this_o affection_n in_o whatsoever_o imminent_a danger_n that_o may_v bring_v either_o grief_n or_o death_n with_o it_o though_o the_o avoidance_n thereof_o seem_v never_o so_o hard_a yet_o with_o

which_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o ass_n who_o if_o he_o chance_v to_o fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n where_o he_o have_v make_v some_o proof_n of_o peril_n unto_o himself_o his_o danger_n past_a be_v

by_o a_o man_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o stick_v by_o he_o he_o ever_o afterward_o fear_v and_o fly_v his_o presence_n neither_o will_v he_o be_v win_v by_o all_o the_o flatter_a allure_a speech_n that_o may_v be_v use_v to_o trust_v he_o any_o more_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o remembrance_n of_o what_o be_v past_a and_o the_o fear_n of_o that_o which_o may_v be_v to_o come_v so_o that_o we_o see_v that_o fear_n help_v the_o base_a creature_n even_o the_o ass_n himself_o much_o more_o man_n who_o be_v furnish_v with_o the_o rare_a excellency_n of_o all_o the_o affection_n for_o by_o natural_a fear_n he_o fly_v &_o avoyd_v the_o injury_n of_o time_n of_o tempest_n of_o famine_n of_o pestilence_n and_o the_o like_a misery_n that_o usual_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o world_n and_o all_o this_o by_o that_o industry_n and_o diligence_n that_o proceed_v from_o fear_n by_o civil_a fear_n he_o fly_v those_o punishment_n that_o the_o law_n impose_v which_o concern_v either_o the_o loss_n of_o ●onour_n or_o of_o the_o good_n of_o fortune_n or_o of_o the_o person_n itself_o and_o this_o by_o that_o careful_a observance_n of_o justice_n which_o fear_n stir_v up_o by_o supernatural_a fear_n he_o fly_v eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n and_o that_o by_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o neighbour_n so_o that_o by_o the_o first_o fear_n he_o save_v his_o body_n by_o the_o second_o his_o honour_n by_o the_o three_o his_o soul_n and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o fear_n be_v necessary_a nay_o beneficial_a in_o nature_n because_o it_o do_v not_o only_o instruct_v but_o preserve_v too_o why_o do_v lover_n always_o fear_n problem_n 113._o perhaps_o because_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o lover_n to_o be_v always_o vigilant_a over_o that_o they_o love_v and_o of_o sentinelle_n that_o watch_v and_o guard_n always_o to_o fear_n and_o therefore_o lover_n be_v employ_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o same_o

they_o in_o their_o love_n or_o perhaps_o because_o fear_n be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o providence_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o father_n who_o be_v strong_o move_v by_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o fear_n which_o be_v full_a of_o amorous_a zeal_n by_o such_o affection_n be_v stir_v to_o provide_v against_o whatsoever_o danger_n shall_v any_o way_n threaten_v their_o child_n and_o therefore_o wise_a and_o provident_a nature_n will_v that_o lover_n shall_v be_v in_o continual_a fear_n of_o that_o they_o love_v to_o the_o end_n that_o at_o every_o need_n they_o may_v provide_v for_o their_o necessity_n for_o fear_n be_v as_o a_o spur_n to_o make_v man_n fly_v what_o danger_n soever_o general_a or_o particular_a and_o especial_o in_o reasonable_a creature_n or_o perhaps_o because_o humane_a love_n be_v always_o full_a of_o the_o swell_a inflammation_n of_o some_o affection_n for_o never_o be_v the_o sea_n of_o love_n free_a from_o the_o furious_a wind_n of_o such_o like_a care_n nature_n will_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o lover_n shall_v always_o be_v accompany_v with_o fear_n for_o the_o perfection_n not_o corruption_n thereof_o for_o by_o fear_n evil_a be_v

that_o courage_n which_o we_o see_v in_o all_o creature_n be_v the_o strength_n or_o bulwark_n of_o nature_n which_o then_o with_o much_o honour_n appear_v in_o every_o particular_a kind_n when_o they_o can_v attain_v without_o special_a danger_n their_o purpose_a end_n for_o than_o they_o arm_v themselves_o with_o new_a force_n and_o with_o all_o their_o power_n abandon_v all_o fear_n they_o make_v strange_a and_o incredible_a proof_n of_o their_o strength_n and_o courage_n run_v through_o all_o danger_n beat_v down_o all_o force_n which_o if_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v they_o can_v never_o attain_v that_o end_n which_o be_v compass_v with_o so_o many_o danger_n so_o many_o difficulty_n for_o love_n and_o desire_n be_v not_o sufficient_a as_o be_v both_o employ_v about_o those_o thing_n that_o bring_v only_a pleasure_n &_o ease_n and_o delight_n with_o they_o without_o danger_n much_o less_o do_v hope_n suffice_v which_o hope_v only_o that_o which_o be_v simple_o good_a nor_o fear_v which_o fly_v and_o dare_v not_o encounter_v a_o danger_n and_o therefore_o courage_n which_o be_v the_o fortress_n which_o nature_n have_v give_v to_o her_o work_n be_v most_o necessary_a amongst_o other_o affection_n to_o serve_v the_o irascible_a part_n or_o perhaps_o because_o every_o agent_n will_v his_o end_n as_o his_o good_a but_o many_o be_v by_o nature_n we●ke_v see_v some_o difficulty_n in_o the_o end_n be_v comfort_v by_o hope_n but_o find_v not_o only_a difficulty_n but_o danger_n too_o if_o by_o this_o other_o affection_n of_o boldness_n and_o courage_n they_o be_v not_o strengthen_v they_o will_v never_o stir_v far_a to_o attain_v their_o desire_a end_n for_o such_o and_o so_o great_a be_v danger_n many_o time_n that_o man_n be_v hardly_o stir_v up_o by_o this_o affection_n to_o undergo_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o read_v of_o one_o only_a horatius_n in_o all_o rome_n that_o dare_v oppose_v himself_o against_o the_o thuscane_a army_n of_o one_o only_a curtius_n that_o cast_v himself_o into_o the_o fiery_a gulf_n to_o free_v his_o country_n of_o one_o only_a mutius_n that_o pass_v to_o his_o enemy_n camp_n dare_v in_o the_o midst_n thereof_o assault_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n of_o only_a three_o horatij_n that_o commit_v their_o life_n to_o the_o danger_n of_o a_o single_a combat_n to_o quit_v their_o country_n of_o their_o

that_o to_o the_o achieve_v of_o dangerous_a enterprise_n a_o undaunted_a courage_n be_v always_o necessary_a why_o be_v young_a man_n common_o bold_a and_o courageous_a problem_n 115._o perhaps_o because_o young_a man_n abound_v with_o much_o blood_n &_o heat_n by_o the_o vigour_n of_o nature_n and_o consequent_o with_o much_o vital_a spirit_n whereby_o they_o be_v make_v strong_a and_o

young_a man_n be_v common_o ambitious_a and_o carry_v with_o a_o fervent_a zeal_n and_o desire_v of_o honour_n whereby_o be_v spur_v forward_o there_o be_v not_o any_o enterprise_n so_o difficult_a or_o dangerous_a which_o can_v strike_v fear_n into_o they_o or_o they_o dare_v not_o undertake_v or_o perhaps_o because_o be_v strange_o possess_v of_o a_o opinion_n of_o that_o shame_n and_o

and_o other_o be_v very_o great_a and_o presume_v withal_o of_o their_o power_n and_o blood_n there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n so_o high_a and_o so_o difficult_a that_o can_v limit_v their_o hope_n

and_o depend_v rather_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v than_o what_o be_v past_a full_a of_o boldness_n they_o hope_v all_o thing_n though_o far_o above_o their_o own_o strength_n whereas_o

much_o pain_n and_o to_o hope_v little_a then_o to_o labour_v slow_o and_o yet_o to_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o vain_a hope_n or_o perhaps_o because_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n choose_v the_o
