think_v on_o you_o and_o you_o have_v no_o need_n to_o solicit_v my_o memory_n more_o than_o my_o affection_n the_o first_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o last_o true_a friendship_n be_v always_o

i_o believe_v that_o you_o pass_v some_o part_n of_o your_o time_n to_o entertain_v yourself_o with_o our_o friendship_n i_o can_v easy_o believe_v the_o favour_n of_o your_o remembrance_n since_o you_o deny_v i_o not_o that_o of_o your_o love_n we_o do_v more_o oblige_v person_n by_o affection_n than_o memory_n we_o may_v think_v indeed_o on_o troublesome_a thing_n but_o love_v only_o delightful_a since_o i_o have_v some_o part_n in_o your_o good_a grace_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v give_v i_o some_o in_o your_o memory_n after_o a_o great_a favour_n i_o may_v well_o expect_v a_o little_a one_o and_o if_o my_o imperfection_n can_v hinder_v you_o to_o love_v i_o they_o shall_v never_o hinder_v you_o to_o remember_v i_o this_o be_v my_o faith_n and_o my_o consolation_n i_o be_o none_o of_o those_o who_o be_v always_o in_o alarm_n when_o people_n fail_v of_o what_o they_o owe_v or_o what_o themselves_o desire_v i_o do_v not_o regard_v if_o you_o write_v to_o i_o or_o not_o i_o believe_v that_o you_o fail_v not_o to_o serve_v yourself_o of_o all_o occasion_n whereby_o i_o may_v receive_v any_o assurance_n i_o fear_v more_o the_o change_n of_o your_o health_n then_o of_o your_o friendship_n and_o wish_v you_o be_v no_o more_o subject_n to_o sickness_n than_o inconstancy_n and_o when_o i_o desire_v you_o more_o liberty_n it_o be_v for_o your_o own_o satisfaction_n and_o that_o i_o may_v receive_v more_o frequent_a testimony_n of_o your_o affection_n albeit_o i_o shall_v this_o will_v not_o augment_v the_o belief_n i_o have_v but_o only_o the_o pleasure_n i_o

complain_v of_o her_o distance_n that_o she_o can_v hope_v for_o news_n that_o she_o can_v neither_o remember_v she_o without_o grief_n nor_o forget_v she_o without_o ingratitude_n madam_n since_o for_o the_o future_a i_o dare_v scarce_o hope_v to_o have_v news_n from_o you_o i_o must_v at_o least_o send_v you_o i_o that_o you_o may_v have_v compassion_n on_o i_o and_o not_o render_v my_o evil_a extreme_a by_o oblivion_n it_o be_v that_o i_o fear_v if_o your_o promise_n do_v not_o give_v i_o that_o courage_n which_o my_o want_n of_o merit_n entire_o take_v away_o excuse_v i_o if_o i_o write_v thus_o unto_o you_o since_o the_o sovereign_a remedy_n of_o my_o solitude_n be_v to_o think_v that_o you_o have_v promise_v to_o love_v i_o i_o hardly_o know_v myself_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o which_o not_o long_o since_o i_o possess_v i_o speak_v thus_o according_a to_o your_o measure_n and_o not_o according_a to_o my_o own_o since_o it_o be_v but_o eight_o day_n for_o you_o but_o a_o whole_a age_n for_o i_o see_v to_o what_o i_o be_o reduce_v i_o can_v neither_o forget_v you_o without_o crime_n nor_o think_v of_o you_o without_o grief_n i_o must_v be_v either_o faulty_a or_o unhappy_a you_o have_v too_o much_o merit_n to_o let_v i_o be_v able_a to_o forget_v you_o and_o i_o too_o little_a to_o imagine_v you_o think_v on_o i_o insomuch_o that_o i_o can_v neither_o hope_n without_o temerity_n nor_o cure_v myself_o without_o ingratitude_n but_o my_o letter_n must_v be_v confuse_v like_o my_o thought_n i_o tell_v you_o once_o more_o that_o i_o know_v not_o
i_o then_o that_o speak_v to_o those_o above_o we_o it_o be_v better_a to_o say_v we_o honour_v they_o than_o to_o say_v only_o we_o love_v they_o i_o think_v it_o will_v make_v the_o court_n laugh_v hearty_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v to_o the_o queen_n in_o a_o compliment_n madam_n i_o love_v you_o it_o may_v be_v this_o will_v pass_v in_o another_o country_n or_o in_o another_o age_n but_o see_v we_o ought_v to_o accommodate_v our_o language_n to_o those_o that_o live_v with_o we_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o reigle_v our_o civility_n by_o that_o of_o pharamont_n or_o of_o china_n i_o be_o not_o much_o take_v with_o proverbes_n except_v those_o of_o solomon_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o like_v that_o which_o counsel_v to_o live_v as_o few_o do_v but_o to_o speak_v with_o the_o most_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v as_o other_o but_o to_o speak_v like_o they_o our_o action_n we_o must_v conform_v to_o reason_n but_o our_o word_n to_o custom_n it_o be_v a_o vanity_n to_o play_v the_o philosopher_n upon_o every_o name_n to_o see_v if_o it_o do_v well_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o ought_v in_o this_o rather_o to_o follow_v use_n than_o argument_n but_o i_o be_o content_a to_o employ_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o to_o clear_v our_o difficulty_n as_o for_o use_v it_o be_v plain_a enough_o on_o my_o side_n and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o reason_n be_v contrary_a be_v it_o not_o true_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o entertain_v great_a person_n with_o discourse_n witness_v our_o submission_n and_o i_o leave_v you_o to_o think_v if_o this_o word_n employ_v reverence_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o this_o than_o that_o of_o love_n or_o friendship_n since_o when_o a_o nobleman_n say_v i_o love_v you_o a_o vassal_n can_v reply_v as_o much_o without_o treat_v he_o like_o a_o equal_a what_o difference_n shall_v there_o then_o be_v between_o the_o compliment_n of_o the_o high_a and_o the_o low_a and_o wherein_o shall_v the_o language_n of_o authority_n be_v distinguish_v from_o that_o of_o obedience_n that_o which_o they_o say_v for_o father_n may_v be_v say_v for_o all_o other_o on_o who_o we_o depend_v love_n do_v never_o ascend_v which_o show_v not_o only_o that_o child_n do_v not_o return_v as_o much_o love_n as_o they_o receive_v from_o their_o parent_n but_o also_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v they_o love_v they_o but_o when_o parent_n promise_v affection_n child_n must_v offer_v obedience_n this_o compliment_n must_v not_o remount_v to_o the_o spring_n not_o that_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o love_v they_o but_o our_o love_n in_o this_o place_n must_v express_v itself_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o fear_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o god_n command_v we_o love_v he_o and_o a_o word_n which_o please_v he_o shall_v not_o displease_v man_n i_o will_v answer_v only_o that_o in_o the_o same_o place_n he_o command_v also_o that_o we_o adore_v he_o and_o that_o he_o require_v fear_n as_o well_o as_o love_v or_o i_o may_v cite_v one_o law_n for_o another_o if_o god_n will_v that_o we_o love_v he_o he_o will_v also_o that_o we_o honour_v our_o parent_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o the_o honour_n we_o owe_v to_o he_o and_o that_o we_o render_v unto_o man_n he_o require_v our_o conscience_n and_o demand_n rather_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o mouth_n he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o man_n but_o we_o have_v need_v one_o of_o another_o he_o crave_v the_o service_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o man_n want_v that_o of_o the_o hand_n he_o desire_v not_o our_o action_n except_z because_o they_o proceed_v from_o love_n and_o man_n oft_o time_n seek_v not_o affection_n but_o only_o for_o the_o profitable_a effect_n which_o it_o produce_v say_v what_o you_o list_v we_o draw_v more_o service_n from_o slave_n which_o fear_v without_o love_n then_o from_o those_o which_o love_v without_o fear_n love_n do_v often_o aspire_v to_o equality_n but_o fear_n do_v always_o contain_v within_o respect_n man_n therefore_o be_v to_o seek_v that_o which_o be_v most_o assure_a while_o god_n love_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o that_o which_o be_v most_o noble_a this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o speak_v to_o those_o of_o high_a degree_n than_o ourselves_o it_o be_v better_a to_o say_v we_o honour_v they_o then_o we_o love_v they_o this_o compliment_n do_v more_o please_v and_o the_o term_n of_o respect_n do_v better_a express_v our_o dependence_n than_o that_o of_o love_n or_o friendship_n i_o can_v pursue_v this_o matter_n and_o bring_v many_o other_o reason_n to_o maintain_v my_o cause_n but_o it_o suffice_v i_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o ridiculous_a as_o you_o describe_v it_o i_o need_v not_o so_o many_o proof_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o i_o have_v custom_n on_o my_o side_n since_o our_o language_n and_o civility_n do_v absolute_o depend_v thereupon_o but_o to_o finish_v this_o letter_n i_o must_v make_v you_o a_o compliment_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o not_o according_a to_o your_o humour_n and_o while_o you_o say_v to_o other_o that_o you_o love_v they_o i_o assure_v you_o that_o i_o honour_v you_o never_o change_v your_o fashion_n of_o speech_n i_o be_o well_o content_a that_o you_o love_v i_o only_o and_o shall_v therefore_o respect_v you_o in_o the_o quality_n
