Their Temperance and Sobriety. 
NOTHER agreeable and recom 
mending Property, js their well- 
known and exemplary Temperance. If per- 
fect ‘Temperance reigns, and is to be found 
in any Society upon Earth, it is in this, and 
among thefe Infects. 
Tho’ they live in the greateft Plenty of 
the moft delicious Food, it cannot tempt 
them to the leaft Intemperance, or Excefs. 
What they have fo painfully collected, and 
moft carefully treafured up, is fparingly and 
prudently ufed, and with the greateft Mode- 
ration and Frugality. 
They do not prodigally wafte their 
precious Subftance, in Riot, Revelling, 
Drunkennefs, and Tels like San (aalitiee: as 
the Fool in the Gofpel, faying, Soul take 
thine Eafe, Eat, drink, and be merry, Lan- 
guage more becoming a Brute than a Man. 
But tho’ they have at all Times free Ac- 
cefg to this Fulnefs, they never take more 
than a moderate Repaft. Eminent Self-De- 
nial! Never was one among them all feen 
difguifed or difordered thro’. their moft be- 
loved Liquid.
