BOOK I.
I.THE Example of my Grandfather Verus gave me the Advantage of a Candid and dispassionate Temper.
II. By the Recollection of my Father's[1] Character, I learn'd to be both Modest and Manly.
III. As for my Mother[2], she taught me to have a Regard for Religion, to be generous and open-handed, and not only to forbear doing any Body an ill Turn, but not so much as to endure the thought on't. By Her likewise I was bred to a plain unexpensive way of Living, and very different from the common Luxury and Liberties, of young People of my Quality.
