But, looking at those words, and comparing them with my former opening, I
find they are the self-same words repeated. This is the more surprising
to me, because I employ them in quite a new connection. For indeed I
declare that my intention was to discard the commencement I first had in
my thoughts, and to give the preference to another of an entirely
different nature, dating my explanation from an anterior period of my
life. I will make a third trial, without erasing this second failure,
protesting that it is not my design to conceal any of my infirmities,
whether they be of head or heart.
