We Are Apt To Be Very Pert

Naked Truth Needs No Shift.

There Is Nothing Of Which We Are Apt To Be So Lavish As Of Time, And About Which We Ought To Be More Solicitous; Since Without It We Can Do Nothing In This World.

Many Able Gardeners And Husbandmen Are Yet Ignorant Of The Reason Of Their Calling; As Most Artificers Are Of The Reason Of Their Own Rules That Govern Their Excellent Workmanship. But A Naturalist And Mechanick Of This Sort Is Master Of The Reason Of Both, And Might Be Of The Practice Too, If His Industry Kept Pace With His Speculation; Which Were Every Commendable; And Without Which He Cannot Be Said To Be A Complete Naturalist Or Mechanick.

The Way, Like The Cross, Is Spiritual: That Is An Inward Submission Of The Soul To The Will Of God, As It Is Manifested By The Light Of Christ In The Consciences Of Men, Though It Be Contrary To Their Own Inclinations.

Man, Being Made Reasonable, And So A Thinking Creature, There Is Nothing More Worthy Of His Being Than The Right Direction And Employment Of His Thoughts; Since Upon This Depends Both His Usefulness To The Public, And His Own Present And Future Benefit In All Respects.
