if_o it_o be_v not_o stop_v but_o if_o it_o can_v have_v its_o way_n it_o become_v adult_n and_o thereby_o malign_v and_o venomous_a so_o ambitious_a man_n if_o they_o find_v their_o way_n open_a to_o their_o rise_n and_o still_o get_v forward_o they_o be_v rather_o busy_a than_o dangerous_a but_o if_o they_o be_v check_v in_o their_o desire_n they_o become_v secret_o discontent_a and_o look_v upon_o man_n and_o master_n with_o a_o evil_a eye_n and_o be_v best_a please_v when_o thing_n go_v backward_o which_o be_v the_o worst_a property_n in_o a_o servant_n of_o a_o prince_n or_o state_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o prince_n if_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o make_v use_n of_o ambitious_a man_n to_o handle_v they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v still_o progressive_a and_o not_o retrogade_n affliction_n i._o under_o what_o disguise_n soever_o we_o conceal_v our_o affliction_n they_o seldom_o proceed_v but_o either_o from_o vanity_n or_o interest_n ii_o there_o be_v in_o our_o affliction_n several_a kind_n of_o hypocrisy_n sometime_o we_o weep_v for_o ourselves_o under_o colour_n of_o weep_v for_o our_o friend_n we_o lament_v the_o loss_n of_o the_o good_a opinion_n they_o have_v of_o we_o we_o bewail_v the_o diminution_n of_o our_o advantage_n pleasure_n and_o credit_n thus_o the_o dead_a have_v the_o honour_n of_o those_o tear_n which_o indeed_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o live_n i_o call_v this_o a_o sort_n of_o hypocrisy_n because_o in_o these_o affliction_n people_n impose_v upon_o themselves_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n not_o so_o harmless_a as_o this_o because_o it_o impose_v upon_o all_o the_o world_n i_o mean_v the_o affliction_n of_o those_o who_o have_v the_o vanity_n of_o value_v themselves_o upon_o a_o deep_a and_o desperate_a sorrow_n when_o time_n the_o great_a physician_n of_o sorrow_n have_v wear_v off_o their_o real_a grief_n they_o do_v not_o leave_v off_o be_v obstinate_a in_o cry_v sob_v groan_a and_o lament_v and_o with_o a_o mournful_a and_o melancholy_a countenance_n endeavour_n to_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o nothing_o but_o death_n will_v end_v their_o affliction_n this_o dismal_a and_o troublesome_a vanity_n be_v most_o prevail_a with_o ambitious_a woman_n for_o their_o sex_n render_v they_o unable_a to_o advance_v themselves_o by_o eminent_a virtue_n they_o strive_v to_o signalise_v their_o reputation_n by_o the_o pageantry_n of_o a_o inconsolable_a sorrow_n there_o be_v still_o another_o sort_n of_o tear_n which_o flow_v from_o shallow_a spring_n will_v run_v and_o dry_a up_o very_o easy_o man_n weep_v sometime_o to_o gain_v the_o reputation_n of_o good-nature_n and_o tenderness_n sometime_o to_o be_v pity_v and_o lament_v by_o other_o and_o sometime_o to_o avoid_v the_o shame_n of_o be_v account_v insensible_a iii_o some_o man_n be_v more_o miss_v than_o lament_v and_o other_o again_o be_v very_o much_o lament_v and_o very_o little_o miss_v iv_o our_o affliction_n for_o a_o dead_a friend_n be_v great_a or_o small_a not_o according_a to_o his_o merit_n but_o the_o opinion_n we_o think_v he_o have_v of_o our_o desert_n v._o a_o pretty_a house_n a_o fine_a horse_n a_o dog_n a_o watch_n any_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o our_o share_n be_v enough_o sometime_o to_o soften_v a_o great_a grief_n and_o lessen_v the_o sense_n of_o a_o great_a loss_n vi_o the_o duty_n of_o interment_n be_v call_v the_o last_o duty_n for_o beyond_o the_o funeral_n all_o that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o dead_a be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o living-lamentation_n that_o be_v too_o long_o not_o only_o prejudice_v nature_n but_o society_n likewise_o they_o render_v we_o incapable_a of_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o civil_a life_n and_o one_o may_v say_v that_o out_o of_o complaisance_n to_o those_o friend_n we_o have_v lose_v they_o make_v we_o want_v to_o those_o we_o still_o enjoy_v vii_o a_o skilful_a co●●orter_n must_v begin_v by_o the_o aggravation_n of_o evil_n to_o obtain_v a_o free_a admittance_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o afflict_a and_o to_o surprise_v their_o belief_n *_o viii_o to_o mourn_v without_o measure_n be_v folly_n nor_o to_o mourn_v at_o all_o insensibility_n the_o best_a temper_n be_v betwixt_o piety_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v sensible_a but_o neither_o to_o be_v transport_v nor_o cast_v down_o *_o ix_o most_o people_n show_v in_o their_o affliction_n more_o ambition_n than_o piety_n for_o when_o any_o body_n be_v within_o hear_v what_o groan_v and_o outcry_n do_v they_o make_v but_o when_o they_o be_v alone_o and_o in_o private_a all_o be_v hush_a and_o quiet_a so_o soon_o as_o any_o body_n come_v in_o they_o be_v at_o it_o again_o but_o their_o sorrow_n go_v off_o with_o the_o company_n *_o x._o the_o most_o desperate_a mourner_n be_v they_o who_o care_v least_o for_o their_o friend_n for_o they_o think_v to_o redeem_v their_o credit_n for_o want_v of_o kindness_n to_o the_o live_n by_o extravagant_a rave_n after_o the_o dead_a *_o xi_o to_o weep_v excessive_o for_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o affront_n to_o the_o live_n age_n of_o life_n i._o our_o life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o perpetual_a change_n and_o revolution_n we_o come_v altogether_o fresh_a and_o raw_a into_o the_o several_a period_n of_o it_o and_o want_v often_o experience_v instead_o of_o gray-hair_n ii_o young_a people_n change_v their_o taste_n and_o inclination_n by_o the_o mettle_n and_o heat_n of_o blood_n and_o old_a one_o keep_v to_o they_o by_o the_o sullenness_n of_o habit_n and_o custom_n iii_o youth_n be_v a_o perpetual_a debauchery_n and_o the_o very_a fever_n of_o reason_n iv_o the_o lukewarmness_n of_o old-age_n be_v as_o great_a a_o foil_n to_o a_o man_n salvation_n as_o the_o heat_n and_o passion_n of_o youth_n v._o young_a man_n that_o come_v first_o upon_o the_o stage_n of_o the_o world_n aught_o to_o be_v either_o very_a modest_a or_o very_a brisk_a for_o a_o sober_a grave_a and_o compose_v temper_n common_o turn_v to_o impertinence_n vi_o old_a people_n love_v mighty_o to_o give_v good_a advice_n to_o comfort_v themselves_o of_o their_o incapacity_n of_o set_v ill_a example_n vii_o both_o wisdom_n and_o folly_n grow_v still_o proportionable_o with_o age._n viii_o most_o man_n show_v upon_o the_o turn_n of_o their_o age_n where_o their_o mind_n and_o body_n will_v begin_v to_o decay_v ix_o nothing_o be_v more_o ridiculous_a in_o old_a people_n that_o have_v be_v handsome_a former_o than_o to_o forget_v that_o they_o be_v so_o no_o more_o x._o it_o be_v a_o hard_a lesson_n to_o learn_v how_o to_o be_v old_a xi_o old_a age_n be_v a_o tyrant_n that_o forbid_v we_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o youth_n upon_o the_o severe_a penalty_n xii_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o life_n wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o study_v our_o own_o humour_n with_o more_o application_n than_o in_o old-age_n for_o it_o be_v never_o so_o difficult_a to_o be_v discover_v as_o then_o a_o impetuous_a young_a fellow_n have_v a_o hundred_o return_n when_o he_o be_v dissatisfy_v with_o his_o extravagance_n but_o old_a people_n devote_v themselves_o to_o their_o humour_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o their_o own_o defect_n because_o they_o carry_v a_o false_a resemblance_n of_o commendable_a quality_n they_o be_v perpetual_o cry_v up_o the_o time-past_a and_o envious_o condemn_v the_o present_a they_o rail_v at_o pleasure_n when_o they_o be_v pass_v they_o or_o censure_v diversion_n who_o only_a fault_n be_v their_o own_o incapacity_n a_o serious_a air_n pass_v with_o they_o for_o judgement_n phlegm_n for_o wisdom_n and_o hence_o proceed_v that_o imperious_a authority_n they_o allow_v themselves_o to_o censure_v every_o thing_n xiii_o we_o see_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a for_o old_a man_n than_o to_o desire_v a_o retirement_n and_o nothing_o so_o rare_a with_o they_o as_o not_o to_o repent_v of_o it_o when_o they_o be_v once_o retire_v their_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o too_o great_a a_o subjection_n to_o their_o humour_n be_v disgu_v with_o the_o world_n for_o be_v tiresome_a but_o scarce_o can_v they_o quit_v this_o false_a object_n of_o their_o misfortune_n but_o they_o be_v as_o angry_a with_o solitude_n as_o they_o be_v with_o the_o world_n disquiet_v themselves_o where_o nothing_o but_o themselves_o can_v give_v they_o any_o disquiet_n fourteen_o scarce_o do_v we_o begin_v to_o grow_v old_a but_o we_o begin_v to_o be_v displease_v with_o some_o distaste_n which_o we_o secret_o frame_v in_o ourselves_o then_o our_o soul_n free_a from_o self_n love_n be_v easy_o fill_v with_o that_o which_o be_v suggest_v to_o we_o and_o what_o will_v have_v please_v we_o before_o but_o indifferent_o charm_v we_o at_o
