But, when he goes on, to object against the Word _naughty_, (as apply’d in the Phrase _naughty Master_) [4th, change 6.] {I grow mortified, in Fear for our human Sufficiency, compar’d with our Aptness to blunder! For, here, ’tis plain, this Director of Another’s Discernment is quite blind, Himself, to an Elegance,} one wou’d have thought it _impossible_ not to be struck by?---Faulty, wicked, abominable, scandalous, (which are the angry Adjectives, he prefers to that sweet one) wou’d have carried Marks of her Rage, not Affliction--whereas _naughty_ contains, in One single significant Petulance, [5th: “a Variety of”] {twenty thousand} inexpressible Delicacies!---It insinuates, at once, all the beautiful Struggle, between her Contempt of his Purpose, and tender Regard for his Person; her Gratitude to Himself and his Family; her Recollection of his superior Condition.--There is in the elegant Choice of this half-kind, half-peevish, _Word_, a never-enough to be prais’d speaking Picture of the Conflict betwixt her Disdain, and her Reverence! [_del._ 4th] {See, Sir, the Reason I had, for apprehending some Danger that the refin’d Generosity in many of the most charming of the Sentiments wou’d be _lost_, upon the too coarse Conception of some, for whose Use the Author intended them.} It is the same Case again, in _foolish Thing that I am!_ which this nice, [_del._ 4th] {un-nice,} Gentleman wou’d advise you to change, into _foolish that I am!_ He does not seem to have tasted the pretty Contempt of Herself, the submissive _Diminutive_, so distant from Vanity, yet allayed by the gentle Reluctance in Self-condemnation [_del._ 4th] {;---and the other fine Touches of Nature: which wou’d All have been lost, in the grave, sober Sound of his _Dutch Emendation_.} [_del._ 4th] {As to his Paragraph in _Postscript_, I shall say the less of it, because the Gentleman’s own good Sense seems to confess, by the Place he has chosen to rank it in, that it ought to be turn’d out of Doors, as too _dirty_ for the rest of his Letter.----} [4th, change 7.] In the Occasions {he} is pleas’d to discover for _Jokes_, I either find not, that he has any Signification at all, or {such vulgar,} coarse-tasted Allusions to loose low-life Idioms, [_ins._] that _not_ to understand what {he means,} is both the cleanliest, and prudentest Way of confuting {him}. And now, Sir, you will easily gather how far I am from thinking it needful to change any thing in _Pamela_. I would not scratch such a beautiful Face, for the _Indies_! [_del._ 8th]
