if_o he_o play_v the_o fool_n in_o any_o thing_n it_o be_v in_o this_o for_o not_o to_o attend_v to_o the_o world_n and_o to_o his_o profit_n so_o much_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v consider_v the_o

notwithstanding_o they_o be_v rich_a and_o not_o only_a age_n but_o youth_n also_o itself_o in_o that_o case_n will_v be_v no_o less_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wealth_n but_o the_o mind_n which_o make_v the_o well_o content_v either_o youth_n or_o age_n aqvilonius_n i_o think_v in_o this_o account_n you_o rest_v deceive_v much_o since_o of_o the_o two_o the_o immodest_a poor_a man_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o boldness_n can_v shift_v for_o himself_o well_o enough_o will_v seem_v better_a able_a to_o support_v his_o age_n then_o may_v the_o modest_a poor_a man_n who_o

so_o covetous_a that_o when_o they_o have_v wealth_n they_o be_v loath_a to_o spend_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o as_o good_a not_o to_o have_v it_o as_o to_o live_v beside_o it_o and_o to_o feel_v the_o affliction_n of_o poverty_n no_o less_o than_o poor_a man_n themselves_o do_v or_o rather_o more_o than_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o care_n and_o solicitude_n that_o rich_a man_n have_v to_o keep_v their_o wealth_n from_o be_v rob_v or_o purloin_v from_o they_o which_o the_o poor_a old_a man_n be_v void_a of_o so_o that_o poverty_n and_o age_n will_v better_o seem_v to_o

poverty_n then_o have_v the_o more_o wealthy_a to_o forsake_v their_o riches_n aqvilonius_n you_o please_v i_o with_o this_o point_n very_o well_o and_o say_v in_o effect_n as_o i_o will_v have_v you_o for_o that_o a_o old_a man_n without_o money_n may_v be_v liken_v to_o a_o soul_n without_o a_o body_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o he_o desire_v every_o hour_n to_o be_v rather_o out_o of_o the_o world_n then_o in_o it_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o such_o a_o poor_a and_o needy_a old_a man_n carry_v for_o the_o most_o part_n his_o eye_n in_o his_o pocket_n his_o ear_n in_o his_o belly_n his_o tooth_n in_o his_o girdle_n and_o his_o leg_n in_o his_o hand_n which_o be_v but_o a_o miserable_a state_n to_o live_v in_o all_o which_o misery_n may_v in_o a_o old_a man_n that_o be_v wealthy_a be_v supply_v by_o have_v other_o to_o read_v and_o write_v for_o he_o without_o use_v his_o spectacle_n and_o also_o by_o have_v other_o to_o tell_v he_o what_o a_o clock_n it_o

of_o his_o own_o and_o last_o by_o have_v other_o to_o bear_v he_o abroad_o either_o in_o his_o chair_n or_o his_o coach_n without_o use_v the_o help_n either_o of_o staff_n or_o crutch_n and_o therefore_o of_o the_o two_o young_a man_n may_v better_a want_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n then_o old_a man_n though_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o young_a man_n without_o money_n may_v
