To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the backbiter is bound in reason and religion to restore the good name of his neighbour, which he by detraction hath taken away ; and that is exceeding hard, for a man's honest fame is like the merchant's wealth, got in many years, and lost in an hour. Wherefore speak well of all men always, if it may be done with truth ; and when it cannot, then be silent : or else interrupt evil detraction with other meet and merry communication, as Samson at his marriage feast propounded a riddle to his ...friends, hereby to stop the mouths of backbiters, and to occupy their wits another way, Bernard excellently, the tale-bearer hath the devil in his tongue ; the receiver, in his ear. The thief doth send one only to the devil, the adulterer two : but the slanderer 4mrteth three ; himself, the party to whom, and the party of whom he telleth the tale. Ter homicida (saith Luther, ) uno ictu tres occidit : unus est qui loquitur, et unum tantum verbum profert, et tamen illud unum verbum uno in memento, multitudinis audientium dum aures iuficit, animas interficit.
