Strain not Conscience to enrich Posterity: be true to the trusts committed to you by the Dead, or by the Living, remembering, that though they be dead and cannot avenge the wrong, yet the Lord lives, and will surely do it in a severer manner than they could, should they appear in the most terrible and frightful forms to you. Beside, your own Consciences will haunt you worse than a Ghost. Be just and true therefore in all your Promises and trusts, for God is the Avenger.
