give_v here_o and_o more_o i_o have_v to_o say_v in_o another_o place_n and_o now_o i_o have_v end_v your_o trouble_n but_o that_o upon_o the_o cast_n of_o my_o thought_n back_o i_o have_v consider_v that_o my_o main_a business_n be_v the_o recommendation_n and_o advancement_n of_o the_o modern_a useful_a knowledge_n i_o need_v make_v a_o apology_n to_o the_o generous_a friend_n of_o that_o way_n and_o particular_o the_o royal_a society_n for_o my_o discourse_n of_o they_o and_o those_o their_o great_a design_n in_o a_o treatise_n that_o contain_v matter_n of_o difference_n and_o contest_v which_o be_v so_o fundamental_o contrary_a to_o their_o spirit_n and_o endeavour_n and_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v fear_v that_o some_o will_v take_v occasion_n hence_o to_o look_v on_o the_o neoterick_n philosopher_n as_o but_o a_o new_a sort_n of_o disputer_n to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o for_o my_o public_a appearance_n in_o a_o controversy_n i_o have_v already_o give_v such_o a_o account_n as_o may_v i_o hope_v satisfy_v the_o candid_a and_o ingenious_a of_o the_o necessity_n that_o inforce_v it_o and_o for_o the_o apprehension_n of_o raise_v mean_a and_o injurious_a thought_n of_o the_o practical_a philosopher_n by_o defend_v they_o in_o a_o book_n of_o difference_n i_o hope_v it_o be_v causeless_a since_o i_o have_v from_o first_o to_o last_o represent_v their_o aim_n and_o design_n as_o thing_n very_o different_a yea_o perfect_o opposite_a to_o that_o spirit_n and_o genius_n and_o i_o shall_v now_o for_o a_o close_o assure_v you_o again_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o tend_v more_o to_o the_o undermine_a and_o supplant_n the_o humour_n of_o dispute_v than_o the_o experimental_a and_o free_a philosophy_n for_o this_o enlarge_v the_o mind_n and_o give_v it_o a_o prospect_n of_o the_o vastness_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o knowledge_n the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v to_o be_v encounter_v in_o the_o search_n of_o truth_n and_o our_o liableness_n to_o deception_n the_o stumble_v of_o confidence_n the_o prejudices_fw-la of_o education_n the_o shortness_n of_o our_o sense_n the_o precipitancy_n of_o our_o understand_n and_o the_o malign_a influence_n of_o our_o affection_n i_o say_v the_o free_a and_o real_a philosophy_n make_v man_n deep_o sensible_a of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o humane_a intellect_n and_o our_o manifold_a hazard_n of_o mistake_v and_o so_o render_v they_o wary_a and_o modest_a diffident_a of_o the_o certainty_n of_o their_o conception_n and_o averse_a to_o the_o boldness_n of_o peremptory_a assert_v so_o that_o the_o philosopher_n think_v much_o and_o examine_v many_o thing_n separate_v the_o certainty_n from_o the_o plausibility_n that_o which_o be_v presume_v from_o that_o which_o be_v prove_v the_o image_n of_o sense_n fancy_n and_o education_n from_o the_o dictate_v of_o genuine_a and_o impartial_a reason_n thus_o he_o do_v before_o he_o assent_v or_o deny_v and_o then_o he_o take_v with_o he_o also_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o fallibility_n and_o defect_n and_o never_o conclude_v but_o upon_o resolution_n to_o alter_v his_o mind_n upon_o contrary_a evidence_n thus_o he_o conceive_v wary_o and_o he_o speak_v with_o as_o much_o caution_n and_o reserve_v in_o the_o humble_a form_n of_o so_o i_o think_v and_o in_o my_o opinion_n and_o perhaps_o it_o be_v so_o with_o great_a difference_n to_o opposite_a persuasion_n candour_n to_o dissenter_n and_o calmness_n in_o contradiction_n with_o readiness_n and_o desire_n to_o learn_v and_o great_a delight_n in_o the_o discovery_n of_o truth_n and_o detection_n of_o his_o own_o mistake_v when_o he_o argue_v he_o give_v his_o reason_n without_o passion_n and_o shine_v without_o flame_a discourse_n without_o wrangle_v and_o differ_v without_o divide_v he_o catch_v not_o at_o the_o infirmity_n of_o his_o opposite_a but_o lay_n hold_v of_o his_o strength_n and_o weigh_v the_o substance_n without_o blow_v the_o dust_n in_o his_o eye_n he_o entertain_v what_o he_o find_v reasonable_a and_o suspend_v his_o judgement_n when_o he_o do_v not_o clear_o understand_v this_o be_v the_o spirit_n with_o which_o man_n be_v inspire_v by_o the_o philosophy_n i_o recommend_v it_o make_v they_o so_o just_a as_o to_o allow_v that_o liberty_n of_o judgement_n to_o other_o which_o themselves_o desire_v and_o so_o prevent_v all_o imperious_a dictate_v and_o imposing_n all_o captious_a quarrel_n and_o notional_a war_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o philosophic_a genius_n may_v be_v show_v in_o a_o grand_a instance_n the_o royal_a society_n which_o be_v the_o great_a body_n of_o practical_a philosopher_n in_o this_o assembly_n though_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o all_o kind_n of_o disposition_n profession_n and_o opinion_n yet_o have_v philosophy_n so_o rare_o temper_v the_o constitution_n that_o those_o that_o attend_v there_o never_o see_v the_o least_o inclination_n to_o any_o unhandsome_a opposition_n or_o uncivil_a reflection_n no_o bold_a obtrusion_n or_o confident_a say_n the_o forbear_v such_o rudeness_n be_v indeed_o a_o law_n of_o that_o society_n and_o their_o design_n and_o method_n of_o inquiry_n natural_o form_v man_n into_o the_o modest_a temper_n and_o secure_v they_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o quarrelsome_a genius_n this_o be_v palpable_a evidence_n of_o the_o sweet_a humour_n and_o ingenious_a tendency_n of_o the_o free_a philosophy_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o show_v such_o another_o example_n in_o any_o so_o great_a a_o body_n of_o differ_v inclination_n and_o apprehension_n thus_o the_o experimental_a learning_n rectify_v the_o grand_a abuse_n which_o the_o notional_a knowledge_n have_v so_o long_o foster_v and_o promote_v to_o the_o hindrance_n of_o science_n the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o as_o it_o have_v alter_v and_o reform_v the_o genius_n in_o matter_n of_o natural_a research_n and_o inquiry_n so_o it_o will_v in_o its_o progress_n dispose_v man_n spirit_n to_o more_o calmness_n and_o modesty_n charity_n and_o prudence_n in_o the_o difference_n of_o religion_n and_o even_o silence_n dispute_v there_o for_o the_o free_a sensible_a knowledge_n tend_v to_o the_o alter_v the_o crasis_n of_o man_n mind_n and_o so_o cure_v
