XXXVII. Upon the whipping of a Top.
'Tis with the Whip the Boy sets up the Top, The Whip makes it run round upon it's Toe; The Whip makes it hither and thither hop: 'Tis with the Whip, the Top is made to go.

Comparison. Our Legalist is like unto this Top, Without a Whip, he doth not Duty do. Let Moses whip him, he will skip and hop; Forbear to whip, he'll neither stand nor go.
