and_o sincerity_n of_o spirit_n you_o do_v afterward_o master_n dominico_n follow_v on_o your_o matter_n tell_v we_o the_o manifest_a folly_n of_o herode_fw-la ascalonita_n whereunto_o i_o need_v

be_v banish_v other_o die_v in_o prison_n other_o hang_v as_o a_o recompense_n of_o their_o unaduised_a enterprise_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o set_v their_o folly_n before_o we_o as_o

do_v not_o vaunt_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o the_o blood_n royal_a but_o do_v deny_v that_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o pharaoh_n his_o daughter_n desire_v rather_o to_o be_v persecute_v

be_v recommend_v unto_o we_o &_o not_o those_o recite_v by_o you_o how_o weak_a then_o worthy_a gent._n the_o reason_n be_v that_o possidonio_n yesterday_o with_o many_o word_n set_v forth_o you_o may_v already_o partly_o judge_v as_o i_o will_v better_o approve_v unto_o you_o by_o the_o sequel_n of_o my_o discourse_n forasmuch_o as_o speak_v of_o nobility_n he_o be_v force_v to_o descend_v unto_o virtue_n whence_o true_a and_o perfect_a nobility_n be_v derive_v whereof_o he_o discourse_v i_o know_v not_o what_o but_o he_o make_v such_o large_a flight_n a_n far_o off_o as_o the_o first_o falcon_n do_v yesternight_o about_o the_o pheasant_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o perceive_v that_o the_o clear_a light_n thereof_o do_v overmuch_o blear_v his_o eye_n wherefore_o like_v as_o the_o warrior_n who_o find_v himself_o overmatch_v with_o weapon_n which_o he_o can_v wield_v leave_v they_o to_o take_v other_o which_o he_o may_v manage_v with_o great_a facility_n even_o so_o fall_v it_o out_o yesterday_o with_o possidonio_n for_o have_v arm_v himself_o with_o virtue_n and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v it_o he_o have_v his_o sudden_a recourse_n unto_o riches_n he_o skirmish_v so_o lively_a with_o they_o that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o thereby_o make_v himself_o more_o noble_a than_o i_o be_o but_o then_o any_o other_o man_n likewise_o but_o now_o i_o be_v come_v to_o prove_v what_o force_n those_o weapon_n have_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o manifest_a that_o they_o be_v far_o more_o weak_a and_o of_o less_o defence_n than_o the_o other_o he_o ground_v himself_o upon_o two_o proposition_n the_o one_o be_v that_o a_o learned_a and_o virtuous_a man_n have_v no_o nobility_n in_o he_o as_o if_o that_o learning_n serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o make_v a_o man_n noble_a if_o he_o want_v such_o riches_n as_o be_v require_v to_o be_v in_o a_o gentleman_n because_o they_o be_v no_o less_o necessary_a in_o nobility_n then_o blood_n be_v the_o other_o be_v that_o declare_v what_o good_n be_v he_o force_v himself_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v riches_n now_o before_o i_o enter_v into_o the_o first_o proposition_n i_o will_v make_v manifest_a unto_o you_o what_o truth_n be_v in_o the_o last_o to_o the_o end_n you_o afterwards_o may_v with_o more_o ease_n know_v the_o verity_n of_o the_o other_o thou_o will_v then_o possidonio_n have_v riches_n to_o be_v good_n thou_o deceive_v thyself_o great_o for_o if_o they_o be_v good_n they_o will_v cause_v the_o man_n that_o possess_v they_o to_o become_v better_a and_o more_o perfect_a than_o he_o be_v for_o such_o be_v the_o property_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o riches_n do_v not_o effect_v this_o for_o if_o these_o certain_a good_n do_v make_v a_o man_n more_o perfect_a we_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v less_o perfect_a than_o the_o thing_n by_o which_o he_o be_v make_v more_o perfect_a which_o if_o thou_o grant_v for_o true_a it_o shall_v follow_v that_o gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n tree_n and_o other_o live_a creature_n deprive_v of_o reason_n for_o these_o thing_n and_o such_o like_a be_v riches_n shall_v be_v more_o perfect_a and_o more_o noble_a than_o man_n which_o shall_v be_v too_o great_a a_o folly_n to_o think_v much_o more_o to_o utter_v we_o will_v then_o conclude_v that_o riches_n be_v no_o good_n moreover_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n very_o evident_a that_o of_o a_o good_a thing_n can_v nothing_o follow_v but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o of_o these_o thy_o riches_n what_o good_a may_v ever_o ensue_v nay_o rather_o all_o venomous_a branch_n do_v spring_n from_o that_o root_n they_o be_v not_o then_o good_a but_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o evil_a which_o may_v evident_o be_v see_v by_o the_o unbrideled_a desire_n marcus_n crassus_n do_v bear_v unto_o riches_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o rob_v the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o not_o only_o of_o his_o own_o death_n

to_o overcome_v the_o enemy_n in_o the_o end_n be_v drive_v to_o that_o necessity_n that_o with_o small_a ado_n he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o son_n death_n and_o the_o discomfiture_n of_o the_o
