Sul. Eh!—I must be acquainted with you, sir,—but, sir, I should be very glad to know the truth of this matter.
Sir C. Truth, sir, is a profound sea, and few there be that dare wade deep enough to find out the bottom on't. Besides, sir, I am afraid the line of your understanding mayn't be long enough.
Sul. Lookye, sir, I have nothing to say to your sea of truth; but if a good parcel of land can entitle a man to a little truth, I have as much as any he in the county.
Bon. I never heard your worship, as the saying is, talk so much before.
Sul. Because I never met with a man that I liked before.
Bon. Pray, sir, as the saying is, let me ask you one question: are not man and wife one flesh?
Sir C. You and your wife, Mr. Guts, may be one flesh, because you are nothing else——but rational creatures have minds that must be united.
Sul. Minds!
Sir C. Ay, minds, sir; don't you think that the mind takes place of the body?
Sul. In some people.
