Piety is the foundation of vertue; where the Spring is polluted, the stream cannot be pure; and where the ground-work is not good, the building is not lasting; he does nothing, that begins not well; that is only praise-wor∣thy, which proceeds from a right principle; Divinity is a better stock than Morality to graff on; little can be expected from depraved nature; I do not look for Grapes from Thorns, nor Figs from Thistles; as is the tree, so is the fruit.
