be_v no_o devil_n my_o lord_n who_o do_v not_o confess_v ingenious_o that_o at_o the_o head_n of_o a_o army_n you_o be_v a_o great_a devil_n than_o himself_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o your_o

have_v a_o more_o airy_a shape_n and_o do_v not_o carry_v their_o arm_n in_o a_o scarf_n raillery_n apart_o hell_n be_v extreme_o bias_v in_o your_o favour_n there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n to_o be_v object_v to_o your_o conduct_n and_o that_o be_v the_o little_a care_n that_o you_o sometime_o take_v of_o your_o life_n you_o be_v so_o well_o belove_v in_o this_o country_n that_o they_o do_v desire_v your_o company_n believe_v i_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o in_o the_o other_o world_n a_o demigod_n be_v but_o a_o very_a little_a thing_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a he_o be_v nothing_o like_o what_o he_o be_v when_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o as_o for_o i_o who_o know_v already_o by_o experience_n what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v no_o more_o i_o set_v the_o best_a face_n on_o the_o

unless_o you_o have_v it_o i_o be_o tell_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n to_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n i_o shrewd_o suspect_v that_o you_o have_v at_o least_o the_o gaiety_n of_o it_o for_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v here_o four_o or_o five_o say_n of_o your_o turn_n of_o expression_n which_o i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n i_o have_v say_v and_o for_o which_o i_o will_v

you_o can_v for_o indeed_o you_o can_v imagine_v how_o inconvenient_a it_o be_v not_o to_o have_v all_o one_o wit_n about_o one_o especial_o when_o one_o write_v to_o such_o a_o man_n as_o you_o be_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o my_o style_n at_o present_a be_v so_o alter_v be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o merry_a again_o as_o formerly_z with_o my_o comrade_n le_fw-fr

observator_fw-la i_o find_v the_o author_n reasonable_o complain_v of_o the_o corruption_n of_o history_n by_o the_o french_a and_o give_v a_o reasonable_a guess_n how_o false_a the_o history_n of_o this_o age_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v write_v by_o they_o be_v like_a to_o come_v out_o in_o the_o next_o and_o particular_o what_o monsieur_n pelisson_n history_n of_o the_o present_a king_n of_o

that_o history_n as_o mounseur_fw-fr pelisson_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v in_o the_o enclose_v in_o the_o which_o he_o have_v very_o artful_o insert_v a_o panegyric_n of_o his_o prince_n a_o pattern_n of_o what_o his_o part_n of_o the_o history_n will_v be_v for_o have_v flatter_v his_o master_n in_o this_o small_a panegyric_n we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v flatter_v he_o too_o in_o his_o history_n and_o that_o he_o have_v flatter_v he_o here_o you_o will_v plain_o find_v not_o only_o by_o exaggeration_n which_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o be_v allow_v to_o a_o orator_n but_o in_o affirm_v thing_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n such_o be_v those_o two_o remarkable_a passage_n of_o the_o

and_o of_o his_o bombard_v genoa_n only_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o its_o insolency_n and_o of_o its_o perfidiousness_n which_o every_o man_n who_o have_v hear_v the_o story_n of_o mr._n valdryon_n must_v laugh_v at_o now_o since_o it_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v that_o monsieur_n boileau_n will_v flatter_v he_o in_o his_o history_n because_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o have_v flatter_v he_o in_o his_o panegyric_n what_o be_v we_o to_o expect_v from_o mounseur_fw-fr pelisson_n who_o sincerity_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n so_o much_o talk_v of_o as_o the_o other_o be_v i_o think_v to_o have_v conclude_v here_o but_o it_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n to_o make_v two_o reflection_n upon_o the_o panegyrical_a part_n of_o the_o enclose_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o since_o monsieur_n boileau_n who_o be_v in_o the_o main_a a_o man_n of_o sincerity_n and_o a_o lover_n of_o truth_n can_v not_o but_o flatter_v lewis_n the_o fourteen_o when_o he_o commend_v he_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o give_v he_o a_o general_a commendation_n without_o flattery_n for_o where_o a_o satiric_a poet_n paint_v what_o other_o man_n must_v not_o daub_v the_o second_o reflection_n be_v this_o that_o since_o this_o panegyric_n be_v scarce_o to_o be_v support_v notwithstanding_o the_o most_o admirable_a genius_n of_o the_o author_n which_o shine_v throughout_o it_o and_o a_o art_n to_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v remember_v that_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o original_a and_o beyond_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v desire_v you_o may_v easy_o conclude_v how_o extreme_o fulsome_a the_o rest_n of_o the_o panegyric_n upon_o lewis_n the_o fourteen_o must_n needs_o be_v who_o author_n fall_v infinite_o short_a of_o boileau_n either_o genius_n art_n or_o virtue_n the_o speech_n of_o mons_fw-la boileau_n upon_o his_o admission_n into_o the_o french_a academy_n translate_v by_o mr_n dennis_z gentleman_n the_o honour_n this_o day_n confer_v upon_o i_o be_v something_o so_o great_a so_o extraordinary_a so_o little_o expect_v and_o so_o many_o several_a sort_n of_o reason_n ought_v to_o have_v for_o ever_o exclude_v i_o from_o it_o that_o at_o this_o very_a moment_n in_o which_o i_o return_v my_o acknowledgement_n i_o be_o doubtful_a if_o i_o ought_v to_o believe_v it_o be_v it_o then_o possible_a can_v it_o be_v true_a gentleman_n that_o you_o
