be_v at_o present_a if_o former_o both_o my_o mind_n and_o body_n partake_v of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o love_v you_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o a_o thousand_o time_n that_o i_o have_v always_o more_o

right_a because_o i_o want_v they_o not_o but_o be_v i_o in_o eloisa_n case_n perhaps_o i_o shall_v think_v otherwise_o again_o but_o proceed_v if_o you_o please_v you_o ought_v to_o be_v persuade_v of_o this_o by_o the_o extreme_a reluctance_n i_o have_v against_o marriage_n although_o i_o well_o know_v that_o this_o name_n be_v honourable_a among_o man_n and_o holy_a in_o religion_n yet_o i_o cease_v to_o find_v those_o charm_n there_o in_o think_v that_o i_o cease_v to_o be_v free_a the_o chain_n of_o marriage_n how_o honourable_a soever_o they_o may_v be_v carry_v along_o with_o they_o

always_o i_o hate_v the_o name_n of_o wife_n to_o live_v happy_o with_o that_o of_o your_o mistress_n the_o tenderness_n of_o a_o maid_n which_o you_o love_v with_o so_o much_o passion_n yet_o less_o than_o she_o wish_v for_o be_v not_o altogether_o forget_v by_o you_o since_o you_o entertain_v your_o friend_n with_o they_o in_o that_o letter_n which_o i_o surprise_v you_o say_v very_o well_o in_o this_o that_o i_o find_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v insipid_a in_o all_o the_o public_a engagement_n which_o tie_v those_o knot_n that_o only_o death_n can_v break_v and_o which_o make_v a_o sad_a
