Mr Newton, A Fellow Of Our College,

Because Men Believe Not In Providence, Therefore They Do So Greedily Scrape And Hoard. They Do Not Believe In Any Reward For Charity, Therefore They Will Part With Nothing.

Incredulity Is Not Wisdom, But The Worst Kind Of Folly. It Is Folly, Because It Causes Ignorance And Mistake, With All The Consequents Of These; And It Is Very Bad, As Being Accompanied With Disingenuity, Obstinacy, Rudeness, Uncharitableness, And The Like Bad Dispositions; From Which Credulity Itself, The Other Extreme Sort Of Folly, Is Exempt.

He That Loveth A Book Will Never Want A Faithful Friend, A Wholesome Counsellor, A Cheerful Companion, An Effectual Comforter. By Study, By Reading, By Thinking, One May Innocently Divert And Pleasantly Entertain Himself, As In All Weathers, So In All Fortunes.

It Is A Fair Adornment Of A Man And A Great Convenience Both To Himself And To All Those With Whom He Converses And Deals, To Act Uprightly, Uniformly, And Consistently. The Practice Of Piety Frees A Man From Interior Distraction And From Irresolution In His Mind, From Duplicity Or Inconstancy In His Character, And From Confusion In His Proceedings, And Consequently Securing For Others Freedom From Deception And Disappointment In Their Transactions With Him.

Sin Is Never At A Stay; If We Do Not Retreat From It, We Shall Advance In It; And The Farther On We Go, The More We Have To Come Back.
