Sꝫ ꝯͣ ē qd̓ dic̄ Seneca in. 2. de clemētia: Cle­mētiaꝫ māſuetudinē oēs boni viri p̄ſtabunt. ſꝫ v̓tus ē ꝓ­prie ꝑtinet ad bonos viros. v̓tus ē bonū facit habē­tem: optīs eiꝰ bonū reddit: vt dr̄. 2. ethi. clemētia mā­ſuetudo ſunt v̓tutes. Rn̄º. dd̓ꝫ v̓tutis moralis cō­ſiſtit in hoc appetitꝰ rōni ſubdat: vt pꝫ philoſophum in primo ethicoruꝫ. hoc aūt ſeruatur tam in clemētia qͣꝫ in manſuetudine. nam clemētia in diminuendo penas aſpi­cit ad rōnē: vt Seneca dic̄ in. 2. de clemētia. ſil̓r ēt māſue­tudo ẜꝫ rōnē rectā moderat̉ iras: vt dr̄ in. 4. ethi. Un̄ ma­nifeſtū ē taꝫ clemētia qͣꝫ māſuetudo ē v̓tus. Ad pͥᵐ dd̓ꝫ māſuetudo directe opponit̉ ſeueritati: māſue tudo ē circa iras: ſeueritas aūt attendit̉ circa exteriorē īfli ctionē penaꝝ. Un̄ ẜm hoc videret̉ magis opponi clemen­tie ēt circa exteriorē punitōeꝫ ꝯſiderat̉: vt dictū ē: tn̄ opponit̉ eo vtrūqꝫ ē ẜꝫ rōnē rectā. ſeueritas īflexibi­lis ē circa īflictionē penaꝝ: qn̄ hoc recta reꝗrit. clemen­tia aūt diminutiua ē penaꝝ ēt ẜꝫ rōnē rectā. qn̄.ſ. qꝫ ī qui bus oꝫ. ſunt oppoſita: qꝛ ſūt circa idē. Ad 2ᵐ dd̓m ẜm ph̓m in. 4. ethi. hītus mediū tenet in ira ē in noīatus. v̓tus noīat̉ a diminutiōe ire ſignat̉ noīe ſuetudīs: eo v̓tus ꝓpinꝗor ē diminutiōi qͣꝫ ſuꝑabūdātie ꝓpter hoc naͣliꝰ ē hoī appetere vīdictā iniuriaꝝ illataꝝ qͣꝫ ab hoc deficere: qꝛ vix alicui nimis parue vidēt̉ iniurie ſibi illate: vt dic̄ Saluſtiꝰ: Clemētia aūt ē dimitiua pena : ꝗdē in reſpectu ad id qd̓ ē ẜꝫ rōnē rectā. ſꝫ ī reſpectu ad id qd̓ ē ẜꝫ legē cōeꝫ quā reſpicit iuſtitia legalis. ſꝫ ꝓpter aliqͣ particularia ꝯſiderata clemētia diminuit penas: qua­ſi decernēs hoīem non eſſe magis puniendū. Unde dicit Seneca in. 2. De clementia: Clementia hoc primum pre­ſtat: vt quos dimittit: nihil aliud illos pati debuiſſe pro­nunciat: venia vero debite pene remiſſio eſt ex quo patet clementia cōparatur ad ſeueritatem ſicut epicheia ad iuſtitiam legalem cuiꝰ ꝑs eſt ſeueritas qͣꝫtū ad īflictioneꝫ penaꝝ ẜm legē dr̄t tn̄ clemētia ab epicheia: vt īfra dicet̉. Ad 3ᵐ dd̓m btītudines ſūt actꝰ v̓tutū. fructꝰ aūt ſūt delectatiōes de actibꝰ v̓tutū. nihil ꝓhibet manſuetu­dinem poni v̓tutē btītudinē fructum. Ad tertium ſic p̄cedit̉. Uidet̉ p̄dicte v̓tutes ſint ꝑtes tēperātie. Clemētia.n. ē diminutiua penaꝝ: vt dcm̄ eſt: hoc aūt ph̓s in. 5. ethi. attri buit epicheie ꝑtinet ad iuſtitiā: vt ſupra habitū ē. vr̄ clemētia ſit ꝑs tēperantie.. Temperātia eſt circa ꝯcupiſcētias. māſuetudo aūt clemētia reſpiciūt cōcu piſcētias: ſꝫ magis irā vīdictā. debēt poni ꝑtes tēpe rantie.. Seneca dicit in. 2. de cle. Cui voluptati ſeui­tia eſt poſſumꝰ īſaniā vocare. hoc aūt opponit̉ clemētie māſuetudini. īſania opponat̉ prudētie: vr̄ clemen­tia māſuetudo ſint ꝑtes prudētie magis qͣꝫ temperātie. Sed ꝯͣ eſt qd̓ Seneca dic̄ ī. 2. de cle. clemētia ē tēpe rantia in ptāte vlciſcēdi. Tulliꝰ ēt ponit clemētiā ꝑteꝫ tēperātie. Rn̄º. dd̓ꝫ ꝑtes aſſignant̉ in v̓tutibus pͥnci palibꝰ ẜm imitant̉ ipſas in aliꝗbꝰ materijs ſecūdarijs qͣꝫtū ad modū ex quo pͥncipal̓r depēdet laus v̓tutis. vn̄ et nomē accipit: ſic̄ modus nomē iuſtitie in qͣdam eqͣlitate ꝯſiſtit: fortitudīs aūt in qͣdā firmitate. tēperātie aūt in qͣ­dam refrenatione: inqͣꝫtū.ſ. refrenat ꝯcupiſcētias vehemē tiſſimas delectationū tactus. clemētia aūt manſuetudo ſil̓r in qͣdam refrenatōe cōſiſtūt: qꝛ.ſ. clemētia eſt diminu tiua penaꝝ: māſuetudo v̓o eſt mitigatiua ire: vt ex dictis pꝫ. tam clemētia qͣꝫ māſuetudo adiungunt̉ tēperātie ſic̄ v̓tuti pͥncipali: ẜm hoc ponunt̉ ꝑtes tēperātie. Ad pͥmū dd̓m in diminutōe penaꝝ ſunt ꝯſideranda duo: quoꝝ vnū eſt diminutio penaꝝ fiat ẜm ītentionē legiſ­latoris: licꝫ ẜm v̓ba legis. ẜm hoc ꝑtinet ad epicheiā. Aliud aūt eſt q̄dā moderatio affectꝰ: vt homo vtat̉ ſua ptāte in inflictiōe penaꝝ. hoc ꝓpͥe ꝑtinet ad clemētiā: pter qd̓ Seneca dic̄ clemētia eſt tēperātia animi in ptā te vlciſcēdi. hec ꝗdē moderatio animi ꝓuenit ex qͣdam dulcedine affectus ꝗs abhorret omne illud qd̓ pōt aliū cōtriſtare: dicit Seneca clemētia eſt q̄dam lenitas animi. ecōuerſo auſteritas animi videt̉ in eo non veret̉ alios ꝯtriſtare. Ad 2ᵐ dd̓ꝫ adiunctio v̓tutū ſe­cundariaꝝ ad pͥncipales magis attendit̉ ẜm modū v̓tutis eſt qͣſi qͥdaꝫ forma eiꝰ qͣꝫ ẜm mam. māſuetudo aūt cle mentia ꝯueniūt cum tēperātia in: vt dcm̄ eſt: licet ꝯueniant in maͣ. Ad 3ᵐ dd̓m inſania dicit̉ per corru­ptionē ſanitatis. ſicut aūt ſanitas corporalis corrūpit̉ per hoc corpus recedit a debita cōplexione hūane ſpēi: ita et inſania ẜm aīaꝫ accipit̉ per hoc aīa humana recedit a debita diſpōne humane ſpēi. qd̓ ꝗdē cōtingit ẜm rōnē: puta cum aliꝗs vſum rōnis amittit: qͣꝫtum ad vim appe titiuam: puta aliquis amittit affectum hūanū ẜm quē homo eſt naͣliter hoī amicus: vt dr̄ in. 8. ethico. inſania aūt excludit vſuꝫ rōnis opponit̉ prudentie: ſed aliꝗs delectetur in penis hominum dicit̉ eſſe inſania: quia per hoc videt̉ priuatus affectu hūano queꝫ ſeꝗt̉ clemētia. Ad quartum ſic ꝓcedit̉. Uidet̉ clemētia māſuetudo ſint potiſſime virtu­tes. Laus.n. v̓tutis cōſiſtit p̄cipue in hoc ordinat homi ad btītudinē in dei cognitōe ꝯſiſtit. ſed manſuetudo maxīe ordinat hoīem ad dei cognitionē. dr̄. n. Iaco. In manſuetudine ſuſcipite īſitū v̓bū. Ecc. 5. Eſto māſuetus ad audiēdū v̓bū dei. Dio. dic̄ in epl̓a ad Demophilum: Moyſen ꝑꝑ multā māſuetudinē dei apparitiōe dignum habitū. māſuetudo eſt potiſſima v̓tutū.. Tāto vir tus aliqͣ videt̉ potior: quāto magis acceptat̉ a deo ab hoībus. ſꝫ māſuetudo maxīe videt̉ acceptari a deo. dr̄.n.

Aug. dicit ī li. de ſer. do. in mōte: mites ſunt cedūt īprobitatibꝰ reſiſtunt in malo: ſꝫ vincūt in bono malū. hoc aūt videtur ꝑtinere ad mīam vel pietatem videt̉ eſſe potiſſima vir­tutum: qꝛ ſuꝑ illud. i. ad Thimo. 4.

Sꝫ ꝯͣ eſt: qꝛ ponunt̉ virtutes pͥncipales: ſed adiungunt̉ ali­quādo alteri virtuti qͣſi pͥncipaliori. Rn̄º. dd̓m nihil ꝓhibet aliquas v̓tutes eſſe potiſſimas ſimpl̓r nec quo ad oīa. ſed ẜm ꝗd in aliquo genere. non aūt eſt poſſibile clementia māſuetudo ſint potiſſime virtutes ſimpl̓r: qꝛ laus eaꝝ attendit̉ in hoc retrahunt a malo: inqͣꝫtum .ſ. diminunt irā vel penam. ꝑfectiꝰ aūt eſt cōſeꝗ bonuꝫ qͣꝫ carere malo. v̓tutes ſimpl̓r ordināt in bonum. ſicut
