"It is true, indeed, he seemed not moved equally, either with Booth or the Serjeant; both whose Eyes watered at the Scene. In Truth, the Colonel, tho' a very generous Man, had not the least Grain of Tenderness in his Disposition. His Mind was formed of those firm Materials, of which Nature formerly hammered out the Stoic, and upon which the Sorrows of no Man living could make an Impression. A Man of this Temper, who doth not much value Danger, will fight for the Person he calls his Friend; and the Man that hath but little Value for his Money will give it him; but such Friendship is never to be absolutely depended on: For whenever the favourite Passion interposes with it, it is sure to subside and vanish into Air. Whereas, the Man, whose tender Disposition really feels the Miseries of another, will endeavour to relieve them for his own Sake; and, in such a Mind, Friendship will often get the Superiority over every other Passion.

"CONSIDER first, that the gold, frankincense, and myrrh, offered by the wisemen to our new-born Saviour, mystically denote other offerings, which we also ought daily to make to him. In the first place, we must offer him the tribute of our gold, as to our true King; that is, we must daily present him with our souls, stampt with his own image, and burnished with divine love. This is the gold, this is the tribute our Sovereign expects from us. When the Jews asked him concerning their giving tribute to Cæsar, he called for their coin, in which they had the image of Cæsar; and inferred from thence, that they were to render to Cæsar the things that were Cæsar's, (Matt. xxii.) that is, to give him what was stampt with his image. Our souls are stampt with God's own image, to this very end, that we should give them in tribute to him, by perfect love: render then to God the things that are God's; by daily offering your whole souls up to him, by fervent acts of love; and you shall have given him your gold.

"MARIAMNE
His offspring mortgag'd to redeem his crown!--
The wild Arabians who delight in blood,
Who live promiscuous, and without restraint
Of laws or manners propagate their kind,
With yerning passion yet preserve their young:
Nature on their unpolish'd marble prints
Much tenderer sentiments, than some can boast
Who call them barbarous.

"The Heart of the tender Youth, by forbearance of Instruction, grows opinionated, and obstinately embraces the Follies he has been indulg'd in, not being easily convinc'd of the criminal Quality of what he has been so long allow'd the Practice of by his negligent Parents; and this renders late Instruction fruitless: THEN as to Correction, the Heart being hardned, as before, by Opinion and Practice, and especially in a Belief that he ought not to be corrected, the Rod of Correction has a different Effect; for as the Blow of a Stripe makes an Impression on the Heart of a Child, as stamping a Seal does upon the soft Wax, the Reproof even of Words on the same Heart when grown up, and made hard, is like striking upon Steel, which instead of making an Impression on the Metal, darts back sparks of Fire in your Face.
