It Is A Severe Rebuke Upon Us,

A Private Life Is To Be Preferrd; The Honour And Gain Of Publick Posts, Bearing No Proportion With The Comfort Of It.

It Were Endless To Dispute Upon Everything That Is Disputable.

Make Few Resolutions, But Keep Them Strictly

Covetousness Is The Greatest Of Monsters, As Well As The Root Of All Evil.

Neither Great Nor Good Things Were Ever Attained Without Loss And Hardships. Those That Would Reap And Not Labour, Must Faint With The Wind, And Perish In Disappointments; But An Hair Of My Head Shall Not Fall, Without The Providence Of My Father That Is Over All.
