, and a Man of good Business and Reputation, who made it his Care to train up this unhappy Youth from his Infancy in the Ways of Virtue and Love of Honesty, and gave him the Advantages of Education, neceessary for one designed to be a Tradesman, to make his Way in the World. When he came of Age fit to be put Abroad, his indulgent Parent gave him Choice of what Trade he was inclinable to follow. He was a Youth naturally of a good Disposition, and submitted to his Father to make Choice for him, as the better Judge. He was his darling Son, and being unwilling to venture him out of his Sight, he recommended his own Business to him; and accordingly he was bound Apprentice to his Father for seven Years. For the first three Years he behaved very well, and was early and late in reaping the Advantages of honest Industry; so that he encreased the Business by his Diligence and good Behaviour.
