style_n and_o subject_a i_o must_v confess_v the_o question_n here_o be_v not_o concern_v style_n but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o give_v the_o reader_n a_o hint_n that_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o mr._n blackmore_n have_v not_o variety_n of_o matter_n and_o that_o the_o style_n perpetual_o aught_o to_o be_v suit_v to_o the_o subject_a it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o either_o mr._n blackmore_n have_v not_o suit_v his_o manner_n of_o write_v to_o his_o subject_n or_o that_o his_o style_n be_v not_o enough_o diversify_v but_o to_o show_v that_o mr._n blackmore_n have_v not_o variety_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v our_o business_n here_o we_o need_v only_o put_v the_o reader_n in_o mind_n that_o since_o we_o have_v show_v that_o this_o author_n have_v no_o plenty_n it_o evident_o follow_v that_o he_o have_v no_o variety_n for_o though_o there_o may_v be_v plenty_n without_o variety_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o latter_a can_v be_v without_o the_o former_a but_o we_o will_v still_o go_v a_o little_a further_o and_o show_v that_o mr._n blackmore_n have_v not_o variety_n even_o in_o proportion_n to_o his_o little_a substance_n as_o virgil_n have_v with_o a_o admirable_a simplicity_n diversify_v his_o style_n incessant_o and_o inimitable_o whereas_o mr._n blackmore_n with_o a_o forbid_a affectation_n have_v a_o wearisome_a uniformity_n so_o it_o be_v
