and_o after_o i_o have_v assert_v the_o value_n and_o possibility_n of_o happiness_n i_o do_v in_o general_a point_n out_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o our_o ill_a success_n and_o disappointment_n in_o pursuit_n of_o it_o in_o the_o second_o i_o state_n the_o true_a notion_n of_o human_a life_n insist_v upon_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o it_o and_o show_v what_o qualification_n and_o virtue_n the_o active_a and_o contemplative_a life_n demand_v and_o then_o consider_v how_o life_n may_v be_v prolong_v and_o improve_v in_o this_o three_o i_o prosecute_v the_o same_o design_n which_o i_o have_v in_o the_o two_o former_a the_o promote_a human_a happiness_n for_o life_n perfection_n and_o happiness_n have_v a_o close_a and_o inseparable_a dependence_n on_o one_o another_o for_o as_o life_n which_o be_v the_o rational_a exercise_n and_o employment_n of_o our_o power_n and_o faculty_n do_v natural_o advance_v on_o and_o terminate_v in_o perfection_n so_o perfection_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o maturity_n of_o human_a virtue_n do_v natural_o end_v in_o that_o rest_n and_o peace_n that_o tranquillity_n serenity_n and_o joy_n of_o mind_n which_o we_o call_v

practical_o and_o in_o a_o manner_n accommodate_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n the_o perfection_n of_o man_n consist_v in_o such_o endowment_n and_o attainment_n as_o man_n be_v general_o capable_a of_o in_o this_o life_n and_o because_o man_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o in_o relation_n to_o this_o or_o to_o another_o world_n therefore_o human_a perfection_n may_v i_o think_v
