and_o general_o to_o he_o who_o love_v virtue_n the_o action_n that_o be_v virtuous_a i_o confess_v that_o the_o thing_n that_o please_v the_o common_a people_n dont_fw-fr agree_v together_o because_o

the_o first_o particular_a the_o judgement_n of_o aristotle_n be_v yet_o more_o plain_a for_o he_o give_v this_o definition_n of_o virtue_n a_o habit_n that_o relate_v to_o mediocrity_n or_o a_o

therefore_o he_o may_v be_v inclinable_a to_o one_o before_o he_o have_v attain_v another_o for_o he_o distinguish_v and_o teach_v that_o this_o may_v happen_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o natural_a

but_o this_o can_v be_v so_o in_o relation_n to_o such_o virtue_n by_o which_o a_o man_n be_v style_v a_o good_a and_o virtuous_a man_n because_o all_o the_o rest_n accompany_v prudence_n and_o to_o

the_o judgement_n of_o aristotle_n nothing_o but_o this_o disposition_n can_v qualify_v man_n to_o be_v honest_a and_o just_a so_o that_o he_o who_o be_v not_o rich_a and_o consequent_o not_o in_o a_o

therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o rule_n and_o precept_n be_v useless_a to_o such_o man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o severity_n and_o punishment_n that_o can_v restrain_v they_o reason_n therefore_o invite_v they_o who_o be_v of_o sound_a sense_n and_o understanding_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o justice_n equity_n and_o fidelity_n wicked_a deed_n be_v useful_a to_o no_o body_n and_o riches_n be_v convenient_a for_o none_o but_o for_o honest_a man_n and_o such_o as_o have_v a_o mind_n tend_v to_o liberality_n for_o they_o know_v thereby_o how_o to_o gain_v man_n affection_n and_o to_o make_v themselves_o belove_v which_o tend_v very_o much_o to_o the_o security_n and_o quiet_a of_o our_o life_n beside_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o aught_o to_o oblige_v we_o to_o unjust_a action_n the_o desire_n that_o proceed_v from_o nature_n be_v easy_o to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o for_o such_o as_o be_v vain_a foolish_a and_o needless_a we_o shall_v not_o obey_v '_o

therefore_o if_o justice_n of_o itself_o and_o by_o itself_o be_v not_o desirable_a it_o be_v at_o lest_o desirable_a for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o great_a pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n that_o it_o

be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v avoid_v because_o of_o the_o punishment_n and_o the_o mischief_n that_o fall_v upon_o the_o wicked_a but_o chief_o also_o because_o it_o never_o suffer_v our_o mind_n to_o

do_v amiss_o to_o add_v something_o concern_v that_o which_o we_o call_v right_o or_o just_a from_o whence_o justice_n derive_v its_o name_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o discover_v what_o the_o

derive_v its_o name_n as_o justice_n have_v be_v contrive_v and_o appoint_v for_o the_o public_a good_a it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o right_n and_o equity_n which_o it_o chief_o respect_n be_v good_a for_o each_o individual_a person_n that_o constitute_v a_o society_n and_o because_o every_o one_o desire_n natural_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o himself_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o what_o be_v right_o or_o just_a be_v according_a to_o nature_n and_o by_o consequence_n must_v be_v style_v natural_a now_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n that_o i_o mention_v this_o because_o it_o sometime_o happen_v that_o in_o the_o government_n of_o society_n some_o thing_n be_v order_v as_o right_o and_o just_a which_o nevertheless_o be_v not_o good_a nor_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o a_o society_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o natural_a but_o against_o nature_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v repute_v just_o but_o only_o nominal_o so_o or_o by_o mistake_n that_o which_o be_v true_o right_a and_o natural_o just_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v ordain_v that_o be_v to_o say_v effective_o useful_a and_o good_n therefore_o to_o speak_v proper_o right_o or_o natural_a
