[116] Mais aussi elle (nature) à par ie ne sçay quel instinct, concedé une tant voluptueuse titillation & libidineuse amorce, lors que par la nomination, ou seule signification, l’esprit est attiré à s’y encliner, que quand i’userois de lettres Hierogliphiques empruntees des Egyptiens, ou seulement de signes expressifs repetés de l’Anglois Taumaste, pour les designer, sans autrement les nommer: encores ne pourrois-ie rescinder cette naïfve gayeté dont nature a voulu decorer & orner leur commemoration. (A7v)

[But also nature, by some instinct, has granted such pleasurable titillation and libidinous power, that by the naming or simple representation, the spirit is so drawn to this inclination, that if I were to use hieroglyphics borrowed from the Egyptians, or merely expressive signs (hand gestures) taken from the English Thaumaste, in order to signify them, I would never be able to prevent that naïve happiness with which nature has wished to decorate and embellish their memory.]
