heart_n here_o i_o return_v to_o my_o subject_n from_o which_o all_o that_o have_v be_v now_o say_v be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o digression_n as_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v to_o vulgar_a reader_n a_o subject_a it_o be_v where_o the_o common_a censure_n of_o discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v not_o to_o be_v much_o apprehend_v on_o other_o occasion_n of_o this_o nature_n a_o few_o virtue_n must_v be_v raise_v to_o make_v the_o most_o of_o they_o that_o may_v be_v and_o some_o few_o accident_n must_v be_v set_v out_o with_o due_a advantage_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o a_o great_a deal_n must_v be_v forgive_v and_o the_o rest_n be_v to_o be_v shade_v or_o show_v as_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o in_o perspective_n mankind_n be_v so_o little_o dispose_v to_o believe_v much_o good_a of_o other_o because_o most_o man_n know_v so_o much_o ill_o by_o themselves_o and_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o be_v make_v better_a that_o in_o order_n to_o the_o beget_n a_o full_a belief_n of_o that_o which_o be_v propose_v to_o the_o imitation_n of_o other_o the_o word_n by_o which_o it_o be_v express_v must_v be_v severe_o weigh_v and_o well_o choose_v when_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v relate_v with_o a_o exactness_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v too_o much_o study_v the_o wit_n that_o be_v ill_o place_v lessen_v the_o effect_n that_o may_v have_v follow_v if_o the_o recital_n have_v be_v more_o natural_a for_o what_o be_v most_o genuine_a will_v be_v always_o the_o best_a receive_v nor_o must_v too_o much_o be_v say_v how_o true_a or_o just_a soever_o the_o present_a age_n may_v be_v easy_o bring_v to_o believe_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o subject_a because_o the_o attestation_n of_o it_o come_v so_o thick_a from_o all_o hand_n yet_o such_o a_o character_n as_o be_v now_o to_o be_v offer_v the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v convey_v down_o to_o posterity_n must_v be_v so_o manage_v that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v too_o excessive_a that_o duty_n or_o affection_n may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o have_v raise_v it_o too_o high_a the_o live_a witness_n to_o who_o we_o may_v now_o appeal_v will_v soon_o go_v off_o the_o stage_n the_o silent_a groan_n as_o well_o as_o the_o loud_a cry_n that_o be_v now_o sound_v in_o all_o our_o street_n and_o in_o every_o corner_n will_v soon_o be_v drown_v and_o hush_v in_o silence_n and_o then_o that_o which_o will_v be_v now_o censure_v as_o a_o narrow_a and_o scanty_a commendation_n far_o below_o the_o subject_a and_o unworthy_a of_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o succeed_a age_n to_o be_v a_o strain_n above_o human_a nature_n it_o will_v pass_v for_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o imaginary_a perfection_n that_o seem_v rather_o to_o set_v forth_o what_o our_o nature_n ought_v to_o rise_v to_o than_o what_o have_v real_o happen_v this_o precaution_n be_v necessary_a when_o person_n have_v live_v in_o the_o shade_n know_v only_o to_o a_o few_o and_o in_o a_o narrow_a neighbourhood_n but_o a_o man_n may_v take_v a_o free_a range_n when_o he_o undertake_v to_o describe_v one_o that_o be_v always_o in_o view_n that_o be_v under_o a_o constant_a observation_n and_o where_o a_o high_a elevation_n do_v put_v even_o that_o which_o humility_n may_v endeavour_v to_o cover_v in_o a_o true_a light_n the_o bright_a as_o well_o as_o the_o dark_a side_n of_o such_o person_n must_v be_v find_v out_o management_n may_v serve_v a_o turn_n and_o go_v on_o for_o a_o time_n with_o secrecy_n and_o success_n but_o the_o continue_a and_o uninterrupted_a thread_n of_o a_o life_n lead_v with_o so_o uniform_a a_o exactness_n that_o censure_n itself_o can_v never_o find_v matter_n to_o fix_v on_o even_o so_o long_o as_o to_o keep_v a_o doubtful_a thought_n in_o suspense_n be_v that_o which_o one_o may_v venture_v on_o without_o the_o danger_n of_o over_n it_o he_o must_v rather_o despair_v to_o do_v it_o justice_n where_o the_o matter_n rise_v with_o so_o copious_a a_o fruitfulness_n a_o nice_a choice_n must_v be_v make_v much_o must_v be_v omit_v a_o great_a deal_n must_v be_v only_o mention_v rather_o glance_v at_o than_o enlarge_v on_o the_o world_n be_v now_o so_o far_o beforehand_o in_o

little_o leave_v to_o be_v do_v but_o to_o put_v thing_n that_o be_v general_o know_v and_o universal_o talk_v of_o in_o a_o little_a order_n and_o to_o tell_v they_o as_o native_o as_o she_o do_v

to_o the_o great_a nearness_n and_o the_o most_o constant_a attendance_n if_o at_o any_o one_o time_n any_o thing_n of_o this_o sort_n do_v ever_o discover_v itself_o when_o due_a acknowledgement_n
