“Religion prompts us to a future state,
The last Appeal from Fortune and from Fate,
Where Gods all righteous Ways will be procur,
The Bad meet Punishment the Good Reward”
Ann West July 28, 1816
and
“Learn to contemn all Praife betimes,
for flatt’ry is the Nurse of Crimes.
With early virtue plant thy Breast,
The f’pecious Arts of vice detest.”
Mary West Dec. 18, 1818
