What a folly is it for men to take such indefatigable puns to make sure an earthly inheritance, to run from Lawyer to Lawyer to attend early in the morning, and late at night, to give see upon fee, to spend half a patrimony or an estate to secure the rest, and as if heaven and the beatifical vision were the only trivial, worthless thing, a mere accident that might adesse or abbess sine subjecti interitu, be present or absent without the least prejudice (at all) to a mans happiness, I say, to take up that upon trust, and to leave this ever with the Lord, upon a peradventure? Oh unspeakable folly and madness!
