pain_n the_o death_n of_o person_n dear_a to_o we_o although_o it_o be_v the_o first_o evil_n of_o opinion_n be_v no_o great_a evil_n if_o it_o do_v not_o expose_v we_o much_o to_o the_o evil_n of_o nature_n let_v we_o examine_v then_o at_o present_a what_o consequence_n the_o death_n of_o your_o friend_n draw_v after_o it_o whether_o it_o abandon_v you_o to_o a_o indisposition_n of_o body_n whether_o it_o give_v you_o over_o to_o servitude_n whether_o it_o reduce_v you_o to_o poverty_n and_o i_o believe_v we_o shall_v soon_o discover_v that_o it_o draw_v down_o upon_o you_o none_o of_o the_o evil_n of_o nature_n how_o shall_v it_o abandon_v you_o to_o a_o indisposition_n of_o body_n your_o friend_n be_v old_a and_o you_o be_v young_a he_o can_v not_o have_v dispense_v with_o your_o care_n though_o you_o can_v have_v be_v without_o his_o assistance_n he_o reach_v the_o end_n of_o his_o race_n before_o you_o arrive_v to_o the_o middle_n of_o you_o and_o the_o time_n of_o his_o death_n have_v much_o get_v the_o start_n of_o your_o infirmity_n it_o be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a for_o you_o to_o have_v a_o infirm_a youth_n but_o all_o possible_a evil_n be_v not_o formidable_a human_a prudence_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o object_n that_o be_v too_o wander_v and_o too_o remote_a we_o shall_v not_o fear_v evil_n that_o threaten_v not_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o much_o fear_n even_o those_o that_o threaten_v at_o a_o distance_n how_o shall_v it_o give_v you_o over_o to_o servitude_n thanks_o to_o our_o religion_n our_o law_n and_o our_o manner_n we_o be_v free_a and_o if_o we_o except_o those_o who_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o state_n engage_v to_o cross_v the_o sea_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o but_o vagabond_n that_o can_v become_v

how_o shall_v it_o reduce_v you_o to_o poverty_n your_o friend_n be_v not_o rich_a and_o it_o be_v hard_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v poor_a one_o can_v be_v so_o with_o the_o grace_n the_o virtue_n

be_v of_o never_o so_o great_a yet_o we_o must_v not_o abandon_v ourselves_o to_o immoderate_a grief_n when_o we_o only_o lose_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o recover_v you_o need_v only_o defend_v yourself_o from_o this_o popular_a mistake_n which_o make_v we_o apprehend_v in_o second_o friendship_n either_o the_o jealousy_n of_o the_o dead_a or_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o live_n the_o dead_a be_v offend_v at_o nothing_o and_o the_o live_a be_v affront_v at_o all_o thing_n but_o the_o live_a be_v of_o a_o very_a scurvy_a humour_n when_o they_o oblige_v we_o to_o sacrifice_v ourselves_o to_o the_o dead_a if_o the_o dead_a love_a sacrifice_n they_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o demand_v they_o of_o we_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v lose_v the_o taste_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o

madam_n that_o their_o state_n be_v a_o state_n of_o insensibility_n or_o a_o state_n of_o repose_n and_o that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o to_o make_v they_o either_o happy_a or_o miserable_a what_o be_v it_o in_o your_o opinion_n that_o have_v prescribe_v to_o we_o the_o duty_n of_o preserve_a fidelity_n to_o the_o dead_a but_o the_o weakness_n and_o tyranny_n of_o the_o live_n every_o one_o will_v flatter_v himself_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o fix_v another_o to_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v no_o long_o fix_v to_o any_o one_o our_o vanity_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o exact_v

we_o be_v bury_v the_o world_n be_v quit_v of_o all_o obligation_n in_o relation_n to_o we_o the_o duty_n of_o interment_n be_v call_v the_o last_o duty_n and_o beyond_o the_o funeral_n all_o that_o

duty_n of_o a_o civi●_n life_n and_o one_o may_v say_v that_o out_o of_o complaisance_n to_o those_o friend_n we_o have_v lose_v they_o make_v we_o want_v to_o those_o who_o we_o still_o retain_v observe_v all_o those_o people_n that_o indulge_v their_o sorrow_n and_o seek_v to_o get_v reputation_n by_o their_o grief_n be_v it_o not_o certain_a that_o their_o affliction_n seem_v to_o suspend_v their_o friendship_n or_o at_o least_o that_o it_o dispense_v they_o from_o act_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o friend_n nay_o one_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o incivility_n to_o offer_v a_o petition_n to_o they_o and_o request_v a_o service_n of_o they_o so_o much_o do_v grief_n devote_v they_o to_o the_o dead_a and_o render_v they_o unuseful_a to_o the_o live_n but_o what_o must_v there_o be_v no_o lament_v for_o the_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n no_o madam_n there_o must_v be_v none_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a this_o passion_n be_v absolute_o pernicious_a and_o if_o it_o be_v good_a in_o any_o respect_n it_o will_v only_o be_v in_o demonstrate_v that_o we_o know_v how_o to_o love_n but_o if_o tear_n be_v certain_a mark_n of_o love_n the_o great_a weeper_n will_v be_v the_o

not_o surprise_v to_o find_v tear_n be_v in_o so_o great_a reputation_n with_o the_o poet_n and_o despise_v by_o the_o philosopher_n poetry_n borrow_v its_o fineness_n from_o the_o passion_n and_o
