2 For their Fraud; they are Cunning Hunters. They are Foxes as well as Lyons to get their Prey. Nay the Fox-head doth them often more stead, then the Lyons Skin. Mical. 7.1 They hunt with a Net. They have their politic Gins to catch them. Gaudy Wares and dark Shops, (and would you have them love the light, that live by darkness, as many Shopkeepers) ⟨p. 75⟩draw and toll Customers in: where the crafty Leaches can soon feel their Pulses: if they must buy, they shall pay for their necessity. And though they plead, We compel none to buy our Wares; Caveat emptor: yet with fine voluble Phrases, damnable Protestations, they will cast a mist of error before an Eye of simple Trueth; and with cunning devises hunt them in. So some among us have feathered their nests, not by open violence, but politic circumvention. They have sought the Golden Fleece, not by Jason's Merit, but by Medea's Subtlety, by Medea's Sorcery.
