here_o petrarch_n show_v that_o have_v in_o his_o day_n see_v many_o fair_a woman_n as_o it_o be_v likely_a he_o never_o be_v enamour_v but_o rather_o have_v a_o heart_n make_v of_o adamant_n till_o

some_o thing_n different_a from_o another_o in_o complexion_n from_o whence_o spring_v diverse_a inclination_n and_o appetite_n in_o that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o sensible_a faculty_n have_v always_o his_o operation_n join_v with_o the_o body_n follow_v the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n as_o the_o poet_n say_v if_o every_o one_o be_v transport_v by_o his_o particular_a delight_n and_o that_o the_o beauty_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o ravish_v the_o mind_n of_o one_o scarce_o touch_v another_o this_o love_n which_o be_v no_o

man_n though_o affection_n fodaine_o move_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o ready_o transform_v into_o desire_n or_o quick_o mooned_z to_o action_n in_o that_o this_o can_v be_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o reason_n the_o which_o as_o a_o mistress_n oftentimes_o permit_v not_o affection_n to_o break_v forth_o into_o desire_n or_o so_o incontinent_o to_o proceed_v to_o action_n if_o therefore_o love_n be_v willing_a to_o resolve_v into_o desire_n of_o necessity_n reason_n must_v thereunto_o consent_v it_o be_v she_o that_o perfect_o know_v the_o hope_n which_o be_v the_o true_a foundation_n

the_o light_n of_o reason_n affection_n be_v not_o convert_v into_o amorous_a desire_n but_o rather_o into_o special_a reverence_n by_o this_o true_a conclusion_n we_o may_v conjecture_v how_o vain_o

change_v himself_o into_o desire_n of_o answerable_a affection_n these_o amorous_a and_o valiant_a gentleman_n will_v serve_v i_o with_o most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a testimony_n who_o stir_v up_o by_o such_o a_o desire_n to_o make_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o the_o reciprocal_a love_n of_o their_o affect_a mistress_n covet_v ever_o to_o perform_v gentle_a and_o liberal_a action_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o noble_a lover_n the_o principall_a desire_n be_v to_o be_v belove_v

help_v not_o at_o all_o and_o that_o mediocrity_n be_v a_o apt_a instrument_n unto_o virtue_n and_o a_o happy_a life_n these_o reason_n be_v so_o well_o ground_v say_v turcha_n as_o that_o in_o they_o
