Prcfar.tnfi iuconfifient with Politer.gfs
J (he pracln.eof comui .ntu ii g
and |weaiing nas oiicn b cn proved
ro-be full ot imp;ety. I is an in*
lulc to checnajelty of G id, rhecon
fcqunnces of which will one day
make the guilty tremble.
, This pradtke has aif. b - m
prfirfcntrd ft: king at the vital in
tcrelljs (if focicty, bv dimirrffiing
rfce obftacles in the way to p-'jury.
I apprehend there is fametuing in
this far more ferious than empty
Jjptfculation. Why are oaths ufed
at‘indudfions into r, ffi -. T Gay are
‘they impolrd upon witnrffrs in the
adminiftration of juft.ee ? Is it not
to bind men to their duty by the
iuiemnity of an appeal to God, (hr
fearcher and the judge of ail hra s?
And has not the pradllce of com
mon cuTing and f\vtaring an inevi
table tendency to render the heart
lels in fible to the furce of fuch an
appeal ?
But I requeft the reader’s parti
cular attention to anot <er view, and
a view foldom taken of this prac
tice. It is contrary to pclittrcis—
diredtly and ftrongly contrary to
the principles and manners of a
gentleman, d’he cha ge may ap
pear ftiangr a? fijft figh ; but I un
d<rr ake t.i make it g iod.
I -ake it for gratted that every
juft account of the nature of polite
cels muft include the flandirg rule,
never ro give u nrirff-t y • fFe ce
to a :y individual of one’s company.
Now a company is rarely colh&fd
without inclu ing lomr ro whom
profane lapgi age is rF .five. It
is always p fifibir, ad a delicate
mind will always remember it to be
fuppofable, that there may be fuch
perfons in company, until tire con
trary ha* been afetruised. To the
pious man whole heart glows with
love and veneration towards G and,
it is inexpreftibiy (hacking to hear
the (acred name of his creator and
M i father fportrd with as an idle ex
pletive of difeourfr, and his curfrs
inv ked either .n the heat (ft paffi
en or the wantonnefs of levity.—
Such conduct cannot fa 1 tn g ; vc
pain to every human be it g who re
tains any ftiars or reverence for the
favete'gn of heaven and earth.—
Should the fwea<er aflf rt that uli
this is mere fanatirifm, which he is
not bound to refpett in hi* manner
of lpcaiu g; I anfwer, he may as
well pretend th3t h;s havi g ;he h *-
nor and happinefsot being an a hc
ift entitles him to fpit in the face of
every man who believes there s a
God. He mav fh w rhat he is to
tally indifferent ro our fo hug*, or
that he even finds gra ifi a I.n in
g'VL-g us pain. From either of
chefe fourc.es, he miy think it no
fmail amufement to wound us fe
vereiy by (pitting In our faces, or
by prota ftng the name of our G >d
Bu: in cue mean um<, what he-
of his character as a genUe
tnan ?
I :aid it down as the principle of
a gentleman, to avoid gw.ng an.v
cHTary offence. Arc cu- fing and
iwear ng in convtf(suon netrlf ‘/

tfo* olfiul sof and leafo ? Will if fup-
V'lv the (>f fi ienev eft h’ dhder
ftand-ng, or los knowledg* ? Is it
r qui.fi r to confirm he svord o* a
man of veracity ? Will ir make us
believe the deefara ion* ‘font whde
veracity is doubtful ? I ;s v, aftu g’
tmie to dwell upon this point. I
havr known many profa r 1 wearers
bur never heard the nect ffi v of rhe
pi aft see maintained. It ha? been
my misfortune ro hear a great deal
of this fort of la-'guagl?, in irs hare
fol variety cf forms; but I never
found an if liar re in which it fub
ftrved anv good purpofa wharever.
The pradice infl.dts torture upon
every fiber ear; and that without
the leaft extenuating pica of nectffi
ty or advantage.
Profane fwearers fometimes con
defeend to excufo themfelves by
laying, that (poke without
thought. I reply, a mAn of -rfi <• i
polite nr fo dfjfs think. He thinks
carefully and habitually too, that he
may avoid hurtLg the feelings of
his company. In point of (enfe,
he who foys that he fpoke without
tho’t, avows that he Fpoke as a f o).
And in point of politenefs, hr who
pleads that he did not confider wat
he was foyi n g, ackiowiedg s, by
the very plea, that he hais aefte* a
pirr in this ir.flance, d?rc6tlv ih# op
p >fi e to that of a gentfomari.
B-i iupp ;fe it to ot a fa (ft: after*
rained char none of the company
w>ll be off nded by profane lan
guag ; how dots it violate tht- rule
of poiitcnefs tn thele cirrumda'aCts ?
Well—let the fovearer rake th>s for
a cafe in his favor, and mike the
rnoft of it. He is n>t at prelent
ir fl ‘.ftmg pah) up )n hfo rompanioni,
for they are as impiouil/ callous to
this kind of pain as hirolHf. He
is only provoking with a high hand
the vengeance of God Almighty,
aid ftrengthening in himfelf and 0-
thers a habit, calculated tea outrage
the feeli gs of ferious people at
fume future hour.
I think mv proportion is demon
dated. And ho.v can this firnple
rtafoning be refuted ? Suppose no v
that on taking my feat, as a ftran
ger, in the ft ige coach, or at a pub
lic dining table, my ea r s are imme
diately and almoft incellkncly aifad
cd with profane oaths and curies
what dea (kaH I reafonably form
conccrnirg the man who makes
th* - fo unprovoked and violent ac
ta ks up my prate ? lie may

kets fiiied with money. He mar
be man af learning attl a man of
wit. He may bi toga ‘in effi c &
in thofo applaufo* which a vain

th r led, I am compelled to pro
nounce nim grofsly dr fi .lent in the
