conclusion_n as_o spare_v the_o trouble_n of_o a_o further_a answer_n than_o that_o her_o mother_n have_v make_v she_o take_v a_o wicked_a oath_n and_o she_o hold_v herself_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o you_o may_v well_o divine_a what_o a_o reception_n you_o be_v like_a to_o meet_v with_o yet_o it_o be_v generous_o do_v to_o go_v yourself_o and_o own_o to_o their_o face_n your_o real_a sense_n of_o their_o behaviour_n and_o what_o it_o have_v force_v you_o to_o resolve_v upon_o since_o they_o have_v neither_o by_o word_n nor_o action_n give_v you_o the_o least_o temptation_n to_o trespass_n upon_o your_o friend_n for_o their_o sake_n and_o as_o you_o be_v treat_v with_o passion_n on_o their_o side_n what_o need_v of_o apology_n sure_o if_o ever_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o it_o it_o be_v when_o all_o the_o law_n of_o conjugal_a affection_n be_v break_v and_o by_o the_o instigation_n of_o a_o mother_n that_o have_v hire_v her_o daughter_n with_o deceitful_a promise_n to_o

assist_v you_o that_o have_v marry_v her_o danghter_n and_o to_o who_o she_o be_v indebt_v by_o promise_n at_o her_o death_n a_o far_o great_a sum_n this_o uncharitable_a mind_n to_o say_v the_o

look_v so_o monstrous_a in_o your_o eye_n especial_o your_o wife_n crime_n be_v much_o great_a than_o her_o mother_n who_o influence_n and_o authority_n can_v no_o way_n excuse_v she_o for_o have_v her_o design_n in_o marry_v you_o be_v only_o for_o a_o jointure_n which_o be_v plain_a enough_o yet_o who_o will_v reject_v the_o opportunity_n of_o live_v happy_a till_o her_o jointure_n fall_v which_o you_o offer_v she_o upon_o such_o easy_a term_n and_o how_o ridiculous_a she_o make_v herself_o in_o the_o condition_n she_o choose_v and_o prefer_v before_o a_o cohabitation_n with_o her_o

run_v through_o all_o difficulty_n with_o a_o steady_a mind_n and_o can_v you_o have_v dispense_v with_o the_o pay_v of_o your_o debt_n your_o proposal_n have_v never_o come_v to_o raise_v such_o a_o storm_n but_o it_o be_v a_o most_o stupendous_a wickedness_n as_o your_o wife_n and_o mother_n think_v honest_o to_o seek_v the_o mean_n of_o pay_v once_o debt_n their_o carriage_n in_o this_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o keep_v one_o money_n unjust_o as_o to_o get_v it_o so_o and_o true_o sir_n as_o i_o desire_v to_o maintain_v a_o inviolable_a friendship_n with_o you_o to_o the_o end_n of_o my_o life_n i_o be_o in_o no_o danger_n of_o lose_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o blame_v you_o for_o publish_v your_o case_n you_o say_v well_o you_o have_v try_v all_o other_o

you_o be_v felo-de-se_a upon_o your_o own_o reputation_n to_o save_v a_o phantom_n for_o i_o believe_v they_o have_v none_o to_o lose_v nor_o have_v not_o have_v a_o great_a while_n and_o now_o i_o can_v for_o bear_v remember_v you_o what_o a_o high_a esteem_v you_o ever_o have_v of_o wedlock_n that_o i_o can_v never_o sway_v you_o to_o my_o opinion_n of_o it_o which_o you_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o kind_n of_o cowardice_n in_o i_o but_o i_o assure_v you_o the_o world_n be_v now_o aware_a of_o widow_n that_o love_v money_n though_o perhaps_o it_o be_v not_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o such_o honest_a well_o mean_v man_n as_o yourself_o that_o suspect_v no_o more_o deceit_n in_o other_o than_o you_o find_v in_o your_o own_o breast_n but_o now_o you_o see_v what_o work_n they_o make_v with_o such_o a_o one_o when_o in_o their_o power_n but_o there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o those_o and_o they_o may_v set_v their_o snare_n long_o enough_o ere_o they_o get_v any_o other_o and_o it_o will_v be_v long_o before_o the_o world_n will_v be_v overstocked_a with_o rich_a widow_n sir_n i_o hearty_o wish_v a_o speedy_a end_n of_o your_o trouble_n and_o as_o of_o all_o man_n you_o deserve_v a_o good_a wife_n because_o you_o know_v how_o to_o value_v she_o so_o since_o it_o be_v your_o fortune_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v find_v the_o way_n of_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o a_o bad_a one._n but_o as_o you_o well_o observe_v have_v you_o the_o best_a cause_n in_o the_o world_n you_o must_v expect_v that_o man_n of_o a_o narrow_a soul_n will_v be_v raise_v of_o lie_n and_o say_v that_o which_o when_o you_o appear_v they_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o own_o all_o man_n adore_v the_o rise_a sun_n but_o few_o have_v any_o great_a respect_n for_o his_o set_v except_o in_o your_o case_n which_o be_v so_o just_a and_o honourable_a that_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o doubt_v the_o honesty_n of_o that_o man_n that_o do_v not_o become_v your_o friend_n whatever_o he_o may_v be_v before_o upon_o read_v your_o case_n if_o any_o be_v your_o enemy_n it_o will_v be_v only_o those_o who_o you_o have_v oblige_v beyond_o any_o possibility_n of_o requital_n as_o to_o those_o you_o have_v be_v so_o often_o bind_v for_o or_o for_o their_o relation_n which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n the_o very_a stone_n in_o the_o street_n will_v cry_v shame_n on_o they_o shall_v they_o speak_v against_o you_o but_o it_o be_v well_o know_v they_o be_v person_n of_o a_o more_o noble_a temper_n then_o to_o act_v such_o a_o mean_a part_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o possibility_n they_o shall_v for_o that_o part_n of_o your_o case_n relate_v to_o mr._n john_n white_a though_o but_o brief_o hint_v in_o your_o letter_n to_o mr._n larkin_n be_v large_o prove_v in_o the_o letter_n you_o afterward_o send_v to_o his_o widow_n which_o letter_n i_o have_v see_v and_o be_v it_o print_v it_o will_v convince_v the_o world_n as_o it_o do_v i_o that_o you_o have_v say_v too_o little_a and_o be_v very_o kind_a upon_o that_o head_n thus_o have_v i_o send_v you_o my_o thought_n on_o your_o print_a case_n but_o this_o solemn_a time_n of_o devotion_n take_v up_o so_o much_o of_o it_o i_o have_v very_o little_a to_o spare_v for_o these_o reflection_n but_o because_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o work_n of_o charity_n i_o do_v make_v bold_a to_o borrow_v more_o than_o i_o will_v have_v do_v on_o any_o ordinary_a occasion_n and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v say_v something_o to_o every_o point_n at_o least_o the_o most_o considerable_a how_o serviceable_a it_o may_v prove_v i_o know_v not_o nor_o what_o to_o wish_v for_o you_o i_o pity_v you_o which_o way_n soever_o it_o happen_v i_o see_v no_o pleasant_a prospect_n on_o either_o side_n unless_o they_o can_v muster_v up_o some_o good_a quality_n for_o which_o you_o can_v find_v in_o your_o heart_n to_o dote_v upon_o they_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o have_v bad_a one_o enough_o to_o vex_v your_o patience_n and_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o part_v from_o a_o wife_n for_o any_o cause_n except_o adultery_n or_o fear_v of_o one_o life_n and_o in_o such_o a_o covetous_a woman_n that_o love_v only_o her_o jointure_n there_o
