if_o you_o be_v so_o kind_a sir_n as_o to_o tell_v i_o wherein_o you_o make_v that_o necessary_a consist_v and_o to_o begin_v with_o language_n dorantes_n i_o be_o go_v to_o satisfy_v you_o you_o

of_o the_o live_a language_n be_v necessary_a for_o one_o to_o know_v dorantes_n as_o for_o live_v language_n i_o will_v have_v one_o first_o to_o be_v master_n of_o his_o mother-tongue_n to_o know_v

some_o other_o ever_o get_v so_o much_o reputation_n by_o their_o pen_n have_v they_o never_o learn_v english_a but_o at_o their_o nurse_n next_o to_o one_o mother-tongue_n one_o ought_v to_o know_v

it_o be_v about_o thirty_o year_n ago_o that_o the_o french_a tongue_n by_o a_o surprise_a revolution_n be_v become_v the_o general_a language_n of_o all_o court_n and_o gentleman_n in_o europe_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o one_o to_o understand_v it_o well_o lisidor_n as_o far_o as_o i_o see_v the_o french_a have_v a_o great_a advantage_n over_o other_o nation_n since_o they_o need_v not_o be_v trouble_v to_o learn_v any_o other_o language_n but_o their_o own_o dorantes_n it_o be_v very_o true_a however_o most_o courtier_n and_o scholar_n in_o france_n make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o speak_v italian_a and_o spanish_a and_o most_o officer_n in_o the_o army_n learn_v the_o german_a tongue_n which_o be_v mighty_a useful_a to_o they_o in_o their_o frequent_a war_n upon_o the_o rhine_n and_o in_o flanders_n lisidor_n do_v you_o not_o think_v it_o fit_a for_o a_o english_a man_n to_o learn_v all_o these_o language_n dorantes_n i_o think_v that_o a_o englishman_n who_o be_v master_n of_o his_o latin_a and_o french_a except_o he_o have_v private_a business_n either_o in_o spain_n or_o germany_n may_v very_o well_o make_v shift_n without_o

iii_o between_o the_o same_o of_o philosophy_n lisidor_n sir_n shall_v we_o now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o philosophy_n dorantes_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n the_o word_n philosophy_n be_v greek_a and_o signify_v the_o love_n of_o wisdom_n this_o be_v former_o the_o first_o of_o all_o science_n or_o rather_o it_o comprehend_v they_o all_o philosopher_n among_o the_o ancient_n determine_v the_o

since_o the_o world_n have_v be_v enlighten_v by_o the_o gospel_n philosophy_n be_v confine_v within_o narrow_a limit_n and_o it_o be_v now_o little_o use_v but_o to_o direct_v the_o mind_n in_o the_o inquiry_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o natural_a thing_n '_o sis_fw-la common_o divide_v in_o school_n in_o four_o part_n viz._n logic_n metaphysic_n physic_n or_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o moral_n i._o logic_n be_v that_o part_n of_o philosophy_n that_o teach_v we_o to_o reason_n and_o to_o direct_v the_o understanding_n in_o the_o enquiry_n of_o truth_n ii_o metaphysic_n treat_v of_o thing_n supernatural_a or_o mere_o spiritual_a iii_o physic_n or_o natural_a philosophy_n explain_v the_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o the_o propriety_n of_o body_n iu_o moral_n treat_v of_o felicity_n and_o teach_v man_n how_o to_o rule_v their_o passion_n lisidor_n do_v you_o think_v it_o necessary_a for_o a_o gentleman_n to_o study_v these_o four_o part_n of_o philosophy_n dorantes_n there_o be_v but_o logic_n which_o i_o think_v necessary_a because_o of_o the_o great_a use_n it_o may_v be_v in_o all_o the_o rencounter_n of_o life_n but_o i_o can_v wish_v it_o be_v teach_v in_o a_o easy_a short_a and_o plain_a method_n than_o it_o be_v common_o as_o for_o metaphysic_n it_o be_v too_o painful_a if_o not_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o capacity_n natural_a philosophy_n be_v too_o uncertain_a to_o be_v worth_a our_o application_n and_o my_o advice_n upon_o this_o matter_n be_v that_o one_o shall_v read_v as_o a_o history_n the_o abridgement_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o most_o eminent_a man_n that_o have_v treat_v of_o it_o scuh_o as_o plato_n aristotle_n zeno_n epicurus_n descartes_n gassendi_n for_o than_o he_o will_v see_v that_o they_o agree_v upon_o nothing_o and_o he_o will_v admire_v how_o any_o think_a man_n can_v spend_v his_o life_n to_o seek_v after_o unprofitable_a thing_n as_o for_o moral_n no_o question_n but_o they_o be_v very_o necessary_a since_o they_o aim_v to_o direct_v we_o towards_o happiness_n but_o those_o of_o philosopher_n be_v no_o true_a moral_n because_o they_o only_o draw_v their_o principle_n from_o reason_n when_o the_o moral_n of_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v ground_v not_o only_o upon_o reason_n but_o also_o upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o
