There are some Natures so Untractable, that there’s No Good to be done
upon them by Generosity, Kindness, Artifice, or Councel, nay, the more
pains a Man takes to Reclaim them, the Worse they are; and when they
are put out of Condition to do Mischief by Violence, they will find
a Way yet to Teize and Plague People with Restless, and Vexatious
Importunities. They love to be Troublesome, and with the _Shrew_ upon
the _Ducking-stool_, when their _Mouths_ are _Stopt_, they’ll call
_Pricklouse_ still with their _Thumbs_.
