32 THE HISTORY OF BEES: 
bellion, faétion and divifion, cowardice, idlenefs, injuf- 
tice, intemperance, impurity, indecency, felfifhnefs, im- 
providence, and fecurity, why fhould we practife 
them? : | biden 
Let us leatn the contrary virtues from thefe inftructive 
infets. But how many of the human fpecies need to 
be fent to fchool to Ants and Bees, which better anfwer 
the end of their being! | ; | | 
Dheir Love and Unity. 
SINCE infinite wifdom fends us to Ants and Bees for 
inftru@tion, let us not difdain, nor refufe to learn from 
thefe infects, as follows, vzz. } | 
Love, with loyalty and fubmiffion to our only right- 
ful Sovereign Kinc GEORGE, and all lawful power. 
The Grand Seignior, with all his janiffaries about him, 
is not half fo abfolute as the Queen of Bees; yet 
fuch is their innate loyalty, that they will, with the great- 
eft courage, fight to preferve her in fafety. | 
Again; Courage and refolution in defence of our civil 
liberties and reformed religion. Will thefe little infects, 
without reafon, fo freely venture their lives and eftates in 
defénce of their Sovereign? Let us then behave like ge- 
nuine Britons, and Chriftian heroes, in the caufe of En- 
gijh \iberty, truth, and true religion. 
Alfo diligence and prudence; feafonably providing 
againft a {pending time. Bees neither beg nor borrow, 
and {pare no pains in Summer to lay in their Winter- 
ftore.
