the_o other_o way_n we_o may_v apply_v this_o rule_n also_o to_o the_o amendment_n of_o many_o defect_n of_o the_o body_n for_o i_o account_v a_o person_n who_o be_v ill-shaped_a splay-footed_n and_o of_o a_o untoward_o gate_n to_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n live_v to_o learn_v to_o dance_v not_o because_o he_o be_v most_o apt_a for_o such_o a_o exercise_n for_o nature_n intend_v nothing_o less_o but_o because_o by_o put_v a_o force_n upon_o nature_n he_o will_v acquire_v some_o habit_n of_o carriage_n and_o presence_n which_o will_v make_v his_o deformity_n appear_v less_o visible_a another_o rule_n be_v this_o if_o custom_n and_o nature_n have_v get_v such_o a_o ascendent_n over_o the_o mind_n that_o it_o can_v be_v remove_v the_o best_a expedient_a be_v to_o join_v issue_n with_o

the_o body_n be_v to_o drain_v they_o forward_o into_o one_o great_a issue_n of_o corrupt_a and_o putrid_a matter_n we_o find_v that_o many_o intemperate_a person_n have_v be_v reform_v into_o sobriety_n by_o the_o effect_n of_o one_o substantial_a and_o round_a debauch_n and_o if_o one_o who_o be_v of_o a_o choleric_a disposition_n will_v not_o be_v persuade_v by_o reason_n to_o contain_v it_o will_v not_o be_v the_o worst_a method_n to_o help_v he_o forward_o in_o his_o extravagance_n which_o in_o all_o likelihood_n may_v purchase_v he_o a_o good_a beat_v and_o this_o in_o all_o probability_n will_v make_v a_o great_a impression_n on_o he_o than_o all_o the_o reproof_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n though_o never_o so_o forcible_o inculcate_v but_o if_o this_o method_n prove_v unsuccesful_a the_o last_o remedy_n to_o which_o prudence_n can_v have_v recourse_n be_v to_o make_v vice_n shift_v itself_o a_o little_a into_o the_o quarter_n of_o the_o next_o neighbour_a virtue_n for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o many_o vice_n have_v some_o virtue_n or_o course_n of_o life_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o complexion_n under_o which_o they_o lurk_v and_o disguise_v themselves_o thus_o if_o a_o man_n be_v incline_v to_o cruelty_n let_v he_o follow_v the_o chase_n if_o he_o be_v choleric_a and_o revengeful_a let_v he_o follow_v the_o war_n for_o though_o such_o person_n will_v
