it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o any_o of_o they_o that_o devout_a and_o good_a father_n speak_v of_o a_o good_a conscience_n ber._n ber._n say_v that_o it_o be_v maximum_fw-la in_o minimus_fw-la the_o

for_o they_o find_v minimum_fw-la in_o maximo_fw-la a_o little_a gold_n or_o silver_n in_o a_o great_a lump_n and_o mass_n of_o lead_n or_o other_o meet_v tall_a but_o in_o the_o hart_n of_o a_o good_a man_n that_o be_v so_o little_a it_o will_v not_o give_v a_o kite_n his_o breakfast_n be_v maximum_fw-la in_o minimus_fw-la the_o great_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v in_o the_o least_o room_n that_o can_v be_v that_o be_v a_o good_a conscience_n goodness_n itself_o that_o delight_v both_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o no_o marvel_n see_v goodness_n so_o great_a if_o it_o hardly_o get_v into_o so_o narrow_a a_o room_n as_o man_n heart_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o this_o goodness_n be_v we_o may_v say_v of_o goodness_n as_o the_o learned_a say_v of_o god_n that_o he_o only_o can_v be_v know_v per_fw-la viam_fw-la remotionis_fw-la namely_o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o heaven_n nor_o the_o earth_n nor_o the_o angel_n nor_o the_o spirit_n nor_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o see_v so_o goodness_n it_o be_v not_o majesty_n and_o power_n it_o be_v not_o riches_n and_o pleasure_n it_o be_v not_o birth_n or_o beauty_n it_o be_v not_o prudence_n &_o knowledge_n nor_o be_v it_o any_o thing_n whereof_o we_o have_v most_o plenty_n though_o it_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o these_o greatness_n but_o we_o may_v say_v of_o it_o true_o 20_o gen._n 19_o 20_o as_o lot_n say_v of_o zoar_n be_v it_o it_o not_o a_o little_a one_o and_o my_o soul_n shall_v live_v i_o will_v then_o adventure_v to_o say_v that_o goodness_n be_v a_o virtue_n whereby_o we_o communicate_v to_o other_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o we_o or_o belong_v unto_o we_o for_o their_o good_a this_o definition_n i_o grant_v be_v too_o narrow_a for_o goodness_n for_o it_o deserve_v a_o large_a room_n than_o definition_n afford_v yet_o if_o i_o shall_v enlarge_v it_o never_o so_o much_o i_o shall_v scarce_o get_v any_o one_o within_o the_o ring_n of_o it_o now_o this_o goodness_n do_v either_o respect_n the_o body_n or_o the_o mind_n goodness_n concern_v the_o mind_n or_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v to_o labour_n partly_o by_o counsel_n partly_o by_o example_n of_o life_n to_o gain_v the_o soul_n of_o our_o brother_n to_o god_n and_o to_o this_o goodness_n be_v these_o action_n require_v 1._o to_o admonish_v the_o unruly_a 2._o to_o comfort_v the_o distress_a 3._o to_o bear_v with_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a 4._o to_o be_v patient_a towards_o all_o man_n of_o these_o four_o saint_n paul_n have_v give_v we_o these_o precept_n 5._o 14_o 1._o thes_n 5_o 14_o to_o chastise_v the_o obstinate_a 6._o to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n of_o what_o condition_n soever_o according_a to_o that_o old_a verse_n consul_n castiga_fw-la solare_fw-la remit_v fer_fw-fr ora_fw-la goodness_n respect_v the_o body_n consist_v in_o many_o action_n namely_o in_o those_o four_o which_o our_o saviour_n command_v to_o feed_v the_o hungry_a 8._o mat._n 25_o 35_o 36_o 2._o sam._n 2_o deut._n 15_o 7_o 8._o clothe_v the_o naked_a lodge_v the_o stranger_n visit_v those_o sick_a and_o in_o prison_n 5._o to_o bury_v the_o dead_a 6._o to_o lend_v liberal_o and_o free_o to_o the_o
