As Covetousness Is The Root Of All

Alas The Church Of England! What With Popery On One Hand, And Schismatics On The Other, How Has She Been Crucified Between Two Thieves!

Tis Very Strange Men Should Be So Fond Of Being Wickeder Than They Are.

Not The Man In The Moon, Not The Groaning-board, Not The Speaking Of Friar Bacon's Brazen- Head, Not The Inspiration Of Mother Shipton, Or The Miracles Of Dr. Faustus, Things As Certain As Death And Taxes, Can Be More Firmly Believed.

It Put Me Upon Reflecting How Little Repining There Would Be Among Mankind At Any Condition Of Life, If People Would Rather Compare Their Condition With Those That Were Worse, In Order To Be Thankful, Than Be Always Comparing Them With Those Which Are Better, To Assist Their Murmurings And Complaining.

All Men Would Be Tyrants If They Could.
