Secure

Use in the book

The satire turns confidence against the person who feels it. We securely deride others while failing to recognize our own faults; the Chinese saying and Scaliger’s contempt illustrate competing claims to superiority, not a hierarchy the article adopts. The next unit turns the story back upon the laugher. Securely can also expose impunity: a powerful official may safely rob provinces while a poor thief is hanged. May describes the opportunity his rank gives him, not moral permission.

Be not secure closes the account of causes with a warning to the fortunate. Present goods of mind, body and fortune do not guarantee the evening; prosperity calls for sobriety and watchfulness, while sickness and poverty call for moderation. The injunction therefore means do not be complacent, not do not be safe. The Solomonic-book story makes complacency a consequence of misplaced reliance: people allegedly neglect prayer because they trust the book’s remedies. Burton reports the story through Suidas and a Tholosanus margin; the edition does not identify a surviving book by Solomon or establish their relationship.

The prognosis uses a different evaluation. The form of melancholy accompanied by laughter is called most secure, gentle and remiss: comparatively the safest, mildest and least severe. This belongs to an attributed medical judgment among good and bad signs, not a promise that the condition is harmless. The surrounding account conditions hope on nonhereditary illness treated early, then disputes other supposed signs and turns to difficult chronic cases. Elsewhere Burton says the rest of his book may be read securely after warning susceptible readers against applying symptoms and prognoses to themselves. The restriction on what may be read safely matters.

Safety claims about medicines also retain their conditions and speakers. White hellebore may be securely given at the outset if properly prepared, after objections concerning suffocation, severe distress, weakness and the need for great caution. Burton next criticizes excessive and irrational household dosing. For black hellebore, the attributed permission to give a preparation safely to women, children and weak people follows Vidius’s rejection of the substance itself and preference for an extract, with decoction and infusion also named. These are competing historical judgments about preparation and administration, not modern recommendations.

A secure and composed mind is desirable for sleep. Burton joins the mental condition to a quiet place, then admits that it may not be obtained or may fail to suffice. Friendship offers another route: telling troubles to a faithful friend is said to ease pain and anger because the friend sees what passion obscures. Latin securitas is translated freedom from care; Burton’s following English praises what security the exchange brings. The good is relief from distress, not the negligent spiritual ease condemned elsewhere.

In the practical counsel, secure is an action upon someone’s state of mind. Many are said to recover when secured and satisfied, but the next objection asks how such mental correction can actually be achieved. Friends are to change distressing circumstances and, if possible, give security and satisfaction. Alexander’s preceding account qualifies its cures by imaginings not being deeply rooted; Burton nevertheless proceeds to assert categorically that reassuring the sufferer completes the cure and changing the course of life requires no other medicine. The later instruction let him be secured becomes reassure him, alongside limits of possibility and convenience and the joining of bodily and mental care. These are the text’s claims and historical methods, not promises of clinical success.

Consolation for poverty gives security both a physical and a mental application. Humble wooden and earthen vessels are contrasted with the rich person’s gold and fear of poison: security means safety from harm, not only a reassuring feeling. Freedom from care is another proposed advantage of reduced wealth. Securitie stands among the advantages the poor person has, or at least may have; that alternative prevents the list from certifying everyone’s actual circumstances. Security succeeds after financial loss means freedom from anxiety follows. Burton says the lost money would otherwise have ruined its possessor, whereas the related marginal maxim says perhaps. The surrounding argument acknowledges the pain of lost prosperity and then makes Zeno’s shipwreck an example of unencumbered philosophical life. It does not provide a material guarantee that poverty is safe.

Religious controversy gives secure and security their sharply adverse force. Worldly, secure belongs to Burton’s hostile catalogue of deficient religious life, but that same broad extreme also includes people who distrust divine mercy too much. Complacency and despair are different failures, not synonyms. The preaching argument opposes judgement without mercy to mercy without judgement; the original Bernard margin specifies a misleading display of mercy. The Erasmus margin leaves undecided which extreme is worse, whereas Burton’s English says terrifying preachers do more harm. Hemmingius’s good hope is to be embraced, perverse security and presumption rejected, despite Burton calling both antidotes. Chrysostom’s encouragement expressly aims not to make the sufferer secure and negligent.

The favourable spiritual sense must not disappear. Be secure becomes be assured, and the sufferer immediately asks how my security can be distinguished from carnal presumption. The signs of sanctification are alleged to be missing by the sufferer; Burton refuses the inference that weakly felt signs establish final rejection and urges prayer, desire and waiting. The later doctrinal distinction between universal invitation and the elect being taken hold of prevents this reassurance from becoming an assertion of universal final salvation. Faith, assurance and presumption (security (assurance)) already explains this shared exchange; its R10 explains the adverse security. Secure gathers these senses into the wider lexical family rather than claiming a new discovery.

A guarantee is different from both inward assurance and complacency. In the satire of church patronage, an applicant must put in good security to perform all covenants: he supplies the guarantee and the patron demands it. The passage names neither a particular bond nor collateral, so financial or contractual security should not be narrowed to a specified instrument. The protective verb has another object at the end of the work: betony allegedly did secure the places where it grew. The herb was held to be holy and protective against frightening visions; this reported belief and its Musa attribution are not verified medical effects.

Latin examples make the changing evaluation especially visible. The contented person is Securus, untroubled by how the fates fall, in Burton’s adapted Poliziano verse. In the diet argument, Jerome-attributed securitas is untroubled ease associated with lust. Tacitus’s Securi describes the Fenni’s freedom from wants in its identified setting, but Burton repurposes it as a charge of irreligion and adds that they are safe to their thinking. Finally securus es connects assurance with repentance while healthy, in an Augustine-attributed passage transmitted among doubtful sermons. None of these contexts lets the adjective alone certify the grounds of the confidence.

In this edition

Eight contrasting alignments show why no single gloss suffices: securely deride becomes confidently ridicule; Be not secure, Do not be complacent; most secure, the safest; made the people secure, made the people complacent; Security succeeds, Freedom from anxiety follows; worldly, secure, worldly, complacent; the other security, the other complacency; and did secure such places, protecting the places. The last is a transitive action, not an adjective describing those places.

The related reassurance constructions must keep their components apart. In be secured and satisfied, secured becomes reassured while satisfied remains separate; in security and satisfaction, security remains security while satisfaction supplies reassurance. Secure him expands into make him feel secure, and let him be secured into reassure him. By contrast, good security remains sound security for performance of conditions. An English equivalent may clarify one construction without replacing every use of the source word.

The Latin grammar is independently visible. Securo agrees with ablative animo; Securus and the closing securus are nominative singular, while Securi is nominative plural. In securas de metu reddit, the feminine plural securas agrees with animas, souls, not the neuter corpora, bodies. Burton’s separate English expands the claimed benefits beyond the shorter Latin. Securitas is nominative, while pessimam securitatem is the accusative object produced by the misleading display of mercy. The marginal adverb secure modifies requiescas, may rest, without settling the defective wording elsewhere in its note.

Earlier explained routes remain useful: Hope already separates assurance from carnal presumption; Remedy by diversion explains security and satisfaction; Friendship explains the unburdening that brings ease. Helleborism preserves the medical dispute and its cautionary continuation. Satisfaction examines the reassurance construction from the adjoining noun, while Faith, assurance and presumption (security (complacency) and R14) provides a fuller pastoral explanation. These are shared passages and complementary lexical routes.

The supplied notes identify be sober and watch with 1 Peter 5:8 and the fortune counsel with Ausonius, Epigrams 2.7–8 in Evelyn-White’s numbering. They distinguish Hippocrates, Aphorisms 6.11, on haemorrhoids from Burton’s addition of varices and fluid beneath the skin: varices are enlarged veins, not fluid, and the margin makes the fluid an alternative preferred by some, unlike the body’s equation. The editor reports a Pseudo-Seneca parallel, De remediis fortuitorum 11.1–3, through the Manipulus florum Amissio h/l source sheets; Burton’s intermediary, Camden’s passage, the fortune-and-mind maxim and Jerome’s heavy-metals phrase remain unlocated, the last not found in Letter 125. The authorship and transmission of the treatise attributed to Musa also remain for separate collation.

securely; confidently

Confidently or without fear; the surrounding satire may expose the confidence as unwarranted.

Grammar: English adverb securely modifying deride.

Original text: “securely deride”. In the modern column: “confidently ridicule”. People ridicule others while overlooking their own faults. The Chinese saying and Scaliger’s contempt are competing claims to superiority, not judgments endorsed as facts; their precise sources remain unresolved. Securely supplies confidently; deride supplies ridicule.

secure; complacent

Heedlessly or overconfidently at ease, especially where vigilance or religious responsibility is required.

Grammar: English adjective secure: predicative after be or make, and adjectival in a polemical catalogue.

Original text: “Be not secure”. In the modern column: “Do not be complacent”. The warning urges vigilance in prosperity and moderation in distress. The preceding good fortune is vulnerable to change; the counsel does not command despair. The negative imperative is retained; secure supplies complacent.

Original text: “made the people secure”. In the modern column: “made the people complacent”. Reliance on remedies allegedly displaces prayer and trust in God. Reported story attributed to Suidas, with Tholosanus in the margin; no surviving Solomonic medical book is identified. The causal make construction is retained, with complacent specifying secure.

Original text: “worldly, secure”. In the modern column: “worldly, complacent”. The adjective labels spiritual heedlessness in Burton’s deficient religious extreme. These are hostile religious labels, not neutral classifications; the same broad extreme also includes excessive distrust of mercy. Worldly is retained separately; secure contributes complacent.

Original text: “to make thee secure and negligent”. In the modern column: “to make you complacent and negligent”. Encouragement is explicitly distinguished from making the sufferer careless. Chrysostom-attributed speech: not this purpose but to cheer thee up; do not turn the rejected effect into the intended cure. Secure supplies complacent and negligent remains a separate adjective.

security; spiritual complacency

An unwarranted sense of spiritual safety, distinguished from warranted hope or assurance.

Grammar: English singular abstract noun security, also coordinated with presumption.

Original text: “the other security”. In the modern column: “the other complacency”. Mercy presented without judgement produces the complacency contrasted with despair. Bernard-attributed counsel joins the two; the Latin margin more exactly says a misleading display of mercy. The sermon locator remains unverified. Security contributes complacency; the other refers to mercy rather than judgement.

Original text: “perverse security and presumption”. In the modern column: “perverse complacency and presumption”. The purported second antidote is rejected as harmful as despair. Hemmingius is reported; Burton calls both antidotes despite accepting good hope and rejecting the second. Security becomes complacency; presumption remains a distinct coordinated noun.

secure; security (assurance)

Confidence in one’s spiritual condition, here urged or questioned rather than condemned in itself.

Grammar: English predicative adjective secure after imperative be; singular noun security with possessive my in the sufferer’s question.

Original text: “be secure then”. In the modern column: “Be assured, then”. Burton urges trust after the preceding promises. The next objection challenges the grounds; later distinctions do not allow a conclusion that all will finally be saved. Be secure becomes Be assured, a favourable sense unlike complacency.

Original text: “discern my security from carnall presumption”. In the modern column: “distinguish my assurance from fleshly presumption”. The sufferer asks how assurance differs from unwarranted confidence. First-person objection, not established narrator diagnosis; the reply refuses inference from weak signs to final rejection. Discern supplies distinguish, security assurance, and carnall presumption fleshly presumption.

secure; security; securitie (ease)

Untroubled or free from anxiety; a sense of safety or freedom from care valued in rest, friendship and consolation.

Grammar: English adjective secure; abstract noun security, also printed securitie.

Original text: “with a secure and composed minde”. In the modern column: “with a secure and composed mind”. The desired state of mind is part of preparing for sleep, not culpable carelessness. Burton allows that the desired quiet may not be obtainable or sufficient and then calls for further means. The English adjective remains secure; the adjacent Latin gives mind at ease in the modern column.

Original text: “what pleasure, what security by that means”. In the modern column: “what pleasure, what security it brings”. Unburdening oneself to a faithful friend is praised for the resulting ease. Attributed praise and a strong general claim; the note leaves Chrysostom and the attached Seneca correspondence unresolved. Security is retained in Burton’s English restatement; freedom from care translates the preceding Latin securitas, not this separate English occurrence.

Original text: “children, securitie, sleep”. In the modern column: “children, security, sleep”. Security joins sufficient means and other goods in the praise of the poor person’s condition. The passage allows or at least may have rather than asserting that every poor person actually enjoys all these goods. Securitie is modernized to security; the surrounding nouns remain distinct.

Original text: “Security succeeds”. In the modern column: “Freedom from anxiety follows”. Loss of wealth is reinterpreted as release from its burdens. Consolatory argument, not a universal material guarantee. The body says money would have ruined the sufferer; the related marginal fortassis says perhaps. Security supplies freedom from anxiety; succeeds means follows, not prospers.

secure; secured; security (reassurance)

To make someone feel safe or reassured; the related noun names that intended state.

Grammar: English transitive verb secure, passive be secured, and singular noun security in a coordinated object.

Original text: “be secured and satisfied in their minds”. In the modern column: “been reassured and satisfied in their minds”. Mental reassurance is one of the circumstances credited with relief. The cure claims are attributed to Montalto and Galen; the next objection asks how such correction can actually be achieved. Secured becomes reassured; satisfied is separately retained.

Original text: “to give him security and satisfaction”. In the modern column: “give him security and reassurance”. Friends try to settle the troubled mind through counsel and practical changes. If it be possible qualifies the proposed result; the historical methods include gentle and harsh means. Security is retained; reassurance here renders satisfaction, not security alone.

Original text: “secure him”. In the modern column: “make him feel secure”. The imperative concerns the distressed person’s felt safety. Burton categorically says the cure is complete and no other medicine needed; these remain historical claims, not modern guidance. The modern expands secure into make him feel secure, not lock him away or physically restrain him.

Original text: “let him be secured”. In the modern column: “reassure him”. Uncertainty, fear and suspicion call for reassurance. Relief is qualified by possibility and convenience; the passage joins treatment of body and mind. The passive command becomes an active command addressed to those helping him.

secure; protect

To protect or keep safe from an alleged danger.

Grammar: English transitive verb secure with auxiliary did; such places is its object.

Original text: “did secure such places”. In the modern column: “protecting the places”. Protection of places is attributed to betony growing there. The herb was held to have this effect; its supposed holiness and the Musa attribution are historical claims, not established efficacy. Secure supplies protecting; such places supplies the places.

securely; with impunity

Without effective punishment or challenge, under the protection of social power.

Grammar: English adverb securely modifying rob, within a clause with may.

Original text: “may securely rob whole provinces”. In the modern column: “may safely rob whole provinces”. The powerful officeholder avoids consequences for wrongdoing that would punish a poor thief. Satirical contrast: may describes practical opportunity, while the poor thief’s necessity is qualified by peradventure. Safely renders securely in the sense of impunity, not ethical permission.

security; guarantee

A guarantee or assurance that contractual conditions will be performed.

Grammar: English singular noun security, object of put in, qualified by good and followed by an infinitive of performance.

Original text: “put in good security to performe all covenants”. In the modern column: “provide sound security that he will fulfil every condition”. The applicant for a church living must guarantee performance of the patron’s conditions. Burton’s satire of simoniacal patronage: the candidate provides security and the patron demands it; no specific collateral or instrument is named. Good becomes sound; security is retained in its guarantee sense; covenants supplies conditions.

secure; securely; security (safety)

Free or relatively free from danger, safely, or safety itself: the subject, comparison and stated conditions determine the claim.

Grammar: English adjective secure with superlative most; adverb securely with read or given; singular noun security naming safety from harm.

Original text: “they may securely reade”. In the modern column: “they may read safely”. Burton distinguishes the rest of the book from passages potentially distressing to a melancholy reader. His confidence concerns the rest, not an unqualified invitation to read symptoms and prognoses; the earlier prohibition and later cautious-perusal advice both remain. Securely supplies safely and reade read.

Original text: “most secure”. In the modern column: “the safest”. The laughing form of melancholy is comparatively less dangerous in the attributed prognosis. Attributed to Hercules de Saxonia. The surrounding hereditary and early-treatment conditions and disputed historical physiology remain visible. The superlative is retained; safest is comparative evaluation among forms, not a claim of complete harmlessness.

Original text: “security in the other”. In the modern column: “safety in the other”. The poor person’s humble utensils are contrasted with the rich person’s gold and fear of poisoning. This belongs to consolation praising poverty, not an impartial guarantee that poor people cannot be harmed. Security supplies safety, a noun naming freedom from the danger rather than only the feeling of confidence.

Original text: “if it be well prepared, it may be securely given at first”. In the modern column: “if properly prepared, it may safely be given at the outset”. A favourable claim about white hellebore depends expressly on preparation. The preceding objections include suffocation, weakness and extreme caution; the next paragraph criticizes excessive and irrational household dosing. Securely becomes safely; may and the preparation condition belong to the full construction.

Original text: “may be securely given to women, children, and weaklings”. In the modern column: “may safely be given to women, children and weak people”. The attributed safety claim concerns a preferred prepared form of black hellebore, not unrestricted use of the raw substance. Vidius rejects the substance itself and prefers extract, allowing decoction or infusion; this is historical therapeutic opinion. Securely supplies safely; may is retained and the named recipients remain explicit.

securus

Free from fear or care, untroubled, safe or assured; the value of that confidence depends on context.

Grammar: Latin adjective: securo ablative masculine singular with animo; Securus or securus nominative masculine singular; Securi nominative masculine plural; securas accusative feminine plural.

Original text: “animo securo, quieto & libero”. In the modern column: “with a mind at ease, quiet and free”. Freedom from care is part of the disposition sought for sleep. The desirable state may be unobtainable or insufficient; further means may be needed. Securo supplies at ease; animo mind, and the other adjectives quiet and free.

Original text: “Securus quo fata cadant”. In the modern column: “Untroubled by how the fates may fall”. The contented person is represented as free of anxious concern about events. Burton’s Poliziano excerpt substitutes fates for the comparison text’s sceptres; the printed wording, not that external reading, is translated. Securus supplies Untroubled; quo fata cadant supplies the fate clause.

Original text: “securas de metu reddit”. In the modern column: “makes them secure from fear”. The betony claim describes making souls free from fear. Burton’s separate English paraphrase expands the Latin; the work is transmitted under Musa’s name and identified in the supplied note as Pseudo-Antonius Musa. Securas is a predicative adjective with reddit makes; de metu supplies from fear. Its feminine plural agrees with animas, not neuter corpora.

Original text: “Securi adversus Deos, securi adversus homines”. In the modern column: “Untroubled by gods, untroubled by human beings”. The Tacitean description of freedom from wants is repurposed as religious carelessness. Burton’s English adds to their thinking; the note identifies the Fenni and explains the altered order and polemical reuse. Securi supplies untroubled; adversus with the two objects supplies by gods and by human beings.

Original text: “sic agens, dico tibi quod securus es”. In the modern column: “If you do so, I tell you that you are secure”. The concluding authority connects assurance with repentance during health. Augustine-attributed text of doubtful transmitted authorship; dum sanus es means while healthy, not merely while sane. Securus es becomes you are secure; sic agens is rendered conditionally as If you do so.

securitas

Freedom from care or a sense of safety, which may be praised as relief or criticized as ease and complacency.

Grammar: Latin feminine noun: nominative singular securitas, accusative singular securitatem after generat.

Original text: “quanta inde voluptas, quanta securitas”. In the modern column: “What pleasure comes from this, what freedom from care”. The Latin praises the relief produced by telling troubles to a friend. Chrysostom-attributed phrase; its precise source is unlocated. Burton’s following English security is a separate restatement. Securitas supplies freedom from care; voluptas pleasure, and inde from this.

Original margin: “Lætior successit securitas”. Supplied note translation or expansion: “A happier freedom from anxiety followed”. The margin supports consolation after the loss of riches. Original Latin attributed to Camden; the work and passage remain unspecified. Securitas supplies freedom from anxiety; Lætior happier and successit followed.

Original text: “Ubicunq; securitas, ibi libido dominatur”. In the modern column: “Wherever there is freedom from care, lust holds sway”. Untroubled ease is cast as conducive to lust in the diet and idleness argument. Jerome-attributed moral generalization, followed by Chaucer; not a neutral causal law of desire. Securitas supplies freedom from care; libido lust and dominatur holds sway.

Original margin: “misericordiæ fallax ostentatio pessimam generat securitatem”. Supplied note translation or expansion: “a misleading display of mercy breeds the worst complacency”. The original Latin margin specifies what sort of presentation of mercy produces the harm. Bernard-labelled original margin with a supplied editorial translation; the exact sermon reference remains unverified. Securitatem supplies complacency; pessimam worst; the subject is the misleading display, not mercy without qualification.

secure (Latin adverb)

Securely or without anxiety, here in the quiet of a good conscience.

Grammar: Latin adverb secure modifying requiescas, second-person singular present subjunctive; distinct from English adjective or verb secure.

Original margin: “ubi secure requiescas”. Supplied note translation or expansion: “where you may rest securely”. Rest in one’s chamber accompanies consolation from a good conscience. The original marginal sentence has uncertain salvare and a defective following clause; the local phrase does not resolve those textual problems. Secure supplies securely; requiescas may rest and ubi where.

Earlier explanation: varices

Earlier explanation: bodily water

For varices, see Water and springs.

Context passages: the passage, the passage. These are reading contexts, not additional occurrences of the cited form.

Reference scope: Water and springs already explains the bodily-water phrase and the preserved body–margin discrepancy. The inherited qualification is repeated here for the secure prognosis context, not claimed as a newly discovered distinction.

Access scope (enlarged veins): The supplied editor’s definition of varices, not a claim that fluid and veins are identical or a replacement of the whole prognosis.
