true_a beget_v child_n of_o self-love_n this_o love_n have_v no_o other_o object_n but_o perfection_n it_o have_v a_o absolute_a command_n over_o life_n it_o conquer_v death_n and_o triumph_n over_o

of_o quality_n but_o some_o will_v say_v if_o it_o will_v work_v such_o effect_n why_o be_v not_o mercenary_a player_n benefit_v so_o thereby_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o only_o act_n for_o the_o

and_o not_o as_o learning_n give_v to_o education_n for_o they_o make_v not_o a_o benefit_n of_o the_o wit_n but_o only_o by_o the_o wit_n receive_v it_o not_o neither_o into_o their_o consideration_n understanding_n nor_o delight_n for_o they_o make_v it_o a_o work_n of_o labour_n and_o not_o of_o delight_n or_o pleasure_n or_o honour_n for_o they_o receive_v it_o into_o the_o memory_n and_o no_o

as_o the_o play_n be_v do_v their_o wit_n and_o become_a grace_n be_v at_o a_o end_n whereas_o the_o noble_a sort_n that_o act_n not_o for_o mercenary_a profit_n but_o for_o honour_n and_o become_v will_v not_o only_o strive_v to_o act_n well_o upon_o the_o stage_n but_o to_o practise_v their_o action_n when_o off_o from_o the_o stage_n beside_o it_o will_v keep_v the_o youth_n from_o misemploy_v time_n with_o their_o foolish_a extravagancy_n deboist_a luxury_n and_o base_a vice_n all_o which_o idleness_n and_o vacant_a time_n produce_v and_o in_o my_o opinion_n a_o public_a theatre_n be_v a_o short_a way_n of_o education_n than_o their_o tedious_a and_o expensive_a travel_n or_o their_o dull_a and_o solitary_a study_n for_o poet_n teach_v they_o more_o in_o one_o play_n both_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o world_n and_o mankind_n by_o which_o they_o learn_v not_o only_o to_o know_v other_o man_n but_o their_o split_n than_o they_o can_v learn_v in_o any_o school_n

which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v expect_v by_o most_o reader_n that_o the_o writer_n shall_v speak_v as_o they_o write_v which_o will_v be_v very_o ridiculous_a as_o for_o example_n a_o lyric_a poet_n shall_v speak_v nothing_o but_o sonnet_n a_o comedian_n or_o tragedian_n poet_n shall_v speak_v nothing_o but_o set_a speech_n or_o blank_a verse_n or_o such_o speech_n which_o be_v only_o prover_n to_o present_v such_o and_o such_o humour_n which_o in_o ordinary_a discourse_n will_v be_v improper_a and_o though_o virgil_n who_o great_a praise_n be_v language_n yet_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v he_o do_v not_o speak_v in_o his_o ordinary_a conversation_n in_o such_o a_o style_n form_n and_o speech_n nor_o in_o such_o high_a fine_a and_o choice_a latin_a nor_o in_o such_o high_a and_o lofty_a
