to_o be_v instruct_v by_o their_o learning_n and_o wisdom_n they_o send_v they_o also_o unto_o lawyer_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v just_a and_o honest_a and_o all_o

their_o action_n according_a to_o virtue_n and_o to_o procure_v unto_o themselves_o good_a and_o honest_a habit_n of_o the_o mind_n since_o these_o thing_n require_v a_o mind_n full_o persuade_v and_o true_o assent_v thereunto_o but_o in_o perceive_v of_o other_o faculty_n it_o be_v enough_o if_o the_o wit_n be_v apply_v which_o whosoever_o shall_v have_v it_o but_o dull_a and_o blockish_a shall_v

prompt_a and_o witty_a they_o will_v easy_o understand_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v teach_v but_o to_o express_v the_o precept_n of_o this_o faculty_n in_o this_o life_n they_o will_v not_o be_v

hearer_n i_o will_v show_v it_o by_o example_n namely_o by_o abstinence_n to_o overcome_v lust_n by_o valiant_a and_o temperate_a action_n if_o they_o be_v often_o practise_v

in_o his_o second_o book_n de_fw-fr finibus_fw-la say_v that_o therefore_o felicity_n depend_v of_o wisdom_n because_o the_o same_o cleave_v fast_o and_o steadfast_o to_o the_o mind_n that_o fortune_n be_v oftententimes_o change_v and_o alter_v no_o man_n doubt_v whereupon_o appear_v how_o far_o these_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n as_o touch_v the_o other_o point_n because_o they_o think_v that_o fortune_n must_v be_v follow_v in_o the_o place_n of_o blessedness_n but_o how_o far_o these_o err_v he_o show_v hereby_o that_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o make_v a_o happy_a man_n changeable_a and_o unstable_a like_o the_o chameleon_n which_o must_v needs_o fall_v out_o if_o we_o shall_v follow_v fortune_n in_o the_o which_o there_o be_v no_o constantnes_n nor_o stability_n for_o such_o be_v the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n as_o they_o never_o continue_v in_o one_o state_n fortune_n that_o the_o good_a and_o evil_n of_o man_n stand_v not_o in_o fortune_n moreover_o aristotle_n say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o regard_v fortune_n when_o we_o treat_v of_o felicity_n see_v the_o good_a and_o evil_n of_o man_n be_v not_o place_v therein_o a_o very_a grave_a sentence_n true_o be_v this_o that_o the_o good_a and_o evil_n of_o man_n stand_v not_o in_o casual_a thing_n what_o say_v eustratius_n will_v it_o profit_v to_o have_v any_o be_v at_o all_o if_o to_o be_v happy_a and_o in_o good_a

say_v since_o thou_o say_v that_o felicity_n be_v not_o put_v in_o these_o casual_a good_n of_o man_n why_o do_v we_o desire_v they_o why_o do_v thou_o seek_v those_o thing_n because_o say_v he_o

the_o original_n of_o calamity_n and_o misery_n so_o as_o it_o be_v conclude_v that_o felicity_n be_v not_o of_o fortune_n because_o there_o we_o do_v not_o choose_v or_o deliberate_v of_o those_o

the_o question_n move_v a_o little_a before_o for_o it_o be_v much_o doubt_v of_o this_o whether_o any_o man_n may_v be_v call_v happy_a in_o this_o life_n because_o there_o be_v a_o respect_n have_v to_o the_o alteration_n and_o change_n of_o fortune_n then_o if_o we_o shall_v set_v aside_o fortune_n that_o doubt_n will_v become_v apparent_a so_o that_o the_o philosopher_n be_v move_v to_o determine_v this_o sentence_n to_o wit_n that_o nothing_o may_v seem_v more_o unstable_a than_o fortune_n wherefore_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o solon_n himself_o that_o felicity_n must_v not_o be_v place_v therein_o because_o he_o judge_v that_o in_o any_o wise_a it_o must_v be_v steadfast_a but_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o firm_a and_o constant_a in_o this_o life_n than_o be_v the_o action_n which_o procee_v of_o virtue_n virtue_n that_o nothing_o be_v more_o unstable_a than_o fortune_n nor_o more_o stable_a than_o action_n of_o virtue_n which_o by_o a_o argument_n bring_v of_o comparison_n he_o show_v more_o steadfast_a say_v he_o be_v virtue_n than_o science_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o science_n among_o humane_a thing_n seem_v to_o be_v very_o constant_a the_o

about_o the_o appearance_n of_o a_o assent_n which_o be_v most_o firm_o get_v by_o demonstration_n they_o seem_v among_o humane_a thing_n to_o have_v most_o steadfastness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o science_n because_o that_o science_n break_v not_o out_o so_o often_o into_o their_o action_n as_o virtue_n do_v if_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v in_o

many_o time_n leave_v off_o and_o those_o which_o profess_v the_o mathematical_a science_n while_o they_o leave_v off_o their_o study_n they_o forget_v many_o demonstration_n indeed_o as_o well_o these_o as_o those_o be_v habit_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o habit_n be_v that_o they_o be_v hardly_o abolish_v but_o yet_o those_o habit_n be_v soon_o abolish_v about_o which_o we_o be_v not_o often_o exercise_v both_o sort_n of_o habit_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n may_v by_o discontinuance_n fall_v away_o but_o discontinuance_n can_v not_o happen_v alike_o to_o virtue_n &_o to_o knowlege_n for_o in_o all_o action_n there_o be_v need_n of_o wisdom_n in_o peril_n fortitude_n in_o bargain_v justice_n in_o meat_n drink_n &_o carnal_a pleasure_n temperance_n in_o

virtue_n be_v open_a but_o not_o of_o science_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o may_v soon_o happen_v a_o forgetfulness_n of_o science_n than_o of_o virtue_n for_o science_n oftentimes_o for_o

and_o especial_o chrysostome_n upon_o those_o word_n of_o paul_n unto_o timothy_n one_o mediator_n of_o god_n and_o man_n he_o define_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n because_o of_o both_o his_o nature_n 3_o i_o believe_v that_o christ_n by_o nature_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n man_n that_o christ_n be_v both_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o by_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o as_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o have_v it_o of_o the_o godhead_n but_o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o have_v it_o of_o manhood_n and_o this_o be_v not_o to_o divide_v christ_n for_o we_o embrace_v he_o most_o true_o to_o be_v one_o but_o when_o we_o attribute_v unto_o he_o diverse_a thing_n we_o do_v consider_v the_o reason_n and_o the_o cause_n whereby_o or_o for_o which_o those_o thing_n may_v be_v agreeable_a unto_o he_o therefore_o when_o he_o be_v say_v and_o beléeve_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n according_a to_o nature_n we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o from_o whence_o this_o thing_n may_v come_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n or_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o we_o perceive_v that_o this_o be_v not_o derive_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n see_v that_o nature_n have_v derive_v no_o matter_n or_o essence_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v from_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n but_o the_o

he_o be_v beléeve_v and_o say_v to_o be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v man_n he_o must_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n undoubted_o if_o we_o will_v
