that_o therefore_o whereby_o these_o thing_n be_v wrought_v be_v most_o excellent_a by_o war_n they_o be_v wrought_v ergo_fw-la it_o be_v most_o excellent_a but_o war_v before_o be_v prove_v madness_n therefore_o madness_n be_v most_o excellent_a do_v not_o all_o the_o four_o virtue_n concur_v together_o link_v as_o it_o be_v in_o one_o chain_n whersoever_o therefore_o thou_o find_v fortitude_n think_v also_o that_o there_o concur_v with_o it_o justice_n temperance_n and_o prudence_n now_o if_o war_n lead_v all_o these_o virtue_n as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o string_n as_o certain_o it_o do_v for_o every_o man_n will_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v but_o justice_n to_o revenge_v injury_n fortitude_n then_o execute_v revenge_n wisdom_n subminister_v policy_n to_o revenge_v temperance_n appoint_v measure_n how_o far_o to_o revenge_n then_o follow_v consequent_o that_o madness_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a who_o have_v for_o his_o aid_n so_o many_o virtue_n wherewith_o it_o be_v guard_v but_o here_o some_o curious_a head_n will_v object_n and_o say_v sir_n can_v a_o man_n be_v mad_a and_o modest_a i_o answer_v yea_o aswell_o as_o warrelyke_v and_o valiant_a for_o where_o one_o virtue_n take_v place_n there_o the_o residue_n ensue_v thus_o may_v you_o perceive_v that_o nothing_o let_v madness_n more_o to_o be_v modesty_n than_o valiancy_n in_o battle_n to_o be_v fortitude_n but_o every_o virtue_n be_v in_o his_o own_o nature_n singular_o good_a join_v to_o a_o other_o more_o good_a concur_v altogether_o most_o good_a &_o so_o make_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v wherein_o they_o be_v in_o madness_n they_o be_v as_o i_o have_v prove_v therefore_o madness_n be_v most_o good_a all_o thing_n in_o nature_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o two_o love_n and_o hate_v
