WILLIAM
PENN
"Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims" Luxury 28. Such is now become our Delicacy, that we will not eat ordinary Meat, nor drink small, pall'd Liquor; we must have the best, and the best cook'd for our Bodies, while our Souls feed on empty or corrupted Things. 29. In short, Man
is spending all upon a bare House, and hath little or no Furniture within
to recommend it; which is preferring the Cabinet before the Jewel, a
Lease of seven Years before an inheritance. So absurd a thing is Man,
after all his proud Pretences to Wit and Understanding.
