More Fruits of Solitude by William Penn (1718) Part 11 170-173 (Of Formality)

 More Fruits of Solitude by William Penn (1718) Part 11 170-173 (Of Formality)

Bonus: 

This stopped working for like a week, worked again last night, and now doesn't again after I updated everything. Ughhhhh

Summary: Don't just be formal for formality's sake.

Commentary: 

170. Form is Good, but not Formality.

171. In the Use of the best of Forms there is too much of that I fear.

Ahhh, Plato!

’T s absolutely necessary, that this Distinction should go along with People in their Devotion; for too many are apter to rest upon What they do, than How they do their Duty.

Zero character contraction.
