REFLEXION.

Here’s a Just Judgment upon Ill Nature; wherefore let no Man make Sport

with the Miserable, that is in danger to be Miserable himself, as

Every Man may be; and in Truth every Man deserves so to be, that has

no Tenderness for his Neighbour. It is a high Degree of Inhumanity not

to have a Fellow feeling of the Misfortune of my Brother; but to take

Pleasure in my Neighbour’s Misery, and to make Merry with it, is not only

a Brutal, but a Diabolical Barbarity and Folly.
