Lusts and appetites are divers and many and that in one man:1 yea and one lust contrary to another and the greatest lust carieth a man all together away with him. We ⟨image 36⟩are also changed from one lust unto another Otherwise are we disposed when we are children / otherwise when we are young men and other wise when we are old / otherwise over even & other wise in the morning: yea sometimes altered .vj. times in an hour. How fortuneth all this?2 Because that the will of man followeth the wit & is subject unto the wit and as the wit erreth so doeth the will / and as the wit is in captivity / so is the will / nether is it possible that the will should be free where the wit is in bondage.
