these_o custom_n and_o persuasion_n even_o from_o our_o tender_a nail_n so_o that_o we_o can_v possible_o taste_v of_o that_o rich_a and_o full_a fountain_n of_o eloquence_n i_o mean_v say_v he_o liberty_n so_o that_o in_o the_o end_n we_o become_v at_o best_a but_o excellent_a flatterer_n and_o from_o hence_o say_v he_o these_o kind_n of_o habit_n follow_v we_o to_o our_o own_o home_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o servile_a man_n to_o be_v a_o true_a orator_n for_o present_o his_o liberty_n and_o his_o boldness_n decay_v and_o consume_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v by_o custom_n

of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o common_a goal_n of_o it_o but_o my_o good_a friend_n say_v he_o i_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o man_n to_o blame_v and_o repine_v at_o the_o present_a time_n but_o look_v if_o it_o be_v peace_n that_o corrupt_v the_o great_a wit_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o that_o this_o war_n which_o be_v endless_a put_v a_o stop_n upon_o our_o

neglect_v the_o pursuit_n of_o the_o virtue_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a in_o a_o judgement_n seat_n that_o any_o man_n bribe_v or_o prepossess_v shall_v be_v a_o good_a judge_n of_o what_o be_v

follow_v we_o all_o our_o life_n and_o contrivance_n and_o expectance_n of_o other_o death_n and_o falsify_v of_o testament_n and_o truck_n for_o gain_v out_o of_o any_o thing_n whatever_o every_o

and_o generous_a will_v divert_v he_o from_o his_o former_a design_n and_o not_o gratify_v he_o with_o the_o flattery_n of_o his_o present_a oberration_n now_o be_v it_o not_o better_a for_o we_o that_o be_v man_n of_o this_o kidney_n to_o have_v a_o ruler_n set_v over_o we_o then_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o our_o freedom_n since_o that_o our_o covetousness_n let_v whole_o lose_v like_o

our_o modern_a wit_n proceed_v also_o from_o profusion_n to_o which_o except_o a_o few_o we_o be_v all_o incline_v not_o otherwise_o labour_v then_o man_n new_o recover_v out_o of_o sickness_n
