which_o the_o ancient_n have_v call_v the_o seat_n of_o modesty_n and_o therefore_o plato_n bring_v in_o socrates_n cover_v his_o eye_n when_o as_o he_o will_v make_v a_o discourse_n of_o love_n wherein_o he_o think_v there_o be_v some_o shame_n for_o a_o man_n make_v profession_n of_o deep_a wisdom_n the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v ashamed_a to_o see_v our_o defect_n know_v to_o man_n who_o we_o great_o respect_v and_o reverence_n the_o ancient_n do_v always_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o good_a sign_n and_o presage_n in_o young_a man_n to_o see_v they_o blush_v easy_o wherefore_o they_o call_v this_o blush_v the_o colour_n or_o vermillion_a of_o virtue_n yea_o that_o great_a roman_a censor_n say_v that_o he_o love_v they_o better_o that_o blush_v than_o such_o as_o grow_v pale_a for_o that_o to_o be_v pale_a be_v a_o sign_n they_o fear_v some_o danger_n so_o as_o they_o that_o grow_v pale_a seem_v to_o have_v a_o apprehension_n to_o be_v call_v in_o question_n for_o some_o crime_n and_o punish_v whereas_o they_o that_o blush_v show_v they_o be_v ashamed_a and_o apprehend_v even_o the_o very_a suspicion_n of_o do_v ill_o but_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o people_n in_o who_o a_o honest_a bashfulness_n be_v more_o commendable_a yea_o upon_o the_o light_a occasion_n then_o in_o virgin_n and_o woman_n for_o to_o blush_v for_o word_n for_o motion_n and_o for_o the_o least_o licentious_a action_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o exact_a modesty_n which_o be_v the_o rare_a and_o the_o most_o rich_a ornament_n of_o their_o sex_n but_o to_o return_v to_o young_a man_n as_o it_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n to_o see_v they_o blush_v for_o that_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o follow_v their_o passion_n by_o reason_n of_o this_o great_a heat_n of_o blood_n which_o abound_v in_o they_o and_o inflame_v they_o it_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n to_o see_v that_o shame_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o retire_v they_o from_o vice_n but_o this_o kind_n of_o shame_n be_v not_o much_o commendable_a in_o man_n of_o ripe_a age_n who_o have_v not_o this_o spur_n to_o incite_v they_o to_o evil_a and_o moreover_o virtue_n shall_v have_v take_v deep_a root_n in_o their_o heart_n whereby_o all_o their_o action_n shall_v be_v commendable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n so_o as_o they_o have_v no_o subject_n to_o blush_v but_o if_o they_o fall_v into_o this_o defect_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o judge_v themselves_o and_o that_o their_o virtue_n be_v not_o perfect_a nor_o complete_a proportionable_a to_o their_o age_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o effect_n which_o shame_n produce_v in_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v some_o good_a as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n but_o she_o also_o produce_v bad_a many_o time_n she_o have_v make_v they_o valiant_a who_o be_v fainthearted_a and_o fearful_a yea_o we_o have_v see_v whole_a army_n be_v amaze_v and_o terrify_v have_v resume_v courage_n by_o the_o presence_n of_o caesar_n alexander_n scipio_n &_o other_o great_a commander_n who_o have_v bring_v back_o their_o soldier_n in_o battle_n for_o that_o the_o great_a esteem_n they_o have_v of_o such_o excellent_a captain_n make_v they_o blush_v to_o fly_v before_o they_o yea_o to_o choose_v a_o most_o certain_a death_n rather_o than_o to_o be_v hold_v coward_n by_o such_o wotthy_a man_n moreover_o there_o have_v be_v soldier_n who_o have_v faint_o maintain_v a_o encounter_n the_o next_o day_n to_o wipe_v away_o this_o shame_n have_v perform_v wonder_n whereof_o the_o greek_a and_o roman_a history_n furnish_v we_o with_o many_o example_n beside_o shame_n do_v retire_v we_o often_o from_o dishonest_a thing_n as_o appear_v in_o he_o who_o confess_v free_o that_o he_o play_v not_o at_o dice_n for_o that_o he_o be_v ashamed_a any_o one_o shall_v see_v he_o lose_v his_o time_n in_o so_o bad_a a_o exercise_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n shame_n divert_v we_o many_o time_n from_o commendable_a thing_n yea_o and_o from_o those_o which_o be_v profitable_a and_o which_o concern_v the_o preservation_n of_o our_o life_n as_o for_o example_n you_o see_v at_o banquet_n some_o be_v press_v to_o drink_v extraordinary_o be_v
