My mother was a good mistress to her servants, taking care of them in their sicknesses, not sparing any cost she was able to bestow for their recovery.

And though I might have learnt more wit and advanced my understanding by living in a Court, yet being dull, fearful and bashful, I neither heeded what was said or practised, but just what belonged to my loyal duty and my own honest reputation.

One may be my very good friend, and yet not of my opinion.

Nature, being a wise and provident lady, governs her parts very wisely, methodically, and orderly: Also, she is very industrious and hates to be idle, which makes her employ her time as a good housewife doth.

For Pleasure, Delight, Peace and Felicity live in method and temperance.

For disorder obstructs: besides, it doth disgust life, distract the appetities, and yield no true relish to the senses.

Prosperity is like perfume, it often makes the head ache.
