No part of the faculty having ever been remarkable for the regularity or fervency of their _devotions_, your presence at church will consequently not be expected (particularly after the impressions you have made of being perpetually engaged) unless you politically appear there at two or three different times, merely for the convenience of being called out _by your own direction_, at the still and most awful part of the service; a circumstance that will tell much to your advantage with every superannuated _old woman_ in the parish. Take particular care that your horse is constantly brought to your door on the sabbath day, just as the neighbours are passing to church, and there paraded some time previous to your appearance, which to every weak mind will have its effects; and be equally careful to measure the steps of your _horse_, by the hands of your _watch_, so that whether your journey is accidentally long, or intentionally short, you return just at the moment of their dismission from the religious conventicle. In passing the whole body of inhabitants, be strictly careful of your self consequence—a bow of _significant respect_ to two or three of the _superiors_, may be applicable and consistent—but no familiarity with, or knowledge of, the multitude; the greater your _ostentation_ and _indifference_, the more _servile_ will be their _admiration_ and _respect_. By no means form any hasty or inconsiderate matrimonial connection; you will derive many advantages at first from a life of _celibacy_; there are always a variety of juvenile females in the country (as well as the metropolis) who considering themselves _every way qualified_ to constitute _doctor’s ladies_, will most industriously _throw_ themselves in your way upon every occasion, that their personal attractions may not escape your observation. To families where there are daughters, nieces, or cousins, who _conceive_ themselves ripe for the _gordian knot_, you may assure yourself of being called in a short time; for as you are such “a charming man” in your appearance, (and so admirably _fitting_ for a husband) there can’t be the least reason to doubt your professional qualifications.
