So that Agur here ſhews it to be as hard to find it out, as the way of an Eagle in the air, the way of a ſerpent on a rock, &c. Unleſs taken in the manner, ſhe ſtoutly denyes the action. And if ſo taken, yet —nihil eſt audacins illis,Juvenal Saty[illegible: 1 letter]. 6. Deprenſis, iram atque animos a crimine ſumunt.
