therefore_o be_v a_o suppression_n and_o sedation_n of_o anger_n since_o than_o man_n be_v angry_a with_o such_o as_o despise_v and_o despite_n be_v spontaneous_a it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o

do_v that_o say_n please_v i_o of_o nothing_o to_o excess_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o hate_v the_o wicked_a to_o excess_n now_o these_o sentence_n bring_v great_a assistance_n to_o oration_n partly_o because_o they_o take_v great_o with_o the_o auditor_n for_o they_o be_v mighty_o please_v when_o any_o one_o speak_v general_o fall_v into_o some_o particular_a opinion_n of_o their_o own_o now_o what_o i_o say_v will_v thus_o be_v manife_a as_o also_o which_o way_n to_o tick'le_v their_o fancy_n for_o a_o sentence_n as_o have_v be_v say_v be_v a_o general_a enunciation_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v please_v when_o a_o thing_n be_v speak_v general_o of_o which_o they_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n in_o particular_a as_o if_o any_o one_o have_v bad_a neighbour_n or_o wicked_a child_n he_o will_v be_v please_v with_o these_o sentence_n then_o neighbour_n nothing_o more_o troublesome_a nothing_o a_o great_a sign_n of_o madness_n then_o to_o beget_v child_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o

and_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o which_o be_v better_o for_o they_o fill_v the_o oration_n with_o morality_n those_o oration_n be_v moral_a where_o the_o will_n and_o pre-election_n of_o the_o

that_o be_v to_o be_v make_v choice_n of_o wherefore_o if_o the_o sentence_n be_v good_a they_o make_v the_o speaker_n to_o appear_v virtuous_a and_o thus_o much_o concern_v sentence_n and_o their_o

for_o the_o one_o create_v obsurity_n by_o be_v too_o prolix_a the_o other_o mere_a trifle_a as_o speak_v of_o thing_n already_o know_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o illiterate_a be_v more_o

common_a and_o general_a the_o other_o what_o they_o know_v and_o what_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n wherefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o discourse_v of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v probable_a but_o from_o
