shall_v digest_v my_o thought_n of_o he_o into_o a_o particular_a chapter_n i_o be_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o give_v you_o this_o character_n of_o he_o that_o of_o all_o the_o man_n i_o ever_o converse_v with_o he_o must_v be_v guilty_a of_o either_o the_o great_a dissimulation_n or_o the_o great_a constancy_n i_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o the_o delicacy_n and_o blandishment_n whereto_o humane_a nature_n be_v so_o much_o incline_v or_o that_o pain_n and_o all_o its_o afflictive_a retinue_n treat_v he_o more_o gentle_o than_o they_o do_v other_o man_n i_o say_v there_o be_v some_o probability_n that_o the_o common_a executioner_n punish_v the_o patient_n with_o some_o kind_n of_o lenity_n and_o remorse_n when_o i_o see_v he_o laugh_v as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o torment_n i_o must_v confess_v myself_o apt_a to_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o his_o pain_n come_v not_o up_o to_o that_o degree_n we_o common_o assign_v it_o to_o be_v such_o and_o amount_v only_o to_o a_o certain_a titillation_n in_o fine_a i_o stick_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o prometheus_n the_o hercules_n the_o philoctetes_n mention_v in_o the_o fable_n not_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n of_o job_n the_o truth_n of_o who_o story_n we_o doubt_v not_o of_o say_v very_o great_a and_o remarkable_a thing_n in_o the_o violence_n of_o their_o torment_n but_o they_o be_v far_o from_o speak_v such_o as_o be_v pleasant_a and_o divertive_a i_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o in_o many_o place_n of_o antiquity_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o grief_n from_o which_o such_o as_o endure_v they_o acquire_v the_o reputation_n some_o of_o constancy_n some_o of_o modesty_n some_o of_o prudence_n nay_o some_o of_o eloquence_n but_o of_o any_o remarkable_a for_o a_o perpetual_a intermixture_n of_o alacrity_n this_o be_v the_o only_a example_n no_o i_o can_v never_o meet_v there_o with_o any_o mention_n of_o a_o mind_n soprincipled_a by_o the_o dictate_v of_o any_o sect_n as_o that_o it_o can_v dance_v and_o be_v frolicsome_a in_o a_o body_n where_o the_o palsy_n have_v take_v up_o its_o quarter_n so_o observable_a a_o prodigy_n deserve_v to_o come_v under_o the_o consideration_n of_o philosopher_n employ_v upon_o the_o quest_n of_o thing_n require_v the_o great_a curiosity_n it_o be_v a_o omission_n in_o history_n to_o forget_v he_o and_o if_o i_o be_v in_o a_o humour_n to_o be_v a_o historian_n as_o i_o be_o a_o historiographer_n i_o shall_v not_o account_v it_o the_o least_o miracle_n of_o our_o time_n which_o have_v produce_v so_o many_o such_o it_o be_v not_o my_o design_n to_o detract_v aught_o from_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o dead_a with_o who_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v myself_o to_o have_v have_v a_o friendship_n but_o there_o be_v different_a degree_n of_o reputation_n and_o though_o the_o quality_n of_o a_o apostle_n be_v a_o title_n of_o no_o small_a account_n in_o a_o christian_a family_n yet_o be_v it_o to_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o martyrdom_n of_o the_o son_n be_v somewhat_o that_o be_v more_o rare_a than_o the_o apostolical_a employment_n of_o the_o father_n what_o think_v you_o will_v be_v the_o sentiment_n of_o your_o seneca_n upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o seneca_n who_o heretofore_o take_v so_o great_a a_o pleasure_n in_o treat_v of_o such_o matter_n and_o who_o so_o often_o have_v seek_v the_o occasion_n of_o do_v it_o will_v it_o not_o be_v find_v true_a that_o that_o disdainful_a and_o insolent_a virtue_n so_o much_o celebrate_v by_o he_o which_o brag_v of_o its_o be_v at_o ease_n and_o undisturbed_a in_o phalaris_n bull_n and_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v pleasant_a be_v there_o be_v but_o the_o simple_a figure_n of_o this_o virtue_n so_o accompany_v by_o meekness_n and_o humility_n as_o that_o it_o know_v how_o to_o put_v in_o practice_n the_o paradox_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o without_o the_o least_o ostentation_n let_v we_o then_o conclude_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o he_o who_o call_v himself_o the_o most_o humble_a most_o obedient_a most_o oblige_a and_o most_o indisposed_a servant_n and_o subject_a to_o a_o great_a queen_n
