that_o to_o speak_v in_o general_a it_o ought_v often_o to_o be_v of_o common_a and_o galla●…t_a thing_n than_o of_o great_a transaction_n but_o however_o i_o conceive_v that_o nothing_o be_v forbid_v

of_o speak_v rather_o of_o one_o thing_n than_o of_o another_o for_o there_o be_v no_o thing_n more_o ridiculous_a than_o those_o people_n who_o have_v subject_n on_o which_o they_o talk_v wonder_n and_o except_o in_o such_o case_n can_v say_v nothing_o but_o impertinency_n so_o i_o will_v never_o have_v it_o know_v what_o it_o be_v we_o be_v to_o say_v and_o yet_o that_o we_o always_o know_v

influence_v with_o a_o certain_a spirit_n of_o politeness_n which_o absolute_o banish_v all_o bitter_a raileries_n as_o well_o as_o all_o those_o which_o may_v in_o any_o wise_a offend_v modesly_n and_o in_o short_a it_o be_v likewise_o requisite_a to_o know_v the_o art_n of_o turn_v thing_n so_o handsome_o that_o a_o gallantry_n may_v be_v tell_v to_o the_o severe_a woman_n in_o the_o world_n that_o a_o little_a foppery_n may_v be_v relate_v to_o grave_n and_o serious_a people_n that_o you_o may_v speak_v proper_o of_o the_o science_n to_o the_o ignorant_a if_o you_o be_v force_v to_o it_o

it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o adore_v something_o that_o great_a nation_n be_v see_v to_o worship_n beast_n rather_o than_o adore_v nothing_o as_o be_v report_v by_o those_o who_o have_v travel_v into_o
