to_o the_o study_n thereof_o it_o have_v give_v we_o opportunity_n of_o great_a improvement_n by_o reduce_v it_o to_o a_o more_o distinct_a and_o easy_a method_n than_o former_o and_o we_o find_v

that_o so_o we_o may_v avoid_v a_o infinity_o but_o here_o we_o may_v make_v two_o considerable_a remark_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o do_v concern_v ourselves_o here_o with_o that_o happiness_n mention_v by_o the_o sacred_a penman_n when_o they_o tell_v we_o how_o happy_a that_o man_n be_v who_o be_v assist_v with_o the_o divine_a influence_n betake_v himself_o entire_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o be_v fill_v with_o faith_n and_o hope_n and_o inflame_v with_o charity_n spend_v his_o life_n in_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n nor_o shall_v we_o treat_v of_o that_o which_o may_v be_v call_v natural_a happiness_n because_o it_o may_v be_v obtain_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n be_v such_o as_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n do_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o enjoy_v here_o on_o earth_n the_o second_o be_v that_o by_o this_o natural_a felicity_n that_o we_o here_o treat_v of_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v such_o a_o state_n of_o life_n as_o we_o can_v imagine_v a_o better_a a_o more_o pleasant_a and_o more_o desirable_a in_o the_o which_o we_o can_v apprehend_v any_o evil_n nor_o think_v of_o any_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o shall_v not_o possess_v nor_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o do_v but_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o accomplish_v it_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v remain_v fix_v and_o unchangeable_a but_o we_o understand_v such_o a_o certain_a state_n of_o life_n in_o which_o we_o may_v be_v as_o happy_a as_o be_v possible_a in_o which_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o very_o few_o of_o any_o sort_n of_o evil_n and_o in_o which_o consequent_o we_o may_v lead_v as_o easy_a quiet_a and_o undisturbed_a a_o life_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o country_n the_o society_n we_o converse_v with_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o body_n the_o manner_n of_o our_o life_n our_o age_n and_o other_o circumstance_n will_v permit_v for_o to_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o more_o than_o this_o or_o to_o affect_v during_o the_o course_n of_o our_o natural_a life_n the_o high_a felicity_n be_v not_o to_o acknowledge_v but_o rather_o forget_v ourselves_o to_o be_v man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v weak_a and_o feeble_a animal_n who_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o mischief_n and_o evil_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o we_o usual_o say_v a_o wise_a man_n though_o torment_v with_o exquisite_a pain_n may_v nevertheless_o be_v happy_a not_o in_o a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a sense_n but_o he_o may_v attain_v to_o that_o degree_n that_o we_o call_v human_a happiness_n which_o the_o wise_a man_n always_o enjoy_v in_o that_o measure_n that_o the_o circumstance_n will_v permit_v because_o he_o do_v increase_v his_o misery_n either_o by_o impatience_n or_o despair_n but_o rather_o abate_v it_o by_o his_o constancy_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o be_v happy_a or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o he_o be_v less_o miserable_a than_o if_o he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v deject_v as_o other_o in_o like_a case_n who_o bear_v not_o their_o misfortune_n with_o the_o same_o patience_n and_o constancy_n of_o mind_n and_o who_o beside_o be_v not_o supply_v with_o the_o same_o encouragement_n from_o wisdom_n as_o he_o have_v such_o i_o mean_v as_o a_o innocent_a life_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n which_o always_o afford_v great_a quiet_a and_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o mind_n wherefore_o it_o be_v improper_a to_o use_v this_o kind_n of_o expression_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o a_o

desire_v to_o be_v exempt_a and_o wish_v much_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v not_o or_o that_o he_o may_v not_o suffer_v by_o they_o but_o when_o they_o come_v upon_o he_o he_o consider_v they_o as_o
