1t Is dangerous for man too suddenly or loo
easily TO believe himself. Wherefore let us ex-
anime watch, observe and inspect our own
hearts, for we ourselves are our own creates fat
terers we should every night call ourselves to
account, what infirmity have ma red to day?
what passions opposed? what temptation resist
ed' what virtue acquired?' Our vices will aba,e
of themselves if they be brought every day to
the test. Oh the blessed sleep that follows such
a diary Oh the tranquility, Tb-r:y and g,eat-
ness of that mind that is spy upon itself, and
private censor of its own manners 1t is my
custom, (says our author) every night, so soon
as the candle is out, to run over all the words
and actions of the past day; and let nothing
escape me; for why should fear the sight of nv
own errors, when can admonish and forgive
myself? Il was lit.le too hot in such dis

daily review of life that we cannot warrant

our last; one cause depends upon another; and
the course of all things, public, private is but a

There is great variety in our lives, but ali

own bodies as she pieases; but good man hath
this consolation. that nothing perishes which

that we are only condemned to the same fate
with the universe; the svens themselves are
mortal as well as our bodies. Nature has made
us passive, to suffer is our lot. While we are
in flesh, every man has his chain aud his clogs
only it is looser and tighter 10 one man than
