i_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o i_o know_v it_o perfect_o above_o all_o when_o i_o think_v that_o at_o your_o departure_n you_o promise_v yourself_o somewhat_o from_o our_o province_n but_o it_o

to_o my_o country_n since_o i_o do_v thus_o aver_v her_o imperfection_n but_o i_o have_v rather_o confess_v they_o to_o ●ne_a that_o have_v the_o goodness_n to_o dissemble_v they_o then_o to_o

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 matter_n and_o bring_v many_o other_o reason_n to_o maintain_v my_o cause_n but_o it_o suffice_v i_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o ridiculous_a as_o you_o describe_v it_o i_o need_v not_o so_o many_o proof_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o i_o have_v custom_n on_o my_o side_n since_o our_o language_n and_o civility_n do_v absolute_o depend_v thereupon_o but_o to_o finish_v this_o letter_n i_o must_v make_v you_o a_o compliment_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o not_o according_a to_o your_o humour_n and_o while_o you_o say_v to_o other_o that_o you_o love_v they_o i_o assure_v you_o that_o i_o honour_v you_o never_o change_v your_o fashion_n of_o speech_n i_o be_o well_o content_a that_o you_o love_v i_o only_o and_o shall_v therefore_o respect_v you_o in_o the_o quality_n madam_n of_o your_o most_o humble_a etc._n etc._n the_o five_o letter_n she_o profess_v how_o timorous_a she_o be_v to_o displease_v she_o adjoin_v that_o if_o she_o write_v seldom_o she_o fear_v to_o be_v deem_v unthankful_a if_o often_o importune_v madam_n the_o desire_n i_o have_v to_o please_v you_o be_v so_o tie_v to_o the_o fear_n of_o all_o success_n that_o i_o perceive_v myself_o always_o oblige_v to_o beg_v your_o pardon_n be_v it_o that_o you_o hear_v much_o news_n or_o very_o little_a from_o i_o if_o i_o write_v rare_o to_o you_o i_o fear_v to_o be_v ingrateful_a if_o frequent_o troublesome_a nevertheless_o if_o i_o must_v needs_o be_v guilty_a i_o shall_v hope_v a_o more_o easy_a remission_n of_o the_o first_o than_o second_o crime_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v soon_o excuse_v a_o want_n of_o power_n then_o of_o will_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o desire_n depend_v upon_o our_o liberty_n but_o the_o effect_n common_o upon_o fortune_n you_o know_v it_o well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o your_o goodness_n minister_v i_o more_o assurance_n than_o my_o own_o defect_n doubt_v i_o free_o confess_v my_o inability_n to_o write_v good_a letter_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o have_v a_o affection_n to_o do_v you_o service_n than_o eloquence_n to_o offer_v it_o and_o what_o import_v it_o in_o this_o occasion_n to_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o rhetoric_n provide_v we_o observe_v those_o of_o friendship_n i_o have_v rather_o pass_v faithful_a then_o able_a it_o trouble_v i_o little_a though_o your_o opinion_n be_v bad_a of_o my_o judgement_n so_o it_o be_v good_a of_o my_o affection_n and_o the_o desire_n i_o have_v to_o be_v madam_n your_o etc._n etc._n the_o five_o answer_n she_o reply_v that_o she_o do_v ill_a to_o distrust_v acceptance_n whether_o she_o write_v or_o not_o madam_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o you_o have_v a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o my_o humour_n see_v you_o be_v so_o much_o afraid_a not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v it_o albeit_o it_o shall_v be_v cross_a to_o all_o other_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o render_v it_o conformable_a to_o you_o in_o this_o my_o inclination_n stray_v not_o from_o my_o duty_n and_o pardon_v i_o if_o i_o tell_v you_o you_o know_v i_o not_o since_o you_o fear_v i_o if_o you_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o opinion_n i_o have_v of_o your_o merit_n you_o can_v not_o fail_v in_o that_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o my_o observance_n i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o all_o the_o thought_n of_o my_o soul_n be_v so_o submiss_a to_o those_o of_o you_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o you_o shall_v content_v i_o if_o you_o write_v often_o i_o take_v it_o for_o a_o effect_n of_o your_o courtesy_n if_o rare_o i_o attribute_v your_o silence_n to_o your_o employment_n and_o affair_n moreover_o you_o can_v be_v unthankful_a to_o a_o person_n that_o never_o oblige_v you_o nor_o troublesome_a to_o she_o which_o adore_v all_o that_o you_o approve_v you_o have_v too_o much_o courage_n to_o want_n will_v and_o too_o much_o power_n not_o to_o produce_v the_o effect_n may_v witness_v it_o but_o why_o do_v you_o handle_v i_o in_o this_o sort_n by_o your_o letter_n you_o thank_v i_o for_o a_o good_a turn_n which_o i_o make_v you_o but_o desire_n and_o you_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v and_o
