plant_n quicken_v and_o inhabit_v by_o the_o most_o unworthy_a soul_n which_o therefore_o neither_o will_n nor_o work_n affect_v a_o end_n a_o perfection_n a_o death_n this_o they_o spend_v their_o spirit_n to_o attain_v this_o attain_v they_o languish_v and_o wither_v and_o by_o how_o much_o more_o they_o be_v by_o man_n industry_n warm_v cherish_v and_o pamper_a so_o much_o the_o more_o early_o they_o climb_v to_o this_o perfection_n this_o death_n and_o if_o among_o man_n not_o to_o defend_v be_v to_o kill_v what_o a_o heinous_a self-murder_n be_v it_o not_o to_o defend_v itself_o this_o defence_n because_o beast_n neglect_v they_o kill_v themselves_o because_o they_o exceed_v we_o in_o number_n strength_n and_o a_o lawless_a liberty_n yea_o of_o horse_n and_o other_o beast_n they_o that_o inherit_v most_o courage_n by_o be_v breed_v of_o gallant_a parent_n and_o by_o artificial_a nurse_n be_v better_v will_v run_v to_o their_o own_o death_n neither_o solicit_v by_o spur_n which_o they_o need_v not_o nor_o by_o honour_n which_o they_o apprehend_v not_o if_o then_o the_o valiant_a kill_v himself_o who_o can_v excuse_v the_o coward_n or_o how_o shall_v man_n be_v free_a from_o this_o since_o the_o first_o man_n teach_v we_o this_o except_o we_o can_v kill_v ourselves_o because_o he_o kill_v we_o all_o yet_o lest_o something_o shall_v repair_v this_o common_a ruin_n we_o daily_o kill_v our_o body_n with_o surfeit_n and_o our_o mind_n with_o anguish_n of_o our_o power_n remember_v kill_v our_o memory_n of_o affection_n lust_a our_o lust_n of_o virtue_n give_v kill_v liberality_n and_o if_o these_o kill_v themselves_o they_o do_v it_o in_o their_o best_a &_o supreme_a perfection_n for_o after_o perfection_n immediate_o follow_v excess_n which_o change_v the_o nature_n and_o the_o name_n and_o make_v they_o not_o the_o same_o thing_n if_o then_o the_o best_a thing_n kill_v themselves_o soon_o for_o no_o affection_n endure_v and_o all_o thing_n labour_v to_o this_o perfection_n all_o travel_n to_o their_o own_o death_n yea_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o god_n to_o be_v idle_a yet_o because_o it_o begin_v must_v die_v then_o in_o this_o idleness_n imagine_v in_o god_n what_o can_v kill_v the_o world_n but_o itself_o since_o out_o of_o it_o nothing_o be_v vi_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o find_v some_o virtue_n in_o some_o woman_n i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o sear_v impudence_n that_o i_o dare_v defend_v woman_n or_o pronounce_v they_o good_a yet_o we_o see_v physician_n allow_v some_o virtue_n in_o every_o poison_n alas_o why_o shall_v we_o except_v woman_n since_o certain_o they_o be_v good_a for_o physic_n at_o least_o so_o as_o some_o mine_n be_v good_a for_o a_o fever_n and_o though_o they_o be_v the_o occasioner_n of_o many_o sin_n they_o be_v also_o the_o punisher_n and_o revenger_n of_o the_o same_o sin_n for_o i_o have_v seldom_o see_v one_o which_o consume_v his_o substance_n and_o body_n upon_o they_o escape_v disease_n or_o beggary_n and_o this_o be_v their_o justice_n and_o if_o suum_fw-la cuique_fw-la dare_v be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o all_o civil_a justice_n they_o be_v most_o just_a for_o they_o deny_v that_o which_o be_v they_o to_o no_o man_n tanquam_fw-la non_fw-la liceat_fw-la nulla_fw-la pvella_fw-la negat_fw-la and_o who_o may_v doubt_v of_o great_a wisdom_n in_o they_o that_o do_v but_o observe_v with_o how_o much_o labour_n and_o cunning_a our_o justicer_n and_o other_o dispenser_n of_o the_o law_n study_v to_o embrace_v they_o and_o how_o zealous_o our_o preacher_n dehort_v man_n from_o they_o only_o by_o urge_v their_o subtlety_n and_o policy_n and_o wisdom_n which_o be_v in_o they_o or_o who_o can_v deny_v they_o a_o good_a measure_n of_o fortitude_n if_o he_o consider_v how_o valiant_a man_n they_o have_v overthrow_v and_o be_v themselves_o overthrow_v how_o much_o and_o how_o patient_o they_o bear_v and_o though_o they_o be_v most_o intemperate_a i_o care_v not_o for_o i_o undertake_v to_o furnish_v they_o with_o some_o virtue_n not_o with_o all_o necessity_n which_o make_v even_o bad_a thing_n good_a prevail_v also_o for_o they_o for_o we_o must_v say_v of_o they_o as_o of_o some_o sharp_a pinch_a law_n if_o man_n be_v free_a from_o infirmity_n they_o be_v needless_a these_o or_o none_o must_v serve_v for_o

more_o fantastic_a then_o young_a who_o read_v this_o paradox_n but_o think_v i_o more_o fantastic_a now_o than_o i_o be_v yesterday_o when_o i_o do_v not_o think_v thus_o and_o if_o one_o day_n make_v this_o sensible_a change_n in_o man_n what_o will_v the_o burden_n of_o many_o year_n to_o be_v fantastic_a in_o young_a man_n be_v conceiptfull_a distemperature_n and_o a_o witty_a madness_n but_o in_o old_a man_n who_o sense_n be_v wither_v it_o become_v natural_a therefore_o more_o full_a and_o perfect_a for_o as_o when_o we_o sleep_v our_o fancy_n be_v most_o strong_a so_o it_o be_v in_o age_n which_o be_v a_o slumber_n of_o the_o deep_a sleep_n of_o death_n they_o tax_v we_o of_o inconstancy_n which_o in_o themselves_o young_a they_o allow_v so_o that_o reprove_v that_o which_o they_o do_v approve_v their_o inconstancy_n exceed_v we_o because_o they_o have_v change_v once_o more_o than_o we_o yea_o they_o be_v more_o idle_o busy_v in_o conceit_a apparel_n than_o we_o for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v melancholy_a wear_v black_a when_o lusty_a green_a when_o forsake_v tawny_a please_v our_o own_o inward_a affection_n leave_v they_o to_o other_o indifferent_a but_o they_o prescribe_v law_n and_o constrain_v the_o noble_a the_o scholar_n the_o merchant_n and_o all_o estate_n to_o a_o certain_a habit_n the_o old_a man_n of_o our_o time_n have_v change_v with_o patience_n their_o own_o body_n much_o of_o their_o law_n much_o of_o their_o language_n yea_o their_o religion_n yet_o they_o accuse_v we_o to_o be_v amorous_a be_v proper_a and_o natural_a in_o a_o young_a man_n but_o in_o a_o old_a man_n most_o fantastic_a and_o that_o riddle_a humour_n of_o jealousy_n which_o seek_v and_o will_v not_o find_v which_o require_v and_o repent_v his_o knowledge_n be_v in_o they_o most_o common_a yet_o most_o fantastic_a yea_o that_o which_o fall_v never_o in_o young_a man_n be_v in_o they_o most_o fantastic_a and_o natural_a that_o be_v covetousness_n even_o at_o their_o journey_n end_v to_o make_v great_a provision_n be_v any_o habit_n of_o young_a man_n so_o fantastic_a as_o in_o the_o hot_a season_n to_o be_v double-gowned_n or_o hood_v like_o our_o elder_n or_o seem_v it_o so_o ridiculous_a to_o wear_v long_a hair_n as_o to_o wear_v none_o true_o as_o among_o the_o philosopher_n the_o skeptike_a which_o doubt_v all_o be_v more_o contentious_a then_o either_o the_o dogmatike_n which_o affirm_v or_o academike_n which_o deny_v all_o so_o be_v these_o uncertain_a elder_n which_o both_o call_v they_o fantastic_a which_o follow_v other_o invention_n and_o they_o also_o which_o be_v lead_v by_o their_o own_o humorous_a suggestion_n more_o fantastic_a than_o other_o viii_o that_o nature_n be_v our_o worst_a guide_n shall_v she_o be_v guide_n to_o all_o creature_n which_o be_v herself_o one_o or_o if_o she_o also_o have_v a_o guide_n shall_v any_o creature_n have_v a_o better_a guide_n than_o we_o the_o affection_n of_o lust_n and_o anger_n
