Small Men, Tis in a Wheel that They have their Condition. It is a thing Celebrated in Psal. 113.7, 8. He Raises up the Poor out of the Dust, and Lifts the Needy out of the Dunghill; That He may set him with Princes, with the Princes of his People. Thus, the Son of a Poor Potter among the Ancients, was lifted up, from the Wheels wherein he shaped his Clay, unto a Sceptre. And, O WHEEL; The Son of a Poor Blacksmith, among the Moderns, was made One of the Greatest Men, and the Grand Instrument of the Reformation, in the English Nation.
