themselves_o from_o these_o untemperate_a disorder_n of_o a_o treath_n there_o be_v many_o yea_o very_o many_o that_o bitter_o complain_v of_o poverty_n who_o if_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v divide_v into_o equal_a part_n will_v not_o have_v so_o much_o unto_o their_o share_n as_o they_o now_o possess_v i_o very_o believe_v that_o if_o all_o the_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v place_v on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n on_o the_o other_o and_o that_o his_o part_n be_v equal_o divide_v unto_o every_o one_o as_o it_o be_v say_v lycurgus_n do_v in_o sparta_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o that_o now_o cry_v out_o of_o poverty_n shall_v apparent_o see_v that_o they_o be_v over_o rich_a and_o have_v more_o than_o their_o part_n among_o which_o number_n i_o think_v myself_o shall_v be_v one_o which_o now_o account_v myself_o to_o be_v poor_a and_o so_o peradventure_o will_v you_o also_o so_o that_o if_o you_o respect_v this_o honest_a and_o measure_a end_n it_o may_v be_v that_o this_o your_o poverty_n will_v not_o make_v you_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o poor_a as_o you_o esteem_v yourself_o to_o be_v nor_o bring_v you_o so_o great_a affliction_n find_v it_o far_o less_o than_o you_o deem_v it_o to_o be_v but_o you_o will_v say_v peradventure_o and_o i_o deny_v it_o not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o rich_a which_o feel_v pleasure_n contentment_n and_o honour_n by_o they_o whereas_o i_o by_o my_o poverty_n receive_v sorrow_n displeasure_n and_o shame_n what_o complaint_n be_v those_o shall_v thou_o despair_v for_o not_o have_v that_o which_o other_o man_n enjoy_v wherefore_o then_o do_v these_o rich_a man_n which_o bring_v you_o in_o this_o estate_n despair_n see_v other_o above_o they_o to_o be_v duke_n prince_n king_n and_o emperor_n why_o do_v not_o many_o that_o delight_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v hang_v themselves_o for_o not_o be_v able_a to_o drink_v so_o much_o as_o trigungius_n do_v with_o the_o roman_n or_o because_o they_o can_v devour_v a_o whole_a table_n of_o meat_n as_o catellactus_n have_v do_v in_o our_o time_n and_o to_o bring_v a_o more_o true_a and_o lively_a example_n why_o be_v not_o all_o man_n afflict_v and_o as_o it_o be_v bring_v into_o despair_n because_o they_o have_v not_o y_z e_z strength_n and_o force_n of_o a_o lion_n the_o sight_n of_o a_o eagle_n the_o swiftness_n of_o a_o tiger_n the_o scent_n of_o a_o dog_n the_o length_n of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o end_n the_o flye_v of_o bird_n it_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o look_v to_o that_o which_o other_o have_v but_o to_o that_o which_o be_v convenient_a for_o our_o estate_n and_o calling_n and_o herein_o according_a to_o every_o man_n degree_n to_o repose_v our_o chief_a

that_o it_o be_v more_o convenient_a to_o maken_v a_o geometrical_a not_o according_a to_o the_o number_n but_o the_o desert_n it_o be_v well_o say_v but_o who_o shall_v judge_v of_o this_o desert_n this_o doubtless_o be_v the_o head_n fountain_n and_o original_n of_o all_o error_n every_o one_o do_v deem_v and_o judge_v better_o of_o himself_o then_o there_o be_v cause_n why_o selfelove_n do_v

but_o there_o be_v very_o few_o of_o the_o other_o sort_n that_o think_v they_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o they_o have_v deserve_v whereof_o grievous_a perturbation_n and_o continual_a
