"What prodigious armies you had in _Flanders!_" ----Brother _Toby_, quoth my father, I do believe thee to be as honest a man, and with as good and as upright a heart as ever God created; --nor is it thy fault, if all the children which have been, may, can, shall, will, or ought to be begotten, come with their heads foremost into the world: ----but believe me, dear _Toby_, the accidents which unavoidably waylay them, not only in the article of our begetting 'em----though these, in my opinion, are well worth considering, ----but the dangers and difficulties our children are beset with, after they are got forth into the world, are enow--little need is there to expose them to unnecessary ones in their passage to it. 
'What prodigious armies you had in Flanders! - Brother Toby,' quoth my father, 'I do believe thee to be an honest, upright man; nor is it thy fault, if children come with their heads foremost into the world: - but believe me, dear Toby, the dangers our children meet, after they enter the world, are enough - there is no need to expose them to unnecessary dangers in their passage to it.'
