Pa. It seem'd so to me, when I heard them Singing.
Gl. What? Do dead Men sing? But how many Months did you spend among the Scots?
Pa. Almost six.
Gl. A wonderful Constancy.
Eu. What offended you there?
Pa. Because it seem'd to me to be a lazy, delicate Sort of Life; and then I found there, many that were not of a very sound Brain, by Reason of their Solitude. I had but a little Brain myself, and I was afraid I should lose it all.
Po. Whither did you take your next Flight?
Pa. Into France: There I found some cloath'd all in Black, of the Order of St. Benedict, who intimate by the Colour of their Cloaths, that they are Mourners in this World; and among these, there were some, that for their upper Garment wore Hair-Cloth like a Net.
Gl. A grievous Mortification of the Flesh.
Pa. Here I stay'd eleven Months.
