and_o immoderate_a fondness_n of_o they_o and_o here_o i_o find_v myself_o under_o some_o necessity_n of_o encounter_v two_o very_a popular_a and_o plausible_a opinion_n the_o one_o be_v that_o which_o teach_v we_o to_o be_v always_o forward_o to_o serve_v other_o people_n to_o lay_v aside_o all_o thought_n of_o one_o self_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o especial_o when_o the_o public_a good_a be_v concern_v pretend_v that_o no_o private_a interest_n ought_v to_o come_v in_o competition_n with_o it_o and_o the_o other_o prompt_v we_o to_o espouse_v such_o matter_n with_o all_o possible_a zeal_n and_o to_o the_o very_a utmost_a of_o our_o power_n he_o that_o decline_v the_o former_a be_v accuse_v of_o want_v good_a nature_n and_o a_o public_a spirit_n and_o he_o
