Text Appearing Before Image:
e was this, not to burn my fingers in the business.That it was ten to one against our making any hand of itat all, that they were not worth shearing, and at best thatwe should raise a cursed outcry and get but little wool. Ishall remember his last advice to me as long as I live: 238 k FRANKLINS SPEECH. (^t. 68. Speak good words to them and they will be thy servantsforever. And now, my lords and gentlemen, I have stated thewhole matter fairly and squarely before you. It is yourown business, and if you are not content as you are, lookto the rest for yourselves. But if I were to give you a wordof advice, it should be to remind you of the Italian epitaphupon a poor fool that killed himself with quacking: Stava ben, por star meglio, sto qui, that is to say, I was well, I would be better, I tookphysick and died. SPEECH INTENDED TO HAVE BEEN SPOKEN ON THE BILL FOR ALTERING THE CHARTERS OF THE COLONY OF MASSACHUSETTS BAY THE FOURTH EDITION LONDON Printed for T. CADELL, in the Strand mdcclxxiv
