that we are more Covetous than Provident,
more Ambitious than Wise, for every Man
Striving to make a Particular Profit to Him∣self,
we shall at Last bring the whole State or
Common-wealth to a Confusion; the truth is,
that Striving to make Particular Profits, you
make a General Spoil, for you Cut down
