do_v define_v be_v a_o virtue_n indeed_o &_o yet_o differ_v from_o the_o divine_a fortitude_n as_o otherwise_o the_o distribution_n be_v frivolous_a then_o be_v there_o two_o fortitude_n may_n some_o say_v which_o seem_v very_o absurd_a be_v there_o two_o kind_n of_o purity_n or_o two_o kind_n of_o virtue_n if_o not_o how_o two_o kind_n of_o fortitude_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o fortitude_n be_v simple_o consider_v in_o herself_o be_v but_o one_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o estate_n in_o which_o we_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o way_n whereby_o we_o come_v unto_o it_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v double_a let_v not_o this_o seem_v strange_a that_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v simple_a in_o itself_o may_v for_o some_o respect_n become_v as_o double_v for_o we_o know_v there_o be_v but_o one_o righteousness_n be_v simple_o consider_v in_o itself_o and_o yet_o the_o holy_a apostle_n say_v there_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o set_v they_o as_o opposite_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o purity_n which_o the_o law_n require_v as_o the_o same_o apostle_n teach_v when_o he_o say_v that_o by_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o us._n rom._n 8._o verse_n 4._o the_o law_n require_v it_o if_o man_n can_v of_o themselves_o fulfil_v it_o as_o adam_n and_o eve_n do_v before_o their_o fall_n it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n but_o now_o because_o they_o can_v be_v hold_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o sin_n we_o obtain_v it_o only_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n 1._o cor._n 1._o ver_fw-la 30._o and_o it_o be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n so_o now_o be_v it_o touch_v fortitude_n the_o law_n require_v it_o and_o if_o man_n can_v by_o the_o natural_a power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o mind_n attain_v unto_o it_o them_z may_v it_o be_v call_v humane_a fortitude_n but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o power_n in_o man_n and_o the_o virtue_n come_v by_o a_o free_a gift_n in_o christ_n we_o may_v call_v it_o divine_a fortitude_n and_o so_o the_o division_n of_o fortitude_n into_o humane_a and_o divine_a be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v of_o all_o that_o covet_v to_o climb_v up_o unto_o she_o 10._o thus_o may_v we_o see_v both_o the_o wrong_a way_n and_o the_o right_n they_o that_o will_v be_v reckon_v among_o the_o woorthies_n and_o labour_n to_o attain_v thereto_o by_o their_o own_o might_n have_v nothing_o to_o lift_v up_o themselves_o withal_o but_o humane_a lust_n because_o nature_n have_v nothing_o pure_a they_o mount_v up_o on_o high_a with_o the_o wing_n of_o pride_n of_o vainglory_n of_o ambition_n of_o covetousness_n and_o self-love_n and_o there_o be_v some_o which_o if_o they_o can_v attain_v unto_o that_o desperate_a bold_a nesse_n as_o to_o become_v resolute_a not_o to_o fear_v god_n nor_o man_n as_o they_o say_v nor_o the_o devil_n they_o think_v themselves_o brave_a man_n and_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v among_o the_o chief_a woorthies_n they_o do_v all_o in_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o man_n which_o work_v nothing_o that_o be_v pure_a on_o the_o contrary_a part_n such_o as_o take_v the_o right_a way_n be_v cast_v down_o in_o humility_n in_o meekness_n in_o fear_n and_o long_o suffer_v yea_o they_o be_v even_o empty_v of_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o seem_v excellent_a in_o man_n &_o whereby_o man_n be_v usual_o puff_v up_o that_o they_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o gift_n and_o grace_n from_o god_n they_o mount_v up_o aloft_o indeed_o yea_o very_a high_a but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o power_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o that_o noble_a king_n david_n glori_v that_o the_o lord_n make_v he_o strong_a &_o valiant_a yea_o so_o valiant_a as_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a as_o he_o say_v what_o man_n can_v do_v unto_o he_o he_o tell_v that_o huge_a giant_n goliath_n that_o he_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o that_o name_n he_o cast_v he_o down_o and_o cut_v off_o his_o head_n unto_o this_o belong_v the_o say_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o that_o exalt_v himself_o shall_v be_v abase_v and_o he_o that_o humble_v himself_o shall_v be_v exalt_v how_o contrary_a be_v it_o unto_o man_n wisdom_n or_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o flesh_n &_o blood_n that_o the_o right_n and_o only_a way_n unto_o fortitude_n shall_v be_v in_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n in_o meekness_n and_o in_o long_o suffer_v he_o seem_v to_o be_v valiant_a that_o be_v haughty_a stout_a fierce_a and_o full_a of_o revenge_n that_o do_v all_o with_o sturdy_a and_o boisterous_a roughness_n but_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v more_o particular_o in_o handle_v the_o nature_n of_o fortitude_n which_o now_o we_o come_v unto_o 11._o a_o perfect_a definition_n do_v perfect_o set_v forth_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o every_o thing_n define_v for_o it_o consist_v of_o the_o essential_a cause_n but_o such_o definition_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o most_o thing_n and_o so_o to_o define_v fortitude_n be_v very_o hard_a neither_o will_v i_o take_v it_o in_o hand_n it_o shall_v suffiise_v to_o set_v forth_o some_o chief_a property_n and_o effect_n thereof_o and_o herein_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o set_v down_o some_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o gentile_n do_v teach_v right_o concern_v this_o virtue_n for_o they_o have_v certain_a principle_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v build_v which_o indeed_o be_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v as_o first_o that_o the_o true_a fortitude_n be_v never_o void_a of_o honesty_n and_o justice_n nor_o can_v never_o be_v separate_v from_o they_o for_o how_o can_v that_o be_v a_o virtue_n which_o be_v unhonest_a unjust_a or_o impure_a hereupon_o they_o do_v infer_v that_o the_o loftiness_n of_o mind_n which_o utter_v itself_o in_o danger_n and_o labour_n be_v not_o a_o virtue_n but_o a_o vice_n if_o it_o be_v void_a of_o uprightness_n as_o not_o fight_v for_o the_o common_a safety_n but_o private_a commodity_n they_o account_v it_o the_o right_a definition_n which_o for_o the_o essential_a form_n have_v the_o final_a cause_n as_o namely_o that_o fortitude_n be_v virtus_fw-la pugnans_fw-la pro_fw-la aequitate_fw-la a_o virtue_n that_o fight_v for_o equity_n if_o any_o man_n be_v hardy_a and_o full_a of_o stout_a courage_n to_o cast_v himself_o into_o peril_n lead_v thereunto_o by_o his_o lust_n and_o not_o for_o the_o common_a profit_n that_o be_v to_o a_o wrong_a end_n and_o they_o say_v his_o courage_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v call_v a_o audacious_a boldness_n than_o fortitude_n and_o they_o hold_v he_o as_o lead_v by_o his_o lust_n which_o will_v attempt_v to_o do_v great_a thing_n to_o get_v praise_n and_o fame_n to_o get_v riches_n and_o dominion_n after_o these_o thing_n indeed_o do_v the_o hart_n of_o man_n lust_n through_o self-love_n pride_n and_o vain_a glory_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o call_v a_o man_n own_o commodity_n the_o high_a that_o a_o man_n mind_n be_v lift_v up_o by_o these_o into_o hardy_a boldness_n the_o further_o they_o say_v he_o be_v carry_v from_o virtue_n into_o immanity_n or_o savage_a cruelty_n that_o expel_v all_o humanity_n here_o may_v we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a heathen_a even_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o outward_o do_v seem_v beautiful_a admirable_a &_o glorious_a as_o the_o act_n of_o virtuous_a man_n be_v foul_a deform_a and_o detestable_a if_o they_o do_v spring_n from_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n for_o how_o can_v that_o fruit_n be_v sweet_a what_o good_a colour_n soever_o it_o have_v which_o spring_v from_o a_o bitter_a root_n and_o what_o be_v more_o bitter_a than_o pride_n ambition_n self-love_n covetousness_n wrath_n and_o such_o like_a 12._o but_o we_o must_v now_o ascend_v up_o high_o than_o the_o gentile_n do_v touch_v the_o final_a cause_n of_o the_o action_n of_o fortitude_n they_o will_v have_v magnanimity_n to_o refer_v all_o to_o the_o common_a good_a &_o to_o be_v join_v with_o simplicity_n and_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v well_o but_o this_o be_v dark_a unto_o they_o that_o
