REFLEXION.

There are Degrees in Good Things. There are Blessings of Fortune,

and Those are of the Lowest Rate. The Next above Those Blessings are

the Bodily Advantages of Strength, Gracefulness and Health; but the

Superlative Blessings, in fine, are the Blessings of the Mind: Fools

’tis true may be allow’d to Brag of Foolish Things; but the _Leopard_’s

_Beauty_ without the _Foxes Wit_ is no better then a Fop in a _Gay Coat_.
