will_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o he_o have_v handle_v any_o matter_n with_o a_o uncommon_a freedom_n this_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o generous_a temper_n which_o be_v free_a from_o any_o base_a or_o

of_o lame_a people_n of_o vanity_n and_o physiognomy_n these_o be_v incoherent_a thing_n wherein_o the_o author_n run_v from_o one_o subject_n to_o another_o without_o any_o order_n or_o connexion_n but_o after_o all_o we_o must_v take_v of_o montagne_n what_o be_v good_a and_o not_o look_v upon_o his_o title_n but_o into_o his_o discourse_n for_o possible_o he_o design_v to_o laugh_v at_o

appear_v by_o the_o odd_a or_o rather_o fantastical_a connexion_n of_o his_o discourse_n wherein_o from_o one_o matter_n he_o make_v long_a digression_n upon_o several_a other_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o think_v that_o one_o may_v take_v the_o same_o liberty_n in_o his_o meditation_n as_o be_v assume_v in_o common_a conversation_n in_o which_o though_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o
