The young man's guide through the wilderness of this world to the heavenly Canaan…

Or when poor people expose their Wares to sale which they have wrought up, to buy Bread for themselves and Family: How many are there who take advantage of their necessity, offering them little more for the same, than their goods cost them before they were wrought up! which is an high degree of oppression, forcing them to sell their tears, sighs, and groans with their wares, because they are necessitated to part with them at such low rates. Thus many sell their souls for the gaining a few pence, and then bless themselves in their good bargain.

'Tis an evil rule which some men propose to themselves, and take to be warrantable enough, To buy as cheap, and sell as dear as they can, that is, to wrong and over-reach if they be able; if they be honest, 'tis because they cannot help it. And 'tis a poor shift they allege to save themselves from blame, viz. Caveat emptor, let the buyer look to himself. Wherefore hath he his eyes and understanding? If he be deceived, he hath deceived himself. Is that all thou hast to say, Caveat Emptor? Why that's no more but this, Let him count me a knave that he hath to do with: let him trust his own eyes, and not my words, or Oaths, o• Conscience, for there's no trust to be given to them. Is not this it thou sayest, and dost thou not herein say well for thy self?
