and_o hint_v at_o by_o way_n of_o application_n paragraph_n i._o of_o wit_n in_o general_n in_o this_o section_n we_o have_v four_o thing_n to_o consider_v of_o viz._n first_o the_o division_n or_o kind_n of_o wit_n namely_o wit_n be_v either_o force_v or_o natural_a i._o there_o be_v a_o force_a wit_n viz._n when_o man_n do_v thing_n invita_fw-la minerva_n or_o work_v against_o the_o grain_n concern_v these_o seneca_n say_v enforce_v wit_n never_o answer_v or_o satisfy_v expectation_n and_o that_o labour_n be_v in_o vain_a which_o nature_n repine_v at_o or_o oppose_v ii_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a wit_n viz._n when_o a_o man_n do_v a_o thing_n pingui_fw-la mineruâ_fw-la or_o ready_o this_o be_v either_o extraordinary_a or_o ordinary_a i._o there_o be_v extraordinary_a natural_a wit_n now_o concern_v these_o it_o be_v say_v if_o ground_n be_v moderate_o enrich_v with_o soil_n it_o bear_v plentiful_o but_o if_o the_o dung_n lie_v too_o thick_a upon_o it_o it_o send_v forth_o ordinary_o abundance_n of_o weed_n thus_o moderate_a wit_n often_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n when_o very_o quick_a wit_n and_o rare_a natural_a part_n abound_v with_o weed_n as_o many_o rare_a wit_n have_v produce_v or_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o play_n or_o scurrilous_a poem_n or_o devilish_a doctrine_n or_o damnable_a heresy_n as_o summi_fw-la philosophi_fw-la summi_fw-la haeresiarchi_fw-la the_o great_a philosopher_n be_v the_o arche_v heretic_n 2._o there_o be_v ordinary_a natural_a wit_n these_o be_v either_o i._o evil_a and_o abuse_v or_o and_o both_o be_v either_o ii_o good_a and_o well_o use_v and_o both_o be_v either_o 1._o more_o ripe_a and_o quick_a or_o 2._o more_o heavy_a and_o dull_a first_o some_o say_v a_o good_a ripe_a and_o quick_a wit_n have_v three_o degree_n viz._n i._o of_o hope_n this_o be_v in_o child_n ii_o of_o practice_n this_o be_v in_o young_a man_n and_o be_v perceive_v 1._o by_o a_o desire_n to_o learn_v and_o 2._o by_o a_o quick_a conception_n and_o apprehension_n and_o 3._o by_o a_o ready_a expression_n and_o answer_n and_o 4._o by_o a_o good_a memory_n and_o iii_o of_o perfection_n to_o wit_n of_o part_n this_o be_v in_o the_o elder_a sort_n when_o they_o quick_o conceive_v faithful_o remember_v and_o fruitful_o put_v in_o practice_n those_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v learn_v second_o there_o be_v a_o ordinary_a natural_a wit_n which_o be_v more_o dull_a and_o heavy_a and_o these_o wit_n often_o prove_v of_o great_a worth_n e.g._n archelaus_n the_o philosopher_n learning_n geometry_n of_o hipponicus_n be_v so_o dull_a and_o yet_o become_v so_o well_o learned_a yea_o so_o singular_a and_o excellent_a in_o that_o art_n that_o his_o master_n will_v say_v sure_o geometry_n fall_v into_o his_o mouth_n as_o he_o gape_v demosthenes_n be_v very_o hard_o to_o conceive_v and_o yet_o none_o more_o famous_a than_o he_o among_o the_o grecian_a orator_n upon_o the_o sudden_a he_o can_v not_o

difficult_o receive_v but_o more_o sure_o retain_v the_o liquor_n so_o wit_n that_o do_v more_o slow_o conceive_v for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v most_o sure_o remember_v wit_n get_v by_o industry_n though_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a in_o conceive_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o hasty_a in_o forget_v second_o observe_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o wit_n in_o general_n be_v namely_o i._o it_o make_v much_o of_o a_o little_a the_o sophist_n of_o greece_n can_v by_o their_o eloquence_n and_o copiousness_n of_o wit_n make_v of_o a_o mouse_n a_o elephant_n and_o of_o a_o molehill_n a_o mountain_n castilic_n in_o his_o courtier_n lib._n 2._o say_v i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o man_n so_o witty_a and_o eloquent_a that_o they_o have_v not_o want_v matter_n to_o make_v a_o book_n in_o the_o praise_n of_o a_o fly_n other_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o a_o quartane_a ague_n and_o another_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o baldness_n ii_o wit_n be_v not_o evil_a if_o well_o employ_v for_o as_o tully_n will_v have_v in_o his_o orator_n aliquid_fw-la redundans_fw-la &_o amputandum_fw-la some_o chip_n to_o be_v pair_v off_o from_o the_o sound_a timber_n so_o a_o man_n have_v better_o have_v somewhat_o too_o much_o wit_n than_o something_o too_o little_a rather_o something_o redundant_fw-la than_o want_n iii_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o great_a wit_n to_o stand_v much_o upon_o their_o credit_n as_o the_o best_a musician_n be_v most_o hard_o entreat_v to_o play_v cicero_n shall_v once_o have_v plead_v upon_o small_a warning_n but_o by_o a_o unexpected_a occasion_n it_o be_v defer_v to_o a_o long_a time_n

three_o observe_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o very_a ripe_a wit_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v namely_o first_o oftentimes_o soon_o ripe_a soon_o rot_v as_o those_o woman_n who_o conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o too_o soon_o do_v soon_o wax_v old_a as_o the_o indian_a calingae_n do_v who_o bring_v forth_o at_o five_o year_n old_a and_o die_v at_o eight_o as_o pliny_n say_v li._n 7._o c._n 2._o or_o as_o tree_n exceed_v fruitful_a do_v soon_o wax_v old_a so_o wit_n soon_o ripe_a and_o very_o quick_a betimes_o do_v often_o not_o always_o decay_v quick_o and_o flag_n or_o excellent_a wit_n be_v seldom_o long_o live_v and_o the_o best_a thing_n on_o earth_n do_v soon_o decline_v and_o fade_v as_o fire_v the_o clear_a it_o burn_v the_o soon_o it_o go_v forth_o so_o wit_n the_o more_o illustrious_a and_o ripe_a they_o be_v the_o short_a usual_o be_v their_o continuance_n among_o we_o second_o ripe_a wit_n be_v often_o too_o forward_o for_o as_o the_o sallow_a tree_n do_v cast_v off_o her_o seed_n before_o it_o be_v ripe_a whereupon_o homer_n call_v it_o a_o spoil-fruit_n so_o some_o wit_n too_o soon_o ripe_a will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o teach_v and_o write_v before_o it_o be_v meet_v three_o oftentimes_o ripe_a wit_n be_v barren_a of_o good_a fruit_n for_o as_o the_o olive-tree_n be_v long_o a_o grow_a but_o bring_v forth_o excellent_a fruit_n and_o the_o sallow-ttree_a present_o shoot_v up_o but_o be_v barren_a so_o it_o be_v usual_o with_o wit_n too_o soon_o ripe_a as_o the_o vine_n water_v with_o wine_n be_v soon_o wither_a as_o the_o blossom_n in_o the_o fat_a ground_n be_v soon_o blast_v and_o as_o the_o goat_n the_o fat_a she_o be_v the_o less_o fertile_a so_o the_o more_o witty_a that_o many_o man_n be_v the_o less_o happy_a they_o prove_v in_o the_o end_n four_o ripe_a wit_n be_v oftentime_o very_o fruitful_a in_o vice_n for_o as_o in_o great_a forest_n mighty_a wild_a beast_n be_v breed_v so_o in_o great_a wit_n great_a vice_n do_v too_o frequent_o spring_v up_o and_o as_o the_o fresh_a colour_n soon_o fade_v the_o keen_a razor_n soon_o turn_v his_o edge_n the_o fine_a cloth_n be_v soon_o eat_v with_o the_o moth_n and_o the_o camebrick_n soon_o stain_v than_o the_o course_n canvas_n so_o the_o most_o
pregnant_a wit_n be_v soon_o pervert_v or_o as_o the_o sleetish_a fish_n swallow_v the_o most_o delicate_a bait_n the_o high_a tower_a hawk_n train_v soon_a to_o the_o lure_n so_o the_o witty_a brain_n be_v soon_o inveigle_v with_o the_o sudden_a view_n of_o allure_a vanity_n or_o as_o the_o fine_a crystal_n be_v soon_o craze_v than_o the_o hard_a marble_n the_o green_a beech_n burn_v fast_a than_o the_o dry_a oak_n the_o fair_a silk_n be_v soon_o soil_v the_o sweet_a wine_n turn_v to_o the_o sharp_a vinegar_n the_o pestilence_n do_v soon_o infect_v the_o clear_a complexion_n and_o the_o caterpillar_n cleave_v to_o the_o ripe_a fruit_n so_o the_o most_o delicate_a wit_n be_v soon_o allure_v with_o small_a enticement_n unto_o vice_n and_o most_o subject_a to_o yield_v unto_o vanity_n fire_n a_o element_n so_o necessary_a that_o without_o it_o man_n can_v live_v do_v as_o well_o burn_v the_o house_n as_o burn_v in_o the_o house_n if_o it_o be_v abuse_v treacle_n do_v as_o well_o

draw_v out_o of_o the_o great_a wit_n if_o they_o be_v abuse_v by_o will_n or_o entangle_v by_o the_o world_n or_o allure_v by_o woman_n five_o ripe_a wit_n be_v oftentimes_o very_o fickle_a and_o inconstant_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o smooth_a than_o glass_n yet_o nothing_o more_o brittle_a nothing_o more_o white_a than_o snow_n yet_o nothing_o less_o firm_a so_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o trim_a than_o wit_n yet_o nothing_o more_o fickle_a as_o polypus_n upon_o what_o rock_n soever_o he_o sit_v turn_v himself_o or_o become_v of_o the_o same_o colour_n with_o the_o

four_o observe_v that_o gross_a diet_n and_o immoderate_a feeding_n be_v the_o impediment_n of_o wit_n and_o contrary_o choice_a diet_n and_o temperance_n be_v help_n thereunto_o thus_o much_o for_o

these_o three_o thing_n i._o to_o weed_n for_o as_o many_o wild_a weed_n grow_v in_o a_o field_n although_o naught_o of_o themselves_o yet_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o a_o fertile_a and_o fruitful_a

second_o observe_v that_o the_o evil_n and_o evil_a fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o wit_n abuse_v do_v either_o respect_v other_o or_o ourselves_o first_o some_o evil_n and_o evil_a fruit_n of_o wit_n
