not_o by_o any_o necessary_a bond_n or_o obligation_n in_o which_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o creature_n to_o give_v it_o but_o that_o which_o have_v proportion_n unto_o and_o congruity_n with_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o to_o which_o therefore_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a aptitude_n and_o appetite_n or_o propension_n second_o by_o all_o good_a i_o say_v because_o man_n be_v a_o compound_n creature_n must_v have_v a_o compound_n happiness_n of_o many_o ingredient_n because_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o whole_a must_v result_v from_o the_o perfection_n of_o every_o part_n

in_o that_o respect_n they_o have_v to_o happiness_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n by_o the_o action_n of_o virtue_n second_o knowledge_n of_o that_o possession_n and_o a_o consideration_n

to_o milk_v out_o all_o the_o good_a that_o can_v be_v in_o they_o to_o suck_v out_o all_o the_o juice_n and_o sweetness_n all_o the_o marrow_n and_o fatness_n that_o they_o have_v and_o the_o name_n of_o felicity_n sometime_o import_v some_o one_o of_o these_o sometime_o two_o or_o more_o and_o the_o opinion_n of_o philosopher_n and_o divine_v according_o pitch_v upon_o they_o but_o where_o

of_o happiness_n must_v set_v it_o forth_o like_a that_o of_o peace_n among_o the_o ancient_n with_o a_o cornucopia_a a_o horn_n of_o plenty_n in_o the_o hand_n or_o like_o the_o picture_n of_o pan_n

essential_a happiness_n i_o understand_v which_o though_o it_o want_v many_o particular_n which_o be_v de_fw-fr integritate_fw-la felicitatis_fw-la yet_o it_o have_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v de_fw-fr

not_o lose_v the_o name_n of_o wine_n for_o a_o little_a water_n mingle_v with_o it_o so_o here_o though_o there_o be_v some_o want_n and_o consequent_o some_o misery_n mingle_v with_o this_o happiness_n yet_o take_v more_o of_o happiness_n than_o misery_n it_o have_v the_o name_n and_o nature_n of_o happiness_n and_o this_o i_o call_v essential_a happiness_n and_o this_o i_o say_v must_v be_v place_v in_o god_n alone_a and_o our_o fruition_n of_o he_o or_o union_n with_o he_o but_o to_o handle_v this_o point_n more_o full_o as_o i_o purpose_v in_o the_o rest_n hereafter_o to_o take_v some_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o a_o ground_n and_o foundation_n to_o build_v upon_o where_o it_o may_v be_v do_v convenient_o so_o i_o will_v do_v here_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o 144_o psalm_n where_o you_o have_v these_o word_n bless_v be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n yea_o blessed_a be_v the_o people_n who_o god_n be_v
