REFLEXION.

Saying and Doing are Two Things. _Physician Cure thy Self_, Preaches to

us upon This Fable. Every Man does Best in his own Trade, and _the Cobler

is not to go beyond his Last_. We have of these _Dunghil-Pretenders_,

in All Professions, and but too many of them that Thrive upon their

Arrogance. If This _Worm_ had met with an _Ass_ to _Encourage_ his

Vanity, instead of a _Fox_ to _Correct_ it, he might have been Advanc’d

to a _Doctor of the College_ perhaps: Or to _some more Considerable Post

of Honour, either in Church or State_.
