The Philosopher being swallowed in this device, brake into this blasphemy, that they exclaim that nature is a stepdame to man, and that it is best not to be borne.

The Philosopher béeyng swallowed in thys deuice, brake into thys blasphemye, that they exclame that nature is a stepdame to man, and that it is beste not to bée borne.

The common sense sayeth, that which in deed Pliny hath written, that there is nothing more miserable, than Man, that he beginneth his life in affliction. But thou art found alone, which deniest that Man is borne to misery. But yet thou wilt say, thou doest me wrong, who simply deny not that men are borne to misery, but so begotten or created of God. But I pray thee, what love is this? for wilt thou measure the nature of God by mans capacity, when with his only beck he can sanctify men, who otherwise should he borne miserable, yet rather willeth to be borne in calamity, or indeed to speak after your manner, permitteth. But haply thou wilt except, that God being angry with the sins of men, doeth this worthily, with which sin being after a sort enforced, he abandoneth the affection of a •at her to some, and he loveth not all, when he renounceth some.

But yet thou wilte saye, thou doest mée wrong, who simply denye not that menne are borne to miserie, but so begotten or created of God. But I praye thée, what loue is this? for wilt thou measure the nature of God by mans capacitie, when wyth hys only becke he can sanctifie men, who otherwise should hée borne miserable, yet rather willeth to bée borne in calamitie, or indéede to speake after your maner, permitteth. But happly thou wilte except, that God being angry wyth the sinnes of menne, doeth this worthilye, wyth which sinne being after a sort enforced, he abandoneth the affection of a •at her to some, and he loueth not all, when he renounceth some.
