Reputation, what Uneafinels and Trou will create to yourfelf, from the fevere tions of a guilty Conkience, and how great 3. 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 thews us the contrary, and that nothing is more vain, than for Men to think they can fer Bounds to themfelves 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 loofe Aé't; if it has, as you love flour Soul, et it not proceed to an Habit; the etreat is yet eafy and open, but will every Day become more difficult and obfitufited. 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 xcon'fiderations upon a Mind fo capable of, and eafy to receive good Counfel. I 01311 only defire your Lordfhip to think again and again, how great a Point of Wifdom it is, in all our Acftions to confult the Peace of our Mindsfand to have no Qlarrel with the con {taut and infeparable Companion of our Lives if others difpleafe us, we may quit their Com pany, but he that is difple'afed with himlelf, i; unavoidably unhappy, becaufe he has no Way to get rid of himfelf.
