump about like mad, 148 SOURCE-BOOK OF THE GERMAN RENAISSANCE.
and race his horse here and there through field a...nd forest, and fill the air with cries; he too in peril of life and health may fol- low the game and shoot it with bow or gun or run it down with hunting-spear.

Therefore he shall apply himself to use with ease the noblest of tongues in reading and in speaking and particu- larly in oral intercourse with foreigners; he shall consider it furthermore his duty to learn the customs of the ancients and the manners of foreign lands; he shall make himself acquainted with historical statements and relations, such as serve for agreeable and witty entertainment or for elevating instruction; then too, the holy councils, which attend to the interests of the individual and of the state, as well as to public and civic wel- fare, should not be unfamiliar to him; in the range of his knowledge he should include the arts of peace and war, as well as the proper training of children, and law and equity, which may serve for the defence of justice and the maintenance of right.
