the_o wood_n but_o the_o remote_a matter_n be_v the_o four_o element_n the_o next_o form_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v specifical_a but_o the_o remote_a form_n be_v those_o of_o the_o next_o or_o of_o the_o remote_a genus_fw-la so_o the_o next_o form_n of_o a_o man_n be_v to_o be_v reasonable_a but_o to_o have_v sense_n be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o live_a creature_n which_o be_v the_o genus_fw-la of_o man_n and_o by_o consequent_a also_o be_v the_o form_n of_o man_n but_o remote_a moreover_o there_o be_v cause_n sufficient_a cause_n sufficient_a or_o not_o sufficient_a which_o be_v sufficient_a of_o themselves_o to_o produce_v a_o effect_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o give_v light_n and_o fire_n to_o burn_v and_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o man_n happy_a but_o there_o be_v some_o cause_n which_o be_v not_o of_o themselves_o sufficient_a &_o must_v have_v many_o together_o as_o to_o make_v a_o fertile_a soil_n the_o ground_n must_v be_v lusty_a it_o must_v be_v well_o till_v rain_n must_v moisten_v it_o and_o the_o sun_n must_v heat_v it_o in_o due_a season_n and_o moderate_o to_o attain_v unto_o learning_n a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o good_a wit_n good_a instruction_n and_o be_v diligent_a and_o painful_a so_o divers_a thing_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o victory_n experience_n in_o the_o general_n valour_n in_o the_o soldier_n military_a discipline_n necessary_a weapon_n etc._n etc._n but_o above_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o to_o argue_v from_o the_o cause_n and_o effect_n these_o maxim_n maxim_n maxim_n be_v of_o use_n 1._o that_o which_o agree_v with_o the_o matter_n agree_v also_o probable_o with_o the_o thing_n compose_v of_o that_o matter_n as_o the_o earth_n be_v heavy_a and_o therefore_o terrestrial_a body_n be_v heavy_a this_o maxim_n be_v sometime_o faulty_a for_o example_n ice_n be_v hard_a yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v soft_a and_o liquid_a namely_o water_n 2._o where_o the_o matter_n be_v want_v there_o also_o the_o thing_n compose_v be_v want_v as_o where_o there_o be_v no_o iron_n a_o sword_n can_v be_v make_v 3._o the_o next_o efficient_a and_o necessary_a cause_n be_v grant_v or_o deny_v the_o effect_n also_o must_v be_v grant_v or_o deny_v as_o if_o the_o sun_n shine_v it_o be_v day_n if_o it_o shine_v nor_o it_o be_v not_o day_n and_o this_o effect_n be_v grant_v the_o efficient_a cause_n be_v also_o grant_v 4._o when_o divers_a cause_n be_v necessary_o requisite_a to_o produce_v a_o effect_n one_o of_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v want_v the_o effect_n also_o be_v want_v 5._o such_o as_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n such_o common_o be_v the_o effect_n as_o of_o wicked_a father_n come_v wicked_a son_n and_o strong_a thing_n beget_v strong_a thing_n and_o moores_n have_v black_a son_n this_o maxim_n be_v often_o false_a especial_o in_o remote_a and_o universal_a cause_n as_o the_o sun_n grow_v not_o and_o yet_o it_o cause_v plant_n to_o grow_v it_o have_v no_o scent_n and_o yet_o cause_v flower_n to_o smell_v sweet_a and_o carrion_n to_o stink_n and_o god_n move_v all_o but_o yet_o be_v immoovable_a also_o in_o cause_n which_o act_n by_o accident_n as_o a_o whetsto●e_n be_v not_o sharp_a yet_o cause_v sharpness_n the_o sun_n be_v not_o hot_a yet_o warm_v by_o accident_n in_o clear_v and_o purify_n the_o air_n by_o the_o reflection_n of_o his_o beam_n 6._o if_o the_o self_n same_o quality_n be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o agent_n and_o unto_o the_o patient_a it_o must_v much_o more_o be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o agent_n as_o the_o hand_n be_v warm_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o fire_n which_o act_v upon_o it_o therefore_o the_o fire_n be_v hot_a than_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o sun_n cause_v the_o water_n to_o shine_v therefore_o it_o be_v bright_a than_o the_o water_n this_o maxim_n be_v false_a in_o the_o four_o species_n of_o quality_n namely_o in_o the_o form_n and_o figure_n because_o this_o quality_n receive_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o as_o if_o the_o seal_n be_v round_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o figure_n print_v in_o the_o wax_n be_v less_o round_o than_o the_o seal_n 7._o the_o end_n be_v grant_v those_o mean_n also_o without_o which_o the_o end_n can_v be_v attain_v unto_o be_v likewise_o grant_v as_o if_o you_o grant_v that_o a_o man_n live_v you_o grant_v also_o that_o he_o eat_v drink_v and_o breath_n and_o happiness_n be_v grant_v virtue_n and_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v likewise_o grant_v 8._o the_o mean_n to_o attain_v unto_o the_o end_n be_v grant_v it_o follow_v not_o that_o the_o end_n must_v therefore_o always_o be_v grant_v for_o it_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n to_o say_v philip_n have_v book_n therefore_o he_o be_v learned_a he_o have_v horse_n and_o weapon_n therefore_o he_o shall_v obtain_v the_o victory_n so_o also_o the_o end_n be_v take_v away_o the_o mean_n be_v not_o always_o therefore_o take_v away_o for_o many_o though_o they_o have_v the_o mean_n in_o their_o hand_n never_o attain_v unto_o the_o end_n 9_o cause_n by_o chance_n or_o hazard_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o argue_v withal_o 10._o if_o necessary_a effect_n be_v take_v away_o the_o cause_n also_o be_v take_v away_o i_o say_v necessary_a for_o there_o be_v some_o cause_n which_o act_n not_o necessary_o and_o which_o do_v not_o always_o produce_v their_o effect_n as_o sickness_n bring_v not_o always_o death_n 11._o cause_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o their_o effect_n unless_o the_o effect_n be_v a_o final_a cause_n and_o therefore_o to_o see_v and_o hear_v be_v thing_n more_o excellent_a than_o the_o faculty_n of_o see_v and_o hear_v because_o those_o faculty_n be_v ordain_v only_o for_o these_o effect_n namely_o to_o see_v and_o to_o hear_v 12._o the_o cause_n ever_o go_v before_o their_o effect_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n but_o not_o always_o in_o time_n thus_o the_o sunbeam_n be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o flame_n be_v never_o without_o clearness_n or_o brightness_n the_o table_n of_o cause_n cause_n be_v internal_a matter_n of_o generation_n composition_n form_n natural_a artificial_a externall_n efficient_a proper_o improper_o as_o the_o cause_n meritorious_a instrumental_a natural_a artificial_a final_a all_o cause_n be_v either_o 1._o next_o or_o remote_a 2._o by_o themselves_o or_o by_o accident_n 3._o sufficient_a or_o insufficient_a the_o twelve_o chapter_n of_o etymology_n etymology_n be_v the_o derivation_n of_o a_o word_n etymology_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o word_n be_v as_o a_o definition_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o serve_v to_o argue_v and_o discourse_v as_o when_o we_o say_v such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o a_o counsellor_n because_o he_o give_v no_o counsel_n and_o philip_n can_v be_v call_v a_o philosopher_n because_o he_o love_v not_o wisdom_n thus_o by_o the_o etymology_n of_o these_o name_n jesus_n and_o christ_n we_o gather_v what_o our_o saviour_n calling_n and_o office_n be_v and_o we_o encourage_v such_o as_o have_v a_o name_n import_v some_o virtue_n in_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o virtue_n by_o the_o etymology_n of_o their_o name_n so_o eusebius_n and_o pius_n may_v be_v exhort_v to_o piety_n and_o andrew_n to_o valour_n and_o celestinus_fw-la to_o give_v himself_o to_o heavenly_a thing_n lest_o they_o belie_v their_o name_n by_o a_o contrary_a conversation_n and_o so_o one_o gather_v probable_o that_o all_o thing_n in_o time_n past_a be_v common_a the_o robe_n except_v because_o when_o a_o theft_n be_v commit_v we_o use_v to_o say_v such_o a_o one_o have_v be_v rob_v and_o that_o the_o first_o war_n be_v against_o beast_n because_o the_o latin_a word_n bellum_n come_v from_o bellua_fw-la but_o these_o kind_n of_o proof_n be_v very_o weak_a because_o name_n be_v give_v unto_o man_n before_o it_o can_v be_v know_v whether_o they_o will_v be_v virtuous_a or_o no_o nay_o sometime_o name_n be_v give_v by_o contrary_n and_o by_o way_n of_o derision_n as_o when_o a_o dwarf_n be_v call_v a_o goliath_n good_a etymology_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n take_v from_o the_o latin_a but_o such_o as_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o english_a tongue_n be_v common_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o woe_n of_o the_o man_n and_o beer_n quasi_fw-la be_v here_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o thing_n alike_o or_o unlike_a those_o thing_n be_v call_v alike_o which_o have_v between_o they_o some_o analogy_n and_o correspondency_n or_o proportion_n the_o analogy_n be_v know_v by_o the_o end_n and_o use_v as_o the_o shepherd_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o flock_n and_o the_o pastor_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o church_n be_v thing_n alike_o there_o be_v certain_a thing_n
