top_n of_o all_o wisdom_n contain_v in_o a_o perfect_a life_n be_v place_v in_o the_o quietness_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o comprehend_v in_o the_o brevity_n of_o speech_n with_o which_o they_o come_v to_o touch_v the_o very_a quick_a and_o pith_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o i_o desire_v to_o take_v this_o course_n not_o as_o one_o presumptuous_a or_o over-arrogant_a trust_v unto_o the_o excellency_n of_o my_o own_o wit_n but_o because_o of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o my_o body_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o my_o memory_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v willing_o tie_v and_o close_o up_o that_o in_o few_o speech_n which_o otherwise_o i_o can_v if_o i_o lift_v draw_v out_o at_o length_n and_o display_v if_o at_o large_a and_o if_o by_o chance_n it_o shall_v happen_v to_o i_o as_o it_o sometime_o do_v unto_o anacarsis_n who_o discourse_v upon_o a_o certain_a argument_n there_o be_v diverse_a man_n that_o all_o the_o time_n rann_v up_o and_o down_o make_v a_o noise_n about_o

because_o the_o generation_n of_o live_a creature_n shall_v not_o want_v and_o then_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o such_o as_o shall_v nourish_v and_o comfort_v we_o in_o our_o old_a age_n and_o because_o mortal_a man_n live_v not_o under_o the_o open_a air_n and_o in_o broad_a field_n as_o other_o creature_n do_v but_o under_o a_o shelter_n and_o in_o house_n it_o be_v convenient_a that_o

in_o certain_a old_a fragment_n as_o reversion_n of_o bias_n and_o other_o who_o say_v if_o thou_o take_v a_o fair_a woman_n unto_o thy_o wife_n she_o will_v be_v common_a and_o if_o a_o foul_a one_o it_o will_v be_v a_o penance_n unto_o thou_o to_o behold_v she_o the_o same_o be_v retort_v and_o turn_v quite_o contrary_a all_o o_fw-it reverso_fw-it in_o this_o manner_n by_o pitacus_n mitalenus_n

if_o a_o foul_a one_o why_o then_o she_o will_v not_o be_v common_a or_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v well_o thus_o if_o thou_o choose_v a_o fair_a one_o thou_o own_o wisdom_n shall_v keep_v she_o unto_o

that_o very_o same_o beauty_n which_o we_o see_v in_o sweet_a gentlewoman_n face_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o the_o right_a glitter_a lustre_n and_o glorious_a brightness_n of_o a_o victorious_a
