heaven—-Our text is a judicious admonition
to hot-headed, hypocritical pretenders, who

all their common concerns of life—Every one,
of us ought to have religion in view, at all
times— But many are deceivers with the out
side lhow ofit.—lf a man be honeftat heart ;
if he indeed enters into the spirit of religion,
and makes uprightaefs his guide in all his
dealings,^ reward is fare, sho' he do not
found a trumpet before him—tho* he do not,

He that sets up bis Rest upon edn
tingenciesJball never be quiet.
THERE is no felicity in any thing
, either private or public : men,
nations and cities have all their fates
and periods : our very entertainments
are not without terror, 2nd cur calam
ity rises there where we teaftczped
it. Those kingdoms that flood the
flhock both of foreign wars ^d civil,
came to deftruaion without the fight
of an enemy. Nay, we are to dread
our peace and felicity more than vio
lence, because we are then taken un
provided ; unless in a state of perce
we do the duty of men in war, and
fay to burrata, whatsoever may be,
will be. lam to-day fefe, and flippy
io the love of my country § I am<t>
day in pleasure, peace, health ; to
morrow broken upon the wheel, led
in triumph, and in agony -nd fick^
nefi. Let us therefore prepare for
a (hipwreck, io the port, ard for a
tempest in a calm. One violence
drives me from my country; another ,
yavifhes that from me; and thar ve
ry place where a man can hardly pa«
this day for a crowd, may be 10 mor-]
row a desert. Wherefore let us fa
before pur eyes the whole condition of
human nature, r:r.d confifr is well
what may happen,# what commonly
does. The way to m&e future ca
lamiries tafy to us. in the fufference,
is to make them familiar to u/m the
contemplation. How many cities
in Asia, Achaia, Assyria, M^cedoma,
have been {wallowed up by earth
quakes l nay, whole countries are loft,
and large provinces laid under water;
but time brings all things to an end,
for all the works of mortals are mor
tal : all possessions and their possess
ors, are usceruin and perishable ;
and what wonder is it to lose any•
thing at any time, wheri we must one
day tote all ?
That which we call ocr own, is but
lent us ; fad what we have received
gratis, we must return wi:bouc com
plaint. That which fortune gives
us this hour, she may take away the
next ; and he .that trod, io her fa
vours, shall either find himfelf deceiv
ed, or if he be not, he will at teaft
be troubled because he may be so.
There is no defence in walls, fortifica
tions, ,nd engines, against the power
of fortune ; we must provide our.
feta wither, and when we are fife
there, we are Evincible ; we may
be battered, but not taken. She
throws her gifts among us, and we
sweat and fcuffie for them : never
considering how few are the better for
that which is e,pe&ed by all.? „]
