to_o what_o degree_n of_o perfection_n they_o arrive_v i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v he_o the_o most_o exact_a description_n thereof_o that_o possible_o i_o can_v in_o all_o these_o different_a

first_o place_n the_o climate_n of_o italy_n be_v so_o sultry_a hot_a that_o it_o be_v not_o very_o please_v to_o apply_v one_o self_n a_o long_a time_n to_o one_o thing_n a_o too_o obstinate_a and_o continue_a application_n do_v so_o agitate_v the_o spirit_n and_o put_v they_o into_o such_o a_o effervescency_n say_v they_o that_o many_o of_o they_o will_v fear_v the_o over-heating_a of_o their_o

italian_n be_v somewhat_o too_o nice_a and_o delicate_a in_o this_o point_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o italian_n not_o have_v the_o patience_n to_o examine_v a_o question_n to_o the_o bottom_n choose_v rather_o to_o suppose_v it_o such_o as_o it_o be_v give_v they_o than_o to_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o penetrate_v it_o themselves_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v
