One may be very Uneasie with a Plentiful Fortune, and as Happy in a Mean
Condition; for ’tis the Mind that makes us either the one or the other. A
Luxurious Court is the Nursery of Diseases; it Breeds ’em, it Encourages,
Nourishes and Entertains them. A Plain, an Honest, and a Temperate
Industry, contents it self with a little; and who would not rather Sleep
Quietly upon a _Hammock_, without either Cares in his Head, or Crudities
in his Stomach, then lye Carking upon a Bed of State, with the Qualms and
Twinges that accompany Surfeits and Excess?
