The Accademicks held it better farre
Quite to distrust th' Imagination ,
Then to beleeue all which it doth auerre,
Which breeds more false, then true opinion:
Then, sith the case so slands with this Soules Powre,
We should suspend our Iudgment, sith Things seeme,
Not as they bee (though Since the same assure)
But, bee (but in Conceite) as them we deeme:
For, through the Sences Chanells that doth runne
That is conuaid to the Intelligence :
Then, Sence (as in the greatnesse of the Sunne )
Beeing deceau'd, deceaues eache inward Sence:
O then, for Men , who seeke but good to show,
How long ought wee suspect they are not so?
