And what must be the Issue of such an Oeconomy, if the whole fantastick Crew be introduc'd, and the Door refus'd to none? What else is it but this Management which leads to the most dissolute and profligate of Characters? What is it, on the contrary, that raises us to any degree of Worth or Steddiness, but a direct contrary Practice and Conduct? Can there be Strength of Mind; can there be Command over one's self; if the Ideas of Pleasure, the Suggestions of Fancy, and the strong Pleadings of Appetite and Desire are not often withstood, and the Imaginations soundly reprimanded, and brought under Subjection?
