At every Action , and Enterprize, ask your self this question; what will the consequence of this be to me ? Am I not likely to repent of it? I shall be dead in a little time, and then all's over with me. If the present undertaking is but suitable to an Intelligent , and Sociable Being , and one that has the honour to live by the same Rule, and Reason with God himself; If the Case stands thus, all's well, and to what purpose should you look any farther ?
