A Foxe being caught in a snare, when shée had escaped with hir taile cutte off, was asha∣med of hir life, wherevppon shée pretended to persuade other Foxes thereto, so as by a com∣mon mischéefe shée might couer hir owne shame: When shée had assembled them all togither, shée counselled them to cutte off their tailes, allea∣ging that they were not onely vncomely, but al∣so a superfluous burthen: One of the Foxes aun∣swered
hir: Truely sister, if this thing were not onely for thy profite, thou wouldest not counsell vs thereto.
