private virtues will ftill be more beneficial, the more they are exalted into public Nay, I own, my dear Sir, I am fuperftitious enough to believe, a religious prince, and a religious miniftry, are, even in a political light, among the greatest bleffings of a nation. Profligacy, with all its boafted benefits, I fhould dread to fee connected with any department of the Public. It makes a plain man fhudder to hear patriots bawling for the public good, while every action of their lives, perhaps, is an addition to the public guilt. Let us rather confider the virtues of a private life, as a pledge to the Public; and think ourselves happy when our friends have given this pledge to their country.

Warmed with thefe fentiments, I beg you, my dear Sir, to believe me, with the greatest fincerity and efteem,

Your truly affectionate friend and servant,

WILL. GILPIN.
