UPon a Bunch of Thistles, as a Viper sate Swimming, which the Current of a great River by chance had washed from the Shoar, and was carrying away down the Stream; a Fox espyed him, and calling in Derision to him; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, said he, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Thou art even a fit Marriner for such a Vessel.
Against ill men, who miscarry in some dishonest Enterprises.
