and_o here_o be_v the_o definition_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o best_a moralist_n 23._o boujou_n fol._n 7_o 23._o vndantedness_n say_v one_o be_v a_o affection_n and_o

naturalist_n have_v observe_v that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v of_o that_o constitution_n of_o body_n have_v ordinary_o a_o undaunted_a spirit_n the_o natural_a reason_n of_o it_o be_v that_o this_o

have_v be_v observe_v by_o the_o physician_n when_o they_o have_v open_v the_o body_n of_o valiant_a and_o undaunted_a spirit_n that_o their_o heart_n be_v large_a than_o the_o heart_n of_o ordinary_a man_n themistocles_n see_v plutarch_n in_o the_o life_n of_o themistocles_n and_o king_n xerxes_n king_n of_o persia_n have_v cause_v the_o body_n of_o leonidas_n king_n of_o sparta_n to_o be_v open_v partly_o out_o of_o admiration_n of_o his_o valour_n and_o in_o part_n out_o of_o curiosity_n man_n the_o second_o natural_a cause_n of_o undantedness_n be_v the_o largeness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o see_v whether_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o a_o undaunted_a spirit_n be_v large_a than_o the_o heart_n of_o common_a man_n he_o find_v the_o same_o to_o be_v as_o big_a again_o and_o hairy_a all_o over_o a_o natural_a propriety_n incident_a to_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o hot_a and_o moist_a constitution_n of_o body_n to_o abound_v in_o hair_n the_o natural_a reason_n why_o man_n with_o large_a heart_n than_o other_o shall_v be_v addict_v to_o valour_n and_o undantedness_n be_v this_o that_o the_o large_a the_o heart_n be_v the_o morevital_a spirit_n it_o can_v contain_v which_o be_v the_o essential_a cause_n of_o valour_n and_o undantedness_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v that_o the_o largeness_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v a_o natural_a cause_n of_o undantedness_n man_n that_o tall_a and_o burly_a man_n be_v common_o less_o valorous_a than_o short_a and_o middle_a stasture_v man_n divers_a man_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o tall_a and_o burly_a body_a man_n be_v more_o addict_v to_o valour_n and_o undantedness_n then_o short_a and_o middle-statured_a man_n but_o they_o be_v mistake_v for_o tall_a man_n have_v small_a heart_n than_o other_o and_o be_v also_o common_o more_o fainthearted_a than_o other_o man_n and_o the_o naturalist_n give_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o if_o their_o heart_n say_v say_v be_v proportionable_a to_o their_o body_n they_o may_v have_v reason_n to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n but_o it_o be_v common_o small_a because_o nature_n extend_v its_o virtue_n to_o the_o utmost_a part_n deprive_v the_o inward_a part_n of_o it_o beside_o all_o the_o vital_a spirit_n reside_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o by_o its_o motion_n they_o be_v disperse_v through_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n now_o the_o far_a distant_a these_o part_n be_v from_o the_o heart_n the_o long_a time_n be_v the_o vital_a spirit_n a_o go_v to_o quicken_v and_o vivifie_v they_o and_o by_o consequence_n tall_a and_o burlybodied_a man_n be_v full_a of_o flesh_n then_o of_o spirit_n and_o less_o courageous_a than_o other_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o have_v a_o presume_a undantedness_n because_o of_o their_o strength_n but_o what_o be_v do_v by_o strength_n proceed_v from_o strength_n and_o not_o from_o valour_n which_o do_v reside_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o in_o the_o arm_n and_o in_o the_o sinew_n and_o the_o most_o valorous_a and_o undaunted_a spirit_n of_o this_o age_n and_o of_o other_o age_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n short_a or_o at_o the_o most_o of_o a_o

in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o some_o of_o all_o stature_n may_v be_v valiant_a and_o undaunted_a the_o first_o accidental_a cause_n may_v be_v the_o innocency_n of_o man_n and_o
