What it is incumbent on me to do at this feafon, and which I negledt becaufe of its difficulties, will become every year and every day more difficult. Notwithstanding the health and ftrength I enjoy in the ipring of life, YOUTH. A 9 life, may I no! lofe my powers, and die in the flower of my days ? And what doom may I expedt in the future life, if I have foolifhly wafted the prime of life in the flavery of irregular paflions and of viee ? I will watch continually over myfelf, over all the fecre...t motions of my heart ; I will not fufFer myfelf to be feduced by the vain promifes of vice, by the charms of an apparent liberty, or a treacherous joy. Wifdom raifes her voice to tell me that the intoxication of fenfe endures but for an inftant ; that the en- chanted cup of luxury fhall not be always fweet to my tafte ; that the pleafure I find in drinking it fhall foon vanilh, as a fleeting dream from which we are fearfully awakened ; that the liberty with which I am flattered by vice is nothing but the vileft flavery, and that all its joys are poifoned at their fource.
