Children in law, breed may a flaw.

〈◊〉〈◊〉
Hence brats in law? maides, mothers the first day,What mak'st thou in a widdowed bed I pray?When Hymen joynes you single: these are bredAre the best pledges of thy maidenhead.To graft a branch with ripe fruits if thou strive,••Tis a meere burden, and it cannot thrive.The withered apples fall (unfit to taste)For both the stock and graft indure like waste,Slyps without fruit, transpose unto thy tree,So shall thy fruit in Autumne better bee.Do't whilst the gumme in the greene rind doth swell,Plants without mutuall sap ne're prosper well.

A small benefit may arise to a great profit, if it be sea∣••ably confer'd, saith Curtius.

Time is the best counsellor, and the chiefe president counsels, saith Antisthenes, and Cicero calleth it the most sect Herald of truth.
