with_o these_o good_a thing_n give_v moreover_o riches_n abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n if_o not_o to_o all_o sure_o to_o many_o and_o to_o they_o especial_o that_o be_v weak_a to_o bear_v evil_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o upon_o who_o he_o bestow_v less_o riches_n or_o gift_n of_o the_o body_n upon_o they_o he_o bestow_v more_o gift_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o all_o thing_n may_v

great_a pleasure_n power_n rule_n honour_n fame_n glory_n favour_n etc_n etc_n which_o if_o he_o permit_v to_o enjoy_v a_o long_a time_n yea_o but_o a_o small_a time_n they_o will_v easy_o admonish_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o a_o little_a evil_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o all_o these_o as_o wit_n knowledge_n mind_n judgement_n eloquence_n wisdom_n &_o as_o in_o the_o other_o so_o in_o bestow_v of_o these_o he_o use_v a_o mean_a and_o equality_n so_o that_o upon_o who_o he_o have_v bestow_v more_o of_o these_o good_a thing_n he_o have_v not_o therefore_o prefer_v they_o before_o other_o who_o in_o steed_n of_o these_o he_o have_v give_v more_o peace_n or_o pleasure_n of_o the_o mind_n now_o in_o all_o these_o we_o must_v with_o
