The fables of young Æsop, with their morals with a moral history of his life and death, illustrated with forty curious cuts applicable to each fable.

The MORAL.

IT's no difficult matter to Guess, who is meant by the Salamander, because ••••ere is no Creature under the Sun, more like it, than an Atheist: For, sti∣fling all Convictions, his Conscience is Sear'd as with an Hot Iron; making his own shallow Reason his God; which being False, is utterly Uncapable to di∣rect him to search and find out the most True and Holy GOD, and Creator of Wisdom it Self; and so he Lives diving in the Fire of his own boundless, and foolish Imaginations. His hellish Zeal Obliging him to venture his All, on the Notion of Dying like a Beast; and yet not Suffer'd to Live a Life like it. Thus he spends his Youth like a witty Fool; his Man-hood worse than an unreasona∣ble Beast; and his Age (if Justice cut him not off) like a Devil incarnate.

Avoid then, the Society of such Mor∣tal immortal Devils, lest you are Infect∣ed by their Bituminous Poyson, and A∣theistical Conversation.

Ah, pity me! I do Believe, dread GOD; Those who do not, Lord, Scourge them with thy Rod.)
