of_o our_o mind_n concentrique_fw-la and_o voluble_a with_o the_o wheel_n of_o fortune_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o two_o summary_n precept_n touch_v the_o architecture_n of_o fortune_n precept_n scatter_v be_v many_o but_o we_o will_v only_o select_v a_o few_o to_o serve_v as_o example_n to_o the_o rest_n §_o the_o first_o precept_n be_v that_o this_o architect_n of_o his_o own_o fortune_n right_o use_v his_o rule_n that_o be_v that_o he_o inure_v his_o mind_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o proportion_n and_o valour_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o conduce_v more_o or_o less_o to_o his_o own_o fortune_n and_o end_n and_o that_o he_o intend_v the_o same_o substantial_o and_o not_o superficial_o for_o it_o be_v strange_a but_o most_o true_a that_o there_o be_v many_o who_o logical_a part_n of_o mind_n if_o i_o may_v so_o term_v it_o be_v good_a but_o the_o mathematical_a part_n nothing_o worth_a that_o be_v who_o can_v well_o and_o sound_o judge_v of_o the_o consequence_n but_o very_o unskilful_o of_o the_o prize_n of_o thing_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o fall_n in_o love_n and_o into_o admiration_n with_o the_o private_a and_o secret_a access_n to_o prince_n other_o with_o popular_a fame_n and_o applause_n suppose_v they_o be_v thing_n of_o great_a purchase_n when_o in_o many_o case_n they_o be_v but_o matter_n of_o envy_n peril_n and_o impediment_n other_o measure_v thing_n according_a to_o the_o labour_n and_o difficulty_n spend_v about_o they_o think_v that_o if_o they_o be_v ever_o move_a they_o must_v needs_o advance_v and_o proceed_v as_o

he_o magno_fw-la study_v agebat_fw-la hence_o likewise_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n often_o abuse_v themselves_o who_o if_o they_o use_v the_o favour_n and_o furtherance_n of_o some_o great_a and_o honourable_a person_n they_o promise_v themselves_o all_o prosperous_a success_n whereas_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o not_o the_o great_a but_o the_o apt_a instrument_n soon_a and_o more_o happy_o accomplish_v a_o work_n and_o for_o the_o true_a direction_n of_o the_o mathematical_a square_n of_o the_o mind_n it_o be_v worth_a the_o pain_n especial_o to_o know_v and_o have_v it_o set_v down_o what_o ought_v first_o to_o be_v resolve_v upon_o for_o the_o building_n and_o advance_v of_o a_o man_n fortune_n what_o next_o and_o so_o forward_o §_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o set_v down_o the_o amendment_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o by_o take_v away_o and_o smooth_v the_o impediment_n and_o rub_v of_o the_o mind_n you_o shall_v soon_o open_v a_o way_n to_o fortune_n than_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o fortune_n take_v away_o the_o impediment_n of_o the_o mind_n in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o set_v down_o wealth_n and_o mean_n which_o perchance_o most_o man_n will_v

the_o three_o place_n i_o set_v down_o fame_n and_o reputation_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o have_v certain_a tide_n and_o time_n which_o if_o you_o do_v not_o take_v in_o their_o due_a

there_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a access_n make_v by_o any_o of_o the_o other_o three_o much_o more_o by_o all_o unite_a than_o if_o you_o begin_v with_o honour_n and_o so_o proceed_v to_o the_o rest_n but_o as_o it_o be_v of_o special_a consequence_n to_o observe_v the_o order_n and_o priority_n of_o thing_n so_o be_v it_o of_o little_a less_o import_n to_o observe_v the_o order_n and_o priority_n

we_o sudden_o seize_v upon_o the_o high_a matter_n we_o rash_o pass_v over_o what_o lie_v in_o the_o midst_n but_o it_o be_v a_o good_a precept_n quod_fw-la nunc_fw-la instat_fw-la agamus_fw-la the_o
