how_o do_v this_o doctrine_n agree_v with_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v before_o set_v down_o that_o where_o it_o be_v affirm_v that_o felicity_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o virtue_n and_o honest_a

that_o therefore_o blessedness_n do_v not_o depend_v of_o fortune_n but_o be_v produce_v by_o virtue_n and_o good_a deed_n because_o these_o be_v firm_a and_o constant_a but_o fortune_n be_v uncerteine_a and_o variable_a indeed_o there_o seem_v but_o small_a agreement_n between_o these_o thing_n namely_o blessedness_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o virtue_n and_o just_a action_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o felicity_n come_v from_o they_o howbeit_o this_o disagréement_n will_v easy_o be_v reconcile_v if_o thou_o will_v distinguish_v of_o the_o cause_n of_o outward_a cause_n cause_n a_o distinction_n of_o cause_n we_o must_v make_v two_o kind_n and_o the_o final_a cause_n must_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o efficient_a and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o among_o the_o final_a cause_n felicity_n be_v the_o chief_a which_o nevertheless_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v by_o those_o thing_n whereof_o felicity_n itself_o be_v the_o end_n no_o man_n must_v marvel_v since_o between_o the_o end_n and_o the_o efficient_a this_o change_n or_o course_n be_v always_o perceive_v for_o as_o the_o end_n be_v bring_v forth_o by_o the_o efficient_a so_o the_o efficient_a be_v move_v by_o the_o end_n but_o which_o shall_v be_v those_o principal_n among_o moral_a virtue_n which_o aristotle_n pronounce_v to_o be_v most_o steadfast_a and_o in_o a_o manner_n immovable_a no_o other_o steadfastness_n which_o virtue_n be_v of_o most_o steadfastness_n in_o my_o judgement_n but_o those_o four_o virtue_n common_o commend_v wisdom_n justice_n fortitude_n and_o temperance_n for_o these_o do_v comprehend_v almost_o all_o the_o action_n of_o man_n life_n therefore_o of_o a_o happy_a man_n they_o can_v not_o be_v forget_v another_o thing_n in_o this_o place_n be_v call_v into_o doubt_n namely_o that_o there_o may_v be_v find_v some_o man_n which_o will_v both_o set_v aside_o the_o care_n of_o household_n affair_n and_o which_o have_v decree_v never_o to_o deal_v with_o matter_n of_o the_o commonweal_n but_o to_o live_v only_o alone_a and_o to_o exercise_v himself_o in_o sundry_a science_n which_o he_o have_v learned_a he_o because_o nature_n be_v content_v with_o a_o little_a will_v be_v occupy_v in_o very_a few_o action_n and_o will_v altogether_o give_v himself_o to_o contemplation_n and_o science_n whereof_o it_o will_v come_v that_o he_o will_v soon_o forget_v virtue_n or_o else_o will_v soon_o be_v without_o they_o than_o forgetfulness_n can_v abolish_v science_n or_o else_o that_o he_o do_v not_o with_o great_a endeavour_n provide_v to_o

that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v seldom_o and_o hardly_o be_v find_v who_o yet_o if_o he_o can_v at_o any_o time_n be_v find_v be_v not_o so_o great_o to_o be_v account_v of_o as_o for_o his_o sake_n

those_o thing_n which_o rare_o happen_v and_o let_v we_o add_v that_o such_o manner_n be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o any_o shall_v so_o lead_v his_o life_n in_o

the_o cause_n of_o the_o error_n he_o affirm_v live_v that_o a_o bless_a man_n may_v be_v call_v happy_a while_o he_o live_v that_o a_o bless_a man_n may_v have_v happiness_n in_o himself_o even_o
