subject_a i_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o speak_v at_o large_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o passion_n to_o explain_v they_o every_o one_o particular_o to_o tell_v what_o be_v their_o several_a object_n what_o raise_v and_o what_o assuage_n they_o but_o this_o will_v be_v to_o stuff_n into_o this_o art_n both_o natural_a and_o moral_a philosophy_n which_o can_v be_v do_v without_o confusion_n nevertheless_o i_o can_v excuse_v myself_o from_o speak_v more_o exact_o of_o some_o of_o the_o passion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o admiration_n esteem_v contempt_n and_o laughter_n which_o be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o the_o art_n of_o persuasion_n admiration_n be_v a_o motion_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o convert_v it_o upon_o some_o extraordinary_a object_n and_o incline_v it_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o say_a object_n be_v good_a or_o bad_a that_o it_o may_v either_o pursue_v or_o avoid_v it_o it_o be_v of_o importance_n to_o a_o orator_n to_o excite_v this_o passion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o auditory_a truth_n persuade_v but_o first_o it_o must_v be_v know_v and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v it_o be_v necessary_a he_o to_o who_o we_o declare_v it_o apply_v himself_o to_o understand_v it_o we_o see_v every_o day_n many_o argument_n reject_v that_o be_v afterward_o approve_v because_o at_o that_o time_n we_o be_v not_o at_o leisure_n to_o examine_v they_o there_o be_v several_a opinion_n that_o after_o they_o have_v be_v neglect_v and_o lie_v dormant_a several_a age_n have_v revive_v again_o and_o make_v a_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n because_o they_o be_v study_v and_o by_o study_v it_o be_v that_o we_o know_v the_o truth_n or_o falsity_n of_o they_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o therefore_o to_o produce_v good_a argument_n to_o deliver_v they_o with_o clearness_n and_o perspicuity_n but_o we_o must_v use_v they_o with_o extraordinary_a address_n that_o may_v surprise_v the_o hearer_n make_v he_o admire_v and_o draw_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n upon_o we_o i_o have_v read_v in_o a_o certain_a author_n of_o a_o witty_a man_n who_o have_v often_o present_v himself_o before_o his_o prince_n about_o some_o affair_n that_o concern_v he_o

and_o it_o succeed_v as_o he_o design_v for_o the_o oddness_n of_o his_o habit_n have_v stir_v the_o curiosity_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o carry_v he_o to_o he_o to_o inquire_v who_o he_o be_v he_o
