in_o favour_n of_o these_o essay_n to_o know_v what_o we_o shall_v believe_v of_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o necessary_a because_o one_o meet_v with_o frequent_a opportunity_n to_o talk_v of_o this_o author_n his_o book_n be_v almost_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o people_n the_o enemy_n of_o montagne_n tell_v we_o that_o his_o book_n be_v so_o far_o from_o inspire_v his_o reader_n with_o the_o love_n of_o virtue_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a some_o of_o his_o discourse_n be_v stuff_v with_o free_a and_o licentious_a word_n they_o teach_v they_o some_o vice_n of_o which_o they_o be_v ignorant_a or_o else_o be_v the_o occasion_n that_o they_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o speak_v thereof_o and_o at_o last_o induce_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o that_o his_o discourse_n upon_o several_a effect_n of_o nature_n be_v rather_o fit_a to_o divert_v their_o thought_n from_o true_a religion_n than_o to_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o be_v altogether_o unbecoming_a a_o christian_a philosopher_n that_o notwithstanding_o his_o proposition_n and_o assertion_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n weak_a and_o false_a yet_o they_o be_v very_o dangerous_a for_o several_a person_n who_o either_o want_n learning_n or_o have_v too_o great_a a_o bias_n for_o libertinism_n that_o beside_o a_o indifferent_a knowledge_n of_o practical_a moral_n and_o history_n which_o montagne_n have_v acquire_v in_o read_v seneca_n and_o plutarch_n have_v converse_v with_o few_o other_o book_n as_o he_o own_v himself_o he_o have_v hardly_o a_o tincture_n of_o other_o science_n and_o art_n even_o not_o of_o the_o theory_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n that_o he_o be_v as_o ignorant_a in_o other_o part_n of_o philosophy_n as_o physic_n metaphysic_n and_o logic_n which_o do_v sufficient_o appear_v by_o his_o wrong_a inference_n on_o several_a thing_n that_o he_o understand_v very_o little_a what_o we_o call_v humanity_n or_o bell_n lettres_n as_o one_o may_v see_v by_o his_o unpolite_a stile_n and_o the_o confusion_n of_o his_o discourse_n which_o show_v he_o a_o very_a ill_a grammarian_n and_o a_o bad_a rhetorician_n and_o as_o he_o talk_v as_o positive_o and_o bold_o as_o the_o most_o learned_a man_n scaliger_n be_v use_v to_o style_v he_o a_o bold_a ignorant_a these_o angry_a gentleman_n do_v likewise_o pretend_v that_o what_o be_v most_o

be_v take_v out_o of_o his_o book_n the_o rest_n will_v be_v very_o little_a or_o nothing_o at_o all_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o most_o material_a objection_n make_v against_o montagne_n not_o to_o mention_v here_o several_a author_n who_o have_v purposely_o write_v against_o his_o opinion_n as_o mr_n de_fw-fr silhon_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n wherein_o he_o confute_v what_o montagne_n have_v allege_v to_o prove_v that_o brute_n be_v capable_a of_o think_v chanet_fw-la in_o his_o treatise_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o understanding_n quote_v montagne_n essay_n as_o a_o work_n wherein_o judgement_n have_v no_o share_n because_o say_v he_o every_o judicious_a man_n love_v order_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n in_o that_o whole_a book_n have_v thus_o impartial_o relate_v what_o be_v urge_v against_o montagne_n we_o proceed_v now_o to_o mention_v what_o be_v say_v in_o his_o vindication_n and_o we_o may_v here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n make_v use_n of_o the_o long_a preface_n mademoiselle_n de_fw-fr gournay_n have_v prefix_v to_o the_o french_a folio_n edition_n of_o his_o essay_n 1652_o wherein_o she_o do_v not_o only_o give_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o all_o the_o objection_n make_v or_o that_o can_v be_v make_v against_o montagne_n but_o also_o talk_v of_o he_o as_o of_o a_o man_n who_o work_n have_v revive_v truth_n in_o his_o age_n and_o which_o therefore_o she_o call_v the_o quintessence_n of_o philosophy_n the_o hellebore_n of_o man_n folly_n the_o setter_n at_o liberty_n of_o understanding_n and_o the_o judicial_a throne_n of_o reason_n but_o we_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o insist_v upon_o her_o evidence_n for_o notwithstanding_o the_o solid_a argument_n her_o opinion_n be_v ground_v upon_o she_o may_v be_v suspect_v to_o be_v blindfolded_a with_o the_o passionate_a love_n she_o have_v for_o her_o excellent_a father_n and_o beside_o we_o have_v so_o many_o great_a man_n to_o produce_v in_o favour_n of_o montagne_n that_o we_o may_v without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o his_o cause_n wave_v the_o evidence_n of_o mademoiselle_n de_fw-fr gournay_n these_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o he_o have_v handle_v any_o matter_n with_o a_o uncommon_a freedom_n this_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o generous_a temper_n which_o be_v free_a from_o any_o base_a or_o servile_a compliance_n and_o as_o to_o his_o love_n for_o virtue_n and_o his_o religion_n they_o appeal_v to_o his_o very_a book_n itself_o whereby_o that_o truth_n will_v appear_v if_o the_o passage_n allege_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n be_v examine_v without_o partiality_n and_o not_o by_o themselves_o but_o according_a to_o the_o connexion_n they_o have_v with_o what_o precede_v or_o follow_v stephen_n pasquier_n that_o sincere_a writer_n deal_v more_o fair_o with_o montagne_n than_o silhon_n balzac_n or_o any_o other_o of_o his_o opposer_n for_o he_o do_v not_o conceal_v his_o fault_n nor_o pass_v by_o what_o may_v be_v say_v to_o attenuate_v or_o excuse_v they_o montagne_n say_v he_o in_o one_o of_o his_o letter_n have_v several_a chapter_n whereof_o the_o body_n be_v no_o way_n answerable_a to_o the_o head_n witness_v these_o follow_v the_o history_n of_o spurina_n of_o the_o resemblance_n of_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n of_o the_o verse_n of_o virgil_n of_o coach_n of_o lame_a people_n of_o vanity_n and_o physiognomy_n these_o be_v incoherent_a thing_n wherein_o the_o author_n run_v from_o one_o subject_n to_o another_o without_o any_o order_n or_o connexion_n but_o after_o all_o we_o must_v take_v of_o montagne_n what_o be_v good_a and_o not_o look_v upon_o his_o title_n but_o into_o his_o discourse_n for_o possible_o he_o design_v to_o laugh_v at_o himself_o other_o and_o humane_a capacity_n slight_v thus_o the_o rule_n and_o servile_a law_n of_o author_n i_o shall_v add_v on_o this_o point_n that_o notwithstanding_o several_a of_o his_o discourse_n do_v contain_v quite_o different_a thing_n from_o what_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o title_n as_o pasquier_n have_v observe_v it_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o always_o happen_v so_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v it_o methinks_v it_o be_v rather_o through_o affectation_n than_o inadvertency_n to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o make_v a_o regular_a work_n this_o do_v likewise_o appear_v by_o the_o odd_a or_o rather_o fantastical_a connexion_n of_o his_o discourse_n wherein_o from_o one_o matter_n he_o make_v long_a digression_n upon_o several_a other_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o think_v that_o one_o may_v take_v the_o same_o liberty_n in_o his_o meditation_n as_o be_v assume_v in_o common_a conversation_n in_o which_o though_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o interlocutor_n it_o be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o variety_n in_o their_o discourse_n that_o if_o they_o be_v set_v down_o in_o writing_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o by_o digression_n they_o be_v run_v away_o from_o their_o first_o subject_n and_o that_o the_o last_o part_n of_o their_o conversation_n be_v very_o little_a answerable_a to_o the_o first_o this_o i_o very_o believe_v be_v his_o true_a intention_n that_o he_o may_v present_v the_o world_n with_o a_o free_a and_o original_a work_n for_o chance_v nor_o any_o other_o of_o his_o adversary_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o this_o proceed_v from_o want_n of_o judgement_n in_o a_o man_n of_o such_o part_n as_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o own_o in_o montagne_n he_o design_v also_o sometime_o to_o conceal_v his_o design_n in_o his_o title_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o his_o three_o book_n when_o have_v spend_v almost_o a_o whole_a chapter_n against_o physician_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o his_o intention_n be_v to_o conceal_v it_o by_o intitle_v the_o same_o of_o the_o resemblance_n of_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n for_o this_o give_v he_o a_o opportunity_n to_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v afflict_v with_o the_o gravel_n as_o his_o father_n be_v and_o to_o discourse_v of_o the_o cure_n of_o several_a distemper_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o physic_n or_o rather_o of_o the_o ignorance_n of_o physician_n from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o in_o this_o whole_a chapter_n and_o several_a other_o there_o be_v rather_o a_o resin_v art_n than_o ignorance_n it_o have_v be_v also_o
