and_o clammy_a humour_n continue_v some_o whole_a year_n without_o eat_v or_o drink_v now_o as_o this_o temper_n of_o the_o silkworm_n discover_v to_o we_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o can_v live_v so_o long_o without_o meat_n so_o this_o entire_a abstinence_n in_o which_o it_o pass_v a_o great_a part_n of_o its_o life_n may_v be_v a_o new_a confirmation_n to_o we_o that_o it_o have_v the_o same_o temper_n which_o we_o attribute_v to_o it_o at_o first_o for_o though_o for_o a_o certain_a season_n it_o eat_v abundant_o enough_o of_o which_o there_o may_v be_v easy_o some_o other_o particular_a reason_n yet_o consider_v its_o whole_a life_n in_o gross_a it_o must_v pass_v for_o one_o of_o the_o sober_a creature_n these_o be_v then_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o cause_n of_o whatsoever_o appear_v marvellous_a in_o the_o silkworm_n if_o any_o one_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v more_o strange_a and_o more_o occult_a one_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intent_n that_o this_o discourse_n shall_v hinder_v he_o but_o yet_o i_o believe_v that_o as_o we_o oftentimes_o do_v not_o see_v many_o thing_n because_o they_o be_v too_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o mind_n so_o at_o other_o time_n we_o do_v not_o see_v they_o because_o they_o be_v too_o near_o and_o that_o we_o search_v at_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o that_o which_o lie_v before_o our_o nose_n and_o that_o the_o great_a eagerness_n that_o our_o understanding_n use_v to_o arrive_v at_o their_o cause_n make_v it_o go_v much_o beyond_o they_o prob._n 40._o why_o be_v good_a man_n oftentime_o subject_a to_o a_o light_a promptitude_n of_o choler_n do_v they_o not_o only_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o because_o they_o be_v more_o free_a and_o open_a and_o so_o know_v not_o how_o to_o dissemble_v the_o small_a anger_n and_o least_o discontentment_n that_o arise_v in_o they_o but_o let_v they_o present_o appear_v in_o their_o eye_n and_o word_n whereas_o those_o that_o be_v less_o free_a do_v conceal_v they_o what_o they_o can_v possible_o or_o else_o be_v it_o that_o those_o that_o have_v honest_a and_o good_a mind_n be_v angry_a for_o many_o thing_n that_o regard_v not_o their_o particular_a interest_n as_o for_o example_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o respect_v honesty_n and_o piety_n so_o that_o as_o these_o be_v general_a thing_n which_o come_v every_o moment_n into_o our_o discourse_n ordinary_a conversation_n offer_v they_o more_o often_o occasion_n to_o speak_v with_o heat_n and_o emotion_n and_o in_o some_o sort_n to_o be_v provoke_v whereas_o a_o brutish_a man_n to_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v indifferent_a except_o his_o own_o proper_a interest_n can_v hear_v without_o any_o disturbance_n all_o kind_n of_o discourse_n which_o he_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o be_v they_o never_o so_o strange_a which_o make_v he_o often_o appear_v more_o sweet_a and_o gentle_a because_o his_o interest_n be_v some_o particular_a thing_n and_o little_o know_v to_o other_o they_o scarce_o ever_o come_v to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o a_o common_a discourse_n or_o else_o may_v we_o not_o give_v light_n to_o this_o problem_n by_o that_o which_o aristotle_n say_v that_o choler_n be_v incline_v to_o obey_v reason_n but_o that_o it_o obey_v it_o too_o soon_o and_o stay_v not_o until_o the_o first_o appearance_n of_o reason_n have_v give_v place_n to_o another_o more_o clear_a and_o solid_a and_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v that_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o good_a mind_n must_v natural_o have_v some_o seed_n of_o a_o light_a promptitude_n to_o choler_n because_o the_o inclination_n ready_o to_o obey_v reason_n be_v without_o doubt_v a_o good_a disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o a_o token_n of_o excellence_n though_o by_o accident-there_a may_v arise_v from_o it_o vicious_a action_n and_o other_o inconvenience_n or_o else_o may_v we_o not_o add_v further_o that_o one_o shall_v have_v less_o reason_n to_o wonder_v that_o good_a man_n have_v many_o time_n such_o a_o disposition_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o anger_n so_o handsome_a that_o one_o may_v maintain_v they_o mark_v out_o more_o of_o goodness_n tenderness_n and_o love_n of_o good_a than_o even_o motion_n of_o pity_n or_o goodwill_n because_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o affection_n and_o pity_n the_o soul_n do_v mere_o desire_v to_o do_v good_a but_o those_o of_o a_o generous_a and_o laudable_a anger_n be_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o do_v so_o much_o love_v good_a and_o hate_n evil_a that_o it_o trouble_v itself_o at_o it_o even_o to_o fury_n and_o become_v foolish_a for_o a_o time_n it_o may_v indeed_o be_v further_o allege_v in_o favour_n of_o this_o paradox_n that_o the_o tenderness_n of_o nature_n of_o any_o creature_n appear_v not_o so_o much_o for_o example_n when_o it_o take_v care_n to_o give_v food_n to_o its_o little_a one_o as_o when_o full_a of_o anger_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o fury_n it_o lay_v on_o load_n with_o its_o wing_n or_o horn_n or_o other_o arm_n that_o nature_n have_v give_v it_o on_o those_o that_o will_v come_v too_o near_o they_o or_o else_o in_o conclusion_n we_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a emotion_n of_o choler_n in_o which_o a_o man_n have_v no_o intention_n to_o do_v any_o hurt_n to_o those_o of_o who_o he_o complain_v with_o sharp_a word_n but_o rather_o to_o incite_v they_o to_o produce_v their_o justification_n to_o be_v able_a to_o find_v they_o innocent_a or_o less_o culpable_a and_o to_o continue_v by_o this_o mean_n to_o love_v they_o so_o that_o as_o they_o do_v not_o proceed_v out_o of_o malice_n but_o tenderness_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o wonder_v that_o good_a man_n be_v subject_a thereunto_o and_o that_o they_o show_v a_o good_a nature_n like_v in_o this_o to_o lightning_n that_o appear_v in_o summer_n evening_n and_o be_v oftentimes_o sign_n of_o fair_a weather_n whereas_o they_o shall_v seem_v rather_o to_o presage_v foul_a prob._n 41._o whence_o come_v it_o that_o they_o say_v the_o love_n of_o grandfather_n to_o their_o grandchild_n be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o their_o father_n be_v it_o not_o because_o a_o man_n attain_v through_o long_a care_n to_o have_v a_o grandchild_n then_o to_o have_v a_o son_n and_o that_o always_o that_o which_o we_o acquire_v through_o more_o care_n be_v more_o dear_a to_o we_o or_o else_o be_v not_o a_o grandchild_n dear_a because_o it_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n desire_v or_o else_o do_v we_o not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o more_o rare_a favour_n and_o such_o as_o heaven_n eommunicate_v only_o to_o few_o person_n which_o make_v we_o love_v it_o the_o more_o because_o general_o all_o rare_a thing_n have_v a_o particular_a allurement_n for_o our_o mind_n or_o else_o be_v not_o a_o grandchild_n more_o belove_v of_o his_o grandfather_n then_o of_o his_o father_n because_o that_o his_o grandfather_n as_o be_v more_o old_a and_o nigh_a his_o death_n do_v for_o this_o reason_n desire_v the_o more_o to_o live_v again_o in_o another_o or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v to_o those_o that_o proceed_v from_o we_o arise_v from_o a_o desire_n to_o extend_v our_o be_v successive_o to_o many_o generation_n he_o that_o by_o this_o natural_a course_n be_v more_o remove_v show_v to_o we_o this_o design_n more_o advance_v and_o so_o do_v more_o touch_v our_o inclination_n or_o else_o be_v it_o because_o the_o father_n love_v his_o son_n only_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o the_o grandfather_n love_v he_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n and_o for_o his_o son_n sake_n too_o and_o see_v in_o he_o the_o image_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o he_o who_o he_o have_v beget_v and_o that_o these_o two_o divers_a consideration_n do_v produce_v in_o he_o two_o divers_a tenderness_n very_o powerful_a indeed_o this_o reason_n be_v very_o likely_a for_o to_o go_v about_o to_o object_n that_o the_o father_n have_v likewise_o two_o divers_a cause_n of_o love_a his_o son_n because_o he_o may_v love_v he_o for_o the_o grandfather_n sake_n this_o make_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n since_o that_o as_o every_o one_o know_v the_o affection_n which_o blood_n inspire_v have_v much_o less_o force_n in_o ascend_v than_o in_o descend_v but_o if_o still_o another_o reason_n must_v be_v give_v of_o this_o problem_n one_o may_v also_o say_v that_o perhaps_o the_o affection_n of_o grandfather_n do_v only_o seem_v to_o be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o father_n because_o the_o son_n be_v in_o a_o more_o particular_a manner_n the_o very_a blood_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n the_o father_n for_o this_o reason_n think_v that_o to_o love_v he_o very_o much_o be_v to_o love_v himself_o very_o much_o and_o that_o therefore_o he_o
angry_a in_o good_a earnest_n but_o if_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v just_a he_o shall_v be_v so_o this_o consideration_n will_v without_o fail_v put_v fire_n into_o his_o soul_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o think_v of_o it_o and_o will_v there_o kindle_v the_o flame_n of_o choler_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o a_o thief_n what_o want_v so_o ever_o he_o have_v of_o money_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a that_o a_o man_n have_v be_v so_o careful_a as_o not_o to_o let_v he_o cut_v his_o purse_n for_o he_o can_v see_v in_o this_o any_o indignity_n and_o he_o do_v absolute_o want_v the_o consideration_n of_o justice_n which_o ought_v to_o begin_v the_o form_n of_o choler_n in_o he_o and_o as_o for_o the_o common_a say_n by_o which_o we_o express_v the_o want_n of_o gratitude_n which_o we_o ordinary_o see_v in_o man_n they_o also_o do_v often_o surpass_v the_o truth_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o well_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o press_v than_o a_o motion_n of_o gratitude_n and_o experience_n show_v sufficient_a example_n of_o it_o among_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o discourse_n i_o will_v add_v that_o because_o there_o be_v few_o spirit_n so_o miserable_a as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v themselves_o more_o wicked_a than_o they_o be_v man_n for_o that_o reason_n know_v not_o how_o inaccessible_a the_o extremity_n of_o vice_n be_v and_o how_o impossible_a it_o will_v be_v for_o he_o to_o despoil_v himself_o of_o what_o ever_o there_o be_v good_a and_o laudable_a in_o his_o nature_n and_o to_o go_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n and_o that_o this_o make_v he_o sometime_o have_v too_o ill_a a_o opinion_n of_o himself_o and_o to_o pass_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o truth_n in_o blame_v himself_o prob._n 49._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a say_n of_o the_o poet_n and_o of_o aristotle_n himself_o in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o his_o politic_n valiant_a and_o courageous_a person_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o love_v be_v it_o not_o because_o courage_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o love_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o original_a in_o the_o temperament_n namely_o heat_n of_o blood_n which_o may_v be_v perceive_v in_o that_o the_o age_n wherein_o man_n be_v most_o courageous_a through_o the_o heat_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v that_o wherein_o he_o be_v most_o incline_v to_o love_n or_o else_o be_v it_o not_o because_o love_n be_v a_o passion_n which_o have_v some_o beauty_n and_o nobleness_n and_o that_o man_n true_o courageous_a as_o they_o have_v a_o more_o noble_a soul_n so_o have_v they_o also_o a_o great_a propension_n to_o all_o the_o passion_n that_o have_v any_o ray_n of_o nobleness_n and_o beauty_n and_o proceed_v partly_o from_o a_o good_a principle_n indeed_o we_o see_v that_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o ambition_n because_o ambition_n have_v some_o mixture_n of_o generosity_n and_o of_o the_o love_n of_o that_o which_o be_v honest_a and_o to_o opinionativeness_n because_o it_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o constancy_n but_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o be_v far_o than_o other_o man_n from_o avarice_n cruelty_n and_o desire_v of_o revenge_n because_o these_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o the_o least_o footstep_n of_o any_o nobleness_n and_o beauty_n now_o to_o show_v that_o love_n be_v a_o passion_n which_o have_v some_o nobleness_n and_o something_o of_o praiseworthy_a we_o may_v bring_v this_o reason_n that_o whatsoever_o some_o say_v that_o will_v decide_v this_o business_n by_o fine_a expression_n and_o have_v their_o jest_n pass_v for_o oracle_n a_o true_a lover_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n love_n beauty_n for_o itself_o and_o not_o only_o for_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o base_a and_o brutish_a pleasure_n for_o he_o not_o only_o humble_v himself_o before_o the_o belove_a object_n as_o we_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o a_o great_a man_n by_o constraint_n and_o with_o repugnance_n and_o to_o obtain_v some_o good_a of_o he_o but_o he_o also_o take_v pleasure_n in_o this_o very_a act_n of_o submission_n and_o the_o more_o he_o humble_v himself_o with_o innocence_n and_o freeness_n and_o without_o any_o design_n the_o more_o this_o pleasure_n increase_v in_o he_o which_o be_v a_o infallible_a token_n that_o he_o make_v this_o the_o end_n of_o part_n of_o his_o desire_n just_o therefore_o do_v the_o poet_n call_v the_o excess_n of_o love_n handsome_a foolery_n for_o though_o they_o be_v foolery_n in_o that_o they_o choose_v their_o object_n ill_a they_o have_v some_o beauty_n in_o that_o they_o denote_v in_o the_o soul_n where_o they_o be_v form_v some_o violent_a inclination_n to_o love_v perfection_n or_o else_o may_v we_o say_v that_o even_o the_o inclination_n to_o love_v perfection_n be_v the_o sole_a motive_n and_o only_a fountain_n of_o true_a courage_n so_o that_o if_o love_n have_v in_o it_o any_o ray_n or_o spark_n thereof_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o those_o who_o have_v a_o extreme_a high_a courage_n be_v the_o more_o subject_a to_o it_o or_o else_o be_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o resist_v at_o once_o two_o contrary_a assault_n because_o this_o seem_v to_o require_v two_o contrary_a disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o that_o have_v a_o soul_n strong_a to_o resist_v grief_n and_o object_n of_o terror_n be_v many_o time_n extraordinary_a weak_a against_o pleasure_n and_o object_n that_o conquer_v by_o flatter_v our_o sense_n among_o which_o those_o that_o cause_n love_n be_v the_o most_o allure_a certain_o it_o seem_v credible_a when_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a weakness_n with_o which_o man_n the_o most_o famous_a for_o their_o courage_n have_v yield_v to_o pleasure_n of_o this_o kind_n nevertheless_o herein_o their_o courage_n be_v imperfect_a for_o our_o soul_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v firm_a like_o ice_n very_o hard_o freeze_v which_o resist_v the_o blow_n of_o hatchet_n and_o bear_v heavy_a burden_n yet_o make_v less_o resistance_n to_o a_o small_a heat_n and_o to_o a_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n than_o the_o most_o weak_a thing_n but_o rather_o like_a to_o a_o diamant_n which_o equal_o resist_v all_o assault_n and_o as_o a_o sword_n cut_v alike_o on_o both_o side_n so_o a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a courage_n shall_v be_v whet_v on_o both_o side_n and_o have_v as_o it_o be_v two_o edge_n and_o two_o point_n to_o resist_v equal_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n or_o else_o these_o two_o different_a part_n of_o courage_n which_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o have_v not_o at_o all_o any_o thing_n of_o contrary_a and_o do_v spring_v rather_o from_o the_o same_o fountain_n but_o as_o though_o the_o visual_a faculty_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spring_n yet_o when_o we_o will_v collect_v it_o into_o one_o of_o the_o eye_n and_o there_o make_v it_o become_v more_o strong_a we_o do_v natural_o shut_v the_o other_o so_o our_o soul_n in_o unite_n all_o its_o force_n towards_o some_o one_o side_n remit_v in_o it_o other_o regard_n and_o in_o avoid_v with_o great_a care_n some_o kind_n of_o weakness_n it_o fall_v more_o ready_o into_o other_o prob._n 50._o whence_o come_v that_o aversion_n to_o marriage_n of_o person_n too_o near_o as_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o condemn_v of_o marriage_n between_o person_n too_o near_o be_v less_o clear_a by_o reason_n than_o the_o condemn_v of_o vice_n which_o be_v formal_o the_o motion_n of_o malice_n so_o he_o that_o will_v infer_v from_o thence_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o nature_n in_o this_o and_o that_o it_o be_v whole_o a_o civil_a constitution_n and_o no_o more_o will_v be_v deceive_v since_o that_o the_o general_a inclination_n and_o opinion_n of_o man_n testify_v the_o contrary_a for_o a_o general_a opinion_n can_v never_o fail_v of_o be_v true_a at_o least_o in_o part_n and_o the_o example_n of_o beast_n can_v upon_o this_o subject_n be_v considerable_a to_o a_o man_n of_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o beast_n shall_v respect_v a_o affinity_n which_o they_o know_v not_o and_o he_o that_o shall_v say_v that_o laughter_n shame_n desire_v of_o glory_n desire_v of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o like_a be_v not_o natural_a to_o man_n because_o they_o be_v not_o natural_a to_o beast_n will_v evident_o make_v a_o ridiculous_a consequence_n and_o if_o man_n can_v give_v particular_a reason_n why_o they_o disapprove_v this_o sort_n of_o marriage_n and_o specify_v what_o they_o find_v inconvenient_a therein_o according_a to_o reason_n we_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o for_o all_o that_o they_o see_v it_o in_o gross_a and_o at_o a_o distance_n as_o many_o time_n we_o see_v afar_o off_o a_o house_n though_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o distinguish_v the_o door_n window_n and_o other_o part_n of_o it_o and_o by_o how_o

one_o will_v think_v aught_o to_o have_v in_o it_o some_o perfection_n to_o escape_v this_o difficulty_n which_o be_v not_o so_o slight_a but_o that_o many_o ancient_a philosopher_n and_o orator_n have_v labour_v to_o little_a purpose_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o it_o may_v we_o not_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o a_o man_n do_v not_o laugh_v at_o ugly_a thing_n when_o they_o be_v whole_o and_o altogether_o such_o since_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o do_v then_o call_v they_o horrible_a and_o fly_v from_o they_o as_o thing_n odious_a but_o that_o most_o common_o a_o man_n laugh_v at_o some_o trifle_a and_o slight_a grace_n mix_v with_o their_o deformity_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o habit_n of_o a_o bouffon_n though_o it_o be_v deform_v have_v many_o time_n i_o know_v not_o what_o grace_n that_o may_v tickle_v the_o imagination_n but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n this_o remnant_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o vain_a and_o slight_a ray_n of_o

in_o a_o thing_n ill_o make_v the_o defect_n that_o it_o have_v may_v by_o their_o opposition_n render_v in_o some_o sort_n more_o pleasant_a and_o more_o grateful_a to_o the_o fancy_n that_o little_a grace_n which_o shine_v in_o it_o or_o else_o rather_o be_v it_o not_o because_o general_o every_o grace_n or_o prettiness_n that_o make_v one_o laugh_v either_o in_o handsome_a or_o unhandsome_a thing_n shall_v be_v always_o vain_a and_o slight_a and_o not_o solid_a as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o forego_n problem_n but_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v so_o be_v it_o not_o because_o solid_a grace_n chief_o affect_v the_o judgement_n and_o approve_v themselves_o to_o we_o by_o our_o discretion_n and_o understanding_n do_v produce_v a_o pleasure_n though_o great_a yet_o more_o sober_a and_o such_o as_o have_v something_o of_o grace_n in_o it_o but_o a_o vain_a and_o slight_a grace_n affect_v especial_o the_o imagination_n and_o be_v chief_o like_v by_o our_o weakness_n fill_v we_o also_o with_o a_o joy_n that_o manifest_v somewhat_o of_o weakness_n and_o childishness_n and_o take_v from_o we_o all_o gravity_n and_o make_v we_o not_o able_a to_o hold_v our_o countenance_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v laughter_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o folly_n in_o those_o that_o be_v much_o subject_n to_o it_o or_o else_o do_v not_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o ill-favoured_a delight_n those_o that_o look_v upon_o they_o because_o they_o be_v rare_a as_o well_o as_o thing_n perfect_a and_o excellent_a or_o else_o be_v it_o not_o that_o as_o our_o soul_n love_v to_o have_v its_o idea_n perfect_a and_o entire_o expressive_a of_o their_o object_n for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v please_v more_o in_o consider_v thing_n very_o ill_o do_v then_o moderate_o well_o because_o these_o first_o do_v perfect_a and_o accomplish_v the_o idea_n which_o it_o have_v of_o ugliness_n and_o fill_v up_o its_o knowledge_n to_o the_o full_a every_o way_n whereas_o those_o that_o be_v moderate_o well_o do_v can_v give_v it_o only_o imperfect_a notion_n or_o else_o do_v not_o object_n that_o be_v very_o ill_o do_v by_o give_v we_o a_o idea_n of_o extreme_a

much_o instruct_v our_o mind_n it_o delight_v itself_o to_o consider_v they_o not_o for_o any_o reason_n that_o persuade_v it_o that_o it_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o by_o a_o natural_a and_o blind_a

body_n know_v at_o first_o sight_n that_o which_o be_v extreme_a and_o find_v more_o difficulty_n in_o that_o which_o be_v moderate_a or_o because_o as_o we_o say_v in_o another_o problem_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o blame_v then_o to_o commend_v or_o else_o do_v we_o not_o delight_v to_o express_v the_o rule_n of_o good_a whereof_o we_o have_v all_o some_o theory_n rather_o on_o the_o subject_n of_o a_o ill_a make_v thing_n then_o of_o one_o that_o be_v well_o make_v because_o a_o thing_n well_o make_v contain_v they_o in_o its_o self_n and_o so_o seem_v to_o suggest_v they_o to_o we_o and_o to_o leave_v nothing_o to_o our_o invention_n whereas_o when_o we_o express_v they_o by_o blame_v a_o deform_a thing_n we_o seem_v to_o invent_v they_o ourselves_o it_o be_v probable_a indeed_o that_o fool_n do_v it_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o they_o think_v they_o can_v manifest_v their_o wit_n better_o than_o by_o detract_n and_o find_v fault_n or_o else_o to_o conclude_v be_v it_o not_o in_o many_o mere_o a_o odd_a fantastical_a and_o childish_a humour_n to_o like_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v deform_v and_o to_o consider_v it_o with_o satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o all_o fool_n laugh_v more_o hearty_o at_o monstrous_a and_o extravagant_a thing_n and_o that_o good_a and_o discreet_a man_n smile_v only_o at_o these_o do_v laugh_v more_o hearty_o at_o thing_n
