More People are lost for want of good Education and Institution, then for
want of Honest and Honourable Inclinations; and these are Miscarriages
that Parents and Tutors are in a Great Measure to Answer for. We are
here given to Understand, that there are Offices of Trust also, as well
as Offices of Labour, and the one as Necessary to the Common Good as the
Other. The Mastiff Maintains the Hound, as well as the Hound the Mastiff;
and if the one did not keep the House from being Robb’d, the Other would
have nothing to eat in’t at all. So that This Fable, upon the Whole
Matter, will serve for a Political Reading to Princes and Governors, as
well as to Masters of Private Families, upon the Reciprocal Use, Benefit,
and Necessity of Industry and Protection betwixt Rulers and Subjects,
for the Preservation of a _Common-wealth_: The One Supplies us with what
we Want, and the Other Supports us in the Defence of what we Get, and
neither would Signifie any thing to us without the Other.
