LII. On the Kackling of a Hen.
The Hen so soon as she an Egg doth lay, (Spreads the Fame of her doing▪ what she may.) About the Yard she cackling now doth go, To tell what it was she at her Nest did do.

Just thus it is with some Professing men, If they do ought that good is, like our Hen, They can't but cackle on't, where 'ere they go, What their right hand doth, their left hand must know.
