(24) born not for yourſelf alone, but for your family, your neighbourhood, your country, and the world; and on every occaſion which calls for the exerciſe of humane and generous feelings ſay, "I am a man, and nothing intereſting to human nature is indifferent to me."

Another article of advice ftill remains to be added, which, though the laſt, is by no means the leaſt important. It is this: Raiſe the edifice of your virtue and happineſs upon the fire foundation of religion. Think it not ſufficient that, in conſequence of early education and ſubſequent enquiry, you admit the doctrines of the exiſtence, providence, and moral government of Almighty God as articles of belief; but by frequently recollecting them as truths in which every rational being is deeply intereſted, deduce from them practical principles, to guide you in the conduct of life. Conſider every rule of ſobriety and ſelf-government which prudence preſcribes, and every act of juſtice or charity which benevolence dictates, as enjoined by the authority of the Great Being, who has eſtabliſhed that conſtitution of nature, in which virtue and happineſs are inſeparably united, and who has engraved the law of virtue on every human heart.
