science_n have_v all_o this_o while_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o speculative_a science_n wherein_o i_o think_v a_o young_a man_n have_v special_a need_n to_o be_v instruct_v for_o they_o also_o i_o suppose_v be_v necessary_a to_o happiness_n of_o life_n that_o doubt_v the_o author_n answer_v thus_o say_v i_o virtue_n be_v general_o divide_v into_o speculative_a and_o practic_n or_o we_o may_v say_v into_o intellective_a and_o active_a the_o speculative_a habit_n be_v five_o in_o number_n viz_n understanding_n call_v by_o the_o latin_n intellectus_fw-la science_n wisdom_n art_n and_o prudence_n and_o because_o hitherto_o he_o have_v speak_v only_o how_o man_n in_o civil_a life_n may_v attain_v to_o be_v good_a or_o decline_v from_o be_v evil_n and_o that_o the_o speculative_a science_n declare_v but_o how_o wise_a how_o learned_a or_o how_o prudent_a they_o be_v and_o not_o how_o good_a or_o virtuous_a they_o be_v and_o that_o these_o two_o first_o age_n be_v not_o of_o capacity_n sufficient_a to_o embrace_v they_o therefore_o he_o reserve_v the_o treat_v thereof_o until_o a_o fit_a time_n which_o the_o course_n of_o our_o speech_n will_v lead_v we_o unto_o yea_o but_o aristotle_n say_v quoth_v the_o lord_n primate_n that_o young_a man_n may_v be_v arithmetician_n and_o mathematician_n and_o final_o therein_o wise_a but_o yet_o he_o affirm_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v prudent_a that_o place_n of_o aristotle_n say_v i_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v not_o of_o this_o first_o degree_n of_o youth_n whereof_o the_o author_n have_v speak_v hitherto_o but_o of_o the_o perfection_n and_o ripeness_n that_o in_o time_n it_o may_v attain_v as_o after_o shall_v be_v declare_v when_o time_n do_v serve_v that_o time_n say_v captain_n carlisle_n we_o will_v attend_v but_o because_o we_o see_v both_o virtue_n and_o science_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v and_o that_o i_o have_v hear_v question_n and_o doubt_v make_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o learn_v they_o i_o pray_v let_v we_o here_o whether_o your_o author_n say_v aught_o thereof_o and_o special_o whether_o our_o learning_n be_v but_o a_o rememorate_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v former_o or_o else_o a_o learning_n a_o new_a this_o be_v indeed_o say_v i_o no_o light_n question_v which_o my_o author_n handle_v also_o even_o in_o this_o place_n and_o there_o be_v on_o either_o side_n great_a and_o learned_a author_n as_o plato_n and_o aristotle_n first_o whereof_o the_o one_o be_v account_v the_o god_n of_o philosopher_n and_o the_o other_o the_o master_n of_o all_o learned_a man_n and_o each_o have_v his_o follower_n who_o with_o forcible_a argument_n seek_v to_o defend_v and_o maintain_v the_o part_n of_o their_o master_n and_o captain_n but_o before_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o matter_n you_o must_v understand_v that_o plato_n and_o aristotle_n have_v hold_v a_o several_a way_n each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o teach_n for_o plato_n from_o thing_n eternal_a descend_v to_o mortal_a thing_n and_o thence_o return_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o same_o way_n from_o the_o earth_n to_o heaven_n again_o rather_o affirm_v then_o prove_v what_o he_o teach_v but_o aristotle_n from_o earthly_a thing_n as_o most_o manifest_a to_o our_o sense_n raise_v himself_o climb_v to_o heavenly_a thing_n use_v the_o mean_a of_o that_o knowledge_n which_o the_o sense_n give_v from_o which_o his_o opinion_n be_v that_o all_o humane_a knowledge_n do_v come_v and_o where_o sensible_a reason_n fail_v he_o there_o fail_v his_o proof_n also_o which_o thing_n as_o it_o happen_v to_o he_o in_o divine_a matter_n so_o do_v it_o likewise_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o soul_n intellective_a as_o some_o of_o his_o interpreter_n say_v which_o be_v create_v by_o god_n to_o his_o own_o

out_o of_o they_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o one_o part_n and_o of_o the_o other_o as_o though_o the_o treaty_n of_o a_o matter_n so_o important_a and_o necessary_a to_o our_o knowledge_n be_v as_o schoolman_n say_v a_o matter_n contingent_a about_o which_o argument_n probable_a may_v be_v gather_v on_o both_o side_n yet_o have_v he_o before_o he_o his_o divine_a master_n who_o as_o far_o as_o man_n wit_n can_v stretch_v without_o grace_n have_v teach_v he_o clear_o that_o which_o be_v true_a that_o man_n soul_n be_v by_o nature_n immortal_a and_o partaker_n of_o divinity_n howsoever_o some_o of_o the_o peripatetike_n seem_v out_o of_o aristotle_n to_o affirm_v that_o plato_n be_v contrary_a to_o himself_o as_o make_v the_o soul_n somewhile_o immortal_a and_o otherwhiles_o not_o which_o in_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o plato_n to_o be_v find_v if_o he_o be_v right_o understand_v but_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o opinion_n of_o aristotle_n be_v that_o our_o soul_n do_v not_o only_o not_o record_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o whole_o void_a of_o knowledge_n or_o science_n as_o it_o may_v be_v resemble_v to_o a_o pure_a white_a paper_n and_o therefore_o
