the_o lion_n skin_n go_v to_o and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o this_o happiness_n of_o christian_n which_o they_o pursue_v with_o so_o much_o toil_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o madness_n and_o folly_n far_o be_v it_o that_o my_o word_n shall_v give_v any_o offence_n rather_o consider_v my_o matter_n and_o first_o the_o christian_n and_o platonic_n do_v as_o good_a as_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v plunge_v and_o fetter_a in_o the_o prison_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o grossness_n of_o which_o it_o be_v so_o tie_v up_o and_o hinder_v that_o it_o can_v take_v a_o view_n of_o or_o enjoy_v thing_n as_o they_o true_o be_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n their_o master_n define_v philosophy_n to_o be_v a_o contemplation_n of_o death_n because_o it_o take_v off_o the_o mind_n from_o visible_a and_o corporeal_a object_n than_o which_o death_n do_v no_o more_o and_o therefore_o as_o long_o as_o the_o soul_n use_v the_o organ_n of_o the_o body_n in_o that_o right_a manner_n it_o ought_v so_o long_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o good_a state_n and_o condition_n but_o when_o have_v break_v its_o fetter_n it_o endeavour_n to_o get_v loose_a and_o assay_n as_o it_o be_v a_o flight_n out_o of_o that_o prison_n that_o hold_v it_o in_o they_o call_v it_o madness_n and_o if_o this_o happen_v through_o any_o distemper_n or_o indisposition_n of_o the_o organ_n then_o by_o the_o common_a consent_n of_o every_o man_n it_o be_v downright_a madness_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v such_o kind_n of_o man_n foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v understand_v tongue_n and_o letter_n they_o never_o learn_v before_o and_o seem_v as_o it_o be_v big_a with_o a_o kind_n of_o divinity_n nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o mind_n be_v somewhat_o at_o liberty_n from_o the_o infection_n of_o the_o body_n begin_v to_o put_v forth_o itself_o in_o its_o native_a vigour_n and_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v from_o the_o same_o cause_n that_o the_o like_a often_o happen_v to_o sick_a man_n a_o little_a before_o their_o death_n that_o they_o discourse_n in_o strain_n above_o mortality_n as_o if_o they_o be_v inspire_v again_o if_o this_o happen_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o religion_n though_o perhaps_o it_o may_v not_o be_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o madness_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o near_o it_o that_o a_o great_a many_o man_n will_v judge_v it_o no_o better_o especial_o when_o a_o few_o inconsiderable_a people_n shall_v differ_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n and_o therefore_o it_o fare_v with_o they_o as_o according_a to_o the_o fiction_n of_o plato_n happen_v to_o those_o that_o be_v coop_v up_o in_o a_o cave_n stand_v gape_v with_o admiration_n at_o the_o shadow_n of_o thing_n &_o that_o fugitive_n who_o have_v break_v from_o they_o and_o return_v to_o they_o again_o tell_v they_o he_o have_v see_v thing_n true_o as_o they_o be_v and_o that_o they_o be_v the_o most_o mistake_v in_o believe_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o pitiful_a shadow_n for_o as_o this_o wise_a man_n pity_v and_o bewail_v their_o palpable_a madness_n that_o be_v possess_v with_o so_o gross_a a_o error_n so_o they_o in_o return_n laugh_v at_o he_o as_o a_o dote_a fool_n and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o their_o company_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n chief_o admire_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o corporeal_a and_o almost_o believe_v there_o be_v nothing_o beyond_o they_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a these_o devout_a person_n by_o how_o much_o the_o near_o any_o thing_n concern_v the_o body_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o they_o neglect_v it_o and_o be_v whole_o hurry_v away_o with_o the_o contemplation_n of_o thing_n invisible_a for_o the_o one_o give_v the_o first_o place_n to_o riches_n the_o next_o to_o their_o corporal_a pleasure_n leave_v the_o last_o place_n to_o their_o soul_n which_o yet_o most_o of_o they_o do_v scarce_o believe_v because_o they_o can_v see_v it_o with_o their_o eye_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o other_o first_o rely_v whole_o on_o god_n the_o most_o unchangeable_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o next_o he_o yet_o on_o this_o that_o come_v near_a he_o they_o bestow_v the_o second_o on_o their_o soul_n and_o last_o for_o their_o body_n they_o neglect_v that_o care_n and_o

against_o their_o will_n have_v as_o if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o possess_v as_o if_o they_o possess_v it_o not_o there_o be_v also_o in_o each_o several_a thing_n several_a degree_n wherein_o they_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o and_o first_o as_o to_o the_o sense_n though_o all_o of_o they_o have_v more_o or_o less_o affinity_n with_o the_o body_n yet_o of_o these_o some_o be_v more_o

the_o mind_n apply_v its_o self_n in_o that_o lie_v it_o force_n but_o holy_a man_n because_o the_o whole_a bent_n of_o their_o mind_n be_v take_v up_o with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o

of_o affection_n and_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o every_o man_n as_o the_o love_n of_o one_o country_n child_n parent_n friend_n and_o to_o which_o the_o common_a people_n attribute_v no_o small_a

have_v a_o noise_n of_o word_n and_o look_v upon_o the_o ceremony_n nor_o in_o this_o alone_a which_o we_o only_o propose_v by_o way_n of_o example_n but_o in_o all_o his_o life_n and_o without_o

for_o which_o cause_n there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o contrariety_n of_o opinion_n between_o they_o and_o that_o too_o in_o every_o thing_n that_o each_o party_n think_v the_o other_o out_o of_o their_o

brief_o show_v you_o that_o that_o great_a reward_n they_o so_o much_o fancy_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o madness_n and_o therefore_o suppose_v that_o plato_n dream_v of_o somewhat_o like_o it_o when_o he_o call_v the_o madness_n of_o lover_n the_o most_o happy_a condition_n of_o all_o other_o for_o he_o that_o be_v violent_o in_o love_n live_v not_o in_o his_o own_o body_n but_o in_o the_o thing_n he_o love_v and_o by_o how_o much_o the_o far_o he_o run_v from_o himself_o into_o another_o by_o so_o much_o the_o great_a be_v his_o pleasure_n and_o then_o when_o the_o mind_n strive_v to_o rove_v from_o its_o body_n and_o do_v not_o right_o use_v its_o own_o organ_n without_o doubt_n you_o may_v say_v it_o be_v downright_a madness_n and_o not_o be_v mistake_v or_o otherwise_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o common_a say_n non_fw-la est_fw-la apud_fw-la se_fw-la ad_fw-la te_fw-la redi_fw-la sibi_fw-la redditus_fw-la est_fw-la he_o do_v not_o dwell_v

what_o be_v that_o life_n hereafter_o after_o which_o these_o holy_a mind_n so_o pant_o breathe_v like_v to_o be_v to_o wit_n the_o spirit_n shall_v swallow_v up_o the_o body_n as_o conqueror_n and_o more_o durable_a and_o this_o it_o shall_v do_v with_o the_o great_a ease_n because_o heretofore_o in_o its_o life-time_n it_o have_v cleanse_v and_o thin_v it_o into_o such_o another_o nothing_o as_o

be_v to_o be_v out_o of_o himself_o nor_o to_o be_v otherwise_o happy_a in_o any_o respect_n but_o that_o be_v strip_v of_o himself_o he_o shall_v participate_v of_o somewhat_o ineffable_a from_o that_o chief_a good_a that_o draw_v all_o thing_n into_o its_o self_n and_o this_o happiness_n though_o it_o be_v only_o then_o perfect_v when_o soul_n be_v join_v to_o their_o former_a body_n shall_v be_v make_v immortal_a yet_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o life_n of_o holy_a man_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o continue_a meditation_n and_o as_o it_o be_v shadow_n of_o that_o life_n it_o so_o happen_v that_o
