•I did ufe them, I fatisfied my luft, and com- mitted a whole feries of fins, which I might have efcaped, if I had avoided the firft fin, the taking delight in the wicked defire, and ftudioufly enter- taining it. I then endeavoured to apologize for my crimes. I cannot help it, faid I, that my natural difpofition and temper is fo much for yoluptuoufnefs -, it therefore cannot be imputed to me as a trime if I live according to this my difpofition. I was confirmed in this by that over- ( 92 ) over...bearing feverity of thofe who taught me mo-, rals in my youth. They never told me that Chrift did not forbid innocent things, and that his morals did not deny us harmlefs joys. Every thing I had an inclination for, was told me to be fin, without diftindion. To wear ruffles, to powder the hair, was declared to be as equally impious as other extravagancies which were openly finful. I now concluded, that fince it was impoffible that the firfl: mentioned things could be fins, and I found they could not be well avoided in the world, it perhaps might be the fame cafe with the others j they might alfo be innocent things, and not to be avoided.
