his Family, for the Credit of his Ancestors. Friend (says the _Fox_,

smiling upon’t) there will need no Herald to Prove your Gentility; for

you carry the Marks of Your Original in Your very Skin.

The MORAL.

_Great Boasters and Lyars have the Fortune still some way or other to

Disprove themselves._
