WILLIAM
PENN
"Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims" Wit 168. Wit is an happy and striking way of expressing a Thought. 169. 'Tis not often tho' it be lively and mantling, that it carries a great Body with it. 170. Wit therefore is fitter for Diversion than Business, being more grateful to Fancy than Judgment. 171. Less Judgment than Wit, is more Sale than Ballast. 172. Yet it must be confessed, that Wit gives an Edge to Sense, and recommends it extreamly. 173. Where Judgment
has Wit to express it, there's the best Orator.
