6.14
The Inclination of the generality, may be reduced to these Heads, some People are little enough to be smitten with things in the state of bare Existence, or Vegetation; As with Wood, Stones, Fruit, and such like. Others who are somewhat more tolerable in their Fancy, must have Life to Charm them; And these, it may be are mighty in love with their Flocks and Herds. A Third sort, better furnish'd than the former, admire nothing beneath Humane Nature ; But then they don't take in the whole Kind, but 'tis either the Skill, Parts, or Property 5of some particulars which Affect them. But he that values a Rational Creature without Limitation, or Partiality, runs into none of the Dotages above mentioned : But makes it his chief business to look at Home, to keep Reason and Good Nature stirring, and to assist all Mankind in the publick Intereft.
