heroic_a piety_n and_o virtue_n do_v you_o not_o think_v sir_n but_o the_o life_n of_o our_o cook_n crook_n and_o roll_n will_v not_o be_v very_o useful_a and_o acceptable_a to_o our_o lawyer_n and_o also_o the_o life_n of_o our_o harvey_n willis_n and_o lour_v to_o our_o physician_n and_o our_o bacon_n hales_n and_o boil_v to_o our_o philosopher_n i_o appeal_v how_o acceptable_a the_o life_n of_o sir_n matthew_n hales_n write_v by_o our_o present_a bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v be_v to_o this_o nation_n i_o must_v beg_v the_o bishop_n pardon_n for_o insert_v one_o expression_n here_o of_o that_o good_a man_n sir_n matthew_n hales_n which_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v not_o in_o his_o life_n i_o have_v live_a authority_n for_o it_o unto_o who_o he_o say_v it_o that_o when_o he_o publish_v the_o life_n of_o pomponius_n atticus_n he_o do_v suspect_v that_o the_o world_n will_v believe_v that_o he_o therein_o write_v his_o own_o and_o now_o sir_n i_o can_v forbear_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o late_o read_v as_o i_o remember_v in_o diogenes_n laertius_n who_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o life_n of_o one_o of_o his_o philosopher_n that_o as_o for_o natural_a philosophy_n he_o have_v no_o esteem_n of_o and_o altogether_o neglect_v it_o but_o he_o be_v so_o intent_n on_o and_o studious_a of_o moral_a philosophy_n that_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v himself_o time_n to_o comb_v his_o head_n nor_o pair_n his_o nail_n sir_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o either_o of_o our_o three_o great_a philosopher_n be_v as_o eminent_a for_o moral_a philosophy_n as_o diogenes_n laertius_n his_o philosopher_n ever_o be_v as_o be_v evident_a by_o my_o lord_n bacon_n essay_n moral_a and_o divine_a my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n hale_n contemplation_n divine_a and_o moral_a and_o mr._n boyle_n occasional_a meditation_n etc._n etc._n yet_o they_o be_v not_o such_o sloven_n as_o to_o neglect_v comb_v their_o head_n or_o pair_v their_o nail_n neither_o be_v they_o such_o cynic_n as_o to_o neglect_v natural_a no_o nor_o experimental_a philosophy_n as_o their_o learned_a work_n publish_v to_o the_o world_n demonstrate_v thus_o i_o end_v this_o subject_a as_o for_o the_o late_a lord_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n dr._n john_n tillotjon_n you_o have_v not_o call_v i_o to_o give_v my_o testimony_n of_o he_o therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o learned_a and_o pious_a work_v which_o be_v already_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n and_o also_o to_o his_o intimate_a friend_n to_o vindicate_v he_o which_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v ready_o do_v and_o sir_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v pardon_v i_o for_o tell_v you_o now_o and_o then_o a_o truth_n which_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n and_o the_o matter_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o when_o i_o first_o come_v to_o live_v at_o my_o

boyle_n life_n be_v not_o all_o this_o time_n publish_v to_o the_o world_n he_o give_v i_o this_o for_o answer_n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n and_o other_o i_o think_v he_o say_v and_o other_o but_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a i_o will_v keep_v to_o truth_n as_o near_o as_o in_o word_n i_o can_v have_v desire_v he_o to_o get_v material_n ready_a for_o that_o work_n but_o he_o say_v the_o labour_n be_v so_o great_a and_o his_o expectation_n of_o reward_n not_o considerable_a and_o also_o he_o have_v business_n of_o his_o own_o on_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o can_v not_o well_o

do_v you_o not_o think_v but_o if_o the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v publish_v the_o life_n of_o mr._n boyle_n it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o the_o world_n especial_o he_o have_v make_v use_v of_o mr._n boyle_n steward_n for_o so_o many_o year_n to_o search_v book_n paper_n and_o letter_n which_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o record_n in_o this_o affair_n of_o
