they_o like_o a_o ill_a mower_n that_o mow_v on_o still_o and_o never_o whet_v his_o since_o whereas_o with_o the_o learned_a man_n it_o fare_v otherwise_o that_o he_o do_v ever_o intermix_v the_o

and_o perturbation_n from_o moral_a virtue_n let_v we_o pass_v on_o to_o matter_n of_o power_n and_o commandment_n and_o consider_v whether_o in_o right_a reason_n there_o be_v any_o comparable_a with_o that_o wherewith_o knowledge_n invest_v and_o crown_v man_n nature_n we_o see_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v according_a to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o command_v to_o have_v commandment_n over_o beast_n as_o herdsman_n have_v be_v a_o thing_n contemptible_a to_o have_v commandment_n over_o child_n as_o schoolmaster_n have_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o small_a honour_n to_o have_v commandment_n over_o galleyslave_n be_v a_o disparagement_n rather_o than_o a_o honour_n neither_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o tyrant_n much_o better_o over_o people_n which_o have_v put_v off_o the_o generosity_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v ever_o hold_v that_o honour_n in_o free_a monarchy_n and_o commonwealth_n have_v a_o sweetness_n more_o than_o in_o tyranny_n because_o the_o commandment_n extend_v more_o over_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o not_o only_o over_o their_o deed_n and_o service_n and_o therefore_o when_o virgil_n put_v himself_o forth_o to_o attribute_v to_o augustus_n caesar_n the_o best_a of_o humane_a honour_n he_o do_v it_o in_o these_o word_n victorque_fw-la volentes_fw-la per_fw-la populos_fw-la that_fw-mi iura_fw-la viamque_fw-la affectat_fw-la olympo_fw-la but_o yet_o the_o commandment_n of_o knowledge_n be_v yet_o high_o than_o the_o commandment_n over_o the_o will_n for_o it_o be_v a_o commandment_n over_o the_o reason_n belief_n and_o understand_v of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o high_a part_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o give_v law_n to_o the_o will_n itself_o for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n on_o earth_n which_o set_v up_o
