“'And yiff a tre with frut be ovirlade'/In his epistles he seith, as ye may see⟳,/'Both braunche and bough wol enclyne and fade⟳,/And greyne oppressith to moche vberte:/Right so it farith of fals felicite,/That of his weighte mesure doth exceede/Than of a fal gretly is to dreede'.”

“to this day they yet enjoy⟳ that naturall ubertie and fruitfulnesse, which without labouring toyle, doth in such plenteous abundance furnish them with all necessary things […].”

“But it does not contribute⟳ to the uberty of reasoning, which far more calls for solicitous care.”
