well_o rig_v and_o furnish_v with_o all_o necessary_n have_v wind_n at_o will_n and_o sea_n favourable_a therefore_o we_o will_v here_o conclude_v this_o point_n thus_o see_v that_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n do_v lie_v in_o procure_v of_o his_o good_a and_o that_o his_o good_a be_v to_o li●e_z according_a unto_o nature_n and_o to_o live_v according_a unto_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_v with_o any_o passion_n or_o perturbation_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o so_o to_o behave_v himself_o happen_v what_o happen_v may_v as_o that_o he_o do_v not_o exceed_v patience_n or_o pass_v the_o bound_n of_o reason_n that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v true_o happy_a we_o must_v purge_v our_o mind_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o passion_n &_o learn_v how_o to_o be_v affect_v in_o mind_n towards_o all_o thing_n which_o shall_v happen_v now_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o can_v so_o soon_o set_v we_o in_o this_o way_n and_o learn_v we_o how_o to_o obtain_v the_o right_a course_n of_o order_v our_o affection_n mind_n and_o will_v according_a unto_o reason_n as_o wisdom_n which_o be_v in_o my_o simple_a opinion_n both_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o all_o virtue_n for_o cause_v we_o to_o have_v a_o exact_a and_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o condition_n and_o quality_n of_o thing_n which_o come_v into_o our_o consideration_n &_o view_v she_o teach_v and_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v according_a unto_o nature_n and_o what_o not_o and_o like_o wise_a what_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v and_o follow_v or_o shun_v and_o avoid_v she_o remove_v all_o false_a opinion_n out_o of_o our_o head_n which_o trouble_v our_o brain_n make_v our_o affection_n kind_a and_o natural_a and_o final_o upon_o she_o wait_v all_o other_o virtue_n as_o be_v their_o mother_n nurse_n and_o keeper_n o_o how_o happy_a will_v man_n life_n be_v if_o it_o be_v always_o lead_v and_o guide_v by_o her_o direction_n but_o alas_o as_o this_o virtue_n be_v most_o fair_a and_o excellent_a so_o she_o be_v most_o rare_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v find_v for_o she_o be_v so_o hide_a in_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o mind_n as_o the_o vein_n of_o gold_n lie_v secret_a in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v find_v but_o in_o few_o place_n this_o be_v as_o i_o bele●ue_v that_o great_a stately_a and_o impenetrable_a buckler_n which_o vulcan_n forge_v for_o achilles_n wherein_o be_v engrave_v heaven_n &_o earth_n the_o sea_n cloud_n star_n lightning_n city_n weapon_n assembly_n of_o people_n and_o combat_n and_o in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v not_o there_o to_o be_v see_v signify_v unto_o we_o by_o that_o device_n that_o wisdom_n &_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n do_v better_a preserve_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n from_o danger_n than_o the_o buckler_n or_o helmet_n do_v keep_v the_o body_n from_o wound_n but_o as_o achilles_n go_v to_o school_v unto_o chiron_n to_o learn_v the_o use_n of_o that_o buckler_n so_o we_o must_v go_v to_o school_v to_o philosophy_n to_o know_v the_o right_a use_n of_o wisedoome_v and_o if_o we_o will_v hearken_v unto_o she_o she_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o wisdom_n have_v two_o property_n and_o use_n the_o one_o to_o prick_v we_o forward_o to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a the_o other_o to_o pull_v we_o back_o from_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a now_o because_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o philosophy_n we_o do_v not_o bring_v with_o we_o a_o mind_n pure_a and_o neat_a but_o already_o distemper_v evil_o dispose_v and_o possess_v with_o filthy_a humour_n and_o such_o as_o be_v incident_a unto_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n because_o i_o say_v we_o come_v unto_o she_o as_o unto_o a_o skilful_a leech_n or_o cunning_a physician_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v cure_v we_o must_v do_v as_o surgeon_n do_v which_o have_v to_o do_v with_o sore_n and_o wound_n who_o before_o they_o apply_v any_o medicine_n or_o salve_n to_o cure_v they_o do_v first_o draw_v out_o all_o the_o bad_a humour_n and_o dead_a flesh_n and_o so_o must_v we_o also_o in_o like_a manner_n begin_v first_o of_o all_o to_o purge_v our_o mind_n of_o all_o such_o passion_n as_o do_v arise_v in_o they_o and_o with_o the_o smoke_n of_o they_o darken_v and_o obscure_v the_o eye_n of_o reason_n for_o otherwise_o precept_n of_o manner_n and_o wholesome_a instruction_n will_v profit_v our_o soul_n as_o little_a as_o plenty_n of_o meat_n do_v a_o corrupt_a body_n which_o the_o more_o you_o feed_v the_o more_o you_o offend_v now_o to_o know_v what_o these_o passion_n be_v you_o must_v understande_v that_o we_o do_v term_v they_o a_o viol●nt_n or_o vehement_a motion_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o sensitive_a part_n which_o be_v cause_v in_o the_o follow_a or_o eschue_v of_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n for_o albeit_o there_o be_v but_o one_o soul_n in_o every_o one_o of_o we_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o life_n &_o fountain_n of_o all_o our_o action_n and_o be_v all_o in_o all_o and_o all_o in_o ●uery_n part_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o faculty_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v how_o diverse_a yea_o how_o contrary_a they_o be_v many_o time_n

reason_n and_o discourse_n even_o as_o the_o sun_n which_o though_o he_o be_v all_o in_o his_o own_o essence_n yet_o divide_v and_o part_v his_o beam_n in_o diverse_a place_n he_o bring_v heat_n to_o

have_v clean_o contrary_a operation_n &_o such_o as_o will_v prove_v very_o hurtful_a and_o prejudicial_a unto_o the_o soul_n and_o right_o so_o for_o all_o the_o world_n fare_v it_o with_o the_o
