What
human
contrivances
we
are
to
adopt
,
and
what
we
are
to
avoid
For
certain
institutions
of
men
are
in
a
sort
of
way
representations
and
likenesses
of
natural
objects
.
And
of
these
,
such
as
have
relation
to
fellowship
with
devils
must
,
as
has
been
said
,
be
utterly
rejected
and
held
in
detestation
;
those
,
on
the
other
hand
,
which
relate
to
the
mutual
intercourse
of
men
,
are
,
so
far
as
they
are
not
matters
of
luxury
and
superfluity
,
to
be
adopted
,
especially
the
forms
of
the
letters
which
are
necessary
for
reading
,
and
the
various
languages
as
far
as
is
required
a
matter
I
have
spoken
of
above
.
To
this
class
also
belong
shorthand
characters
,
those
who
are
acquainted
with
which
are
called
shorthand
writers
.
All
these
are
useful
,
and
there
is
nothing
unlawful
in
learning
them
,
nor
do
they
involve
us
in
superstition
,
or
enervate
us
by
luxury
,
if
they
only
occupy
our
minds
so
far
as
not
to
stand
in
the
way
of
more
important
objects
to
which
they
ought
to
be
subservient
.
