-They commanded them to consider theyr sentence but as a Tribute to the Lawe of Nature & Warre; & they shud in the Joyes of their Union, extinguish all the sorrow their Death cud inspire.

-That he was glad an attempt against his Life had setled the Felicity of theirs; which he would have gladly bought by the attempt's being turn'd into an Execution.

And the Passions of - resign'd their roomes into -

He was put in possession of his Is. which was a Felicity so farre above needing a foyle to sett it off, that his past troubles & Crosses, were not consider'd but forgot.

Madam. If I durst in any thing have the confidence to instruct my Knowledge at so uncivill a Rate, as the Lengthning of your Trouble, it shud be in his Story: Sir (reply'd Iz:) since you seeme to decline the being inform'd of his Generous adventures, only out of a beleefe that the telling them may prove my Trouble; I would by an Experiment of that nature convince you, nothing can beare that Name, nor have that operation with me, which proves a satisfaction to the Gallant Sp. but that I beleeve the Relation will be more exact by Perolla's making it then by mine; whose willingnesse to obey you I dare answer for by †mine deleted my owne, since the sympathy betwixt us has been so greate & Constant, that I alwayes knew his Hart by mine.

-And protested that he undertooke the story to ease hir & not to improve it.

Or are you ignorant that it lyes not in your Power in this World, to repaire the Miserys you have cast upon me in it.

Shall I find Courage is as greate a Curse to me as it is a Blessing to others; & shall I find in V a greater Torment then ever you inflicted for the Punishment of Vice? If you intended my ruine, why do you bring your Power in question by not effecting it; & if you design'd my Felicity why did you take Parth. to you.

- And all the reward I beg for so painfull an Obedience, is that by a Marke of your fury I may receive one of your Love; but if Thunder be kept for the Wicked & not the Unfortunate, let your Oracle command me to dye: this hand, (when you have taken off th'impiety) shall be the joyfull Executioner, of your sentence

-And that he always spoake the faire Izadora's Words-

-They were perform'd more upon the scoare of Love then Glory.

I attributed my Misery to all Causes rather then hir Infidelity: but if by a Miracle I should learne from C. that she was capable of any.

For to thinke 'twas in the Power of a Miracle for you to be one in any thing but Virtue, is a sinne greater then all things but the Perfection & the Mercy which has forgiven it: in confidence that you have so againe which I implore with a humility as transcendent as my offence; &c.

Tho I have as often begg'd & obtain'd your Pardon for this Crime, as I have mention'd it, yet I must still continue that Practise.

-In a house where Nothing was visible but Joy.

Canst thou be faythfull to Is. when thy Fidelity is a Crime, & when she makes use of thy Affection for so fatall an End as to become hir Murtherer? No no. P. doubtlesse will be more satisfy'd to find hir in the Armes of H: then those of Death.

- As If hindring hir Fate - would hinder it till the hand of Age impos'd it.
