any_o i_o have_v the_o satisfaction_n leave_v i_o that_o i_o be_o write_v to_o one_o that_o though_o her_o judgement_n be_v nice_a and_o discern_a her_o interpretation_n be_v easy_a and_o candid_a one_o that_o have_v not_o only_o the_o brightness_n of_o heaven_n to_o make_v i_o adore_v she_o but_o also_o the_o goodness_n of_o it_o to_o forgive_v my_o offence_n else_o i_o shall_v despair_v of_o

the_o work_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o paint_v your_o gay_a airy_a temper_n and_o yet_o shadow_v it_o with_o all_o the_o modesty_n and_o cautious_a reservedness_n you_o have_v a_o humour_n so_o

that_o be_v design_v for_o nothing_o but_o compassion_n and_o all_o the_o gentle_a action_n of_o soft_a love_n while_o i_o be_o preach_v up_o pity_n i_o must_v remember_v to_o practice_v it_o myself_o and_o not_o to_o persecute_v you_o with_o more_o word_n than_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o love_v you_o to_o death_n and_o when_o i_o cease_v to_o do_v it_o may_v heaven_n just_o punish_v my_o
