“ There's No Peace to be Expected among those that are Naturally Fierce and Quarrelsome. But we are to Distinguith however, betwixt Injuries of Malice, and of Evil Nature, as we do betwixt Violences in Hot Bloud, and Those of Deliberate Spite and Intention ”

“ A Cock-Master bought a Partridge, and turn‘d it among his Fighting Cocks, for them to Feed together. The Cocks beat the Partridge away from their Meat, which she layd the more to Heart, because it look'd like an Aversion to her purely as a Stranger. But the Partridge finding These very Cocks afterwards Cutting one Another to piees she comforted her self with This Thought, that she had no Reason to expect they should be Kinder to Her, than they were to One Another. The Moral. 'Tis No Wonder to find Those People Troublesome to Strangers, that Cannot Agree among Themselves. ”
