felicity_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v infinite_a whereupon_o man_n not_o be_v able_a ever_o to_o attain_v unto_o it_o full_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n create_v he_o only_o shall_v fail_v of_o his_o proper_a end_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o as_o without_o riches_n there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a felicity_n so_o the_o excess_n of_o riches_n either_o hurt_v or_o help_v not_o at_o all_o and_o that_o mediocrity_n be_v a_o apt_a instrument_n unto_o virtue_n and_o a_o happy_a life_n these_o reason_n be_v so_o well_o ground_v say_v turcha_n as_o that_o in_o they_o i_o remain_v full_o satisfy_v out_o of_o doubt_n add_v gualinguo_fw-la whosoever_o can_v practice_v vortue_n with_o moderate_a riches_n will_v much_o less_o practice_v it_o with_o excess_n see_v superaboundance_n of_o riches_n be_v far_o more_o proportionable_a to_o vice_n than_o virtue_n and_o ordinary_o in_o they_o most_o rich_a those_o evil_a disposition_n be_v discover_v which_o by_o the_o philosopher_n be_v rip_v uppe_o in_o his_o rhetoric_n see_v in_o that_o place_n he_o understand_v it_o by_o they_o superaboundant_o rich_a and_o not_o by_o the_o other_o rich_a with_o mediocrity_n consider_v that_o in_o they_o insolence_n pride_n intemperance_n &_o many_o other_o vice_n abound_v whereof_o immeasurable_a riches_n be_v the_o proper_a nourishment_n i_o believe_v say_v count_n hercules_n bevelacqua_n that_o so_o it_o be_v but_o yet_o further_o i_o desire_v to_o understand_v whether_o he_o be_v rich_a that_o possess_v or_o he_o that_o use_v they_o for_o of_o this_o i_o be_o doubtful_a in_o that_o i_o see_v diverse_a who_o notwithstanding_o they_o make_v thereof_o no_o use_n yet_o be_v they_o esteem_v most_o rich_a vain_a be_v possession_n without_o use_n answer_v tassone_n as_o the_o divine_a philosopher_n affirm_v in_o eutimedo_n therefore_o to_o be_v rich_a consist_v not_o only_o in_o possession_n but_o also_o in_o use_v riches_n &_o he_o that_o

i_o be_o of_o opinion_n say_v count_n hercules_n that_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v much_o more_o miserable_a than_o the_o poor_a for_o the_o poor_a desire_n riches_n to_o supply_v their_o want_n and_o these_o man_n hunt_v after_o they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o in_o abundance_n they_o may_v yet_o live_v in_o want_n neither_o can_v i_o imagine_v the_o cause_n and_o reason_n of_o so_o great_a folly_n avarice_n say_v tassone_n spring_v from_o a_o firm_a hope_n of_o long_a life_n and_o never_o think_v to_o die_v for_o who_o be_v so_o foolish_a that_o will_v spare_v to_o day_n if_o he_o believe_v to_o die_v to_o morrow_n but_o a_o man_n promise_v unto_o himself_o long_a life_n as_o if_o he_o be_v to_o live_v ever_o store_v up_o riches_n &_o money_n infinite_o hope_v that_o one_o

a_o particular_a vice_n to_o old_a man_n who_o hourly_o expect_v death_n old_a man_n say_v tassone_n do_v not_o expect_v but_o fear_v death_n as_o they_o that_o be_v much_o more_o desirous_a of_o
