11/29

Suppose a king grows a beast, or a tyrant, after I have taken an oath: a 'prentice takes an oath; but if his master useth him barbarously, the lad may be excused if he wishes for a better.
No.7._Jan.13, 1715-16_ .-- _Of Party Lies._ _Addison_.

If we may credit common report, there are several remote parts of the nation in which it is firmly believed, that all the churches in London are shut up; and that if any clergyman walks the streets in his habit, 'tis ten to one but he is knocked down by some sturdy schismatic .-- _Swift_.

No--but treated like a dog.
No.8._Jan.16, 1715-16_ .-- _The Female Association._ _Addison_.

It is therefore to be hoped that every fine woman will make this laudable use of her charms; and that she may not want to be frequently reminded of this great duty, I will only desire her to think of her country every time she looks in her glass .-- _Swift_.

By no means, for if she loves her country, she will not be pleased with the sight.
_Addison_.
