Word of Advice

TO

THE MARRIED.

-000000000000-

PHILOSOPHERS observe that it is vain for a man to repine at that which he cannot help; and sure l am, there is no greater tolly in the world, than for a man, after he has got married, to find fault with his wife that the has no children; for that is a thing, whatever the cause may be, which neither party can help.

Therefore, my best advice to all such persons is, that they should rest themselves contented with whatever their lot may be in that respect, and endeavour to live in peace and love with the partner of their choice, and in the use of the appointed mean.
