of_o the_o life_n of_o atticus_n such_o thing_n as_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o great_a mean_n of_o his_o unexampled_a peace_n safety_n honour_n tranquillity_n and_o happiness_n in_o a_o continue_a

with_o some_o caution_n touch_v it_o the_o observation_n be_v these_o 1._o that_o most_o certain_o virtue_n goodness_n and_o integrity_n be_v the_o best_a policy_n and_o great_a mean_n of_o safety_n in_o the_o most_o dangerous_a time_n and_o place_n 2._o that_o most_o certain_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n and_o integrity_n be_v the_o true_a way_n for_o any_o man_n to_o gain_v true_a honour_n veneration_n and_o esteem_v among_o man_n it_o be_v more_o conducible_a than_o riches_n and_o army_n and_o triumph_n and_o victory_n 3._o that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o true_a way_n to_o get_v honour_n so_o it_o be_v the_o best_a mean_n to_o keep_v it_o because_o such_o a_o honour_n have_v not_o its_o dependence_n upon_o any_o thing_n without_o a_o man_n his_o fortune_n wealth_n power_n or_o

to_o be_v honour_v till_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v good_a 4._o that_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a veneration_n of_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n in_o all_o man_n even_o in_o the_o worst_a and_o vile_a a_o

connaturality_n to_o humane_a nature_n and_o be_v the_o true_a genuine_a spirit_n or_o genius_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o be_v evident_a 1._o by_o the_o great_a good_a it_o procure_v to_o humane_a nature_n honour_n and_o safety_n and_o 2._o by_o the_o great_a esteem_n that_o mankind_n have_v of_o it_o and_o the_o common_a interest_n it_o obtain_v in_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o mankind_n chap._n fourteen_o touch_v certain_a caution_n to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o observation_n and_o imitation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o atticus_n in_o public_a collision_n of_o faction_n we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o former_a discourse_n not_o only_o the_o singular_a virtue_n and_o goodness_n of_o atticus_n but_o also_o his_o admirable_a safety_n in_o time_n of_o public_a faction_n and_o commotion_n in_o the_o state_n of_o rome_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o his_o life_n some_o thing_n practise_v by_o he_o with_o great_a success_n and_o security_n which_o yet_o be_v thing_n of_o great_a danger_n and_o hazard_n and_o possible_o such_o as_o may_v not_o be_v undertake_v or_o adventure_v upon_o by_o other_o and_o exceed_v the_o limit_n of_o common_a example_n when_o a_o person_n be_v by_o the_o lawful_a supreme_a authority_n of_o a_o state_n or_o country_n declare_v a_o public_a enemy_n or_o a_o traitor_n proscribe_v or_o banish_v ordinary_o common_a humanity_n of_o all_o state_n allow_v of_o relief_n and_o support_v to_o his_o wife_n child_n family_n servant_n and_o dependent_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o always_o forbid_v supply_n to_o be_v

by_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o the_o roman_a state_n according_a to_o the_o settle_a law_n of_o that_o state_n must_v needs_o be_v under_o a_o violation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o subject_v to_o the_o danger_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o arise_v from_o violation_n of_o public_a law_n beside_o it_o may_v seem_v this_o liberty_n take_v by_o atticus_n of_o relieve_v person_n thus_o declare_v enemy_n

for_o many_o year_n and_o though_o in_o all_o that_o time_n there_o have_v be_v man_n of_o spirit_n and_o ambitious_a enough_o to_o trouble_v a_o state_n and_o there_o want_v not_o frequent_a brawl_n
