what_o be_v the_o mark_n that_o a_o man_n ought_v special_o to_o shoot_v at_o and_o say_v that_o although_o it_o be_v a_o goodly_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v eloquent_a and_o to_o have_v a_o good_a tongue_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o worthy_a praise_n to_o be_v wise_a eloquence_n be_v a_o fine_a and_o sweet_a kind_n of_o speak_v by_o the_o pleasantness_n whereof_o it_o

therefore_o say_v tully_n that_o far_o better_a be_v wisdom_n void_a of_o eloquence_n then_o foolish_a prattel_v without_o discretion_n wisdom_n among_o all_o the_o moral_a virtue_n that_o aristotle_n in_o his_o ethic_n intreat_v of_o be_v the_o most_o principal_a virtue_n or_o rather_o as_o he_o say_v the_o only_a virtue_n mean_v that_o all_o the_o virtue_n be_v chain_v and_o link_v together_o in_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o philosopher_n common_o say_v that_o whosoever_o have_v one_o have_v al._n for_o if_o he_o have_v one_o virtue_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v wisdom_n thorough_o he_o that_o have_v wisdom_n thorough_o have_v all_o virtue_n therefore_o he_o that_o have_v one_o virtue_n have_v all_o virtue_n wisdom_n as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v consist_v of_o three_o part_n the_o first_o be_v memory_n to_o remember_v such_o thing_n as_o have_v pass_v the_o second_o knowledge_n to_o know_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v present_a the_o third_o providence_n to_o foresee_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o come_v and_o he_o that_o have_v these_o three_o part_n may_v be_v count_v wise_a and_o a_o servant_n obedient_a to_o moral_a philosophy_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o wisdom_n contain_v in_o herself_o all_o moral_a virtue_n and_o as_o aristotle_n say_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n unpossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v wise_a and_o not_o to_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o the_o proverb_n say_v the_o wise_a man_n be_v all_o his_o life_n obedient_a to_o moral_a philosophy_n 18_o roboam_n be_v one_o that_o have_v no_o skill_n but_o do_v assay_v in_o every_o thing_n to_o
