divine_a whereof_o the_o philosopher_n say_v in_o the_o 2._o book_n of_o ethic_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a mere_a beast_n line_n to_o say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v better_o then_o by_o virtue_n heroical_a &_o divine_a even_o as_o homer_n feign_v that_o priamus_n say_v of_o hector_n that_o because_o he_o be_v so_o very_o good_a he_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n

that_o all_o be_v direct_v to_o this_o end_n to_o wit_n to_o get_v felicity_n upon_o which_o auerrhois_n say_v if_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v believe_v and_o as_o it_o be_v
