carry_v upward_o other_o downward_o and_o so_o break_v the_o union_n which_o preserve_v our_o life_n albert_n the_o great_a assign_v a_o five_o cause_n namely_o the_o contrariety_n of_o form_n and_o quality_n death_n happen_v when_o humidity_n have_v give_v place_n to_o dryness_n but_o because_o this_o excess_n of_o dryness_n may_v be_v correct_v by_o its_o contrary_n therefore_o the_o modern_n lay_v the_o fault_n upon_o the_o radical_a moisture_n which_o some_o of_o they_o say_v we_o receive_v from_o our_o parent_n and_o be_v continual_o impair_v without_o be_v at_o all_o recruit_v from_o the_o birth_n but_o this_o be_v absurd_a for_o then_o the_o son_n must_v have_v infinite_o less_o than_o his_o father_n because_o he_o receive_v but_o a_o very_a small_a portion_n which_o beside_o can_v be_v distribute_v through_o a_o great_a body_n nor_o afford_v supply_n to_o so_o many_o action_n other_o more_o probable_o affirm_v that_o the_o humidum_fw-la which_o be_v repair_v be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o purity_n with_o that_o which_o we_o derive_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o our_o birth_n by_o reason_n of_o reaction_n and_o its_o be_v continual_o alter_v by_o our_o heat_n but_o that_o which_o indubitate_v this_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o element_n do_v not_o maintain_v themselves_o but_o by_o reaction_n notwithstanding_o which_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v always_o in_o the_o same_o state_n fire_v as_o hot_a air_n as_o moist_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v inasmuch_o as_o the_o substantial_a form_n expel_v all_o quality_n which_o be_v not_o suitable_a to_o themselves_o and_o recover_v their_o natural_a one_o without_o other_o assistance_n moreover_o when_o old_a man_n beget_v child_n they_o communicate_v to_o they_o a_o excellent_a radical_a humidity_n otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v no_o generation_n and_o consequent_o they_o can_v do_v as_o well_o for_o themselves_o as_o for_o their_o posterity_n but_o if_o they_o give_v they_o such_o as_o be_v bad_a and_o corrupt_a it_o follow_v that_o their_o child_n who_o live_v after_o their_o death_n re-produce_a much_o better_a by_o their_o nutrition_n then_o that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v and_o consequent_o the_o radical_a humidity_n may_v not_o only_o be_v repair_v but_o meliorate_v and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o a_o exact_a course_n of_o diet_n may_v not_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o die_v as_o the_o chemist_n promise_n i_o have_v therefore_o rather_o say_v that_o as_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n be_v unknown_a to_o humane_a wit_n so_o be_v their_o disunion_n which_o i_o ascribe_v rather_o to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o supreme_a ruler_n who_o cause_v we_o to_o abide_v sentinel_n as_o long_o as_o he_o think_v meet_v then_o to_o any_o natural_a thing_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o those_o that_o deprive_v themselves_o of_o life_n be_v just_o punish_v because_o they_o dispose_v of_o what_o be_v not_o their_o own_o although_o it_o seem_v to_o the_o vulgar_a that_o they_o do_v wrong_a to_o none_o but_o themselves_o because_o it_o be_v by_o their_o own_o will_n and_o act_n the_o four_o say_v what_o be_v compose_v of_o contrary_n between_o which_o there_o be_v continual_a action_n necessary_o receive_v sundry_a change_n and_o alteration_n in_o its_o be_v which_o by_o degree_n bring_v it_o to_o a_o total_a corruption_n this_o be_v conspicuous_o see_v in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n the_o age_n and_o all_o other_o mutation_n whereof_o be_v as_o so_o many_o step_n towards_o death_n it_o be_v the_o most_o worthy_a employment_n of_o a_o man_n to_o consider_v that_o he_o die_v every_o day_n for_o as_o seneca_n say_v that_o which_o deceive_v we_o be_v that_o we_o consider_v death_n as_o afar_o off_o whereas_o a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o be_v already_o pass_v for_o it_o already_o possess_v all_o the_o time_n that_o we_o have_v be_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o instead_o of_o employ_v our_o time_n profitable_o we_o consume_v a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o in_o do_v nothing_o a_o great_a part_n in_o do_v ill_a and_o all_o in_o do_v other_o thing_n than_o ought_v to_o be_v which_o proceed_v from_o not_o think_v often_o enough_o upon_o death_n as_o which_o no_o preacher_n be_v so_o powerful_a for_o the_o fear_v it_o imprint_n in_o the_o soul_n virtue_n itself_o can_v whole_o eradicate_v the_o sole_a aspect_n of_o the_o shade_n of_o the_o dead_a or_o their_o voice_n imprint_v paleness_n upon_o the_o countenance_n of_o the_o most_o resolute_a therefore_o the_o philosopher_n hold_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v not_o only_o compatible_a with_o courage_n but_o that_o he_o who_o fear_v it_o not_o at_o all_o rather_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o mad_a then_o valiant_a the_o five_o say_v that_o they_o who_o have_v have_v recourse_n to_o death_n to_o deliver_v themselves_o from_o their_o misery_n as_o brutus_n cato_n his_o daughter_n portia_n and_o some_o other_o have_v
but_o one_o life_n to_o lose_v yet_o this_o action_n can_v not_o pass_v for_o a_o virtue_n since_o fortitude_n appear_v principal_o in_o suffering_n and_o misery_n which_o to_o avoid_v by_o death_n be_v rather_o cowardice_n and_o madness_n then_o true_a courage_n wherefore_o the_o poet_n just_o blame_v ajax_n for_o that_o after_o he_o have_v overcome_v hector_n despise_a fire_n and_o flame_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o subdue_v his_o own_o choler_n to_o which_o he_o sacrifice_v himself_o and_o lucretia_n much_o blemish_v the_o lustre_n of_o her_o chastity_n by_o her_o own_o murder_n for_o if_o she_o be_v not_o consent_v to_o tarquin_n crime_n why_o do_v she_o pollute_v her_o hand_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o innocent_a and_o for_o the_o fault_n which_o another_o have_v commit_v punishment_n as_o well_o as_o offence_n be_v personal_a he_o who_o kill_v himself_o only_o through_o weariness_n of_o live_v be_v ingrateful_a for_o the_o benefit_n of_o nature_n of_o which_o life_n be_v the_o chief_a if_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n he_o wrong_v his_o country_n by_o deprive_v it_o of_o one_o and_o of_o the_o service_n which_o he_o owe_v to_o it_o as_o he_o wrong_v justice_n if_o he_o be_v a_o wicked_a person_n that_o have_v commit_v some_o crime_n make_v himself_o his_o own_o witness_n judge_n and_o executioner_n therefore_o the_o prince_n of_o poet_n place_n those_o in_o hell_n who_o kill_v themselves_o and_o all_o law_n have_v establish_v punishment_n against_o they_o deprive_v they_o of_o sepulture_n because_o say_v egesippus_fw-la he_o that_o go_v out_o of_o the_o

the_o timorous_a fear_n it_o the_o fool_n procure_v it_o to_o himself_o and_o the_o mad_a man_n execute_v it_o but_o the_o wise_a attend_v it_o the_o three_o say_v that_o the_o generous_a resolution_n
