mind of this excellent man, in fpite of the well known farcafm of bis far-

Dean. How compleatly Rebgion and Trade can go together, and how fub-
fervient they may be made to each other’s advantage, the Dean has made
very clear, when he fays in one of his Sermons, that Trade employs the
mind, and keeps it out of idlenefs; and that Religion purifies the heart,
and gives a fandlion to morality.
