present_a blessedness_n as_o well_o as_o a_o future_a this_o can_v be_v discern_v i_o must_v confess_v by_o the_o most_o part_n of_o mankind_n in_o a_o degenerate_a age_n which_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o happiness_n which_o be_v not_o carnal_a we_o put_v sensuality_n in_o the_o chair_n and_o make_v she_o judge_n of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o autarchy_n and_o she_o will_v not_o fail_v without_o all_o question_n to_o give_v sentence_n on_o she_o own_o side_n in_o she_o on_o case_n viz._n that_o self-government_n be_v a_o painful_a and_o a_o miserable_a sort_n of_o life_n whereas_o let_v enlighten_v reason_n be_v place_v on_o the_o tribunal_n and_o you_o shall_v hear_v that_o which_o solomon_n long-since_a note_v even_o to_o a_o proverb_n that_o her_o way_n be_v way_n of_o pleasantness_n and_o all_o her_o path_n be_v peace_n i_o have_v already_o i_o hope_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o considerable_a pleasure_n appropriate_v to_o sensuality_n but_o what_o she_o borrow_v of_o temperance_n and_o moderation_n and_o then_o dishonest_o claim_v to_o be_v she_o own_o and_o that_o her_o end_n be_v sorrow_n and_o shame_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o obtain_v my_o point_n and_o make_v autarchy_n the_o severe_a of_o all_o virtue_n much_o more_o eligible_a but_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o confirm_v the_o same_o thing_n more_o direct_o and_o positive_o and_o that_o whether_o we_o consider_v those_o pleasure_n that_o be_v outward_a or_o inward_a those_o that_o concern_v the_o body_n or_o the_o soul_n for_o though_o i_o have_v appeal_v from_o the_o sentence_n of_o sensuality_n in_o this_o case_n yet_o i_o will_v admit_v of_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o sense_n when_o not_o either_o disorder_v or_o bribe_v into_o a_o false_a information_n §_o 15._o and_o here_o i_o dare_v challenge_v all_o the_o sensualist_n in_o the_o world_n to_o show_v in_o all_o their_o boast_a enjoyment_n any_o thing_n equal_a to_o the_o delight_n of_o moderation_n or_o any_o delight_n that_o do_v

for_o a_o while_n but_o at_o last_o it_o die_v and_o be_v utter_o lose_v by_o enjoyment_n whereas_o he_o that_o govern_v himself_o by_o rule_n and_o measure_n reap_v all_o the_o delight_n that_o nature_n have_v provide_v for_o he_o for_o whilst_o riot_n make_v man_n dull_a stupid_a and_o insensible_a moderation_n keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v the_o vigour_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o consequent_o their_o pleasure_n thus_o virtue_n take_v the_o best_a course_n to_o propagate_v youth_n and_o continue_v it_o her_o servant_n be_v not_o usual_o dim_a nor_o be_v his_o natural_a force_n
