stage_n but_o as_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o work_n have_v be_v do_v to_o my_o hand_n by_o the_o ingenious_a author_n of_o the_o relapse_n i_o shall_v rather_o only_o make_v some_o general_a observation_n of_o that_o part_n of_o mr._n collier_n remark_n here_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v there_o be_v some_o loose_a expression_n of_o that_o kind_n that_o may_v admit_v of_o censure_n and_o correction_n yet_o mr._n collier_n charge_n against_o they_o be_v too_o vehement_o aggravate_v with_o too_o remote_a and_o uncharitable_a misrepresentation_n beside_o all_o those_o too_o loose_a or_o libertine_n expression_n be_v charge_v as_o the_o private_a sense_n of_o the_o author_n when_o a_o great_a many_o of_o they_o be_v only_o the_o language_n of_o the_o libertine_n character_n that_o speak_v they_o for_o instance_n the_o lord_n foppington_n say_v sunday_n be_v a_o vile_a day_n i_o must_v confess_v a_o man_n must_v have_v little_a to_o do_v at_o church_n that_o can_v give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o sermon_n be_v this_o any_o laugh_n at_o the_o public_a solemnity_n of_o religion_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a piece_n of_o ignorance_n to_o pretend_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n do_v this_o expression_n of_o lord_n foppington_n amount_v to_o any_o more_o then_o that_o he_o have_v no_o kindness_n for_o sunday_n because_o they_o balk_v his_o course_n of_o pleasure_n and_o that_o if_o he_o go_v to_o church_n it_o be_v not_o to_o mind_v the_o sermon_n but_o to_o ogle_n the_o lady_n and_o be_v this_o answer_n to_o amanda_n any_o thing_n but_o what_o the_o audience_n will_v expect_v from_o a_o fop_n of_o his_o vanity_n and_o what_o the_o author_n therefore_o have_v but_o honest_o put_v into_o his_o mouth_n and_o be_v it_o for_o that_o reason_n the_o sense_n of_o the_o author_n himself_o the_o fool_n in_o the_o psalmist_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o i_o hope_v mr._n collier_n will_v not_o tell_v we_o the_o psalmist_n himself_o say_v so_o if_o the_o poet_n be_v accountable_a for_o every_o excursion_n levity_n looseness_n or_o atheism_n itself_o from_o every_o character_n in_o his_o play_n the_o author_n of_o the_o libertine_n destroy_v if_o he_o be_v alive_a will_v have_v a_o long_a black_a scroll_n to_o answer_v for_o in_o his_o don_n john_n and_o his_o two_o wicked_a companion_n at_o least_o if_o mr._n collier_n have_v the_o handle_n of_o he_o but_o grant_v the_o poet_n have_v launch_v a_o little_a too_o bold_o and_o have_v put_v the_o libertine_n language_n in_o the_o wrong_a mouth_n yet_o still_o mr._n collier_n have_v make_v but_o a_o very_a lame_a collection_n of_o they_o when_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o quotation_n have_v so_o little_a shadow_n of_o offence_n that_o nothing_o but_o mr._n collier_n magnifying-glass_n can_v discover_v they_o for_o instance_n sir_n samson_n in_o love_n for_o love_n say_v nature_n have_v be_v provident_a only_o to_o bear_n and_o spider_n this_o say_v mr._n collier_n be_v the_o author_n paraphrase_n on_o the_o 139th_o psalm_n and_o thus_o he_o give_v god_n thanks_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o his_o be_v the_o play_n advance_v from_o one_o wickedness_n to_o another_o etc._n etc._n can_v any_o interpreter_n but_o himself_o have_v make_v this_o gloss_n upon_o that_o poor_a text_n or_o who_o but_o the_o bold_a mr._n collier_n dare_v have_v bring_v god_n himself_o upon_o the_o stage_n from_o so_o innocent_a a_o expression_n but_o mr._n collier_n reader_n be_v desire_v not_o to_o be_v over-surprized_a at_o so_o many_o visionary_a
