Strange, to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition, every man and wife gazing and smiling at them.

Now public business takes up so much of my time that I must get time a Sundays or a nights to look after my own matters.

The best of a bad bargain.

I did this night promise my wife never to go to bed without calling upon God upon my knees in prayer.

Music and women I cannot but give way to whatever my business is.
