As " chanty, my friends, is a characteristic of a good man " and a christian, I wish by no means it should be im- " paired, in this our manor of Cortlandt ; permit me, " my neighbours, to instance one point in particular "to which I hope you will pay strict adherence, viz. "If you should disagreeably find any one, or more "amongst you who are blind to their own happiness, " let me intreat you to take no advantage of their "weakness, rather use lenient and mild persuasions; " tell them their true interest ; use all your endeav- "ours that if possible they may return to their right "senses: -- In this you will shine in triple capacity, "you recover the lost man, you draw together the " bands of unity, and are an honor to your King and " country."
