forsake_v so_o great_a hope_n for_o so_o small_a a_o pleasure_n except_o we_o will_v sustain_v reproach_n and_o abide_v blame_v not_o here_o among_o man_n although_o that_o be_v also_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o under_o the_o earth_n or_o else_o where_o when_o the_o last_o judgement_n be_v make_v and_o he_o that_o of_o ignorance_n offend_v may_v hap_n find_v some_o pardon_n of_o god_n but_o he_o that_o do_v evyll_n of_o purpose_n have_v none_o excuse_v but_o must_v needs_o suffer_v great_a and_o diverse_a punishment_n ¶_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o use_v the_o body_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v than_o will_v some_o man_n say_v what_o else_o but_o have_v regard_n of_o our_o soul_n all_o other_o thing_n set_v apart_o we_o may_v not_o serve_v the_o body_n further_a than_o necessity_n but_o the_o soul_n we_o must_v noryshe_v with_o all_o good_a food_n and_o delyver_v she_o out_o of_o prison_n and_o the_o fetter_n of_o affection_n by_o the_o help_n of_o philosophy_n the_o body_n must_v be_v so_o use_v as_o it_o may_v endure_v and_o subdue_v passion_n and_o the_o belly_n must_v be_v serve_v not_o for_o pleasure_n but_o for_o sustenance_n for_o they_o that_o have_v there_o delight_v only_o in_o banquete_n &_o fe_v seek_v all_o the_o earth_n and_o sea_n to_o satisfy_v there_o appetide_v be_v burden_v w_n to_o a_o miserable_a bondage_n pa_v a_o tribute_n to_o a_o sharp_a lord_n in_o no_o less_o pain_n than_o they_o that_o be_v torment_v in_o hell_n some_o to_o cut_v the_o fire_n some_o to_o bear_v water_n in_o a_o sieve_n and_o so_o to_o fill_v a_o botomeles_a tub_n with_o out_o any_o end_n of_o their_o labour_n to_o be_v curious_a in_o our_o hair_n or_o to_o make_v much_o a_o do_v about_o our_o garment_n be_v the_o part_n of_o they_o that_o be_v miser_n or_o mischevous_a as_o diogenes_n say_v wherefore_o to_o be_v trim_a in_o apparel_n be_v as_o evil_a as_o to_o be_v dissolute_a or_o adulterous_a what_o difference_n be_v there_o to_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o be_v a_o fine_a gown_n or_o a_o course_n cloak_n so_o the_o body_n be_v defend_v from_o hete_n and_o cold_a and_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v more_o precise_a than_o need_v not_o to_o puff_n up_o the_o body_n but_o for_o the_o commodity_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v nos_fw-la less_o shame_n to_o he_o that_o worthelye_o have_v the_o name_n of_o a_o man_n to_o be_v to_o careful_a about_o his_o body_n than_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o any_o vice_n out_o of_o kind_n therefore_o to_o bestow_v all_o our_o study_n upon_o the_o garnish_n of_o our_o body_n be_v the_o part_n of_o he_o that_o know_v not_o himself_o nor_o do_v not_o understand_v thaduertisment_n of_o the_o wise_a man_n that_o say_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v be_v not_o the_o man_n but_o a_o great_a wisdom_n be_v nedful_a to_o we_o to_o know_v what_o we_o be_v pleasure_n must_v be_v eschew_v but_o it_o be_v more_o impossible_a to_o do_v this_o without_o a_o clear_a mind_n than_o to_o behold_v the_o son_n with_o blere_a eye_n the_o cleanse_v of_o the_o soul_n to_o speak_v it_o brief_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o despise_v the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o sense_n as_o the_o eye_n may_v not_o be_v feed_v with_o vain_a syght_n or_o such_o show_v as_o leave_v a_o provocation_n of_o pleasur_n neither_o may_v the_o ear_n be_v entyse_v with_o such_o melody_n as_o corrupt_v our_o mind_n for_o of_o such_o musyck_n wantonness_n procee_v we_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o music_n that_o david_n the_o poet_n of_o holy_a verse_n use_v to_o deliver_v king_n saul_n from_o his_o madness_n pythagoras_n chance_v to_o see_v a_o company_n of_o young_a man_n ren_a about_o the_o town_n like_o drunkard_n he_o bid_v the_o minstrel_n to_o change_v his_o music_n and_o play_v the_o sad_a measure_n call_v dorical_a which_o do_v so_o restore_v they_o to_o their_o understanding_n as_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o folly_n and_o throw_v away_o their_o garland_n and_o their_o drunken_a garment_n this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o teach_v we_o that_o great_a respect_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o music_n that_o we_o here_o wherefore_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o music_n that_o be_v now_o in_o use_n as_o of_o a_o thing_n of_o great_a fylthines_n as_o for_o savoure_n or_o smell_n or_o anoyntmente_n what_o shall_v i_o need_v to_o speak_v and_o as_o for_o pleasure_n by_o touch_v and_o gesture_n no_o man_n need_n to_o doubt_n but_o if_o we_o be_v well_o ware_a of_o they_o they_o will_v compel_v we_o to_o be_v slave_n to_o the_o body_n as_o brute_n beast_n ¶_o the_o body_n must_v be_v subdue_v to_o reason_n final_o the_o body_n must_v be_v utter_o subdue_v except_o we_o will_v be_v drown_v in_o the_o gore_n of_o pleasure_n and_o so_o much_o only_o we_o may_v make_v of_o it_o as_o it_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o ministry_n of_o philosophy_n as_o plato_n say_v and_o s._n paul_n in_o effect_n have_v y_o e_o same_o word_n when_o he_o bid_v that_o no_o care_n shall_v be_v have_v of_o the_o body_n for_o to_o provoke_v pleasure_n for_o they_o y_fw-fr e_o set_v their_o hole_n care_n upon_o the_o body_n and_o do_v neglect_v the_o soul_n who_o it_o ought_v to_o serve_v differ_v nothing_o from_o they_o that_o with_o great_a diligence_n seek_v for_o goodly_a toll_n and_o care_v not_o for_o y_z e_z art_n wherefore_o they_o be_v make_v we_o must_v do_v the_o contrary_a and_o keep_v down_o y_o e_o body_n as_o the_o fury_n of_o a_o wild_a beast_n and_o pull_v in_o the_o sturdy_a head_n with_o the_o bridle_n of_o reason_n which_o we_o may_v not_o let_v go_v at_o large_a lest_o the_o mind_n be_v draw_v headlong_o hither_o and_o thither_o as_o the_o cart_n dryver_n be_v pull_v away_o with_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o wild_a horse_n we_o must_v remember_v pythagoras_n who_o when_o he_o see_v one_o of_o his_o acquaintance_n pamper_v his_o body_n with_o wanton_a fare_n he_o say_v this_o man_n go_v about_o to_o make_v his_o prison_n more_o heavy_a which_o inconvenience_n plato_n forse_v change_v the_o place_n of_o study_n that_o the_o high_a complexion_n of_o his_o body_n may_v be_v cut_v of_o as_o a_o vine_n to_o lusty_a and_o i_o have_v hard_a physician_n say_v that_o to_o much_o health_n be_v dangerous_a see_v therefore_o that_o to_o much_o feadinge_n be_v peryllous_a for_o the_o body_n and_o hyndraunce_n to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v very_a madness_n to_o bestow_v inordinate_a labour_n about_o it_o ¶_o riches_n may_v not_o be_v desire_v if_o the_o body_n be_v contemn_v and_o pleasure_n despyse_v what_o need_n have_v we_o of_o riches_n true_o i_o see_v none_o except_o some_o man_n have_v delyte_n to_o watch_v and_o keep_v his_o money_n hide_v as_o the_o fable_n make_v mention_n of_o serpent_n he_o that_o know_v well_o to_o despise_v these_o shall_v utter_o abhor_v from_o all_o dyshonesty_n both_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n and_o all_o that_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a he_o will_v hate_v it_o whatsoever_o pretence_n it_o have_v for_o sufficiencye_n be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v by_o pleasure_n but_o by_o necessite_a for_o they_o that_o go_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o necessite_n be_v like_a to_o they_o that_o fall_v headelonge_v and_o can_v find_v no_o foting_a to_o stay_v but_o the_o more_o they_o have_v the_o more_o they_o desire_v to_o satisfy_v their_o lust_n and_o pleasure_n according_a to_o that_o solon_n say_v affection_n man_n mind_n do_v so_o blind_a that_o of_o riches_n no_o stay_n they_o can_v find_v and_o the_o lesson_n of_o theogius_n we_o ought_v to_o follow_v i_o do_v not_o regard_v nor_o require_v riches_n content_a with_o a_o little_a to_o avoid_v distress_n i_o can_v not_o but_o with_o good_a will_v remember_v the_o say_n of_o diogenes_n that_o despise_v all_o worldly_a thing_n and_o yet_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v more_o scotfree_a than_o the_o most_o mighty_a king_n because_o a_o little_a serve_v he_o and_o we_o except_o we_o have_v so_o many_o talente_v as_o pythias_n and_o so_o many_o acre_n of_o land_n as_o we_o can_v not_o well_o number_n and_o so_o much_o cattle_n as_o can_v not_o be_v tell_v we_o be_v not_o content_a my_o opinion_n be_v that_o we_o neither_o ought_v to_o desire_v riches_n when_o we_o have_v they_o not_o nor_o to_o glory_n in_o they_o when_o we_o have_v they_o except_o we_o know_v how_o to_o use_v they_o socrates_n speak_v well_o of_o a_o rich_a man_n that_o avaunce_v himself_o for_o his_o riches_n i_o will_v not_o quoth_v he_o esteem_v the_o except_o i_o know_v how_o thou_o canst_v use_v thy_o
