for_o no_o sober_a man_n will_v ever_o affect_v such_o piteous_a decadence_n nay_o and_o from_o this_o place_n cecilius_n in_o his_o discourse_n upon_o lysias_n take_v the_o boldness_n to_o

so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o it_o seem_v not_o probable_a but_o i_o pray_v let_v we_o once_o find_v some_o perfect_a and_o blameless_a writer_n §._o 29._o but_o it_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o pain_n first_o to_o inquire_v in_o the_o general_n whether_o in_o poem_n and_o oration_n a_o irregular_a and_o luxuriant_a greatness_n be_v sometime_o better_a than_o a_o stay_v proportionate_a and_o

also_o be_v necessary_o find_v that_o man_n who_o understanding_n be_v of_o a_o little_a make_n never_o adventure_v themselves_o in_o attempt_n of_o height_n seldom_o or_o never_o fall_v but_o walk_v on_o sure_a ground_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceal_v that_o natural_o all_o human_a thing_n be_v ever_o rather_o adjudge_v by_o the_o worse_o and_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o bad_a stand_v fix_v and_o permanent_a but_o that_o of_o the_o good_a glide_v away_o and_o vanish_v now_o shall_v i_o instance_n some_o no_o small_a fault_n both_o of_o homer_n and_o other_o

proper_o fail_n of_o carelessness_n heedless_o oversee_v by_o chance_n in_o several_a place_n by_o a_o noble_a pride_n of_o nature_n yet_o nevertheless_o i_o think_v the_o great_a virtue_n although_o not_o equal_o regnant_a in_o the_o whole_a piece_n aught_o to_o carry_v the_o suffrage_n for_o precedency_n be_v it_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n then_o their_o height_n and_o greatness_n now_o
