by_o some_o great_a man_n that_o have_v signalise_v themselves_o among_o they_o by_o their_o extraordinary_a part_n and_o learning_n and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o ignorance_n reign_v among_o they_o

restriction_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o traveller_n be_v very_o often_o prepossess_v with_o the_o learning_n of_o some_o person_n before_o they_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o it_o and_o be_v sometime_o strong_o carry_v to_o proclaim_v they_o vast_a scholar_n because_o they_o have_v do_v they_o some_o service_n or_o have_v express_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o civility_n to_o they_o on_o their_o voyage_n i_o know_v at_o bononia_n a_o person_n of_o mean_a learning_n and_o part_n who_o compel_v a_o stranger_n to_o go_v and_o spend_v eight_o day_n at_o his_o

this_o stranger_n say_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o publish_v his_o voyage_n of_o italy_n his_o son_n have_v demand_v of_o he_o why_o contrary_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o country_n he_o will_v put_v himself_o to_o so_o great_a charge_n in_o treat_v of_o a_o person_n who_o be_v a_o perfect_a stranger_n to_o he_o the_o father_n answer_v that_o what_o he_o do_v be_v not_o without_o reason_n forasmuch_o as_o that_o honest_a man_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o rank_a his_o name_n among_o the_o learned_a man_n of_o italy_n in_o the_o book_n of_o his_o travel_n he_o intend_v to_o publish_v it_o be_v not_o of_o to_o day_n only_o that_o the_o italian_n be_v accuse_v for_o be_v liberal_a in_o nothing_o but_o ceremony_n and_o compliment_n and_o extreme_o cautelous_a and_o reserve_v about_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v engage_v they_o in_o any_o particular_a expense_n but_o yet_o if_o a_o man_n will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o comport_v with_o they_o in_o their_o humour_n and_o more_o especial_o flatter_v they_o in_o the_o vain_a ambition_n they_o have_v though_o very_o ignorant_a to_o pass_v for_o learned_a man_n a_o man_n may_v draw_v from_o they_o what_o he_o please_v himself_o a_o second_o reason_n why_o i_o will_v not_o always_o take_v the_o praise_n that_o traveller_n bestow_v according_a to_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o letter_n be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v many_o italian_n who_o practice_n that_o which_o may_v be_v call_v the_o art_n of_o be_v esteem_v learned_a at_o a_o cheap_a rate_n this_o art_n consist_v in_o choose_v out_o some_o

they_o and_o till_o they_o find_v themselves_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o resolve_v all_o the_o doubt_n that_o can_v be_v object_v against_o they_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o authority_n care_n be_v take_v to_o get_v the_o most_o considerable_a by_o heart_n and_o if_o it_o depend_v more_o upon_o experience_n they_o endeavour_v to_o exercise_v themselves_o therein_o until_o the_o manage_n of_o it_o be_v make_v easy_a to_o they_o and_o they_o have_v get_v the_o perfect_a command_n of_o it_o and_o after_o all_o say_v
the_o italian_n that_o man_n be_v a_o great_a blockhead_n who_o can_v insensible_o make_v the_o conversation_n he_o be_v engage_v in_o to_o fall_v upon_o the_o point_n he_o be_v most_o verse_v in_o and_o the_o more_o dexterous_o he_o can_v do_v this_o the_o more_o he_o make_v himself_o to_o be_v admire_v but_o yet_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n let_v they_o carry_v it_o as_o cunning_o as_o they_o can_v they_o be_v still_o discover_v soon_o or_o late_a by_o those_o that_o frequent_a their_o company_n for_o any_o time_n but_o traveller_n indeed_o who_o only_o pass_v by_o and_o be_v go_v may_v easy_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o this_o method_n and_o be_v apt_a to_o believe_v they_o equal_o able_a in_o all_o other_o part_n i_o know_v many_o learned_a man_n of_o this_o stamp_n there_o be_v one_o at_o venice_n who_o we_o call_v physical_a predetermination_n another_o copernicus_n his_o systeme_n another_o the_o world_n in_o the_o moon_n and_o many_o other_o upon_o who_o we_o bestow_v

be_v not_o necessary_a to_o draw_v near_o to_o understand_v what_o they_o say_v for_o that_o may_v be_v see_v from_o far_o by_o their_o action_n and_o gesture_n of_o their_o arm_n and_o hand_n as_o the_o italian_n use_v to_o do_v who_o be_v please_v to_o signalise_v themselves_o this_o way_n this_o be_v that_o i_o call_v the_o art_n of_o gain_v the_o repute_n of_o learning_n at_o a_o easy_a rate_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o make_v use_v of_o this_o method_n there_o be_v some_o to_o be_v find_v that_o be_v learned_a indeed_o and_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o we_o meet_v with_o man_n there_o that_o be_v very_o able_a in_o all_o kind_n of_o profession_n and_o what_o i_o have_v before_o allege_v be_v only_o to_o show_v that_o traveller_n may_v sometime_o be_v deceive_v in_o they_o i_o shall_v add_v one_o remark_n more_o i_o have_v make_v concern_v these_o learned_a man_n which_o be_v that_o we_o do_v indeed_o find_v some_o of_o they_o that_o excel_v in_o the_o civil_a and_o canon_n law_n other_o in_o physic_n in_o chemistry_n in_o history_n some_o few_o in_o the_o mathematics_n etc._n etc._n but_o withal_o that_o it_o be_v a_o

full_a of_o priest_n as_o italy_n be_v the_o reason_n whereof_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v ever_o penetrate_v be_v that_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o study_n be_v neither_o favour_v by_o the_o great_a

in_o the_o court_n of_o italian_a prince_n because_o of_o the_o difficulty_n there_o be_v in_o become_a master_n of_o they_o and_o for_o the_o small_a use_n according_a to_o their_o conceit_n they_o be_v of_o in_o the_o world_n after_o one_o with_o great_a praise_n have_v attain_v some_o competent_a skill_n in_o they_o as_o for_o divinity_n that_o seem_v yet_o more_o useless_a to_o they_o than_o

be_v once_o canvas_v in_o the_o university_n of_o paris_n concern_v the_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o continue_v there_o visible_a after_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o substance_n to_o which_o they_o belong_v into_o that_o of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o which_o be_v call_v the_o sacramental_a species_n or_o kind_n saint_n thomas_n to_o who_o they_o have_v all_o refer_v themselves_o write_v to_o they_o his_o thought_n of_o this_o question_n upon_o a_o paper_n which_o he_o lay_v upon_o the_o altar_n and_o have_v his_o eye_n and_o heart_n fix_v upon_o a_o crucifix_n which_o be_v there_o he_o beseech_v he_o most_o earnest_o that_o if_o he_o have_v write_v the_o truth_n he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o do_v he_o the_o favour_n to_o tell_v it_o he_o and_o if_o not_o that_o he_o will_v please_v to_o stop_v and_o hinder_v it_o and_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o great_a fervour_n of_o his_o prayer_n jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o visible_o unto_o he_o upon_o the_o altar_n and_o say_v to_o he_o you_o have_v write_v this_o well_o thomas_n the_o saint_n continue_v his_o prayer_n be_v prostrate_a on_o the_o ground_n his_o body_n be_v lift_v

the_o office_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n which_o they_o sing_v on_o the_o day_n of_o the_o most_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v then_o in_o the_o city_n of_o orvieto_fw-la a_o crucifix_n speak_v to_o

what_o will_v thou_o that_o i_o give_v thou_o for_o thy_o reward_n thus_o far_o be_v the_o word_n of_o ribadeneira_n the_o jesuit_n in_o his_o legend_n which_o be_v so_o high_o approve_v by_o the_o

have_v recourse_n to_o so_o many_o crucifix_n to_o be_v confirm_v and_o assure_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o open_a tempt_a of_o god_n as_o it_o will_v sure_o be_v if_o at_o present_a we_o shall_v desire_v miracle_n of_o he_o to_o prove_v to_o we_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o s._n thomas_n doubt_v of_o this_o matter_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v convince_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o solid_o ratify_v in_o the_o gospel_n or_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o s._n paul_n or_o at_o least_o can_v not_o be_v deduce_v thence_o as_o natural_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n wherefore_o then_o do_v he_o say_v in_o his_o prose_n animosa_fw-la firmat_n fides_n that_o faith_n confirm_v these_o matter_n man_n have_v begin_v in_o these_o latter_a age_n to_o recover_v a_o little_a from_o these_o apparition_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o these_o speak_a crucifix_n but_o thomas_n aquinas_n have_v wit_n enough_o at_o that_o time_n to_o discern_v that_o his_o novel_a doctrine_n do_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o proof_n true_a it_o be_v also_o that_o probable_o he_o may_v have_v imagine_v it_o for_o his_o

he_o who_o have_v compose_v his_o encomium_n he_o be_v so_o ecstatical_a and_o so_o insensible_a that_o he_o seem_v rather_o a_o statue_n than_o a_o man._n insomuch_o that_o whilst_o he_o be_v a_o

he_o be_v in_o his_o master_n presence_n i_o do_v pretend_v by_o all_o this_o to_o imply_v that_o thomas_n aquinas_n be_v a_o fool_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n do_v affirm_v that_o he_o have_v a_o
