though_o he_o seek_v rather_o the_o profit_n than_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o hearer_n he_o speak_v solid_a truth_n with_o as_o little_a show_n of_o art_n as_o be_v possible_a he_o express_v all_o

to_o make_v man_n wise_a and_o better_a which_o i_o think_v be_v the_o business_n of_o universal_a knowledge_n and_o this_o he_o promote_v with_o much_o zeal_n and_o sincerity_n in_o hope_n of_o the_o

i_o mean_v in_o the_o design_n of_o the_o royal_a society_n he_o join_v himself_o to_o it_o with_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o promote_v modern_a knowledge_n without_o any_o contempt_n or_o lessen_v of_o those_o great_a man_n in_o former_a time_n with_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o he_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o other_o to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v they_o themselves_o will_v have_v do_v if_o they_o be_v live_v i_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o excuse_v that_o which_o deserve_v commendation_n and_o encouragement_n or_o to_o commend_v other_o thing_n for_o

to_o those_o that_o intimate_o know_v he_o his_o prudence_n be_v great_a i_o think_v it_o seldom_o fail_v in_o any_o thing_n to_o which_o he_o apply_v himself_o and_o yet_o he_o want_v that_o part_n
