of_o athens_n no_o vycious_a man_n can_v enter_v nor_o idle_a word_n be_v speak_v neither_o they_o do_v consent_v that_o any_o ignorant_a philosopher_n shall_v come_v in_o to_o read_v there_o as_o

to_o much_o her_o will_n and_o want_v shame_n secondary_o they_o ask_v he_o why_o young_a man_n be_v undo_v he_o answer_v because_o time_n abound_v they_o for_o to_o do_v evil_a and_o master_n want_v to_o enforce_v they_o to_o do_v good_a three_o they_o ask_v he_o why_o be_v wise_a man_n deceyve_v aswell_o as_o the_o simple_a he_o answer_v the_o wise_a man_n be_v never_o deceyve_v but_o by_o he_o that_o use_v fair_a word_n and_o have_v evil_a condition_n forthly_a they_o ask_v he_o of_o who_o man_n ought_v most_o to_o beware_v he_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v to_o a_o man_n no_o great_a

eight_o they_o ask_v he_o why_o so_o many_o vice_n be_v nourish_v in_o the_o palace_n of_o prince_n he_o answer_v because_o pleasure_n abound_v and_o council_n want_v the_o nine_o they_o ask_v he_o why_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n live_v without_o rest_n &_o few_o without_o pain_n he_o answer_v no_o man_n be_v more_o without_o &_o suffer_v more_o pain_n they_o he_o which_o die_v for_o the_o

that_o there_o be_v master_n to_o teach_v the_o youthful_a we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o if_o the_o brute_n beast_n be_v not_o tie_v &_o the_o corn_n &_o seed_n compass_v with_o hedge_n or_o
