Well but, Sir You set out with a profession of seriousness
and all this in nothing nothing have you come out with better than at attempt to throw ridicule —
where is the consistency, where the sincerity of all this?

My professions were serious sincere my endeavours no less
so. But no sooner had I set out than without any against
intention wish my feet stept aside into as path which, on
the account of its aptitude to lead more into terminate in delusion
& it is my wish for which I never so willingly and howsoever I may now and then
permanently put the path of seriousness. But the case is
that when an argument is to a certain degree inapposite, being covered by/decked out in false colours
it can not be divested of that covering, and exhibited
in its genuine true character shape without being exposed to ridicule.

But <del. it has on all occasions been my choice
rather to tire my readers than either to deceive them, or
to in/by any candid eye be regarded as endeavouring at it so to do.
By way of recapitulation and For a conclusion I will therefore and with all the gravity I am
master of, and at the expence of many a contagious
yawn, submitt to conclude this letter with Your Lordship's the consideration
the following positions.
