Boasters are Naturally Falsifyers, and the People of All Others that put
their Shams the Worst together. Their Imperfections would not be Half
so much taken Notice of, if their Own Vanity did not make Proclamation
of them; As a Blind Lady that I knew, was never Well, but when she was
Discoursing of Colours. _’Tis a Strange Thing, the Impudence of some
Women!_ Was a Word often in the Mouth of a Precise Dame, who her self was
as Common as the King’s High-Way. I knew Another that was never without
_Limon-Pill_ in her Mouth, to Correct an Unsavoury Vapour of her Own,
and yet would be Perpetually Inveighing against Foul Breaths. Now This
way of Covering Defects, Scandals or Inconveniences, is the Only Way of
Exposing them.
