REFLEXION.

It is a _School-Question_ how far a Man is answerable in many Cases for

his Dreams: Now here was Deliberation, Discourse, and Consent; So that

Avarice was at One End on’t, ’twas no wonder that the Devil should be at

the Other. But Men go to the Devil for Money Waking as well as Sleeping:

Nay, and Men of all Sorts and Qualities too, from the Prince to the

Beggar. Churchmen, Statesmen, Tradesmen, Lawyers, and who not? And if all

that go to Hell upon that Errand, should Beshit the Sheets, there would

be a World of Work for the Wash-Women.
