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 ?

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 ?

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 w'ur a (He coa : , and have b?s poc kets fiiied with money.
