to_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o by_o reason_n they_o will_v themselves_o confess_v it_o if_o strict_o examine_v to_o which_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o though_o for_o his_o part_n he_o care_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v witch_n or_o no_o yet_o his_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o confession_n of_o witch_n and_o their_o suffering_n for_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o erroneous_a belief_n viz._n that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o contract_n with_o the_o devil_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o such_o reward_n as_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o give_v they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v their_o religion_n to_o worship_n and_o adore_v he_o in_o which_o religion_n they_o have_v such_o a_o firm_a and_o constant_a belief_n that_o if_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o their_o desire_n they_o believe_v the_o devil_n have_v hear_v their_o prayer_n and_o grant_v their_o request_n for_o which_o they_o give_v he_o thanks_o but_o if_o thing_n fall_v out_o contrary_a to_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n than_o they_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o fear_v they_o have_v offend_v he_o or_o not_o serve_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n for_o their_o offence_n also_o say_v my_o lord_n they_o imagine_v that_o their_o dream_n be_v real_a exterior_a action_n for_o example_n if_o they_o dream_v they_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n or_o out_o of_o the_o chimney_n top_n or_o that_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o several_a shape_n they_o believe_v no_o otherwise_o but_o that_o it_o be_v real_o so_o and_o this_o wicked_a opinion_n make_v they_o industrious_a to_o perform_v such_o ceremony_n to_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o adore_v and_o worship_v he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o choose_v to_o live_v and_o die_v for_o he_o thus_o my_o lord_n declare_v himself_o concern_v witches_n which_o mr._n hobbes_n be_v also_o please_v to_o insert_v in_o his_o forementioned_a book_n but_o yet_o my_o lord_n do_v not_o count_v this_o opinion_n of_o his_o so_o universal_a as_o if_o there_o be_v none_o but_o imaginary_a witch_n for_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v but_o of_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o witch_n as_o make_v it_o their_o religion_n to_o worship_v the_o devil_n in_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a nor_o do_v he_o think_v it_o a_o crime_n to_o entertain_v what_o opinion_n seem_v most_o probable_a to_o he_o in_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o in_o such_o case_n man_n may_v discourse_v and_o argue_v as_o they_o please_v to_o exercise_v their_o wit_n and_o may_v change_v and_o alter_v their_o opinion_n upon_o more_o probable_a ground_n and_o reason_n whereas_o in_o fundamental_a matter_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n he_o be_v so_o strict_a a_o adherent_a to_o they_o that_o he_o will_v never_o maintain_v or_o defend_v such_o opinion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o least_o prejudicial_a to_o either_o one_o proof_n more_o i_o will_v add_v to_o confirm_v his_o natural_a understanding_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v upon_o some_o discourse_n i_o hold_v with_o he_o one_o time_n concern_v that_o famous_a chemist_n van_n helmont_n who_o in_o his_o write_n be_v very_o invective_n against_o the_o schoolman_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n accuse_v they_o for_o take_v the_o radical_a moisture_n for_o the_o fat_a of_o animal_n body_n whereupon_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o sure_o the_o schoolman_n man_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o commit_v such_o a_o error_n for_o say_v he_o the_o radical_a moisture_n be_v not_o the_o fat_a or_o tallow_n of_o a_o animal_n but_o a_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a substance_n for_o the_o fat_a and_o tallow_n as_o also_o the_o watery_a part_n be_v cold_a whereas_o the_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a part_n have_v at_o all_o time_n a_o lively_a heat_n which_o make_v that_o those_o creature_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n be_v long-lived_a and_o appear_v young_a and_o not_o only_a animal_n but_o also_o vegetable_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n as_o ivy_n bayes_n laurel_n holly_n and_o the_o like_a live_v long_o and_o appear_v fresh_a and_o green_a not_o only_o in_o winter_n but_o when_o they_o be_v old_a then_o i_o ask_v my_o lord_n opinion_n concern_v the_o radical_a heat_n to_o which_o he_o answer_v that_o the_o radical_a heat_n live_v in_o the_o radical_a moisture_n and_o when_o the_o one_o decay_a the_o other_o decay_v also_o and_o then_o be_v produce_v either_o a_o unnatural_a heat_n which_o cause_v a_o unnatural_a dryness_n or_o a_o unnatural_a moisture_n which_o cause_v dropsy_n and_o these_o a_o unnatural_a coldness_n last_o his_o natural_a wit_n appear_v by_o his_o delight_n in_o poetry_n for_o i_o may_v just_o call_v he_o the_o best_a lyric_a and_o dramatic_a poet_n of_o this_o age_n his_o comedy_n do_v sufficient_o show_v his_o great_a observation_n and_o judgement_n for_o they_o be_v compose_v of_o these_o three_o ingredient_n viz._n wit_n humour_n and_o satire_n and_o his_o chief_a design_n in_o they_o be_v to_o divulge_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o folly_n of_o mankind_n to_o persecute_v vice_n and_o to_o encourage_v virtue_n 10._o of_o his_o natural_a humour_n and_o disposition_n my_o lord_n may_v just_o be_v compare_v to_o titus_n the_o deliciae_fw-la of_o mankind_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o sweet_a gentle_a and_o oblige_a nature_n for_o though_o his_o wisdom_n and_o experience_n find_v it_o impossible_a to_o please_v all_o man_n because_o of_o their_o

and_o without_o the_o lest_o repine_n have_v beg_v for_o his_o daily_a relief_n so_o god_n will_v but_o have_v let_v his_o parent_n live_v he_o be_v true_a and_o just_a both_o in_o his_o word_n and_o

he_o forget_v not_o past_a service_n for_o present_a advantage_n but_o give_v a_o present_a reward_n to_o a_o present_a desert_n he_o have_v a_o great_a power_n over_o his_o passion_n and_o have_v

and_o ungrateful_a person_n as_o he_o have_v do_v but_o he_o be_v so_o wise_a that_o his_o passion_n never_o outruns_a his_o patience_n nor_o his_o extravagancy_n his_o prudence_n and_o although_o his_o private_a enemy_n have_v be_v numerous_a yet_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v never_o a_o subject_n more_o general_o belove_v than_o he_o be_v he_o hate_v pride_n and_o love_n humility_n be_v

to_o the_o mean_a person_n he_o will_v put_v off_o his_o hat_n and_o suffer_v every_o body_n to_o speak_v to_o he_o he_o never_o refuse_v any_o petition_n but_o accept_v they_o and_o be_v inform_v

of_o clemency_n and_o mercy_n in_o so_o much_o that_o when_o he_o be_v general_n of_o a_o great_a army_n he_o will_v never_o sit_v in_o council_n himself_o upon_o cause_n of_o life_n and_o death_n but_o grant_v pardon_n to_o many_o delinquent_n that_o be_v condemn_v by_o his_o council_n of_o war_n so_o that_o some_o be_v force_v to_o petition_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o ill_a precedent_n for_o other_o to_o which_o my_o lord_n merry_o answer_v that_o if_o they_o do_v hang_v all_o they_o will_v leave_v he_o none_o to_o fight_v his_o courage_n he_o always_o show_v

and_o what_o advantage_n they_o can_v make_v by_o their_o employment_n my_o lord_n smile_o answer_v that_o for_o the_o generality_n he_o know_v not_o what_o they_o can_v get_v but_o danger_n loss_n

that_o ordinary_a commander_n gain_v more_o and_o be_v better_o reward_v then_o great_a general_n to_o which_o i_o add_v that_o i_o have_v observe_v the_o same_o in_o history_n namely_o that_o man_n of_o great_a merit_n and_o power_n have_v not_o only_a no_o reward_n but_o be_v either_o find_v fault_n withal_o or_o lay_v aside_o when_o they_o have_v no_o more_o business_n or_o employment_n for_o they_o and_o that_o i_o can_v not_o conceive_v any_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o that_o state_n be_v afraid_a of_o their_o power_n my_o lord_n answer_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o it_o be_v far_o more_o easy_a to_o reward_v under-officer_n then_o great_a commander_n lxxxi_o my_o lord_n have_v since_o the_o return_n from_o his_o banishment_n set_v up_o a_o race_n of_o horse_n instead_o of_o those_o he_o lose_v by_o the_o war_n use_v often_o to_o ride_v through_o his_o park_n to_o see_v his_o breed_n one_o time_n it_o chance_v when_o he_o go_v through_o it_o that_o he_o espy_v some_o

that_o work_n a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o life_n they_o not_o know_v what_o my_o lord_n mean_v but_o think_v he_o jest_v i_o speak_v very_o serious_o add_v he_o and_o not_o in_o jest_n for_o you_o see_v that_o this_o tree_n which_o be_v blow_v down_o by_o the_o wind_n although_o it_o be_v sound_a and_o strong_a yet_o it_o can_v not_o withstand_v its_o force_n and_o now_o it_o be_v down_o it_o

of_o my_o misfortune_n as_o the_o chip_n of_o my_o estate_n lxxxii_o my_o lord_n discourse_v one_o time_n with_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n of_o judge_v of_o other_o man_n nature_n disposition_n and_o

that_o where_o they_o hit_v once_o they_o fail_v twenty_o time_n in_o their_o judgement_n my_o lord_n answer_v that_o his_o judgement_n in_o that_o point_n seldom_o do_v miss_v although_o he_o think_v it_o weak_a than_o they_o the_o reason_n be_v say_v he_o because_o i_o judge_v most_o man_n to_o be_v like_o myself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v fool_n when_o as_o you_o do_v judge_v they_o all_o according_a to_o yourself_o that_o be_v wise_a man_n and_o since_o there_o be_v more_o fool_n in_o the_o world_n then_o wise_a man_n i_o may_v soon_o guess_v right_o than_o you_o for_o though_o my_o judgement_n rove_v at_o random_n yet_o it_o can_v never_o miss_v of_o error_n which_o you_o will_v never_o do_v except_o you_o can_v dive_v into_o other_o man_n folly_n by_o the_o length_n of_o your_o own_o line_n and_o find_v their_o bottom_n by_o the_o weight_n of_o your_o own_o plummet_n for_o the_o depth_n of_o folly_n be_v beyond_o the_o line_n of_o wisdom_n beside_o say_v he_o you_o believe_v that_o other_o man_n will_v do_v as_o you_o will_v have_v they_o or_o as_o you_o will_v do_v to_o they_o wherein_o you_o be_v mistake_v for_o most_o man_n do_v the_o contrary_n in_o short_a folly_n be_v bottomless_a and_o have_v no_o end_n but_o wisdom_n have_v bound_n to_o all_o her_o design_n otherwise_o she_o will_v never_o compass_v they_o lxxxiii_o my_o lord_n discourse_v some_o time_n with_o a_o learned_a doctor_n of_o divinity_n concern_v faith_n say_v that_o in_o his_o opinion_n the_o wise_a way_n for_o a_o man_n be_v to_o have_v as_o little_a faith_n as_o he_o can_v for_o this_o world_n and_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v for_o the_o next_o world_n lxxxiv_o in_o some_o discourse_n with_o my_o lord_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v speak_v sharp_a to_o those_o i_o love_v best_a to_o which_o he_o jest_o answer_v that_o if_o so_o than_o he_o will_v not_o have_v i_o love_v he_o best_o lxxxv_o after_o my_o lord_n return_v from_o a_o long_a banishment_n when_o he_o have_v be_v in_o the_o country_n some_o time_n and_o endeavour_v to_o pick_v up_o some_o glean_n of_o his_o ruin_a estate_n it_o chance_v that_o the_o widow_n of_o charles_n lord_n mansfield_n my_o lord_n elder_a son_n afterward_o duchess_n of_o richmond_n to_o who_o the_o say_a lord_n of_o mansfield_n have_v make_v a_o jointure_n of_o 2000_o l._n a_o year_n die_v not_o long_o after_o her_o second_o marriage_n for_o who_o death_n though_o my_o lord_n be_v hearty_o sorry_a and_o will_v willing_o have_v lose_v the_o say_a money_n have_v it_o be_v able_a to_o save_v her_o life_n yet_o discourse_v one_o time_n merry_o with_o his_o friend_n be_v please_v to_o say_v that_o though_o his_o earthly_a king_n and_o master_n seem_v to_o have_v forget_v he_o yet_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n have_v remember_v he_o for_o he_o have_v give_v he_o 2000_o l._n a_o year_n some_z few_o note_n of_o the_o authoress_n i._o it_o be_v far_o more_o difficult_a in_o the_o late_a civil_a war_n for_o my_o lord_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n for_o his_o majesty_n service_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o parliament_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n against_o his_o majesty_n not_o only_o because_o the_o parliament_n be_v many_o and_o my_o lord_n but_o one_o single_a person_n but_o by_o reason_n a_o kingly_a or_o monarchical_a government_n be_v then_o general_o dislike_v and_o most_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n prove_v rebellious_a and_o assist_v the_o parliament_n either_o with_o their_o purse_n or_o person_n or_o both_o when_o as_o the_o army_n which_o my_o lord_n raise_v for_o the_o defence_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o

factious_a party_n do_v more_o sudden_o and_o nnmerous_o flock_v together_o to_o act_v a_o mischievous_a design_n then_o loyal_a and_o honest_a man_n to_o assist_v or_o maintain_v a_o just_a cause_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o evil_a man_n shall_v be_v more_o industrious_a and_o prosperous_a then_o good_a and_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v have_v a_o more_o desperate_a courage_n than_o the_o virtuous_a a_o active_a valour_n ii_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o many_o by_o flatter_a poet_n have_v be_v compare_v to_o caesar_n without_o desert_n but_o this_o i_o dare_v free_o and_o without_o flattery_n say_v of_o my_o lord_n that_o though_o he_o have_v not_o caesar_n fortune_n yet_o he_o want_v not_o caesar_n courage_n nor_o his_o prudence_n nor_o his_o good_a nature_n nor_o his_o wit_n nay_o in_o some_o particular_n he_o do_v more_o than_o caesar_n ever_o do_v for_o though_o caesar_n have_v a_o great_a army_n yet_o he_o be_v first_o set_v out_o by_o the_o state_n or_o senator_n of_o rome_n who_o be_v master_n almost_o of_o all_o the_o world_n when_o as_o my_o lord_n raise_v his_o army_n as_o before_o be_v mention_v most_o upon_o his_o own_o

now_o be_v common_o practise_v in_o the_o world_n which_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v dissemble_v flattery_n and_o cheat_v under_o the_o cover_n of_o honesty_n love_n and_o kindness_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o the_o best_a policy_n be_v to_o act_v just_o honest_o and_o wise_o and_o to_o speak_v true_o and_o that_o the_o old_a proverb_n be_v true_a to_o be_v wise_a be_v to_o be_v
