but_o rather_o much_o benefit_v by_o use_v and_o enjoy_v his_o piety_n so_o long_o and_o he_o add_v that_o a_o man_n be_v unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a who_o be_v not_o content_a that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o bestower_n of_o a_o benefit_n dispose_v of_o it_o according_a to_o his_o pleasure_n that_o he_o be_v too_o greedy_a who_o think_v it_o not_o gain_v that_o he_o once_o receive_v such_o a_o

that_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n who_o think_v that_o he_o have_v no_o fruit_n of_o good_a thing_n except_o when_o they_o be_v present_a and_o if_o a_o ethnic_n say_v so_o we_o who_o be_v christian_n aught_o much_o more_o to_o say_v and_o think_v so_o see_v we_o know_v that_o all_o good_a thing_n which_o do_v befall_v we_o as_o well_o bypass_a as_o present_v and_o to_o come_v do_v flow_v from_o one_o fountain_n even_o that_o fountain_n which_o be_v the_o source_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n that_o be_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god._n those_o who_o have_v fare_v well_o at_o a_o feast_n be_v

permanent_a and_o unchangeable_a cause_n of_o joy_n and_o therefore_o chrysostome_n mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o all_o man_n in_o their_o particular_a trade_n antioch_n and_o negotiation_n aim_v at_o solid_a and_o permanent_a joy_n those_o only_o attain_v to_o it_o who_o fear_n god_n because_o those_o only_o have_v gain_v the_o true_a root_n of_o pleasure_n and_o the_o source_n or_o fountain_n of_o joy_n this_o fountain_n he_o tell_v we_o be_v like_o the_o ocean_n from_o whence_o all_o water_n have_v their_o original_n and_o that_o because_o of_o the_o greatness_n thereof_o for_o
