VINDICATION OF THE
Moſt proſpects in life are marred by the ſhuffling worldly wiſdom of men, who, forgetting that they cannot ſerve God and mammon, endeavour to blend contradictory things.—If you wiſh to make your ſon rich, purſue one courſe—if you are only anxious to make him virtuous, you muſt take another; but do not imagine that you can bound from one road to the other without loſing your way[1].
