this_o word_n voluntary_a unproper_o in_o have_v apply_v it_o absolute_o for_o although_o combat_n be_v voluntary_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o absolute_o voluntary_a but_o have_v ever_o mix_v with_o it_o some_o circumstance_n not_o voluntary_a i_o rest_v altogether_o perplex_v say_v count_n alfonso_n neither_o can_v i_o imagine_v how_o combat_n shall_v be_v either_o voluntary_a or_o violent_a to_o manifest_v this_o unto_o you_o return_v gualinguo_fw-la and_o withal_o to_o discover_v the_o error_n of_o possevino_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o i_o give_v you_o distinct_o to_o understand_v what_o action_n be_v absolute_o voluntary_a and_o what_o not_o voluntary_a and_o which_o mix_v that_o be_v which_o have_v join_v with_o they_o a_o little_a force_n or_o constraint_n and_o this_o i_o will_v do_v the_o more_o willing_o in_o that_o all_o this_o i_o be_o to_o tell_v you_o will_v be_v not_o small_a assistance_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o virtuous_a operation_n for_o no_o action_n can_v be_v term_v virtuous_a or_o vicious_a worthy_a of_o honour_n or_o deserve_a blame_n demeriting_a reward_n or_o punishment_n if_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o voluntary_a i_o affirm_v therefore_o that_o to_o be_v absolute_o volumarie_a seven_o condition_n be_v require_v as_o the_o philosopher_n very_o well_o teach_v in_o his_o moralle_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o beginning_n be_v in_o he_o that_o work_v and_o not_o external_a or_o without_o he_o the_o second_o be_v that_o he_o understand_v his_o own_o action_n the_o three_o concern_v what_o or_o for_o what_o cause_n he_o work_v the_o sift_n after_o what_o sort_n the_o sixth_o to_o what_o end_n that_o be_v in_o favour_n of_o who_o the_o last_o that_o he_o perform_v such_o a_o action_n voluntary_o and_o not_o with_o grief_n whensoever_o therefore_o any_o of_o these_o condition_n shall_v fail_v out_o of_o doubt_v the_o action_n can_v absolute_o be_v term_v voluntary_a but_o shall_v either_o not_o be_v voluntary_a or_o retain_v with_o it_o some_o part_n or_o circumstance_n of_o constraint_n help_v my_o understanding_n say_v count_n alfonso_n with_o some_o example_n to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v better_o comprehend_v these_o circumstance_n of_o absolute_o voluntary_a and_o gua._n behold_v a_o example_n we_o may_v commit_v a_o error_n not_o understand_v the_o matter_n as_o he_o do_v that_o put_v away_o a_o false_a crown_n esteem_v it_o good_a this_o action_n may_v be_v term_v not_o voluntary_a for_o if_o he_o have_v know_v so_o much_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n he_o will_v not_o have_v spend_v it_o and_o therefore_o be_v worthy_a of_o pardon_n and_o not_o of_o punishment_n in_o like_a sort_n we_o may_v err_v not_o know_v the_o matter_n or_o concern_v what_o we_o work_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v offend_v his_o father_n esteem_v he_o a_o enemy_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o unhappy_a oedipus_n do_v we_o may_v likewise_o err_v by_o not_o know_v the_o instrument_n wherewith_o we_o work_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v strike_v with_o a_o spear_n believe_v it_o to_o be_v without_o a_o head_n or_o with_o a_o marble_n stone_n take_v it_o for_o a_o pumix_n five_o we_o err_v about_o the_o manner_n how_o as_o if_o one_o think_v to_o strike_v soft_o shall_v smite_v hard_a six_o we_o err_v concern_v the_o end_n &_o of_o all_o other_o error_n it_o be_v the_o great_a as_o if_o a_o physician_n to_o heal_v his_o patient_a shall_v lance_v a_o imposthume_n and_o by_o such_o incision_n procure_v he_o to_o die_v last_o that_o action_n be_v not_o absolute_o voluntary_a but_o have_v somewhat_o not_o voluntary_o mix_v with_o it_o when_o one_o work_v have_v know_v league_n of_o all_o the_o circumstance_n above_o name_v &_o yet_o enforce_v &_o with_o grief_n perform_v such_o a_o action_n as_o it_o happen_v to_o he_o who_o to_o save_v his_o life_n cast_v his_o good_n into_o the_o sea_n now_o by_o absolute_a voluntary_a we_o may_v conceive_v that_o not_o voluntary_a which_o be_v in_o two_o manner_n that_o be_v by_o force_n or_o ignorance_n by_o force_n be_v that_o when_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o action_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o performer_n but_o be_v extrinsecall_v and_o without_o he_o as_o if_o one_o take_v my_o arm_n by_o force_n shall_v strike_v another_o therewith_o and_o therefore_o this_o action_n be_v violent_a because_o the_o actor_n consent_v not_o thereunto_o neither_o as_o agent_n nor_o patient_a by_o ignorance_n be_v he_o that_o work_v not_o know_v any_o of_o those_o circumstance_n by_o i_o recite_v and_o this_o though_o always_o it_o be_v not_o voluntary_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o ever_o unwilling_o perform_v but_o sometime_o it_o happen_v that_o they_o be_v perform_v both_o voluntary_o and_o not_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v count_v guydo_o that_o one_o thing_n may_v be_v not_o voluntary_a &_o yet_o voluntary_o act_v when_o after_o a_o operation_n perform_v ignorant_o reply_v gualin_n there_o ensue_v not_o grief_n or_o repentance_n but_o rather_o joy_n and_o contentment_n that_o be_v a_o action_n not_o voluntary_a voluntary_o perform_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v shoot_v a_o arrow_n where_o he_o think_v some_o wild_a beast_n lie_v hide_v and_o with_o this_o shall_v kill_v his_o enemy_n there_o in_o covert_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o man_n unwilling_o have_v voluntary_o slay_v he_o he_o after_o the_o fact_n remain_v joyful_a and_o well_o satisfy_v but_o when_o repentance_n follow_v such_o operation_n in_o such_o a_o case_n they_o be_v not_o voluntary_a and_o against_o will_n perform_v there_o be_v other_o action_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v term_v mix_v because_o they_o have_v annex_v to_o they_o some_o respect_n voluntary_a some_o not_o volun_n tarry_v for_o voluntary_a they_o be_v as_o not_o be_v perform_v by_o force_n for_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o action_n be_v in_o the_o actor_n who_o be_v privy_a to_o the_o circumstance_n by_o i_o rehearse_v but_o yet_o have_v some_o consideration_n in_o they_o of_o not_o voluntary_a insomuch_o as_o they_o be_v perform_v for_o fear_n of_o great_a ill_o or_o for_o hope_n of_o some_o good_a &_o so_o unwilling_o perform_v be_v such_o action_n as_o no_o man_n of_o sound_a mind_n will_v undertake_v as_o if_o a_o tyrant_n have_v in_o his_o power_n the_o father_n or_o child_n of_o some_o one_o shall_v command_v he_o to_o perform_v some_o infamous_a fact_n with_o this_o condition_n that_o perform_v it_o his_o father_n and_o child_n shall_v be_v free_a and_o on_o the_o contrary_n not_o accomplish_v it_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n the_o like_a be_v as_o i_o say_v by_o they_o who_o for_o fear_n of_o shipwreck_n cast_v out_o their_o good_n for_o simple_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o of_o his_o own_o proper_a will_n cast_v away_o his_o good_n this_o grant_v we_o may_v easy_o conceive_v that_o this_o word_n voluntary_a place_v by_o possevino_n in_o his_o definition_n of_o combat_n can_v be_v intend_v by_o absolute_a voluntarine_n as_o himself_o it_o seem_v understand_v it_o for_o notwithstanding_o in_o he_o that_o fight_v the_o internal_a beginning_n of_o such_o a_o action_n consist_v &_o that_o it_o be_v not_o perform_v by_o ignorance_n yet_o have_v it_o some_o circumstance_n of_o not_o voluntary_o annex_v to_o it_o first_o because_o it_o be_v do_v for_o fear_n of_o great_a evil_n as_o will_v be_v the_o loss_n of_o honour_n which_o the_o professor_n thereof_o prefer_v before_o his_o own_o life_n second_o in_o that_o no_o man_n of_o right_a sense_n will_v choose_v to_o put_v his_o life_n honour_n &_o soul_n to_o compromise_v as_o combatant_n do_v within_o the_o list_n poss_n have_v err_v by_o improper_o place_v this_o word_n voluntary_o in_o his_o definition_n neither_o can_v this_o alegation_n excuse_v he_o that_o he_o put_v it_o in_o for_o difference_n of_o conflict_n make_v by_o force_n see_v all_o conflict_n be_v forcible_o attempt_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n i_o have_v declare_v they_o be_v perform_v for_o fear_n of_o great_a evil_a but_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o place_v it_o as_o a_o difference_n of_o violent_a &_o not_o voluntary_a which_o be_v of_o that_o when_o the_o beginning_n of_o operation_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o actor_n it_o will_v be_v superfluous_a for_o such_o a_o instance_n can_v not_o be_v imagine_v in_o combatant_n within_o the_o list_n unless_o posseu_n mean_v that_o the_o wind_n shall_v face_v to_o face_n blow_v the_o combatant_n one_o against_o a_o other_o with_o their_o arm_n the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o to_o be_v bruise_v but_o proceed_v further_o after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o combat_n be_v a_o voluntary_a encounter_n or_o conflict_n he_o add_v wherein_o one_o intend_v to_o prove_v upon_o another_o that_o he_o be_v a_o honourable_a man_n
