Of the inducements above spoken of I conclude with
that class which is the only one I can contemplate without
uneasiness. To no man can I ever endeavour to
give pain without at the same time as well as antecedently
smarting under it myself. To contribute to
the comfort of others on the smallest scale as well
as on the largest scale is almost the only comfort
left me nor yet is it insufficient to the preserving
me in a state of preponderant and habitual
gaiety.

Give me but the abovementioned proof of honest
intention on your part, my doors, my Hermit's
table, my very heart shall be open to you.
I say my doors: for a physical infirmity suffices to
prevent my darkening any others. On your face,
necessity, if you come will keep at the hermitage
the mask you cannot but wear in the Cabinet:
to any face no such cover even applies itself: my
situation renders every thing of that sort needless
to me: at license from your Duke you will take
or not as you think best: after hearring from me,
as you now do, that with nothing that goes commonly
under the name of politics have I
any desire to intermeddle: and that to my
own desires satisfaction may be afforded, namely
as above, without any such interview.
