the_o author_n allow_v to_o be_v a_o famous_a art_n heretofore_o be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n the_o matter_n of_o which_o before_o i_o answer_v i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o give_v you_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n mechanic_n the_o rather_o because_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o trade_n of_o which_o the_o company_n of_o stationer_n be_v compose_v and_o more_o particular_o the_o bookseller_n who_o say_v they_o be_v of_o no_o manufacture_n do_v peremptory_o deny_v themselves_o to_o be_v mechanic_n trade_n the_o word_n mechanicus_fw-la which_o signify_v a_o

if_o that_o be_v deficient_a let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o original_a greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v a_o cunning_a contrivance_n of_o the_o head_n as_o well_o as_o hand_n and_o this_o will_v 1._o certain_o take_v in_o all_o trade_n for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v cunning_a in_o all_o trade_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v miss_v any_o yet_o it_o can_v fail_v of_o the_o

objection_n that_o a_o famous_a art_n can_v be_v a_o mechanic_n trade_n 2._o i_o answer_v this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n but_o be_v good_a or_o

despicable_a in_o the_o world_n both_o in_o name_n and_o nature_n than_o a_o common_a fiddler_n though_o he_o may_v draw_v as_o good_a a_o sound_n out_o of_o a_o instrument_n and_o have_v as_o much_o art_n in_o play_v and_o compose_v as_o any_o gentleman_n yet_o if_o he_o get_v his_o live_n by_o it_o and_o make_v it_o his_o trade_n he_o be_v still_o but_o a_o fiddler_n and_o herein_o i_o pity_v he_o more_o than_o any_o of_o other_o profession_n because_o he_o pervert_v the_o creation_n and_o turn_v day_n into_o night_n for_o most_o common_o when_o sober_a person_n be_v in_o bed_n he_o must_v
