summary: One would be apt to think at first sight , that he might reach the End on 't , before he could count Twenty ; but there are so many By-Walks and Allies to cross , so many Turnings and Windings to find out , that he is soon convinced of his Mistake . On the other side , I have seen some Old Stagers walk upon Court Ground , as gingerly as upon Ice , or a Quagmire : And with all the Precaution and Fear imaginable , lest they should fall from a great Fortune by the same Defects that rais'd them : And not without cause , for the Ground is Hard in some Places , and Sinks in others ; but all People covet to get upon the highest Spot , to which there is no coming but by one Passage , and that is so narrow , that no Ambitious Pretender can keep the Way , without Justling other People down with his Elbows : And the further Mischief on 't is , that those that keep their Feet , will not help up those that are fallen :

For my own part , I love a good example , and such , to the great disgrace of the Church , 't is believ'd , have been very much wanted of late ; those that do show it , are not concern'd here , I 'm sure , and those that do not , 't is reason should have a gentle Reprimand , for 't is that which causes our Enemies to get so much ground , and makes Religion so little esteem'd ; and 't is this chiefly , not Malice nor Impiety , that has drawn this from the Pen of the Moralist .
