A _Priest_ and a _Sick Man_.
A _Priest_ that was willing to give a _Sick Man_ a Word of Comfort in his
Extreme Misery, told him, _That whom the Lord loves he Chastens_. ’Tis no
wonder he has so few Faithful Servants then, says the Poor Man; and I’m
afraid he’ll e’en have Fewer if he goes this way to work.
The MORAL.
_Ignorance is some sort of Excuse, for a Man that Speaks or does an Ill
thing, with a good Intention, or without Understanding that he does or
says Amiss._
