As for Brute-Animals, and Things undignified with Reason, use them Freely, and Boldly, as being of a superior Order your self. But Treat Men like Beings of your own kind, and Members of the same Society. And in all your Affairs invoke the Gods for their Assistance. As for the time you are to continue this Regularity; ne'er trouble your self whether 'tis long or short. For three Hours of Life thus well spent, will do your Business.
