MAX. 48.

Insult not over Misery, nor deride Infirmity, nor despise Deformity. The first shews thy Inhumanity; the second, thy Folly; the third, thy Pride; He that made him miserable, made thee happy to lament him: He that made him weak, made thee strong to support him; He that made him de∣formed, gave thee favour to be humbled; He that is not sen∣sible of another's Unhappiness, is a Living Stone; but he that makes Misery the object of his triumph, is an Incarnate De∣vil.
