Well, here am I engaging in other Affairs--let me see--here's a Young Woman, the Governour's Daughter, married to Marsan, a French Officer--I don't say I'm in Love with her--and I have a Mind to--what a Devil have I a Mind to now? Or how am I sure I have a Mind? I have known my self mistaken before now; and upon the whole matter, found, I had not near so much Mind, as I thought I had, when I came to discover it to the Lady. A Pox on this Marsan tho', for being such a pretty Fellow--a handsome, promising young Dog!

A Woman may Cuckold her Husband, I hope, whether she has any Reason or no--well, there's one comfort, he's a Frenchman, and will give me as many Opportunities--but then she's an English Woman, and will make as little use of an Opportunity--but what's an Opportunity to a Man who has no Occasion of making use of one?--my Opportunities may be harder to come by, than his, for ought I know, and then--I could advise my self now to give over playing the Fool--but at my Years every thing is playing the Fool--and can any Man direct me to a better Diversion?--if I can perswade her to play the Fool, no body will think I play the Fool--if not, every Man is to be laught at for one thing or other, and pray allow me to make my self merry, my way, if I can.",2013-06-26 16:31:12 UTC,"""'Twould be a bad World with most of us, if Reason were always to rule.""",2004-06-23 00:00:00 UTC,"Act I, scene i","",,"","•INTEREST.

"At our Birth the Imagination is intirely a Tabula Rasa or perfect Blank, without any other Materials either for a Simple View or any Other [end page 382] Operation of the Intellect. We are not furnished with any Innate Ideas of things material or immaterial; nor are we endued with a Faculty or Disposition of forming Purely Intellectual Ideas or Conceptions independent of Sensation: Much less has the human Soul a Power of raising up to itself Ideas out of Nothing, which is a kind of Creation; or of attaining any First Principles exclusive of all Illation or consequential Deduction from Ideas of Material Objects; without which the Mind of Man, during its Union with the Body, could never have arrived to a Consciousness of its own Operations or Existence.

"Now this is so far from being a just reason to think the Soul of Man Material, that is is an Argument of the quite Contrary. For let us restore that Man to all his Senses again, in the greatest degree of Acuteness he is capable of, insomuch that he shall have his Imagination furnished with the Ideas of all Sensible Objects; yet you have not restored him to any use of his Reason and Understanding; not even to that of a Simple View or Apprehension of those Ideas. With respect to the simple Perception of Mere Sense he is still upon the same Level with Brutes; he is altogether Passive; he retains all the Signatures and Impressions of outward Objects, but in the very Order only in which they are stamped; with Transposing or Altering, Dividing, or Compounding, or even Comparing them one with another: And they would always continue so in the Imagination, if there were not a Principle Above Matter, first to contemplate or view them; and then to work up those rude and gross Materials into a great Variety of curious Arts and Sciences.

But then one might expect from such philosophers so much good sense and philanthropy as to keep their tenets to themselves, and consider their weak brethren, who are more strongly affected by certain senses and notions of another kind, than that of the beauty of pure, disinterested virtue. Cratylus, a man prejudiced against the Christian religion, of a crazy constitution, of a rank above most men's ambition, and a fortune equal to his rank, had little capacity for sensual vices, or temptation to dishonest ones. Cratylus having talked himself, or imagined that he had talked himself; into a Stoical enthusiasm about the beauty of virtue, did, under the pretence of making men heroically virtuous, endeavour to destroy the means of making them reasonably and humanly so: a clear instance, that neither birth, nor books, nor conversation, can introduce a knowledge of the world into a conceited mind, which will ever be its own object, and contemplate mankind in its own mirror!
