of_o they_o neither_o yet_o can_v such_o thing_n be_v commend_v since_o that_o praise_n do_v agree_v with_o virtue_n and_o dispraise_n with_o vice_n there_o be_v some_o find_v of_o so_o abject_a and_o

which_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o they_o will_v be_v compel_v to_o pay_v any_o sum_n of_o money_n 47_o and_o it_o appear_v evident_o enough_o why_o aristotle_n say_v that_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v burn_v or_o be_v cut_v in_o sunder_o there_o if_o they_o yield_v either_o in_o disclose_v of_o secret_n or_o in_o suffer_v of_o any_o vile_a thing_n they_o be_v pardon_v and_o some_o think_v that_o in_o those_o case_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o make_v a_o lie_n aristotle_n add_v that_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v certain_a thing_n constrain_v certain_a thing_n whereto_o a_o man_n must_v not_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v constrain_v whereunto_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v compel_v he_o ought_v rather_o to_o abide_v any_o thing_n &_o when_o he_o yield_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v pardon_v nor_o excuse_v wherefore_o our_o martyr_n be_v in_o the_o right_a opinion_n who_o have_v determine_v rather_o to_o endure_v any_o thing_n than_o to_o

pardon_v for_o who_o will_v forgive_v he_o which_o condemn_v a_o innocent_a which_o commit_v adultery_n which_o betray_v his_o country_n which_o for_o the_o sharpness_n of_o torment_n deni_v

of_o gréevous_a and_o cruel_a thing_n for_o a_o honest_a cause_n the_o first_o belong_v to_o the_o faculty_n of_o judge_v because_o we_o be_v oftentimes_o ignorant_a what_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v
