11.03

What a brave Soul is that, that's always prepar'd to walk out of the Body, and unconcern'd about her being either extinguish'd, scatter'd, 4 or remov'd ? Prepared I say upon Judgment, and not out of mere Obstinacy like the Christians ; 5 To recommend the Example, this Fortitude must have nothing of Ostentation, but be carried on with a Solemn Air of Gravity, and Consideration.
