ivances to save herself from
violation: Persons, even sorely tempted, may learn to preserve a sacred
regard to truth; which always begets a reverence for them, even in the
corruptest minds.

In short,

Her obliging behaviour to her equals, before her exaltation; her
kindness to them afterwards; her forgiving spirit, and her
generosity;

Her meekness, in every circumstance where her virtue was not
concerned;

Her charitable allowances for others, as in the case of Miss
Godfrey, for faults she would not have forgiven in herself;

Her kindness and prudence to the offspring of that melancholy
adventure;

Her maiden and bridal purity, which extended as well to her
thoughts as to her words and actions;

Her signal affiance in God;

Her thankful spirit;

Her grateful heart;

Her diffusive charity to the poor, which made her blessed
by them whenever she appeared abroad;

The cheerful ease and freedom of her deportment;

Her parental, conjugal, and maternal duty;

Her social virtues;

Are all so many signal instances of the excellency of her mind, which
may make her character worthy of the imitation of her sex. And the
Editor of these sheets will have his end, if it inspires a laudable
emulation in the minds of any worthy persons, who may thereby entitle
themselves to the rewards, the praises, and the blessings, by which
PAMELA was so deservedly distinguished.
