the_o student_n father_n come_v to_o milan_n have_v borrow_v a_o considerable_a sum_n of_o money_n of_o one_o of_o his_o friend_n and_o have_v bring_v his_o ass_n with_o he_o take_v up_o his_o

promote_v however_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o declare_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o these_o illustrious_a body_n that_o they_o have_v at_o all_o time_n make_v themselves_o renown_v by_o some_o great_a man_n that_o have_v signalise_v themselves_o among_o they_o by_o their_o extraordinary_a part_n and_o learning_n and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o ignorance_n reign_v among_o they_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o generality_n or_o great_a part_n of_o they_o for_o i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v always_o find_v among_o they_o spirit_n natural_o elevate_v above_o the_o common_a

many_o of_o they_o have_v give_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o their_o learning_n by_o the_o gallant_a work_n they_o have_v leave_v we_o and_o many_o person_n who_o have_v travel_v in_o italy_n have_v receive_v much_o pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o their_o conversation_n some_o of_o these_o traveller_n have_v proceed_v so_o far_o in_o honour_v of_o they_o as_o to_o give_v they_o particular_a eulogy_n in_o the_o relation_n they_o have_v give_v we_o of_o their_o own_o travel_n yet_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o incline_v sometime_o to_o understand_v these_o kind_n of_o encomium_n with_o restriction_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o traveller_n be_v very_o often_o prepossess_v with_o the_o learning_n of_o some_o person_n before_o they_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o it_o and_o be_v sometime_o strong_o carry_v to_o proclaim_v they_o vast_a scholar_n because_o they_o have_v do_v they_o some_o service_n or_o have_v express_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o civility_n to_o they_o on_o their_o voyage_n i_o know_v at_o bononia_n a_o person_n of_o mean_a learning_n and_o part_n who_o compel_v a_o stranger_n to_o go_v and_o spend_v eight_o day_n at_o his_o countryhouse_n where_o he_o treat_v he_o most_o sumptuous_o every_o day_n and_o send_v for_o all_o the_o rarity_n that_o be_v to_o be_v get_v about_o bononia_n only_o because_o he_o have_v hear_v this_o stranger_n say_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o publish_v his_o voyage_n of_o italy_n his_o son_n have_v demand_v of_o he_o why_o contrary_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o country_n he_o will_v put_v himself_o to_o so_o great_a charge_n in_o treat_v of_o a_o person_n who_o be_v a_o perfect_a stranger_n to_o he_o the_o father_n answer_v that_o what_o he_o do_v be_v not_o without_o reason_n forasmuch_o as_o that_o honest_a man_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o rank_a his_o name_n among_o the_o learned_a man_n of_o italy_n in_o the_o book_n of_o his_o travel_n he_o intend_v to_o publish_v it_o be_v not_o of_o to_o day_n only_o that_o the_o italian_n be_v accuse_v for_o be_v liberal_a in_o nothing_o but_o ceremony_n and_o compliment_n and_o extreme_o cautelous_a and_o reserve_v about_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v engage_v they_o in_o any_o particular_a expense_n but_o yet_o if_o a_o man_n will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o comport_v with_o they_o in_o their_o humour_n and_o more_o especial_o flatter_v they_o in_o the_o vain_a ambition_n they_o have_v though_o very_o ignorant_a to_o pass_v for_o learned_a man_n a_o man_n may_v draw_v from_o they_o what_o he_o please_v himself_o a_o second_o reason_n why_o i_o will_v not_o always_o take_v the_o praise_n that_o traveller_n bestow_v according_a to_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o letter_n be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v many_o italian_n who_o practice_n that_o which_o may_v be_v call_v the_o art_n of_o be_v esteem_v learned_a at_o a_o cheap_a rate_n this_o art_n consist_v in_o choose_v out_o some_o particular_a and_o select_a point_n and_o bestow_v all_o their_o application_n and_o study_n upon_o they_o for_o some_o time_n together_o until_o that_o they_o be_v become_v perfect_o master_n of_o they_o and_o till_o they_o find_v themselves_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o resolve_v all_o the_o doubt_n that_o can_v be_v object_v against_o they_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o authority_n care_n be_v take_v to_o get_v the_o most_o considerable_a by_o heart_n and_o if_o it_o depend_v more_o upon_o experience_n they_o endeavour_v to_o exercise_v themselves_o therein_o until_o the_o manage_n of_o it_o be_v make_v easy_a to_o they_o and_o they_o have_v get_v the_o perfect_a command_n of_o it_o and_o after_o all_o say_v
