to_o our_o man_n i_o protest_v i_o desire_v not_o such_o a_o good_a fortune_n i_o love_v better_o the_o restlessenesse_n of_o your_o spirit_n than_o the_o tranquillity_n of_o he_o i_o speak_v of_o those_o noble_a care_n which_o knowledge_n bring_v forth_o and_o of_o that_o moderate_a fear_n which_o serve_v but_o to_o awake_v the_o soul_n and_o not_o to_o trouble_v it_o the_o happiness_n of_o these_o people_n whereof_o you_o write_v unto_o i_o be_v like_a to_o that_o of_o man_n asleep_a their_o spirit_n be_v quiet_a because_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o disturbance_n i_o must_v make_v you_o laugh_v as_o i_o conclude_v this_o letter_n at_o a_o comparison_n which_o perhaps_o you_o will_v judge_v a_o little_a too_o high_a for_o i_o it_o seem_v that_o man_n may_v be_v set_v safe_a from_o the_o blow_n of_o misfortune_n as_o from_o those_o of_o thunder_n by_o be_v very_o high_a or_o very_o low_a but_o in_o both_o these_o albeit_o the_o safety_n be_v equal_a the_o glory_n be_v not_o i_o have_v rather_o escape_v a_o tempest_n be_v on_o the_o mount_n olympus_n then_o in_o a_o cave_n and_o to_o talk_v like_o your_o book_n the_o only_a one_o that_o can_v make_v i_o guilty_a of_o theft_n i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o be_v above_o then_o below_o affliction_n and_o be_v thereof_o uncapable_a by_o reason_n rather_o than_o stupidity_n i_o conclude_v this_o then_o beseech_v you_o to_o speak_v no_o more_o of_o that_o matter_n &_o not_o to_o plead_v against_o your_o own_o interest_n in_o quit_v that_o of_o great_a spirit_n you_o have_v thereof_o too_o great_a a_o share_n to_o renounce_v and_o if_o i_o defend_v they_o i_o do_v but_o praise_v a_o good_a which_o you_o possess_v and_o i_o desire_v i_o wish_v as_o many_o good_a term_n to_o express_v my_o thought_n upon_o this_o subject_n as_o i_o have_v desire_n to_o serve_v you_o and_o to_o witness_v on_o all_o occasion_n how_o much_o i_o be_o madam_n your_o most_o affectionate_a etc._n etc._n the_o second_o answer_n she_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o spirit_n have_v also_o the_o least_o molestation_n madam_n write_v what_o you_o list_v for_o great_a spirit_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o they_o have_v more_o glory_n than_o happiness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o have_v great_a splendour_n and_o little_a care_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v much_o esteem_v which_o outshine_v other_o notwithstanding_o i_o think_v that_o with_o all_o this_o advantage_n they_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o bush_n in_o holy_a scripture_n which_o have_v much_o brightness_n but_o yet_o be_v full_a of_o thorn_n there_o be_v indeed_o many_o sharp_a point_n under_o these_o glorious_a ray_n there_o be_v many_o care_n which_o knowledge_n increase_v rather_o than_o cure_v let_v we_o speak_v free_o and_o not_o suffer_v ourselves_o be_v charm_v by_o this_o same_o fair_a appearance_n as_o those_o that_o have_v a_o fever_n will_v willing_o be_v less_o sensible_a that_o they_o may_v be_v less_o torment_v so_o i_o believe_v the_o miserable_a will_v wish_v their_o knowledge_n diminish_v for_o to_o diminish_v their_o affliction_n in_o this_o we_o may_v speak_v of_o spirit_n as_o of_o the_o sense_n the_o most_o delicate_a do_v soon_o feel_v physic_n likewise_o and_o philosophy_n do_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n heal_v the_o unfortunate_a and_o the_o disease_a the_o one_o stupefy_v the_o sense_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o sorrow_n the_o other_o endeavour_n to_o withdraw_v the_o attention_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o sadness_n whence_o you_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o most_o ignorant_a be_v the_o least_o unfortunate_a i_o deny_v not_o but_o there_o be_v some_o which_o lift_v themselves_o above_o misery_n and_o do_v surmount_v it_o but_o i_o think_v these_o be_v very_o rare_a i_o see_v few_o that_o do_v resemble_v you_o and_o to_o tell_v you_o who_o they_o be_v which_o put_v themselves_o to_o most_o pain_n i_o believe_v they_o be_v neither_o the_o great_a nor_o the_o little_a but_o only_o the_o indifferent_a i_o think_v disquiet_a form_n itself_o in_o the_o soul_n as_o cloud_n do_v in_o the_o air_n the_o sun_n sometime_o draw_v up_o vapour_n which_o afterward_o it_o can_v hardly_o disperse_v and_o these_o middling_a spirit_n precipitate_v themselves_o into_o those_o care_n from_o which_o they_o can_v never_o get_v free_a while_o great_a spirit_n overcome_v discontent_a and_o the_o lesser_a know_v it_o not_o the_o middle_a sort_n be_v entangle_v therein_o so_o christianity_n reprobate_n the_o lukewarm_a from_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o morality_n reject_v they_o in_o point_n of_o civil_a felicity_n these_o than_o be_v they_o which_o have_v cause_n to_o complain_v and_o who_o understanding_n seem_v to_o i_o unlucky_a since_o it_o only_o serve_v to_o lead_v they_o into_o many_o labyrinth_n but_o not_o to_o conduct_v they_o out_o have_v i_o not_o then_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o those_o which_o have_v less_o spirit_n have_v less_o pain_n if_o there_o be_v so_o few_o which_o vanquish_a affliction_n be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o i_o follow_v the_o path_n most_o beat_v and_o content_v myself_o by_o ignorance_n to_o be_v below_o evil_a not_o be_v able_a by_o judgement_n to_o lift_v myself_o above_o it_o since_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o low_a wit_n be_v true_a i_o care_v not_o though_o it_o be_v less_o glorious_a than_o that_o of_o great_a sage_n if_o it_o be_v not_o as_o noble_a sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v no_o less_o pure_a no_o less_o real_a i_o speak_v in_o this_o my_o
