Couplet in De Foe

"Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise, And good men wicked liberties despise." The couplet is altered from the following couplet in De Foe's *True Born Englishman*:— "Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise, But Englishmen do all restraint despise." See collection of his writings, vol. i. p. 20., edit. 1703.
