OBSTACLES Prejuges Divines
paragraph
Accordingly, never shall you find one who exhibits
any by surplous sign and visible of his knowing what it is to
be possessed with the passion for the public good;
thatbrought sun in the moral world, by which all the other virtues are but as stars
A Berkeley appears but once in a Century; If when
he does appear, it is only to prove that if a man
comes into it with those generous dispositions, it the profession is possible that by his contrivance in it they may be

strikes against this or that Punctilio, against
this or that prejudice, which the rules to which he has surrendered himself have taught men to conceive concerning the decorum of his
function. A thousand hands fasten at once

Banners?

and believing steadily out of ten thousand for his
own.
secondly active that all may be harsh, & that the Peace of Church & state by stifling projects of improvement without noise
active, to nurse a backward family under the short sunshine of a Court. Add to the Desposition: hearsay, discretion, temperance, sobriety, chastity, temperance, & all the arsenal of selfish virtues: virtues which not by accident, but for a certainty, are their own reward;
