*If you go on, and ask what is the happiest thing for a _young gentleman_ or his _sisters_ to do? The answer must be the same; that nothing can be so happy or glorious for them, as to live in such habits of piety, in such exercises of a divine life, as this good old bishop does. For every thing that is great and glorious in religion, is as much the true glory of every man or woman, as it is the glory of any bishop. If high degrees of divine love, if fervent charity, if spotless purity, if heavenly affection, if constant mortification, if frequent devotion, be the best and happiest way of life for any Christian, it is so for every Christian.
And as the wisest _bishop_ in the world is he who lives in the greatest heights of holiness, who is most exemplary in all the exercises of a divine life; so the _wisest youth_, the _wisest woman_, whether married or unmarried, is she that lives in the highest degrees of Christian holiness, and all the exercises of a divine and heavenly life.
