far_o this_o go_v with_o he_o that_o he_o resolve_v firm_o to_o change_v the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n which_o he_o think_v he_o shall_v effect_v by_o the_o study_n of_o philosophy_n and_o have_v not_o a_o few_o no_o less_o solid_a than_o pleasant_a notion_n concern_v the_o folly_n and_o madness_n of_o vice_n but_o he_o confess_v he_o have_v no_o remorse_n for_o his_o past_a action_n as_o

it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o speculation_n which_o but_o few_o either_o have_v the_o leisure_n or_o the_o capacity_n to_o inquire_v into_o but_o the_o principle_n that_o must_v reform_v mankind_n must_v be_v obvious_a to_o every_o man_n understanding_n that_o philosophy_n in_o matter_n of_o morality_n beyond_o the_o great_a line_n of_o our_o duty_n have_v no_o very_o certain_a fix_a rule_n but_o in_o the_o lesser_a office_n and_o instance_n of_o our_o duty_n go_v much_o by_o the_o fancy_n of_o man_n and_o custom_n of_o nation_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o have_v authority_n enough_o to_o bear_v down_o the_o propensity_n of_o nature_n appetite_n or_o passion_n for_o which_o i_o instance_a in_o these_o two_o point_n the_o one_o be_v about_o that_o maxim_n of_o the_o stoic_n to_o

the_o accident_n of_o life_n casie_a but_o i_o think_v it_o can_v because_o nature_n after_o all_o our_o strive_v against_o it_o will_v still_o return_v to_o itself_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o dissolve_v the_o bond_n of_o nature_n and_o friendship_n and_o slacken_a industry_n which_o will_v move_v but_o dull_o without_o a_o inward_a heat_n and_o if_o it_o deliver_v a_o man_n from_o many_o trouble_n it_o deprive_v he_o of_o the_o chief_a pleasure_n of_o life_n which_o rise_v from_o friendship_n the_o other_o be_v concern_v the_o restraint_n of_o pleasure_n how_o far_o that_o be_v to_o go_v upon_o this_o he_o tell_v i_o the_o two_o maxim_n of_o his_o morality_n then_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v do_v nothing_o to_o the_o hurt_n of_o any_o other_o or_o that_o may_v prejudice_v his_o own_o health_n and_o he_o think_v that_o all_o pleasure_n when_o it_o do_v not_o interfere_v with_o these_o be_v to_o be_v indulge_v as_o the_o gratification_n of_o our_o natural_a appetite_n it_o seem_v unreasonable_a to_o imagine_v these_o be_v put_v into_o a_o man_n only_o to_o be_v restrain_v or_o curb_v to_o such_o a_o narrowness_n this_o he_o apply_v to_o the_o free_a use_n of_o
