§ 9. If all Secular Greatness is less conducible to a man's Happiness, or his Contentment here on Earth, and carries with it more Impediments in the Narrow way to Heaven, (which our Lord and his Apostles affirm expresly,) than That other State of life which is low, and little; It cannot but follow on the contrary, (for Contrariorum contraria est ratio, ) that the inferiour State of life is much the Best, and the most Retired the most desirable Condition. |
