You'l do well to remember that the World is just as it was formerly, and will go on at the same rate, when you are Dead and gone. If you either Dip into History , or recollect your own Memory, you'l perceive the Scenes of Life strangly Uniform , and nothing but the Old Plays reviv'd. Take a view of the Courts of Adrian, Antoninus Pius, of Philip of Macedon or Crœsus ; And you'l find the Grimace, and Entertainment the same, only the Actors are different.
