Mom st??j? there, they add their infaini>
exhortations and invitations; and if
ey fall, they lntvc recourse to ridicule,

ithstand than either of the former. They

rm no connexion, nor what they impruMitly
eall friendships, with these people,
hieh are, in truth, only combinations and
uspiracies against good morals and good
lantiers. There is commonly in young
eople a facility that makes them unwillig
to refuse anything that is asked of
icm, that makes them ashamed to refuse,
nd at the same time an ambition of
leasing and shindig in the company they
eep; those several causes produce tlio
est effects in good company, but the
rv worst in bad. If people had novices
