If Externals put you into the Spleen, take notice that 'tis not the thing which disturbs you, but your Notion about it: Which Notion you may dismiss if you please. But if the condition of your Mind disgusts you; who should hinder you from rectifying your Mistakes, and setting your Thoughts in order? Farther, if you are disturb'd because you are not Active and Bold in the Discharge of your Duty: If this be your Case, your way is to fall on, and doe something, and not lye growling at your own Omission. But you are under some insuperable Difficulty. If you have done your utmost, ne're vex your self about the Matter? For you have nothing to answer for. It may be you will say, 'tis not worth my while to Live unless this Business can be effected. Why then e'en Dye; But take your leave handsomly: Go off as smoothly, as if you had succeeded; And ben't angry with those that disappointed you.
