he Term following for the same, which Indictment is not yet tried._ In the Humour of the Age. 'Marriage, that was only contriv'd for the meaner Rank; tell me of Marriage, commend me to a Whore. 'Every serious Thought, was so much Time lost. 'We address you with the same awful Reverence we petition Heaven. _In Sir 'Courtly Nice'._ 'Nay, his Salvation is a Looking-Glass, for there he finds his eternal Happiness, Surly's Heaven, at least his Priest is his Claret-Glass, for to that he confesses all his Sins, and from it receives Absolution and Comfort. But his Damnation is a Looking-Glass, for there he finds an eternal Fire in his Nose. 'That same thing, the Word _Love_, is a Fig-Leaf to cover the naked Sense, a Fashion brought up by _Eve_, the Mother of Jilts, she Cuckold her Husband with the Serpent, then pretended to Modesty, and fell a making of Plackets.

'How have I lov'd, to Heaven I appeal; but Heaven does now permit that Love no more. 'Why does it then permit us Life and Thought? Are we deceiv'd in its Omnipotence? Is it reduc'd to find its Pleasure in its Creature's Pain? Pag. 33. '_Leonora_'s Charms turn Vice to Virtue, Treason into Truth; Nature, who has made her the Supream Object of our Desires must needs have design'd her the Regulator of our Morals. 'There he goes I'faith; he seem'd as if he had a Qualm just now; but he never goes without a Dram of Conscience-water about him to set Matters right again. Pag. 43.
