It is too common an Error, to invert the Order of Things; by making an End of that which is a Means, and a Means of that which is an End. Affect not to be seen, and Men will less see thy Weakness. Avoid Popularity. It has many Snares, and no real Benefit to thy self. It is the Advantage little Men have upon [Princes]; they can be Private, and have leisure for Family Comforts, which are the greatest worldly Contents Men can enjoy. Let the People think they Govern and they will be Govern'd. When our Right or Religion is in question, then is the fittest time to assert it. To Know, Regret, and Resent; to Desire, Hope, and Fear, more than a Beast, and not live beyond him, is to make a Man less than a Beast.
