of_o the_o reason_n allege_v afore_o against_o averroes_n will_v also_o serve_v against_o he_o howbeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o by_o this_o workful_a mind_n he_o seem_v to_o mean_a god_n himself_o there_o be_v thus_o much_o more_o to_o be_v add_v unto_o it_o that_o god_n who_o be_v altogether_o good_a and_o altogether_o wise_a will_v not_o imprint_v in_o our_o mind_n the_o fond_a and_o wicked_a conceit_n which_o we_o find_v there_o nor_o leave_v so_o great_a ignorance_n and_o darkness_n as_o we_o feel_v there_o but_o will_v in_o all_o man_n overcome_v the_o infection_n which_o the_o body_n bring_v and_o although_o he_o inspire_v not_o all_o man_n alike_o with_o his_o gracious_a gift_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o capacity_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o plane_a table_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o at_o leastwise_o print_v the_o world_n with_o so_o many_o false_a portrature_n and_o train_n as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o may_v perceive_v to_o be_v in_o ourselves_o again_o be_v there_o any_o such_o inspiration_n or_o influence_n it_o shall_v be_v either_o continual_a or_o but_o by_o time_n if_o continual_a or_o everlasting_a we_o shall_v without_o labour_n and_o without_o cunning_a understand_v all_o that_o ever_o our_o imagination_n offer_v unto_o we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v but_o at_o time_n then_o shall_v it_o not_o lie_v in_o we_o to_o list_n or_o to_o understand_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o though_o we_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o for_o contrariwise_o we_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o understand_v some_o thing_n so_o as_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o win_v they_o from_o our_o ignorance_n by_o piecemeal_o and_o there_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n which_o we_o understand_v by_o and_o by_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v put_v unto_o we_o and_o when_o we_o list_v ourselves_o there_o be_v then_o in_o we_o a_o power_n of_o understanding_n though_o very_o feeble_a but_o yet_o never_o the_o late_a obedient_a to_o our_o will_n which_o thing_n can_v be_v father_v upon_o god_n also_o if_o there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o mind_n work_v in_o all_o man_n there_o shall_v be_v but_o one selfesame_a understanding_n in_o all_o man_n i_o mean_v natural_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o differ_v in_o degree_n for_o into_o what_o place_n soever_o the_o sun_n do_v shed_v his_o beam_n he_o do_v both_o enlighten_v it_o and_o heat_v it_o howbeit_o diverse_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o place_n and_o thing_n that_o receive_v he_o some_o more_o and_o some_o less_o some_o bright_a and_o some_o dimly_o but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v his_o light_n yield_v no_o darkness_n nor_o his_o heat_n any_o cold_a so_o than_o if_o the_o diversity_n of_o man_n imagination_n do_v cause_n diversity_n of_o effect_n in_o the_o inspiration_n or_o influence_n that_o flow_v into_o the_o capacity_n of_o our_o understanding_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n namely_o that_o one_o man_n shall_v understand_v one selfesame_a thing_n more_o and_o another_o man_n less_o but_o not_o in_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v take_v untruth_n for_o truth_n unright_a for_o right_n or_o one_o thing_n for_o another_o now_o we_o see_v unto_o how_o many_o error_n we_o be_v subject_a i_o mean_v not_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o namely_o that_o one_o man_n see_v better_o a_o far_o off_o and_o another_o better_a at_o hand_n but_o that_o one_o man_n see_v white_a and_o another_o see_v black_a which_o be_v thing_n contrary_a in_o one selfesame_a ground_n and_o at_o one selfesame_a time_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o divers_a and_o sundry_a mind_n do_v work_v in_o divers_a person_n and_o not_o one selfesame_a mind_n in_o all_o person_n by_o force_n of_o which_o reason_n and_o of_o such_o other_o i_o say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v find_v in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o that_o every_o man_n have_v a_o particular_a soul_n by_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n unite_v to_o his_o body_n which_o in_o respect_n of_o give_v life_n to_o the_o body_n be_v as_o the_o form_n thereof_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o give_v reason_n be_v as_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o action_n that_o in_o every_o man_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a sunbeam_n of_o reason_n whereby_o they_o conceive_v thing_n and_o debate_n upon_o they_o wherethrough_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o often_o time_n they_o agree_v both_o in_o the_o reason_n itself_o which_o be_v one_o and_o in_o the_o manifest_a ground_n thereof_o and_o in_o whatsoever_o depend_v evident_o upon_o the_o same_o that_o every_o man_n have_v also_o a_o peculiar_a body_n by_o himself_o and_o likewise_o peculiar_a complexion_n humour_n imagination_n education_n custom_n and_o trade_n of_o life_n whereof_o it_o come_v that_o every_o man_n take_v a_o diverse_a way_n yea_o and_o that_o one selfesame_a person_n swerve_v diverse_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o reason_n whereof_o the_o path_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o way_n to_o stray_v from_o it_o be_v infinite_a that_o this_o sunbeam_n of_o reason_n which_o shine_v and_o shed_v itself_o from_o our_o mind_n be_v proper_o that_o understanding_n which_o be_v term_v

from_o beginning_n to_o end_n by_o the_o mean_a cause_n this_o mind_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o reason_n as_o cunning_a be_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o instrument_n or_o tool_n and_o reason_n as_o in_o
