we_o up_o to_o this_o affection_n for_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n thereof_o our_o jealousy_n may_v be_v either_o a_o vice_n or_o a_o virtue_n for_o if_o the_o question_n be_v of_o some_o good_a

to_o be_v greeve_v and_o even_o to_o be_v jealous_a both_o over_o my_o own_o good_a and_o over_o the_o good_a of_o the_o party_n belove_v and_o as_o i_o have_v just_a cause_n of_o jealousy_n in_o this_o case_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o proper_o belong_v unto_o i_o so_o also_o i_o have_v like_o occasion_n when_o a_o other_o unjust_o enjoy_v that_o good_a which_o belong_v to_o he_o who_o i_o

that_o no_o other_o have_v the_o fruition_n hereof_o but_o themselves_o to_o take_v the_o matter_n heavy_o if_o it_o fall_v out_o otherwise_o and_o to_o be_v very_o much_o offend_v and_o full_a of_o

on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o man_n must_v beware_v that_o he_o be_v not_o too_o suspicious_a and_o that_o he_o carry_v not_o within_o himself_o matter_n of_o jealousy_n and_o so_o torment_v himself_o

will_v be_v a_o excellent_a virtue_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n whereas_o now_o it_o be_v the_o most_o ugly_a and_o monstrous_a vice_n that_o can_v be_v find_v in_o

to_o the_o end_n that_o know_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o of_o the_o stock_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v he_o shall_v love_v himself_o in_o god_n his_o creator_n and_o in_o he_o

feign_a kind_n of_o speech_n their_o meaning_n be_v rather_o to_o withdraw_v man_n from_o beastly_a affection_n unworthy_a their_o nature_n and_o thereby_o to_o paint_v out_o and_o to_o express_v the_o diversity_n of_o those_o affection_n and_o to_o set_v they_o as_o it_o be_v before_o their_o eye_n thereby_o to_o declare_v unto_o they_o how_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o unruly_a affection_n they_o resemble_v all_o other_o creature_n and_o chief_o brute_n beast_n wherefore_o we_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n call_v man_n a_o little_a world_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o albeit_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o stand_v not_o with_o his_o honour_n and_o credit_n for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o beast_n whatsoever_o nor_o yet_o of_o any_o other_o creature_n unto_o which_o he_o do_v not_o in_o some_o sort_n transform_v himself_o by_o his_o affection_n and_o by_o his_o manner_n and_o vice_n for_o when_o he_o please_v he_o transform_v himself_o one_o while_n

from_o the_o other_o and_o as_o he_o can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n so_o do_v he_o likewise_o turn_v himself_o into_o a_o devil_n monster_n it_o be_v not_o then_o altogether_o void_a of_o reason_n that_o plato_n say_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a nature_n yea_o he_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o monster_n who_o uppermost_a

part_n to_o a_o virgin_n because_o he_o place_v reason_n in_o the_o head_n as_o in_o the_o proper_a seat_n thereof_o and_o of_o the_o animal_n power_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o their_o nature_n and_o office_n sake_n next_o he_o say_v that_o the_o breast_n resemble_v a_o lion_n because_o he_o take_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o vital_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o also_o of_o the_o affection_n that_o often_o may_v well_o be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n and_o to_o furious_a beast_n last_o he_o compare_v the_o low_a part_n to_o dog_n because_o that_o part_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o natural_a and_o nourish_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o of_o the_o generative_a virtue_n as_o that_o which_o be_v very_o brutish_a and_o give_v to_o all_o carnal_a

have_v affection_n hold_v of_o their_o nature_n this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o often_o compare_v man_n to_o sundry_a sort_n of_o beast_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v transform_v into_o they_o and_o into_o hideous_a and_o horrible_a monster_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o ashamed_a of_o

of_o those_o his_o creature_n man_n i_o say_v then_o that_o although_o we_o have_v no_o other_o testimony_n in_o we_o of_o any_o god_n or_o of_o any_o divinity_n and_o divine_a nature_n and_o so_o consequent_o of_o his_o judgement_n in_o a_o second_o life_n yet_o this_o aught_o to_o suffice_v we_o that_o come_v from_o fear_n which_o be_v a_o natural_a perturbation_n in_o man_n as_o we_o have_v

persuade_v that_o nothing_o can_v hurt_v he_o be_v void_a of_o fear_n now_o there_o be_v no_o humane_a power_n or_o creature_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o be_v able_a to_o deliver_v man_n from_o all_o fear_n no_o not_o the_o great_a emperor_n king_n and_o prince_n themselves_o who_o be_v most_o fear_v and_o redoubt_a and_o who_o cause_n all_o man_n to_o tremble_v under_o they_o be_v as_o it_o

great_a fear_n than_o they_o do_v as_o they_o declare_v plain_o in_o that_o they_o must_v always_o have_v a_o great_a guard_n of_o man_n about_o they_o and_o yet_o can_v not_o ever_o avoid_v those_o danger_n which_o they_o fear_v for_o it_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v slay_v either_o by_o poison_n or_o sword_n or_o by_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o violent_a death_n and_o that_o by_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v keep_v they_o or_o who_o they_o trust_v most_o as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v by_o daily_a experience_n but_o albeit_o there_o be_v no_o other_o fear_n then_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n which_o be_v common_o great_a in_o the_o wicked_a and_o which_o they_o can_v not_o final_o avoid_v yet_o they_o can_v not_o but_o live_v always_o in_o fear_n and_o live_v so_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v will_v they_o will_v they_o that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o power_n great_a than_o their_o own_o which_o cause_v they_o to_o fear_v and_o before_o which_o they_o must_v one_o day_n appear_v for_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o why_o shall_v they_o fear_v now_o while_o we_o seek_v for_o this_o power_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n come_v to_o one_o sovereign_a power_n under_o which_o all_o other_o principality_n be_v range_v and_o which_o have_v no_o other_o above_o itself_o and_o be_v come_v thereunto_o we_o must_v withal_o conclude_v that_o this_o power_n can_v not_o

themselves_o this_o be_v so_o i_o think_v we_o may_v fight_v against_o the_o atheist_n with_o the_o same_o reason_n whereby_o they_o will_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v neither_o god_n nor_o divinity_n but_o only_o in_o the_o opinion_n and_o fantasy_n of_o man_n and_o that_o their_o fear_n unto_o which_o they_o be_v always_o subject_a have_v put_v this_o opinion_n of_o god_n into_o their_o head_n therefore_o they_o allege_v that_o which_o a_o heathen_a poet_n say_v agreeable_a to_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o epicure_n namely_o that_o fear_n be_v the_o first_o that_o make_v god_n in_o the_o world_n for_o man_n be_v possess_v therewith_o and_o not_o find_v such_o help_n amongst_o all_o the_o creature_n as_o can_v deliver_v they_o from_o all_o those_o danger_n which_o they_o fear_v they_o must_v seek_v for_o a_o other_o without_o the_o creature_n which_o can_v not_o but_o be_v a_o divine_a power_n if_o there_o be_v any_o at_o all_o as_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v whereunto_o if_o epicure_n and_o atheist_n will_v give_v no_o credit_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o they_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o terror_n and_o fear_n which_o be_v of_o such_o virtue_n and_o power_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o that_o no_o creature_n whatsoever_o be_v partaker_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n can_v go_v beyond_o it_o or_o be_v able_a to_o pluck_v it_o whole_o out_o of_o his_o heart_n and_o utter_o to_o extinguish_v it_o as_o every_o one_o feel_v by_o experience_n in_o himself_o and_o as_o these_o man_n of_o who_o we_o speak_v confess_v by_o their_o
