The protestant monastery: or, a complaint against the brutality of the present age. Particularly the pertness and insolence of our youth to aged persons. With a Caution to People in Years, how they give the Staff out of their own Hands, and leave themselves at the Mercy of others. Concluding with a proposal for erecting a Protestant monastery, where persons of small fortunes may end their day in plenty, ease, and credit, without burthening their Relations, or accepting Publick Charities.
