question_n on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o saint_n say_v yea_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n alsoe_o say_v that_o humility_n be_v very_o necessary_a for_o we_o and_o with_o all_o that_o magnanimity_n be_v alsoe_o necessary_a especial_o for_o such_o as_o exercise_v high_a ministery_n and_o live_v in_o high_a place_n now_o these_o two_o virtue_n seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a in_o themselves_o because_o magnanimity_n be_v a_o greatness_n of_o mind_n to_o attempt_v and_o enterprise_v great_a and_o excellent_a thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o may_v be_v worthy_a of_o honour_n and_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o humility_n for_o as_o for_o the_o first_o which_o be_v to_o enterprise_v greaâ—e_a thing_n this_o seem_v not_o to_o suit_v well_o

to_o be_v presumption_n and_o pride_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o enterprise_n thing_n of_o honour_n it_o seem_v alsoe_o to_o be_v contrary_a because_o the_o true_a humble_a man_n must_v be_v very_o far_o from_o desire_v honour_n &_o estimation_n to_o this_o saint_n thomas_n answer_v very_o well_o and_o say_v that_o although_o in_o appearance_n and_o by_o the_o exterior_a sound_n of_o the_o word_n these_o two_o virtue_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a between_o themselves_o yet_o in_o effect_n and_o truth_n one_o virtue_n can_v be_v contrary_a to_o another_o &_o in_o particular_a he_o say_v concern_v these_o two_o virtue_n of_o humility_n and_o magnanimity_n that_o if_o we_o will_v attentive_o cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o truth_n and_o

he_o declare_v very_o well_o because_o as_o for_o the_o first_o which_o be_v to_o enterprise_n and_o attempt_v great_a thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o magnanimous_a person_n it_o be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o humble_a man_n but_o rather_o be_v very_o proper_a to_o he_o and_o he_o who_o be_v the_o one_o may_v well_o do_v the_o other_o if_o confide_v in_o our_o own_o diligence_n
