"Human Reason is a Tincture, infus'd, in a Proportion almost equal, into all our Opinions and Customs of what Form soever they be."
Metaphor in Context
The Wit of Man is not capable of any Fancy so wild and extravagant, which does not meet with some Example of publick Practice, and consequently is, in some measure, justified and supported by our Reason. Human Reason is a Tincture, infus'd, in a Proportion almost equal, into all our Opinions and Customs of what Form soever they be.
