BETWEEN
MOSES, DIOGENES, AND MR. LOKE
DIOGENES
Confess, oh Moses! Your Miracles were but conjuring-tricks, your Prophecies lucky Hazards, and your Laws a Gallimaufry of Commonplaces and Absurdities.
MR. LOKE
Confess that you were more skill'd in flattering the Vulgar than in ascertaining the Truth, and that your Reputation in the World would never have been so high, had your Lot fallen among a Nation of Philosophers.
DIOGENES
Confess that when you taught the Jews to spoil the Egyptians you were a sad rogue.
MR. LOKE
Confess that it was a Fable to give Horses to Pharaoh and an uncloven hoof to the Hare.
