must study Children, that will teach them well, and Reason must rule him that would rule wisely; he must not take ad∣vantage of an ignorant Father, nor give too much ear to an indulgent Grandmother: The common Good must outweigh his private Gains, and his Cre∣dit must out-bid Gratuities: He must be diligent and sober, not too familiar, nor too reserv'd, neither amorous, nor phanta∣stick; just, without fierceness; merciful, without fondness: If such an one thou meet with, thou hast found a Treasure, which if thou know'st how to value, is invaluable.
