Don't go too far in your Books, and overgrasp your self. Alas! you have no time left to peruse your ¹² Diary, to read over the Greek and Roman History, or so much as your own Common-Place-Book; which you Collected to serve you when you were Old : Come, don't flatter and deceive your self ; Look to the main Chance, to the end and design of Reading, and mind Life more than Notion : I say, if you have a kindness for your Person, drive at the practice, and help your self, for that is in your own power.
