Because Impudence Is A Vice, It Does

The Multitude Will Hardly Believe The Excessive Force Of Education, And In The Difference Of Modesty Between Men And Women, Ascribe That To Nature, Which Is Altogether Owing To Early Instruction: Miss Is Scarce Three Years Old, But She's Spoke To Every Day To Hide Her Leg, And Rebuked In Good Earnest If She Shows It; Whilst Little Master At The Same Age Is Bid To Take Up His Coats, And Piss Like A Man.

Because Impudence Is A Vice, It Does Not Follow That Modesty Is A Virtue; It Is Built Upon Shame, A Passion In Our Nature, And May Be Either Good Or Bad According To The Actions Performed From That Motive.

There Is No Intrinsic Worth In Money But What Is Alterable With The Times, And Whether A Guinea Goes For Twenty Pounds Or For A Shilling, It Is The Labor Of The Poor And Not The High And Low Value That Is Set On Gold Or Silver, Which All The Comforts Of Life Must Arise From.

Ashamed Of The Many Frailties They Feel Within, All Men Endeavor To Hide Themselves, Their Ugly Nakedness, From Each Other, And Wrapping Up The True Motives Of Their Hearts In The Specious Cloak Of Sociableness, And Their Concern For The Public Good, They Are In Hopes Of Concealing Their Filthy Appetites And The Deformity Of Their Desires.

It Is Visible Then That It Was Not Any Heathen Religion Or Other Idolatrous Superstition, That First Put Man Upon Crossing His Appetites And Subduing His Dearest Inclinations, But The Skilful Management Of Wary Politicians; And The Nearer We Search Into Human Nature, The More We Shall Be Convinced, That The Moral Virtues Are The Political Offspring Which Flattery Begot Upon Pride.
