taught, because they found themselves

That when we can get a notion from him
how things are, (which is not always) it is
well: but that his judgment is no safer
standard for us of what they ought to

Had he confined himself to the giving his notion
of things as they are, or given to giving his notion
of what they ought to be without
struggling shutting the door against enquiries, he would
never have heard from me in this manner.

a man, a plain but free enquirer

truth could have joined hands with.
Tis not for being in the wrong himself, but for
the anxiety he has shewn that others

He [Lord Chesterfield] might have added, that

I don't know how it may prove with

the writer has again and gain been
