the Physician fears his Life, but I am afraid of his Soul: For I don't think he's so well prepar'd for his End as a Christian should be: I'll go and give him some pious Admonitions that he may be the better for, whether he lives or dies. In another Town there are two Men bitterly at odds, they are no ill Men neither, but Men of a very obstinate Temper. If the Matter should rise to a greater Height, I am afraid it would be of ill Consequence to more than themselves: I will do all I can in the World, to reconcile them; they are both my Kinsmen. This is my hunting Match, and if I shall have good Success in it, we'll drink their Healths. _Ti._ A very pious Hunting, indeed; we pray heartily, that not _Delia_ but _Christ_ would give you good Success. _Eu._ I had rather obtain this Prey, than have two thousand Ducats left me for a Legacy. _Ti._ Will you come back quickly? _Eu._ Not till I have try'd every Thing; therefore, I can't set a Time. In the mean Time, be as free with any Thing of mine, as though it were your own, and enjoy yourselves. _Ti._ God be with you, forward and backward. _The APOTHEOSIS of CAPNIO._ The ARGUMENT. _Canonizing, or entring the incomparable Man_, John Reuclin, _into the Number of the Saints, teaches how much Honour is due to famous Men, who have by their Industry improv'd the liberal Sciences_. None that has liv'd Well, dies Ill. POMPILIUS, BRASSICANUS. _Po._ Where have you been, with your Spatter-Lashes? _Br._ At _Tubinga_. _Po._ Is there no News there? _Br._ I can't but admire, that the World should run so strangely a gadding after News. I heard a _Camel_ preach at _Lovain_, that we should have nothing to do with any Thing that is new. _Po._ Indeed, it is a Conceit fit for a Camel. That Man, (if he be a Man,) ought never to change his old Shoes, or his Shirt, and always to feed upon stale Eggs, and drink nothing but sour Wine. _Br._ But for all this, you must know, the good Man does not love old Things so well, but that he had rather have his Porridge fresh than stale. _Po._ No more of the Camel; but prithee tell me, what News have you? _Br._ Nay, I have News in my Budget too; but News which he says is naught. _Po._ But that which is new, will be old in Time. Now if all old Things be good, and all new Things be bad, then it follows of Consequence, that that which is good at present, has been bad heretofore, and that whi
