[...] Piscator. You know, Gentlemen, it is an easy
thing to scoff at any art or recreation; a little wit
mixed with ill nature, confidence, and malice, will do
it; but though they often venture boldly, yet they are
often caught, even in their own trap, according to
that of Lucian, the father of the family of Scoffers:
Lucian, well skilled in scoffing, this hath writ,
Friend, that's your folly, which you think your wit:
This you vent oft, void both of wit and fear,
Meaning another, when yourself you jeer.
If to this you add what Solomon says of Scoffers, that
they are an abomination to mankind, let him that
thinks fit scoff on, and be a Scoffer still; but I
account them enemies to me and all that love Virtue
and Angling. [...]
