A _Lyon_ and a _Bull_.
In the Days of Yore, when _Bulls_ liv’d upon _Mutton_, there was a _Lyon_
had a Design upon a Mighty _Bull_, and gave him a very Civil Invitation
to come and Sup with him; for, says he, I have gotten a _Sheep_, and you
must needs take Part on’t. The _Bull_ Promis’d, and Went; but so soon as
ever he saw what a Clutter there was with Huge, Over-grown Pots, Pans,
and Spits, away he scowr’d Immediately. The _Lyon_ presently call’d after
him, and Ask’d him, _Whither in such Haste?_ Oh, says the _Bull_, ’tis
High Time for me to be Jogging, when I see such Preparation: for this
Provision looks as if you were to have a _Bull_ for your Supper, rather
then a _Mutton_.

_When a Man has both an Interest and an Inclination to Betray us, there’s
No Trusting him._
