They wou'd not serve tokeep up our Souls from sinking under the pleasures of sense, but sounawares betray us into them, by loosning the strength we have toresist, and improving the Charm, that tho' we supposed the wholeConcern of the _Stage_ to set out all Virtuous at first, we cou'd notexpect its continuing long in that primitive State, before it run intosome foolish Excess. For if Mens coming often and many together, onbusiness, or kind and friendly Occasions, is apt to lay a snare intheir Wa...y; Nay if _Societies_ form'd for the very promotion of Virtue;and ti'd to all the Discipline of it, are yet hardly kept from growingirregular: What can we hope from such places of Concourse, whereImagination expects to be rais'd, and the End is Delight?
But I doubt we never began so fairly as this, because our present_Corruption_ is greater, than can well be conceiv'd to have sprungfrom a _Root_ that had at first no _Bitterness_ in it.
