REFLEXION.

’Tis Great Virtue and Happiness for a Man to set his Heart wholly upon

that Lot and Station which Providence has Assigned him, and to Content

himself with what he has, without Wand’ring after Imaginary Satisfactions

in what he has not. Fancy and Curiosity have no Bounds. Their _Motto_ may

be [_SOMEWHAT ELSE_.] And how should it be otherwise with People that are

never Pleas’d with the Present? They want they know not what, and they

look for’t they know not where. We have had so many Occasions already to

handle this Moral, that it would be Time lost to say any more upon’t in

this Place.
