almost_o as_o contemptible_a as_o that_o of_o the_o pigmy_n and_o be_v only_o sit_v to_o write_v romance_n upon_o philal._n i_o shall_v not_o inquire_v how_o far_o this_o lofty_a method_n may_v advance_v the_o reputation_n of_o learning_n but_o i_o be_o pretty_a sure_a it_o be_v no_o great_a addition_n to_o they_o who_o use_v it_o for_o it_o only_o make_v other_o more_o inquisitive_a into_o their_o defect_n and_o more_o inclinable_a to_o expose_v they_o if_o they_o take_v they_o tardy_a they_o endeavour_v to_o humble_v they_o by_o way_n of_o reprisal_n those_o slip_n and_o mismanagement_n be_v usual_o ridicule_v and_o aggravate_v when_o such_o person_n be_v guilty_a of_o they_o which_o will_v be_v overlook_v or_o excuse_v in_o other_o of_o a_o more_o modest_a and_o affable_a conversation_n if_o they_o happen_v to_o be_v find_v inconsistent_a with_o themselves_o if_o their_o vanity_n of_o appear_v singular_a put_v they_o upon_o advance_v paradox_n and_o prove_v they_o as_o paradoxical_o if_o a_o presumption_n upon_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o a_o desire_n of_o great_a triumph_n make_v they_o venture_v too_o far_o into_o the_o enemy_n quarter_n and_o take_v up_o a_o post_n which_o they_o can_v maintain_v they_o be_v usual_o laugh_v at_o for_o their_o folly_n and_o left_a to_o shift_v for_o themselves_o for_o pride_n never_o have_v any_o friend_n and_o all_o man_n be_v glad_a of_o a_o just_a occasion_n to_o lessen_v his_o reputation_n who_o make_v such_o a_o ill-natured_a use_n of_o it_o philot._n i_o conceive_v you_o harp_v a_o little_a too_o much_o upon_o one_o string_n do_v you_o think_v the_o inferiors_n clergy_n for_o who_o you_o be_v now_o plead_v be_v discourage_v by_o none_o but_o those_o of_o their_o own_o profession_n philal._n no_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o people_n who_o use_v they_o with_o neglect_n enough_o but_o then_o they_o be_v somewhat_o more_o to_o be_v excuse_v they_o have_v not_o such_o fair_a opportunity_n to_o understand_v the_o just_a pretence_n of_o a_o liberal_a education_n and_o a_o religious_a employment_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o fall_v under_o unfortunate_a hand_n in_o their_o minority_n the_o vanity_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o the_o knavery_n of_o flatterer_n often_o give_v they_o a_o wrong_a notion_n of_o themselves_o and_o make_v they_o admire_v nothing_o but_o wealth_n hand_n greatness_n and_o think_v no_o condition_n deserve_v regard_n but_o that_o which_o resemble_v their_o own_o beside_o their_o neglect_n look_v less_o unaccountable_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o quality_n and_o their_o breed_n make_v their_o pride_n sit_v more_o decent_o upon_o they_o they_o usual_o contemn_v with_o a_o better_a grace_n than_o other_o for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o art_n and_o mystery_n in_o pride_n to_o manage_v it_o handsome_o a_o man_n may_v almost_o as_o soon_o learn_v a_o trade_n and_o if_o we_o observe_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o bring_v up_o to_o it_o seldom_o prove_v their_o craftsmaster_n or_o practice_n with_o any_o sort_n of_o address_n to_o which_o i_o may_v add_v that_o such_o person_n be_v usual_o willing_a to_o pay_v for_o their_o imperiousness_n so_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o make_v a_o fool_n for_o nothing_o but_o when_o this_o lofty_a humour_n be_v clumsy_o and_o inartificial_o manage_v when_o it_o be_v affect_v by_o those_o of_o a_o self-denying_a and_o mortify_a profession_n and_o who_o get_v their_o live_n by_o declaim_v against_o it_o when_o it_o be_v take_v up_o by_o man_n of_o sense_n who_o may_v well_o be_v expect_v to_o see_v through_o the_o folly_n of_o this_o vice_n and_o who_o general_o have_v not_o those_o pretence_n of_o a_o biased_a education_n to_o misguide_v they_o especial_o when_o they_o play_v it_o upon_o person_n of_o their_o own_o order_n who_o be_v bear_v and_o breed_v to_o as_o fair_a expectation_n of_o regard_n as_o themselves_o and_o be_v sometime_o their_o inferior_n in_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o in_o success_n this_o be_v such_o a_o singular_a practice_n that_o i_o have_v rather_o leave_v it_o undescribe_v than_o be_v force_v to_o give_v it_o its_o proper_a character_n philot._n i_o believe_v you_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o abate_v if_o not_o to_o retract_v your_o ceasure_n when_o you_o consider_v that_o these_o gentleman_n of_o the_o gown_n who_o you_o think_v too_o much_o depress_v be_v many_o of_o they_o curate_n and_o be_v it_o not_o very_o reasonable_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o distance_n observe_v between_o master_n and_o

if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o due_a homage_n pay_v in_o conversation_n those_o who_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o subjection_n will_v neither_o know_v their_o condition_n nor_o their_o duty_n they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o forget_v they_o hold_v by_o a_o servile_a tenure_n and_o think_v themselves_o enfranchise_v from_o all_o manner_n of_o suit_n and_o service_n beside_o if_o the_o parson_n shall_v use_v his_o curate_n with_o that_o freedom_n which_o you_o insinuate_v as_o if_o there_o be_v neither_o dependence_n nor_o obligation_n between_o they_o this_o may_v be_v of_o very_o ill_a example_n to_o the_o parish_n and_o make_v all_o other_o servant_n challenge_v the_o same_o liberty_n and_o grow_v pert_a upon_o their_o master_n and_o when_o this_o sauciness_n become_v universal_a as_o it_o be_v likely_a it_o may_v do_v in_o a_o short_a time_n what_o less_o mischief_n can_v be_v expect_v from_o it_o than_o a_o old_a scythian_a rebellion_n philal._n i_o confess_v i_o be_v not_o aware_a the_o be_v of_o government_n depend_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o distinction_n between_o rector_n and_o curate_n and_o that_o if_o the_o modern_a way_n of_o distance_n and_o subordination_n be_v not_o keep_v up_o we_o must_v present_o return_v to_o hobs_n state_n of_o nature_n if_o a_o curate_n be_v such_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n that_o a_o little_a civil_a usage_n to_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o make_v the_o world_n fall_v about_o our_o ear_n i_o wonder_v why_o so_o many_o of_o they_o be_v suffer_v now_o without_o raise_v the_o posse_fw-la comitatus_fw-la if_o the_o pluralist_n will_v but_o do_v their_o best_a to_o suppress_v they_o their_o number_n may_v quick_o be_v so_o retrench_v that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v in_o the_o least_o formidable_a but_o you_o seem_v to_o argue_v all_o this_o while_n upon_o a_o wrong_a principle_n you_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o curate_n be_v servant_n now_o if_o this_o prove_v a_o mistake_n you_o will_v own_o they_o may_v be_v treat_v with_o a_o little_a more_o freedom_n without_o any_o danger_n to_o authority_n philot._n who_o doubt_v of_o their_o be_v servant_n philal._n i_o do_v and_o for_o very_o good_a reason_n philot._n see_v how_o a_o man_n may_v be_v mistake_v i_o think_v the_o english_a of_o curate_n have_v be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a hireling_n philal._n no_o such_o matter_n the_o proper_a import_n of_o the_o word_n signify_v one_o who_o have_v the_o cure_n of_o soul_n therefore_o in_o france_n all_o parochial_a priest_n be_v call_v curate_n as_o they_o be_v likewise_o in_o our_o rubric_n and_o common-prayer_n philot._n i_o find_v then_o there_o lie_v no_o servitude_n in_o the_o name_n so_o that_o it_o must_v be_v either_o the_o deputation_n or_o salary_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o institute_v priest_n which_o sink_v they_o into_o this_o condition_n philal._n that_o there_o be_v no_o servitude_n in_o either_o of_o these_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o make_v good_a 1._o not_o in_o the_o office_n and_o here_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o ask_v you_o a_o few_o question_n philot._n take_v your_o own_o method_n philal._n what_o in_o your_o apprehension_n be_v a_o curate_n employment_n philot._n to_o

philal._n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o authority_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o a_o master_n philot._n who_o question_n it_o philal._n have_v the_o curate_n his_o
