several_a other_o noble_a man_n who_o be_v destitute_a of_o divine_a grace_n although_o at_o first_o be_v famous_a for_o many_o noble_a and_o heroic_a action_n and_o will_v stick_v at_o no_o danger_n

sometime_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o as_o the_o leopard_n hide_v himself_o feign_v himself_o to_o be_v dead_a or_o asleep_o the_o easy_a to_o ensnare_v his_o prey_n so_o the_o devil_n oftentimes_o cover_v his_o temptation_n with_o fallacy_n and_o deceit_n the_o better_a to_o take_v the_o simple_a and_o as_o the_o leopard_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o

be_v much_o crafty_a and_o now_o in_o these_o late_a age_n he_o be_v more_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a by_o how_o much_o the_o near_o he_o see_v his_o judgement_n come_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v

he_o can_v not_o subdue_v the_o grecian_a monarchy_n so_o likewise_o the_o persian_n when_o they_o fight_v against_o hellespont_n where_o a_o vast_a army_n of_o the_o persian_n be_v easy_o overcome_v by_o alexander_n the_o great_a as_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v more_o at_o large_a in_o q._n curtius_n 3._o as_o bear_n be_v observe_v to_o have_v very_o weak_a head_n several_a of_o they_o at_o

compare_v to_o a_o scholastical_a and_o philosophical_a life_n for_o instance_n the_o bear_n at_o first_o when_o young_a be_v very_o deform_v creature_n until_o she_o by_o lick_v they_o have_v bring_v

second_o as_o the_o bear_n have_v a_o great_a love_n and_o affection_n to_o her_o young_a one_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o scholar_n do_v set_v a_o high_a price_n and_o value_n upon_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o their_o study_n three_o as_o the_o bear_n be_v so_o good_a at_o climb_v of_o tree_n thus_o learned_a man_n shall_v make_v it_o their_o chief_a business_n to_o seek_v those_o thing_n
