A treasury of maxims and proverbial sayings : divine and moral; extracted partly from the sacred scriptures, and the Writings of the primitive Christian Fathers; also from the most wise and virtuous heathen philosophers: but chiefly from the writings and dying Speeches of great and good men in the last and present age: with some never in print before. The whole so modell'd as to become a Proverbial Catechism For Youth, and a Common Directory Of Converse and Conduct to All.
