the_o worst_a so_o the_o contemplate_v life_n be_v the_o best_a and_o the_o poetical_a world_n the_o pleasant_a for_o all_o wise_a witty_a learned_a ingenious_a good_a and_o pious_a man_n dwell_v all_o in_o the_o contemplative_a life_n and_o for_o the_o most_o do_v lover_n of_o all_o sort_n especial_o amorous_a lover_n for_o they_o take_v more_o pleasure_n to_o think_v of_o their_o mistress_n than_o to_o speak_v with_o their_o mistress_n for_o they_o can_v entertain_v the_o idea_n of_o their_o mistress_n a_o long_a time_n with_o great_a delight_n whereas_o they_o grow_v soon_o weary_a of_o their_o real_a person_n thus_o the_o contemplative_a life_n be_v best_a for_o true_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sense_n but_o in_o the_o mind_n for_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n be_v but_o passenger_n through_o the_o sense_n and_o inhabitor_n in_o the_o mind_n beside_o whatsoever_o the_o sense_n have_v enjoy_v live_v in_o the_o mind_n after_o their_o enjoyment_n and_o though_o the_o like_a be_v for_o pain_n and_o surfeit_n yet_o the_o mind_n may_v fling_v they_o out_o or_o if_o it_o fling_v they_o not_o out_o yet_o it_o may_v fling_v they_o aside_o from_o trouble_v it_o and_o though_o the_o mind_n can_v satisfy_v the_o gross_a appetite_n of_o the_o sense_n yet_o those_o satisfaction_n live_v in_o the_o mind_n when_o as_o the_o sense_n though_o they_o will_v

poetical_a world_n of_o part_n and_o whole_n fellow_n student_n the_o question_n in_o the_o school_n at_o this_o time_n be_v whether_o a_o part_n take_v from_o a_o whole_a remain_v a_o part_n after_o the_o divide_v or_o separate_n or_o become_v a_o whole_a of_o itself_o when_o it_o be_v divide_v some_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o after_o a_o part_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o whole_a it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o part_n of_o such_o a_o whole_a either_o of_o figure_n or_o matter_n but_o be_v a_o whole_a of_o itself_o but_o if_o it_o be_v as_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o resurrection_n than_o it_o prove_v that_o the_o several_a divide_v separate_a and_o disperse_v part_n with_o their_o join_v and_o consistent_a motion_n and_o essential_a power_n shall_v meet_v and_o join_v to_o make_v the_o whole_a body_n which_o prove_v that_o although_o part_n be_v separate_v yet_o they_o be_v part_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o whole_a body_n or_o figure_n also_o they_o remain_v distinct_o in_o nature_n as_o part_n to_o such_o a_o body_n otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o return_v at_o the_o resurrection_n so_o ready_o to_o compose_v the_o whole_a by_o the_o join_v and_o unite_n of_o every_o part_n into_o one_o whole_a body_n but_o to_o conclude_v as_o all_o creature_n be_v part_n of_o infinite_a matter_n so_o the_o divide_a part_n of_o every_o creature_n be_v part_n the_o whole_a figur_n or_o body_n of_o every_o creature_n and_o as_o there_o be_v infinite_a matter_n so_o infinite_a creature_n and_o infinite_a part_n and_o infinite_a figure_n of_o every_o and_o in_o every_o part_n and_o whole_a a_o other_o of_o the_o same_o subject_a fellow_n student_n the_o former_a student_n endeavour_n to_o prove_v that_o part_n pertain_v to_o their_o whole_n and_o i_o may_v endeavour_n to_o prove_v that_o whole_n pertain_v to_o part_n as_o much_o as_o part_n pertain_v to_o whole_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o whole_a without_o part_n nor_o no_o part_n without_o a_o whole_a but_o howsoever_o all_o part_n and_o whole_n of_o every_o creature_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o so_o consequent_o shall_v be_v to_o all_o eternity_n for_o as_o they_o be_v so_o they_o will_v be_v for_o if_o such_o matter_n motion_n power_n creature_n part_n and_o figure_n have_v not_o be_v former_o in_o nature_n they_o will_v nor_o can_v not_o have_v be_v in_o nature_n power_n at_o this_o time_n to_o produce_v they_o but_o some_o may_v question_v what_o nature_n be_v i_o may_v answer_v that_o nature_n be_v matter_n motion_n and_o figure_n then_o some_o may_v question_v what_o power_n nature_n have_v it_o may_v be_v answer_v nature_n have_v power_n to_o create_v and_o uncreate_v again_o other_o may_v ask_v who_o give_v nature_n that_o power_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o nature_n power_n proceed_v from_o infinite_a and_o eternity_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o gift_n and_o some_o may_v question_v how_o infinite_a and_o eternity_n come_v but_o that_o be_v such_o a_o infinite_a question_n as_o not_o to_o be_v answer_v for_o whatsoever_o be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a be_v god_n which_o be_v something_o that_o can_v be_v describe_v or_o conceive_v nor_o prescribe_v or_o bind_v for_o it_o have_v neither_o beginning_n nor_o end_v of_o the_o soul_n fellow_n student_n the_o argument_n at_o this_o time_n be_v to_o prove_v whether_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o thing_n or_o nothing_o a_o substance_n or_o no_o substance_n some_o of_o our_o fellow_n student_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o soul_n nothing_o as_o not_o to_o be_v a_o substance_n but_o as_o they_o call_v it_o a_o incorporeal_a thing_n because_o it_o alter_v or_o form_n every_o thing_n to_o its_o own_o likeness_n or_o as_o it_o please_v for_o say_v they_o whatsoever_o the_o sense_n bring_v corporeal_a the_o soul_n make_v incorporeal_a but_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o fire_n make_v all_o thing_n or_o at_o least_o most_o thing_n or_o substance_n like_o itself_o so_o long_o as_o it_o work_v on_o combustible_a matter_n and_o shall_v we_o say_v or_o can_v we_o believe_v that_o fire_n be_v a_o incorporeal_a thing_n because_o it_o transform_v most_o thing_n into_o its_o own_o likeness_n wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o substance_n yet_o such_o a_o substance_n as_o to_o be_v the_o rare_a and_o pure_a substance_n in_o nature_n which_o make_v it_o so_o apt_a to_o ascend_v as_o to_o make_v the_o brain_n the_o reside_a place_n it_o be_v the_o celestial_a part_n of_o man_n whereas_o the_o body_n be_v but_o the_o terrestrial_a part._n a_o speech_n concern_v study_n fellow_n student_n we_o study_v to_o argue_v and_o argue_v to_o study_v for_o the_o chief_a design_n of_o our_o study_n be_v only_o to_o dispute_v either_o by_o the_o tongue_n or_o pen_n or_o both_o but_o all_o dispute_n be_v more_o full_a of_o contradiction_n than_o information_n and_o all_o contradiction_n confound_v the_o sense_n and_o reason_n at_o least_o obstruct_v the_o understanding_n and_o delude_v the_o judgement_n for_o it_o keep_v the_o one_o from_o a_o clear_a insight_n and_o the_o other_o from_o a_o settle_a conclusion_n so_o as_o we_o argue_v rather_o to_o make_v ourselves_o fool_n than_o to_o make_v ourselves_o wise._n a_o other_o of_o the_o same_o subject_a fellow_n student_n the_o former_a student_n speak_v against_o argue_v and_o dispute_v and_o so_o in_o effect_n against_o study_n and_o learning_n but_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v we_o study_v or_o learn_v if_o we_o do_v not_o inform_v each_o other_o of_o our_o conception_n or_o at_o least_o our_o opinion_n which_o be_v breed_v or_o learn_v by_o our_o study_n also_o what_o advantage_n shall_v wise_n or_o subtle_a or_o eloquent_a orator_n or_o great_a schoolman_n have_v if_o they_o have_v not_o studious_a disciple_n to_o follow_v they_o admire_v praise_n and_o imitate_v they_o but_o as_o it_o be_v honourable_a to_o be_v learned_a so_o it_o be_v wise_a to_o learn_v for_o knowledge_n be_v get_v by_o information_n and_o the_o best_a informer_n be_v wise_a book_n which_o book_n must_v first_o be_v read_v and_o study_v before_o they_o can_v be_v understand_v also_o argue_v and_o dispute_v be_v a_o great_a increase_n of_o knowledge_n for_o it_o distinguish_v truth_n from_o falsehood_n clear_v the_o understanding_n
