rule_n how_o far_o we_o shall_v strive_v against_o pain_n for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o question_n whether_o pain_n be_v evil_a or_o not_o as_o the_o business_n to_o fortify_v the_o mind_n

by_o a_o vulgar_a mistake_n be_v only_o restrain_v to_o a_o bad_a sense_n although_o derive_v from_o confide_v which_o be_v commendable_a now_o he_o that_o have_v assurance_n can_v be_v in_o fear_n

never_o discontent_v but_o all_o wise_a man_n be_v valiant_a therefore_o discontent_n be_v not_o incident_a to_o a_o wise_a man_n and_o even_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v out_o of_o order_n be_v not_o due_o

the_o mind_n be_v out_o of_o order_n be_v not_o in_o fit_a case_n to_o discharge_v its_o office_n now_o the_o office_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o use_v its_o reason_n aright_o and_o a_o wise_a man_n soul_n be_v always_o so_o dispose_v that_o he_o use_v his_o reason_n after_o a_o most_o right_a manner_n therefore_o it_o be_v never_o disturb_v but_o discontent_n be_v a_o disturbance_n of_o the_o

viii_o by_o another_o from_o that_o of_o temperance_n it_o be_v further_a likely_a that_o he_o who_o be_v temperate_a who_o the_o greek_n call_v sober_a and_o name_v the_o virtue_n itself_o sobriety_n which_o i_o be_o wont_a sometime_o to_o term_v temperance_n other_o time_n moderation_n and_o another_o while_n modesty_n which_o yet_o i_o know_v not_o but_o it_o may_v be_v right_o call_v

disposition_n of_o mind_n as_o to_o harm_v no_o body_n integrity_n comprehend_v also_o all_o the_o other_o virtue_n which_o unless_o it_o be_v so_o great_a and_o have_v it_o be_v confine_v within_o the_o narrow_a bound_n of_o frugality_n or_o thrift_n as_o some_o conceive_v the_o surname_n of_o l._n piso_n have_v never_o be_v so_o honourable_a but_o because_o neither_o he_o that_o through_o

to_o all_o the_o virtue_n for_o all_o the_o virtue_n be_v link_v and_o fasten_v inseparable_o to_o one_o another_o therefore_o integrity_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o remain_v and_o four_o virtue_n
