[One set of things are destined to be practised, while
another set of things are destined to be praised.]
Wide oftentimes is the There is a wide interval between praise and practise. Even the very utility The very excellence real or supposed which gave birth
to the one is made use of serves as an argument against
the other. Excellence [Perfection is not the
lot of human nature.] He that thinks to
make perfection grow bring perfection to take root, should find an Utopia to
plant it in. It is so good in theory, that for that
very reason it must be bad in practise. Such is the
sort of language we hear every day from those who
Any thing rather than constituency be rather than endure the pain be at the pains of thinking, emancipating themselves
than purchase a clear understanding

, suffer sounds
to govern them: as if practise were not the object and
the test of theory. But such is human nature: anything rather than consistency.

This sort of contradiction however is not likely to

must be prepared to wrap themselves in round them, who when they have
anything singular novel to propose. Fiat experimentum, was
the motto of Dr Bacon: and, spite of consequences, fiat experimentum
shall be mine.
