a whole Country Old Men at your years must not only give good Example but also good Advice for as it is the Nature of Youth to wander it ought to be the Property of Age to walk uprightly and councel others to do the like Old Men at your years must be meek modest and peaceable for if once they occasion'd Disturbances and Broils they are now by all means to promote Unity Old Men at your years are to instruct the Ignorant and support the Weak and where they cannot Relieve they ought at least to Comfort for many times an Afflicted Heart receives greater Consolation from Words well spoken than whatever can possibly be given Old Men at your years must busie themselves in setling Affairs at home and bewailing their Sins abroad for he may very well be assur'd of his Salvation who in his Life-time does what he ought and at his Death the best he can Old Men at your years should be very sparing of Words and brief in Relations neither must they be addicted to tell Romances or repeat Drolls for if young People on this acc●unt are term'd Wild and Lewd Old assuredly will be esteem'd Mad-Men and Buffoons Old Men at your years should avoid all manner of Litigiousness and if possible buy off Law-Suits at any rate thereby to save themselves much trouble for Young People only endure such Fatigues whilst Old cannot help fretting incessantly at the least Disappointment Old Men at your years must converse with People of good Inclinations and no ill Conditions in whom they may safely Repose and with whom they may securely Discourse nothing in this World being so great ease to the Heart of Man as pleasing Conversation Old Men at your years must seek out and choose Virtuous Persons for Friends and be very careful such as they pitch upon and converse with be neither over-given to talk nor importunate in asking Friendship and Importunity being for the most part incompatible Old Men at your years ought not to entertain any other vain or Worldly thoughts than those of Managing their Estates and looking after their Families for he that does not mind his Estate will certainly starve and who neglects his Family will as surely never want Misfortunes Old Men at your years are oblig'd only to be clean and decently Dress'd for where gayety is commendable in Youth in Age it is greatly to be despis'd Old Men at your years must very cautiously avoid quarrelling with Enemies or wrangling with Neighbours bec●use where they happen to have abusive Language given 'em the mischief is they may have Sense enough to resent but have not strength sufficient to revenge Old Men at your years must be very Charitable and Compassionate for as raw young Fellows being infatuated with the Affairs of the World think it enough they are call'd Christians Old Men who have had more Experience and are undeceiv'd may assure themselves God will never have Mercy where they want Charity Old Men at your years ought to have Pious Books to improve their time and History to divert them for since Age will neither permit travel nor labour they must otherwise of necessity be all day idle and thoughtful therefore 't were much better they should employ their time in reading than tiring themselves out with reflecting on times past Old Men at your years are to avoid sitting in Councel or medling with Government because the Business there is for the most part manag'd by turbulent Youths and byass'd Persons Men of Sense being seldom or never believ'd and ancient People as rarely regarded Old Men at your years when either advis'd with must not be rash loud nor positive because Youth is only permitted to be Headstrong where Age is always to be govern'd by Reason Old Men at your Age must be sober peaceable and chaste and rather value themselves on their Virtues than Years for in these and all other times Men have been still more Respected for good Lives than living long Old Men at your years after taking necessary care of their Souls must next have regard to their Bodies for as Galen says Old Age is of that wonderful Nature it is neither an absolute Disease nor perfect Health Old Men at your years must endeavour to have a House airy and open to the Sun that it may be both wholesome and pleasant for I am of Opinion no Money is better laid out than what an ancient Person parts with that way Old Men at your years must not only be sure to live in a good House but also to lie on a good Bed and take care as the one be made soft the other be kept warm for an ancient Man being always tender and sickly takes more harm by a little Air at a Cranny than he did when young in a Frosty Night Old Men at your years must beware they have but few Dishes on their Table as also that the Meat be tender and well season'd for otherwise if they eat much and love variety they will always be sickly and seldom be at rest for tho they may have Money wherewithall to buy they rarely have Stomachs sufficient to digest Old Men at your years must have a warm Bed a Room well hung a soft Fire and Chimney that does not smoak for the Life of Old People depends chiefly on being cleanly keeping themselves warm and living easie Old Men at your years must be cautious of living over Water standing on moist Ground and sleeping in windy Places because being tender as Children and naturally infirm the Air penetrates their Pores and Dampness soon seizes their Spirits Old Men at your years upon pain of Death must be moderate at Dinner and abstinent at Supper because their Stomachs being weak and cold cannot digest two Meals a day when that greedy old Person who presumes to do the contrary will both belch much and sleep little Old Men at your years to prevent Sicknesses and growing fat and unweildy must lighten themselves sometimes with Exercise otherwise perhaps they may once happen to be seised by an Astma which will so choak 'em up they shall rather seem to blow than breath Old Men at your years should be very cautious of giving ill Language to Servants and must bear sometimes with Failings and besides pay 'em duly their Wages and this that they may live easie and not dissatisfied for otherwise they will be negligent in performing their Duty and very often subject to Steal Old Men at your y●ars must make it their chief business to go to Church but if any one thinks much of this Injunction I require it no oftner of him than he went to see his Mistress when young To conclude Old Men at your years must endeavour to wear their Cloaths neat Linnen clean keep their Houses decent and Beds sweet for he who is Ancient and would be esteem'd Wise if he desires to be healthy and live contented must keep his Body free from Lice and Mind from Disgusts At the end of your
