Ar. You might have found that nearer Home. But did you meet with any Thing worth seeing there?
Co. Why truly, to speak ingenuously, little or nothing. They shew us some certain Monuments of Antiquity, which I look upon to be most of 'em Counterfeits, and meer Contrivances to bubble the Simple and Credulous. I don't think they know precisely the Place that Jerusalem anciently stood in.
Ar. What did you see then?
Co. A great deal of Barbarity every where.
Ar. But I hope you are come back more holy than you went.
Co. No indeed, rather ten Times worse.
Ar. Well, but then you are richer?
Co. Nay, rather poorer than Job.
Ar. But don't you repent you have taken so long a Journey to so little Purpose?
Co. No, nor I am not asham'd neither, I have so many Companions of my Folly to keep me in Countenance; and as for Repentance, it's too late now.
