the_o academy_n and_o every_o one_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o a_o particular_a science_n art_n or_o subject_n he_o manage_v it_o as_o regular_o as_o he_o please_v twice_o a_o week_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n we_o have_v as_o many_o different_a lesson_n as_o person_n whereof_o to_o make_v our_o advantage_n and_o all_o the_o virtue_n and_o science_n of_o the_o ancient_n be_v propose_v and_o

that_o much_o or_o little_a of_o all_o these_o particular_a thing_n must_v stick_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o that_o this_o variety_n must_v sweeten_v the_o dryness_n of_o the_o precept_n and_o utter_o

himself_o to_o utter_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_a cream_n of_o what_o he_o have_v be_v able_a to_o gather_v from_o it_o now_o the_o ordinary_a subject_n be_v history_n true_a and_o fabulous_a science_n speculative_a and_o practic_n the_o mathematics_n heraldry_n the_o map_n the_o horoscope_n travel_n and_o merry_a tale_n so_o that_o by_o mean_n of_o conversation_n which_o be_v one_o of_o

book_n in_o the_o head_n of_o our_o co-academicks_a and_o all_o the_o content_n thereof_o in_o their_o mouth_n we_o travel_v upon_o the_o map_n by_o geography_n and_o we_o learn_v the_o manner_n and_o custom_n of_o country_n and_o nation_n by_o the_o variety_n of_o history_n yea_o and_o we_o have_v another_o and_o better_a advantage_n and_o we_o be_v our_o self_n both_o the_o master_n and_o

a_o good_a which_o be_v not_o communicate_v be_v not_o please_v therefore_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o discourse_n and_o speech_n which_o we_o use_v to_o make_v in_o public_a we_o learn_v to_o write_v regular_o and_o by_o frequent_a exercise_n we_o easy_o acquire_v a_o habit_n of_o hide_v the_o defect_n of_o nature_n and_o make_v our_o artificial_a quality_n seem_v proper_a and_o natural_a to_o we_o so_o that_o in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o advantageous_a and_o profitable_a than_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o academy_n in_o regard_n that_o all_o which_o be_v requisite_a to_o

universe_n for_o if_o variety_n make_v beauty_n and_o beauty_n make_v pleasure_n we_o may_v conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o the_o variety_n of_o matter_n which_o we_o handle_v be_v extraordinary_o delectable_a to_o we_o and_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o academy_n contain_v the_o three_o point_n which_o give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o the_o great_a fabric_n of_o civil_a society_n we_o may_v all_o easy_o arrive_v to_o our_o desire_a end_n which_o be_v to_o be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a man_n without_o pass_v through_o those_o thorny_a and_o craggy_a difficulty_n and_o

indeed_o the_o method_n of_o this_o academy_n deserve_v to_o be_v much_o esteem_v and_o the_o particular_a advantage_n draw_v from_o the_o universality_n of_o thing_n teach_v in_o it_o high_o to_o

i_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o false_a appearance_n partiality_n or_o imposture_n in_o it_o that_o but_o that_o it_o afford_v a_o evident_a and_o sensible_a profit_n to_o all_o yet_o will_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o another_o which_o be_v no_o less_o commendable_a albeit_o it_o be_v like_o fair_a face_n quite_o different_a in_o all_o its_o beauty_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o embarass_n so_o many_o

to_o he_o by_o the_o rest_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o must_v wonder_v at_o the_o proposition_n he_o receive_v and_o give_v the_o reason_n also_o why_o he_o wonder_v and_o then_o he_o must_v not_o wonder_v and_o give_v the_o reason_n likewise_o why_o he_o do_v not_o wonder_n for_o example_n one_o will_v say_v to_o i_o sir_n i_o wonder_v that_o the_o sun_n which_o heat_v the_o whole_a world_n have_v no_o heat_n in_o himself_o to_o this_o i_o must_v answer_v that_o i_o wonder_v too_o and_o make_v a_o handsome_a discourse_n to_o warrant_v my_o wonder_n and_o from_o thence_o by_o a_o gentle_a transition_n or_o a_o imperceptible_a passage_n go_v to_o the_o contrary_a sense_n and_o prove_v with_o as_o much_o eloquence_n as_o i_o can_v that_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o wonder_v that_o which_o you_o say_v sir_n reply_v the_o baron_n be_v like_o the_o play_n of_o wonder_n which_o be_v use_v among_o woman_n at_o wake_n and_o other_o petty_a pastime_n it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o counsellor_n that_o this_o form_n of_o discourse_n have_v be_v profane_v in_o those_o petty_a divertisement_n and_o gossiping_n of_o woman_n but_o i_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o question_n among_o they_o be_v various_a or_o learned_a or_o that_o they_o know_v how_o to_o handle_v they_o handsome_o insomuch_o as_o for_o that_o effect_n it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v the_o profundity_n and_o universality_n of_o the_o science_n to_o handle_v they_o regular_o and_o dexterous_o and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v any_o such_o argument_n as_o may_v be_v start_v by_o curiosity_n now_o the_o wonder_n which_o be_v ordinary_o move_v in_o this_o academy_n be_v draw_v from_o natural_a question_n from_o moral_a maxim_n and_o from_o all_o the_o most_o sublime_a and_o speculative_a curiosity_n that_o can_v fall_v under_o a_o nice_a and_o subtle_a judgement_n nor_o be_v it_o enough_o to_o speak_v something_o of_o they_o but_o we_o must_v sound_v the_o bottom_n of_o each_o of_o they_o and_o stay_v a_o good_a while_n upon_o these_o two_o part_n of_o the_o problem_n i_o must_v confess_v say_v the_o baron_n that_o this_o be_v a_o handsome_a order_n but_o not_o so_o profitable_a man._n either_o for_o the_o speaker_n or_o hearer_n as_o that_o of_o the_o academy_n whereof_o i_o tell_v you_o which_o comprehend_v all_o the_o science_n and_o which_o have_v the_o true_a and_o only_a way_n to_o make_v a_o man_n complete_a i_o remember_v say_v the_o count_n that_o you_o say_v that_o read_v travel_n and_o conversation_n make_v a_o man_n complete_a and_o that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o your_o academy_n but_o to_o my_o apprehension_n there_o be_v other_o school_n no_o less_o if_o not_o more_o proper_a then_o that_o which_o be_v the_o court_n the_o camp_n and_o the_o house_n of_o great_a person_n the_o camp_n say_v the_o baron_n be_v include_v in_o travel_n and_o the_o court_n and_o the_o house_n of_o great_a person_n in_o conversation_n for_o there_o be_v a_o frequent_a and_o continual_a resort_n which_o make_v the_o conversation_n both_o strong_a and_o close_o it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o body_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o court_n and_o for_o great_a man_n house_n but_o if_o a_o country_n gentleman_n at_o his_o first_o come_v thither_o find_v himself_o

that_o virtue_n be_v every_o where_o value_v and_o recompense_v and_o that_o those_o barbarian_n be_v more_o mercenary_a than_o we_o reward_v it_o otherwise_o then_o we_o do_v and_o make_v not_o their_o extraction_n like_o we_o from_o a_o different_a source_n and_o therefore_o their_o virtue_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n but_o scaenicall_a specious_a and_o ostentative_a and_o we_o be_v essential_a true_a and_o grass_v upon_o nature_n for_o if_o they_o prove_v able_a to_o derive_v any_o honour_n from_o they_o they_o receive_v it_o for_o the_o most_o part_n from_o that_o of_o the_o

have_v make_v such_o glorious_a conquest_n in_o the_o east_n as_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o he_o will_v have_v pass_v through_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o favour_n as_o of_o a_o janissary_n a_o
