ow do's my Master? _And._ Is at's book, peace Coxcomb, That such an unlearn'd tongue as thine should ask for him! _Co._ Do's he not study conjuring too? _And._ Have you Lost any Plate, _Butler_? _But._ No, but I know I shall to morrow at dinner. _And._ Then to morrow You shall be turn'd out of your place for't; we meddle With no spirits oth' Buttry, they taste too small for us; Keep me a Pye _in folio_, I beseech thee, And thou shall see how learnedly Ile translate him; Shalls have good cheer to morrow? _Coo. Ex._ Lent, good cheer _Andrew_. _And._ The spight on't is, that much about that time, I shall be arguing, or deciding rather, Which are the Males or Females of red Herrings And whether they be taken in the red Sea onely, A question found out by _Copernicus_, The learned Motion-maker. _Co._ I marry _Butler_, Here are rare things; a man that look'd upon him, Would swear he understood no more than we do. _But._ Certain, a learned _Andrew_. _And._ I've so much on't And am so loaden with strong understanding, I fear, they'l run me mad, here's a new instrument, A metamatical glister to purge the Moon with, When she is laden with cold flegmatick humours, And here's another to remove the Stars, When they grow too thick in the Firmament. _Co._ O heavens! why do I labour out my life In a beef-pot? and only search the secrets Of a Sallad; and know no farther! _And._ They are not Reveal'd to all heads; These are far above Your Element of Fire. _Cooke._ I could tell you Of _Archimides_ glass to fire your coals with, And of the Philosophers turf that nere goes out; And _Gilbert Butler_, I could ravish thee, With two rare inventions. _But._ What are they _Andrew_? _And._ The one to blanch your bread from chippings base, And in a moment, as thou wouldst an Almond, The Sect of the Epicureans invented that; The other for thy trenches, that's a strong one, To cleanse you twenty dozen in a minute, And no noise heard, which is the wonder _Gilbert_, And this was out of _Plato's_ new _Idea's_. _But._ Why, what a learned Master do'st thou serve _Andrew_? _And._ These are but the scrapings of his understanding, _Gilbert_; With gods and goddesses, and such strange people He deals, and treats with in so plain a fashion, As thou do'st with thy boy that drawes thy drink, Or _Ralph_ there with his kitchin boyes and scalders. _Coo._ But why should he not be familiar and talk sometimes, As other Christians do,
