Excerpt from Elegant Extracts, Vol. 2: A Copious Selection of Instructive, Moral, and Entertaining Passages, From the Most Eminent Prose Writers; Book III. IV., Preceptive Classical

Let your dress be sober, clean, and modest. In your meat and drink observe the rule of chris tian temperance and sobriety: consider your body as only the servant of your soul; and only nourish the one so as it may best perform a hum ble and obedient service to the other.

Let every day be a day of humility relieve the wants and rejoice. In the prosperity of your fel low-creatures: compassionate their distress, over look their unkindness, and forgive their malice.

The time of practising these precepts, my child, will soon be over with you: the world will soon slip through your hands, or rather you will soon slip through it: it seems but the other day when I received these same instructions from my dear father, that I am now leaving with you.
