the_o world_n in_o the_o middle_a of_o the_o broil_n thereof_o but_o so_o as_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a heart_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o adversity_n this_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v attain_v to_o this_o goal_n or_o mark_n to_o have_v a_o quiet_a heart_n in_o the_o middle_a of_o all_o trouble_n enure_v thyself_o with_o trouble_n &_o that_o from_o thy_o childhood_n for_o so_o shall_v thou_o safe_o stand_v all_o storm_n and_o danger_n let_v thy_o heart_n be_v glad_a up_o that_o be_v take_v prosperity_n meary_o when_o it_o come_v and_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o adversity_n when_o god_n send_v it_o thus_o shall_v youth_n be_v bring_v up_o and_o instruct_v and_o unless_o youth_n follow_v such_o a_o admonisher_n he_o shall_v never_o do_v like_o a_o man_n for_o youth_n be_v lead_v altogether_o with_o affection_n &_o be_v unskilful_a which_o unskilfulness_n be_v cause_n that_o it_o can_v not_o bear_v nor_o yield_v hereafter_o to_o the_o naughtiness_n and_o ingratefulnes_n of_o the_o world_n solomon_n therefore_o be_v a_o excellent_a instructor_n of_o youth_n he_o forbid_v not_o joy_n and_o pleasantness_n as_o the_o foolish_a master_n the_o monk_n have_v do_v for_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o of_o young_a man_n to_o make_v block_n and_o as_o anselme_n the_o very_a monk_n of_o all_o other_o say_v to_o set_v a_o great_a tree_n in_o a_o little_a pot_n thus_o these_o monk_n shut_v up_o their_o youth_n in_o a_o coupe_z and_o forbid_v they_o the_o sight_n and_o communication_n of_o man_n because_o they_o shall_v learn_v nor_o perceive_v nothing_o where_o as_o nothing_o be_v more_o dangerous_a for_o youth_n than_o solitariness_n the_o mind_n must_v be_v well_o inform_v with_o good_a understanding_n and_o opinion_n instruct_v that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v with_o the_o company_n and_o familiarity_n of_o naughty_a man_n but_o the_o body_n must_v be_v conversant_a in_o every_o thing_n we_o must_v behold_v the_o world_n and_o hear_v it_o only_o see_v that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a master_n and_o teacher_n therefore_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o youth_n be_v not_o in_o sorrow_n and_o solitariness_n for_o mirth_n be_v as_o necessary_a for_o youth_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_v for_o the_o body_n do_v battle_n through_o mirth_n of_o mind_n and_o we_o must_v not_o begin_v with_o the_o education_n of_o the_o body_n but_o with_o the_o mind_n that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v when_o the_o mind_n be_v well_o teach_v and_o enfourm_v there_o the_o body_n be_v soon_o well_o govern_v we_o must_v therefore_o bear_v with_o youth_n to_o be_v merry_a and_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o gladsomeness_n of_o heart_n only_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o they_o be_v not_o

rather_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o same_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o heart_n lord._n this_o place_n cause_v i_o to_o think_v that_o all_o this_o chapter_n from_o the_o beginning_n be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o derision_n and_o scorn_n because_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v after_o the_o way_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n it_o be_v common_o take_v in_o evil_a part_n but_o we_o must_v stick_v to_o the_o argument_n and_o consequence_n of_o the_o text_n this_o it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o say_v when_o thine_o heart_n be_v well_o teach_v and_o instruct_v no_o joy_n or_o mirth_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o hurt_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a joy_n and_o no_o such_o naughty_a and_o woeful_a mirth_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o before_o and_o walk_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o thine_o eye_n that_o be_v to_o say_v enjoy_v that_o that_o come_v to_o thy_o sight_n vex_v not_o thyself_o about_o thing_n to_o come_v lest_o thou_o do_v as_o the_o monk_n do_v of_o who_o there_o be_v some_o namely_o syluanus_n the_o monk_n which_o teach_v man_n they_o shall_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n they_o will_v bereave_v youth_n of_o their_o sight_n of_o hear_v of_o taulk_a &_o all_o their_o sense_n and_o shut_v

thou_o follow_v not_o the_o perverse_a pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n which_o will_v corrupt_v thy_o mind_n thus_o far_o for_o one_o part_n put_v away_o grief_n out_o of_o thy_o heart_n and_o cause_v
