Excerpt from Dialogues Concerning Education Compliment and Ceremony from yourneighbours, but a friendlyvvelcome and as much real Kindnefs. You will meet with plain hone People, who af feet neither Gaudinefs in their Drefs, nor great Refinement in their Manners 3. Home-fpun Folks, who fpeak as they think, and appear what they Fine Fields you will fee indeed, enjoy frefh Air and agreeable Walks, and be entertained with Na; ture in her genuine Drefs, but, adieu to Balls, to Affemblies, to Plays, and all the Gaiety that at tends them. 0, Sir, faid the young Lady, you cannot think that this will be fuch a mighty Dif appointment to me. I went fometimes to thofe Diverfions, It Is true, but without being at all in love with them I found little other pleafure at an -aembly, than what the Company of a fewfriends gave me. And Iconfefs, that the chief Entertain-e ment I received at a Play, was the Reprefentations I there met with of Life, and the Leffons I drew from the Virtues or Follies of others. If, as you tell me, I am chie y to be entertained with Na ture in the Country, I go thither molt chearfiilly. For I am a profefi: Admirer of whatever is natural, and hate all Art that is allied to Difiimulation or Falfehood.
