Birth: 1659 Death: July 19, 1700
For he that but conceives a crime in thought, Contracts the danger of an actual fault..
What studies please, what most delight, And fill men's thoughts, they dream them o'er at night..
They that do much themselves deny, Receive more blessings from the sky..
He that commits a sin shall find the pressing guilt lie heavy on his mind..
To admire nothing, (as most are wont to do;) Is the only method that I know, To make men happy, and to keep them so..
