fifth and last letter of the late dr. wii hgbsfook OX tdccation. [Concluded.) I only further observe, that I know do circumstance fioni which your opinion of the necessity of religion will appear with the greater clearness or carry it in greater fore?, than your benaviour toward? and treatment of your children in timo of dangerous sickness. Certainly there is no time in their whole lives when the necessity appears more urgent or tlie opportunity more favourable, for impressing their minds I with a sense of the things that belong to , th?*ir peace- What shall we say then of those parents, who, through fear of alarm* ing their minds, and augmenting their dis order, will not suffer any mention to be mude to them of the approach of death, or f the importance of eternity ? I will relate ( 10 you an example of this. A young gen* i tleman of estate in my parish, was taken til of s dangerous fever in a friend's house at ' a distance. I went to see him in his illness, j and hts mother, a widow lady, intrealed | me not to say any thing alarming to him, and not to pray with him, but to go to prayer in ano her room, wherein she wisely observed, it w ulJ have the same effect. ( The young man himself soon found that I ! J"' ?* *' "* l>?*d and lint UIU Hill awi as IIU iruu o?pvviv?.| ?V w < so impatient that it became necessary to ] give him the true reuson. On this ho insisted, in the most positive manner, thataH restrictions should be taken off, which was ( done. What was the consequence? fie , was exceedingly pleased and composed ; i and if this circumstance did not has:en, it I neither hinJored nor retarded his recovery. | Be pleased to remark, that the young < gentleman hero spoken of neither was at that *ime, nor ieyot, so far as I am able to j judge, truly religious; and therefore I have | formed a fixed opinion, that in this, as in | many other instances, the wisdom of man j dt&appoints itself. Pious advice and con- < eolation, if but tolerably administered in j sickness, are not only useful to the soul, i but serve particularly to calm an agitated i mind, to bring the animal spirits to an easy \ flow, nod the ? hole frame into such a state < as will best favoui the operation of medi- \ cine, or the efforts of the constitution, to i throw off or conquer :he disease. I Suffer me to wander a little from my j subject, by observing to you, that as I do , not think the great are to be mucli envied | lor any tiling, ao they are truly and heartily | to be pitied for the deception that is usually , "put upon them by flattery end false tend- j erness. Many of them are brought up | with so much delicacy, that they are never , suffered to see any miserable or afflicting , object, nor, so far as can be hindered, to ( hear any affecting story of distress. If they , theinseives are sick, how manv absurd and , palpable I eg ore told them by their friends ? ? o?J as for physicians, I may safely say, ( few of them are much conscience bound in , this matter. Now, let the success of these f measures be what it will, the only fruit to ( he reaped from them is to make a poor dy- , ing sinner mistake his or her condition, and ( vainly dream of earthly happiness, white , hastening to the pit of perdition. But, as 1 j said bflore, men are often taken in their , own craftiness. It oftentimes happens that . such persons, by an ignorant servant or t officious neighbour, or some unlucky acci. [ dent, make a sudden discovery of their , true si uation, and the shock frequently j proves fatal.?Oh ! how much more desirable is it?how much more like the reason , of men, as well as the faith of christians? ( to consider and prepare (or what must ine- j vitabjy come to pa>8 ? I cannot easily con- , ceiveany thing more truly noble, than for a \ person in health and vigour, in honour and j opulence, by voluntary refli-ction to sympa. , thize with others m distress : and by a well , founded confidence in divine mercy, to ob? | fai nhe victory over the fear of death. 2. You ought to live so as to moke reiig- | ion appear respectable. Religion is a ven- ( erable thing in i:self, and it spreads an air t ?I digni'y over a person*s whole deportment. , * 4 ? - ? - ?? ?? A?? !VIA1*olt7 J 1 nave 3' en a COlfiiuuu iraurauiuu, hiviv.j i because he waa a man of true piety and t undeniable worth, treated by his children, { apprentices oud servants, with a much { greater degree of deference and submission, j than is commonly given to men of superior , station, without that character. Many of , the same meannesses are avoided, by a gen. , tieman from a principle of honour, and by ( a good man from a principle of conscience. The first keeps out of the company of com- , mor. people/because they are below him? the last is cautious of mixing with them, be- , cause of that levity and profanity that is to be exp- cted from them. If, then, religion is really venerable when sincere, a respectable conduct ought to be maintained, as a proof of your own integrity, as well as to recommend it to your children. To this add, if you please, that asre\eience is the peculiar duty of children to their parents, any thing that lends to lessen it is more deeply felt by them than by others who observe if. When I have seen a parent, in the pre. sence of his child meanly wrangling with his servant, telling extravagant stories, or otherwise exposing his vanity, credulity or folly ; I have felt just the same proportion of sympathy and tenderness for the one, that I did of contempt or indignation at the other. What has been said, win, in part, explain the errors which a parent ought to shun, and what circumstances he ought to attend to, that religion may appear respectable. All meannesses, whether of sentiment, conver* sation, dress, manners, or employment, are carefully to be avoided. You will apply this properly to yourself. I may, however, just mention, that there is a considerable dif> ferance in ail these particulars, according to men's different stations. The same actions are mean in one station, that are not so in another. The thing itself, however, still, remains; ns there is an order and cleanliness at the table of tradesmen, that is different from the elegance of a gentleman's. or the sumptuonsness of a prince's or nobleman's. But to make the matter still plaioer by particular examples. I look upon talkativeness and vanity to be among the greatest enemies to dignity. It la needless to say how much vanity ?s contrary to true religion ; and as to the other, which may seern rather an infirmity than a sin, wo are expressly cautioned against it, and com. manded to be swift to hear, and slow to speak. Sudden anger, too, and loud clam, ourous scolding, are at once contrary to pie. ty and dignity. Parents should, therefore acquire as much as possible, a composure of spirit, and meekness of language ; nor are there many circumstances that will more recommend religion to children, when tney see that this self-command is the effect of principle, and a sense of duty. There is a weakness I have observed in many parents, to show a partial fondness for some of their children, to the neglect, and in many cases approaching to a jealou. iy or hatred of others. Sometimes we see i mother discover an excessive part?alit> to i handsome daughter, in comparison of those that are more homely in their figure. Th's is a barbarity, which would be truly ncredible, did not experience prove that k really exists. One would think they should mther be excited by natural affection, to ?ive all possible encouragement to those who labour under a disadvantage, and be. jtow every attainable accomplishment to balance the defects of outward form. At nkontimno u?t* spfiji r\Mi?tin1itv which cannot UllfWi UNIW ~ * * * / " be accounted far at aHf where the most ugly, peevish, froward child of the whole fail ?ly, is the favourite of both parents. Reason aught tu counteract these errors ; but piety aught to extirpate them eirirely. I do not jiuy to mention the bad effects that flow "rom thetn, my purpose being only to show he excellence of that character which is exmipted from them. The real dignity of religion will also ap>enr in the conduct of u good man towards us servants. It will point out the true and >roper distinction between condescension md meanness. Humility is the very spirit >f the gospel. Therefore, hear your servid:s with patience* examine their conduct with candour, treat them with all Ihe huma. ?ty and gentleness that is consistent with jnremitted authority : when they are sick, dsit them in person, provide remedies for hem, sympathize with them, and show hem that you do so ; take care of their in. crests ; assist thera with your counsel and nflucoce to obtain what is their right. But, >n the other hand, never moke yourself heir proper companion : do not seem to oste their society ; do not hear their jokes, >r ask their news, or tell them yours. Be. ieve me, this will never make you either iclovod or esteemed by your servants themtelves ; and it will greatly derogate from the Jigoity of true religion in the eyes of your children. Suffer me also to cautioo you igainst that most unjust an I illiberal pracice, of exercising your wit in humorous itrokes upon your servants, before company. >r while they wait at table. I do not know my thing so evidently mean, that is at the tame time so common. It is I think, just mch a cowardly thing as to beat a man vho is bound ; because the servant, Irowev. ?r happy a repartee might occur to him, is tot a- liberty to answer, but at the risk of taving his bones broken. In this, as in nnny other particular reasons, refinement, ind liberal manners, teach exactly the same hing with religion, and I am happy in being ible to add, that religion is generally the nost powerful, as well as the most uniform principle of decent conduct. I shall have done with this particular, vhen 1 have observed, that those who are ingaged in public, or what I may call poliicul life, have an excellent opportuniiy of nuking religion appear truly respectable. iVhat I mean is, by showing themselves irm and incorruptible in supporting those iieasures that appear best calculated for promoting the interest of religion, and the food of mankind. In all these cases, I ad. rjire that man who has principles, whose >rinciples are known, and whom everybody lespuirs of being able to seduce, or bring >ver to the opposite interest. I do not com. nend furious and intemperate zeal. Stead, ncss is a much better, and quite a different hing. I would contend with any man who should speak most calmly, but I would also ton tend with him who should act most irmly. As for your placebos, your pfuient courtly, compliant gentlemen, whose role in assembly will tell you where they lined the dRy before, I hold them very :heap indeed, as you very well know. I ' * * ">t/> tkic nPimmont. hill i uo uui finer lurinct iuw n??o . conclude at tnis lime, by observing, that public meaauieS are always embraced uuier pretence of principle ; and therefore an uniform uncorrupted public character is one of the best evidences of real principle, The free thinking gentry tell us upon ibis subject, that "every man has his price." It lies out of my way to Qttempt refuting them at present, but it is to be hoped there are many whose price is far above their reach, if some of my near relations, who took so much pains to attach me to the interest of evangelical truth, had been govarned by court influence in their political couduct, it had not been in my p^wer tc have esteemed their characters, or perhapa to have adhered to their instructions. Bui 06 things now stand, I have done both from the beginning, and I hope God will enable n e by his grace, to continue to do so tc the end of life.
