to_o cut_v off_o the_o hearty_a soldier_n first_o of_o all_o mean_v that_o valiant_a man_n be_v the_o causer_n of_o victory_n which_o when_o they_o have_v observe_v obtain_v the_o conquest_n and_o

to_o family_n or_o politic_a which_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o use_v to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o common_a wealth_n have_v such_o efficacy_n that_o nothing_o without_o the_o same_o may_v right_o

of_o the_o just_a 4_o to_o the_o prudent_a it_o be_v more_o pleasant_a to_o hear_v counsel_n mix_v with_o mirth_n then_o to_o the_o foolish_a to_o want_v sport_n mix_v with_o rudeness_n 5_o he_o

virtue_n or_o courage_n of_o the_o mind_n undertake_v any_o peril_n in_o a_o honest_a &_o good_a cause_n also_o it_o be_v define_v of_o some_o to_o be_v a_o fiery_a humour_n of_o the_o spirit_n inflame_v the_o mind_n with_o boldness_n in_o all_o assay_n &_o conduct_v the_o body_n through_o a_o million_o of_o peril_n in_o attempt_v hard_a adventure_n because_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v hard_o for_o a_o valorous_a man_n to_o attempt_v which_o may_v daunt_v &_o abate_v his_o courage_n this_o virtue_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o consist_v of_o the_o mere_a strength_n of_o the_o body_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v term_v fortitude_n because_o there_o be_v many_o man_n that_o have_v stout_a body_n and_o great_a strength_n and_o yet_o coward_n and_o be_v therefore_o call_v natural_a vigour_n or_o else_o fortitude_n otherwise_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o constancy_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o so_o it_o be_v term_v a_o moral_a virtue_n wherefore_o by_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o philosopher_n it_o deserve_v the_o uppermost_a room_n and_o the_o great_a dignity_n among_o moral_a virtue_n for_o two_o consideration_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o primate_n and_o chief_a man_n who_o mind_n attain_v this_o virtue_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o whole_a city_n which_o he_o enjoy_v and_o in_o enjoy_n defend_v her_o territory_n and_o turret_n adventure_v any_o enterprise_n for_o the_o security_n thereof_o the_o property_n of_o this_o virtue_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o despise_v outward_a casualty_n not_o be_v move_v to_o admire_v thereat_o in_o admire_v not_o to_o desire_v or_o wish_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v honest_a hold_v the_o flag_n of_o defiance_n against_o the_o allure_n and_o beck_n of_o fortune_n suffer_v all_o thing_n patient_o if_o any_o thing_n happen_v bitter_a or_o grievous_a which_o be_v a_o token_n of_o a_o invincible_a mind_n as_o cicero_n say_v cicero_n si_fw-la quid_fw-la obtigerit_fw-la aequo_fw-la animo_fw-la paratoque_fw-la morear_n neque_fw-la enim_fw-la turpis_fw-la mors_fw-la forti_fw-la viro_fw-la potest_fw-la accidere_fw-la neque_fw-la immatura_fw-la consulari_fw-la nec_fw-la miserable_fw-la sapienti_fw-la the_o second_o be_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v of_o that_o mind_n and_o courage_n see_v thou_o employ_v thyself_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o difficult_a and_o full_a of_o peril_n which_o may_v as_o well_o conserve_v the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o sundry_a other_o thing_n thereunto_o appertain_v that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o certain_a philosopher_n who_o be_v busy_v touch_v his_o country_n affair_n and_o plead_v truce_n for_o his_o friend_n life_n happen_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o lapse_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o have_v many_o cowardly_a soldier_n who_o regard_v neither_o their_o friend_n life_n nor_o their_o own_o country_n security_n most_o timerous_o fly_v demand_v of_o this_o valiant_a man_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o who_o he_o answer_v that_o they_o shall_v report_v to_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a that_o he_o valiant_o fight_v for_o their_o security_n die_v and_o i_o will_v in_o like_a sort_n report_n to_o the_o dead_a that_o you_o escape_v cowardly_a as_o be_v the_o last_o in_o the_o field_n and_o first_o in_o flight_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o courage_n and_o magnanimity_n be_v daunt_v with_o no_o danger_n and_o yet_o conquer_v
