 Comprehension

Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow each passage.
I hope my reader will be convinced, at his very entrance of this work, that he will find in the whole course of it
nothing prejudicial to the cause of religion and virtue, nothing inconsistent with the strictest rules of decency,
nor which can offend even the chastest eye in the perusal. On the contrary, I declare that to recommend
goodness and innocence has been my sincere endeavour in this history. This honest purpose you have been
pleased to think I have attained: and to say the truth, it is likeliest to be attained in books of this kind; for an
example is a kind of picture, in which virtue becomes, as it were, an object of sight, and strikes us with that
loveliness, which Plato assures there is in her naked charms.
Besides displaying that beauty of virtue which may attract the admiration of mankind, I have attempted to
engage a stronger motive to human action in her favour, by convincing men, that their true interest directs them
to a pursuit of her. For this purpose I have shown that no acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that
solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue; nor can in the least balance
the evil of horror and anxiety, which in their room, guilt introduces in our bosoms. And again, that as these
acquisitions are in themselves generally worthless, so are the means to attain them not only base and infamous,
but at best uncertain, and always full of danger. Lastly, I have endeavoured strongly to inculcate, that virtue and
innocence can scarce ever be injured but by indiscretion; and that it is this alone which often betrays them into
the snare that deceit and villainy spread for them. A moral which I have the more industriously laboured, as the
teaching it is, of all others, the likeliest to be attended with success; since, I believe, it is much easier to make
good men wise, than bad men good.
For these purposes, I have employed all the wit and humour of which I am master in the following history;
wherein I have endeavoured to laugh mankind out of its favourite follies and vices. How far I have succeeded in
this good attempt, I shall submit to the candid reader, with only two requests: first, that he will not expect to find
perfection in this work; and secondly, that he will excuse some parts of it, if they fall short of that little merit
which I hope may appear in others.
I will detain you, sir, no longer. Indeed I have run into a preface, while I professed to write a dedication. But
how can it be otherwise? I dare not praise you; and the only means I know of to avoid it, when you are in my
thoughts, are either to be entirely silent, or to turn my subjects to some other subject.
Pardon, therefore, what I have said in this epistle, not only without your consent, but absolutely against it; and
give me leave, in this public manner, to declare that I am, with the highest respect, and gratitude, Sir, Your most
obliged, obedient, humble servant....
