 in one of his lively Parts.
    To conclude, as there are not to be found a worthier Man and Woman, than
this fond Couple, so neither can any be imagined more happy. They preserve the
purest and tenderest Affection for each other, an Affection daily encreased and
confirmed by mutual Endearments, and mutual Esteem. Nor is their Conduct towards
their Relations and Friends less amiable, than towards one another. And such is
their Condescension, their Indulgence, and their Beneficence to those below
them, that there is not a Neighbour, a Tenant, or a Servant, who doth not most
gratefully bless the Day when Mr. Jones was married to his Sophia.

1 Whenever this Word occurs in our Writings, it intends Persons without Virtue,
or Sense, in all Stations, and many of the highest Rank are often meant by it.

4 »What Modesty, or Measure, can set Bounds to our Desire of so dear a Friend!«

5 This is an ambiguous Phrase, and may mean either a Forest well clothed with
Wood, or well stript of it.
 
6 The Reader may perhaps subdue his own Patience, if he searches for this in
Milton.
7 The DEITY.
 
8 By this Word here, and in most other Parts of our Work, we mean every Reader
in the World.

10 Firm in himself, who on himself relies,
Polish'd and round, who runs his proper Course,
And breaks Misfortunes with superior Force.

12 There is a peculiar Propriety in mentioning this great Actor, and these two
most justly celebrated Actresses in this Place; as they have all formed
themselves on the Study of Nature only; and not on the Imitation of their
Predecessors. Hence they have been able to excel all who have gone before them;
a Degree of Merit which the servile Herd
