Publisher description
Excerpt from A Select Collection of Original Letters; Written by the Most Eminent Persons, on Various Entertaining Subjects, and on Many Important Occasions, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Reign of Henry the Eighth, to the Present TimeReputation, what Uneafinels and Trou will create to yourfelf, from the fevere tions of a guilty Conkience, and how great a Violence you will offer to your good Principles, your Nature, and your Education. Do not ima gine you can flop when you pleafe: Expo rience ihews us the contrary, and that nothing is more vain, than for Men to think they can {et Bounds to themfclves in any thing that is bad. I 'hope in God no Temptation has yet prevailed upon your Lordfhip, fo far as to be; guilty of an lcore An; if it has, as you love your Soul, et it not proceed to an Habit; the etreat is yet eafy and open, but will every Day become more di icult and ob ruéted. God is fo merciful, that upon your Repentance and Refolution of Amendment, he is not only ready to forgive what is paft, but to arm us by his Grace, to/do better for the future. But Inced not enforce thefe 'confiderations upon a Mind fo capable of, and eafy to receive good Counfel. I {hall only defire your Lordfhip to think again and again, how great 'a Point of Wifdom it is, in all our Aétions to confult the Peace of our Mindsg'and to have no Qlarrel with the con {iant and infeparable Companion of our Lives: if others difpleafe us, we may quit their Com pany, but he that is difple'afed with himielf, is unavoidably unhappy, 'becaufe he has no Way to get rid of himfelf.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
