Diverting
The occupations history of a savace are when
provision has been made for the short catalogue
of things necessay for his subsistence, are soon is soon delineated
reckoned up described run over . Vengeance [of any affront he
may have taken remains unappeased] if any
quarrel he may have found there remains unsettled
drunkenness if the means of intoxication are to be at
had hand, sleep or loitering if both these resoures fail
him, which at least is seldom the case the first [at least does seldom] [such
are his occupations]. Each of these propensities is
another favourable to be growth birth or action of the others.
P Punishment finds an easy entrance into it easy to enter into later keeper
entire possession of his vacant mind. Idleness
invites to drunkenness: drunkenness sharpens exasperates the
appetite for revenge resentments produced by
past quarrels, & gives birth to new.
The pleasures of the amorous appetite, not
being set off complicated enriched by those ideal sentimental refinements which
embellish and diversify it so much among polished
nations, goes but a little way towards filling up the
vacuity.
