to_o be_v in_o talk_v which_o i_o have_v not_o practise_v very_o much_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o particular_a friend_n for_o natural_o i_o be_o so_o wed_v to_o contemplation_n that_o many_o time_n

their_o child_n my_o affection_n be_v such_o that_o i_o give_v such_o a_o atention_n to_o they_o as_o if_o i_o have_v no_o other_o thought_n but_o of_o what_o they_o say_v or_o any_o other_o sense_n but_o hear_v but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o name_n and_o term_n of_o art_n and_o the_o several_a opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o the_o distinguishment_n of_o the_o science_n and_o the_o like_a i_o learn_v they_o from_o my_o near_a and_o dear_a friend_n as_o from_o my_o own_o brother_n my_o lord_n brother_n and_o my_o lord_n but_o have_v the_o word_n and_o term_n of_o art_n make_v i_o

ingrateful_a as_o not_o to_o acknowledge_v her_o favour_n or_o to_o belie_v she_o in_o say_v she_o have_v not_o be_v bountiful_a to_o i_o for_o she_o have_v give_v i_o such_o material_n as_o i_o hope_v to_o build_v i_o a_o monumental_a fame_n therewith_o but_o to_o satisfy_v my_o reader_n i_o will_v tell_v they_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v how_o i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v passage_n all_o though_o i_o never_o practise_v or_o be_v a_o spectator_n therein_o or_o thereof_o as_o put_v the_o case_n my_o husband_n or_o brother_n shall_v tell_v i_o of_o a_o army_n of_o horse_n

every_o thing_n they_o discourse_v of_o i_o say_v they_o that_o be_v my_o husband_n and_o brother_n for_o the_o singularity_n of_o my_o affection_n be_v such_o that_o though_o i_o have_v a_o ill_a

i_o be_o the_o worst_a repeater_n of_o a_o story_n from_o stranger_n or_o out_o of_o a_o book_n in_o the_o world_n when_o from_o my_o near_a friend_n especial_o my_o lord_n who_o discourse_n be_v

as_o if_o i_o be_v a_o witness_n thereof_o or_o a_o actor_n therein_o but_o many_o thing_n although_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v hear_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n yet_o my_o natural_a reason_n will_v

yet_o my_o natural_a reason_n will_v conceive_v how_o it_o be_v make_v so_o in_o natural_a thing_n my_o natural_a reason_n will_v conceive_v they_o without_o be_v any_o way_n instruct_v and_o so_o work_v a_o brain_n i_o have_v that_o many_o time_n on_o small_a object_n or_o subject_n will_v raise_v up_o many_o several_a fancy_n and_o opinion_n therein_o from_o which_o my_o discourse_n betwixt_o

but_o i_o believe_v time_n will_v moulder_v they_o to_o dust_n or_o accident_n as_o sickness_n may_v destroy_v they_o as_o dropsy_n may_v drown_v they_o fever_n may_v burn_v they_o consumption_n may_v waste_v they_o or_o grief_n may_v wither_v they_o or_o other_o employment_n like_o usurper_n may_v throw_v it_o out_o of_o my_o head_n but_o as_o yet_o my_o head_n be_v full_o populate_v with_o divers_a opinion_n and_o so_o many_o fancy_n be_v therein_o as_o sometime_o they_o lie_v like_o a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n in_o a_o round_a heap_n and_o sometime_o they_o fly_v abroad_o to_o gather_v

those_o that_o make_v these_o and_o the_o like_a idle_a objection_n against_o i_o either_o have_v not_o read_v all_o my_o epistle_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o book_n or_o understand_v they_o not_o but_o that_o be_v not_o my_o fault_n but_o their_o unjust_a nature_n to_o censure_v and_o condemn_v before_o they_o examine_v or_o understand_v nay_o they_o do_v in_o something_n faulse_o ac_fw-la

with_o spiteful_a objection_n misform_v the_o truth_n with_o falsehood_n but_o those_o that_o have_v noble_a and_o generous_a soul_n will_v believe_v i_o and_o those_o that_o have_v base_a and_o

but_o fear_v the_o future_a age_n wherein_o i_o hope_v to_o live_v may_v be_v deceive_v and_o i_o by_o false_a construction_n wrong_v for_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o the_o ignorant_a and_o

honourable_a fame_n although_o they_o become_v infamous_a thereby_o reader_n i_o have_v forget_v to_o mention_v the_o objection_n that_o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n between_o a_o scholar_n and_o a_o philosopher_n if_o they_o mean_v as_o be_v vulgar_o call_v both_o scholar_n i_o answer_v a_o scholar_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v in_o other_o man_n opinion_n invention_n and_o action_n and_o a_o philosopher_n be_v to_o teach_v other_o man_n his_o opinion_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o demostrate_v the_o work_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o a_o scholar_n be_v to_o learn_v a_o philosopher_n to_o

in_o theology_n be_v not_o a_o profess_a philosopher_n for_o divine_n leave_v nature_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o walk_v on_o the_o right_n to_o thing_n supernatural_a and_o if_o they_o mean_v profess_v scholar_n as_o be_v breed_v at_o university_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o take_v not_o all_o those_o that_o be_v breed_v at_o a_o university_n and_o those_o that_o be_v learned_a to_o be_v profess_v scholar_n or_o those_o that_o be_v great_a philosopher_n to_o be_v profess_v unless_o they_o make_v it_o their_o profession_n as_o a_o profess_a divine_a that_o have_v take_v order_n or_o a_o profess_a physician_n that_o have_v commence_v doctor_n or_o profess_a pleader_n or_o lawyer_n that_o be_v make_v barrester_n or_o philosopher_n that_o teach_v scholar_n but_o certain_o there_o

that_o profession_n by_o which_o they_o live_v likewise_o a_o objection_n for_o my_o say_n i_o have_v not_o read_v many_o book_n but_o i_o answer_v for_o not_o read_v of_o many_o author_n have_v i_o understand_v several_a language_n as_o i_o do_v not_o i_o have_v not_o have_v so_o much_o time_n have_v i_o endeavour_v to_o have_v be_v learn_v threin_o for_o learning_n require_v close_a study_n long_a time_n and_o labour_n beside_o our_o sex_n take_v so_o much_o delight_n in_o dress_v and_o adorn_v themselves_o as_o we_o for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v our_o gown_n our_o book_n our_o lace_n our_o line_n our_o embroidery_n our_o letter_n and_o our_o dress_n be_v the_o time_n of_o our_o study_n and_o instead_o of_o turn_v over_o solid_a leaf_n we_o turn_v our_o hair_n into_o curl_n and_o our_o sex_n be_v as_o ambitious_a to_o show_v themselves_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n when_o fine_o dress_v as_o scholar_n do_v to_o express_v their_o learning_n to_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o

natural_a reason_n be_v the_o first_o educator_n for_o natural_a reason_n do_v first_o compose_v commonwealth_n invent_v art_n and_o science_n and_o if_o natural_a reason_n have_v compose_v invent_v and_o discover_v i_o know_v no_o reason_n but_o natural_a reason_n may_v find_v out_o what_o natural_a reason_n have_v compose_v invent_v and_o discover_v without_o the_o help_n of_o education_n but_o some_o may_v say_v that_o education_n be_v like_a money_n n_o put_v to_o use_v which_o beget_v increase_v i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a but_o natural_a reason_n be_v the_o principal_a which_o without_o

ignorance_n wind_v ourselves_o sometime_o out_o by_o the_o help_n of_o some_o refresh_a rain_n of_o good_a education_n which_o seldom_o be_v give_v we_o for_o we_o be_v keep_v like_o bird_n in_o

nature_n thus_o want_v the_o experience_n of_o nature_n we_o must_v needs_o want_v the_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n and_o so_o consequent_o prudence_n a_o and_o invention_n of_o man_n thus_o by_o a_o opinion_n which_o i_o hope_n be_v but_o a_o erroneous_a one_o in_o man_n we_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o all_o power_n and_o authority_n by_o reason_n we_o be_v never_o employ_v either_o in_o

of_o themselves_o and_o through_o a_o dispisement_n of_o we_o but_o i_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o if_o a_o right_a judgement_n and_o a_o true_a understanding_n &_o a_o respectful_a civility_n live_v any_o where_o it_o must_v be_v in_o learned_a university_n where_o nature_n be_v best_a know_v where_o truth_n be_v often_o find_v where_o civility_n be_v most_o practise_v and_o if_o i_o

i_o desserve_v not_o praise_n i_o be_o sure_a to_o receive_v so_o much_o courtship_n from_o this_o sage_a society_n as_o to_o bury_v i_o in_o silence_n thus_o i_o may_v have_v a_o quiet_a grave_n since_o not_o worthy_a a_o famous_a memory_n but_o to_o lie_v entomb_v under_o the_o dust_n of_o a_o university_n will_v be_v honour_n enough_o for_o i_o and_o more_o than_o if_o i_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o vulgar_a as_o a_o deity_n wherefore_o if_o your_o wisdom_n can_v give_v i_o the_o bay_n let_v your_o charity_n strew_v i_o with_o cypress_n and_o who_o know_v but_o after_o my_o

what_o ambition_n and_o glory_n make_v a_o epiloge_n to_o my_o philosophical_a opinion_n some_o say_v that_o my_o book_n of_o philosophy_n it_o seem_v as_o if_o i_o have_v converse_v with_o
