A DIALOGUE Between a Yorkshire-Alderman and Salamanca-Doctor at the Devil by Temple-Bar About Swearing Doct. HOW now Swear apace how does our noble Knight of the Post Ald. How now Lie apace Vicar of Tyborn Knight of the noble Order of the Halter what do you at the Conference Doct. Well met noble Sir P. this is fortunate that we should be the first of the Company now we may consult of an Expedient in our present Exigence Ald. If there be any mischeif on foot thou art one of the first that will have a hand in 't The first at the Conference the first at the Devil the first in the Plot and the first in Discovery the first in Vilany and I am made the first Example Doct. Good Sir Patience The Protestant Joynor was prefer'd beâ—ore you and the Protestant Cooper to avoid the same Destiny shew'd 〈◊〉 fair piair of heels we must have Patience to follow The way is open â—here is no other means left for your deliverances for if it comes once â—o the Pillory amongst all your beloved Brethren for whose Interest you stood with the hazard of your Ears you will hardly find any that will be so civil as to stand up for you Ald. Art thou the Saviour of the Nation the Defender of our Lives and Liberties hast thou saved our Necks from the Yoak of Tyranny and Slavery our Throats from a Popish Dagger our City from Fire and our Kingdome from Invasions and canst thou not save the Remnant of a poor Delinquents Ears Oh Patience Doct. This is your Swearing oh Patience Ald. Swear if that were a crime where wou'dst thou be exalted Doct. Indeed Swearing is but a Venial Sin as the times go now but your forswearing and amongst the Brethren too pá pá Ald. Thou Buggering Brazen-fac'd Lanthorn-jaw'd Tallowchap't Leviathan hast thou sworn so many honest people out of their Lives told so many damnable Lies and Contradictions and hâ—st thou the Impudence to upbraid me with Swearing I am beyond all Patience Doct. If I Swore and Ly'd to your knowledg I was paid for 't and if I was forsworn a thousand times over I was never catch't in it Ald. Yes in every particular thou Sworst to In the blindest Laberinths and darkest windings of the Plot a blind Man may catch thee Were not you catch'd at Doctors Commons before the King and Council and House of Lords in every Examination and in every Paragraff of your Narrative were you not catch'd in your black Bills and your Pilgrims wast thou not catch'd in little Don John and the Circumcised Parson and what was your Black Boy Apple-tree-Will Barly Broth Mum Chacolat Order of Magpies Fire balls of Sheeps Fat Tormentillios and Tewxbury Mustard Balls but so many Snares to catch credulous Fools wherein thou wast catch'd thy self at last Doct. If I was I had the Wit or Impudence to stand it out I was never catch'd by the Ears for being catch'd in a silly Lie Ald. No thou art Destin'd for another Catch but I wish I had had no Ears when I first gave Ear to thy cursed Plots and Forgeries I had not then stood in this danger of loosing them Doct. It is but what your folly deserves Was it not enough that you must stand up for the Cause and the Brethren but you must stand up for a Wooden Roof to your Copper Chain the Pillory even to the hazard of standing upon it being not only perjur'd for the Brethren but even to their Eternal shame found guilty of that Perjury Is this your Patience for the Cause Ald. If I am Perjur'd 't is upon the Evidence of others but thou as if it were not sufficient to be proov'd perjur'd by others must needs prove perjury upon thy self by thy own positive Testimony for abetting many several undeniable perjuries in the Case of the Jesuits Wakeman Marshal Carter c. thou swor'st point blank at White-Hall thou saw'st Mr. Turner in a Consult at Wild-Honse and at his Tryal thou swor'st it was at Fenwicks Chamber didst thou not swear as Colemans Tryal thou never saw'st Mr. Langhorn after April 78. and vet at Langhorns Tryal thou swor'st thou saw'st him Forty times in July following that was a Rapper Dect Did not you swear Pilk on did not mean the Duke when you clapt your hand upon his Mouth after he had exprest the words where was our Patience then Ald. Did'st thou not swear thou sawest him at Mass in St. Jamses through fifteen or sixteen Stone Walls and as many double Doors in his own Closet That was a Swinger Doct. Was it not you and your Accomplices that put me upon that Sham to bring him into the Plot Made me your Hackney to swear and forswear as the Devil and Money prompted me Come come I have not Patience any longer if you allow me not my Life-Guard and Ponsion as formerly I can turn Cat in Pan as well as and Whig Poet and be an Evidence against you as well as for you Ald. Thou hast Sham'd thy own Plots and outswearing all possibility art already become an Evidence against thy self Doct. Well well commend me to Elkanah to take up in time his Ears had hardly else atton'd for his Popish Successor I 'le write a Narrative I hear of a great Citizen 〈◊〉 coming over on the same Account if they have Patience to hear Ald. If the Wind be in that Corner 't is time for me to tack about for Holland not a Minute longer for my Ears Doct. Yet while you have 'em have Patience to hear me one Word I have been lately with a Great Man in Drury-Lane Ald. I understand you and how and how goes on the new Plot I know you are a Brewing Doct. I have not been there lately I never pass by but Bowman the Dog has a snap at me by the way Sometimes they upbraid me with the Dukes Health then out of Derision they crie a Waller a Waller Pilkington and Patience then they hang a Halter out of thê Window and bid me remember the Protestant Joyner Ald. That same is a Nest of notorious Torîes well if the Cause had gone on our side I had made the Dog too hot for their burning of Shaftsbury but we must Pray for Patience and when I am gone Pray still that the Lord may grant you Patience to go along with you in the great Work Farewel He was no sooner gone but the Company came in when there began immediatly a great contest about setting a new form of Government the Army and Militia which being different from that of the Doctors former Model in St. Omers had like to have raised the Devil amongst them but Shad ll came in with his Lute and allayed the Evil Spirit LONDON Printed for John Smith 1683
