REFLEXION.

There’s no great Danger in Men of Huff and Bluster: Noise and Pretence

without Execution, is only _much ado about Nothing_; and yet this way

of Trifling, is the very Bus’ness and Practice of many that pass in the

World for Great Men, though they are much Mistaken that think them so.

But there are Reverend Appearers in all manner of Glorious Professions

and Adventures, as in Arms, Letters, Religion, Law, Policy, _&c._ There

are Quacks, in short, of all sorts, as Bullies, Pedants, Hypocrites,

Empyricks, Law-Jobbers, Politicasters, and the like; and there are _Men_

as well as _Black-Birds_ that are Silly enough not to Distinguish betwixt

a _Hawk_ and a _Buzzard_.
