Quintillius speaking of a Pedant who taught his scholars to be obscure said he used to cry out "That is excellent, I do not [[underline]] understand one word [[/underline]] of it." --- Seneca says that there is no difference betwixt possessing a thing & not desiring it. ----- Beneath this much grown roof within this cell Truth, liberty, content and virtue dwell Say you who dare this happy place disdain What palace [[underline]] can afford so fair [[/underline]] a train. Tho' xx's mind had the strongest portion of native vigour he could derive no consoling precept from that self taught philosophy he had imbibed his religious principles were not firm, he had made no sacrifice to the calm principles of human conduct, he became sullen, & unhappy. ----
