Here is Prudence, Caution, and Obedience, recommended to us in the _Kids_
refusal to Open the Door; and here is likewise set forth in the _Wolf_,
the Practice of a Fraudulent, and a Bloody Impostor. This Moral runs
through the Whole Business of Humane Life, for so much as the Plot is
carry’d on against the Simple and the Innocent, under False Colours,
and Feigned Pretences. There are _Wolves_, in _Policy_, as well as in
_Mythology_; and if the _Kids Obedience_ had not been more then her
_Sagacity_, she would have found, to her Cost, the Teeth of a _Wolf_, in
the mouth of a _Goat_; and the malice of an Enemy cover’d under the Voice
and Pretence of a Parent.
