Muſt the old Proverbe, that _Old dogs bite ſorest_, be true in all kinde of _dogs_? Me thinkes the freſh _memory_ they have of the _mony_ they parted with for the _place_, ſhould haſten them for the _re-imburſing_: And perchance they doe but ſeeme eaſier to their _ſuiters_; who (as all other _Patients_) doe account all change of paine, eaſie. But if it bee ſo, it is either becauſe the ſodain _ſenſe_ & _contentment_ of the _honor_ of the _place_, retards and remits the rage of their _profits_, and ſo having ſtayed their _ſtomackes_, they can forbeare the ſecond _courſe_ a while: Or having overcome the _ſteepest_ part of the _hill_, and clambered above _Competitions_ and _Oppoſitions_ they dare loyter, and take breath: Perchance being come from _places_, where they taſted _no gaine_, a _little_ ſeems _much_ to them at firſt, for it is _long before a Christian conſcience overtakes, or straies into an Officers heart_. It may be that out of the _generall diſeaſe_ of all men not to love the _memory_ of a _predeceſſor_, they ſeeke to diſgrace them by ſuch _eaſineſſe_, and make good _firſt impreſſions_, that ſo having drawen much _water_ to their _Mill_, they may afterward _grind_ at eaſe: For if from the rules of good _Horſe-manſhip_, they thought it wholeſome to _jet_ out in a moderate _pace_, they ſhould alſo take up towards their _journeys_ end, not mend their pace continually, and _gallop_ to their _Innes-doore_, the _grave_; except perchance their _conſcience_ at that time ſo touch them, that they thinke it an _injury_ and _damage_ both to him that muſt _ſell_, and to him that muſt _buy_ the _Office_ after their _death_, and a kind of _dilapidation_ if they by continuing _honeſt_ ſhould diſcredit the _place_, and bring it to a _lower-rent_, or _under-value_.
