this_o seneca_n give_v we_o excellent_a counsel_n and_o that_o which_o be_v familiar_a say_v let_v a_o man_n that_o be_v virtuous_a or_o that_o will_v live_v upright_o imagine_v that_o he_o do_v

another_o no_o less_o convenient_a nor_o less_o profitable_a than_o the_o former_a let_v a_o man_n think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o his_o life_n and_o therefore_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v no_o otherwise_o then_o if_o that_o day_n or_o that_o night_n follow_v he_o be_v to_o stand_v before_o the_o divine_a tribunal_n to_o render_v a_o account_n of_o his_o life_n there_o be_v yet_o another_o counsel_n much_o more_o excellent_a always_o so_o to_o be_v conversant_a as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o have_v he_o before_o his_o eye_n as_o if_o he_o be_v present_a visible_o and_o corporal_o as_o in_o truth_n he_o be_v invisible_o present_a in_o all_o place_n and_o therefore_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n not_o otherwise_o then_o he_o that_o have_v god_n his_o witness_n and_o his_o judge_n see_v all_o thing_n &_o let_v he_o always_o desire_v of_o god_n grace_n so_o to_o be_v conversant_a that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v unworthy_a the_o sight_n and_o presence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o majesty_n so_o that_o this_o care_n &_o watch_n which_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o have_v two_o propose_a scope_n one_o to_o look_v upon_o god_n with_o our_o heart_n to_o have_v they_o lift_v up_o unto_o he_o that_o we_o may_v stand_v before_o he_o with_o great_a reverence_n by_o worship_v he_o by_o praise_v by_o reverence_v by_o love_v he_o by_o yield_a thanks_o unto_o he_o and_o without_o intermission_n by_o offer_v unto_o he_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o devotion_n upon_o the_o altar_n of_o our_o heart_n the_o other_o scope_n be_v a_o diligent_a observation_n of_o all_o our_o action_n that_o we_o do_v and_o speak_v all_o thing_n with_o that_o wariness_n that_o we_o do_v not_o stray_v in_o the_o least_o from_o the_o tract_n and_o path_n of_o virtue_n so_o that_o with_o one_o eye_n we_o always_o behold_v god_n by_o request_v grace_n of_o he_o and_o with_o the_o other_o look_v to_o that_o which_o be_v

well_o in_o divine_a thing_n as_o in_o humane_a therefore_o we_o shall_v stand_v partly_o attend_v on_o god_n and_o partly_o on_o that_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o do_v the_o which_o thing_n although_o it_o can_v always_o be_v do_v yet_o let_v we_o do_v this_o that_o at_o the_o least_o we_o may_v then_o proceed_v after_o this_o manner_n when_o our_o intent_n be_v not_o hinder_v by_o

convenient_a to_o handle_v this_o instruction_n here_o because_o it_o be_v very_o profitable_a the_o four_o admonition_n of_o the_o fortitude_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o they_o that_o aspire_v unto_o virtue_n chap._n xxii_o the_o precedent_a admonition_n have_v open_v our_o eye_n that_o we_o be_v now_o able_a to_o see_v what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v but_o this_o will_v reach_v we_o a_o arm_n that_o be_v fortitude_n and_o courage_n that_o we_o may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o enable_v to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o eye_n behold_v for_o see_v that_o in_o virtue_n there_o be_v two_o

the_o other_o in_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o wisdom_n and_o vigilancy_n in_o this_o of_o fortitude_n and_o diligence_n so_o that_o either_o of_o these_o fail_v the_o business_n of_o virtue_n remain_v unperfect_a for_o there_o will_v be_v blindness_n if_o vigilancy_n and_o foresight_n be_v want_v and_o if_o fortitude_n and_o courage_n fail_v man_n be_v lame_a and_o feeble_a shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o work_v this_o fortitude_n which_o we_o here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o that_o which_o as_o a_o mean_a temper_v and_o moderate_v audaciousnes_n and_o fear_n for_o that_o be_v one_o among_o the_o four_o cardinal_a virtue_n but_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a general_a force_n and_o power_n profitable_a to_o overcome_v all_o difficulty_n which_o hinder_v the_o use_n of_o virtue_n and_o therefore_o it_o always_o walk_v in_o the_o company_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o virtue_n have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o sword_n in_o her_o hand_n that_o she_o may_v open_v &_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o they_o which_o way_n so_o ever_o they_o go_v for_o virtue_n as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v be_v a_o thing_n hard_a and_o difficult_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o this_o fortitude_n always_o march_v in_o the_o vanguard_n of_o the_o virtue_n that_o she_o may_v lay_v to_o her_o help_a hand_n to_o overcome_v and_o conquer_v this_o difficulty_n similitude_n therefore_o as_o a_o stone-cutter_n ought_v always_o to_o have_v his_o mallet_n in_o his_o hand_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o hard_a matter_n which_o he_o labour_v in_o so_o a_o spiritual_a man_n of_o necessity_n ought_v always_o to_o have_v in_o a_o readiness_n this_o fortitude_n as_o a_o spiritual_a mallet_n to_o tame_v and_o overcome_v this_o difficulty_n which_o meet_v with_o we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n and_o as_o the_o stone-cutter_n shall_v do_v nothing_o to_o any_o purpose_n unless_o he_o have_v his_o mallet_n so_o also_o the_o lover_n of_o virtue_n without_o this_o fortitude_n shall_v sweat_v in_o vain_a difficult_a tell_v i_o what_o instance_n of_o any_o virtue_n can_v thou_o give_v which_o have_v not_o some_o particular_a difficulty_n join_v unto_o it_o consider_v of_o they_o

if_o thou_o take_v away_o this_o fortitude_n what_o can_v naked_a and_o unarmed_a virtue_n do_v and_o therefore_o all_o other_o virtue_n do_v seem_v as_o it_o be_v bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n neither_o
