take_v small_a or_o no_o good_a order_n to_o have_v the_o people_n instruct_v in_o the_o truth_n or_o last_o and_o most_o of_o all_o to_o the_o ignorant_a blindness_n of_o this_o nation_n which_o do_v

like_o humane_a tradition_n last_o if_o we_o shall_v consider_v well_o the_o above_o mention_v position_n of_o old_a writer_n namely_o that_o northern_a man_n be_v more_o blockish_a and_o ignorant_a by_o that_o reason_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o northern_a man_n be_v more_o hardly_o draw_v from_o any_o receive_a opinion_n for_o ignorant_a man_n be_v also_o suspicious_a and_o hardly_o admit_v any_o that_o bring_v innovation_n the_o rather_o because_o they_o be_v less_o capable_a of_o their_o persuade_a argument_n so_o the_o philosopher_n say_v of_o a_o city_n in_o greece_n that_o the_o

answer_v as_o cicero_n speak_v of_o soothsayer_n thou_o promise_v i_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o beg_v a_o groat_n of_o i_o but_o we_o daily_o see_v that_o witty_a man_n and_o learned_a be_v often_o catch_v and_o draw_v to_o expense_n by_o their_o abstruse_a dark_a argument_n therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o southern_a man_n by_o the_o outward_a ceremony_n be_v like_o sepulcher_n sumptuous_a without_o but_o that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o northern_a man_n be_v glorious_a within_o or_o if_o set_v humane_a experience_n aside_o we_o will_v weight_n this_o by_o the_o holy_a scale_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n we_o shall_v find_v undoubted_o that_o we_o can_v neither_o in_o north_n nor_o south_n come_v to_o god_n or_o fly_v from_o he_o at_o

whereupon_o bodine_n say_v that_o the_o transulpine_a man_n come_v into_o italy_n be_v much_o trouble_v with_o fleae_n and_o bite_a fly_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n howsoever_o we_o may_v true_o say_v that_o northern_a man_n have_v white_a skin_n and_o many_o time_n by_o the_o accident_n of_o fatness_n soft_a than_o the_o common_a sort_n there_o yet_o the_o ethiopian_n and_o other_o people_n of_o

of_o any_o nation_n whatsoever_o by_o the_o common_a consent_n of_o all_o man_n they_o account_v southern_a man_n to_o be_v most_o clean_o and_o neat_a of_o body_n as_o well_o for_o their_o frequent_a

in_o which_o it_o be_v no_o small_a trespass_n so_o much_o as_o to_o spit_v which_o in_o common_a conversation_n they_o take_v for_o a_o offence_n as_o if_o he_o that_o spit_v be_v weary_a of_o their_o company_n and_o in_o deed_n by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o clime_n and_o continual_a bathe_n in_o hot_a bath_n they_o take_v away_o the_o rheum_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o trouble_v with_o
