[Page] 42 you are so charitable to all, that you often believe your enemies are friends, and commonly treat your friends like enemies. Men, women, children, servants, and every other creature have a share of your conversation; so that none can accuse you of pride or hautiness. Even strangers whom you never saw before, you are soon acquainted with, and, to say all the truth, your character is, probably, as soon known to them. But oh! who in his senses, can help envying your happy condition? You often fall into a sound sleep, at noon day, in the roads or fields, while others can scarce enjoy the blessings of sleep on their beds. Immediately you rise, take your bottle, and enjoy the same round of pleasure; and though you have some intervals of poverty and sorrow, yet I am persuaded they will not stop your drinking; and I can tell you for your comfort, that if you continue in this course, you will soon arrive to that period, which will put an end to all such calamities. Sam Satire.

[Page] 51 preserve what they already possess. They will also seek for more, but will venture but little of what they are in possession of, for fear of losing; therefore their profits must necessarily be small. And as they aim at nothing but what will, in all probability, succeed, the can seldom be in the way of increasing their wealth; therefore they must save what they have, by parsimonious, half starved, and cruel ways of living. A miser is also penurious, hard, and ungenerous in his dealings with others; and seeks indirectly to gain the best side of his bargain. But when his designs and intentions are once discovered, his enemies will lay stratagems to deceive him, and get him into their snare. They will never favor his designs; but will take every method to reverse his expectations, and disappoint him in his projects. And if ever they get the advantage of him, they will insult and torment

[Page] 50 and increase his wealth, if it can be done without detections. A physician who considers money as the only thing, will be apt to neglect the poor, and be more attentive to the fee than the patient: to practice quackery, and adulterate his medicine. Avarice makes the mechanic slight his work; to be more attentive to what will sell, than what is useful; and, in general, it makes all men, as well as all classes of men, seek their own interest only, at the expense of all other considerations. If it is a maxim when is generally true, that “Avarice is poor by her own fault.” For tho prudence and frugality commonly produce the greater part of our wealth; yet when they change into parsimony, we must not expect such great successes as \sometimes/ attend more rash or ambitious enterprises. Men who look upon money as the only happiness, will always be too solicitous to

[Page] 49 and even necessaries of life. He who indulges this passion is always miserable, beyond a possibility of relief. The prodigal and gamster have something to plead, by way of excuse, for indulging their inordinate passions; but the miser gratifies his at the expense of every convenience and necessary of life. A man who seeks nothing but his own interest is unfit for any public office. An avaricious statesman will be tempted to sell the liberties of his country for money, and sacrifice his conscience to favor his own part or class of men. A clergyman will inculcate generosity, charity, liberty, and benevolence in vain, if he, at the same time, practices covetousness, extortion, and nigardlyness. His example, being contrary to the doctrine he professes to maintain, will destroy the efficacy of his preaching, and deprive him of all respect from his people. An avaricious merchant will take advantage of the ignorant, and practise numberless devices, to impose on his customers,

[recto] {..} Though what I have said be generally true, yet I do not thing but that the rich are more often more injurious to liberty than the poor. Luxury and dissipation in a rule are, in my opinion, much worse than poverty and well—meaning ignorance. By encouraging fashions, and incurring expenses to support them in idleness and effeminacy, they exhaust their wealth and become servile and dependent upon the state. And in pursuits after affluence, and the indulgence of every appetite, they relax in their pursuits after freedom and independence, and become burdensome to the community. Effeminacy and licentiousness, by example, will be introduced among the people; and a general depravity and wretchedness will spread through all classes, and destroy their natural and inherent love of liberty and independence. This, however, does not deny but that an independent fortune is, in itself, an excellent privilege, and would, if properly

[Page] 69 they descended out of sight in a moment. Terrified at this dreadful scene I was conveyed to the other side of the hill, where I had a full view of what the place afforded. This scene was quite opposite from the other. Instead of an abyss at the foot of the hill, there was a paradise which cannot be described, for it excels description. All that can be said of it is that everything conspired to render it perfectly happy; and that everything on earth is nothing in comparison to it. This side of the hill was longer than the other; and, in general, was almost perfectly smooth and even. And though the way at first appeared very difficult; yet those who had advanced any distance found it quite otherwise. Indeed, I believe it was infinitely more pleasant and delightful than that on the side of vice. For it was free from a very tormenting insect which were found in surprising numbers in every part of the side of vice, and kept
