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

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

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
