mean the true knowledge and worship !
of thy Creator and redeemer, without
which all other tilings are vaui and mis

y~to the end that entering into thii e|,-
orbitant age thou inayest be the better
prepared to shun: those scandalous
courses whereunto the ,WoHdv and v the
lack of experience , may . easily ctegjwr’
thee. And, because I iyHl not cpnfdfmd
thy memory, I have reduced them into
ten precepts, and, next, unto Moses*
Tables, if thou imprjnt them in thy
mind, thou shalt reap tfee benefit, and
1 the content. And they are these fol-£
lowing. . x
1. When it shall please God to bring
theb to man’s estate, use -reat provi
dence and circumspection in choosing
tliy wife ; for from thence will spring
Sill thy future good or evil / and it is an
action of life, like unto a stratagem of
tvar, wherein a man can err but once.—
If thy state be good, match near* home
and at leisure ; if weak, far off. and
quickly. Inquire diligently of her dis
position and how her parents have been
inclined in her Youth Let her not be
poor, how reo u-ous well borne soever,
for a man can buy nothing in the market
with gen ihty ; nor choose a base and
nncomellLcreaturt altogether for wealth,
‘for it wincause contempt ; h ‘others, and
loathing in thee. Neither make choice
of a dwarf or a fool; for by one thou
shalt beeit a race of pigmies ; the other
rather plentiful than sparing, but not
costly ; for 1 never knew any man g>ow
poor by keeping an orderly table. Rut
some consume themselves through-se
cret vic&, and their hospitality bears
the blame. But banish swinish clruhk
ards out.of thy house, which is *vice
imparing neaitn, consuming much, atiu
makes no shew; I never he.rd praise
inscribed t«,the drunkard, but for.; the*,
■well bearing of his drink, which is. a

ftieu spefid not above three or four
of thy revenue; nor above a third* of
that in tbv house ; for the other two
will do no more than defray thy extraor
dinarys, which always surmount the or
dinary by much; otherwise thou shalt
live like a rich beggaf, In continued
want. And the needy man can never
live happy or contentedly , for Jvery
disaster makes him ready to mortgage
or sell. And that gentleman who sells
an acre of land sells an ounce of credit..
For gentility is nothing else but ancient
richness ; so that if the foundation shall
at any time sink, the building;* must
needs follow. , - *
2. Bring thy children up in learning
and obedience, yet without outward aus
terity Praise them openly, reprehend
them secreuy, give them good counte
nance and convenient maintenance ac
cording to thy ability, otherwise thy life
will agem their bondage, and what• nor
tion thou shalCleave hem at thv death.

persuaded, that fool sh cockering of some
parents, and the overstern carriage., ot
others, causeth more men and women
to take to ill courses, than their own
vicious inclination. b Marry* thy daugh-
in time, lea. t Marry them
selves. And suffer not .h'/ sons'to. pas .

than to have meat served in divefs
dishes. Neither by iffy consent shall
thou'train them up in wars, for lie that
sets up his rest to live by that profession
can hardly be an. honest in nor a. good
Christian—-Besides, it is a ciedce no
longer in request than use. For soldiers
in, peace are like chimneys in sutAmef,/
snot in the country without

provisions thou shall want, learn to buy

5 Beware of suretyship for thy, best

debts, seeketi* h»s own decay. Buts
thou caasi not otherwise, choose* rather
lend thou thy money upon good oorids,
altpo* borrow it; So shalt thott secure

tlier borrow money of a neighbor or a
friend, bffVof a stranger, where payn;d*
for it, thou shalt eclipse thy-credit, iosr
tny freedom, and yet pay as dear as to
another. But in borrowing money be
precious of thy word—for he that hath
care of keeping day sos payment is lord
of another man’s purse. j. A

life. **•; “
7. Be sure to keep iome divan thy
•friend, but trouble him not ifor trifles
Compliment him often, with ‘many*. ye s
small, gifts and with.lu le charge. & :l
thou hast cause to bestow any great gra
tuity, let it be something which may be
daily in sight. Otherwise, in this ambi
tious age, thou shalt’ remain like a hop
without a pole, live iff*obscurity, and be
made a foot-ball for every insulting
companion to spurn at.
8. Towards thy superiors be humble,
yet generous. \Vith thine equals fami
ly1 ’ yet respectful. Towards thy infe
riors shew much humanity, and some,
familiarity : as to bow the body, stretch
forth the hand, and to uncover the head ;
with such, like popular compliments.—
‘The first prepaieth thy way to advance-,
ment.—l he second makes thee known
for a man well bred. ThfjJtfiL-rrl gains a
good report—which once got is easily
kept. Tor right humanity takes su.cb
deep root in the minds of the multitude,
as they are more easily gained by unp'rb-
courtesies.than by churlish bene
fi's.—-Yet I advise thee not to affect or
neglect popularity too much. Seek not
t be Essex, shun to be Raleigh.
9-Trust not any man with thy life,
credit or estate- For/it is more folly f«ri\
la aiaVi to enthral himself to his friend;’
as thpug i occasion being offered, hg
should not dare to become his enemy
TO* ise not scurrilous in conversation

as they would rather lose their frion

but the froth of wit. > ,

Castle, situated on a projecting rockji
between deep vallies, on the river Clyde,
between i Glasgow and Greenock, a
spot extremely beautiful in its situation,
as it overlooks a delightful country, but
from which if is next to impossible that
