Religion brought forth Prosperity, and the daughter destroyed the mother.
Cotton Mather
Instead of exhorting you to augment your charity, I will rather utter an exhortation, or at least a supplication, that you may not abuse your charity by misapplying it.
Cotton Mather

But especially preserve the chastity of your soul from the dangers you may incur, by a conversation with muses no better than harlots.
Cotton Mather
