’Tis not Every Man that can distinguish betwixt the Excellencies of
Beauty and of Virtue: And how in Truth should they Distinguish, when
Every Man that has Eyes in his head, sees the One, and not One Man of
Forty Understands the Other? Nay, the very Ostentation of the Thorn, is a
Weakness, and I might have said a Vice too; for the Vanity Unhallows the
very Virtue, especially where it is Accompany’d with Detraction.
