which_o may_v manifest_o appear_v unto_o you_o see_v a_o man_n bring_v nobility_n from_o his_o mother_n womb_n but_o so_o can_v he_o not_o bring_v with_o he_o either_o the_o empire_n or_o popedom_n

be_v clear_a by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v before_o speak_v for_o man_n produce_v from_o god_n can_v be_v but_o like_a to_o his_o beginning_n &_o conceive_v by_o his_o proper_a nature_n that_o

manifest_a by_o this_o for_o any_o man_n how_o wicked_a soever_o never_o do_v evil_a in_o favour_n of_o vice_n but_o of_o contentment_n the_o thief_n therefore_o steal_v not_o to_o be_v a_o thief_n

lust_n and_o venerous_a contentment_n the_o which_o contentment_n if_o he_o can_v attain_v unto_o without_o vice_n it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o acceptable_a and_o please_a unto_o he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v take_v contentment_n in_o vice_n and_o not_o in_o virtue_n true_a man_n shall_v not_o taste_v in_o himself_o the_o incredible_a contentation_n of_o virtuous_a action_n which_o questionless_a be_v such_o as_o make_v he_o bless_v and_o happy_a neither_o shall_v the_o miserable_a man_n be_v so_o afflict_v by_o his_o own_o conscience_n the_o which_o without_o any_o other_o help_n bring_v unto_o he_o most_o grievous_a punishment_n man_n therefore_o run_v into_o vice_n accidental_o that_o be_v by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o the_o vice_n be_v conjoin_v with_o excess_n of_o pleasure_n or_o grief_n that_o vice_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o man_n it_o may_v be_v this_o reason_n be_v prove_v because_o before_o the_o vice_n of_o intemperance_n

and_o except_o reason_n be_v make_v drink_v and_o subdue_v by_o sense_n man_n fall_v not_o into_o vice_n this_o battle_n out_o of_o question_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n if_o a_o man_n be_v natural_o

continence_n which_o precee_v temperance_n the_o contrary_n may_v be_v conclude_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o there_o be_v special_a difference_n because_o the_o incontinent_a after_o vicious_a

herself_o to_o the_o centre_n whether_o she_o incline_v but_o moreover_o man_n more_o than_o of_o any_o other_o outward_a good_a be_v desirous_a of_o honour_n praise_n &_o glory_n he_o shun_v and_o abhor_v more_o than_o any_o other_o evil_a dishonour_n and_o infamy_n acquire_v therefore_o unto_o himself_o honour_n and_o praise_n by_o mean_a of_o virtue_n but_o infamy_n and_o dishonour_n by_o mean_a of_o vice_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o man_n natural_o shall_v bend_v to_o virtue_n and_o contemn_v vice_n for_o it_o will_v be_v inconvenient_a to_o love_v the_o effect_n and_o hate_v the_o

reduce_v all_o his_o affection_n to_o mediocrity_n and_o be_v conversant_a either_o about_o pleasure_n or_o grief_n and_o vice_n be_v a_o habit_n imprint_v in_o sense_n by_o perveise_n reason_n by_o who_o mean_n decline_v from_o right_n and_o direct_a reason_n it_o easy_o burst_v forth_o into_o height_n &_o excess_n of_o pleasure_n and_o grief_n although_o man_n as_o i_o have_v show_v be_v natural_o incline_v to_o virtue_n yet_o be_v he_o neither_o virtuous_a nor_o vicious_a by_o nature_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o acquire_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o habit_n by_o custom_n that_o be_v with_o frequent_a and_o like_o reiterated_a action_n furthermore_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o man_n be_v neither_o capable_a of_o vice_n nor_o virtue_n before_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a

so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v with_o the_o poet_n from_o whence_o it_o sure_o proceed_v that_o nature_n quite_o do_v swerve_v from_o proper_a course_n the_o law_n of_o custom_n to_o obsarue_v
