Now turnyng agayn to our porpos the soule vegetable, as I have tolde
you, is
Or retournant a nostre pourpos lame uegetable, come je uous ay dit,
est
setted within the myght elemented, the whiche doth upholde her as the
plantee dedans la puissance ellementee, la quelle la soubstient come le
vessell doth the lyker, and the sensytyve nother more no lesse is
setted within
uaisseau fait la liqueur, et la sensitiue ne plus ne moins est
plantee dedens
the vegetable, as the ratyonell is within the sensytyve, the whiche
ye may
la uegetable, come la racionelle est dedens la sensitiue, ce que pouez
clerely parceyve by that that whan the body begynneth to fayle
clerement apercepuoir par ce que quant le corpz commence a deffaillir
by age or otherwyse, the vegetable lyfe herselfe by and by, bycause
par uiellesse ou aultrement, la uegetable se pert incontinent, pour ce
that thappetite begyn to fayle whith retayning and voyding, which make
to perish
que lappetit se pert auec retencion et euacuacion, qui fait
perir
the sensytyve, for as the persone lese the luste, and the dygestion,
also soone
la sensitiue, car come la persone pert lappetit et le degerer,
tout aussy tost
begynne he to juge the switte bytter, and the bytter swete, and say
that he seeth
commence il a juger le doulz amer, et lamer doulz, et dit
quil uoit
that whiche other may nat se, and also of all his fyve wyttes, and
ce que les aultres ne peuuent ueoir, et ainsy de tous ses cincq sens, et
lykewyse thintellectyve lese the reason and the jugement of thynges,
par consequent lintellectiue pert la reason et le discernement des
choses,
for she beynge in the body humayne can nat attayne to any knolege
car elle estant ou cors humain ne peult paruenir a aulcune
cognoissance
(nat beyng inspyred ghostly) without it be by the meane of the fyve
(selle nest inspiree diuinement) ce se nest par le moien des cincq
wyttes aparteyning to the sensytyve, for before that ye do understande
any
sens apartenant a la sensitiue, car deuant que uous entendez
aulcune
thyng, it behoved fyrst that it be to you shewed by the syght, by
chose, il faut premierement quil uous soit monstre par la ueue, par
meane of colours, or by the hering by the meane of sound or voise, or by
moien de coulleur, ou par louye moiennant son ou uoix, ou par
smelyng, goustyng and tastyng, the whiche thyng so perceved by the
fyve
flairer, gouster et taster, laquelle chose ainsy aperceue par les
