rehcarsed so shall you proue it to be excellent good I myghte here gather together moe yea and profitable remedyes but these shall suffyce and make a waye for others to prepare according to the occasion for I haue studied breuitie and haue chosen oute of good the beste nor I woulde not as also it becōmeth not a Christian haue them lye hidden in me He shal fynde moe compounded and those not to be contemned whosoeuer readeth in Antonius Fumanellus a phisicion of Verona in hys worke of the composytyon of medecynes the xvi Chapter I haue not wrytten ouer those here lest I shoulde doe the thing already done although some of his doe in some part agre with mine let euery one chose oute that whiche shalbe conuenient for him and he that can not let him take counsell at a learned Phisition and let him remembre that there is nothing done or gotten withoute labour that is praise worthy For God hath appointed al thinges to labour nether are the meanes to bee despised of him that desyreth to obteyne the endes for because that accordynge to the naturall Philosophers a man can not passe from one extremitie to another without a conuenient meane And it is the propertie of a sluggard not to addicte him selfe to immitate folow euery good or best thing for thoughe we can not fullye atteyne thervnto yet at the least let vs come as neare it as we may sythe that as the Prouerbe sayeth Mercurye is not made of euery woode The sixte Chapter expresseth Philosophicall Iudgementes rules and preceptes of Remembraunce ARistotle thoughte good to assigne two actes of Memoratiō to wytte Memorie and Remēbraunce although Remembraunce perteyneth to those thinges whiche we haue forgotten and is the offyce of the extymatyue or cogitatyue vertue not principally of the Memoratyue as Auerrhous and Auerrhous haue declared in their little Treatyses or you may name that faculty to be the minde and vnderstandinge as Themistius ssythe because there is no power or facultie perceiued to wander about but y e vnderstanding And this w tout y e presence of y e obiecte is onely in Man for with the presence of the obiect it is also founde in brute Beastes as Aristotle hath assented and as it euidentlye apearethe in a Greyhounde or Spayniel and it is called the phantasticall sence But Memorye is a retaynyng of the Images or symilitudes first perceyued of the soule the which neuertheles is vnprofytable except it both retayne all and also restore theym in the same order wherein it conceyued theym And it belongeth not to present thinges nor thinges to come but onelye to thynges paste as Aristotle saith Also Memorie and Remembraunce althoughe they doe agree in one same subiecte kynde yet they Dyffer in aptenes because that they that haue a good Remembraunce haue commonlye an yll Memorye Also as concernynge tyme Memorye dothe alwayes goe before Remembraunce for a man can not Remember excepte those thinges whereof he hathe the Memorye Also thys is graunted to manye lyuynge thynges but that onelye to men for syth that to remember is as it were to argue perfitlye that is to procede from knowen to vnknowē therfore it appertaineth to man whereof it commeth to passe that Rembraunce is a gift geuen to Man as I haue alreadye expressed To the Memorie there belongeth foure mouinges The fyrste is a mouyng of the spirites which transport the figures or similitudes from the cogitatiue to the memoratiue The seconde is a picturynge and faynyng of fygures in the same Memorie The thyrde is a reportation or caryinge agayne of the spirites from the memoratiue to the
