prove_v they_o for_o first_o experience_n show_v we_o that_o as_o man_n fall_v in_o corporal_a strength_n so_o his_o judgement_n begin_v to_o grow_v weak_a and_o frail_a but_o the_o sense_n and_o understanding_n remain_v in_o purity_n and_o virtue_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n and_o force_n natural_a be_v power_n material_a and_o subject_a to_o alteration_n and_o change_n but_o the_o sense_n and_o understanding_n be_v not_o material_a can_v not_o therefore_o fall_v into_o mutation_n but_o by_o some_o accident_n and_o by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o body_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o aristotle_n that_o the_o understanding_n wax_v not_o old_a although_o the_o body_n do_v and_o therefore_o there_o may_v be_v sometime_o wherein_o man_n may_v lose_v all_o his_o corporal_a force_n afore_o the_o understanding_n taste_v of_o any_o such_o infirmity_n but_o to_o say_v that_o that_o time_n may_v be_v reduce_v into_o a_o age_n to_o call_v it_o old_a age_n it_o can_v not_o well_o be_v so_o for_o that_o the_o sense_n and_o understanding_n be_v weaken_v in_o old_a age_n so_o that_o that_o age_n may_v be_v call_v unwieldiness_n according_a to_o the_o etymelogie_n of_o isidore_n say_v thus_o some_o think_v the_o latin_v call_v old_a man_n senes_fw-la because_o of_o the_o debility_n of_o sense_n fall_v upon_o old_a man_n who_o the_o greatness_n of_o age_n make_v rave_v and_o subject_a to_o incertain_a fancy_n the_o natural_a philosopher_n say_v also_o that_o fond_a man_n and_o idiot_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n their_o blood_n cold_a as_o man_n wise_a and_o well_o compound_v have_v it_o hot_a and_o stir_a the_o same_o be_v the_o occasion_n that_o old_a man_n have_v their_o blood_n cold_a and_o young_a child_n in_o who_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o hot_a enough_o be_v not_o resolute_a in_o their_o judgement_n so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a error_n to_o compare_v together_o old_a man_n and_o child_n as_o equal_v in_o temperature_n for_o dote_v old_a man_n be_v foolish_a by_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o age_n and_o in_o young_a child_n be_v no_o power_n of_o judgement_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o minority_n second_o this_o second_o opinion_n which_o establish_v only_o six_o age_n be_v most_o common_o approve_v of_o wiseman_n and_o agree_v with_o the_o judgement_n of_o jsidore_n that_o the_o philosopher_n have_v distinguish_v the_o life_n of_o man_n by_o those_o six_o term_n three_o this_o second_o opinion_n have_v a_o similitude_n with_o the_o name_n which_o the_o greek_n have_v attribute_v to_o age_n call_v that_o which_o follow_v youth_n presbyter_n and_o in_o place_n of_o old_a age_n they_o use_v geron_o so_o that_o presbyter_n be_v a_o other_o age_n then_o old_a age_n as_o also_o jsidore_n call_v it_o vnweldinesse_n and_o sure_o those_o that_o stand_v in_o that_o estate_n and_o proportion_n of_o age_n may_v be_v call_v neither_o young_a nor_o old_a but_o
