of_o metaphysics_n ethics_n politics_n economics_n poesy_n and_o oratory_n you_o see_v sir_n how_o thick_a they_o come_v together_o and_o yet_o the_o chap._n consist_v but_o of_o three_o leaf_n and_o

though_o by_o a_o special_a gift_n he_o have_v multiply_v it_o into_o three_o argument_n that_o metaphysics_n be_v of_o no_o profit_n but_o to_o obscure_v the_o truth_n have_v produce_v none_o but_o weak_a frivolous_a opinion_n concerning_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o poisonous_a cockatrice_n egg_n of_o altercation_n i_o answer_v sir_n that_o i_o have_v no_o inclination_n to_o grapple_v with_o the_o wind_n or_o deal_v with_o wild_a universalitye_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v much_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o and_o amend_v in_o the_o metaphysics_n but_o that_o upon_o this_o occasion_n he_o have_v only_o discover_v a_o art_n he_o have_v which_o may_v have_v save_v he_o the_o labour_n of_o all_o particular_n by_o say_v at_o once_o both_o to_o the_o school_n and_o science_n that_o they_o be_v evil_a and_o not_o good_a yea_o even_o wicked_a frivolous_a and_o abominable_a his_o next_o touch_n be_v at_o ethics_n and_o his_o exception_n be_v 1._o against_o aristotle_n who_o be_v a_o heathen_a and_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o you_o say_v sir_n mr_n webster_n be_v a_o friar_n yet_o aristotle_n acknowledge_v a_o first_o mover_n and_o if_o that_o be_v not_o god_n what_o be_v it_o 2._o he_o place_v the_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la in_o the_o exercise_n of_o virtue_n but_o the_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la be_v not_o attaineable_a in_o this_o life_n but_o he_o be_v dispute_v what_o be_v the_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la in_o this_o life_n and_o if_o virtue_n be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n eternal_a it_o be_v certain_o that_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la 3._o they_o have_v teach_v nothing_o practicable_a we_o be_v sorry_a that_o mr_n webster_n find_v justice_n prudence_n temperance_n modesty_n etc._n etc._n unpracticable_a but_o so_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v with_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v our_o reformer_n 4._o aristotle_n take_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o that_o which_o be_v deduce_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o be_v unjust_o prefer_v before_o socrates_n plato_n zeno_n seneca_n epictetus_n who_o contain_v more_o precious_a treasure_n but_o where_o be_v it_o o_o thou_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o thou_o may_v

scultetus_n amesius_n aquinas_n other_o beside_o all_o those_o author_n you_o have_v mention_v read_v and_o study_v and_o prefer_v before_o he_o in_o the_o university_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v unto_o thou_o o_o thou_o lease_v tongue_n politics_n his_o exception_n against_o the_o politics_n read_v in_o the_o university_n be_v very_o faint_a and_o thin_a be_v only_o this_o that_o plato_n bodin_n machavell_n be_v as_o good_a as_o aristotle_n though_o he_o have_v many_o thing_n of_o singular_a use_n which_o be_v the_o first_o good_a word_n he_o have_v give_v he_o and_o that_o our_o country_n man_n m._n hobbs_n be_v more_o profound_a and_o yet_o we_o read_v aristotle_n in_o the_o university_n rhetoric_n and_o the_o same_o be_v his_o exception_n against_o rhetoric_n we_o read_v aristotle_n and_o spend_v too_o much_o time_n upon_o ornamental_a oratory_n and_o poetry_n which_o be_v gift_n of_o nature_n ans._n have_v this_o man_n find_v any_o one_o that_o have_v write_v whole_a book_n against_o these_o art_n of_o aristotle_n so_o as_o gassendus_fw-la helmont_n etc._n etc._n against_o his_o logic_n and_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o a_o translator_n ready_a to_o assist_v he_o these_o art_n and_o science_n have_v not_o thus_o escape_v he_o now_o he_o can_v only_o clatter_v at_o aristotle_n and_o clamour_n against_o the_o school_n for_o read_v he_o plato_n bodin_n macchiavel_n be_v as_o good_a as_o aristotle_n well_o and_o aristotle_n as_o good_a as_o they_o what_o then_o but_o mr_n hobbs_n be_v more_o profound_a etc._n etc._n it_o be_v true_a our_o theologue_n say_v he_o be_v bottom_v in_o the_o great_a abyss_n again_o aristotle_n in_o his_o rhetoric_n must_v give_v way_n to_o plato_n i_o will_v not_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o you_o sir_n
