custom_n be_v ancient_a and_o that_o this_o disorder_n have_v be_v begin_v before_o our_o age_n it_o be_v no_o news_n that_o fortune_n shall_v be_v spare_v of_o her_o favour_n where_o nature_n have_v

a_o thought_n contrary_a to_o i_o if_o he_o know_v the_o merit_n as_o well_o as_o the_o misfortune_n of_o fair_a belinde_a you_o know_v the_o affection_n which_o i_o bear_v she_o and_o i_o wish_v some_o mean_n to_o testify_v unto_o you_o that_o which_o i_o have_v to_o remain_v madam_n your_o most_o obedient_a etc._n etc._n the_o three_o answer_n she_o show_v that_o this_o marriage_n will_v be_v more_o happy_a than_o be_v think_v and_o send_v she_o a_o parallel_n to_o the_o news_n she_o have_v receive_v madam_n i_o find_v the_o choice_n of_o lydian_a as_o worthy_a of_o praise_n as_o you_o depaint_v it_o full_a of_o blame_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o spiteful_a to_o he_o nor_o envious_a to_o she_o he_o love_v to_o desire_v belinde_a shall_v be_v happy_a it_o be_v not_o needful_a bumante_n be_v not_o so_o you_o may_v wish_v good_a to_o the_o one_o without_o harm_n to_o the_o other_o by_o your_o discourse_n it_o shall_v seem_v fortune_n have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o

shall_v have_v of_o all_o sort_n he_o have_v for_o she_o riches_n and_o beauty_n she_o have_v for_o he_o wisdom_n and_o age_n he_o look_v upon_o that_o in_o she_o which_o least_o perish_v in_o all_o other_o i_o mean_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o soul_n rather_o than_o those_o of_o the_o face_n it_o often_o happen_v that_o time_n efface_v the_o fair_a feature_n efface_v from_o our_o soul_n affection_n breed_v by_o beauty_n it_o be_v there_o that_o he_o be_v exempt_v from_o inconstancy_n and_o shall_v never_o be_v subject_a to_o repent_v but_o in_o what_o humour_n do_v you_o write_v this_o letter_n you_o say_v that_o numante_n be_v imperfect_a without_o touch_v the_o good_a she_o enjoy_v have_v she_o not_o prudence_n and_o virtue_n and_o without_o these_o two_o quality_n what_o

you_o like_v for_o like_a in_o matter_n of_o news_n and_o make_v you_o see_v by_o these_o that_o we_o also_o be_v in_o a_o country_n of_o monster_n we_o have_v a_o woman_n in_o our_o county_n who_o all_o the_o world_n esteem_v lovely_a and_o which_o nevertheless_o be_v far_o go_v in_o affection_n to_o a_o certain_a man_n without_o any_o cause_n imaginable_a more_o than_o lydian_a can_v pretend_v

this_o word_n can_v never_o clear_v themselves_o they_o know_v no_o more_o the_o law_n of_o philosophy_n than_o those_o of_o civility_n the_o word_n love_n express_v respect_n better_a than_o that_o of_o fear_n and_o i_o know_v not_o why_o man_n take_v it_o ill_o since_o god_n himself_o be_v content_v with_o it_o when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v adore_v he_o he_o say_v also_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o i_o say_v more_o he_o content_v not_o himself_o to_o permit_v but_o he_o command_v it_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v how_o far_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n extend_v which_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o the_o same_o term_n that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o employ_v to_o express_v the_o respect_n we_o owe_v he_o be_v we_o equal_a unto_o he_o if_o we_o say_v we_o love_v he_o or_o

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

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

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

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

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
