magnify_v and_o advance_v that_o interest_n as_o much_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n but_o both_o very_a shameless_a and_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o touch_v of_o both_o i._o their_o goodly_a method_n of_o disparage_v and_o reproach_v and_o this_o perhaps_o you_o may_v think_v foreign_a to_o the_o present_a matter_n which_o concern_v their_o praise_v and_o commend_v faculty_n but_o however_o this_o though_o it_o seem_v the_o contrary_a extreme_a be_v in_o truth_n not_o so_o wide_a of_o the_o mark_n but_o like_o line_n draw_v from_o the_o contrary_a side_n of_o a_o circle_n centre_n in_o the_o very_a same_o point_n for_o beside_o that_o these_o be_v design_v for_o shadow_n to_o set_v off_o the_o picture_n they_o be_v show_v there_o be_v some_o man_n in_o the_o world_n who_o have_v not_o one_o fair_a quality_n to_o be_v commend_v and_o a_o man_n can_v honest_o say_v one_o good_a word_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o purpose_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v commend_v and_o that_o very_o high_o too_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n why_o when_o you_o can_v do_v it_o direct_o you_o must_v go_v oblique_o to_o your_o matter_n and_o that_o must_v be_v do_v by_o comparison_n which_o have_v no_o positive_a excellency_n of_o itself_o to_o admit_v of_o it_o as_o for_o instance_n if_o i_o be_v to_o commend_v a_o hawk_n and_o in_o particular_a for_o its_o mildness_n mercifulness_n compassion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o sweet-natured_a bird_n and_o a_o great_a benefactor_n now_o to_o say_v this_o direct_o and_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n will_v look_v a_o little_a scurvy_o and_o man_n will_v not_o easy_o swallow_v such_o a_o character_n of_o a_o bird_n of_o prey_n but_o than_o you_o must_v go_v to_o work_v artificial_o and_o tell_v they_o there_o be_v a_o terrible_a and_o rapacious_a eagle_n that_o have_v talon_n as_o long_o as_o one_o arm_n and_o will_v swoop_v up_o a_o whole_a flock_n at_o once_o and_o then_o your_o hawk_n may_v look_v like_o a_o pretty_a and_o lovely_a fowl_n and_o the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o bird_n be_v in_o a_o hopeful_a condition_n though_o he_o eat_v three_o or_o four_o of_o

these_o sir_n you_o must_v needs_o confess_v to_o be_v very_o high_a and_o extraordinary_a flight_n and_o can_v choose_v but_o operate_v and_o subdue_v our_o faculty_n and_o entire_o persuade_v we_o
