to_o be_v in_o talk_v which_o i_o have_v not_o practise_v very_o much_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o particular_a friend_n for_o natural_o i_o be_o so_o wed_v to_o contemplation_n that_o many_o time_n when_o i_o have_v be_v in_o company_n i_o have_v not_o know_v one_o word_n they_o have_v say_v by_o reason_n my_o busy_a thought_n have_v stop_v the_o sense_n of_o my_o hear_n and_o though_o i_o prefer_v the_o delight_n of_o contemplation_n before_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o sense_n yet_o when_o the_o near_a and_o dear_a of_o my_o friend_n speak_v as_o my_o husband_n brother_n sister_n or_o their_o child_n my_o affection_n be_v such_o that_o i_o give_v such_o a_o atention_n to_o they_o as_o if_o i_o have_v no_o other_o thought_n but_o of_o what_o they_o say_v or_o any_o other_o sense_n but_o hear_v but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o name_n and_o term_n of_o art_n and_o the_o several_a opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o the_o distinguishment_n of_o the_o science_n and_o the_o like_a i_o learn_v they_o from_o my_o near_a and_o dear_a friend_n as_o from_o my_o own_o brother_n my_o lord_n brother_n and_o my_o lord_n but_o have_v the_o word_n and_o term_n of_o art_n make_v i_o not_o a_o philosopher_n nor_o a_o poet_n and_o if_o every_o one_o in_o justice_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o due_a than_o nature_n must_v have_v a_o share_n and_o true_o i_o will_v never_o be_v so_o ingrateful_a as_o not_o to_o acknowledge_v her_o favour_n or_o to_o belie_v she_o in_o say_v she_o have_v not_o be_v bountiful_a to_o i_o for_o she_o have_v give_v i_o such_o material_n as_o i_o hope_v to_o build_v i_o a_o monumental_a fame_n therewith_o but_o to_o satisfy_v my_o reader_n i_o will_v tell_v they_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v how_o i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v passage_n all_o though_o i_o never_o practise_v or_o be_v a_o spectator_n therein_o or_o thereof_o as_o put_v the_o case_n my_o husband_n or_o brother_n shall_v tell_v i_o of_o a_o army_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n and_o that_o two_o army_n encounter_v and_o fight_v a_o battle_n and_o express_v the_o form_n and_o figure_n rank_n and_o fiel_n the_o flank_n the_o wing_n the_o van_n the_o rear_v and_o the_o like_a by_o which_o relation_n to_o my_o conceit_n i_o see_v it_o in_o my_o brain_n as_o perfect_o as_o if_o the_o battle_n be_v pitch_v and_o fight_v there_o and_o my_o fancy_n will_v build_v discourse_n therefrom_o likewise_o if_o they_o shall_v tell_v i_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n and_o how_o they_o be_v form_v and_o compose_v i_o conceive_v it_o as_o perfect_o to_o my_o understanding_n as_o if_o i_o have_v see_v it_o dissect_v although_o i_o never_o do_v and_o therefore_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o my_o understanding_n for_o true_o i_o have_v gather_v more_o by_o piece-meal_n then_o from_o a_o full_a relation_n or_o a_o methodical_a education_n for_o knowledge_n but_o my_o fancy_n will_v build_v thereupon_o and_o make_v discourse_n therefrom_o and_o so_o of_o every_o thing_n they_o discourse_v of_o i_o say_v they_o that_o be_v my_o husband_n and_o brother_n for_o the_o singularity_n of_o my_o affection_n be_v such_o that_o though_o i_o have_v a_o ill_a memory_n and_o can_v not_o if_o it_o be_v for_o my_o life_n relate_v word_n for_o word_n of_o any_o discourse_n if_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n long_o that_o i_o shall_v hear_v from_o stranger_n for_o i_o be_o the_o worst_a repeater_n of_o a_o story_n from_o stranger_n or_o out_o of_o a_o book_n in_o the_o world_n when_o from_o my_o near_a friend_n especial_o my_o lord_n who_o discourse_n be_v lively_a description_n i_o can_v forget_v any_o thing_n they_o say_v such_o deep_a impression_n their_o word_n print_v in_o my_o brain_n when_o i_o can_v remember_v one_o discourse_n perfect_o from_o other_o be_v they_o holy_a sermon_n to_o save_v my_o soul._n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v from_o a_o bare_a relation_n i_o can_v conceive_v to_o my_o think_v every_o particular_a part_n and_o passage_n as_o if_o i_o be_v a_o witness_n thereof_o or_o a_o actor_n therein_o but_o many_o thing_n although_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v hear_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n yet_o my_o natural_a reason_n will_v guide_v and_o discover_v to_o i_o the_o right_a and_o the_o truth_n for_o put_v the_o case_n i_o see_v a_o watch_n or_o any_o other_o invention_n and_o none_o shall_v tell_v i_o how_o it_o be_v make_v yet_o my_o natural_a reason_n will_v conceive_v how_o it_o be_v make_v so_o in_o natural_a thing_n my_o natural_a reason_n will_v conceive_v they_o without_o be_v any_o way_n instruct_v and_o so_o work_v a_o brain_n i_o have_v that_o many_o time_n on_o small_a object_n or_o subject_n will_v raise_v up_o many_o several_a fancy_n and_o opinion_n therein_o from_o which_o my_o discourse_n betwixt_o reason_n and_o those_o opinion_n will_v be_v produce_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o have_v more_o material_n to_o build_v with_o then_o ground_n to_o build_v on_o whereby_o they_o become_v useless_a but_o i_o believe_v time_n will_v moulder_v they_o to_o dust_n or_o accident_n as_o sickness_n may_v destroy_v they_o as_o dropsy_n may_v drown_v they_o fever_n may_v burn_v they_o consumption_n may_v waste_v they_o or_o grief_n may_v wither_v they_o or_o other_o employment_n like_o usurper_n may_v throw_v it_o out_o of_o my_o head_n but_o as_o yet_o my_o head_n be_v full_o populate_v with_o divers_a opinion_n and_o so_o many_o fancy_n be_v therein_o as_o sometime_o they_o lie_v like_o a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n in_o a_o round_a heap_n and_o sometime_o they_o fly_v abroad_o to_o gather_v honey_n from_o the_o sweet_a flowery_a rhetoric_n of_o my_o lord_n discourse_n and_o wax_n from_o his_o wise_a judgement_n which_o they_o work_v into_o a_o comb_n make_v chapter_n therein_o but_o those_o that_o make_v these_o and_o the_o like_a idle_a objection_n against_o i_o either_o have_v not_o read_v all_o my_o epistle_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o book_n or_o understand_v they_o not_o but_o that_o be_v not_o my_o fault_n but_o their_o unjust_a nature_n to_o censure_v and_o condemn_v before_o they_o examine_v or_o understand_v nay_o they_o do_v in_o something_n faulse_o ac_fw-la cuse_n and_o malicious_o break_v out_o of_o some_o of_o my_o epistle_n some_o part_n to_o throw_v against_o i_o which_o be_v most_o base_a and_o cruel_a to_o dismember_v my_o book_n torment_v it_o with_o spiteful_a objection_n misform_v the_o truth_n with_o falsehood_n but_o those_o that_o have_v noble_a and_o generous_a soul_n will_v believe_v i_o and_o those_o that_o have_v base_a and_o mechanic_n soul_n i_o care_v not_o what_o they_o say_v and_o true_o i_o will_v not_o have_v trouble_v myself_o in_o strive_v to_o satisfy_v this_o present_a age_n which_o be_v very_o censorious_a but_o fear_v the_o future_a age_n wherein_o i_o hope_v to_o live_v may_v be_v deceive_v and_o i_o by_o false_a construction_n wrong_v for_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o the_o ignorant_a and_o malicious_a do_v strive_v to_o disturb_v and_o obstruct_v all_o probable_a opinion_n witty_a ingenuity_n honest_a industry_n virtuous_a endeavour_n harmless_a fancy_n innocent_a pleasure_n and_o honourable_a fame_n although_o they_o become_v infamous_a thereby_o reader_n i_o have_v forget_v to_o mention_v the_o objection_n that_o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n between_o a_o scholar_n and_o a_o philosopher_n if_o they_o mean_v as_o be_v vulgar_o call_v both_o scholar_n i_o answer_v a_o scholar_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v in_o other_o man_n opinion_n invention_n and_o action_n and_o a_o philosopher_n be_v to_o teach_v other_o man_n his_o opinion_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o demostrate_v the_o work_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o a_o scholar_n be_v to_o learn_v a_o philosopher_n to_o teach_v and_o if_o they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o distinction_n between_o a_o profess_a scholar_n and_o a_o profess_a philosopher_n i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o opinion_n for_o a_o profess_a scholar_n in_o theology_n be_v not_o a_o profess_a philosopher_n for_o divine_n leave_v nature_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o walk_v on_o the_o right_n to_o thing_n supernatural_a and_o if_o they_o mean_v profess_v scholar_n as_o be_v breed_v at_o university_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o take_v not_o all_o those_o that_o be_v breed_v at_o a_o university_n and_o those_o that_o be_v learned_a to_o be_v profess_v scholar_n or_o those_o that_o be_v great_a philosopher_n to_o be_v profess_v unless_o they_o make_v it_o their_o profession_n as_o a_o profess_a divine_a that_o have_v take_v order_n or_o a_o profess_a physician_n that_o have_v commence_v doctor_n or_o profess_a pleader_n or_o lawyer_n that_o be_v make_v barrester_n or_o philosopher_n that_o teach_v scholar_n but_o certain_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v very_o learned_a that_o be_v not_o profess_v as_o be_v of_o
