whereupon_o plato_n define_v philosophy_n to_o be_v a_o meditation_n or_o remembrance_n of_o death_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o pluck_v and_o retyre_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n from_o visible_a and_o

the_o soon_o therefore_o despise_v and_o set_v light_n by_o it_o forsomuche_o as_o they_o be_v holy_a ravisshed_a and_o gevin_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o invisible_a thyngꝭ_n for_o as_o

it_o at_o all_o for_o some_o of_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o soul_n because_o they_o can_v not_o see_v it_o at_o the_o eye_n so_o again_o devout_a person_n put_v their_o whole_a confidence_n in_o god_n be_v the_o simple_a and_o most_o pure_a thing_n of_o all_o other_o and_o second_o do_v chearishe_a that_o that_o draw_v near_a to_o he_o i_o mean_v the_o spirit_n bestow_v no_o cost_n nor_o

do_v it_o evil_a willing_o and_o with_o a_o spyced_a stomach_n so_o that_o paul_n say_v they_o have_v good_n as_o not_o have_v good_n and_o possess_v they_o as_o not_o possess_v they_o by_o reason_n they_o vary_v so_o much_o from_o the_o universal_a and_o vulgar_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o although_o the_o sense_n have_v all_o a_o certain_a parentage_n a●d_v kynneship_n with_o the_o body_n yet_o be_v there_o of_o the_o same_o some_o grosser_n in_o substance_n as_o be_v feel_v hear_n see_v smell_a and_o taste_v some_o again_o more_o sever_v and_o remove_v from_o the_o body_n as_o be_v memory_n understanding_n and_o freewill_n now_o see_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v therein_o most_o strength_n and_o vigour_n whereunto_o she_o most_o appli_v herself_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o holy_a man_n the_o force_n of_o who_o spirit_n be_v whole_o bend_v upon_o thing_n contemplative_a which_o be_v most_o distant_a and_o alien_v from_o the_o grosser_n sense_n do_v fare_n in_o the_o rest_n as_o if_o they_o be_v benumb_v or_o brute_n of_o judgement_n as_o dumb_v beastꝭ_n be_v whereas_o contrary_a the_o soul_n of_o vulgar_a people_n be_v most_o ●●fe_a and_o pregnant_a in_o those_o gross_a rude_a sense_n of_o the_o body_n be_v as_o blunt_v and_o dulle_v yet_o in_o the_o other_o five_o power_n of_o the_o wit_n and_o hereupon_o i_o think_v it_o come_v wine_n that_o some_o devoute_a person_n as_o it_o be_v write_v of_o they_o do_v without_o apperceive_v the_o difference_n drink_v lamp_n oil_n in_o steed_n of_o wine_n so_o likewise_o as_o concerue_v the_o

with_o such_o other_o disordinate_a mocio●s_n wherewith_o holy_a man_n be_v ever_o at_o unpeasible_a war_n but_o the_o vulgar_n not_o only_o do_v not_o eschew_v but_o rather_o embrace_v they_o affection_n as_o suppose_n they_o can_v not_o live_v without_o they_o than_o again_o some_o other_o affection_n be_v entredeux_v and_o indifferent_a to_o both_o part_n which_o we_o may_v name_v natural_a as_o the_o reverence_n a_o man_n bear_v towards_o father_n and_o mother_n the_o chariness_n he_o have_v over_o his_o child_n the_o love_n he_o owe_v to_o his_o kinnesfolke_n and_o friend_n with_o such_o

like_a which_o say_v middle_a affection_n be_v have_v also_o in_o some_o degree_n and_o price_n among_o come_v people_n though_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o other_o but_o holy_a man_n will_v

yet_o evin_v that_o also_o aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o god_n the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o love_v they_o rather_o as_o good_a folk_n in_o who_o the_o image_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n

that_o each_o of_o they_o do_v take_v other_o for_o mad_a and_o distraught_a folly_n notwithstanding_o in_o my_o conceit_n that_o name_n may_v rightly_a be_v apply_v unto_o holy_a man_n than_o
