speak_v in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o generosity_n but_o now_o i_o be_o well_o aware_a that_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o such_o person_n as_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o frame_v a_o narrow_a and_o restrain_a notion_n of_o generosity_n and_o to_o think_v it_o consist_v only_o in_o liberality_n or_o what_o be_v common_o call_v good_a breed_n or_o such_o like_a may_v imagine_v that_o i_o do_v amiss_o in_o take_v it_o in_o so_o large_a and_o comprehensive_a a_o sense_n and_o attribute_v to_o it_o such_o noble_a character_n as_o i_o have_v do_v but_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o when_o thing_n come_v to_o be_v weigh_v i_o shall_v be_v acquit_v of_o blame_n in_o that_o particular_a i_o have_v be_v consider_v generosity_n not_o bare_o as_o a_o particular_a virtue_n or_o good_a quality_n but_o chief_o as_o such_o a_o principle_n in_o the_o rational_a soul_n as_o be_v of_o a_o metaphysical_a and_o universal_a nature_n now_o the_o principle_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v such_o that_o they_o may_v be_v apply_v as_o various_o as_o there_o be_v various_a action_n in_o human_a life_n and_o so_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o a_o large_a and_o comprehensive_a nature_n since_o they_o pervade_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o man_n cogitation_n and_o action_n and_o be_v the_o principle_n from_o which_o he_o act_v not_o only_o in_o some_o few_o but_o in_o very_a many_o case_n and_o that_o generosity_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o this_o kind_n may_v appear_v from_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v even_o man_n natural_a temper_n discover_v itself_o in_o most_o of_o their_o action_n in_o natural_a civil_a moral_a and_o religious_a one_o and_o so_o far_o as_o it_o have_v influence_n upon_o the_o mind_n produce_v as_o great_a a_o variety_n of_o sensation_n and_o disposition_n in_o the_o man_n as_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n of_o object_n about_o which_o he_o be_v conversant_a but_o the_o principle_n immediate_o refer_v to_o the_o mind_n be_v much_o more_o accommodate_v to_o spread_v through_o all_o the_o action_n of_o a_o man_n for_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o a_o man_n thought_n and_o his_o thought_n the_o spring_n of_o his_o action_n so_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o universal_a cogitation_n be_v as_o universal_a in_o their_o operation_n as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o root_n or_o if_o you_o will_v as_o universal_a consider_v objective_o as_o they_o be_v consider_v formal_o thus_o sincerity_n take_v as_o a_o general_a principle_n of_o the_o mind_n extend_v itself_o to_o most_o of_o the_o action_n of_o ruman_n life_n to_o those_o which_o fall_v under_o a_o civil_a moral_a or_o religious_a consideration_n and_o may_v be_v exert_v by_o man_n of_o all_o faculty_n profession_n trade_n order_n and_o degree_n in_o the_o action_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o several_a condition_n of_o life_n by_o which_o they_o be_v diversify_v from_o one_o another_o and_o in_o those_o which_o be_v common_a to_o they_o all_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o general_a principle_n of_o prudence_n and_o likewise_o of_o the_o general_a frinciple_n of_o generosity_n and_o if_o generosity_n be_v such_o a_o principle_n as_o be_v not_o only_o of_o a_o large_a and_o extend_a nature_n but_o be_v likewise_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n congenial_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o most_o

and_o perfection_n of_o our_o nature_n i_o say_v if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o i_o be_o persuade_v i_o can_v be_v just_o accuse_v of_o have_v extend_v the_o notion_n of_o it_o too_o far_o or_o have_v give_v it_o too_o high_a character_n but_o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o be_v very_o solicitous_a about_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o that_o however_o some_o man_n may_v dislike_v or_o quarrel_n with_o the_o name_n of_o generosity_n because_o perhaps_o they_o have_v be_v use_v to_o speak_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o make_v up_o its_o character_n in_o other_o term_n than_o those_o i_o here_o use_v or_o for_o other_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o themselves_o yet_o they_o can_v without_o do_v some_o violence_n to_o their_o own_o mind_n but_o admire_v and_o esteem_v the_o thing_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o character_n which_o i_o have_v say_v do_v belong_v to_o it_o import_n that_o which_o be_v real_o noble_a and_o illustrious_a and_o peradventure_o they_o may_v discern_v that_o mankind_n do_v universal_o agree_v in_o these_o sentiment_n when_o they_o observe_v how_o natural_o and_o ready_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o describe_v person_n or_o action_n that_o be_v eminent_a for_o their_o goodness_n and_o rectitude_n by_o the_o name_n of_o generous_a great_a noble_a and_o such_o like_a epithet_n which_o proper_o belong_v to_o this_o character_n if_o then_o the_o
