it as proper to our age
To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions,
As it is common for the younger sort
To lack discretion]
This is not the remark of a weak man. The vice of age is too much
suspicion. Men long accustomed to the wiles of life _cast_ commonly
_beyond themselves_, let their cunning go further than reason can attend
it. This is always the fault of a little mind, made artful by long
commerce with the world.
