argument_n against_o atheism_n this_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a fancy_n and_o opinion_n but_o essential_o real_a as_o in_o natural_a thing_n black_a and_o white_a light_n and_o darkness_n neither_o do_v it_o proceed_v from_o any_o custom_n that_o by_o degree_n have_v gain_v upon_o man_n mind_n for_o that_o which_o come_v by_o custom_n do_v grow_v by_o little_a

the_o law_n of_o magistrate_n or_o the_o moral_a precept_n of_o philosopher_n have_v not_o give_v to_o virtue_n its_o be_v they_o have_v only_o apprehend_v it_o in_o the_o action_n and_o deportment_n of_o man_n and_o according_a to_o their_o apprehension_n they_o have_v frame_v their_o precept_n and_o law_n to_o rule_v the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o to_o hinder_v they_o from_o vice_n its_o contrary_n as_o we_o may_v say_v of_o aristotle_n that_o he_o have_v not_o mere_o invent_v out_o of_o his_o own_o brain_n the_o rule_n and_o precept_n of_o argumentation_n but_o only_o have_v frame_v they_o upon_o the_o remark_n which_o he_o have_v make_v of_o all_o man_n discourse_n and_o argument_n and_o upon_o these_o remarke_n have_v compile_v his_o organon_n where_o the_o rule_n of_o

this_o virtue_n have_v its_o rise_n and_o foundation_n in_o man_n nature_n as_o he_o be_v rational_a and_o endow_v with_o that_o will_n and_o understanding_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o supremacy_n over_o the_o affection_n and_o to_o hold_v they_o in_o their_o right_a compass_n and_o this_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o symmetry_n and_o proportion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o rational_a soul_n faculty_n from_o this_o do_v spring_n forth_o the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o virtue_n which_o do_v compel_v the_o most_o barbarous_a to_o admire_v it_o as_o in_o body_n &_o work_n either_o artificial_a or_o natural_a their_o beauty_n proceed_v from_o the_o due_a position_n of_o all_o their_o part_n for_o the_o one_o be_v no_o more_o arbitrary_a or_o imaginary_a than_o the_o other_o but_o both_o be_v true_a and_o real_a that_o of_o virtue_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o glorious_a as_o the_o spiritual_a exceed_v the_o corporeal_a in_o worth_n and_o dignity_n this_o virtue_n as_o we_o have_v describe_v it_o can_v proceed_v from_o a_o blind_a fate_n or_o fortuitous_a cause_n which_o can_v produce_v nothing_o well_o regulate_v but_o aught_o to_o have_v a_o most_o
