The true gentleman is Gods servant, the

is his father, the church is his mother, the
saints his brethren, all that need him hls
friends; devotion is his chaplain, charity his
cham berlain; sobriety his butler, temperance
his cook, hospitality his housekeeper. Provi-
dence his steward, charity his treasurer, piety
his mistress of the house, and discretion his
porter, to let him in or out, as most fit. This
is his whole family, made up of virtues. aud
he 10 the true master Of the house. He is ne
cessitated 10 take the world on his way TO
heaven; but he walks through it as fast as he
can. and all his business by the way is to make
himself and others happy. Take him, in two
words, man and Christian.
