if_o a_o body_n live_v evil_a be_v it_o good_a to_o he_o to_o live_v i_o think_v no_o but_o rather_o evil_a quoth_v i._o for_o how_o ꝙ_n he_o can_v it_o be_v good_a to_o live_v when_o it_o be_v to_o

the_o which_o do_v live_v well_o have_v in_o they_o a_o evil_a thing_n for_o they_o have_v in_o they_o life_n the_o which_o be_v a_o evil_a thing_n i_o seem_v you_o say_v troth_n for_o because_o that_o life_n happen_v to_o both_o as_o well_o to_o the_o liver_n well_o as_o to_o the_o liver_n evil_a therefore_o life_n can_v neither_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n nor_o a_o evyll_n no_o more_o than_o

well_o and_o nobul_o i_o have_v rather_o quoth_v i_o to_o die_v well_o than_o to_o die_v it_o be_v none_o evyll_n thing_n see_v that_o many_o time_n death_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o life_n it_o be_v so_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n may_v be_v make_v of_o health_n and_o syckenes_n for_o often_o time_n be_v not_o profitable_a to_o be_v in_o health_n but_o the_o contrary_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v such_o circumstance_n there_o may_v be_v thou_o say_v troth_n come_v of_o now_o than_o let_v we_o considre_fw-mi in_o like_a manner_n of_o riches_n may_v we_o not_o see_v as_o it_o

if_o we_o at_o the_o least_o geve_v credence_n to_o it_o whereof_o socrates_n in_o plato_n doubt_v nothing_o at_o all_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n the_o veraie_a man_n to_o be_v the_o soul_n and_o this_o
