Williams/ WE havg defcahted generally uporf principles born with man, upon many duties resulting to society from such natural constitution, and we may* lastly, under one head, elucidate both, and fliew what man is, and what he ought to be* The obligations imposed by nature are the foundation of civil institutions, the basis of domeftifc assertion, and the fabric of political connexion. •The extensive and unlimited field of science forms a bright link in the great affectation; when the primitive principles of our constitution ate perverted conventional comparts muff be overthrown,.and the whole mass of mankind, hurrying into confufion, must seek the law? of nature for regeneration, lhere seems to be alio a line of connexion from the fami liar and common to the more enlarged conventions, such as from the domeflic to tint political association, so much 10, that, when the natural principles of the former are vi tiated, the latter never fail to become affected, and the do mestic abandoned citizen will be the no ltfs despicable citizen of the world. There are feme, (few indeed I hope) forgetting natural and religious ties, hurried headlong by the force of paftion, callous to the opinions of mankind, and vicious imextreme, have violated the bonds of Heaven; have revolted against the dictates of unfeigned confidence, and have facrificed the belt duties of family assertion. Does pan’s corruption then lmd.no wits? Has tlie God of Heaven set no bounds to human depravity? Are there no confines to re-echo the violated maxims of nature? \ es, the luminary confidence planted 111 the human breafl points out the paths of virtue and of truth; but all ruling pajjion has defied its influence, and made man rebellious to himfetf. To support with ho nor the official ftaff of life, let it be remembered that the foundation muff be laid at horaej that an attention to family duty must pave the way to the important station of life. Decency and honor, and refpert, will by consequence bring you on the great theatre of life with applause. In order to enforce, in a more convincing mariner, the dortrine I have laid down, I Would beg leave to fogged to you, that lbme of the greatcfl chararters'tbe world ever produced have been fodeiifible of the intimate connexion between private virtue and politics that, if we will take the tiouole to read the narration of the biographer, we will find them in private life almost unexcqnionable. I will adduce, as an example, the celebrated Thomas Moore. Contemplate this man in every point of view, as . . . > _ eftie man, iri this iiiveftigation we will find that the principles he imbibed in private life fol lowed him in the capacity of Chancellor, and that, although he was a good deal inserted by the bigotry of the age he lived ir, yet, upon the whole, hisconftancy and integrity are equally objefts of our admiration. As another example, I will bring forward the great Hampden. The prominent features of this patriot’s cha rafter are delineated by a celebrated historian in the fol lowing manner: Many were the virtues and talents of this great perionage; and his valor during the war had (hone out with a liiftre equal to that of all the other accompli fitments by which he had ever been so much diftinguiffied. Affa bility in converi’ation; temper, art, and eloquence, in de bate; penetration and difeernment in cpunfel; industry, vigilance, and enterprise in aftion; all these praises are un animously alerted to him by historians of the moft oppolite parties* His virtue too, and integrity in all the duties of private Ife , are allowed to have been beyond exception. It ought therefore to be eairieftly recommended to those who have the management of domestic affairs to inftil into the minds under their direftion lessons on the importance of private virtue; they would f'urnifti materials for reflefti on, and in time be formed into principles of conduft which no circumstances or temptations cohld remove; and all thip the more cfpecially, because, as we have before observed, there is the moft intimate connexion between the common and familiar and the more enlarged conventions.
