We should confider the Importance of them, to excite our Industry and Diligence in attaining them, we should weigh the Excellency of them, that they may engage our Affections; we fhould reflect how neceffary they are to our Happiness, which will difcover our own Folly in having neglected them hitherto, and make us truly wife for the Time to come.
