“Aristrotal, in his book of Rhetoric, showeth thy cause why youth is more bolth, and contrariwise old age more fearful: for unto thine youth, stallions lack experience which is cause for great boldness, and to the other, experience of many griefs engendereth fear and doubting. Then if there by anything in thine world that should be taken in hand with fear and doubting, yea, that ought by all manner of means to be fled, to be withstood with prayer, and to be cleanly avoided. Verily it is war: than which nothing is either more wicked, or more wretched, or that more farther destroyeth, or that never hand cleaveth sorer so, or doth more hurt, or is more horrible, and briefly to speak, nothing doth worse become ponykind (Thine will not say a Celestian pony) than war.”
