 your corrupted Hearts and boundles Deires, take up again, ince it is in your Power, your ancient and primitive Innocence; retire to the Woods, there to loe the Sight and Remembrance of the Crimes committed by your Cotemporaries; nor be afraid of debaing your Species, by renouncing its Improvements in order to renounce its Vices. As to Men like me, whoe Paions have irretrievably detroyed their original Simplicity, who can no longer live upon Gras and Acorns, or without Laws and Magitrates; all thoe who were honoured in the Peron of their firt Parent with upernatural Leons; thoe, who dicover, in the Intention to give immediately to Human Actions a Morality which otherwie they mut have been o long in acquiring, the Reaon of a Precept indifferent in itelf, and utterly inexplicable in every other Sytem; thoe, in a word, who are convinced that the Divine Voice has called all Men to the Perfection and Happines of the celetial Intelligences; all uch will endeavour, by the Practice of thoe Virtues to which they oblige themelves in learning to ditinguih them, to deerve the eternal Reward promied to their Obedience.
