The logicians school-master: or, A comment upon Ramus logick.: By Mr. Alexander Richardson, sometime of Queenes Colledge in Cambridge. Whereunto are added, his prelections on Ramus his grammer; Taleus his rhetorick; also his notes on physicks, ethicks, astronomy, medicine, and opticks. Never before published.

Divitiae sunt quibus per se bene seu commodè te geras. Opes sunt quibus per alios bene te geras.

For divitiae are a mans own proper substance; and they draw opes which are the use of an other mans good: and this is the difference of them. Hence the Poet saith, Aspicis, ut veniunt ad candida tecta columbae? But may not a poor man bene se gerere?

Answ. No he cannot performe this action of morality after such a sort as he which hath facultates. Yet that a man may bene se gerere I do not require abundance of riches, but only so much as is requi∣site for this end. Notwithstanding a poor man may be a good divine, because the Lord doth not exact

at any mans hands more than that which he gave him. But Adam he had all things; and such a man Ethicks look at. Now for Opes, for Adam was not absolute having all the creatures til he had a wife al∣so, and ergo a mans parents brethren and friends do conduce ad bene se gerendum, parents for his bring∣ing up and friends to help him in his place and cal∣ling.
