WHILE thou so hotly disclaimest the Devil, be not guilty of DiaboIism. FalI not into one name with that uncIean Spirit, nor act his nature whom thou so much abhorrest; that is to Accuse, Calumniate, Backbite, Whisper, Detract, or sinistrously interpret others. Degenerous depravities, and narrow minded vices ! not only beIow St. Paul's noble Christian but Aristotle's true Gentleman. Trust not with some that the; Epistle of St. James is Apocrypkal, and so read with less fear that Stabbing Truth, that in company with this vice thy Religion is in vain. Moses broke the TabIes without breaking of the Law; but where Charity is broke, the Law it seIf is shattered, which cannot be whoIe without Love, whick is the fulfilling of it. Look humbly upon thy Virtues, & though thou art Rich in some, yet think thy self Poor and Naked without that Crowning Grace, whick thinketh no evil, whick envieth not, which beareth, hopeth, believeth, endureth all things. With these sure Graces, while busy Tongues are crying out for a drop of cold Water, mutes may be in happiness, & sing the Trisagionin Heaven. See Aristotie's Ethicks, chapter of Magnanimity.

Holy, Holy, Holy.
