philosophy_n that_o say_v they_o belong_v not_o to_o all_o christian_n but_o only_o to_o divine_n it_o be_v write_v indeed_o unto_o the_o colossian_n and_o geographer_n say_v that_o colossus_n be_v a_o city_n but_o colossae_n without_o doubt_n be_v a_o divinity_n school_n or_o at_o leastwise_o because_o it_o be_v write_v unto_o christian_n it_o be_v a_o advice_n not_o a_o precept_n of_o which_o sort_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v not_o prescribe_v to_o all_o but_o to_o complete_a christian_n as_o the_o expositor_n of_o aristotle_n moral_n do_v teach_v shall_v we_o leave_v off_o the_o old_a want_n of_o defend_v aristotle_n who_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o the_o university_n have_v so_o long_a time_n high_o esteem_v nay_o we_o will_v rather_o with_o the_o augustinian_n maintain_v all_o aristotle_n say_n even_o against_o the_o superstitious_a stoic_n according_a to_o a_o philosophical_a truth_n not_o according_a to_o a_o divine_a truth_n not_o by_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n but_o of_o reason_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o we_o be_v philosopher_n not_o as_o we_o be_v christian_n thus_o do_v these_o man_n in_o their_o cup_n brag_v and_o brave_a it_o out_o though_o not_o perhaps_o in_o these_o very_a same_o word_n yet_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n but_o i_o wo●ld_v advise_v these_o man_n to_o consider_v that_o since_o they_o will_v live_v like_o philosopher_n let_v they_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o die_v not_o pagan_n a_o certain_a plain_a country_n fellow_n see_v a_o noble_a man_n of_o germany_n cla●_n in_o armour_n in_o the_o morning_n like_o a_o general_n of_o the_o field_n and_o with_o his_o mitre_n like_o a_o prelate_n in_o the_o church_n at_o evening_n ask_v one_o of_o his_o servant_n why_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n do_v sometime_o wear_v a_o helmet_n &_o sometime_o a_o mitre_n he_o answer_v because_o he_o be_v both_o a_o prince_n and_o bishop_n of_o a_o city_n a_o prince_n and_o a_o bishop_n say_v the_o country_n man_n i_o pray_v you_o sir_n tell_v i_o if_o the_o prince_n go_v to_o hell_n whither_o shall_v the_o bishop_n go_v if_o i_o have_v so_o much_o authority_n as_o the_o countryman_n i_o will_v ask_v these_o philosopher_n and_o these_o centaur_n christian_n both_o man_n &_o monster_n these_o hermaphrodite_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n or_o rather_o neither_o who_o speak_v impious_o as_o philosopher_n in_o the_o school_n and_o holy_o in_o the_o church_n like_o christian_n what_o think_v you_o will_v become_v of_o the_o christian_a if_o the_o philosopher_n be_v thrust_v down_o to_o

that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v true_a through_o your_o misreport_v they_o may_v be_v account_v false_a i_o have_v at_o the_o last_o bid_v farewell_n to_o obscene_a poet_n such_o as_o for_o th●_n most_o part_n be_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o child_n i_o have_v fetch_v this_o out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n in_o his_o confession_n who_o aver_v terence_n express_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v read_v and_o blame_v such_o grammarian_n as_o expound_v he_o if_o this_o seem_v absurd_a to_o they_o why_o do_v they_o find_v fault_n with_o i_o let_v they_o find_v fault_n with_o s●int_n augustine_n but_o let_v no_o man_n so_o mistake_v my_o meaning_n as_o though_o i_o condemn_v the_o read_n of_o all_o poet_n as_o though_o i_o shall_v say_v because_o child_n must_v be_v feed_v

my_o demand_n be_v what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o christian_a when_o the_o philosopher_n be_v thrust_v down_o to_o hell_n my_o answer_n be_v this_o to_o butcher_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o

a_o university_n with_o the_o church_n or_o what_o have_v heretic_n to_o do_v with_o christian_n he_o call_v philosopher_n heretic_n he_o be_v never_o acquaint_v with_o this_o absurd_a distinction_n of_o a_o philosophical_a truth_n and_o a_o divine_a truth_n but_o he_o call_v philosopher_n heretic_n he_o complain_v that_o philosophy_n have_v be_v many_o sundry_a way_n distribute_v into_o heresy_n
