A DISCOURSE CONCERNING Old-Age:
Intending a Discourse concerning Old-Age, I shall use that Method, which I conceive will be most comprehensive, and most commodious for my purpose; which is, 1. By making some Description thereof. 2. By showing the true Causes of it, and the best Preservatives against it. 3. The Sins or Vices which are most usual in it. 4. The Graces and Virtues that are most proper for it. 5. The Inconveniences and Miseries which attend it. 6. The Privileges and Comforts peculiar to it. And Lastly, the Work and Business that is most needful in it.
