er, That their kind Sons, to rid them of their care, Wish them in Heaven; or if they take a taste Of Purgatory by the way, it matters not, Provided they remove hence; what is befaln To his Father, in the other world, I ask not; I am sure his prayer is heard: would I could use one For mine, in the same method. _Ars_. Fie upon thee. This is prophane. _Mil_. Good Doctor, do not school me For a fault you are not free from: On my life Were all Heirs in _Corduba_, put to their Oaths, They would confess with me, 'tis a sound Tenet: I am sure _Leandro_ do's. _Ars_.
