of_o it_o reply_v i._o then_o by_o consequence_n say_v he_o death_n be_v no_o evil_a since_o it_o be_v sometime_o more_o advantageous_a to_o die_v than_o to_o live_v the_o same_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v say_v concern_v sickness_n and_o health_n there_o be_v certain_a time_n and_o certain_a occurrence_n wherein_o health_n will_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o we_o and_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o make_v the_o same_o consideration_n of_o wealth_n do_v we_o not_o daily_o see_v that_o some_o very_a rich_a man_n live_v a_o lewd_a and_o miserable_a life_n no_o no_o continue_v he_o wealth_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o happy_a life_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o wealthy_a for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v the_o most_o unhappy_a let_v we_o then_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o wealth_n but_o true_a doctrine_n that_o beget_v a_o inclination_n to_o goodness_n and_o thence_o it_o just_o follow_v that_o riches_n be_v not_o to_o be_v number_v among_o good_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v not_o make_v man_n better_o or_o more_o happy_a so_o that_o as_o they_o be_v hurtful_a to_o those_o who_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o use_v they_o so_o can_v they_o not_o be_v account_v good_n since_o it_o be_v sometime_o advantageous_a to_o be_v without_o they_o if_o therefore_o there_o be_v any_o one_o that_o know_v how_o to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o they_o he_o shall_v live_v happy_a if_o not_o he_o shall_v be_v miserable_a in_o fine_a to_o sum_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n that_o which_o create_v disorder_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v the_o opinion_n they_o have_v of_o these_o kind_n of_o thing_n some_o shun_v they_o as_o the_o source_n of_o all_o evil_n and_o other_o seek_v after_o they_o as_o true_a good_n imagine_v that_o by_o their_o mean_n only_o they_o may_v become_v happy_a nay_o they_o be_v so_o fix_v in_o this_o persuasion_n that_o to_o attain_v these_o they_o make_v no_o difficulty_n of_o commit_v the_o great_a enormity_n and_o most_o detestable_a action_n which_o happen_v to_o they_o because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o true_a good_n odaxius_n they_o know_v not_o that_o from_o evil_a there_o never_o proceed_v any_o good_a they_o consider_v not_o that_o most_o man_n have_v acquire_v their_o wealth_n and_o possession_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o crime_n as_o by_o perfidiousness_n robbery_n murder_n rapine_n and_o other_o enormous_a action_n if_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o good_a proceed_v from_o evil_a and_o yet_o that_o riches_n be_v many_o time_n the_o production_n of_o crime_n it_o inevitable_o follow_v that_o riches_n can_v be_v call_v good_n again_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v incompatible_a and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o acquire_v wisdom_n and_o justice_n by_o bad_a action_n so_o will_v it_o not_o ever_o be_v grant_v that_o extravagance_n and_o injustice_n can_v proceed_v from_o any_o good_a cause_n since_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a that_o nothing_o hinder_v but_o that_o riches_n glory_n victory_n and_o other_o thing_n of_o that_o kind_n may_v happen_v to_o we_o by_o lawful_a way_n let_v we_o make_v this_o conclusion_n that_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a and_o that_o proper_o speak_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o wisdom_n be_v a_o good_a and_o nothing_o but_o folly_n that_o be_v evil._n a_o
