THERE cannot indeed be a more
short and comprehensive lesson
or precept chan this,in the wholeEn
flifh language ; nor,as to the fpfrit of
it, in the whole system of morality or
code of religions directions & advices
for the attainment of happineft,man's
chief end. Whoever is good, in the
large sense of the word, is attentive to
his whole duty, and faithfully per
forms it. He is good in practice,and
good in principle; a good head or
member of a family—a good neigh
bour—a good citizen, and a good
chriftian. • ; 1
There needs no c^faiftry, or criti
cal gemination, to find oat what iris
to be good. Common sense, and esm
non honesty, are Efficient for every
one's information what it is to be A
good man, and whether he himfelf be
such an one. .

Bat plain as this directory is, too
man, are apt to run into ^iftakes,
especially in the application of it to
themselves. They consider both that
and their own charader ih a partial
and retrained view ; and if the, arc
good for any thing, they think they
are good for every thing; if they are
faithful and friendly ip one relation,
it answers with them,though they are
° hot to be depended on in others ; it
the, are kind and obliging neighbors,
no matter whether they regard the
Sabbath dr publick worship or not;
arid especially if they are generous
and openhearted, it is fufficient, tho'
they are debauched and profane. On
the other hand, it is enough with
lome to appear mighty precise and
good upon the Sabbath,and in attend
ing upon-public wbrfhip with demure
and folemu faces, though all the rest of
rhe week they have neither goodness
nor honesty, in 'heir dealings with
men. ~
The goadnefs of a man's character
does not consist in geuidus,or learning,
or bravery, or in any particular dif
tinguiffiing talent; much less in wealth
and stations- of honour ; but in the
goodness o(his heart, which diffufes a
goodness through his adions. No
thing extraneous to the man m&kes a
good man. Nothing but the moral
qualities of the foul, influencing the
life, an^+Qe materials of his charac
ter : Andwh^c theft are-excellent,
the character will be excellent. There
is no real worth in a man, where mo
ral worth is Wanting. Moral worth
is made op of integrity and beneyo
tente. Honefly without kindnefe is
' hot fufficienl to conftitutCa good man;
nejther is kinenef, without honesty.
The union of both is necessary to form
a good character. Where there is a
• pare and warm,a fineere and generous
heart, there is a good man. + J hope
therefore none will set themselves
down for good men, if theyare want
ing either in kindness or integrity.
Let no man think himfelf good,mere

art or profeffion, or even in the exter
