Malice by turns And if These are the chief marks of Wit and Good-breeding it must be confess'd that She had neither With all this Goodness Gentleness and Meekness of nature She had at the same time a degree of Spirit and Firmness unusual in her Sex and was particularly observ'd to have a wonderful Presence of mind in any accident of danger to shew that Innocence and Courage are nearly ally'd and that even in the softest Tempers where the one of these is in perfection there will and must be a good degree of the other Shall I say any thing of that innate Modesty of Temper and spotless Purity of Heart which shone throughout her whole Life and Conversation a Quality so strictly requir'd of her Sex and so generally I hope enjoy'd by it that it may be thought not so properly commendable in any of 'em to have it as infamous to want it However in the most common and ordinary Graces there are uncommon Heighths and Degrees and it was the particular happiness of this Wondrous Good Lady Remarkably to excell in every Vertue that belong'd to her even in those in which almost every body excells Shall I say that from this love of Purity it was that She banish'd her self from those Publick Diversions of the Town which it was scarce possible to be present at without hearing something that wounded chaste Ears and for which She thought no amends could be made to Vertue by all the Wit and Humour that might go along with it These Good Qualities she knew serv'd only to recommend the Poyson and make it palatable and thought it therefore a piece of service to other people who might perhaps be influenc'd by Her Example to stand off tho' She her self were secur'd from the Infection This questionless was One reason of her allowing her self in those dangerous Entertainments so sparingly but it was but One of Many She had really neither Relish nor Leisure for 'em nor for a thousand other things which the World miscalls Pleasures Not that She wanted naturally a Taste for any thing of this kind for her Apprehension was fine and her Wit very good and very ready at Command whenever ehe pleas'd to exercise it but She had turn'd her Thoughts so much on things of Use and Importance that matters of meer Pleasure grew flat and indifferent to her She was so taken up with the care of improving her understanding and bettering her Life in the discharge of the Offices necessary to her Rank in the Duties of her Closet and the Concerns of her Family that she found at the foot of the account but little time and less mind to give in to those vain Amusements She did not think it as I fear it is too often thought the peculiar Happiness and Privilege of the Great to have nothing to do but took care to fill every Vacant Minute of her Life with some useful or innocent Employment Indeed none were Vacant for the several Hours of the Day had their peculiar business allotted to them whether it were Conversation or Work Reading or Domestick affairs each of which came up orderly in its turn and was as the Wise-man speaks to be sure under Her management it was beautiful in its Season And this Regularity of Hers was free and natural without Formality or Constraint it was neither troublesome to Her nor to those that were with her when therefore any accident interven'd it was left off with as much ease as it was practis'd for amongst all her discretionary Rules the chief was to seem to have none and to make matters of Form give way always to Circumstances and Occasions She wrought with her Own Hands often when She could more profitably and pleasingly have employ'd her time in Meditation or Books but She was willing to set an example to those who could not and She took care therefore that that example should be well follow'd by all that were about her and whom She had any immediate influence over for She knew very well that the description of a Good Wife and a Perfect Woman in the Proverbs a Description which She much delighted in and often read was chiefly taken up in commending that Diligence by which She looketh well to the ways of her Houshold and eateth not the bread of Idleness and She knew also that she whose words these are said to be was no less a Woman than the Mother of King Lemuel Diligence and Frugality are Sisters and She therefore we may be sure who was so well acquainted with the one was no stranger to the other She was strictly careful of her expences and yet knew how to be Generous and to abound when the occasion requir'd it But of all ways of good management She lik'd That the worst which shuts our hands to the Poor to whom She was ever very Compassionate and Charitable To the other delights with which an high Fortune furnish'd her She was insensible almost but on This account She valu'd it that it gave her an opportunity of pursuing the several pleasures of Beneficence and of tasting all the sweets of well-doing She deliver'd the Poor that cry'd and the Fatherless and Him that had none to help him the blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon her and She caused the Widows heart to sing Very easie sure will this make her Audit at the great day of account that Charity will doubtless be allow'd to be a Skreen to her few Infirmities and Faults which when sprinkled by the Blood of Christ can cover a multitude of Sins In the exercise of this and of all other Vertues She was wonderfully Secret endeavouring to rise up as near as She could to the Rule of not letting her right hand know what her left hand did And this Secrecy of hers She manag'd so well that some of the most remarkable Instances of her Goodness were not known till after her death no not by Him who was partaker of all her Joys and Sorrows Retirement and Privacy She always lov'd and therefore chose it when after the Death of a near Relation an Excellent Person †The Old Lady Pickering under whose Care She had been bred She was at Liberty to have liv'd otherwise From that Time to her Marriage which was more than Three Years She hid her self in the Country having an early and setled aversion to the Noise and Inconveniencies of a Town-life and too little an opinion of her self to think that it was so much the interest of Vertue and Religion as it really was to have her known and distinguish'd When afterwards She went to Court as it was necessary for Her sometimes to do She did it with an Air which plainly shew'd that She went to pay her Duty there and not to delight her self in the Pomp and Glitter of that place Had She gone thither soon enough to see that Good and Glorious Queen the Ornament of It and of her Sex She had been taken we
