A18423	Tvvo vvise men and all the rest fooles: or A comicall morall, censuring the follies of this age as it hath beene diverse times acted.	Chapman, George, 1559?-1634.	1619 (1619)	STC 4991; ESTC S107717	72,694	112

stood by and yet had nothing to doe with the question went about to proue me a horse and thus he began Euery liuing beast or Animal that hath in him horse stones is a horse But this Animal meaning me hath horse stones in him Ergo he is a horse I was striken in such a maze knowing that I did eate the horse stones that I was like to sinke where I stood and euen presently to congeale into a horse But there was by chance an honest Scholler by who saw my colour quite gone took pity on me and bade me be of good cheere I shood not be a horse And told the tother to his face that there was a flacy in his argumen And then fetcht him about with a Recumbentibus and prou'd that the horse stones which I had eaten were consum'd and became such stuffe as I cannot tel you without Sir reuerence of your teeth and that they did not grow in me as they doe in horses Ergo the case was alter'd Then vpon this point of growing and not growing there was such a sturre that all the horse-coursers in the Faire came about vs One said they did grow another denyed it and such part taking on both sides that in the end I was content being desirous to make them friends to bee search't in the open market and so was cleer'd before them all to haue no more stones then I shood haue And glad was I that I was not a horse Had not I thinke you good cause to remember Logicke Yes I shall neuer forget it if I should liue 100 yeares Hor. Goe to then if you bee such a scholler I will not dispute with you about the Holy dayes but my neighbour Acuto hath beene a scholler as well as you and hee is able to shew you many reasons why they ought to continue And he hath fully converted me Vul. I will not be judg'd by Acuto nor by a better man then he Why I tell you my neighbour Rustico and I thinke our selues as good men as Acuto and you and we are two to two Wee le neuer yeeld while the Plow and chaines hold and that wil be a good long time for as fast as they weare I can mend them Acu. Will you referre it then to iudgement of indifferent men we are all neighbours let vs not fall out about things that none of vs haue skill in Rust. Yes wee le be iudg'd but not by any braue people for they will all take part with the Tayler that makes their parell gawdie and with the Gardner that makes them pleasant waukes and knots Acu. Wee le giue you the choice so that you name none of your owne trade and an indifferent man Rust. You say honestlie Nay truelie we are desirous to haue an end of it so that none of vs be his owne carver Here sits a countrie Gentleman a plaine man a good house-keeper and peace-maker among all his neighbours he is no Iustice of peace so there is no feare to speake our minde before him nor neede we any minerator to him he is very courteous Acu. Wee le not refuse him nor any that is honest Rust. God saue you Sir Heere is a great controuersie betweene foure neighbours two against two Reasons are alleaged on both sides and neither part will agree to other In the end we accorded to referre the matter to you we beseech you to consider and order it as you please and then so shall it be Secu. The controversie is beyond my skill it being matter of diuinity but mine opinion is they ought still to bee kept For I perswade my selfe that our Auncetours which did all things well had speciall reasons for these daies to be kept holy What their reasons were I take not vpon me to set downe there sits a Religious man he is more like to quenche your thirst and resolue your doubts then I am Vul. Most Reverend Sir though we be strangers to you we are bold to aske your counsell in a busines of weight Her You are welcome whosoeuer you are no marvaile though you be strangers to me who haue estranged my self from all the world but what counsell can you expect from me who am not like to giue wordly men any satisfaction since I haue alreadie given the world with all his busines an vtter farewell Acu. Sir our busines is not worldly though it concerne worldlie men euen as your life is not worldlike though bodilie you liue on earth Vul. Nay M. Acuto stand aside or I le haue you taken away for you marre the paly you are very forward to take the tale out of my mouth as if you had more wit but I think not so I began first to speake vnto this man therefore I wil haue the last word Sir our busines with you shal be short for I am a hot fellow and I strike thick and short This Tailer takes long and wide stitches and drawes out the time to make his worke seeme much Our difference is for the Holy-dayes as they stand in the Kalender whether it were fitter they should be retourn'd into working-daies as they were at the first or remaine to the worlds end If you iudge they ought to stand we are content and will worke harder at other times If you will haue them downe doe but say the word hold vp your finger wee le maule vs to the ground at a blow Her Your questiō is not hard to decide fit enough for me to deliuer mine opinion in It is true they were all working daies at the first For which purpose it is said such work as thou doest worke it in those six daies and not on the seauenth day Yet God did neuer forbid any of those six daies to be kept holy And the Christian Church hath appointed many daies to be kept holy in memory of Saints which suffered diverse torments for Christs sake who suffered all for them and for them all And those to be kept to the worlds end that their facts and fame might neuer die but encourage others to treade their bloudie but Heauenly steppes Therefore since the Church of God and custome of Christian countries haue so ordered it let no mans private rashnes presume such alteration as to make away or put out the Holy-dayes but with due reverence to obserue them Vul. Gods blessing on you Sir you haue quite confiscated my conceite I le kill him that would haue them downe Such a sermon every day would make me keepe all the rest of the weeke holy Gow neighbour Rustico you and I will hang together and change together I le neuer meddle with any matter out of the length and bredth of my Anvile fall back fall edge while I breathe Me thinkes I am good enough with this little teaching I shall neuer need to mend heereafter I could finde in my heart to goe to hanging presently and be a martyr if I might haue no time to thinke of the paine but goe aliue to Heauen
