than_o i_o say_v upon_o good_a occasion_n they_o may_v well_o be_v call_v honourable_a valiant_a and_o wise_a and_o not_o before_o but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o praise_n of_o virtue_n consist_v in_o action_n i_o see_v not_o my_o master_n how_o a_o man_n that_o live_v in_o these_o solitary_n place_n may_v have_v any_o practice_n thereof_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v now_o time_n

what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o matter_n touch_v which_o though_o many_o thing_n i_o confess_v may_v on_o both_o side_n be_v speak_v yet_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o be_o full_o persuade_v that_o more_o may_v be_v allege_v in_o the_o commendation_n of_o solitariness_n than_o of_o society_n in_o plain_a proof_n and_o declaration_n whereof_o you_o doubt_v not_o i_o be_o sure_a but_o that_o the_o name_n of_o solitariness_n be_v natural_o derive_v from_o this_o word_n sole_a or_o alone_o which_o manner_n of_o live_n seem_v not_o of_o itself_o so_o much_o to_o be_v praise_v as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fréenesse_n and_o liberty_n of_o our_o mind_n which_o be_v more_o when_o we_o live_v alone_o than_o with_o company_n and_o yet_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o have_v ittaught_a that_o by_o

which_o bind_v we_o in_o friendship_n to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v lose_a but_o when_o indifferent_o i_o weigh_v with_o myself_o the_o common_a condition_n of_o human_a society_n i_o see_v among_o man_n that_o general_o to_o be_v account_v for_o honest_a which_o be_v false_o suppose_v to_o be_v profitable_a and_o that_o all_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n by_o

be_v such_o that_o bold_o and_o impudent_o they_o daily_o commit_v great_a offence_n against_o god_n against_o themselves_o and_o against_o their_o neighbour_n so_o as_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o any_o man_n although_o in_o eloquence_n he_o be_v comparable_a to_o demosthenes_n to_o describe_v all_o their_o vice_n and_o madness_n all_o which_o if_o god_n shall_v daily_o punish_v according_a
