^11 honeft and induftrious men may enjoy an 

 equal Ihare with the great and noble; for I am 

 perfuaded that the man who afTifts in raifing 

 the fruits of the earth is more independent 

 than he that confumcs them : and if grandeur 

 has its pleafures, it is frequently imbittered by 

 numerous anxieties and difappointments. — As 

 to the fubordination of one fort of people to 

 another, it is for the reciprocal good of the 

 whole community. 



Every man fees how neceflary it is to go- 

 vern his own family : and as neceflary is it 

 that he himfelf be governed ; as without good 

 order no one can peaceably enjoy the fruits of 

 his induftry, and a proper fhare of the fruits 

 pf the earth, nor derive an equal benefit frgm 

 |:he i^TTprovemeot of it.
