of_o a_o family_n of_o his_o own_o yet_o sometime_o the_o parent_n think_v his_o son_n presence_n so_o necessary_a to_o he_o as_o he_o will_v summon_v he_o again_o to_o sojourn_v which_o must_v be_v inconvenient_a unless_o the_o son_n have_v bring_v himself_o by_o improvidence_n to_o a_o impossibility_n to_o live_v by_o himself_o this_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n for_o have_v many_o child_n i_o

be_v not_o only_o a_o double_n of_o charge_n but_o a_o very_a great_a hindrance_n to_o i_o in_o my_o whole_a course_n lxvi_o a_o considerable_a family_n ought_v to_o be_v furnish_v with_o

friend_n of_o i_o find_v give_v direction_n for_o take_v down_o his_o hang_n and_o some_o other_o stuff_n which_o be_v decent_a enough_o my_o friend_n ask_v why_o it_o be_v do_v and_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o be_v out_o of_o fashion_n and_o he_o will_v put_v new_a in_o their_o place_n upon_o this_o ground_n a_o person_n of_o quality_n must_v change_v his_o furniture_n every_o ten_o year_n for_o in_o or_o near_o that_o time_n the_o fashion_n change_v and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v a_o motive_n for_o a_o house_n to_o be_v pull_v down_o and_o a_o new_a one_o to_o be_v set_v up_o in_o its_o place_n as_o many_o have_v do_v who_o be_v well_o house_v before_o lxvii_o now_o we_o be_v come_v to_o look_v abroad_o i_o wish_v our_o pater_fw-la familias_fw-la will_v take_v into_o consideration_n the_o situation_n of_o his_o mansion-house_n together_o with_o the_o conveniency_n and_o inconvenience_n of_o it_o that_o by_o his_o industry_n he_o may_v remove_v what_o be_v

regard_n that_o the_o air_n want_v free_a passage_n the_o choice_n of_o a_o fit_a distance_n may_v reconcile_v this_o difference_n but_o in_o these_o day_n people_n be_v so_o dispose_v to_o quarrel_n

of_o necessity_n must_v be_v very_o great_a far_o off_o he_o shall_v therefore_o do_v much_o better_o to_o abate_v rend_v in_o a_o moderate_a proportion_n which_o course_n be_v confirm_v to_o i_o by_o

who_o have_v not_o put_v themselves_o into_o that_o height_n but_o be_v leave_v in_o it_o by_o their_o parent_n for_o this_o the_o remedy_n be_v easy_a for_o common_a prudence_n forbid_v all_o man_n to_o continue_v in_o a_o consumptive_a condition_n without_o absolute_a necessity_n and_o therefore_o much_o better_a it_o be_v though_o it_o give_v occasion_n of_o discourse_n to_o the_o people_n to_o slack_a sail_n betimes_o by_o a_o reduction_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o expense_n then_o to_o be_v dishonour_v at_o last_o total_o by_o a_o ruin_n which_o may_v have_v be_v prevent_v in_o

lxxiv_o there_o be_v one_o great_a danger_n which_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v touch_v and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o housekeeper_n upon_o their_o first_o set_v up_o either_o be_v already_o in_o debt_n or_o by_o provide_v of_o necessary_n contract_v a_o debt_n which_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v small_a but_o too_o easy_a to_o be_v increase_v for_o want_n of_o experience_n so_o as_o at_o last_o
