Marry for Love, an Heroick Action, which makes a mighty noise in the World, partly because of its rarity, and partly in regard of its extravagancy.

If none were to Marry, but Men of strict Vertue and Honour, I doubt the World would be but thinly peopled.

The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God's Eyes.

Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good; and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom.

Women are from their very infancy debarred those Advantages with the want of which they are afterwards reproached.

That which has not a real excellency and value in it self, entertains no longer than the giddy Humour which recommended it to us holds.
