from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n thus_o much_o touch_v the_o order_n of_o writing_n history_n what_o order_n and_o method_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o read_v history_n who_o so_o be_v

of_o peace_n and_o war_n three_o that_o we_o may_v be_v stir_v by_o example_n of_o the_o good_a to_o follow_v the_o good_a and_o by_o example_n of_o the_o evil_a to_o flee_v the_o evil_n as_o touch_v

in_o prosperity_n â–ª_o and_o the_o good_a in_o adversity_n yet_o we_o may_v see_v by_o many_o notable_a example_n declare_v aswell_o his_o wrath_n and_o revenge_n towards_o the_o wicked_a as_o also_o his_o pity_n and_o clemency_n towards_o the_o good_a that_o nothing_o be_v do_v by_o chance_n but_o all_o thing_n by_o his_o foresight_n counsel_n and_o divine_a providence_n humane_a wisdom_n have_v three_o principal_a part_n the_o first_o whereof_o teach_v we_o right_o to_o judge_v of_o all_o thing_n what_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v flee_v the_o second_o how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v best_o attain_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o desire_v the_o third_o teach_v we_o to_o take_v occasion_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v and_o to_o foresee_v all_o peril_n that_o may_v hap_v and_o the_o first_o part_n require_v two_o consideration_n first_o to_o know_v by_o the_o example_n of_o other_o whither_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o desire_v and_o seem_v to_o we_o good_a be_v good_a in_o deed_n or_o not_o and_o second_o what_o the_o obtain_n thereof_o will_v cost_v for_o many_o time_n those_o thing_n which_o seem_v good_a have_v be_v cause_n of_o great_a evil_a as_o riches_n â–ª_o honour_v and_o greatness_n which_o evil_o proceed_v either_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o or_o by_o evil_a use_v the_o same_o as_o for_o example_n by_o their_o own_o nature_n honour_n and_o greatness_n cause_v envy_n and_o riches_n sometime_o cause_v both_o envy_n murder_n and_o robbery_n again_o riches_n by_o evil_a use_v they_o do_v cause_n the_o owner_n many_o time_n to_o be_v disdainful_a proud_a arrogant_a &_o to_o lead_v a_o dissolute_a life_n hate_v all_o virtuous_a exercise_n contrariwise_o those_o thing_n that_o seem_v evil_a be_v many_o time_n cause_n of_o great_a good_a partly_o by_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o partly_o for_o be_v well_o employ_v and_o turn_v to_o good_a use_n as_o poverty_n of_o her_o own_o nature_n make_v

to_o his_o great_a gain_n and_o commodity_n the_o other_o consideration_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o consider_v how_o much_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o desire_v will_v cost_v for_o the_o cost_n may_v be_v such_o as_o we_o be_v better_a to_o be_v without_o our_o desire_n than_o to_o have_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o value_v this_o cost_n

what_o commodity_n we_o may_v enjoy_v in_o be_v without_o it_o again_o to_o way_n the_o certainty_n of_o the_o evil_n whereon_o we_o venture_v and_o the_o incertainty_n of_o obtain_v the_o good_a which_o we_o seek_v which_o be_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o many_o which_o have_v long_o seek_v dear_o buy_v and_o yet_o obtain_v naught_o moreover_o it_o shall_v be_v needful_a to_o compare_v the_o long_a time_n of_o our_o travail_n and_o great_a charge_n with_o the_o short_a time_n of_o enjoy_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o obtain_v it_o import_v also_o not_o a_o little_a to_o remember_v that_o many_o time_n thing_n do_v seem_v unto_o we_o more_o precious_a and_o more_o goodly_a why_o least_o we_o seek_v they_o than_o when_o we_o have_v get_v they_o and_o in_o seek_v they_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n we_o have_v to_o note_v what_o revenge_n god_n be_v wont_a to_o take_v of_o such_o do_n and_o how_o short_a a_o time_n &_o with_o what_o trouble_n he_o
