require_v such_o person_n as_o be_v endue_v with_o requisite_a organ_n to_o utter_v speech_n before_o the_o art_n of_o well_o speak_v can_v be_v teach_v unto_o they_o since_o art_n only_o serve_v to_o

above_o all_o the_o place_n where_o the_o taste_n be_v frame_v for_o that_o be_v the_o physician_n of_o the_o stomach_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o meat_n and_o the_o arbiter_n of_o all_o what_o be_v present_v and_o since_o that_o nature_n have_v so_o mix_v the_o taste_n and_o the_o speech_n think_v you_o not_o lover_n of_o virtue_n that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o faithful_a advertisement_n forewarn_v we_o how_o that_o all_o our_o discourse_n ought_v to_o be_v temper_v and_o as_o health_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n so_o likewise_o he_o that_o speak_v well_o be_v temperate_a in_o his_o tongue_n and_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o tongue_n either_o in_o matter_n of_o discourse_n or_o of_o speech_n be_v true_a eloquence_n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v why_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v well_o instruct_v and_o well_o inform_v for_o to_o speak_v well_o i_o shall_v reply_v why_o must_v the_o taste_n be_v temperate_a you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v because_o of_o the_o nouriture_n which_o do_v first_o pass_v by_o the_o essay_n of_o the_o taste_n and_o i_o will_v answer_v that_o as_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o body_n ought_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o taste_n which_o in_o its_o self_n be_v a_o perfect_a and_o a_o temperate_a sense_n that_o so_o likewise_o the_o speech_n be_v a_o nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o devil_n non_fw-la insolopane_fw-la vivit_fw-la homo_fw-la sed_fw-la in_fw-la omne_fw-la verbo_fw-la quod_fw-la procedit_fw-la exore_fw-la dei_fw-la must_v pass_v by_o the_o art_n of_o well_o speak_v for_o that_o the_o word_n by_o which_o well_o speak_v be_v frame_v be_v the_o food_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o wonder_v not_o though_o i_o tell_v you_o more_o that_o notwithstanding_o speech_n and_o well_o speak_v be_v all_o but_o word_n verba_fw-la and_o vote_n as_o another_o say_v yet_o those_o that_o speak_v a_o good_a word_n id_fw-la est_fw-la that_o speak_v well_o receive_v a_o sensible_a pleasure_n by_o their_o mouth_n of_o this_o i_o be_o certain_a and_o have_v a_o thousand_o witness_n i_o say_v not_o that_o a_o man_n feed_v on_o the_o good_a word_n of_o another_o for_o all_o that_o be_v but_o air_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o air_n whereon_o our_o mix_a body_n do_v nourish_v themselves_o but_o the_o word_n be_v taste_v by_o themselves_o whereon_o you_o need_v but_o to_o examine_v a_o poet_n hereon_o and_o doubtless_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o he_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n know_v and_o eat_v his_o word_n there_o

and_o for_o the_o great_a demonstration_n of_o the_o delicateness_n of_o speech_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o since_o well_o speak_v be_v conceive_v by_o so_o delicate_a a_o sense_n as_o the_o taste_n be_v and_o that_o the_o mouth_n where_o that_o sense_n reside_v give_v it_o its_o birth_n nay_o that_o in_o its_o very_a birth_n and_o production_n it_o be_v receive_v by_o another_o sense_n more_o delicate_a than_o the_o former_a to_o wit_v hear_v nam_fw-la auditis_fw-la per_fw-la verbum_fw-la so_o you_o need_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o delicacy_n of_o its_o temper_n since_o its_o that_o sense_n which_o judge_v of_o all_o the_o harmonious_a reasonance_n in_o the_o universal_a world_n neither_o need_v we_o to_o dispute_v on_o the_o largeness_n of_o its_o ample_a sphere_n extent_n for_o that_o very_o often_o it_o do_v not_o only_o hear_v that_o which_o it_o regard_v not_o but_o also_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n neither_o need_v we_o to_o question_v its_o power_n both_o on_o the_o body_n sense_n and_o also_o on_o the_o soul_n of_o mortal_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o sense_n be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o head_n which_o we_o call_v the_o ear_n but_o no_o soon_o
be_v they_o strike_v with_o some_o noise_n but_o that_o this_o sense_n be_v so_o powerful_a that_o it_o form_n and_o communicate_v both_o its_o species_n and_o image_n unto_o all_o the_o inferior_a sense_n and_o have_v once_o get_v a_o foot_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o man_n fancy_n or_o cogitation_n it_o be_v the_o sense_n which_o move_v stir_n embroil_v and_o command_v all_o our_o passion_n unto_o their_o material_a be_v and_o to_o say_v more_o even_o from_o their_o off_o spring_n and_o formal_a be_v but_o on_o what_o ground_n or_o consequence_n do_v this_o little_a parcel_n of_o sense_n move_v and_o stir_v all_o the_o body_n since_o it_o employ_v not_o itself_o in_o the_o body_n of_o all_o animal_n as_o feeling_n do_v certain_o no_o otherwise_o but_o by_o the_o speech_n and_o by_o a_o pronounce_a discourse_n and_o this_o we_o aught_o more_o to_o admire_v that_o the_o soul_n as_o substantial_o intellectual_a shall_v only_o produce_v though_o without_o itself_o spiritual_a and_o intellectual_a thing_n and_o that_o likewise_o the_o soul_n which_o receive_v all_o thing_n shall_v only_o receive_v proportionable_a one_o as_o spiritual_a accident_n but_o because_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o state_n only_o receive_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o sense_n that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o thing_n which_o one_o man_n may_v communicate_v to_o another_o for_o doubtless_o god_n may_v agitate_v immediate_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n without_o the_o sense_n all_o what_o she_o receive_v for_o her_o spiritual_a food_n be_v at_o first_o sensible_a as_o be_v make_v so_o by_o its_o passage_n through_o the_o several_a organ_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o one_o soul_n agitate_v towards_o another_o and_o produce_v some_o sensible_a thing_n must_v be_v so_o spiritual_a or_o approach_v so_o near_o unto_o a_o spiritual_a be_v that_o it_o may_v even_o reach_v the_o soul_n and_o as_o it_o be_v touch_v it_o for_o that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o that_o part_n which_o receive_v for_o to_o agitate_v but_o only_o to_o receive_v and_o to_o suffer_v now_o that_o which_o my_o soul_n can_v produce_v and_o form_v of_o

one_o may_v look_v on_o another_o man_n body_n but_o that_o only_o terminate_v itself_o on_o its_o superficies_n but_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v he_o can_v only_o pretend_v to_o agitate_v on_o the_o intellectual_a soul_n of_o another_o by_o the_o speech_n which_o proceed_v from_o his_o mouth_n it_o be_v that_o which_o shake_v a_o man_n move_v altar_n change_n turn_n and_o wind_n he_o and_o lead_v he_o to_o that_o which_o the_o agitate_a soul_n pretend_v unto_o this_o be_v that_o only_a sense_n and_o that_o only_a part_n of_o the_o body_n to_o wit_n the_o mouth_n which_o by_o the_o art_n of_o well_o speak_v animate_v and_o excitates_fw-la another_o man_n soul_n i_o say_v not_o that_o man_n be_v insensible_a of_o what_o he_o see_v touch_v smell_n and_o taste_v for_o i_o know_v that_o man_n be_v a_o sensible_a animal_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n which_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o sense_n attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n make_v use_n of_o the_o several_a action_n of_o the_o sense_n even_o for_o its_o own_o instruction_n and_o all_o those_o other_o parcel_n do_v only_o tend_v direct_o immediate_o and_o total_o for_o to_o move_v the_o body_n but_o another_o
