Which as they were of two sectes in generall pointes of humane wisdome, so are they of two sortes, concerning the motions of the minde.* 1.1 For the Stoikes wyl not per∣mit a man to be moued any whytt, for any thing: the Peripatetions contrari∣wyse,* 1.2 thinke it méete that a man should be moued, and being passioned, he should keepe himselfe within the bounds of mo∣destie. Eyther opinion in respect of o∣ther, straunge, and yet neyther true.
