heavenly_a life_n consist_v in_o this_o science_n because_o that_o for_o felicity_n a_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v good_a and_o perfect_a but_o perfection_n according_a to_o the_o science_n speculative_a do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n absolute_o neither_o good_a nor_o the_o best_a for_o many_o in_o such_o thing_n may_v be_v perfect_a which_o be_v unhonest_a and_o vicious_a a_o man_n unhonest_a and_o full_a of_o vice_n may_v be_v very_o skilful_a and_o perfect_a in_o speculative_a science_n for_o the_o disposition_n to_o felicity_n be_v make_v better_a by_o virtue_n moral_a heroical_a and_o divine_a whereof_o the_o philosopher_n say_v in_o the_o 2._o book_n of_o ethic_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a mere_a beast_n line_n to_o say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v better_o then_o by_o virtue_n heroical_a &_o divine_a even_o as_o homer_n feign_v that_o priamus_n say_v of_o hector_n that_o because_o he_o be_v so_o very_o good_a he_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o of_o a_o god_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o they_o say_v that_o god_n be_v make_v of_o man_n because_o of_o the_o notable_a excellency_n of_o their_o virtue_n then_o such_o like_a habit_n shall_v be_v opposite_a to_o beastliness_n and_o in_o the_o 10._o book_n of_o ethic_n the_o philosopher_n do_v teach_v that_o a_o man_n must_v so_o frame_v his_o work_n and_o his_o life_n that_o all_o be_v direct_v to_o this_o end_n to_o wit_n to_o get_v felicity_n upon_o which_o auerrhois_n say_v if_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v believe_v and_o as_o it_o be_v meet_v he_o shall_v he_o rejoice_v of_o the_o better_a and_o be_v delight_v in_o those_o that_o do_v well_o and_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o a_o worthy_a thing_n that_o he_o do_v well_o unto_o and_o reward_v those_o that_o love_v he_o more_o than_o other_o or_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o honour_v they_o and_o visit_v they_o often_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o one_o friend_n with_o another_o therefore_o must_v we_o do_v our_o endeavour_n to_o become_v good_a this_o be_v thus_o confirm_v first_o that_o then_o those_o man_n that_o give_v themselves_o to_o speculation_n or_o do_v practice_v and_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o speculative_a science_n howsoever_o they_o live_v mortal_o and_o desorm_o virtuous_a shall_v not_o be_v repute_v bless_v and_o happy_a nor_o reward_v for_o their_o merit_n second_o if_o so_o be_v that_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o man_n it_o be_v meet_v and_o most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o his_o delight_n concern_v man_n shall_v be_v of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o best_a in_o they_o and_o which_o be_v most_o know_v unto_o he_o and_o most_o nigh_o and_o agreeable_a unto_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o be_v most_o like_a unto_o god_n which_o be_v to_o live_v virtuous_o according_a to_o the_o understanding_n and_o also_o that_o he_o do_v well_o unto_o and_o reward_v those_o that_o do_v love_v he_o and_o bestow_v benefit_n on_o those_o that_o for_o his_o sake_n do_v cast_v away_o contemn_v and_o neglect_v worldly_a wealth_n and_o delightful_a pleasure_n and_o patient_o sustain_v and_o suffer_v adversity_n and_o willing_o abide_v all_o misery_n even_o unto_o the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n but_o he_o can_v sufficient_o reward_v they_o in_o this_o life_n therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a the_o minor_a be_v plain_a because_o man_n be_v even_o unto_o death_n vex_v with_o misery_n poverty_n and_o adversity_n the_o mayor_n be_v manifest_a by_o the_o philosopher_n in_o the_o ten_o book_n of_o ethic_n say_v seciendum_fw-la intellectum_fw-la autem_fw-la operans_fw-la et_fw-la hunc_fw-la curans_fw-la etc._n etc._n he_o that_o work_v according_a to_o the_o understanding_n and_o care_v for_o it_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o dispose_v and_o to_o love_n god_n most_o for_o if_o the_o god_n have_v a_o certain_a care_n of_o human_a thing_n as_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v it_o shall_v then_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o god_n themselves_o do_v rejoice_v and_o delight_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o best_a and_o the_o nigh_a of_o kin_n unto_o they_o etc._n etc._n also_o it_o be_v thus_o confirm_v because_o if_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v mortal_a and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o life_n after_o this_o then_o infinite_a evil_n shall_v remain_v unpunished_a and_o good_a deed_n shall_v not_o be_v reward_v which_o do_v seem_v derogatory_n to_o the_o equity_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o the_o comeliness_n and_o fairness_n of_o human_a civil_a government_n for_o what_o pain_n punishment_n and_o misery_n do_v here_o happen_v unto_o those_o evil_a man_n who_o be_v give_v to_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n do_v continual_o even_o unto_o their_o death_n heap_v evil_n upon_o evil_n who_o i_o say_v shall_v punish_v and_o take_v vengeance_n of_o those_o king_n and_o prince_n by_o who_o decree_n commandment_n power_n and_o authority_n commonweal_n be_v toss_v &_o turmoil_v shake_v and_o spoil_v by_o so_o many_o plague_n torment_n vexation_n violence_n injury_n and_o adversity_n who_o shall_v in_o this_o life_n be_v sufficient_o able_a to_o punish_v those_o most_o grievous_a sin_n that_o be_v do_v in_o secret_a evil_a mind_n &_o inward_a affection_n what_o punishment_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o and_o misery_n shall_v there_o be_v of_o these_o evil_n which_o if_o it_o be_v call_v the_o privation_n of_o blessedness_n then_o shall_v all_o be_v equal_o punish_v which_o seem_v to_o be_v derogatory_n to_o the_o equity_n of_o justice_n therefore_o it_o seem_v most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v a_o life_n of_o man_n soul_n after_o this_o wherein_o every_o one_o shall_v receive_v worthy_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o this_o life_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n moreover_o if_o man_n soul_n shall_v not_o live_v after_o this_o life_n in_o vain_a then_o and_o to_o no_o purpose_n shall_v we_o serve_v god_n here_o see_v that_o in_o this_o life_n the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v torment_a afflict_a and_o cruciate_v and_o then_o be_v there_o after_o this_o life_n no_o reward_n for_o it_o in_o this_o point_n it_o be_v better_o for_o the_o soul_n and_o more_o profitable_a by_o much_o altogether_o to_o deny_v god_n and_o whole_o to_o give_v itself_o to_o every_o vanity_n &_o pleasure_n then_o to_o live_v holy_o and_o just_o with_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o to_o worship_v the_o creator_n with_o due_a honour_v and_o devotion_n whereof_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinth_n the_o fifteen_o chapter_n say_v if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o hope_v in_o christ_n then_o be_v we_o of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a for_o if_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o worshipper_n where_o be_v his_o power_n see_v that_o neither_o in_o this_o life_n for_o this_o thing_n he_o can_v be_v worse_o neither_o in_o a_o other_o better_o see_v that_o after_o this_o there_o be_v not_o another_o but_o if_o he_o do_v not_o care_n nor_o have_v any_o regard_n where_o be_v his_o wisdom_n &_o his_o goodness_n wherefore_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v ignorant_a not_o to_o know_v or_o not_o to_o love_v his_o lover_n and_o worshipper_n if_o there_o be_v not_o another_o life_n after_o this_o whereof_o the_o one_o destroy_v his_o wisdom_n the_o other_o his_o goodness_n out_o of_o these_o thing_n above_o declare_v be_v very_o easy_o enough_o disproove_v the_o rash_a and_o erroneous_a opinion_n of_o auerrhois_n put_v human_a felicity_n to_o consist_v in_o the_o every_o way_n and_o actual_a conjunction_n or_o copulation_n with_o the_o understanding_n and_o that_o understanding_n he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v but_o one_o of_o all_o man_n that_o all_o man_n have_v but_o one_o understanding_n as_o we_o have_v afore_o say_v for_o he_o say_v that_o man_n be_v then_o happy_a and_o sufficient_o reward_v when_o that_o understanding_n shall_v be_v every_o way_n couple_v unto_o he_o which_o he_o affirm_v to_o be_v do_v when_o a_o man_n shall_v actual_o have_v all_o vnderstandinge_n speculative_a but_o this_o be_v unpossible_a because_o that_o then_o there_o shall_v be_v together_o in_o act_n infinite_o infinite_a thing_n in_o the_o understanding_n moreover_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n in_o ourselves_o that_o the_o attention_n to_o one_o thing_n do_v draw_v back_o again_o the_o perfect_a attention_n about_o another_o thing_n see_v therefore_o the_o understanding_n be_v of_o a_o finite_a virtue_n it_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o be_v couple_v perfect_o and_o actual_o to_o all_o speculation_n who_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v find_v at_o all_o time_n to_o be_v all_o

to_o be_v as_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o part_n be_v corrupt_v as_o the_o part_n be_v corrupt_v because_o they_o be_v extend_v have_v part_n without_o part_n and_o be_v great_a in_o a_o
