Thank you for the Account you gave in your laft of the of Mens Conduct I if I cannot now account for feme Mens which leems fb wild and Why fo blinds and why an imaginary or a mere may make a Man uncapable of perceiving what is right and There is very often an in fome and too Men of good and great that is Proof the Evidence that can be They do not perceive the of where Others enjoy a perfect nor can you make any upon their or make thera feel the When Men are under the Influence of or violent or have combined very wrongly together incoherent will account for the many odd Occurrences in the at which the Ignorant and Unexperienced but the Wife are never at fuch When you are to deal with Men thus unhappily or with fuch as are ready to determine to Action by a without considering what is fit and right in or the of their Actions it becomes more difficult than ordinary to know how to Would you them for their The very Attempt to do it is made a for not following the and feem to be They what is with their own Are you to fir and not to at leave thole to whom to follow their own Fancies fb much Indo- What means this Why was mot fo much as an Intimation given Whence all of a common On th one it is as a Breach of to any On the it is as the Humour happens to by the fame as and and mot to It is exactly the fame in other Men do not govern by uniform which lead them to particular Ends by direct and but they direct one would by mere They engage without and then as as if their and their Neighbours were not at all concerned in fuch Were Men to govern by one might be that who the perfected Liberty would be the friends to never infringe it on any rhey would inviolably maintain towards lat They claim as their and actually e. from Others That They for their own fakes at come heartily and fully into fuch as are likely to That where is betwixt a known Friend and a known or one that is fuf or one that has given grounds to doubt of his Affection to that There He be who has never given a rote the upon which their depends I to govern by dated and of the even to you might be cf Buc of they either do not think at or elfe they jumble together Ideas in their and thus bring to that He will frove a Friend to who has never pretended to ferve and Thoughts and Inclinations and are to all fuch Sometimes a little determines Men to aft contrary to the they can be They will not the of Two They are to fall in the Ruin of the Man they This when it long has dwelt upon the becomes and nothing is fo that it does not to nothing fo which it does not claim a Right In vain do you recommend true the Rights of the Obligations to to to to the Good of the vain do you fhew the the the barbarous of of of of In vain do you talk of and Good or Behaviour and more in vain of the immorality or of fuch a The Man has made blind and deaf to that which he ought to pay his chief regard to and no more gives way to the Force of fuch in the Storm of his than the Seas or Winds do to the Petitions of who in the of a defire would be calm and quiet But I know no where the Effects of this odd Combination of Ideas is more than when Men quit one and go over that are of fuch a Man without fome fort of and too often a even to their own apparent Whenever a Competition for any Favour betwixt fuch a and any happens to the Preference is given to one who has no other Merit but that of never changing any rather than to one who keeps his Temper and right but has changed his Sentiments in fome particular The Man that once was our and in whom we once faw a agreeable is treated as if with the Change of one he was totally changed in every and from being a of and from having all that we is become all and all that is Were indeed the Change of Men really and truly a Change to what is Every one ought to fhew their to fuch a But This is a Cafe I am not That which fb unaccountable That when nothing that is virtuous is nor nothing that is vicious yet even good Men too frequently are and do not fie the Source of their wrong Why a Man that is a Friend to think the worfe of one who continues a Friend to though he changes his Sentiments as to the of fome indifferent Things And yet how frequently is this the Cafe The of this That upon fuch a one's Change of an and is conceived Every that was felt at rifes again at the Mention of the no fuch occurs at the mention of other Peoples What is fo long thought and fo till the Ideas are perfectly And then the hated is to be and removed out of our and any other is to be How is this Conduct And how frequent Men be upon rheir Guard not too to comply with their They allow their Understandings to and they take fome Care to inform of what within their own Minds and not fuffer to be mifled by by by any immoderate or any hafty or any to act with the Good that is in They cannot help Feeling when the begin to and whenever they perceive the very Motions of 'tis high time to examine what the will prove For when once Men wander the from what is right in it They may but they cannot their are nothing but their Harangues are nothing elfe but Jargon and they may upon but cannot upon any indifferent I Tour much obliged humble 1 FOREIGN
