That Which Has Not A Real Excellency And Value In It Self, Entertains No Longer Than The Giddy Humour Which Recommended It To Us Holds.

We Ought As Much As We Can To Endeavour The Perfecting Of Our Beings, And That We Be As Happy As Possibly We May.

Hitherto I Have Courted Truth With A Kind Of Romantick Passion, In Spite Of All Difficulties And Discouragements: For Knowledge Is Thought So Unnecessary An Accomplishment For A Woman, That Few Will Give Themselves The Trouble To Assist Us In The Attainment Of It.
