that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o but_o have_v rather_o be_v account_v knave_n than_o fool_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o man_n general_o pretend_v to_o these_o excellency_n of_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n even_o such_o as_o be_v most_o destitute_a of_o they_o and_o rather_o than_o want_v these_o perfection_n they_o will_v call_v even_o their_o vice_n and_o imperfection_n by_o this_o name_n craft_n

appearance_n of_o they_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o man_n high_o esteem_v they_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o excellency_n be_v in_o great_a dearness_n among_o man_n because_o we_o hold_v they_o so_o fast_o that_o when_o we_o can_v possess_v the_o reality_n of_o they_o yet_o we_o love_v to_o enjoy_v the_o opinion_n of_o they_o and_o rather_o than_o be_v whole_o disseise_v of_o they_o will_v hold_v they_o by_o that_o sleight_n and_o fantastic_a tenure_n of_o imagination_n now_o if_o we_o account_v they_o such_o excellency_n we_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v possess_v of_o they_o in_o
