Fragment

Some time after Mr. Jno. Newton had published his Omicron, and described the three stages of growth in religion, from the blade, the ear, and the full corn in the ear, distinguishing them by the letters A, B, and C, a conceited young minister wrote to Mr. N., telling him he read his own character accurately drawn in that of C. Mr. N. wrote in reply, that, in drawing the character of C, or full maturity, he had forgotten to add, till now, one prominent feature of C's character, namely, that C never knew his own face."
