dare_v not_o yet_o pretend_v it_o to_o be_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a catalogue_n of_o all_o english_a proverb_n but_o i_o think_v i_o may_v without_o arrogance_n affirm_v it_o to_o be_v more_o full_a and_o comprehensive_a than_o any_o collection_n hitherto_o publish_v and_o i_o believe_v that_o not_o very_o many_o of_o the_o proverb_n general_o use_v all_o england_n over_o or_o far_o

own_o definition_n of_o a_o proverb_n &_o object_n that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o have_v admit_v all_o the_o idiom_n of_o the_o english_a tongue_n i_o answer_v that_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n i_o can_v warrant_v all_o those_o phrase_n to_o be_v genuine_a proverb_n to_o which_o i_o have_v allow_v room_n in_o this_o collection_n for_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o satisfy_v myself_o in_o many_o but_o because_o they_o be_v send_v i_o for_o such_o by_o learned_a and_o intelligent_a person_n and_o who_o i_o ought_v to_o presume_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o proverb_n better_o than_o myself_o and_o because_o i_o find_v the_o like_a in_o collection_n of_o foreign_a proverb_n both_o french_a and_o italian_a i_o choose_v rather_o to_o submit_v they_o to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o reader_n than_o myself_o pass_v sentence_n of_o rejection_n on_o they_o as_o for_o the_o method_n i_o have_v use_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o former_a edition_n i_o have_v give_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o it_o which_o to_o i_o do_v still_o appear_v to_o be_v sufficient_a the_o method_n of_o common_a place_n if_o any_o man_n think_v it_o useful_a may_v easy_o be_v supply_v by_o a_o

search_v for_o the_o proverb_n one_o by_o one_o in_o all_o the_o place_n where_o our_o method_n will_v admit_v they_o entry_n but_o sloth_n and_o impatience_n of_o so_o tedious_a a_o work_n entice_v i_o rather_o to_o presume_v upon_o memory_n especial_o consider_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a while_n to_o be_v very_o solicitous_a about_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o small_a importance_n in_o such_o paper_n as_o i_o receive_v after_o the_o copy_n be_v out_o of_o my_o hand_n when_o i_o be_v doubtful_a of_o any_o proverb_n i_o choose_v to_o let_v it_o stand_v resolve_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o repeat_v some_o then_o to_o omit_v any_o now_o whereas_o i_o understand_v that_o some_o proverb_n admit_v in_o the_o former_a edition_n have_v give_v offence_n to_o sober_a and_o pious_a person_n as_o savour_v too_o much_o of_o obscenity_n be_v apt_a to_o suggest_v impure_a fancy_n to_o corrupt_a mind_n i_o have_v in_o this_o omit_v all_o i_o can_v suspect_v for_o such_o save_v only_o one_o for_o the_o let_n of_o which_o stand_v i_o have_v give_v my_o reason_n in_o the_o note_n upon_o it_o and_o yet_o now_o upon_o better_a consideration_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o it_o also_o be_v obliterated_a for_o i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v guilty_a of_o administer_a fuel_n to_o lust_n which_o i_o be_o sensible_a need_v no_o incentives_n burn_v too_o eager_o of_o itself_o but_o though_o i_o do_v condemn_v the_o mention_n of_o any_o thing_n obscene_a yet_o i_o can_v think_v all_o use_n of_o slovenly_a and_o dirty_a word_n to_o be_v such_o a_o violation_n of_o modesty_n as_o to_o exact_v the_o discard_n all_o proverb_n of_o which_o they_o be_v ingredient_n the_o useful_a notion_n which_o many_o ill-worded_n proverb_n do_v import_v may_v i_o think_v compensate_a for_o their_o homely_a term_n though_o i_o can_v wish_v the_o contriver_n of_o they_o have_v put_v their_o sense_n into_o more_o decent_a and_o cleanly_a language_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o the_o reason_n be_v why_o the_o name_v some_o excrement_n of_o the_o body_n or_o the_o egestion_n of_o they_o or_o the_o part_n employ_v therein_o be_v condemn_v we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v either_o 1._o because_o such_o excrement_n be_v offensive_a to_o our_o sense_n and_o usual_o beget_v a_o loathe_n in_o our_o stomach_n the_o word_n that_o signify_v they_o be_v apt_a to_o do_v so_o too_o and_o for_o their_o relation_n to_o they_o such_o also_o as_o denote_v those_o action_n and_o part_n of_o the_o body_n by_o which_o they_o be_v expel_v and_o therefore_o the_o mention_n of_o they_o be_v uncivil_a and_o contrary_a to_o good_a manner_n or_o 2._o because_o such_o excrement_n reflect_v some_o dishonour_n upon_o our_o body_n it_o be_v repute_v disgraceful_a to_o lie_v under_o a_o necessity_n of_o such_o evacuation_n and_o to_o have_v such_o sink_v about_o we_o and_o therefore_o modesty_n require_v that_o we_o decline_v the_o name_n of_o they_o leave_v we_o seem_v to_o glory_v in_o our_o shame_n now_o these_o reason_n to_o i_o seem_v not_o so_o weighty_a and_o cogent_a as_o to_o necessitate_v the_o omission_n of_o so_o many_o of_o the_o most_o witty_a and_o significant_a of_o our_o english_a proverb_n yet_o further_o to_o avoid_v all_o occasion_n of_o offence_n i_o have_v by_o that_o usual_a expedient_a of_o put_v only_o the_o initial_a letter_n for_o the_o unclean_o word_n so_o veil_v
