Let Every Man stick to his Own Part, without Taking Another Man’s Trade
out of his Hand. This is the Old Moral, but we may Read upon’t Another
way too. ’Tis a very Unequal Encounter, when Malice, Craft, and Power
are United against the Weak, and the Innocent: Saving where Providence
Interposes to the Relief of the One, and to the Infatuation of the
Other: As the _Wolfe_ here, that had a _Plot_ upon the _Kid_, was
Confounded by a _Counter-Plot_ of the _Kid_’s upon the _Wolfe_: And such
a _Counter-Plot_ it was too, as the _Wolfe_ with All his Sagacity, was
not able to Smell out. Wherefore let no Man Presume too much upon his Own
Strength, either of Body or of Mind; but Consider within himself, that
Heaven takes Part with the Oppressed; and that Tyrants Themselves are
upon their Behavior to a Superior Power.
