7.32
Would you set off your Person, and recommend your self? Let it be done by Simplicity and Candour, by Modesty of Behaviour, and by Indifference to External Advantages : Love Mankind , and resign to Providence: For as the Poet observes, All things are under Law, and Superiour Direction. And what if the Elements only had their Course chalk'd out, and their Motions prescribed them ? But we may carry the conclusion farther. For there are at the most but very few things in the World perfectly turn'd over to Chance and Liberty.
