DUTY to the Merit and Memory of my Departed MASTER, is now in its Operation. The Fifth Commandment well considered will demand such a Duty. When Quirin•• made a Marble Monument for his Master, there was this Effect of it, Invisunt Locum Studiosi Juvenes frequenter, ut hoc Exemplo Edoc•i, quantum Discipu•i […] praeceptoribus suis debeant, perpetuo meminisse velint. Scholars that saw it, Learnt from the Sight what Acknowledgements were due from Scholars to their Masters. I wish my little feeble Essay for Mine, may in any measure animate the Gratitude of any Scholars to their Well-deserving Tutors.
