There are none so Forward as Fools to Mend Things that are Well already;
though they find upon Experiment that they Make and they Leave every
Thing worse then they found it. They are at first for Stopping of
Holes, and when that won’t do, they are for Making of ’em again. We
have abundance of Fools in the Moral to answer this Fool in the Fable;
that is to say, People that take upon them to Correct what they do not
Understand; and that when they have Embroil’d the Publick, leave the
Main Chance to Fortune, to Shuffle the Cards anew, and Play the Game
over again. This is the Fate on’t, when Pedants will be medling with
Politicks, and Botchers setting up for the Reformers of Providence.
