be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o propriety_n in_o that_o no_o man_n will_v know_v his_o own_o child_n nor_o be_v sure_a to_o enjoy_v his_o own_o wife_n or_o that_o woman_n he_o make_v choice_n of_o as_o for_o theft_n and_o murder_n they_o be_v not_o of_o that_o sort_v to_o be_v name_v vice_n only_o but_o damnable_a sin_n wherein_o can_v neither_o be_v society_n safety_n nor_o security_n of_o life_n for_o thief_n and_o murderer_n endeavour_v a_o utter_a destruction_n without_o mercy_n or_o remorse_n wherefore_o since_o vice_n and_o sin_n be_v vice_n and_o sin_n for_o their_o hurt_a and_o evil_a effect_n those_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v vanity_n which_o produce_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n without_o death_n and_o destruction_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v against_o for_o

honest_a harmless_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n as_o if_o they_o be_v sin_n to_o god_n and_o nature_n as_o if_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n shall_v make_v sense_n and_o appetite_n in_o vain_a or_o only_o to_o the_o hurt_a and_o dislike_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o not_o for_o their_o good_a and_o pleasure_n as_o to_o make_v a_o body_n for_o pain_n and_o sickness_n and_o not_o for_o health_n and_o ease_n and_o to_o make_v a_o mind_n for_o trouble_n and_o discontent_n and_o not_o for_o peace_n and_o tranqullity_n to_o make_v desire_n but_o not_o fruition_n indeed_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n be_v more_o just_a to_o mankind_n for_o as_o they_o have_v make_v eye_n and_o see_v so_o they_o have_v make_v light_n splendour_n and_o beauty_n to_o be_v see_v and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v ear_n to_o hear_v so_o they_o have_v make_v harmony_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v nostril_n to_o smell_v so_o they_o have_v make_v perfume_v to_o be_v smell_v and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v taste_n so_o they_o have_v make_v relish_v and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v hunger_n so_o they_o have_v make_v food_n and_o as_o they_o have_v make_v appetite_n so_o they_o have_v give_v satisfaction_n or_o satiety_n thus_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o every_o particular_a sense_n be_v fit_v or_o match_v to_o particular_a pleasure_n but_o because_o nature_n have_v make_v some_o aversion_n therefore_o moralist_n and_o divine_n will_v not_o have_v man_n enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n in_o nature_n whereas_o the_o most_o rational_a man_n perceive_v that_o aversion_n be_v only_o make_v to_o heighten_v and_o redouble_a the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n both_o of_o body_n and_o mind_n but_o these_o man_n be_v so_o rigid_a in_o their_o doctrine_n i_o will_v not_o say_v in_o their_o own_o particular_a practice_n as_o they_o will_v have_v man_n choose_v the_o worst_a part_n and_o refuse_v the_o better_a and_o will_v have_v all_o mankind_n struggle_v strive_v and_o oppose_v all_o nature_n delight_n and_o benefit_n the_o truth_n be_v they_o seem_v to_o desire_v a_o perpetual_a war_n between_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o object_n as_o also_o between_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o body_n as_o between_o the_o reason_n and_o sense_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n their_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o sense_n nor_o reason_n and_o their_o author_n will_v have_v as_o little_o if_o they_o shall_v practise_v what_o they_o preach_v wherefore_o noble_a citizen_n my_o advise_v be_v that_o you_o take_v your_o pleasure_n yet_o so_o as_o you_o may_v enjoy_v they_o long_o as_o to_o warm_a yourselves_o not_o to_o burn_v yourselves_o to_o view_v the_o light_n but_o not_o to_o gaze_v out_o your_o sight_n to_o bath_n yourselves_o but_o not_o to_o drown_v yourselves_o to_o
