imperceivable_a by_o the_o continuance_n of_o its_o action_n as_o we_o say_v and_o so_o beget_v sleep_n or_o else_o be_v it_o that_o the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o noise_n of_o a_o brook_n or_o a_o fountain_n be_v a_o pleasure_n pure_o sensual_a and_o of_o the_o ear_n only_o but_o that_o the_o pleasure_n which_o the_o harmony_n of_o a_o musical_a instrument_n create_v be_v

very_o unfortunate_a if_o we_o search_v why_o we_o aggravate_v our_o misfortune_n we_o can_v deceive_v ourselves_o in_o say_v it_o be_v to_o persuade_v other_o that_o we_o be_v very_o unfortunate_a but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a difficulty_n to_o know_v for_o what_o reason_n we_o desire_v they_o shall_v believe_v so_o because_o oftentimes_o they_o be_v person_n that_o we_o do_v not_o hope_v to_o receive_v any_o succour_n from_o and_o that_o our_o very_a misery_n render_v we_o less_o able_a to_o be_v useful_a to_o other_o may_v hinder_v many_o base_a and_o mercenary_a mind_n from_o do_v we_o any_o good_a to_o inquire_v then_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o humour_n of_o the_o afflict_a be_v it_o not_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o they_o be_v never_o assure_v that_o any_o man_n may_v not_o for_o the_o future_a be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o help_v he_o and_o therefore_o they_o tell_v their_o misfortune_n to_o all_o they_o see_v and_o aggravate_v they_o to_o they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o hereafter_o they_o shall_v discover_v any_o mean_n to_o succour_v they_o the_o pity_n which_o they_o have_v raise_v in_o they_o may_v present_o produce_v its_o effect_n or_o else_o do_v they_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o that_o come_v near_o they_o know_v their_o evil_n and_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v very_o great_a thereby_o to_o incite_v they_o to_o give_v they_o some_o consolation_n or_o do_v they_o not_o hope_n that_o he_o to_o who_o they_o have_v aggravate_v their_o misery_n if_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v they_o may_v at_o the_o least_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o that_o these_o prayer_n may_v prevail_v with_o the_o divine_a goodness_n or_o else_o do_v they_o not_o desire_v that_o those_o very_a person_n from_o who_o they_o can_v hope_v for_o any_o succour_n shall_v bemoan_v they_o for_o that_o they_o think_v that_o some_o body_n else_o that_o shall_v have_v the_o mean_n to_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o misery_n will_v do_v it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o willing_o if_o he_o see_v that_o many_o person_n do_v compassionate_a he_o and_o be_v affect_v therewith_o because_o the_o more_o general_a the_o good_a be_v which_o we_o be_v entreat_v to_o do_v and_o the_o more_o person_n it_o regard_v the_o more_o ready_a be_v we_o to_o do_v it_o or_o else_o be_v it_o that_o to_o be_v belove_v be_v in_o itself_o a_o good_a we_o do_v therefore_o exaggerate_v our_o misery_n thereby_o to_o raise_v pity_n and_o by_o pity_n love_n because_o we_o know_v natural_o that_o pity_n be_v so_o near_o to_o love_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a then_o to_o slip_v from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o or_o else_o do_v we_o not_o desire_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v believe_v that_o we_o suffer_v very_o much_o because_o we_o desire_v he_o shall_v talk_v much_o and_o long_a of_o we_o both_o while_o we_o live_v and_o after_o our_o death_n and_o that_o we_o foresee_v that_o man_n will_v talk_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o we_o as_o they_o think_v that_o our_o misery_n have_v be_v great_a or_o be_v it_o not_o out_o of_o a_o vain_a affectation_n of_o glory_n which_o be_v annex_v to_o constancy_n and_o to_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n admire_v by_o other_o that_o we_o paint_v forth_o as_o very_o excessive_a incomparable_a and_o in_o a_o word_n much_o great_a than_o they_o be_v the_o evil_n which_o man_n see_v we_o suffer_v with_o so_o much_o patience_n our_o vanity_n be_v so_o essential_a and_o unite_a to_o our_o soul_n that_o grief_n itself_o can_v expel_v it_o and_o that_o that_o accompany_v it_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o torment_n upon_o the_o rack_n and_o at_o the_o stake_n as_o the_o stoic_n say_v of_o their_o wiseman_n happiness_n or_o else_o do_v we_o aggravate_v our_o misery_n because_o through_o humane_a weakness_n we_o do_v in_o our_o misery_n many_o time_n think_v that_o the_o providence_n which_o govern_v the_o universe_n do_v we_o some_o kind_n of_o wrong_n and_o that_o to_o prove_v it_o we_o dare_v not_o allege_v our_o perfection_n and_o our_o innocence_n but_o we_o allege_v only_o the_o evil_n which_o it_o send_v we_o which_o we_o say_v be_v great_a than_o all_o that_o ever_o man_n suffer_v or_o else_o because_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o thing_n have_v their_o course_n in_o the_o world_n and_o succeed_v one_o another_o do_v we_o not_o for_o this_o reason_n delight_n to_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o we_o have_v be_v for_o the_o time_n pass_v very_o unhappy_a to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n hope_n of_o be_v happy_a for_o the_o future_a and_o of_o see_v our_o felicity_n return_v in_o its_o course_n as_o the_o day_n return_v after_o night_n summer_n after_o winter_n and_o fair_a weather_n after_o a_o long_a storm_n or_o as_o caesar_n very_o wise_o paint_v forth_o to_o his_o soldier_n the_o enemy_n force_n much_o great_a than_o they_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o afterward_o see_v they_o less_o they_o shall_v less_o fear_v they_o and_o be_v provide_v of_o resolution_n and_o courage_n more_o then_o enough_o do_v not_o our_o soul_n by_o a_o like_a artifice_n fain_o to_o its_o self_n its_o misfortune_n great_a than_o they_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o afterward_o return_v to_o consider_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o business_n it_o may_v receive_v some_o comfort_n in_o undeceive_v its_o self_n and_o that_o when_o the_o violence_n of_o its_o evil_n shall_v return_v to_o oppress_v it_o it_o may_v have_v lay_v in_o a_o large_a provision_n of_o courage_n and_o find_v its_o self_n provide_v of_o more_o constancy_n than_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o undergo_n of_o it_o or_o else_o do_v we_o not_o aggravate_v our_o misery_n to_o provoke_v ourselves_o to_o weep_v more_o abundant_o because_o we_o find_v that_o tear_n be_v a_o refreshment_n to_o we_o and_o therefore_o also_o in_o tragedy_n afflict_a person_n do_v common_o exhort_v one_o another_o to_o shed_v abundance_n of_o tear_n or_o else_o to_o conclude_v do_v we_o thus_o aggravate_v our_o evil_n because_o we_o think_v that_o great_a and_o excellent_a thing_n have_v only_o great_a destiny_n either_o in_o good_a or_o evil_n it_o be_v some_o token_n of_o elevation_n and_o excellence_n to_o have_v be_v exercise_v by_o great_a evil_n if_o any_o man_n object_n to_o i_o that_o herein_o we_o shall_v make_v but_o a_o simple_a consequence_n i_o do_v free_o confess_v it_o but_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v also_o grant_v i_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n have_v very_o many_o weakness_n and_o folly_n and_o especial_o that_o he_o be_v so_o passionate_a for_o his_o own_o excellence_n that_o he_o let_v not_o slip_v by_o in_o vain_a the_o least_o shadow_n of_o the_o least_o mark_n that_o he_o can_v give_v to_o himself_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v many_o man_n blame_v themselves_o for_o have_v a_o bad_a memory_n that_o from_o thence_o they_o may_v draw_v some_o advantage_n for_o their_o judgement_n because_o though_o they_o see_v this_o consequence_n can_v but_o be_v very_o weak_a since_o that_o there_o be_v everywhere_o thousand_o of_o blockhead_n that_o have_v neither_o memory_n nor_o judgement_n yet_o they_o think_v that_o this_o be_v some_o slight_a sign_n of_o it_o because_o of_o a_o opinion_n that_o be_v receive_v by_o many_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o truth_n whereof_o we_o do_v not_o here_o examine_v and_o that_o which_o
