 that are taught it ; so does the Parson. The 

 Magpie is always skipping and hopping and 

 peeping into other's nests: so is the Parson. 

 The Magpie's colour is partly black and partly 

 white ; so is the Parson's. The Magpie's greedi

 are those of the Parson. I was saying to a 

 farmer the other day, that if the Boroughmongers 

 had a mind to ruin America, they would another 

 time, send over five or six good large flocks of 

 Magpies, instead of five or six of their armies ; 

 but, upon second thought, they would do the 

 thing far more effectually by sending over five 

 or six flocks of th ir Parsons, and getting the 

 people to receive them and cherish them as the 

 Bulwark of religion.
