glad_o understand_v how_o they_o come_v to_o be_v so_o much_o distinguish_v afterward_o for_o there_o be_v different_a reason_n assign_v philot._n i_o suppose_v the_o distinction_n you_o mention_v be_v found_v upon_o extraordinary_a performance_n and_o win_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o industry_n and_o merit_n for_o how_o can_v you_o imagine_v any_o person_n shall_v emerge_n out_o of_o the_o common_a mass_n of_o mankind_n unless_o by_o the_o advantage_n of_o capacity_n labour_n and_o resolution_n their_o mount_a argue_v that_o fire_n be_v the_o roll_a element_n in_o their_o composition_n and_o that_o they_o be_v of_o a_o more_o vigorous_a and_o enterprize_v spirit_n than_o their_o neighbour_n philal._n i_o be_o willing_a to_o suppose_v with_o you_o that_o they_o make_v a_o generous_a use_n of_o these_o advantage_n and_o employ_v they_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o mankind_n be_v as_o remarkable_a for_o their_o justice_n fidelity_n and_o good_a humour_n as_o for_o their_o conduct_n and_o courage_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o believe_v the_o account_n which_o some_o pretend_v to_o give_v concern_v the_o original_a of_o nobility_n philot._n what_o be_v that_o philal._n they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o have_v be_v often_o found_v upon_o rapine_n and_o injustice_n it_o seem_v they_o have_v observe_v out_o of_o thucydides_n that_o in_o ancient_a time_n it_o be_v count_v a_o heroic_a atcheivement_n to_o plunder_n lusty_o and_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o the_o best_a quality_n who_o be_v able_a to_o steal_v most_o cattle_n these_o nimrods_n say_v they_o grow_v great_a by_o the_o strength_n of_o their_o limb_n and_o their_o vice_n engrave_v their_o murder_n upon_o their_o shield_n and_o hector_v all_o the_o little_a and_o peaceable_a people_n into_o peasantry_n philot._n this_o look_v so_o like_o a_o chimerical_a and_o ill_a nature_a opinion_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o confutation_n philal._n i_o have_v no_o exception_n to_o your_o resentment_n but_o to_o go_v on_o for_o the_o more_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o the_o argument_n we_o will_v divide_v nobility_n into_o two_o kind_n hereditary_a or_o acquire_v the_o first_o be_v transmit_v to_o we_o from_o our_o ancestor_n the_o other_o be_v immediate_o confer_v by_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o prince_n philot._n proceed_v upon_o the_o several_a part_n of_o your_o division_n philal._n 1._o then_o hereditary_a nobility_n seem_v no_o just_a ground_n for_o a_o high_a opinion_n because_o it_o be_v borrow_v those_o great_a action_n which_o we_o have_v no_o share_n in_o can_v proper_o be_v any_o part_n of_o our_o commendation_n especial_o if_o we_o want_v ability_n to_o imitate_v they_o it_o be_v true_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o other_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o ornament_n of_o society_n but_o then_o he_o that_o depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o worth_n of_o other_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o image_n and_o be_v worship_v not_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o what_o he_o represent_v to_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n a_o man_n be_v very_o poor_a when_o he_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o to_o appear_v in_o but_o be_v force_v to_o patch_v up_o his_o figure_n with_o the_o relic_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o rifle_v tombstone_n and_o monument_n for_o reputation_n philot._n notwithstanding_o your_o rally_a i_o can_v conceive_v what_o crime_n it_o be_v to_o possess_v the_o inheritance_n of_o our_o forefather_n now_o honour_n be_v part_n of_o their_o estate_n which_o be_v raise_v on_o purpose_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o and_o since_o their_o child_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o merit_n and_o push_v they_o on_o to_o generous_a undertake_n ought_v they_o not_o to_o share_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o success_n philal._n yes_o but_o it_o shall_v be_v manage_v with_o great_a modesty_n because_o though_o a_o honourable_a title_n may_v be_v convey_v to_o posterity_n yet_o the_o ennoble_a quality_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o greatness_n be_v a_o sort_n of_o incommunicable_a perfection_n and_o can_v be_v transfer_v indeed_o if_o a_o man_n can_v bequeath_v his_o virtue_n by_o will_n and_o settle_v his_o sense_n and_o learning_n and_o resolution_n upon_o his_o child_n as_o certain_o as_o he_o can_v his_o land_n a_o brave_a ancestor_n will_v be_v a_o mighty_a privilege_n philot._n i_o hope_v those_o fine_a quality_n be_v not_o so_o

they_o their_o conversation_n be_v inimitable_o graceful_a and_o a_o man_n may_v distinguish_v their_o quality_n by_o the_o air_n of_o their_o face_n philal._n i_o wish_v that_o spirit_n of_o honour_n and_o bravery_n you_o mention_v be_v inseparable_a to_o their_o quality_n but_o it_o be_v too_o plain_a that_o great_a mind_n and_o great_a fortune_n do_v always_o go_v together_o however_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v some_o truth_n in_o your_o observation_n but_o be_o afraid_a the_o distinction_n do_v not_o always_o spring_v from_o the_o cause_n you_o assign_v for_o by_o the_o gracefulness_n of_o conversation_n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v a_o decent_a assurance_n and_o a_o address_n in_o the_o modes_n and_o gesture_n of_o salutation_n now_o these_o be_v pretty_a accomplishment_n i_o confess_v and_o recommend_v a_o man_n to_o company_n with_o some_o advantage_n but_o then_o they_o be_v easy_o gain_v by_o custom_n and_o education_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o fetch_v they_o ex_fw-la traduce_v and_o moreover_o these_o little_a formality_n be_v often_o magnify_v beyond_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o some_o people_n be_v so_o fantastical_o fond_a of_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o topper_n perfection_n of_o human_a nature_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o reality_n a_o more_o valuable_a and_o gentile_a quality_n to_o dress_v well_o and_o come_v handsome_o into_o a_o room_n than_o to_o take_v a_o town_n or_o to_o be_v fit_a to_o discharge_v the_o office_n of_o a_o privy_a counsellor_n now_o with_o submission_n to_o these_o ceremonious_a gentleman_n i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o mind_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o think_v it_o much_o better_a for_o a_o man_n part_n to_o lie_v in_o his_o head_n than_o in_o his_o heel_n philot._n i_o think_v so_o too_o but_o you_o have_v not_o answer_v the_o whole_a philal._n true_a your_o air_n be_v omit_v now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o constant_a privilege_n of_o birth_n which_o you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o this_o deceitful_a age_n of_o we_o there_o be_v no_o argue_n from_o a_o outside_o beside_o i_o doubt_v this_o advantage_n be_v sometime_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o slothful_a and_o effeminate_a life_n when_o man_n will_v attempt_v nothing_o either_o in_o the_o field_n or_o in_o their_o closet_n when_o they_o will_v neither_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o think_v nor_o endure_v to_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o wether_n this_o niceness_n though_o it_o render_v they_o insignificant_a to_o the_o great_a purpose_n of_o life_n yet_o it_o polish_v their_o complexion_n and_o make_v their_o spirit_n seem_v more_o move_v and_o transparent_a sometime_o this_o sprightliness_n and_o grandeur_n of_o face_n be_v paint_v by_o flattery_n for_o when_o man_n be_v once_o make_v to_o believe_v they_o be_v very_o considerable_a they_o be_v present_o for_o try_v to_o write_v the_o inscription_n of_o their_o quality_n upon_o their_o forehead_n now_o conceit_v when_o it_o be_v correct_v with_o a_o mixture_n of_o gravity_n be_v a_o admirable_a wash_n and_o will_v make_v one_o look_v as_o wise_a and_o as_o great_a as_o you_o will_v wish_v philot._n this_o grandeur_n of_o face_n as_o you_o call_v it_o may_v possible_o be_v explain_v upon_o kind_a principle_n for_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o a_o quick_a sense_n of_o honour_n a_o consciousness_n of_o worth_n a_o elevation_n of_o thought_n will_v sometime_o break_v out_o into_o a_o lustre_n and_o make_v the_o great_a soul_n sparkle_v in_o a_o man_n eye_n philal._n i_o can_v deny_v what_o you_o say_v and_o therefore_o the_o

therefore_o i_o shall_v venture_v to_o go_v on_o with_o you_o to_o another_o advantage_n of_o nobility_n viz._n antiquity_n now_o to_o begin_v in_o your_o own_o way_n do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o
