tolerable_a reason_n why_o you_o plead_v your_o carcase_n and_o good_a name_n be_v dear_a the_o wound_n go_v to_o your_o soul_n that_o wound_v you_o there_o it_o be_v false_a it_o be_v but_o a_o scratch_n nor_o can_v it_o find_v a_o entrance_n thither_o or_o disturb_v your_o mind_n without_o your_o own_o consent_n a_o injury_n to_o something_o else_o without_o it_o be_v none_o to_o thou_o thus_o when_o provoke_v your_o own_o opinion_n blame_v it_o be_v that_o provoke_v and_o cause_v all_o the_o pain_n wherefore_o beware_v lest_o object_n such_o as_o these_o gain_n your_o assent_n too_o soon_o with_o too_o much_o ease_n lest_o fancy_a harm_n your_o mind_n with_o grief_n affect_v lest_o fancy_a bliss_n shall_v gain_v too_o much_o respect_n thus_o you_o will_v gain_v leisure_n and_o a_o think_v time_n your_o notion_n with_o due_a measure_n to_o confine_v to_o add_v to_o prune_v to_o polish_v and_o refine_v xxvii_o let_v death_n let_v banishment_n and_o every_o ill_a which_o mortal_n think_v with_o apprehension_n fill_v which_o most_o they_o dread_v and_o with_o aversion_n fly_v be_v always_o present_a to_o your_o thought_n and_o eye_n but_o chief_o death_n thus_o no_o

must_v die_v nor_o can_v death_n true_o formidable_a seem_v to_o you_o who_o with_o it_o have_v familiar_a be_v who_o every_o day_n have_v the_o pale_a bugbear_n see_v yet_o death_n be_v the_o worst_a that_o you_o can_v undergo_v the_o utmost_a limit_n the_o last_o scene_n of_o woe_n the_o great_a spite_n your_o enemy_n can_v show_v and_o yet_o no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o gout_n or_o stone_n with_o more_o malicious_a leisure_n may_v have_v do_v arm_a with_o the_o thought_n of_o death_n no_o fond_a desire_n of_o wealth_n nor_o the_o delude_a foolish_a fire_n of_o power_n shall_v lead_v you_o on_o with_o hope_n to_o gain_v what_o death_n have_v swear_v you_o shall_v not_o long_o retain_v xxviii_o wisdom_n you_o say_v be_v what_o you_o most_o desire_n the_o only_a charm_a blessing_n you_o admire_v therefore_o be_v bold_a and_o fit_v yourself_o to_o bear_v many_o a_o taunt_n and_o patient_o to_o hear_v the_o grin_a foolish_a rabble_n laugh_v aloud_o at_o you_o the_o sport_n and_o

supercilious_a pride_n of_o late_a this_o stiff_a behaviour_n this_o affect_a gate_n this_o will_v perhaps_o be_v say_v but_o be_v not_o you_o sullen_a nor_o bend_v a_o supercilious_a brow_n lest_o thus_o you_o prove_v their_o vile_a reproach_n true_a which_o be_v but_o word_n of_o course_n the_o excrement_n the_o usual_a malice_n which_o alike_o they_o vent_v upon_o the_o guilty_a and_o the_o innocent_a but_o firm_o still_o to_o what_o seem_v best_a adhere_v as_o if_o by_o heaven_n command_v you_o order_v be_v to_o keep_v that_o post_n not_o to_o be_v drive_v from_o thence_o by_o force_n much_o less_o a_o scurrilous_a offence_n which_o if_o you_o still_o maintain_v you_o shall_v become_v even_o your_o reviler_n admiration_n force_v to_o confess_v their_o fault_n they_o will_v court_v you_o more_o than_o they_o reproach_v or_o laugh_v at_o you_o before_o but_o if_o through_o mockery_n you_o tame_o yield_v and_o quit_v your_o noble_a station_n in_o the_o field_n you_o be_v to_o be_v laugh_v at_o on_o a_o double_a score_n first_o for_o attempt_v then_o for_o give_v over_o xxix_o if_o to_o please_v other_o study_v to_o be_v dear_a ●n_n their_o kind_a thought_n you_o move_v beyond_o your_o sphere_n and_o look_v abroad_o respect_n and_o praise_n to_o gain_v and_o the_o poor_a outward_a trifle_n call_v a_o name_n you_o lose_v the_o character_n you_o wish_v to_o bear_v you_o lose_v your_o station_n of_o philosopher_n let_v it_o suffice_v that_o such_o yourself_o you_o know_v no_o matter_n whether_o other_o man_n think_v so_o let_v it_o be_v to_o yourself_o if_o wise_a you_o will_v seem_v and_o it_o be_v enough_o you_o gain_v your_o own_o esteem_n xxx_o let_v not_o these_o thought_n torment_v you_o i_o alas_o in_o low_a ignoble_a poverty_n shall_v pass_v my_o wretched_a day_n and_o unregarded_a lie_n bury_v alive_a in_o dark_a obscurity_n no_o honour_n no_o preferment_n shall_v i_o have_v but_o schoch'onless_a descend_v into_o the_o grave_a this_o as_o a_o wondrous_a

that_o it_o be_v no_o disgrace_n i_o shall_v evince_v where_o be_v the_o disgrace_n you_o be_v not_o make_v a_o prince_n or_o that_o you_o be_v not_o invite_v to_o a_o feast_n it_o be_v none_o by_o every_o man_n of_o sense_n confess_v for_o where_o be_v the_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n that_o can_v expect_v that_o thing_n not_o in_o your_o power_n you_o shall_v effect_v and_o why_o of_o want_n of_o power_n shall_v you_o complain_v who_o can_v no_o place_n or_o honour_n just_o claim_v except_o in_o thing_n in_o your_o own_o power_n in_o these_o you_o may_v be_v great_a and_o powerful_a as_o you_o please_v but_o than_o you_o plead_v i_o thus_o shall_v useless_a grow_v to_o those_o i_o love_v nor_o shall_v i_o kindness_n show_v nor_o wealth_n nor_o power_n on_o my_o best_a friend_n bestow_v nor_o by_o my_o interest_n cause_v they_o to_o become_v free_a of_o each_o gainful_a privilege_n in_o rome_n nor_o when_o i_o please_v a_o officer_n create_v nor_o raise_v they_o to_o be_v utensil_n

if_o i_o may_v gain_v it_o on_o these_o condition_n show_v the_o way_n but_o if_o you_o think_v i_o will_v this_o true_a wealth_n forgo_v that_o you_o may_v something_o gain_v that_o be_v not_o so_o see_v how_o unjust_a this_o self-partiality_n and_o to_o be_v plain_a you_o be_v no_o friend_n for_o i_o if_o you_o prefer_v a_o base_a penurious_a end_n before_o a_o honest_a and_o a_o modest_a friend_n suppose_v your_o choice_n be_v such_o then_o show_v i_o how_o what_o you_o so_o earnest_o desire_v to_o do_v and_o keep_v my_o principle_n of_o freedom_n too_o but_o think_v not_o i_o will_v part_v with_o happiness_n that_o you_o some_o worthless_a pleasure_n may_v possess_v but_o thus_o your_o country_n nothing_o by_o you_o gain_v what_o be_v this_o advantage_n that_o your_o country_n
