How Mr. Peters enveighed against the pride of the Eng∣lish Nation. (Book 7)

The same man enveighing violently against the pride of this Nation, brake passionately into this Ex∣pression, Pride is the worm that consumes the best Fruit in this our Terrestial Paradice; For behold the Merchants wife in her Sattins, the Citizens in her Silkes, and the Chamber maid, many come up, she must glister in her silver Lace, on the upper coat half a Dozen at least, on the next coat few lesse; Noy their very Smocks must be laced forsooth; Take up that, and there sits Puss in her Majestie.
