upon_o all_o the_o part_n of_o learning_n to_o produce_v and_o propagate_v the_o same_o unto_o perfection_n for_o if_o librarie-keeper_n do_v understand_v themselves_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o

universal_a learning_n and_o to_o this_o effect_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o their_o place_n may_v not_o be_v make_v as_o every_o where_o they_o be_v mercenary_a but_o rather_o honorarie_a and_o that_o with_o the_o competent_a allowance_n of_o two_o hundred_o pound_n a_o year_n some_o employment_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o they_o further_o than_o a_o bare_a keep_n of_o the_o book_n it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o fair_a library_n be_v not_o only_o a_o ornament_n and_o credit_n to_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v but_o a_o useful_a commodity_n by_o itself_o to_o the_o public_a yet_o in_o effect_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o dead_a body_n as_o now_o it_o be_v constitute_v in_o comparison_n of_o what_o it_o may_v be_v if_o it_o be_v animate_v with_o a_o public_a spirit_n to_o keep_v and_o
