strength_n and_o beauty_n as_o well_o as_o a_o good_a man_n and_o can_v any_o wicked_a man_n be_v happy_a happiness_n consist_v in_o a_o stable_n good_a but_o what_o more_o unstable_a and_o

why_o because_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o happiness_n quest_n but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o man_n be_v thus_o mistake_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o happiness_n ans_fw-fr 1._o sometime_o this_o mistake_n do_v arise_v from_o ignorance_n of_o the_o right_n and_o true_a notion_n of_o happiness_n if_o a_o country_n man_n that_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o king_n go_v up_o to_o the_o court_n and_o see_v a_o knight_n or_o lord_n or_o prince_n come_v out_o in_o fine_a and_o brave_a apparel_n he_o say_v lo_o there_o be_v the_o king_n because_o he_o know_v he_o not_o by_o face_n a_o general_a notion_n he_o have_v of_o a_o king_n but_o not_o have_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o his_o person_n he_o be_v mistake_v and_o say_v lo_o there_o be_v my_o king_n and_o sovereign_a so_o a_o man_n have_v hear_v that_o there_o be_v something_o that_o will_v make_v one_o happy_a but_o not_o have_v the_o right_a and_o true_a notion_n of_o it_o he_o be_v thereby_o mistake_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o happiness_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o he_o that_o be_v happy_a have_v what_o he_o will_v now_o man_n turn_v this_o principle_n and_o say_v he_o that_o have_v what_o he_o will_v have_v be_v a_o happy_a man_n and_o so_o if_o a_o wanton_a have_v the_o embrace_n of_o his_o belove_a than_o he_o say_v now_o be_o i_o happy_a because_o i_o have_v what_o i_o will_v so_o if_o a_o drunkard_n meet_v with_o his_o vain_a and_o wicked_a companion_n he_o say_v now_o be_o i_o happy_a because_o i_o have_v what_o i_o will_v whereas_o in_o truth_n as_o augustine_n mother_n say_v he_o be_v not_o happy_a that_o have_v what_o he_o will_v confess_v si_fw-mi bona_fw-la velit_fw-la &_o habet_fw-la beatus_fw-la est_fw-la si_fw-la autem_fw-la mala_fw-la velit_fw-la &_o quamvis_fw-la habeat_fw-la miser_n est_fw-la august_n confess_v but_o he_o that_o will_v aright_o and_o then_o have_v what_o he_o will_v but_o because_o man_n be_v ignorant_a thereof_o and_o have_v not_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o happiness_n in_o their_o heart_n therefore_o they_o be_v so_o mistake_v 2._o sometime_o this_o mistake_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o misapplication_n of_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o happiness_n for_o what_o be_v happiness_n but_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o that_o which_o do_v command_v all_o thing_n else_o ●ut_v now_o through_o misapplication_n of_o this_o notion_n man_n say_v money_n command_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o more_o money_n i_o get_v the_o more_o happy_a i_o be_o and_o so_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o happiness_n 3._o sometime_o man_n be_v mistake_v herein_o because_o they_o measure_v their_o happiness_n

parable_n of_o the_o talent_n etc._n etc._n if_o god_n will_v require_v the_o work_n of_o our_o hand_n at_o our_o hand_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o do_v that_o work_n with_o all_o our_o might_n but_o
