_Jupiter_’s Two _Wallets_.
When _Jupiter_ made Man, he gave him _Two Satchels_; one for his
_Neighbours Faults_, t’other for his _Own_. These Bags he threw over
his Shoulders, and the Former he carried Before him, the Other Behind.
So that this Fashion came up a great while ago it seems, and it has
continu’d in the World ever since.
The MORAL.
_Every Man living is partial in his own Case; but it is the Humour of
Mankind to have our Neighbours Faults always in our Eye, and to cast our
own over our Shoulders, out of sight._
