Naturally %/at a new Author, I doubt, 158.00G.004 and %/stick, and do not say quickly, good. I censure %/much and tax; 158.00G.005 And this liberty costs me more %/than others, by how much my own things 158.00G.006 are %/worse than others. Yet I would not be so rebel-%/lious against my 158.00G.007 self, as not to do it, since I %/love it; nor so unjust to others, to 158.00G.008 do it %1sine ta%2-%/%1lione%2. As long as I give them as good hold upon %/me, 158.00G.009 they must pardon me my bitings. I forbid %/no reprehender, but him 158.00G.010 that like the Trent Coun-%/cell forbids not books, but Authors, 158.00G.011 damning %/what ever such a name hath or shall write. None 158.00G.012 %/write so ill, that he gives not something exem-%/plary, to follow, 158.00G.013 or fly. Now when I begin this %/book, I have no purpose to come into 158.00G.014 any mans[CW:debt] %/debt, how my stock will hold out I know not;[p.287] %/perchance 158.00G.015 waste, perchance increase in use; If I %/do borrow any thing of 158.00G.016 Antiquity, besides that I %/make account that I pay it to posterity, 158.00G.017 with as %/much, and as good: you shall still find me to ac-%/knowledg it, 158.00G.018 and to thank not him only that hath %/digg'd out treasure for me, but 158.00G.019 that hath %/lighted me a candle to the place. All which %/I will bid 158.00G.020 you remember, (for I will have no such %/Readers as I can 158.00G.021 teach) is, that the Pythagorean %/doctrine doth not onely carry 158.00G.022 one soul from %/man to man, nor man to beast, but indiffe-%/rently 158.00G.023 to plants also: and therefore you must not %/grudge to finde the same 158.00G.024 soul in an Emperour, %/in a Post-horse, and in a Maceron, since 158.00G.025 no unrea-%/diness in the soul, but an indisposition in the Or-%/gans works this. And 158.00G.026 therefore though this %/soul could not move when it was a Me-%/lon, yet 158.00G.027 it may remember, and can now tell me, %/at what lascivious banquet it 158.00G.028 was serv'd. And %/though it could not speak, when it was a Spider, 158.00G.029 yet %/it can remember, and now tell me, who used it %/for poyson to 158.00G.030 attain dignity. How ever the bo-%/dies have dull'd her other faculties, 158.00G.031 her memory %/hath ever been her own, which makes me so serious-%/ly 158.00G.032 deliver you by her relation all her passages from %/her first making when 158.00G.033 she was that apple which %/EVE eate, to this time when she is she, whose %/life 158.00G.034 you shall find in the end of this book.
