Sin seldom or never terminates in one person; but the pernicious example of one, doth animate and embolden another; or thus, the beholding of evil in another, doth often allure a stander-by. This should exhort all men that they take heed of so much as beholding evil done by others, lest also they should be allured. Evil acts, as well as evil words, will eat as doth a canker.
And before I do conclude this, let me also add one word more; to wit, to exhort them to look that they may see that which God at present may be doing among the Babylonians. When God had his people into Babylon of old, he presented them with such rarities there, as he never shewed them in their own country.
Turn the tables on them, ye truer gentry, truer nobility, truer royalty of the heart and of the mind; speak freely, love warmly, laugh cheerfully, explain frankly, exhort zealously, admire liberally, advise earnestly be not ashamed to show you have a heart: and if some cold-blooded simpleton greet your social effort with a sneer, repay him for you can well afford a richer gift than his whole treasury possesses repay him with a kind good-humoured smile: it would have shamed Jack Dillaway himself.

For my own part, as things stand, I have but little regret to find myself out of the number, and therefore I shall continue in all humility to exhort and warn my fellow-subjects never to receive or utter this coin, which will reduce the kingdom to beggary by much quicker and larger steps than have hitherto been taken.
That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety; that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober, domestic, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill reported of. The younger men in like manner exhort to be sober minded.
He does not, it is true, exhort the people to follow in the path of righteousness; it is the philosopher's task simply to show the way. But the morality Spinoza stands for is the old prophetic morality purified and made consistent with itself.
I EXHORT therefore, first of all, that there be offered supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings for the whole race of mankind: for kings, and all that are in a state of eminence, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and seriousness.
Therefore I do most earnestly exhort you as men, as Christians, as parents, and as lovers of your country, to read this paper with the utmost attention, or get it read to you by others; which that you may do at the less expense, I have ordered the printer to sell it at the lowest rate.
