us, Gold without Wisdom is esteem’d to be of more Worth than Wisdom without Gold.  I esteem you at a greater Rate, because you are learned.  You will be the less esteem’d on here because you don’t know how to lye.  Here are a great many that will persuade you that Black is White.  I set the greater Value upon you because you love Learning.  So much as you have, so much you shall be esteem’d by all Men; so much as you have, so much you shall be accounted of every where.  It is no Matter what you are accounted, but what you are.  I value my Christian above any Man else in the World.  “There are some other Verbs found with these Genitives and Ablatives, which in their own Nature don’t signify buying, or anything like it.” Peter bought a Kiss of the Maid for a Shilling.  Much good may it do him.  I would not kiss at that Rate.  How much do you play for?  What did you pay for Supper?  We read of some that have spent Six hundred Sesterces for a Supper.  But the French often sup for a Half-penny.  What Price does Faustus teach for?  A very small Matter.  But for more than Delius.  For how much then?  For nineteen Guineas.  I won’t learn to lye at so dear a Rate. Phaedria in Terence lost both his Substance and himself.  But I would not love at that Rate.  Some Persons pay a great Price for sleeping. Demosthenes had more for holding his Tongue than others had for speaking.  I pray you to take it in good Part.  “There is another Sort of Verbs, that require an Accusative Case, with a Genitive or Ablative, which are, accuso, i.e. I object a Crime, or culpo, also one that’s absent; Incuso, i.e. I blame without Judgment; arguo, I reprehend, insimulo, i.e. I throw in a Suspicion of a Fault. Postulo, i.e. I require you to answer at Law, accerso, I impeach, damno, I condemn, I pronounce him to be in Fault. Admoneo, I admonish.”

Ch. For Example Sake?

Forms of Accusing.

Au.  Scipio is accused of courting the Populace.  Thou who art the most impudent, accusest me of Impudence. Lepidus is accused of Bribery.  You are accus’d of a capital Crime.  If you shall slily insinuate a Man to be guilty of Covetousness, you shall hear that which is worse again.  Put him in Mind of his former Fortune.  Men are put in Mind of their Condition, by that very Word.  Put Lepidus in Mind of his Promise.  “There are many that admit of a double Accusative Case.  I teach thee Letters.  He entreats you to pardon him.  I will unteach thee those Manners.”

“Here I must put you in Mind of that Matter, that in these the Passives also obtain a second Accusative Case.  The others will have a Genitive.”  You are taught Letters by me.  They accuse me of Theft.  I am accused of Theft.  Thou accusest me of Sacrilege.  I am accused of Sacrilege.  I know you are not satisfied yet.  I know you are not satisfied in Mind.  For when will so great a Glutton of Elegancies be satisfy’d?  But I must have Regard to the Company, who are not all equally diverted with these Matters.  After Supper, as we walk, we will finish what is behind, unless you shall rather chuse to have it omitted.
