obstinate_a therein_o it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o further_a degree_n remote_a from_o nature_n and_o reason_n which_o excite_v we_o to_o nothing_o more_o than_o to_o the_o willing_a desire_n and_o diligent_a inquisition_n search_n and_o enjoyance_n of_o pleasure_n and_o happiness_n and_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v so_o many_o thousand_o delight_n on_o earth_n to_o please_v all_o our_o sense_n which_o we_o may_v enjoy_v yea_o we_o may_v enjoy_v such_o and_o so_o many_o heavenly_a pleasure_n even_o on_o earth_n as_o true_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a and_o divine_a enough_o will_v fill_v our_o mind_n with_o such_o joy_n and_o happiness_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v evermore_o as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v unexpressable_o pleasant_a &_o joyful_a we_o shall_v as_o far_o as_o our_o mind_n be_v capaple_n enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o earth_n and_o heaven_n within_o we_o but_o of_o these_o more_o in_o the_o ensue_a division_n to_o conclude_v then_o in_o general_n let_v we_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o drive_v away_o and_o banish_v out_o of_o our_o mind_n all_o evil_a passion_n and_o perturbation_n all_o sloth_n laziness_n dullness_n sottishness_n and_o base_a mindedness_n all_o intemperate_a riotous_a dissolute_a pleasure_n and_o self-conceited_a vainglorious_a disposition_n all_o pride_n ambition_n choler_n anger_n and_o rashness_n all_o melancholy_a covetousness_n fear_v sorrow_n and_o sadness_n all_o envy_n hatred_n malice_n revenge_n cruelty_n sullenness_n obstinacy_n and_o desperation_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v possible_o let_v we_o possess_v our_o mind_n with_o liveliness_n quickness_n perspicacity_n and_o gallantness_n of_o spirit_n with_o moderation_n temperance_n humility_n meekness_n tranquillity_n mildness_n with_o contentation_n fortitude_n cheerfulness_n with_o humanity_n affability_n love_n kindness_n and_o with_o all_o joy_n and_o happiness_n i_o think_v if_o we_o can_v true_o consider_v and_o think_v of_o the_o many_o and_o divers_a sort_n of_o delightful_a felicity_n both_o earthly_a and_o heavenly_a which_o we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v our_o mind_n immediate_o leap_v out_o of_o all_o ill_a passion_n and_o perturbation_n into_o most_o sweet_a peace_n joy_n mirth_n liveliness_n and_o pleasure_n so_o as_o to_o enjoy_v even_o a_o paradise_n of_o delight_n and_o happiness_n within_o we_o there_o be_v so_o many_o pleasure_n which_o we_o may_v aswell_o terrestrial_a as_o divine_a enjoy_v that_o who_o enjoy_v all_o such_o felicity_n enjoy_v a_o earthly_a heavenly_a paradise_n the_o ix_o division_n that_o by_o virtue_n the_o mind_n become_v apt_a and_o well_o prepare_v to_o enjoy_v the_o choice_a and_o sweet_a felicity_n on_o earth_n so_o then_o have_v brief_o endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o felicity_n of_o a_o virtuous_a mind_n the_o way_n to_o gain_v the_o same_o to_o eschew_v such_o malady_n distemper_n passion_n and_o perturbation_n as_o hinder_v this_o happiness_n also_o to_o embrace_v such_o amiable_a and_o delightful_a virtue_n as_o may_v increase_v the_o same_o now_o let_v we_o also_o further_o and_o more_o plain_o view_v how_o that_o by_o virtue_n our_o mind_n become_v most_o apt_a and_o well_o dispose_v to_o enjoy_v the_o felicity_n of_o earth_n and_o heaven_n and_o first_o concern_v earthly_a felicity_n to_o instance_n brief_o and_o to_o begin_v with_o riches_n and_o honour_n first_o no_o man_n on_o earth_n be_v more_o like_a to_o attain_v riches_n and_o honour_n then_o virtuous_a man_n by_o reason_n their_o mind_n be_v free_a from_o sloth_n dulness_n carelessness_n intemperance_n riot_n and_o such_o dissolute_a course_n as_o usual_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o dishonour_n and_o of_o decline_v in_o estate_n and_o fortune_n and_o no_o man_n live_v be_v more_o likely_a to_o gain_v riches_n and_o honour_n then_o the_o industrious_a diligent_a temperate_a frugal_a unpassionate_a courteous_a affable_a and_o every_o way_n virtuous_a man_n second_o no_o man_n do_v enjoy_v more_o felicity_n therein_o then_o virtuous_a man_n for_o why_o by_o reason_n their_o mind_n be_v active_a perspicuous_a free_a and_o fill_v with_o the_o delight_n and_o felicity_n of_o virtue_n the_o same_o become_v well_o prepare_v to_o enjoy_v these_o earthly_a treasure_n and_o felicity_n and_o we_o know_v that_o a_o free_a and_o cheerful_a mind_n enjoy_v all_o thing_n with_o far_o great_a happiness_n than_o a_o dull_a sottish_a turbulent_a vicious_a passionate_a discontent_a mind_n yea_o which_o seem_v a_o paradox_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o even_o covetous_a and_o ambitious_a man_n take_v not_o so_o much_o pleasure_n in_o riches_n and_o honour_n which_o they_o so_o much_o esteem_v as_o the_o content_a virtuous_a man_n for_o covetousness_n and_o ambition_n do_v not_o only_o blind_a and_o draw_v away_o the_o mind_n from_o all_o the_o choice_a earthly_a pleasure_n yea_o and_o heavenly_a also_o but_o which_o be_v most_o strange_a even_o from_o the_o pleasure_n which_o otherwise_o they_o may_v enjoy_v in_o riches_n and_o honour_n for_o covetous_a and_o ambitious_a man_n regard_v not_o so_o much_o what_o what_o felicity_n they_o may_v derive_v from_o that_o which_o they_o possess_v but_o still_o think_v how_o well_o they_o shall_v be_v if_o they_o have_v some_o great_a matter_n which_o they_o have_v not_o the_o want_n whereof_o almost_o continual_o vex_v they_o for_o covetousness_n and_o ambition_n be_v unsatiable_a desire_n they_o regard_v not_o so_o much_o what_o they_o have_v as_o vex_v and_o perplex_v themselves_o for_o what_o they_o have_v not_o still_o think_v they_o want_v although_o they_o possess_v abundance_n the_o care_n which_o they_o take_v in_o get_v and_o keep_v and_o the_o fear_n and_o grief_n of_o cross_n of_o lose_v and_o part_v from_o what_o they_o have_v do_v almost_o continual_o perplex_v they_o so_o as_o even_o riches_n and_o honour_n to_o covetous_a ambitious_a man_n seem_v to_o be_v rather_o a_o burden_n a_o grief_n than_o a_o pleasure_n to_o they_o but_o the_o content_a virtuous_a man_n although_o he_o be_v but_o of_o low_a degree_n and_o possess_v but_o a_o mean_a estate_n yet_o he_o enjoy_v far_o more_o happiness_n therein_o than_o the_o other_o in_o abundance_n he_o it_o be_v who_o free_a cheerful_a and_o happy_a mind_n most_o sweet_o enjoy_v within_o itself_o the_o choice_a felicity_n that_o may_v be_v derive_v from_o riches_n and_o honour_n so_o also_o of_o pleasure_n virtuous_a man_n their_o free_a and_o happy_a mind_n be_v most_o apt_a and_o well_o prepare_v to_o enjoy_v the_o sweet_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n on_o earth_n they_o enjoy_v much_o more_o pleasure_n in_o a_o little_a of_o these_o earthly_a felicity_n then_o vicious_a man_n in_o abundance_n and_o variety_n who_o be_v seldom_o satisfy_v or_o content_v for_o if_o they_o shall_v glut_v themselves_o with_o all_o sort_n of_o earthly_a pleasure_n yet_o will_v they_o still_o be_v gape_v after_o and_o unsatiable_o wish_v for_o new_a contentment_n and_o if_o they_o do_v enjoy_v their_o gluttonous_a intemperate_a luxurious_a pleasure_n to_o the_o full_a yet_o soon_o after_o they_o remain_v more_o melancholy_a and_o discontent_a then_o monk_n for_o all_o vicious_a pleasure_n most_o certain_o will_v end_v in_o sadness_n discontent_a shame_n and_o misery_n but_o virtue_n teach_v we_o to_o be_v sweet_o please_v yea_o even_o with_o a_o little_a according_a to_o nature_n reason_n and_o moderation_n and_o give_v such_o a_o free_a and_o happy_a mind_n to_o the_o follower_n thereof_o as_o they_o enjoy_v all_o earthly_a good_a pleasure_n with_o much_o great_a delight_n then_o vicious_a man_n &_o with_o contentment_n virtuous_a man_n do_v far_o more_o sweet_o in_o their_o mind_n contemplate_v all_o good_a pleasure_n then_o vicious_a man_n and_o so_o more_o delightful_o enjoy_v they_o for_o why_o slothful_a dull_a heavy_a passionate_a distemper_a vicious_a mind_n do_v not_o imagine_v conceive_v nor_o enjoy_v nigh_o so_o much_o pleasure_n in_o any_o thing_n as_o active_a perspicuous_a free_a cheerful_a virtuous_a mind_n for_o such_o mind_n be_v much_o more_o capable_a than_o the_o other_o to_o enjoy_v within_o themselves_o by_o contemplation_n and_o consequent_o in_o action_n the_o most_o delightful_a felicity_n on_o earth_n such_o mind_n do_v far_o more_o excellent_o and_o pleasant_o then_o the_o other_o contemplate_v and_o enjoy_v the_o sweet_a delight_n that_o may_v be_v derive_v from_o the_o happy_a society_n of_o
