of the body invented to conceal the defedls of the mind.” 
One thing, which thofe who lived any time with Mr. 
Locke could not help obferving in him, was, that he ufed 
his reafon in every thing he did ; and that nothing that 
was ufeful Teemed unworthy of his attention and care. 
In his friendfhips Mr. Locke was warm and fteady; 
and, therefore, felt a ftrong indignation againft any dif- 
covery of treachery or infmcerity in thofe in whom he 
confided. It is faid, that a particular perfon, with whom 
he had contrasted an intimate friendfhip in the earlier part 
of his life, was difcovered by him to have aSted with great 
bafenefs and perfidy. He had not only taken every me¬ 
thod privately of doing Mr. Locke what injury he could 
in the opinion of thofe with whom he was connected, but 
had alfo gone off with a large fum of money which was 
his property, and at a time too when he knew that fueh a 
hep mult involve him in confiderable difficulties. Many 
years after all intercourfe had, by fuch treachery, been 
broken off between them, and when Mr. Locke was one 
of the lords of trade and plantations, information was 
brought to him one morning, while he was at breakfaft, 
that a perfon fhabbily dreffed requeued the honour of 
fpeaking to him. Mr. Locke, with the politenefs and hu¬ 
manity which were natural to him, immediately ordered 
him to be admitted ; and beheld, to his great aftonifh- 
rnent, his falfe friend, reduced by a life of cunning and 
extravagance to poverty and diftrefs, and come to foli- 
cit his forgivenefs, and to implore his affiftance. Mr. 
Locke looked at him for fome time very ffeadfaftly, with¬ 
out fpeaking one word. At length, taking out a fifty- 
pound note, he prefented it to him with the following re¬ 
markable declaration : “ Though I fincerely forgive your 
behaviour to me, yet I muft never put it in your power 
to injure me a fecond time. Take this trifle, which I 
give, not as a mark of my former friendfhip, but as a re¬ 
lief to your prefent wants, and confign to the fervice of 
your neceffities, without recollecting how little you de- 
ferve it. No reply ! It is impoflible to regain my good 
opinion ; for know, friendfhip once injured is for ever 
loft.” 
Mr. Locke was naturally very aftive, and employed 
himfelf as much as his health would permit. His bad 
health occafioned difturbance to no one but himfelf; 
and perfons might be with him without any other con¬ 
cern than that created by feeing him fufter. He did not 
differ from others in the article of diet; but his ordinary 
drink was only water; and this he thought was the caufe 
of his having his life prolonged to fuch an age, r.otwith- 
ftanding the weaknefs of his conftitution. To the fame 
caufe, alfo, he thought that the prefervation of his eye- 
fight was in a great meafure to be attributed ; for he could 
read by candle-light all forts of books to the lalt, if they 
were not of a very fmall print; and he had never made ufe 
of fpeftacles. 
Among the honours paid to the memory of this great 
man, that of queen Caroline, confort of king George II. 
ought not to be overlooked; for that princefs, having 
eredled a pavilion in Richmond-park in honour of phi - 
lofophy, placed in it our author’s buff, with thofe of Ba¬ 
con, Newton, and Clarke, as the four prime Englifh phi- 
lofophers. Mr. Locke left feveral manufcripts behind 
him, from which his executors, fir Peter King, and An¬ 
thony Collins, eiq. publifhed, in 1705, his Paraphrafe and 
Notes upon St. Paul's Epiltle to the Galatians, in 4to. 
which were foon followed by thofe upon the Corinthians, 
Romans, and Ephefians, with an efi'ay prefixed, For the 
Underftanding of St. Paul's Epiltles, by confulting St. 
Paul himfelf. In 1706, Pofthumous Works of Mr. Locke 
were publifhed in 8vo. comprifing a treatife On the Con¬ 
duct of the Underftanding, fupplementary to the author’s 
Efi'ay ; An Examination of Malebranche s Opinion of fee¬ 
ing all things in God, See. In 1708, fome familiar Let¬ 
ters between Mr. Locke and feveral of his Friends were 
alfo publifhed in 8vo. and, in 1720, M. des Maizeaux’s
