hich since the Creation was never capable of receiving a Lighter, yet by another Miracle the King of _France_ was to ride there with a vast Fleet of Ships, and to land a hundred thousand Men. _Bel_. This is a swinging Wonder--but are there store of Mad-men there, Sir? _Bea_. That's another Rarity to see a Man run out of his Wits. _Noi_. Marry, Sir, the wiser they I say. _Bea_. Pray, Sir, what store of Miracles have you at _St. Omers?_ _Bel_. None, Sir, since that of the wonderful _Salamanca_ Doctor, who was both here and there at the same Instant of time. _Bea_. How, Sir? why, that's impossible. _Bel_. That was the Wonder, Sir, because 'twas impossible. _Noi_. But 'twas a greater, Sir, that 'twas believed. _Enter L_. Fulb. _and_ Pert, _Sir_ Cau. _and Sir_ Feeb. Sir _Feeb_. Enough, enough, Sir _Cautious_, we apprehend one another. Mr. _Bearjest_, your Uncle here and I have struck the Bargain, the Wench is yours with three thousand Pound present, and something more after Death, which your Uncle likes well. _Bea_.

Prithee hold thy Peace, my Lady's Woman. L. _Ful_. Sir, I beg your pardon for not waiting on you to Church-- I knew you wou'd be private. _Enter_ Let_. fine in Jewels_. Sir _Feeb_. You honour us too highly now, Madam. [_Presents his Wife, who salutes her_. L. _Ful_. Give you Joy, my dear _Leticia_! I find, Sir, you were resolved for Youth, Wit and Beauty. Sir _Feeb_. Ay, ay, Madam, to the Comfort of many a hoping Coxcomb: but _Lette_,--Rogue _Lette_--thou wo't not make me free o'th' City a second time, wo't thou entice the Rogues with the Twire and the wanton Leer --the amorous Simper that cries, come, kiss me--then the pretty round Lips are pouted out--he, Rogue, how I long to be at 'em!--well, she shall never go to Church more, that she shall not. L. _Ful_. How, Sir, not to Church, the chiefest Recreation of a City Lady? Sir _Feeb_. That's all one, Madam, that tricking and dressing, and prinking and patching, is not your Devotion to Heaven,
