Au. I can tell well enough, if I might be allow'd to be a Dictator in Ecclesiastical Affairs.
Ch. What do you mean by that?
Au. If I were Pope I would exhort all Persons to a perpetual Sobriety of Life, but especially before an holy-Day; and moreover, I would give every one leave to eat what he would, for the Health of his Body, so he did it moderately, and with Thanksgiving; and I would endeavour that what was abated of these Observations should be made up in the Study of true Piety.
Ch. That in my Opinion is of so great Weight, that we ought to make you Pope.
Au. For all your laughing, this Neck could bear a triple Crown.
Ch. But in the mean Time take Care that these Things be not enter'd down in the Sorbon at Paris.
Au. Nay, rather let what is said be written in Wine, as it is fit those Things should that are said over our Cups; but we have had Divinity enough for a Feast We are at Supper, not at the Sorbon.
Ch. Why mayn't that be call'd Sorbon where we sup plentifully?
Au. Well, let us sup then, and not dispute, lest the Sorbon be called after us from Sorbis, and not from Sorbendo.
