A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

It is a practice of that Dominion we ought to have over our selves; a prudent Exercise of the Victory which both our Reasons and our Wills should still obtain over our Appetites. For by denying unto our selves some things lawfull and allow'd, we may attain to a facility of abstaining from the things that are most forbidden.
