can_v receive_v new_a favour_n without_o augment_v its_o passion_n thus_o when_o i_o have_v grant_v you_o that_o love_n tend_v to_o enjoyment_n i_o must_v add_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o good_a tend_v to_o it_o by_o good_a way_n of_o honour_n virtue_n and_o fair_a quality_n which_o render_v a_o man_n lovely_a and_o that_o we_o endeavour_v to_o acquire_v they_o when_o we_o love_v after_o this_o manner_n on_o the_o contrary_a those_o who_o manage_v their_o passion_n ill_o and_o who_o love_n without_o choice_n employ_v evil_a mean_n whence_o it_o happen_v that_o their_o

in_o this_o chapter_n you_o find_v i_o less_o severe_a than_o you_o expect_v we_o find_v you_o say_v m._n trilport_n in_o this_o as_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o sentiment_n very_o reasonable_a and_o i_o add_v m._n m._n be_o content_a to_o agree_v with_o you_o here_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n reply_v m._n ch._n this_o will_v not_o favour_v your_o opinion_n for_o though_o i_o confess_v to_o you_o that_o the_o body_n make_v up_o part_n of_o the_o object_n which_o love_n propound_v to_o itself_o this_o will_v not_o say_v that_o love_n be_v irregular_a as_o you_o think_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_n render_v it_o more_o accomplish_a and_o the_o possession_n of_o beauty_n be_v a_o cord_n that_o bind_v it_o more_o strong_o and_o more_o sweet_o but_o this_o be_v when_o we_o use_v it_o well_o and_o that_o we_o choose_v before_o we_o love_v let_v we_o come_v now_o to_o a_o apology_n for_o the_o lady_n which_o you_o handle_v after_o a_o strange_a rate_n you_o will_v tell_v i_o you_o mean_v only_o the_o gossip_n if_o so_o we_o be_v agree_v for_o your_o discourse_n do_v not_o touch_v i_o but_o this_o invective_n be_v too_o general_a and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v

great_a many_o servant_n however_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o believe_v that_o in_o this_o you_o have_v imitate_v euripides_n who_o blame_v upon_o the_o theatre_n the_o sex_n he_o adore_v in_o private_a and_o that_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v ill_o of_o they_o because_o you_o believe_v it_o or_o because_o you_o have_v be_v wrong_v by_o they_o and_o the_o design_n of_o well_o defend_v your_o paradox_n have_v make_v you_o betray_v your_o conscience_n for_o i_o know_v no_o man_n respect_n or_o esteem_v lady_n more_o than_o you_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o your_o love_n in_o which_o you_o pass_v for_o
