  The Phrygian fabulist or, The fables of Æsop: extracted from the Latine copie, and moraliz'd. By Leonard Willan Gent.

summary:
  Xanthus ( not knowing what els well to saie ) replied , this , as other things was in the Government of Divine Providence : at which Aesop laughing ; Xanthus incenst , ask't , if in it , hee had derided him ? Aesop replied ; not him , but who him taught : For what was by Divine Providence don , by wise men onely should bee scrutable : desiring that the resolution might bee left to him ; which granted , Aesop thus answered it ; A Woman having children by the first , became the Wife unto a second Husband , who children also by a former had : unto the children shee brought forth , the Wife a most indulgent Mother was ; but unto those of which shee found her Husband prepossest , a churlish stepdame , whose rights shee often them abridg'd , to cherish more her own : So the Earth , to those that were her proper Issue , as Legitimate , plentifully administred : But unto those that planted were by Art , as Bastards , scarce afforded Nourishment . Aesop said to the King ( with great Humilitie ) hee nor by force , nor by necessitie was compel'd to his Presence , but of his own Accord ; therefore desir'd his Pardon and Libertie to speak : which granted ; Aesop said ; A certain man , who Locust sought to slaie , by chance had took a Grashopper , whom hee about to kil ; the Grashopper desired him , not to destroie him without anie Caus : shee did the Ear no hurt , nor yet in other Action injure him ; the motion of her little tongue did but delight the Passenger .
