the_o race_n and_o most_o approve_a perfect_a path_n of_o goodness_n and_o of_o grace_n oh_o mild_a and_o honourable_a age_n that_o do_v abate_v the_o fire_n of_o vicious_a youth_n and_o do_v restrain_v each_o lewd_a and_o fond_a desire_n the_o paraphrase_n the_o bless_a apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n to_o the_o lord_n mean_v that_o our_o true_a and_o natural_a country_n be_v that_o of_o which_o david_n speak_v say_v i_o trust_v to_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o almighty_a in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o paradise_n where_o who_o soever_o remain_v do_v live_v without_o any_o dread_a or_o danger_n of_o death_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o the_o while_n that_o we_o be_v absent_a from_o that_o place_n we_o be_v apt_o here_o call_v stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n meaning_n that_o as_o the_o pilgrim_n wander_v here_o and_o there_o forth_o of_o his_o country_n so_o we_o be_v always_o absent_a and_o out_o of_o our_o country_n as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o transitory_a life_n and_o because_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o age_n we_o draw_v near_o to_o our_o own_o country_n when_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o death_n by_o which_o death_n as_o plato_n say_v in_o his_o phedro_n the_o soul_n attain_v unto_o liberty_n and_o break_v out_o from_o the_o gaol_n of_o the_o body_n be_v deliver_v from_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n come_v to_o her_o own_o quietness_n joy_n and_o solace_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v displease_v at_o our_o old_a age_n since_o that_o it_o be_v the_o race_n of_o goodness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o plain_a path_n &_o way_n by_o which_o we_o pass_v from_o sorrow_n and_o trouble_n to_o quietness_n and_o to_o rest_v and_o this_o be_v only_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o modest_a and_o well_o govern_v age_n for_o that_o be_v she_o that_o abate_v the_o lust_n and_o outrage_n of_o youth_n for_o there_o be_v a_o age_n as_o aristotle_n say_v in_o the_o first_o of_o his_o ethic_n that_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o virtue_n and_o good_a behaviour_n be_v altogether_o dote_v and_o childish_a for_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n as_o aristotle_n say_v betwixt_o he_o that_o be_v young_a of_o year_n and_o he_o that_o be_v young_a in_o behaviour_n so_o that_o the_o age_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v displeasant_a must_v be_v modest_a and_o furnish_v with_o good_a behaviour_n and_o virtuous_a exercise_n and_o that_o be_v the_o age_n that_o do_v abate_v the_o fire_n of_o vicious_a youth_n and_o do_v restrain_v each_o lewd_a and_o fond_a desire_n this_o age_n as_o tully_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr senectute_n write_v do_v allay_v both_o lust_n pride_n &_o presumption_n and_o do_v so_o enfeeble_v the_o force_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o it_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o be_v lowly_a mild_a and_o modest_a of_o this_o kind_n of_o age_n also_o speak_v the_o psalm_n where_o it_o say_v when_o the_o time_n of_o meekness_n &_o mildness_n shall_v come_v then_o shall_v we_o be_v reform_v which_o time_n of_o mildness_n be_v from_o the_o age_n of_o threescore_o to_o threescore_o and_o ten_o which_o season_n suffer_v not_o a_o man_n to_o be_v proud_a or_o disdainful_a but_o lowly_a mild_a and_o dispose_v to_o virtue_n and_o therefore_o the_o proverb_n say_v it_o do_v abate_v the_o fire_n of_o vicious_a youth_n etc_n etc_n 94._o this_o to_o the_o virtuous_a man_n alone_o do_v give_v authority_n and_o make_v he_o perfect_a in_o the_o point_n of_o grace_n and_o honesty_n for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o in_o his_o youth_n can_v keep_v the_o perfect_a way_n or_o measure_n in_o his_o life_n observe_v or_o run_v not_o astray_o the_o paraphrase_n it_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o whensoever_o we_o see_v a_o old_a ancient_a man_n we_o shall_v rise_v and_o reverence_v he_o and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n that_o in_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o old_a time_n they_o use_v to_o worship_n and_o reverence_v their_o age_a person_n and_o the_o people_n of_o those_o day_n do_v yield_v the_o same_o honour_n to_o such_o as_o be_v old_a as_o they_o do_v to_o their_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n and_o this_o only_o they_o do_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o honour_n that_o their_o old_a year_n do_v give_v they_o for_o no_o young_a man_n though_o his_o wit_n be_v never_o so_o pregnant_a or_o quick_a be_v able_a to_o attain_v to_o that_o understanding_n that_o the_o old_a man_n by_o his_o experience_n have_v get_v for_o as_o aristotle_n in_o the_o first_o and_o sixteenth_o of_o his_o ethic_n witness_v the_o number_n of_o year_n be_v it_o that_o give_v knowledge_n &_o experience_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a man_n can_v never_o give_v any_o perfect_a judgement_n of_o any_o thing_n because_o he_o never_o have_v have_v any_o great_a experience_n and_o although_o that_o in_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o in_o the_o liberal_a art_n &_o learn_n there_o need_v nought_o else_o but_o a_o sharp_a and_o quick_a conceit_n and_o understanding_n yet_o in_o moral_a philosophy_n which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n by_o which_o we_o learn_v to_o live_v upright_o and_o honest_o it_o be_v not_o only_a enough_o to_o have_v a_o good_a wit_n &_o capacity_n to_o but_o also_o to_o have_v the_o experience_n and_o knowledge_n of_o time_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v do_v by_o man_n of_o ripe_a year_n we_o always_o presume_v that_o they_o be_v do_v upon_o great_a advice_n and_o deliberation_n which_o be_v nothing_o so_o with_o young_a man_n and_o therefore_o upon_o great_a consideration_n our_o saviour_n be_v perfect_a god_n and_o man_n although_o in_o the_o very_a instant_n that_o he_o be_v conceive_v he_o be_v perfect_a in_o all_o knowledge_n &_o understanding_n &_o do_v not_o grow_v with_o space_n of_o time_n to_o more_o ripe_a knowledge_n &_o skill_n will_v neither_o preach_v nor_o publish_v his_o doctrine_n in_o his_o young_a year_n but_o at_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v come_v to_o his_o perfect_a age_n neither_o do_v the_o church_n receive_v for_o truth_n and_o certainty_n any_o other_o thing_n than_o those_o which_o we_o read_v to_o be_v do_v at_o his_o full_a age_n whereupon_o all_o such_o book_n as_o be_v write_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o childhood_n and_o young_a year_n the_o church_n do_v take_v for_o apocrypha_n and_o count_v they_o not_o in_o the_o canon_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o unripe_a year_n shall_v be_v of_o no_o authority_n since_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o will_v neither_o preach_v nor_o publish_v his_o doctrine_n till_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v of_o ripe_a and_o perfect_a age_n 95._o this_o make_v the_o cato_n so_o renown_a for_o wisdom_n great_a and_o grave_a this_o make_v the_o valiant_a scipio_n so_o great_a a_o name_n to_o have_v this_o only_a govern_v in_o the_o field_n and_o give_v the_o victory_n and_o this_o in_o peace_n do_v country_n keep_v from_o all_o hostility_n the_o paraphrase_n there_o be_v no_o man_n as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o that_o attain_v to_o any_o perfection_n in_o his_o do_n and_o device_n but_o only_o by_o long_a experience_n of_o many_o year_n and_o therefore_o say_v aristotle_n in_o the_o six_o of_o his_o ethic_n that_o young_a man_n ought_v always_o to_o have_v about_o they_o old_a and_o ancient_a man_n who_o counsel_n they_o may_v use_v and_o who_o they_o ought_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o age_n be_v of_o great_a account_n and_o estimation_n for_o it_o make_v as_o the_o proverb_n here_o say_v man_n to_o be_v wise_a meet_a to_o judge_v and_o discrete_a in_o government_n and_o therefore_o trogus_n pompeius_n in_o his_o eleven_o book_n write_v that_o alexander_n whensoever_o he_o happen_v upon_o any_o desperate_a adventure_n or_o see_v himself_o in_o great_a danger_n in_o the_o field_n will_v never_o have_v about_o he_o any_o young_a blood_n or_o hewster_n but_o old_a man_n that_o be_v of_o experience_n such_o as_o have_v serve_v his_o father_n and_o his_o grandfather_n in_o their_o war_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v have_v in_o his_o company_n not_o only_a soldier_n but_o director_n he_o say_v beside_o that_o when_o his_o old_a soldier_n have_v require_v of_o he_o leave_n to_o go_v home_o to_o rest_n and_o refresh_v their_o old_a and_o weary_v body_n and_o that_o they_o will_v send_v in_o their_o place_n their_o son_n that_o be_v young_a and_o lusty_a and_o better_a able_a to_o do_v he_o service_n he_o answer_v they_o that_o he_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o account_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o skilful_a
