if_o good_a and_o just_a man_n be_v the_o possessor_n of_o knowledge_n than_o art_n and_o science_n may_v probable_o become_v useful_a to_o the_o public_a weal_n though_o they_o render_v their_o

and_o hence_o it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o philosopher_n will_v be_v more_o happy_a than_o divine_v for_o true_a beatitude_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a thing_n but_o in_o good_a life_n not_o in_o understanding_n but_o in_o live_v understand_o neither_o be_v it_o great_a learning_n but_o good_a will_n that_o join_v man_n to_o god_n nor_o do_v outward_a art_n

for_o the_o which_o man_n labour_v to_o seek_v it_o and_o can_v find_v it_o yea_o and_o though_o the_o wise_a man_n think_v to_o know_v it_o he_o can_v find_v it_o nothing_o can_v happen_v more_o

which_o condemn_v the_o truth_n have_v mount_v error_n to_o a_o throne_n therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n neither_o be_v valentinian_n the_o emperor_n to_o be_v dispraise_v who_o be_v report_v to_o
