It was nobly obſerved by. 
Marcus Antonius , that great 
Emperour , and Philoſopher, 
That a Weaver or Cobler 
would willingly {equeſtrate 
themſelves from all ſociety, 
that they might proſecute 
their ſeveral trades; and yet 
man cannot retire himſelf, that 
he may admire the creation, 
and - exerciſe his own foul, 
which is the great trade of a 
rational Creature, and of a 
true Philoſopher. And {ince 
gain can prevail with all ſo far, 

' as to make them renounce f0- 
. ciety, and eſteem company an 
idle folly ; certainly, if we 
would refle&t upon the great 
advantages of Solitude , both 
as to morality and devotion, 
it were an eafie matter to pre- 
ter it to, thoſe ' which are

nature more adequately, as to

neither entices men to cat, till
