But this is only a similitude, cannot deserve to be a Proof. For we as Sinners do owe to Industry, what the Crow does to Nature Being naturally unable to doat on sin, as it is sin, we are fain to dress it up with some Turtles Feathers. And having so don, we are fain to use our wits, to make ourselves become stupid. Speaking no better of sin than this, that it has comeliness in its kind, and is proportionably hansom, and comparatively good too. | And sure the Eye of a Lover sees no defect in its beloved.
