manner_n of_o vice_n you_o see_v then_o madam_n what_o diversity_n do_v proceed_v of_o these_o resemblance_n which_o be_v well_o understand_v by_o you_o master_n john_n francisco_n wherefore_o this_o

likewise_o i_o say_v that_o it_o can_v follow_v that_o one_o noble_a man_n do_v engender_v a_o noble_a child_n nobility_n be_v a_o quality_n of_o the_o mind_n even_o as_o wisdom_n experience_n and_o other_o virtue_n of_o like_a sort_n be_v and_o now_o how_o can_v thou_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o expect_v the_o victory_n concern_v the_o controversy_n in_o question_n see_v i_o have_v show_v by_o

not_o be_v amiss_o for_o it_o be_v true_a and_o it_o can_v any_o way_n be_v deny_v that_o whosoever_o be_v descend_v of_o noble_a blood_n we_o call_v he_o a_o noble_a man_n but_o general_o i_o deny_v this_o to_o contain_v a_o truth_n tell_v i_o i_o pray_v thou_o if_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o christian_n be_v straightway_o a_o christian_n sure_o no._n but_o even_o as_o it_o be_v not_o only_o necessary_a for_o he_o that_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o right_n and_o true_a christian_a that_o by_o birth_n he_o do_v descend_v of_o christian_n parent_n but_o likewise_o that_o he_o receive_v baptism_n and_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o noble_a man_n to_o come_v of_o noble_a blood_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o make_v little_a or_o nothing_o in_o matter_n of_o nobility_n but_o that_o he_o observe_v that_o which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o attain_n of_o perfect_a nobility_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o become_v noble_a through_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o mind_n beside_o that_o i_o may_v add_v hereunto_o that_o this_o thy_o consideration_n be_v far_o from_o the_o purpose_n in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o prize_n be_v not_o give_v to_o he_o that_o shall_v only_o bear_v the_o name_n but_o to_o he_o that_o shall_v in_o effect_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a of_o we_o two_o albeit_o that_o thou_o may_v reply_v hereunto_o possidonio_n as_o thou_o have_v already_o affirm_v that_o if_o they_o that_o descend_v of_o noble_a man_n be_v not_o noble_a than_o they_o shall_v not_o enjoy_v the_o same_o privilege_n that_o noble_a man_n do_v whereunto_o i_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o bad_a custom_n of_o man_n therein_o be_v much_o to_o be_v blame_v forasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v not_o employ_v their_o discourse_n to_o that_o whereby_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a but_o only_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o bare_a name_n they_o do_v argue_v in_o such_o manner_n so_o that_o if_o we_o turn_v our_o back_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o give_v our_o mind_n to_o follow_v the_o lie_a opinion_n of_o the_o rude_a vulgar_a sort_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v fall_n into_o great_a error_n thy_o say_n then_o shall_v be_v true_a thou_o see_v now_o possidonio_n of_o what_o force_n thy_o argument_n be_v but_o i_o will_v pass_v over_o to_o the_o rest_n and_o come_v unto_o that_o by_o which_o thou_o do_v seek_v to_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o infamy_n of_o a_o man_n be_v sufficient_a to_o blemish_v his_o whole_a stock_n that_o the_o glory_n and_o worthiness_n thereof_o ought_v by_o great_a reason_n extend_v itself_o to_o all_o his_o posterity_n whereupon_o thou_o do_v consequent_o infer_v that_o thy_o ancestor_n be_v noble_a thou_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o although_o that_o this_o reason_n seem_v apparent_a yet_o in_o answer_v thereunto_o i_o may_v say_v and_o therewithal_o if_o i_o list_v not_o particular_o to_o pass_v through_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o reason_n resist_v whatsoever_o thou_o have_v allege_v that_o we_o do_v not_o now_o debate_v of_o the_o nobility_n of_o our_o ancestor_n but_o we_o be_v to_o prove_v which_o of_o we_o two_o be_v the_o most_o noble_a and_o so_o by_o consequent_a show_n what_o our_o nobility_n be_v &_o not_o set_v forth_o the_o honour_n of_o other_o man_n and_o herein_o i_o will_v yield_v unto_o thou_o that_o if_o we_o be_v both_o equal_a in_o nobility_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o perhaps_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o thy_o predecessor_n y_fw-fr u._fw-mi may_v be_v more_o noble_a than_o myself_o but_o judge_v now_o what_o

of_o ancient_a holy_a father_n or_o from_o some_o scaffold_n in_o the_o market_n place_n recite_v out_o of_o the_o old_a roman_n the_o cruel_a war_n of_o the_o giant_n or_o the_o furious_a love_n of_o some_o orlando_n but_o to_o let_v that_o pass_v how_o well_o this_o thy_o glorious_a speech_n do_v become_v thou_o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o this_o argument_n where_o thou_o do_v say_v that_o like_o as_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o son_n do_v extend_v to_o the_o father_n much_o more_o do_v the_o father_n glory_n stretch_v unto_o his_o child_n it_o be_v true_a possidonio_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o
