understanding_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o this_o supposition_n we_o may_v still_o save_v our_o liberty_n in_o that_o when_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o act_v and_o prepare_v it_o be_v

though_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o cicero_n folly_n mistake_v error_n blindness_n and_o ignorance_n of_o thing_n seem_v to_o have_v introduce_v and_o bring_v in_o fashion_n the_o name_n of_o nature_n and_o fortune_n and_o that_o therefore_o fortune_n can_v be_v without_o ignorance_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o general_o agree_v upon_o that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o foolish_a vain_a and_o imaginary_a name_n see_v there_o be_v many_o that_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o cause_n but_o a_o divine_a cause_n which_o occasion_v these_o verse_n of_o juvenal_n fortune_fw-mi

to_o say_v that_o it_o happen_v beyond_o the_o expectation_n and_o intention_n of_o he_o that_o act_v so_o that_o he_o who_o dig_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o pit_n make_v in_o the_o earth_n be_v also_o the_o cause_n by_o accident_n of_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o treasure_n it_o be_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o the_o notion_n of_o fortune_n be_v common_o explain_v nevertheless_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o this_o name_n that_o something_o else_o i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v understand_v and_o that_o they_o call_v not_o proprerly_a fortune_n either_o he_o who_o dig_v or_o his_o action_n therefore_o often_o we_o call_v a_o casual_a thing_n by_o the_o name_n of_o fortune_n or_o that_o which_o happen_v unexpected_o and_o it_o seem_v by_o this_o name_n of_o fortune_n we_o be_v to_o

discovery_n of_o the_o treasure_n it_o be_v not_o only_o requisite_a that_o some_o shall_v dig_v in_o the_o earth_n but_o that_o some_o other_o body_n shall_v first_o hide_v the_o money_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o fortune_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o discovery_n be_v the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o hide_v of_o the_o money_n and_o of_o the_o dige_n in_o the_o earth_n in_o that_o place_n i_o

with_o a_o design_n that_o he_o who_o he_o foresee_v will_v dig_v in_o the_o earth_n shall_v find_v it_o in_o this_o case_n the_o event_n be_v not_o true_o casual_a in_o regard_n of_o he_o who_o

of_o they_o foresee_v what_o will_v happen_v from_o thence_o a_o eminent_a example_n of_o this_o be_v instance_a in_o delay_v the_o death_n of_o socrates_n after_o sentence_n have_v be_v pronounce_v

and_o destiny_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v how_o fortune_n and_o liberty_n either_o contradict_v or_o may_v agree_v with_o destiny_n to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o liberty_n and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o we_o mean_v not_o precise_o such_o a_o liberty_n as_o be_v take_v in_o opposition_n to_o slavery_n that_o which_o relate_v proper_o to_o the_o

reason_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o the_o understanding_n because_o reason_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o arbitrator_n between_o party_n or_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o examine_v to_o consult_v and_o deliberate_v and_o at_o last_o to_o decide_v as_o the_o judgement_n be_v sway_v upon_o what_o we_o ought_v or_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v in_o a_o doubtful_a case_n second_o that_o as_o

refuse_v it_o and_o make_v choice_n of_o something_o else_o true_o we_o usual_o ascribe_v this_o liberty_n to_o the_o will_n or_o to_o the_o reasonable_a appetite_n which_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o the_o original_a of_o liberty_n be_v in_o reason_n which_o we_o common_o call_v understanding_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o intellective_a power_n for_o we_o usual_o hold_v that_o the_o will_n be_v a_o faculty_n or_o power_n of_o itself_o blind_a which_o can_v incline_v to_o any_o thing_n till_o the_o understanding_n go_v before_o and_o hold_v forth_o if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v a_o light_n before_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o understanding_n to_o precede_v and_o enlighten_v and_o of_o the_o will_v to_o follow_v so_o that_o

of_o liberty_n seem_v first_o to_o consist_v in_o a_o indifferency_n by_o which_o the_o faculty_n which_o be_v name_v free_a may_v incline_v or_o not_o incline_v to_o any_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v

of_o contrariety_n and_o in_o truth_n as_o we_o can_v imagine_v any_o liberty_n without_o a_o faculty_n free_a to_o choose_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o
