Le Sens MORALE.

CEtte Fable nous enseigne, que la Justice de Dieu dispense les biens qu' elle donne aux hommes auec beaucamp d'esga∣litè, et que la Nature recompense vn defaut par vn aduantage plus considerable; ce qui d'oit obliger tout's les personnes raison∣nables, à ne conceuoir point de mespris pour ceux qui n' ont pas tant de perfections qu' eux, Mais aussi à se contenter de leur con∣dition, et à rendre graces à Dieu des biens; qu' ils ont receus de sa liberalitè. Au lieu de se plaindre de ceux qu' ils ne possedent pas. En effect quel est l' homme si peu qu' il aye receu de Dieu, qui ne soit encore oblige de luy en rendre tous les jours des gra∣ces immortelles, et de confesser hautement aux yeux de tout le monde, qu' il à encore receu plus de faueurs de sa purè grace, qu' il n' en meritoit.
