Ever since the transgresBion of our first parentg, thepua rity of human nature hath been miserably stained ; its faculties have been sadly depraved y and iti affections very liable to be deluded, influenced, and overcome by the world* 10. Enquire not into the secrets of God, but be content to learn your duty according to the quality of your person ©rem* ployment. God's commandments were proclaimed to all the world ; but hi« counsels are to himself, and his isecrot ones, M'hen they are aduiitted witjiin the veil. 11. Flatter not yourself ihat you have faith tosBrards God, if you want charity towards your neighbour ; for the one is ft certain pTect of the other. Neither follow a multitude to flln, lest God make you share with them in their pimishments, 12. Gold, though the noblest of metals, loseth its lustre when continually worn in the same purse with copper, or brass ; and the best men, by associating? themielves with the wicked, are often corrupted with their sins, and partake if their punishments. 13. Gregory Nyssen compared an usurer to a man giving water to one in a burning fever ; which does him more harm than good ; so the usurer, though he seems for the present tfi relieve his brother's wants, yet afterwards he rrierously iw- ments him. 14. Happy is he who allows himself time and leisure to maka his peace with God, and sign a truce with heaven ; but more to be admired is he, who is obliged to Jive in the midst of temptations, and yet can be in love with religion to the last moment of his lift. 15. He that only pleases himself, does himself no kindnesi, because he displeases God his creator ; who commands us to be kind and good to all men, and to do unto others those things which we are willing should be done to ourselves. . 16. If they go down to the pit, that do not feed the hungry, and clothe the naked ; what will become of those that take away bread from the hungry, and clothes from the naked ? If want of charity be term nted in hell, what will become of the covetous? 17. It is a commendable thing for a boy to apply his mind to the study of good letters : they wiU be always useful to him ; tliey will procure him the favour and love of good men, which thos.3, that are wise, value more than riches or pleasure, 18.

FABLE III. Of the KID, the GOAT, and the WOLF. W H l^^N the goat was going abroad, she charged the kiti to shut the door after her, and open to none, tili she should return ; and then to look out of the window first. Very well, mother, says the kid : if you had not told me, I should have had wit enough to keep the door shut, and to fake care of myself. At the sanne time the wolf happened to be behind the house, and heard the charge given to the kid. Some time after the goat's departure, the wolf knocks at the dbor» and counterfeiting the goat's voice, demands entrance. The kid, supposing it to be her dam, forgt»t to look out at the windovy, but immediately opened the door, and let in tue wolf, who instantly made a prey of her and tore her to pieces. THE INTERPRETATION. Children should obey their parents, who are always better »«ie to j^dvise theru than the chiidren can themselves. It is convenient also for young men to lend an ear to the aged, who being more experienced in the affairs of the world, can give them better counsel, whereby they may avoid many tfaugcrs.
