Their Chaftity. 
‘'T HE next endearing Excellency where- 
in they-are Examples to all, is theif 
ftri& and inviolable Chaftity. As they fpend 
not their Riches in Riot and Drunkeénnefs, 
fo neither in Luft and Wantonnefs, or car- 
nal Concupifcence. As to the Manner of 
propagating their Species, whatever pafles 
among thenr of that Nature, it is entirely — 
hid from: the Eyes of all Men; and the 
moft ftriét, diligent, and curious Obfervers 
and Inquifitors, have not been able to difs 
cover it. It is a Secret, and will remain a 
‘ Myftery. Dr. Butler fays they do not co- 
pulate as other living Creatures do.*¥ 
Come hither all you Drunkards and De- 
bauchees, and from thefe learn to be chafte 
and fober. No more difhonour your Bodies ; 
no longer degrade’ thofe noble Natures God 
has' given you. Meaner Souls than yours 
would férve well énough for thofe’ bafe Of- 
ficés’ you commonly émploy them in; to 
eat, drink, and play. Are’ you capable’ of 
converfing with Angels, and the God’ of 
Angels; and of énjoying him, place your 
Souls no more with Dogs of the Flock?
