That of Love (to give it the milder Name) so far as it is vitious, I take to be seated principally in the Fancy, and there you must apply your Cure; for I ascribe its vehe- mence not so much to the Con- stitution as to the pampering the Body, and mens letting loose their Eyes, Tongues and Imaginations upon amorous Incentives, and not keeping a sence and awe of Religion upon them. For if you live in an Age and Place where Shame and civil Penalties have no C (18) force, you must have recourse to ...Religions means, and the Grace of God for Restraint. Lust is more distinctly forbidden by our Christianity, than any other thing; therefore it ought more sacredly to be avoided. If you grow Troublesom to your self, in Gods name make use of that boiiourable Remedy he has provided; and in the intrim, if you can allay your Fancy, and keep your Incli- nations undetermined, I think a promiscuous Conversation is the safest ; for many that have lived in the Shade and Retire- ment, when they came abroad were ruined by doting on the first Thing they met with.
