of charitie, either in |Erection|, |conuersion| or |repayring| of any
thing, whereby the common wealth is benefited, vertue furthered, or the
néedy prouided for, might bee in like sort aduanced.=
=Finallie, |Wisdome|, |Iustice|, |Bountie|, |Liberalitie|, |Curtesie|,
|Chastitie|, might each of them as things by themselues, & of
themselues without the person of any one be alike commended. Whereof

hereafter set downe, the learner may sufficientlie bee enabled in
whatsoeuer, for those causes he shall vndertake to proceed vpon.=
