To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
5. Though a man has all other perfections, yet if he wants dis- cretion, lie will be of no great consequence in the world ; on the contrary, if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a com- mon share of others, he may do what he pleases in his particular station of life. 6. At the same time that I think discretion the most useful talent a man can be master of, I look upon cunning to be tlie accom- plishment of little, mean, ungenerous minds. Discretion points oat tiie noblest ends to ...us : and pursues the most proper and lauda- ble r.iethods of attaining them : cunning has only private, sellisli aime : and sticks at nothing which may make them succeed. 7. Discretion has large and ext/?nde3 views ; and, like a well- formed eye, comm.ands a whole horizon : cunning is a kind of short-sightedness, that discovers the minutest objects which are near at hand, but is not able to discern things at a distance. Dis- cretion, the more it is discovered, gives a greater authority to the person who possesses it: cunning, when it is once detected, loses its force, and makes a man incapable of bringing about even those events which he might have done, had he passed only for a plain man.
