which would be scorned in a Heathen or like a Jew spit upon the Saviour of the World because not their insomniated Messias but Monsieur procul hinc procul ite prophani Yet I seriously assure you dear Ladies as touching their several worships of these equivocal Christians as he cals them it is a newly forged blasphemy against the Truth and I question not but his God-father will one day congratulate his intelligence with a meritorious reward Well now into the Tavern I must follow my Frenchman who is my Ignis fatuus leads me in no method or order but what sees he now Now a legion of adversities as Shops Smoak Coaches Sea-coal would nor any wise man think this man mad or tumbled lately out of some Chaos But his chief regret is for the Sea-coal which he saith Comp. 5. That if there be any Hell it is in this Vulcano on a foggy day You may not well question a Hell Monsieur since in this piece of impiety and unhandsomeness if you had your reward you might easily perceive you are in the suburbs already Methinks this was as strange an Adventure as the Knight Errants Wind-mils and I suppose as much crazed your body so that I wonder at your high valour that dared Adventure that eyelet-holed invaded body of yours to such corroding fumes but peradventure you are well sheathed with Brimstone and Butter against this infection and you might have known or I wonder your Lord informed you not that the sulphure of our combustibles is a very great enemy to any Sacrifice made in favour of Venus her Oblations being burnt upon Altars in our Suburbs Comp. 6. But now if you will hear a loud one mark his words well I have saith he been in a spatious Church where I could not discern the Minister for smoak Ex ungue Leonem one may judge of the rest of his Narrative by this notorious untruth Did ever any sober man happen upon such an incounter Surely this Gentlemans Opticks were much eclipsed or some drunken vapors had over-clowded his mind or else he had framed in his smoaky Cranium such an imposture and I wonder Sir you make not a Recantation for such grosse insipid irregularity since if our very Boys read but your Book they would hoot at your Nation indeed for your sweet-lye-composed wonder Comp. 7. There is a number of houses where they sell Ale a muddy Beverage where the Gentlemen sit and spend much of their time in drinking it As for that wholesome pleasant restorative noble drink the blessed off-spring of Ceres what impudence dares find fault or cast a cloud over that gift of Nature Since that if it could be conveyed all the Earth would court it witness the great esteem is had in all parts of this our English Liquor so that one of your Count●ymen Doctors saith that there is no Liquor more increaseth the radical moisture and preserves the natural heat these two being the pillars of our decaying bodies Now for any one to speak against the props of life deserves to die as his own enemy under an unla●ented death But I am sure of this that this tipple and the grey Goose-wing had almost torn all the feathers from the back of France And certainly this Monsieur had some other reason then he produceth to inveigh against this Liquor it may be it holds no friendly correspondency with Venus races or else is not commodious by reason of its fumes for a Nation half drunk already And now he appeals to his Lord his confident and as a Preludium knowing my Lord was no enemy to the French Beauties to the prosecuting on his road of scandals And now let all the world consider this unheard of impudence against a Sex the whole hoast of Heroes court with Caresses due to their charms Creatures rather a Creation framed by the indulgent hand of the Deity as it were cordials poured down from Heaven in compassion to our infirmities You even you great Souls his folly hath not blusht to asperse with the like success pardon the dirty expression as the breath of a dunghil doth the Sun which still shall shine as glorious as his infatuated mind shall be obscured with infamy Comp. 8. That our Ladies suffer themselves to be treated in a Tavern and drink crowned cups strain them through their smocks This is an horrid impudence indeed survey the whole universe as their beauties excel so then these fair creatures in general their lives none whose lives are modester without ignominy and freer without scandals then our English Ladies This Gentleman comes over with our last desultory french visitation who had received so much virility by the posting of our Horses in the dayes of travel that they being in London did that thirteenth labour to Hercules twelve purging a stable of so much filth that our suburbs shall sing an Io Pean to them hereafter And truly those poor pieces of mortality bred an excellent French trade of it enough to keep them till the like opportunity may so seasonably court them And these are your Madamoseilles who Proteus like changed their shape to ingratiate their hire into Ladies Countesses this beauty and that beauty till they had taken Excise of your limbs gave you as good as you brought left you loose in the hilts These Mons are your Ladies that drink crowned healths and strained through their smocks these are those Beauties that are so free to such a Nation indeed it would be too great impiety for civil Ladies to neglect their noble souls their proper persons to court your deformities and diseases Comp. 9. It is the afternoon business of the English Gentlemen only to drink and be drunk Surely such as was your Females company such was your Males surely you rak'd Hell for these deboist unthrifty Cadets for otherwise I never knew this to be a custom amongst civil Gentlemen You say after they have taken their repast with the Ladies they withdraw into another Room certainly Monsieur this is a handsome separation for the Gentlemen to carrese one with another having sometimes Masculine Interests in hand whereas you thinking your selves only born for the smock and your ill-favoured Ladies of the placket never seperate your confused interests knowing no distinction between Male and Female civilized interests but only by the more retired managements of Nature and certainly you would seem to be so fond of your Mopsa's as not out of a complement to give them time to disimbogue As for our drinking healths or pledges if you knew but the way to our custom you will find it sprang from a laudable necessity at first was in earnest a duty performed really one friend for another The Danes know it But Monsieur you do but fanatically trifle in all your discourse As for our Cadets that visit the Gallows so frequently as you say I suppose yours in France are or ought to be so seriously imployed as their proper merit since your Roberies are meerly Massacres
