What need you be Anxious about the Event, when you may examine the Enterprize, and debate the Reasonableness of it ? If you find it practicable and proper, go on, and let nothing divert you. But if you can't see through it, make a halt, and take the best Advice upon the Case. And if your Measures happen to be broken by some new Emergency, make the most of what is in your Power, and always stick to the point of Honesty : For after all, that is the best Stake in the Hedge: For, tho' the grand Design may not succeed, yet when 'tis fairly undertaken, and well managed, it makes one easy under the Miscarriage : Reason and Justice are pleasant Companions; and those that keep to them, are always satisfied, and in good Humour.
